GIVE ME CHEESE NOW

I've posted before, I'm 7 weeks pregnant, lots of spotting and tummy cramps sometimes, been taking it easy - got another scan tomorrow so who knows what the outcome will be but.....

I feel sick ALL day. Not terribly terribly sick but like hangover sick, all day. I want to eat all the time. I've put on 3lbs already, and already have a bump.

I didn't with my other LO, I started showing at 5 months with her and was tiny when I got preggers with her.

I was pretty slim when I found out about this one, and I've already put on 3lbs. I just want to eat. And please let it be cheese.

Or savory.

But that must be a good sign, right? All this spotting and yet all these other symptoms?

I've just had an apple and thats NOT enough

I have had major cheese cravings all the way through too...but I figure not a bad thing as it has lots of protein and calcium. I am full term today and have put on 3 stone...it's mostly baby bump though, still in size 10 maternity clothes, so not too worried.

I had a bump at 7 weeks too! Fingers crossed for your scan, hope it all goes well.

I used to get home from work, head straight to the fridge and have halved pickled onions with pieces of cheese on top. YUM.

I also once ate three hard boiled eggs in one go, standing at the fridge door.

I had cheese cravings at about the same stage - I think it's when the bones are forming so your body wants more calcium or something. Didn't last long and then I was craving other things. Right now (nearly 17 weeks) I mostly want fruit.

I'm now 33 weeks and could eat raw carrots by the handful. I had three with my lunch salad today.

Still love cheese though.

Oh the cheese cravings...

When I was about 5 months I could NOT stop eating cheese. I nearly kicked my husband once when he ate one of my Babybels...

I knew it was bad when I nipped into Tesco for something for tea and came out with a cheese sandwich, tub of dairylea and a pack of a dozen babybel.

i can't believe how much I was dreaming of macaroni cheese - I'm loving all the cheese stories by the way!

I've just learnt though that Ribena ice lollies don't go down well

Constant sickness unless you eat? Craziness I say.

Hope all your bumps are okay, am nervous about scan tomorrow xxx

Three hard boiled eggs in one go is impressive!

Yay not just me with the cheese obsession. Think I might be one of the worst offenders. Cheese on toast for breakfast. 2 sets of cheese sandwiches (had to switch to brown bread as eat so much) one for mid morning and one for lunch. In the evening I either want pasta with a cheese source or fish with a cheese source. My poor DH has to make a cheese source with every meal as I wont eat a meal without it It also makes veg taste very yummy

Cheese- tick
Also done oranges in 2 pregs and chillies in 2.

Gooseberries is the buggy this time

worrywarts all your signs sound fine. I had spotting and pain and went for early scans 4 times (!!) and was very worried but so far (wk 18) no real problem. It is a common knowledge that with the second kid you put on faster and show earlier so no worries there too. And I do crave and love cheese too. I put on 5 pounds till now but 4 pounds of it till wk 10 as I was eating cheesy food and snacks like crazy...
