Im 10 weeks 2 days pregnant....When will i feel the first movements? This is my third pregnancy and i cannot recall when i first felt my other two...I believe my first was somewhere around 18 weeks and my second around 16 weeks.
Is it normal to eat all the time lol, my cravings have been extreamly strong and the only thing i feel like doing is eating......Why and how do i control this so im not over gaining?
And what exactly are prenatals and iron for? What is the purpose of these....?
My first two babies i had morning sickness with and they were boys, this one i havent really had any...Think its a girl???? But i hear you have more morning sickness with girls.....Did anyone have next to none and still have a girl? Of course a healthy baby is what i want....So no need to be rude :) Thanks everyone!!!

Ok, I felt mine at 18 weeks and I had a girl and had HORRIBLE morning sickness!!! It lasted like 5-6 months I lost like 15 lbs. I was in and out of hospital for it. I also have a friend that had a girl and no sickness at all. So who knows!! I felt soooo hungry like at 20 weeks on and I would get horrible hunger pains if I did not eat. But the bad thing was if I ate I would throw up most of the time !! But, Just if you eat go for low fat and not sugary things. I think it is fine to eat meats and stuff ( I did) I gained like 28 lbs. and lost it all after 2 months! I ate the crap out of EVERYTHING when I was over the morning sickness!! The iron will help the baby and you and help you not to be anemic! I would just drink lots of milk or things with calcium and take the vitamin and you will be fine!!

I felt my third baby moving earlier than the second, who was earlier than the first. 4 months, maybe a little earlier.
Eating all the time is common. just make sure you're eating healthy things (I snacked on baby carrots through all three, I'm surprised I didn't turn into a rabbit lol).
Prenatal vitamins and iron are to make sure you stay healthy. The baby will take what it needs from your body, but it may leave you deficient if your diet isn't what it should be. And they can't hurt. Just be sure to take them with food, whenever I didn't they made me throw up.
I didn't have morning sickness with any of mine and they were all boys. That doesn't really tell you the baby's sex, its just every baby and every pregnancy is different.
Good luck and congrats :)

I dont quite remember when i felt the first movements, but to answer your ? about morning sickness: This is my fourth pregnancy, two of each, and i never once had morning sickness with either gender. I mean never. Every pregnancy is different. If you had MS with your first two, you possibly will have it with this one, but maybe later, or you might not have it at all.
The vitamine and iron issue:
The vitamins and iron are more-so for you. Your baby is continuously feeding off of your supply and your dr. wants to make sure you have plenty that way youre not drained, etc.
I hope that helps and Good Luck!

Usually babies kick around the fourth to fifth month. Your cravings are normal. The prenatals are for added nutrition and the iron will help prevent anemia. A good book I swore by was" What to expect while you are expecting." It tells you what happens month by month. I have four kids three girls One boy. All babies are different...Good Luck.
