haha, well I dunno if it will work for you, but what i have been doing is making thick fruit smoothies with frozen fruit and vanilla soya milk. If you blend it well but make it mostly fruit its like ice cream....but much better. YOu can also put it some yogurt or a banana.
Im 5weeks and feeling so emotional and like I cant eat enough. I dont know why that is because I didnt think we needed those extra 300calories yet...until at least 3mths or something...

Congrats! And I would have to say go and have the ice cream Smile just remember that you need all the health things too. Being pregnant is wonderful and you may as well enjoy yourself and a cool bowl of ice cream. As long as you do not over do it; you and baby will do just fine:)

Eat it!! J/K good luck with that. Smoothies are wonderful. Also, try having vanilla yogurt with fresh or frozen fruit! Those are so good. Yum

Hi Ladies,

I am new here and I am 6 weeks pregnant too Very Happy

Been feeling very sick with waves of nausea, loss of appetite, and I actually throw up when I feel hungry but I just cannot eat. Not so much of cravings though but strong dislikes on smell of food, especially spices. I am very tired and feel very lazy, totally has no mood for anything and felt so weak, probably due to my bad appetite.

I love sweet things and have cravings for ice-cream and yogurt these few days too... Very Happy

All the best to all mothers and healthy 9 months!

Cramping is also normal in singleton pregnancies.

How is your twin pregnancy going?

6 weeks prego with my frist
I am 6 weeks along! And all i want to do is eat. I am not eating anything to bad. Mostly fruits, veggies, protein, I just want to eat and eat.
I did smoke before i got prego. I just quit a few weeks ago once i found out that i was expecting. I am thinking is it the hand and mouth thing from smoking or am i just that hungry. I am just dont want to over eat.
plus I am not working out until after my 1st tri. because i did miscarry last summer.

Hello, I am 7 weeks today. I don't even feel pregnant, no symptoms. I am craving pickles. I would say go ahead and eat a bowl of ice cream, just do it in moderation. When I was pregnant with my son in 2001, I didn't watch what I ate and gained 30 lbs. I drank Mt. Dew like water with him. He was fine, healthy, small baby though at 6 lbs. 4 oz. This time I am watching what I eat and have cut out the Mt. Dew.

6 weeks prego is a bi#ch!
I'm 6 weeks along with my second and it's so different this time. I'm always hungry and tired. The thing is, I'm also picky with foods. I have aversions instead of cravings! I can't eat anything fried, oily, sweet, spicy, milky or meaty. It's so frustrating cause I have to find ways to nourish my body, keep my family healthy and fed, and make sure that I don't feel nauseous in the process. The only fizzy drink I can have now is an orange flavoured one. Hopefully this will end soon.
