[open] Pregnant women - a place to chat!

Yeah, I know I don't have to entirely give up caffeine, it's just that right now the taste grosses me out. Weird, eh? I usually love coffee! But I think I'd be ok with a cold Frappucino from Starbucks, so I might get one at the store later.

I was the same way, I was a Starbucks addict before I got pregnant but while I was TTC I tried to back off a bit. I would treat myself to coffee every now and then though but once I got pregnant I was so turned off to coffee, the thought of it made me want to puke.

Be careful with Starbucks Fraps and any other espresso loaded drink, they have much more caffeine then your normal cup of coffee.

 

[Green Orchid]

I didn't know that about Starbucks Frap, thanks for telling me! I'll won't have the whole serving then, which is kind of big anyway.

So I had a very stressful week last week and started having either cramps or contractions Sat night. Thanksfully there was no blood. I go to the doctor on Thursday and MIL is going with me, cause one of the stressers was the car breaking down on the interstate.

 

[Redstiletto]

Yeah I heard about that Peg! ARe you ok now?

I was having cramps real bad last week, and no bleeding, they told me to put my feet up, stop working so much and drink more fluids, because its my uterus and its a muscle.


I find out on Thursday if I have more than one!

 

[PegasusOnFire]

yeah I am doing ok, um, I have a migrane, so it is good that my MIL is driving me around, though bad cause I drive a bus for a living.

Though if the warrenty company won't pay for the transmittion, which they should since it is still covered, then that is $2000 we don't have, that we will have to pay, but our pastor wants to know what all is going on, so I think he might ask the church to help us out.

 

[Redstiletto]

Aww what a nice pastor!!!

Don't worry it will all work out!

 

[PegasusOnFire]

I am trying not to worry, but you know it is just so hard not to. Though right now my hubby is stressing more about it than I am. The only car we have now is a Ranger and only Him and the baby can fit in it, so MIL is driving me all over the place. I thank God we work together and get along.

 

[Redstiletto]

Aww!!!

I have a broke down Dodge Neon in my driveway!

I keep begging Dennis to buy me a Ford Escape (its my dream car, how cheesy I know) But that is the only car I have ever wanted!

And now with baby coming along we will need a third vehicle, One for Daddy to drive to work, one for Mommy to cart baby around in and the truck (I refuse to let him get rid of it, it is so pretty)

 

[PegasusOnFire]

well the truck that hubby drives is actually mine, I bought it the month we got married cause my van kept breaking down on me. He uses it for work and to take Christian to the sitter.

 

[Redstiletto]

Aww. Dennis' truck has been with us for years now, its a 2002, F150 and he paid it all off in under a year! He bought it brand new when he was in college.

And when I met him, he said, he would never drive anything else besides a truck. And now he is talking about selling the truck to get a car. I put my foot down, I wont let him.

 

[PegasusOnFire]

you sound like my hubby, I wanted to trade the truck in for a van but hubby won't let me, so after this baby is born he gets the Vue and I get my truck back, btw I had to teach him how to drive a stick so that he could drive it when I was pregnant with the baby we lost.

 

[Redstiletto]

Sorry about the loss, but it is funny that you had to teach him how to drive it!

 

[jessesgirl]

I gave up cokes (which are like my coffee) but the only reason I gave them up is that they started tasting AWFUL once I got pregnant. Hubby and I tried to go eat Chinese yesterday after church because I didn't want to cook..but we walked in to my fave chinese restaurant and I nearly puked in the entry way. The smell was REALLY strong and it REALLY got to me!!! So we went home and hubby made fajitas. He is so wonderful! I FINALLY have my dermatologist appointment tomorrow, hoping they will give me some sort of reprieve so I can sleep again...we shall see!

 

[PegasusOnFire]

I had a little girl throw up on the bus today, it almost made me do it. My MIL took me to lunch, it was yummy.

 

[Redstiletto]

I havent had lunch yet
I am not hungry at all.

I understand! I've been under a lot of stress recently too and my Braxton Hicks has increased when I start feeling the stress in my body. I can actually feel the BH and they hurt this pregnancy, last time if I had them they went unnoticed. Its supposed to be pretty normal though and nothing to worry about, just our bodies practicing.... so long as they are not regular like labor.

I hate coffee, but I do like pop.

And I am ALWAYS hungry now. I sure wish I had an oatmeal creme pie in the house for some reason.... although those are about a billion calories.

 

[jessesgirl]

yum! I could go for a cherry pie, too! You know, one of those Mrs. Baird's pies????

 

[ChildByGrace]

I have mostly given up tea and coffee. i have the odd one or two but i try not to have too many. I used to drink loads of it. The funny thing is that i haven't actually gone off it - i've just decided not to have it much.

Had a nasty experience yesterday.

I was in a shop with my sister - waiting in line to get a hot chocolate and a cake when i came over all hot and sick. I'm used to feeling sick but i really felt like i was going to faint and/or be sick. I had to go to the bathroom to do alot of breathing. lol what fun

 

[PegasusOnFire]

well I got more bad news today, warrenty expired 2000 miles ago so it is going to cost around $4000 to fix the car, I gave up and am now letting hubby and FIL deal with it.
