I don't think it is a craving as such, but I am eating more toast, I had virtually given up bread and toast as it made me feel bloated and yuk (I have an unknown allergy, current thinking is coeliac disease) Now I'm eating bread daily or even twice a day, but don't feel as bad as I used to with it.

Kota about the steak, is med/rare still hot in the middle? If so then surely all the bugs cooked and killed. If you're cooking at home, maybe buy a food temp probe, so you can stop cooking it once it reaches 75c.

So far barely any sickness now I've cut out the liquid caffeine (it appears fine from the chocolate )

As I've done too much the last few days, and before I worrying myself sick, I've booked a private scan for 9weeks I'm so excited about seeing a bit more this time and I'm going to ask my Mum if she wants to come.

Hi Tigger

Hope all going ok - Im just hungry all the time, although when I do eat - just makes me feel queesy lol I stopped drinking caffeine a while ago.... but still have the odd pieces of chocolate (Although don't fancy them either atm!)..

I saw in your signature something about a 52 mile bike ride? are you doing that? I've been trying to read up about what exercise is safe during pregnancy - especialy abs work... any suggestions?

Hope everyones having a great day,

hi there, this is my first time too and I am due in January. Is it ok if I join?

Hi Beanz, welcome along!!

Tiggercats - No it wasn't that it wasn't warm, but if there is still blood juices then surely that can't be good? and thats how i liked it!! I'm the same with the bread, have been trying to limit my wheat intake for the last couple of months as, same thing, very bloated and icky tummy, now though I can't get enough... carbs!!!

ooops I forgot that I joined this thread - there are just tooo many places to be on this site my preggy brain can't cope

After a week of having an upset stomach and feeling sick I am feeling a little more normal today (or maybe I have grown an alergy to work ha ha ) The preggy brain has soooooo kicked in and the girls at work are going to have a hard time until I leave I couldn't find my pen - which was like in front of me, I franked a letter without putting the address on

I am indeed doing 52miles around London 19th July which will make me 15weeks PG. Any exercise you are currently doing is generally OK to continue (but do check with Dr/midwife to be sure) If you want to start anything new, then consult Dr first.

From NHS pregnancy guide http://www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/Category.aspx?CategoryID=54

If you're enjoying a normal, healthy pregnancy, it's a good idea to carry on doing some exercise, providing that you're not undertaking a strenuous new regime. However, you should check with your GP, or midwife, that exercising won't pose a risk for your specific medical situation.

Cycling is a good activity to do while pregnant, but it isn't usually recommended after the second trimester of pregnancy (after 26 weeks) due to the risk of falls. However, you can use an exercise bike for as long as you like.

Avoid dangerous and strenuous activities
There are certain activities that aren't recommended for pregnant women. For example, you should avoid activities that involve high altitudes, such as mountaineering, or hot air ballooning, because the change in oxygen levels may trigger premature labour.

You should also avoid activities where there is a risk of hard falls, or where you might be thrown off balance, such as horse riding, gymnastics, or water skiing. Strenuous activities, or those that involve a decrease in your oxygen levels, such as hiking, scuba diving, or alpine skiing, are also best avoided while pregnant.

Extreme sports, such as hang-gliding, skydiving, and bungee jumping should also be avoided because they may pose a health risk to you and your baby.

Fairground rides, such as rollercoasters, can be dangerous if you're pregnant because the rapid stops and starts may cause damage to your womb (uterus). Most rides at theme parks and funfairs have signs that advise pregnant women not to go on them.




I'm sure i've seen better info somewhere, but can't find it at the moment.

Hi Beanz

This is becoming quite a busy thread, lots of first timers due in Jan

I've just got my chocolate tasting box from Hotel Chocolat today, so it will probably form a large part of my diet for the rest of the day

everyone

Normally I think I'd be drooling at the idea of a Hotel Chocolat tasting box but I'm so turned off chocolate at the moment its unreal!
Enjoy it though, and make sure you eat it while sitting on the couch with your feet up!
