Re: Pregnancy
well ive not suffered from any morning sickness at all and no tiredness, nothing. is this normal?
plus, when in your pregnancy will the cravings start?
thanks everyone for ur dua's
Congratulations Red Ruby hope it all goes well for you inshallah :)
Re: Pregnancy
RR, I've had 5 pregnancies and never had one day of morning sickness. Some people do get it, some dont. And every pregnancy is different - if you mashallah have another, you may well get all pukey! But anyway, that whole thing is mostly the 1st trimester so you have smooth sailing! :) And the tiredness, I always had it in my 1st trimester but many people get it in the last trimester. Everyone is different.
As time goes on, you may discover that some things just taste SO VERY delectable and thats the birth of a craving lol. I NEVER have a sweet tooth but every time I was pg, I HAD to have dark chocolate - either cake or an ice cream sunday. Again, this is not something that everyone encounters while pg, although most people do get cravings for something or other at some point during the pregnancy.
Enjoy!
Re: Pregnancy
Congratulations Red Ruby! Isnt this time soo exciting?
I am currently almost 22 weeks with our first and I havent had much of morning sickness either. I had some nausea for a couple of weeks but it disappeared around wk 8, fortunately so since i was such a baby about it :D This is my second preg (first was a m/c) and i didnt have mornign sickness with that one either so consider yourself lucky.
There is a thread on pregnancy but all the ppl in that group gave birth already. Hopefully the rest of can keep this one going.

RR I am 28 weeks preg with my first baby. i never had any problem till now. no morning sickness or back pain. but recently if i do have back pain but not alot.
at the beginning as i did have any problem, i use to think that i might not be even pregnant.
since past 3 weeks i have developed weired cravings...like eating raw rice, coal, lead and even liquid paper.
but ofcourse i dont eat any of these but i cant stop myself from eating raw rice. when i go home from work, first thing i take rice, wash and eat.
but doctor told me i have very very low iron and that explained my cravings. now i am on tablets and my cravings have decreased.
Re: Pregnancy
lol @ craving for raw rice
Re: Pregnancy
nice to know about everyone's pregnancy.
my sister had craving for raw rice aswell and another sister for ice. maybe im the lucky one for everythin going smoothly. InshAllah it stays that way.
im going for my first scan in 2 days so will let u all know how it went.
Re: Pregnancy
i used to think that too when i found out i was pregnant and kept waiting for the nausea to kick in or being tired.. but i was full of energy.. and didnt believe i was pregnant until i went for my scanning 
im 17 weeks along and its been a very smooth sailing so far mashallah… limited nausea that used to hit at night and never in the morning.. but went away for after a week.. some back pain now but that comes and goes…
as for tiredness.. i was full of energy in the first trimester.. im tired now in my 2nd (ya, whatever bout honeymoon period or 2nd trimester being the best 
).
as for cravings.. still waiting for mine.. my diet is exactly what it used to be like pre pregnancy…
ure first scanning will be sooo exciting… first heart beat, first show of the baby.. i cried at mine
do tell us how it goes.
hey guys just wantd to add sumting my sis in law is pregnant for th 4th time yeh thing is, she onli realised cuz she missed her monthly ting....so she took a test and it was negative so she left it...then she missed her monthly ting again then she went to the doctors and she did a test it was negative......buh in the end she took a blood test thats how she found out other wise she had no clue wats so ever that she was pregnant......does this happen to most of the women.....she had no sickness wat so ever............has this happended to anyone else
Re: Pregnancy
hmmm. it sounds like pregnancy hormones do not show up in the urine tests but does show up in the blood test? If this is the case, she should go see her doc and have at least an ultrasound done, esp since it sounds like she's missed two cycles.
I am no doctor but I had 2 miscarriages where this happened. Its called "missed abortion", meaning that it was either a bad egg or sperm, it was fertilized and planted but not able to grow into a real fetus. It can remain in there for quite a while without intervention but will never grow into a baby.
The first time, I ended up having a D&C. The second time, I used a medicine (sorry I forget the name) that caused it to come out.
Of course, it could mean something else here. But she should really go for a scan and more tests to see why her pregnancy hormones are off. Best of luck to her.
Re: Pregnancy
awwwwwwwwww...congratsssssss....pregnancy is the most beautiful time in you life...so enjoy it fullyyyyyy....no stress...eat whatever you crave for...Good Luck!!!!!

Re: Pregnancy
i feel really normal. no symptoms at all. only thing taht worries me is my hair falls out. ive been given iron tablets but it hasnt stopped.
my bra size keeps gettin bigger, haah. i bought a new bra a cup size bigger, and its still tight and uncomfortable so think im gona have to buy a size and 2 cup sizes bigger. hahah. never thought the day would come.
Re: Pregnancy
I always enjoyed that particular aspect of pregnancy too lol :)
If it gets to be really uncomfortable, get one of those soft sports bras - no wires etc. It will hold everything in place comfortably. AND give some nice cleavage too!
Re: Pregnancy
Ruby, the bra size will keep getting bigger, i still see changes, blah! And i am told it will change even more.
Does anyone else feel huge at around 22 weeks? I feel like MaashaAllah my belly is bigger than it should be or something. Maybe ia m gaining weight too fast?
