You sound QUITE prego, my love! I agree with all the PP's on it all being normal. My only hope is that you will SLOW DOWN and take it easy! You need some snuggle time on the couch with Scout and a chick flick! This is the time to be relaxing and sleeping and letting that little bean(s) of yours grow, grow, grow. Love ya! xoxoxo

you are totally normal. the stress of being pregnant after IF and MCs is pretty high. I will tell you that you should try and relax a bit if you can, but I know it is VERY hard. so hang in there and do your best. Do things that you like and that relax you.

as for eating, try the BRAT diet (banana, rice, apples and toast) it is bland and can help with bad MS. if that does not work, well try to eat whatever you can, but don't stress out about it. eat small bits of stuff. I snacked on plain, dry cherrios for weeks! The most important thing is to stay hydrated.

as for the hair dye, there are as many opinions as people you ask. I have heard that you should avoid all over color, but that highlights are OK. All over color gets on your scalp and can get absorbed into the skin, highlights don't get on your scalp (I stressed this to my sylist as well).

Hang in there. Wishing you all the best~~~~

If you need to dye your I would wait until you have started your second trimester. I am sure you are the only one who even notices a few grays. As far as the sickness and tiredness it sounds pretty routine for first trimester pregnancy so congrats. As for the depression we all understand how happy but scary it can be to be pregnant again after a loss, but hang in there! A huge congrats on your bfp I remember you from TTCAM.
