I got occasional headaches with the others, but it is an every day thing this time around... and it makes me crabby!!! This is my #4,too, and you'd think my body would have things figured out by now! I have another appointment the end of next week, and I'm starting to wish that I had decided to do the early screening thing just so that I could see this baby and have some peace of mind that everything is "normal" even though it all seems so different!

I'm sorry you feel bad too. I sure hope our tummies and headaches get better soon! It does make me feel better that you didn't feel yours until 14-15 weeks. Maybe this is pretty normal then. I can't expect everything to be the same I guess.

So we are now back in cloth ..still going to use sposies at night though..ds just wets too much. I cannot find a combo to hold him for 13 hrs at night. With the all day sickness I was having I could not bring myself to rinse poo even with liner in.. now I'm doing better and refuse to buy more sposies.

It's a true miracle from God. He's slept through the night from 6.5 weeks... amazing! We both get up at 9am.. I usually get up a bit earlier to shower. Today his nap was 3-5:30pm so 8 pm bedtime may not be our target tonight!

Holy moly! I am lucky if my 22 month old sleeps 7 hours at night. My ODS sleeps 12 hours if I let him and my DD sleeps about 9 hours every night.

I have had the worst weekend (including mon tue) I cannot eat anything. I open my fridge and get sick to my stomach. DH had to take me to Chillies this weekend because I couldn't eat anything but I was craving a big ol burger (and by the way I hate burgers) and I haven't eaten any "real" food since. I went to the commissary yesterday and everything looked gross theo ly thing that I could buy that didn't make me want to vomit was French bread, cottage cheese, and pre packed potato salad. This is the worst pregnancy ever. I loved being preggo with the others but this one is just kicking my butt!

I am so mad right now. I went to take my prenatal vitamin, the ones from the Naval hospital here, and noticed on the bottle there are 4 artificial food colorings in them to include RED 40!!!! WTH?! There is seriously something wrong with this country. *Sigh* Anyway - off to research some to order. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know. I'm not having any issues with nausea from them or anything so I don't need to take that into consideration.

Wow...where are you located holly? I love the gummies.. target brand and vita fusion are the same ones .. I used to get nature made ones but now I'm going to look at the ingredients list...

I am taking the Rainbow Light one day and really like them. Good luck!

I buy thm at whole foods, but they're also online. i've read many many many recommendations for them.

if i'm lazy, i may just take the kiddos gummies from trader joes(all natural...minus sucralose that we try to avoid, but no dyes) bcz they taste good lol.

that plus a nature made folic acid.

I'm just in California, but I don't understand the US obsession with artificial food dyes. In other countries they are not allowed or are very strictly regulated. Take Nutrigrain bars, for example. In the US the strawberry ones have red #40 in them. In Europe they have natural food colorings in them - because red 40 is recognized there as unsafe for consumption! Ok - must end rant before I get all stressed again. Thanks for the recommendations, ladies. I'll get to looking at them!
