Thank you Vasumathy and Mounika. I have been a lurker at IL forever. There are lot of pregnancy forums out there, but this site has a home feel to it.

still no new moms to be??

varchana · Dec 11, 2015

My first prenatal appt is on the 16th.

I just started week 6. After an initial 2-3 days of nausea and lightheadedness, I have remained relatively symptom free. But now bracing myself for morning sickness.

I just realized 2 cups of milk, 2 bananas, 2 apples and 1 cup of vegetables are over 700 calories. So the extra fruits and milk are not supplement, they constitute a meal.

It still hasn't sunk in for either of us that we are going to be parents. We haven't shared the news with our respective families. We decided to wait for at least 10 weeks ultrasound. But I so want to tell my parents.

Right now having back pain every now and then and mild nausea. Is the back pain common in an early pregnancy ?

varchana · Dec 15, 2015

Congratulations Kalki!
This is my first pregnancy, I have been using research websites for definitive information on pregnancy my husband thinks I am going crazy. Diet wise, I am not restricting anything, I have switched breakfast to a cup of milk and 2 fruits. And I have another cup of milk and 2 fruits before light work out/ evening snack. And I add a cup of fresh veggie like carrots or broccoli for lunch. So 5 servings.

Green,
I am sorry about the MC. must have been hard. Did your obs/gyn figure out why? But then you don't always know why. I had my first prenatal visit today and my nurse practitioner told me " spotting without cramps that stop, cramps without spotting that stop " are not alarming. I had back pain and cramps 1 week ago, it has improved now. Congratulations on your pregnancy, good luck.

Thanks Varchana. Reasons for MC are difficult to trace. As it was my first one, doctor said i shouldn't really bother much about it as 1 in every 4 pregnancies end that way.
Anyway i'm positive this time Eagerly waiting for my first prenatal appointment with my obgyn.

Is it ok to walk on threadmill during 1st trimester ?
