9 weeks today and i woke up not being able to do up any of my ordinary
skirts. LOL! they are all fitted/slimfit & i was like this with DS at 12
weeks, so i'm not surprised. it's just funny how you go to bed one size &
wake up another.

lucky i bought a nice stretchy skirt from ebay the other week. i just don't
have the energy to sew anything at the moment!

and something must have changed down there as i can't stand avocado or
mushroom today which is all i felt like eating up until now. now it's potato
i'm hankering for.

i wonder what next week will bring????

i usually love avacado, and early in my pg I bought 3 of them, and they
ended up sitting around till the rotted. I found out after that that
they are actually poisonous to many animals, so I could see why the
pregnant palate might be a little leary of avacados.

Just because they're poisonous to some animals doesn't mean they're bad for
humans. Heck, chocolate is poisonous for dogs and downright healthy in
moderation for humans. Avocado has tasted *so* good to me lately. They've
got a lot of good fats and vitamins in them.

" The avocado fruit's flesh is safe to eat. However, the seeds and skin of
the fruit and the leaves and bark of the tree are poisonous to cattle,
horses, goats, rabbits and other animals."

Sounds like not something to worry about... (not that you should eat it if
it doesn't sound good, but it's not dangerous.)

oh, i didn't mean i would stop eating them because of that. i was just going
to stop because i don't fancy them anymore. but we all had some on our
sandwich today, so i can eat them again. yay!

Same here. I have been wearing maternity jeans for a couple of weeks now.
None of my usual size jeans would do up, and if I wear tight things it makes
my m/s worse. My midwife came out last week and my first US will be at 12
weeks. I am not worried about the peanut, because the amount of
sickness/nausea I am suffering must mean he/she is ok!

it's good to know i'm not the only one! anyone who knows me would guess i'm
pregnant know, i usually have a very flat tummy & now it's definitely not!
it's funny, we didn't really want to tell many people in the first
trimester, but it's amazing how many people i knew asked "so, when are you
having another?" & i had to tell them i was pregnant.

I was at my sons school play, and two women were having a conversation about
not having too many children. One of them turned to me and said "I think she
is mad having another, would you have any more?" I told her, "Actually, I am
pregnant with my 6th". Her face was a picture.

I am quite house- bound at the moment, with the sickness. I drove my kids to
school, and had to to get back quick to vomit!
Also the other day while driving the kids home from school I had a migraine
attack and lost 80% of my vision at the wheel - that was scary!

When my DH asked for another baby I told him not till I have passed my
driving test, which I passed in December... now I am not so sure it matters
with all the nausea!

I've got "regular" clothes that STILL fit me at 41 weeks. Stretch velvet,
but still...

Sometimes I worry I don't even have a baby! I'm almost 12 weeks, and my
regular clothes fit no problem. But then again, I don't wear anything
fitted or slimfit! How fun that you popped out overnight! :)

The funny thing though is that my boobs have grown so much that if I suck my
gut in really hard, the boobs "win" the race. With dd, someone came up and
hugged me at 8 1/2 months and asked what I was doing with my life... I
looked down and said, "You just hugged it."

It took her a minute to figure it out. I was wearing all black,
non-maternity clothes, but still...8 1/2 months....

Well, I'm 30 weeks and have a big basketball tummy. No mistaking it for
anything else. I was on a crowded bus with dh and ds yesterday, and I
was standing next to a woman with a 6 mo baby in a stroller, with whom
I'd struck up a conversation. An elderly man smiled, looked at me, and
said "oh, she's so cute!" I agreed that she was. Then he asked her
name, and the mom replied, and he looked at me and said, "I thought it
was *your* baby!"

Um, I don't work *that* fast!

That's so how it was for me with my first pg. Boobs were the reason
for me too. With subsequent pgs though my belly just keeps getting
bigger and bigger each time, so there's no mistaking I'm pg this time.

Oh, yeah, I certainly had some "regular" clothes that fit me at 41 weeks,
but I guess the fact that I'm still wearing my jeans (not low-riders) and
some tighter shirts quite comfortably, and more comfortably than before I
was pg, seems weird.

I have a picture of me a week before I birthed my first in this darling
sweater dress that was not maternity. I really don't like most of the
maternity dresses I had, so I think most of the time I wore a "regular"
dress that would stretch to fit. That is, when I wore a dress...
