Yes my MS comes back every so often!! Just when some energy returns I decide to do a bit more in my day then suffer later that night! Went to doc the other day as I've had a cold for over 6wks now that just isn't getting better! Turns out I have tonsillitis and strep throat so on antibiotics. Which I'm really grumpy about as I hate taking any meds whilst pregnant. Doc assured me its all safe. Anywho, 2 days in and starting to feel a lot better!
Diva glad this is normal I've been getting like that too ;-(. I honestly feel about 37 weeks preggie not 17!!! Ugh does not boad well!
The odd thing is that with DS2, I could breathe much better when I was further along than during the first half of 2nd tri. Despite the big baby and him pushing on my diaphragm. I don't know if this is normal but I don't think it's dangerous either. Just annoying.Quote:

Nausea still comes back when I'm too tired or hungry, and bonus nausea most evenings from 8 or 9, which usually makes me go to bed early, so at least that's somewhat useful! I don't seem to be able to eat wheat now either, I bloat up like a balloon and get stomach aches, among other things. I had constant indigestion both times too so I'm expecting it. Seems to be better if I avoid oily food, and always put lemon slices in my water curiously.
Diva how exciting to be going home after so long! *Is your family still over there?
I notice with my breathing that I get a sensation like I can't quite take a full breath because my lungs can't expand fully anymore. It's mostly psychological for me because I know I must be getting enough oxygen, but it's the though of x number of months til my lungs are free again that feels almost claustrophobic sometimes. Odd.
Salsa glad to hear you're feeling better. Frustrating to be sick before winter even arrives! Those never ending colds are so annoying too, we had one last winter.
Fish I hear you on feeling 37 weeks already!! I agree, it doesn't bode well at all!!
Got up early this morning to put out all the Easter eggs for the kids outside for their easter egg hunt! But now, Ive been vomiting all morning!! So, MS is still very much present with me :-(
Feeling a bit better now, but cannot stomach any chocolate or hot cross buns!!
Oh no Salsa, you poor thing! That's rotten timing! I hope you save a little stash for yourself for tomorrow or whenever you do feel like a treat again.
anyone having u/s this week?
im in 8 sleeps!!!!! and thorz is Saturday i believe!!!!!!!
cant wait to know whats cooking in me!!!!!
Happy Easter lovely ladies xx
Hot cross buns give me terrible acid but I need a rennie after every meal at moment just eating them anyway lol!
Massive choccie stash boys got soo much I had to hide some ;-)
Wanting and Thorz hope for more pinky news! Xx
I had heartburn every night from weeks 16-18 and now all the sudden it is gone. I get a little sick in the morning if I don't eat something. At 17 weeks I had puked a couple of times but weeks 18 and 19 got a lot better. This pregnancy has definitely been the best for me as far as MS goes. With my boys I was pukey sick until 7 months. I have only puked about 3 days with this PG and I have been able to keep up with a semi normal life.
Hope all the MS passes for you ladies soon... I know it isn't any fun:(
Yep, 6 more sleeps for me......Saturday at 3:00 est time! Anyone else have scans this week? I've been having boy dreams like crazy though!!! I'm sure I'll hear blue!
Hi All!
Feels like ages since I've been on! Happy Easter!
I'm currently on a blow up bed in my littles' room because my littlest has been really poorly and diagnosed with tonsilitis today ;( it was his birthday yesterday and he just wasn't with it at all, then was up all night crying :sad:. He had a high fever a few hours ago, heart pounding and heavy breathing, so I wanted to stay close to him. My biggest is sleeping in with my hubby and I've got a right little snorer next to me! Don't know how I'm going to sleep, but at least he's breathing!
I get so worried when they're ill, especially my littlest, he just seems extra small and more vulnerable than his robust big brother ever was!
Omg last night my dream was that I had a girl on the u/s! Every single other gender dream has been boy..... Today didnt drag on too much as I wasnt home all day.... Tomorrow will tho no school for the kids so they willbe here to drive me insane lmao....
Sad sick kiddos really pull at my heart strings!!! So sorry!Quote:

Northern bad times hun on the bh weekend too boo hope he's better soon x
Good luck for those having scans! Is it Wanting-a-girl, Thorz and maybe Elements?
I won't know for another two weeks.
I've got my 20 week scan in 18 days! I'll be confirming gender then!
In one week at this time I will be having my u/s! I am getting anxious lol
I am so excited for everyone getting their gender scans... hoping everyone gets their GD!! My 20 week u/s is on Friday and instead of obsessing about gender I am way more concerned about a healthy baby. I guess that is good right? GL to everyone getting gender scans this week!!
so The baby is always laying to my Right, Both my girls lay to my left ( i cant remember if iv asked this already) Is there any theory to this? Like is it a boy because it doesnt wanna lay where the girls did?
One thing I can say is ds3 was always chilling in my right side... My current fetus bounces around like crazy! It has no favorite spot at all it goes up down left right constantly... This is my most active baby by far
From 9 wks to 11 wks this babys heartbeat could only be picked up in my right side - it moves now to the middle :)
Sorry I'm not in this group :oops: but find myself reading your posts often!
Hey true blue your welcome here ;-)
Urm this ones laying to my right other two were to left - lets hope opposite to normal for each of us good ;-)
17 days to 20 wks scan, hoping the little one is all healthy. We will be announcing the pregnancy to the wider circle of friends together with the gender if it is confirmed girl. Can't wait to tell everyone!
I am waiting to until my 20 week gender scan to make any big announcements (like on FB). So this baby likes to hang out on the right but I am not sure where my DS1 and DS1 liked to hang out. I didn't have a doppler then. I do know that in my u/s pictures that both DS1 and DS1 were looking/facing to the left and this baby is always looking/facing to the right.
Urgh, littlest has got worse today with a really swollen and stiff neck :sad: so phoned the advice line after dinner and they wanted a dr to see him at the hospital immediately and even considered sending an ambulance! Was a bit scary and we were worrying about meningitis :tissue:
However, he's been checked out and they're happy that its still tonsilitis and they hope the medicine will kick it into touch in the next 24 hours - I hope so, he's in so much pain :sad:
Also had someone access my Facebook account today and try to set up loads of advertising - thankfully Facebook flagged it and it was stopped.
Not a good day
WAG- This one is by far my most active too! All the u/s techs so far have gotten fristrated with him because he won't stay still for anything lol. It's fun feeling all the jabs while they're small but I have a feeling both of us are going to have some bruised ribs as our LOs get bigger!
Northern- I'm so sorry about your poor little guy. It's so hard to feel helpless when your child is sick or in pain. Hope he starts to feel better soon.
We ended up at the emergency clinic on Easter for our little DS3 because he was crying hysterically and grabbing at his penis. I've never seen him so distressed. We suspected an infection and in fact it was but what amazed us and the doctors was how bad the infection was. He said a white cell count in the urine over 75 is considered to be a significant infection, DS3's count was well over 500! They said it was a massive infection and that's why he was in so much pain. He's doing better today but still in pain :-(
Aside from several of us having sick little ones, how was everyone's Easter? Anyone get some nice Easter pics to share? I didn't get any because of DS3 being sick (I usually do a portrait of them each year in their Easter outfits) but will have to wait and do it later this week. Hope everyone is doing well!
O I know it's all I can think of! Lol its gonna get painful!
Sorry about your little guy! Was he swelled up too? My ds2 has issUes where it will swell and turn red or purple and the dr has no idea what it is it happend quite often when he was younger and it happend a couple weeks ago for the first time in a long time... Urine has never come back with a white cell count tho :s i don't circumsise so I wonder if his forsaking is too tight maybe
DS1 is our only one who was circumsized, DS2 & 3 aren't (long story lol) but this is the first time any of my kids have had a urinary tract infection. Anyway, no there was no swelling or anything on the outisde that looked dfferent. Is your little guy in pain when it flares up like that?
Yes he's in lots of pain he says ouch ... He's autistic and although he is quite verbal now he can't conversation I can't say Hayden where do you hurt or how does it feel I don't think he understands context....
They have put him on crazy antibiotics blindly and it put bruises over his entire body... I don't want them treating him like a guinea pig
Aww poor thing! I found this on line in response to a mother with a 4 year old with similar symptoms, maybe it could help?:
"You could always put some anti-yeast meds or some plain yogurt on the penis to give him some relief -- it won't hurt anything if it's not yeast.
It could very well be separation irritation -- if his foreskin is starting to separate from the glans, that often occurs with redness, swelling, and pain. Baking soda baths and lots of nakey time can help, as well as letting him pee in a cup of warm water to minimize any stinging.
If he's running a fever or there's significant swelling all the way down the shaft, or you start to see any gross discharge (like pus), then he might have an infection.
But this age is a very common one to get separation irritation.
http://www.drmomma.org/2010/01/painf...g-prepuce.html
If you do end up taking him to the doctor, do NOT under any circumstances allow the doctor to manipulate the foreskin or attempt to pull it back even if he says he's going to do it gently -- there's simply nothing to see that will be diagnostic and he could harm your son. The only person to retract the foreskin should be your son as he can tell how far back it can go before it starts hurting.
Also, if the doctor wants to prescribe antibiotics, make sure he takes a culture to make sure it's actually a bacterial infection."
Oh no, sorry to hear that several people have sick little ones. Sending them all get well soon vibes. :hug:
And patience vibes to those whose scans are coming up soon too.
Oh so sorry everyone dealing with sick kiddos! No fun at all! dS3 came down with a fever of 104 yesterday. It was so sad but at the same time, he spent the whole afternoon and evening cuddling on my lap and wouldn't let me put him down. I loved all the sweet cuddle time, but I did get much done around the house! I hope he is better today....
How are everyone's little guys today? I hope they are on the mend!
Thanks southern! :)
I def need some patients as I feel like a kid before Christmas morning and I still have 6 sleeps to go!
I'm excited too 4 more days for me, but I'm starting to get really nervous that I booked it too early!!! I'll measure at 15w1d but by LMP I'll only be 14w5d. I've been reading a lot about them getting it wrong that early!! So I'm not sure I'm going to announce anything on FB like I wanted to until its confirmed at my 20 week scan! Well if they say boy at this scan maybe I will announce because if it ends up being a girl later it won't hurt to correct it, but if they say girl and I announce it and then if I'm told boy at 20 weeks, it would KILL me to have to go on FB and say NEVERMIND IT'S NOT A GIRL! it's actually ANOTHER boy! I just really want to be positive it's a girl before I announce it!
