Almost 11 weeks and feeling huge, impatient, and possibly beginning baby nesting.
Anyone else finally starting to not feel nauseous?! Sweet relief but now theres new problems no one ever really talks about until after you get pregnant. After a year and half of TTC, I'm nearly 11 weeks and having so much bloat it is insane! I am beginning to see the real bump starting to make its way out of my pelvic region, but I just feel so tight, stretched, and bloated from below the ribcage. My jeans don't fit and I was hoping to not need maternity clothes until the 2nd.trimester. I am sure part of it has been the amount that I am eating, I cannot seem to fully satiate the hunger! I eat a lot of small meals throughout the day and snack. Lots of fruits and veggies. My doctor wants me to gain close to 40lbs this pregnancy, and so far I have gained about 7lbs from my PPW. I use Milk of Magnesia and Miralax once or twice week to keep things moving. We had an US at 8 weeks and at 10 weeks, so far baby is doing great. We should be getting our NIPT results any day now, and we are so excited to find out the sex of our first born. I have already painted the nursery and really want to go and buy the crib and dresser/changing table. We already have a swing, futon, rocking chair, bouncer, rug, and bookcase. My MIL is gifting us my husbands rocking chair that was given to him by his great-grandparents before his birth. This baby is already so loved and it still is weird to be this close to motherhood as it still feels surreal. All I want to do is get everything ready. We're refinishing the hardwood and getting new livingroom furniture in addition to the nursery so there's so much to do. How are you mommas prepping?
