Twin Pregnancy Vlog Weeks 13 + 14: Symptoms, Ultrasound, Vitamins | Kendra Atkins
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Hey guys! Today I am sharing with you my weeks 13 and 14 of my pregnancy with twins. These weeks have been pretty much the same, with an increase in my nausea in the evenings. I am able to eat more during the day which is great. Other than that, I've just been having headaches every day. I started taking Diclegis to help with throwing up. It hasn't taken away all my sickness, but at least I can keep down food. As of now I'm just taking it once a day if I really must. I hope this video helps you all out!

I have been watching these vlogs like crazy comparing my symptoms and trying to figure out if I'm having twins too. Well finally had my ultrasound today at 13 weeks. And confirmed that I am having twins! I always knew it. 😂😂😂
I’ve been following her since this pregnancy and now I’m coming back because i think I’m having twins too 😬
Curious, if you see this, what were your symptoms?
123Bria321 did you find out ? I’m having twins also
123Bria321 was it twins?!? :)
@@123Bria321 I had super early symptoms. I literally just knew immediately that I was pregnant....I actually just gave birth to my 2nd set of twins. This time symptoms were different. More emotional than before. Lots more crying throughout.
Love your pregnancy updates! Concerning your dog, one great piece of advice we got with our first baby was to have your husband bring something home from the hospital (while you & babies are still there) that smells like them - a hospital swaddling blanket or a piece of clothing they wore - and let your dog smell it so she can get "acquainted" with their scent before they come home. It seemed to help our dog (a shih tzu), he did fine with the transition :)
does anyone else see Olivia Wilde!?
Yes!!!
Congratulation! I'm pregnant with identical twins too (mono di) and my husband and I found out they are girls!!! We are so excited about them. We had several ultrasounds between 18-22 weeks to watch for twin to twin transfusion syndrome which is what you talked about earlier in the video. We've prayed and put it all in Gods hand and have nothing but great reports on our girls!! The best of wish to you during your pregnancy. You look great!!!! 😊😊👍🏼👍🏼
When I was pregnant I threw up literally all day everyday from the second I opened my eyes until I fell asleep at night. They gave me that medicine and I ended up losing my baby at 14 weeks 😢 I'm sure the two weren't related but next time I get pregnant with my rainbow baby I will not be taking anything. Congrats on your babies!
Taking your prenatals with a full stomach will help you not get nausea. You are doing great and you know what is best for you and your babies
I love watching your videos. My twin boys are 5 months old. While watching your videos I am getting to remember all of the different stages of my pregnancy. I too suffered from nausea. I was sick until the very last minute. I actually threw up on the delivery table. My boys are happy and healthy babies and totally worth all that I went through to get them here. Congratulations on your twins!!
Kendra, only you know whats right for you and your baby. Doctors are there to help but sometimes I feel like they push too much medicine. I threw up three times a day every day for 9 months with both boys, and they where constantly pushing medicine on me.
Ya definitely!
Thank goodness I've found you. I am 13 weeks preg with identical twins and there isn't a great deal of "intimate" information out there! So you have been fantastic!!!
Once more congrats on your pregnancy. It will get better. Pretty excited to find out what you are having. I am 37 weeks today, so mine isn't too far away. Being pregnant has its ups and down. Enjoy it!
I’m having my first set of twins, after two miscarriages ! I’m so excited and happy and in love with My babies. I’m having them on Christmas. If not sooner
I enjoy these videos so much! I hope when 16 weeks hits your nausea goes down! Praying for you and those little babes! 💙💙
Just found out two days ago that I'm pregnant with twins and I'm absolutely binge-watching all your vlogs so thank you so much for these! I've learnt so much already from you xx
Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! I'm 29 weeks pregnant today with twin girls!!! Mine are fraternal though. I hope your new doctor is better. I absolutely love my doctor, and it definitely makes things a lot easier when you feel you have a doc you can talk to and trust. I went to a class a couple of weeks.ago, and they suggested something for people with dogs. After you have your baby have someone go to your home with something that has your babies scent on it. That way by the time you get home hopefully the dog will recognize their smell. I hope that helps. Great video by the way :-)
Omg!! Congratulations! 🎉 I did not know you are pregnant with twins. I am currently 33 weeks with mono/di boys.
I am so happy for you! Congrats!!!
Bu the way, I also had very bad morning sickness until I was 18 weeks pregnant (nausea all day and throwing up almost everyday, sometimes twice a day😖) . My doctor told me that is very common in twins pregnancies. He also prescribed me a medicine for that but I never took it. I just kept trying to eat small frequent meals even though I would vomit later😣. And yes!!! Bad headaches 🤕ugh! I will just put ice on my head and sleep. Hang in there, hopefully it will get better in your second trimester🙂
I had morning (all day) sickness for the first 5 months that I was pregnant. It was terrible!! I lost almost 30 pounds. I couldn't keep anything down, I even threw up water a couple times. So I definitely know how you feel! It does get better though, and you completely forget about it once the baby comes. Just hang in there, you got this momma! ❤️
I subscribed because I'm in the exact same situation as you! This is my first pregnancy, and with twins to boot. I am between 13 and 14 weeks about to head in for my dating ultrasound. This was relieving to watch and gave me some good insight on questions to ask. I'm really looking forward to watching your videos. Thank you!
congrats on the pregnancy! I'm on baby number three...my third boy!😊💙 looking forward to watching your pregnancy journey!! ❤
congrats im on my third girl LOL
+andrealjackson I have three babies-it's a crowd! LOL
Kendra, thank you for sharing! I love hearing about your pregnancy and sharing your journey! It is such a privilege I feel, that you want us to be in the loop! There is nothing worse than a doctor who isn't personable and compassionate. Some have this disconnect, that is extremely off putting, especially when you want to b proactive in your healthcare yet they who supposedly have this wealth of knowledge do not take the lead and share all they can! 🙄. Hopefully, the doctor you have chosen is MUCH better! So happy for you Andrew! Sending you love, positivity and prayers! Hang in there, it will all b so worth it when you r holding them in your arms! 👼👼👶🏽👶🏽
It's fun to look back at these and compare to now. Kyla is so very sweet with them!
I had a gut feeling with both of my pregnancies that I was having boys. I was right both times. best wishes on your pregnancy and I hope you feel better soon, completely sympathize with you!
This is so amazing to go back to watch especially when I now know you had girls. I’m 13 weeks this week with only 1 baby but I love not feeling alone in the process.
I understand being sick, I'm also taking that but have thrown up so many times and continue to do so and also have serve reflux and GERD so I know have painful Esphagitis and cant swallow solid food. I'm 13 weeks and half and on a liquid diet! And have been on one for a month. So I get the being nervous about nutrition thing as well. I get stressed everyday that I can't swallow food. Your pregnancy updates helps me feel better! I drink alot of ensure and boost with double the calories and I believe that's whats keeping my baby healthy. So if you ever can eat something you could supplement with those.
Love watching your pregnancy updates! I'm 36 weeks with a singleton right now and can't get enough of talking about babies, lol! So sorry you had a jerk Dr. But at least you know it was just for that one appointment. Can't wait to hear about your next appt with the Dr your friend recommended for you. That's such an important part of your pregnancy journey to have someone that you feel comfortable and trusting with. I used doctors with my first and going with a midwife this time. I was never aware that a twin pregnancy got automatically categorized as high risk, especially since you are obviously a very healthy, active person! Hormones can do crazy things to your body, just remember that it doesn't mean you are sick😊 It's just your body doing what women's bodies are created to do. You are already a great mommy using your mother's instinct to know what's best for your body and therefore your babies (Mountain Dew?!) I do hope you start feeling better though😊
That doctor you saw is exactly the reason I got a new doctor. My doctor before told me I was not pregnant, but I should take prenatals anyways, and that if I didn't get my period back in 3 months to take a prescription she gave me to make my body have a period. She kept throwing it in my face that I wasn't pregnant and then would say, "well, do you wanna get pregnant?"
So I switched doctors and I found out I am in fact pregnant, and even after 5 urine tests came out negative my blood test was 100% positive.
It makes me sick to my stomach to think that if I didn't go to get a second opinion, and I ended up listening to my old doctor, I could have aborted my fetus without even knowing it 😡
I was looking for twin pregnancy vlog and came across your video. I'm having twins too. Congrats on your twins! I look forward to watching more of your pregnancy vlogs.
I just started watching your videos and now I'm binge watching them. I know your honesty and your views on trusting God through all of this!! Praying for your pregnancy and health of both you and your little babies
I'm not pregnant and not planning to be and I STILL loveeeedddd this update. Lol. Anyways, keep making more updates. It's interesting to us about what happens throughout the pregnancy. And the way you spoke about things was very captivating 😊
I love watching your pregnancy vlogs, because we also just found out we're having twins. Congrats on your baby girls!
I was the exact same. I was positive I was having a boy. My older sister has one boy and 3 girls and my symptoms where just like hers when she was pregnant with her son. We had boy names picked out, I had the nursery pretty much planned out. Then we found out we are having a girl. My husband even asked the ultrasound tech to double check. We were both so certain it was going to be a boy. Being that in the last 3 years there's been 5 babies born within the family, and all being girls, I am getting a ton of hand me downs so for this being our first child its nice to not feel financially stressed with the cost of all the items. I really only have to buy a stroller and car seat everything else was passed down to me. I can't wait for the gender reveal video!
Have you tried those nausea bracelets? Not sure if that's what they're called but they use pressure points on your wrists to help get rid of nausea. One of my teachers in high school used them when she was pregnant and she said they worked wonders for her. They're not pretty but it's better than throwing up!
Sea Bands!
So excited to see it was a baby update today! Loved watching this. That doctor story was nuts. Trust yourself and do what feels good. And that's defiantly not a mountain dew...geez. Seems like you're really settling into the reality of 2! Looking forward to the gender reveal :)
Lol I laughed so hard about your visit to the crazy lady Doctor. I'm happy you're getting a new doc(: congrats on the twins. I can't wait to keep following your journey. You're so much fun to watch!!!
From what I've heard and my midwives have told me, you have to start taking Diclegis (Diclectin here in Canada) right away when your nausea and vomiting starts (like 6 weeks) otherwise it doesn't really work. I started taking it the week my nausea and vomiting started (6 weeks for me) and it made a world of difference. I would still throw up occasionally and feel somewhat nauseous, but it honestly made me feel somewhat normal so that I could get through my day. I'm 16 weeks now. I tried weaning off it around 13/14 weeks and have gotten myself to taking 1/2 of what I was taking when the nausea/vomiting was the worse. I'm going to try and wean myself off completely this week.
The main thing my dietician said to do was to separate fluids from solids and eat small meals frequently. I started my pregnancy at 140, lost 10 lbs at first because I was so sick. At 9 months I was 160. Right after I delivered I was 130. My doctor told me that the baby takes what they need first and you get the leftovers so even if you are feeling terrible your babies can be perfectly fine. Good luck!!
I took Raw prenatals & had AWFUL morning sickness & my nurse suggested not taking my night pre-natal (mine were 3x day) and that helped. I also took an over the counter version of the unisom without the sleep part & that helped my naseau. Also, change OBGYN's if you don't feel comfortable with her...it makes a difference having one you trust & like :)
Thanks for sharing, love these 👶👶 updates. Glad you decided to switch doctors she sounds dreadful. And sadly there are many like that, my Ob was pretty much the same super cold and dismissive. I also got VERY SICK with my pregnancy vommiting and sick up until my 7th month with ONE BABY, I can't imagine 2! Got prescribed prenatals and anti nausea pills and couldn't even keep those down. But now I have a happy healthy 3 yr old :) just trust your mommy instincts and stay hydrated. Be well! 💕
I absolutely love your pregnancy updates. I'm actually pregnant with my first as well, I'm 13 weeks and 3 days and I can completely relate to the majority of experiences you mentioned. My nausea is SO bad and I have started throwing up as well. I also haven't gained any weight (I've lost 7 lbs 😖) which concerns me. I mentioned my nausea to my doctor and although she did mention prescribing medication, I immediately told her I would like to try the most natural approach first; so she started me on vitamin b6. Unfortunately, the b6 isn't really making much of a difference, so I'm not really taking it anymore but I needed something to help with the nausea because I'm just miserable all day. Fortunately, my friend mentioned Sea Bands and they have been a godsend! I feel so much better and more importantly I'm able to keep food down. CVS and Walmart have them for about $12 and they make one specifically for expectant mothers. Hope you feel better soon. 💗
aww, good luck with the baby! I'm due any second now and I remember my first trimester was the worst. thank god my sickness went away at 16 weeks. but when you're full term it feels like the first trimester all over again! I wish you the best of luck ♡
I'm 34 and a half weeks pregnant with a singleton and my friend had twins in February. Morning sickness varies so much. Mine lasted until 18 weeks and I didn't take anything at all. I always threw up when I woke up and when I brushed my teeth especially at night. What helped with my throwing up when I brushed my teeth was getting a natural toothpaste and using a non electric toothbrush. Toothpastes that aren't natural foam up too much and that's what would make me gag, also with a handheld toothbrush you can control the movement. I'm in Canada too and I think I use the Beaver brand. My friends throwing up lasted all pregnancy unfortunately maybe because of twins.
For headaches we were both told Tylenol and caffeine. I also was put off by coffee but I'm okay with it now in third trimester. I had a cup of English breakfast tea with milk instead daily. A lot of OBGYNs are very busy and don't always have the best bedside manners but always go in w/ a list of questions. Good luck !
I'm so happy to see these more often!!!
Twins!!!!!' Omg Kendra yayyyyyyy. Have a safe pregnancy
Your measuring ahead! Yay! Great job, mamma!!Your hair looks great! Look at how quickly it's growing too :)!
I am in love with Orgain Organic Protein 25g single servings, I puchased a case at wholefoods. Only 1g of sugar because they are sweetened with stevia. I love the chocolate and haven't tried the vanilla.
ps: I'm currently 34 weeks and 5 days with twins!
I love watching these so much! You seem like you're going to be the best mum ever 😍
I take the Garden of Life Once Daily Prenatal vitamins from Vitacost and I love them! 3 a day would be very hard for me!
Congrats! I just watched an episode of the Dog Whisperer about introducing the pup to the babies! I remember something about keeping the dog out of the nursery, and placing worn baby clothes around the house so the dog gets used to the smell.... But you should check it out!
I know you're having twins but don't worry too much about weight gain. Sure, they tell you to gain at least xx amount of weight for a pregnancy, twins or not. I'm a firm believer in that your body will gain what it needs to. I've had three babies and gained 17, 6, and 10 pounds each. After losing 15-20 per pregnancy. My midwives were very pleased with my weight gain each time and kept telling me that my body knows what it needs and what it is doing. I was sick until 20 weeks each time and after that I just ate whatever I wanted and whatever I could. I refused all meds as well. I just really really trusted my body. It was meant to do this and it will all be okay(:
One tip, you should spread your prenatal apart so your body absorbs it more slowly. I believe they are suppose to be taken one with each meal. I take new chapter prenatals 3x per day-one with each meal. Best of luck to you, and go with your gut on your OB choices, good for you!
Try essential oils for the nausea. My mom has a book for what essential oils to use for what and they have a whole bunch for pregnancy symptoms!
Gosh we are both due right around the same time with mono/di identical twins! I think you're having girls, based on your sickness. I was sick every day, and they are little girls. I, too, those get they were boys. Good luck Kendra!
Love watching these updates, Kendra! You're going to be a great mom. I'm so happy for you guys. Enjoy this time in your life as much as you can (even though it's really hard when feeling sick all the time). P.S. - I think they're boys! :)
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Have you given any thought to cloth diapering when you have them? I'm new to your channel as I'm making my way into switching to more natural products. Cloth diapers have come a long way! :)
And I'm sure you've heard it already but don't put up with that crazy doctor! That sounded aweful...why on earth she'd recommend drinking Mountain Dew is beyond me...
I'm not pregnant, but I have pretty bad headaches usually. I'm not sure if this would be something that would make you sick, but I find that anything peppermint usually helps ease them. I drink peppermint tea pretty often and it helps for the most part
I love your videos! I've been watching pregnancy videos like crazy since I got pregnant! I'm almost fifteen weeks right now and my due date is January 16 so I thought it was awesome to find someone who is so close to my due date! I'm not having twins but everything else you have talked about is almost identical to my symptoms and experiences aside from the nausea I've been very blessed to have only a bit of nausea. When do you find out your gender? I read most people find out at 20 weeks? But sounds to me like you will find out sooner!? That makes me so jealous! Lol I haven't gained any weight yet so I hope at my next app on aug 1st I will have gained a few pounds. Can't wait till your next video!
So excited for you and Andrew!!!!
My sister gets really bad headaches and uses Mountain Dew all the time. She doesn't drink the whole bottle at once, but it definitely helps her, even when she was pregnant.
I'm due with my first in January! And I'm 15 weeks this week. I have 5 more weeks until I get my anatomy ultrasound. I really am too excited to see my baby. Since I haven't been able to feel it yet, it's so tough!
they make a prenatal called b-nexa that has ginger in it to help with nausea. I had horrible nausea and threw up at breakfast every day for months. I switched to the b-nexa and only had mild nausea with the occasional throw up spell.
Yay these videos are my fav! I definitely think you should do them every other week, and maybe once a week once you get closer to the due date. Also, have you and Andrew been thinking about names?? :)
Ya we have a few picked out!
+Kendra Atkins
good !so proud that you didn't take the medication for throwing up. I hate seeing those scary commercials years later about birth defects and medicine.
This was fun to watch, thanks for sharing and congratulations!!
Hi Kendra! I stumbled across your videos and are enjoying them! Just started following you. Can you provide a link with the prenatal vitamins your were taking?
That is so funny that the doctor asked why would you want to exercise LOL maybe she has no concept of how good mentally exercise and movement are four people :-) I loved the update and all of the things that you have purchased. The little rattle and stuffed toy were so cute
so glad you switched OB's!!!
For mommas dealing with morning sickness, if you can find a naturopath or homeopath they can recommend a homeopathic remedy based on your exact symptoms. I'm in the first trimester of my 4th pregnancy and the homeopathic worked extremely well for my nausea and vomitting.
Try B6 vitamins I heard its good for nausea. I'm 8 weeks now and I take the mega food prenatal they have been really good and do not make me sick and it's only 2 a day! Can't wait for you gender reveal!
I'm sooooo excited for youuuu!!!!! You look amazing!!!
XOXOOXOX
My doc is a twin specialist and she put me on an acid reducer bc I was getting sick every night at 4 or 5. Worked like a charm. When I went to bed it used to be the worst. Just like you said.
haha! I just recommended those prenatals on your previous video..oops, should have watched ahead. Glad you found something that helps!
Do a what I eat in a day video, am very curious now more than ever that you are preggers to see them
I remember feeling so sick too (I have 3 kids) and I tried gummies but realized there wasn't iron. I ended up just using the Target Brand and taking them right before bed so I was sleeping when they would make me sick :( It's horrible feeling sick all the time - I am so sorry you are going through that. But you are right, it's a good sign and there is a lot to be thankful for. Once you are feeling better, you will actually forget how bad it was.
Such a cute preggo belly ❤️ My hypothesis is that the sicker you are it's the female hormones on top of moms female hormones- but then a friend was super sick and had a boy so I'm back to square one on that ;) Either way, you will have two gorgeous babies for sure!!
I'm going to have to check out those vitamins you mentioned! I'll be 17 weeks pregnant on Saturday and I've been looking for a good vitamin that has folate instead of folic acid due to a blood clotting disorder I have. Thank you for mentioning what you take.
Also, that doctor seems like a loon. Seriously, I would've walked out of that appointment if I was told to drink a mountain dew. 200 mg of caffeine a day is safe, but I haven't drank any coffee in about 3 months, mainly because I'm so hot all the time and coffee makes that worse. I get headaches if I don't drink enough water or eat every 2-3 hours.
I'm expecting twins in eight weeks and I was sure I was having two twin girls But oh I was so wrong LOL so you just never know. can't wait to find out what your having
Haha yes we will see!!
OH and my obgyn said Gatorade for headaches for electrolytes. Bagels will become your best friend since red meat put me off all of first trimester and a bit into second.
hi! I'm knew to ur channel.. congratulations on ur twins!! I have twin boys they are 4 and they are fraternal.
Continuing in prayer for you!!
For caffeine, what about tea? Totally different smell and taste than coffee. It might help. Maybe chai if you can stomach it (sometimes it has ginger in it). Nausea is one of the worst feelings ever. I hope you feel better soon. So excited for you and your family! That's so great your mom could go with you to the ultrasound. I'm sure she was so happy to be there and to get to see her grandbabies :-)
I have the same symptom of when I eat my stomach like super stretches and now I feel like pokes. I don't know if it is gas or the baby or babies moving.. # confused
the doctors put me on the same medicine, unison and vitemin b6 and I didn't take It because I was scared BUT my friends took it and it helped them over time, it's something that needs to build up in your system first. I'm like a hippy haha I love natural things and doing things organically. if I can make it I will do it.. so I found a replacement for that medicine, I used peppermint oil and I put it on a cotton ball and I would sniff It and it would help so much. I also made my own electrolyte drinks to help with my vomiting, It was water, coconut water, Himalayan salt, lemon juice and a little bit of pure orange juice and sugar it helped so much! I hope these tips help you because I totally feel you girl! I'm due any day now and it feels like I'm in the first trimester all over again!
Those prenatal a are awesome! I still take mine now that I'm nursing my baby.!👍🏼
Awww I loved this one 😍 when you showed the baby stuff I got so excited I'm the exact same just wanting to buy something until we find out gender 😄
Drink a Mountain Dew! Oh my gosh!! Haha I would definitely have the same reaction!
Also oral magnesium and b complex was recommend to my by my last doctor for my terrible headaches in my last pregnancy. Worked great!
I really enjoy these too!!
you are such a sweetheart, Im so excited for you guys! and you will love the bkankets you purchased fron vitacost there the perfect weight. I laughed out loud about that dr. you saw. lol so glad you switched. 😊
Those are the prenatal vitamins that I take and they're good but I'm having a hard time taking 3 caps. So I'm taking the emerald brand which is also a raw formula with iron, folate, probiotics and ginger and I only have to take one a day. I got it from vitacost 😋
love your pregnancy vlogs
I've delt with nausea through all 4 pregnancies and the feeling of being extremely full. so to help with that i only ate snacks all day. and my meal portions had to be cut down. and i would just get a second helping in an hour or 2. but maybe that will help you.
also i have 3 boys one girl. and during prgnancy with my boys i rarely would throw up but with my girl i threw up everyday of my pregnancy.
Boy am I late lol you've already had the babies. 😂 totally agree with the gummies thing, I thought it'd be easier to chew gummies than swallowing horse pills lol but I was wrong. I had to switch completely waste so much money! I also would like to ask if you could let me know what kind of health insurance did you have during pregnancy and did they cover everything? Thank you!
That Doctor sounds like she was really, really off. What about nutrition?
My jaw dropped at the frappuccino comment, then it fell to the floor with the mountain dew. That doctor needs to go. 😂
So so cute! I love these updates ☺️ the second you said they shared a placenta I was like yay identical twins! Haha. I actually think they are boys, too. There is something about that mothers intuition! 😉
Oh, and I say that with full experience...mom of 5 here! HA!
I had the same experience with not wanting gummies as soon as I got pregnant! Also, I took Diclegis during my first trimester, but I only took one at bedtime and that seemed to really help. Plus I didn't feel so tired because it was half the dose and only at bedtime anyways.
Sounds like a really terrible Dr too! What a bummer of an experience! Another great vitamin to look into is the Rainbow Light Prenatals. I've been loving lots of prenatal workouts here on UA-cam, you can really find some that are very gentle but at least get you moving which feels nice.
Ya I just took one yesterday and it seemed to be better!
I'm a couple days late. My boobs hurt, I've been feeling sick, I've been getting headaches and backaches and all I want to do is sleep. But I don't want to let myself think I could be pregnant, cause if/when I get my period I'll be really bummed.
I'm in love with those rattles, do you know the company? Thank you :)
I am on those Garden of life vitamins and really love them!!
This is crazy watching this, knowing you had two identical girls, but you felt like they were boys! Goes to show you just never know. I’m pregnant with twins. Found out through blood work we are definitely having at least one boy. My gut says it’s two boys, but some days I feel it’s a boy and a girl.
I'll be okay. Follow your instincts - doctors love medicine (obviously) but you know what your body needs. Coming from one with four kids, you'll be totally fine. Try not to worry too much (haha, right?). :)
I Lost 18pounds with my first pregnancy cause I was so sick! I used the unisom and b6 my whole pregnancy with my first daughter. It took a while to work tho.. With my second daughter I took Diclegis and it literally worked the next day and worked the entire time!
anti-emetic meds like gravol really dont relieve nausea, they just make you drowsy and that gives the impression of relief!! ginger is a great option though!!
i find it interesting that the doctor was telling you not to exercise because you might lose weight!! you have 2 human beings inside of you!! you can still exercise and still gain weight, and it sounds like you are gaining, and everyone gains weight differently. it has to do with you and your baby!! i gained 25 lbs both times, the first time i was huge and my baby was only 6 lbs 2 oz, and the second time i was relatively small, and he was 6 lbs 12 oz. your going to gain weight no matter what, and it may happen more in your later pregnancy, and since they are on schedule and ahead, this really should not be a problem! also, take into consideration the fact that you were very fit before pregnancy!! you may only gain in the abdomen area, or you may gain everywhere!! working out during pregnancy makes it easier for you to lose the weight, recover after labour, and to get back into the workout much easier!!
Have you tried Vitamin B12 Injections for the Morning Sickness? It worked great for my sister when she was so sick when pregnant with my niece-
