15 weeks, some pregnancy questions?

Question

First time mommy, have some questions, thanks for your answers!

I've been takign prenatals but I cannot keep them down, what should I do?

I'm trying to eat healthy but I'm craving burgers like crazy! Any one else have this?

I'm suppose to go for an ultrasound 15 - 20 weeks, I want to find out the gender, should I go now or wait a month or so?

Answer 1

Try taking your prenatals at night right before going to bed. Cut them in half and take half at a time. I think they might have chewables now.

If you are craving a burger, eat one, just don't go crazy and eat burgers constantly.

I am scheduled for an ultra sound at 17 weeks. My doctor scheduled it. The lady in x-ray said my doctor scheduled it a little too soon. I would wait till 20 weeks just to be sure.

Answer 2

Tell your OB that your prenatal vitamins make you nauseous and they will recommend a different type. Eating a burger every once in a while while not hurt the baby, you just don't want to go over board and gain unnecessary weight because it can lead to problems. I've read that your baby's gender can be determined starting at 18 weeks, so if you go anytime after you should be able to tell. Good Luck!


going on 20 weeks

Answer 3

Make sure you eat when you take the prenatals, that will help with the nausea.

An occasional burger is ok. Best to make them at home instead of fast food, but once a week is ok. I craved Burger King Whoppers when I was pregnant.

If you can wait until 20 weeks you'll probably be able to tell the sex then.

Good luck with the pregnancy.

Answer 4

well I can answer one of them. I got my ultrasound done at 20-21 weeks and the lady could only say she was 90-95% sure it was a girl. She couldnt be certain. My baby wasnt exactly being cooperative either but you could still see her genitals. I think it was just so early that she didt want to say she was positive because there was that possibility she could have been wrong. You may go in there and be able to see it perfect or not. Its like borderline time lol. But I couldnt wait so go for it if you want. Good Luck and congrats!

Answer 5

I'm 15 weeks and 3 days with my first also. With my vitamins I take them in the evenings. The doctor told me that if you've had food on your stomach all day that helps. I haven't got sick from them at all. They do my next ultrasound at 18-20 weeks at my doctor. I can't wait to find out what I am having. I would say to wait a little bit longer but I have heard of people finding out early. Best of Luck to you!!

Answer 6

im 15 weeks 2 days, talk to your doctor about not being able to keep them down my friend had the same problem so she was allowed to just take two Flintstones vitamins.

it IS ok to give into your cravings,your body craves what it needs, i've already spoken to my obgyn about this.

last time i had an ultrasound, the u/s tech told me she can tell the sex between 16-20 weeks. but most people i know get theirs at 18 weeks

Answer 7

1st Q: talk to ur doc about that may can give you something for nausea, or if the pill is gagging you ( for they r like horse pills) try breaking it in half and taking it like that.
2nd Q: Your cravings r gonna win !!!!!!Just try to limit the fatty foods. My second child all I wanted was twix candy bars and blue rasberry slushies.
3rd Q: Go to the doc. as you are appointed. Keep each one of ur appointments sa they can keep check on the baby. And the gender of the baby could changes as late as the 8 mon. Both my boy were surpose to be girls. The last one I thought was a girl till he was born. Had to take that pretty pink dress back.lol

Answer 8

-keep taking your prenatals and talk to dr about tossing them up. maybe he/she can prescribe no iron ones. drink ginger ale and eat saltines...that helps with the nausea. try ginger snaps too and hard candies.

-go with your cravings. i drank chocolate milk almost everyday for MONTHS! in fact, the thought of a hamburger made me ill....go figure. just go with your cravings! it's nice to indulge sometimes.

-go around 20 wks. you can find out the gender by that time.

take care and congrats:)

Answer 9

some people that have trouble swallowing pills in general disolve them in juice and drink it.

girl eat what you crave is normal. who wants to eat a salad all of the time when their preggers??? eat what you want (with moderation of course) and be happy.

you could find out the sex of the baby ... most people do around that time.

Answer 10

It appears like around ligament discomfort. i'm pregnant with my third and its been genuinely terrible this time, its actual worse throughout a growth spurt. My asked my ob and he reported its worse time because of the fact of ways close this infant and my final infant are. She grew to become into in basic terms 10 months old when I found out i grew to become into pregnant.
