If you get nausea I would recommend the anti sickness travel bands, they won't cure it altogether but should help reduce it.
Good luck.
I don't know how you can stand to wait til the end of the week tho! Will it be your 1st?

I know i think i will struggle to last the day tomorrow! yes it will be (finger crossed) be my first!!!

Craved tomatoes, used to take a bag with me to the pictures. I also had an excess of saliva and had to keep swallowing. Went to bed for 4 days every month because I saw a period for the first 5 months. Had abet on with my GP that I was pregnant and he wouldnt believe me. That was 1958, so no test were available to the home user. Jean

this is making me broody lol

I had a metal taste too in my mouth like I had been sucking a 5p piece.
Also couldn't lie on my front watching TV on the rug.
Craved juicy dark things !!!!!! Plums, black grapes and vimto !
And with the third one, the sister on the ward I worked on told me I was pregnant 11 days before I was due to start, when I lost half my vision (all on the left side was dark grey).

Hope all goes well for you.

this will sound really odd (well thats me all over) with Tiddler even though I wasnt planning on getting pregnant the night she was conceived I had what I can only explain as a pop just after a certain event didnt have it with the other 2 and never had it again.

No wonder she is so weird lol

one mad crave for a curry,, then no more,

sickeness for at least 8 months ,all day everyday was very ill with it..........,,,heartburn,,,,,,,,,

Good Luck Gems,,,,hope it all goes well,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Unfortunately I have never been blessed - but my sister has had two children.

The most bizaare craving she had (well I thought) was raw pototoes - she could not get enough of them with her second one. The first one was icelollies.

I was told my mother craved tomatoes.

I wish you all the very best and you must keep us all informed of your progress.

I cried at adverts when pregnant, was pregnant with 2nd when titanic was out and didn't dare watch it.

Hello Gems, first of all congratulations and hope it all goes as smoothly as possible for you.....all pregnancies are different and I have watched my Daughter and two Daughters in Law recently go through their pregnancies.....

My Daughter and one DiL had all the morning sickness, bloating......and my other DiL did not have any symptoms at all, and at the final stage only looked about 6 months.....

.....me, I did not know because I thought we couldn't have any children and had two lovely adopted children who we loved to bits, and were quite content with out little family.......but I started to get bad backache and was popping paracetemol, so I went to the docs who said to do a pregnancy test.....and the result was 30 years old yesterday.....lol

....before I got the result of the test I felt very faint, and nearly fainted a couple of times, and of course te bad backache......pregnancy easy and I worked at night until 7 1/2 months, over Christmas and then a textbook birth taking all of 6 hours......

.....as I say they are all different and enjoy your time.....x

ps.......I craved really boring things......firstly cabbage with butter and pepper......then hated it...

.....then oranges, the really big ones......at the end it was lager and lime.....

I went down the pub to escape all this ladies

I didn't crave food much apart from my 5th, and it was salt. I would go through about 4 packets of mini cheesey cheddars covered in salt a day. But with all my pregnancies it was smells I craved, boot polish windolene, paint, petrol, normally couldn't stand the smell of them and as soon as the baby was born the craving went away, thank god,lol.

start taking folic acid tablets if you aren't already. If you are planning to get pregnant you should take them before conception, and up to 12 weeks once you are pregnant.

When I got back from the pub was asked where the curry was 3rd son

I realised I might be preganat when I went walking around the shops without a coat. It was a cold December but I was HOT!
