Hello!

Congratulations on your baby, I hope all goes well for you. How far along are you? Some women experience morning sickness right away, but for the most part, they say that if you're going to get it, it happens around 8 or 9 weeks. I am currently 22 1/2 weeks and still haven't had it. It is supposed to diminish/go away after your first trimester is over (2nd trimester starts at 13 weeks).

I have heard that anywhere from 15 weeks (if you are having an amniocentesis done) and up is when you find out the sex of your child. Typically it is 20 weeks. But, some doctors will do that ultrasound at 18 weeks for you. The waiting is so hard!! But, it is so exciting to find out when that day finally rolls around.

And, to answer the last part of your question, I have found a website that lists the things you can't eat and the things you should avoid, but can have in limited quantities. If it is not listed, it is safe to eat! I don't know if it is listed, but don't drink tonic water, I have read a report on the internet that there is an ingredient in it that can cause complications. All the best to you!!

Oh, if you want a really good book to use a resource guide, I would buy The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, The Pregnancy Bible or Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn. The latter two are really informative for the pregnancy, birth and care of your new baby. (My personal favorite is The Pregnancy Bible, it's loaded with pictures and information)

I was 17 when my son was born! He's almost 10 months old now!

You may never get morning sickness. Some women don't. I wasn't actually throwing up but I would get really dizzy and weak.

In Canada (not sure about anywheres else) you have an 18 week ultrasound. This is when you can find out the gender!

Basically, you just need to eat healthy. Try to stay away from soft or runny eggs just in case the egg isn't cooked. You can look all that stuff up on the internet!

Good luck with everything! All the best! You will probably see a bunch of rude comments on here but just ignore them. But not letting them get to you, you're already better than them! Enjoy your little baby!

I recommended the What To Expect When You're Expecting book too...it's soooo helpful!!!! Also What To Expect The First Year is great too.

Another good one is Pregnancy For Dummies (funny title, I know. It explains everything well and doesn't use these huge medical terms!) I loved this book!

Everyone is different. People don't always get morning sickness and some start later than others. It seems like most people find out around 20 weeks and I know that's when I'm going to find out. Now about what to eat. I know hot dogs are VERY bad. If you really want to know I would go to the library and check out books and I would by the what to expect when expecting book. It has really helped me so far. Good luck

It can start any time. Usually after 7 weeks. Some times later, sometimes sooner, some never get it if they are lucky. You can find out around 20 weeks. That's when it is the most accurate. But it can be wrong at any given time. I found out I was having a girl at 15 weeks. But I had them look again at 21 weeks and it was still a girl. Watch how much fish and what types you eat. Get a pregnancy book, like what to expect when you are expecting, they will tell you so much more. They say to not eat lunch meats unless heated up to hot and steaming, I have eaten them and me and the baby are fine, but I waited till after the 1st trimester to eat it. No drugs, alcohol, jumping, roller coasters, etc.

morning sickness can start right away and last the whole pregnancy. some women are lucky and do not get it at all.

you will be 20 weeks when you get your first sonogram to tell weather it is a boy or girl

and you shouldnt jump on trampolines or eat a lot of fatty foods. do things just as your normally would but remember that your baby is getting everything you eat and if its not healthy for you its not healthy for your babym

not everyone gets morning sickness but mine started when i was about 6 weeks pregnant.. u can get a pretty clear picture ( if ur baby cooperates) when ur about 17- 22 weeks to determine the gender.. and heres a list of things not to eat .. btw congrats and hope u have a beautiful healthy pregnancy! it goes really fast so enjoy !

While there are plenty of experienced ladies here who can help with advice, you really need to make sure you are seeing a doctor or a midwife. Prenatal care is the most important thing you can do for your baby. Your doctor will give you a list of safe and unsafe practices, including medicines, activities and diet you should and should not do while pregnant.

Don't listen to the sick mind that told you to give away that child - it's yours, and I'm proud of you for keeping it. 3 thumbs up (2 babythumbs, of course =) ).

Morning sickness may never come; I think you should consult the doctor on the gender determination and a proper diet =)

Have a great life for you and your baby.

Your doctor should tell you all this buuuuut:

some don't experience morning sickness, however it could be the first 12 weeks, should go away after that I believe.

Can tell the sex around 18-22 weeks.

and you're not allowed to have artificial sweetener, not too much caffeine, some fish, and undercooked meats, like cold cuts. o and alcohol.
