i picked up some Ginger beer today so im hoping that is going to work!
I've got some ginger beer cordial, I have it with lots of ice and it does make me feel better for a little while.
Ice cold ginger beer sounds delicious! Enjoy ladies!
So my energy has returned a bit the last few days. I even managed to organise a lovely little birthday for my ds1, he's turning 5. Hubby and I cleaned the house and I made a birthday cake. He just had 3 little boys from school so it wasn't too stressful. They didn't even make any mess, just ran around playing pirates (that was the theme). So now I have a relatively clean house :bigsmile:. I might even take the boys out for a walk this afternoon for the first time in weeks.
And my Hubby bought home some figs, mmmm. What should I make?
Hopefully you pass on some of your energy to me!! I still feel like I can't do anything! So sick, hard time eating. Have been eating fruit as much as I can (issues with the bathroom). Have a visit with my nurse on monday, hopeing I like my new dr. So worried I wont like him....
I think I did over do it, was exhausted and nauseous by evening and again today :sad:
Hey ladies most of my morning sickness seem to have left (knock on wood) lol. I do notice a little nausea at times and eating seems to help but sometimes i get sick after eating weird. i know this time around i am so worn out! I have zero energy! My DH wants to DTD like every 2 to 3 days. I hate the fact of DTD i do not wanna be touched i like ill when he touches me. Sometimes i go to bed early, or say i am not feeling well to avoid him begging me lol. I feel so bad cause with my other pregnancy's i was all for DTD.
Have any of you had yeast infections early in pregnancy? I am 10wks now and have one now never had one this early before. I usually get UTI every pregnancy for some reason right after getting a BFP.
I also get a infection when pregnant. Usually it is early on, make sure you get meds for it. Could hurt the baby, but I'm sure you already know that. I don't know why I get them, never have gotten one when I am not pregnant. Also I usually don't get any after 20 weeks. Have lost 5 pounds so far and I am just over 8 weeks...I can't eat, every time I try i just get sick. I have tried eating the small meals but that dosen't seem to help at all. Anyone got any tips on foods that i could eat? I have tryed everything....Getting so frustrating..
Thanks Zem7 but my UTI is cleared up i already took meds very early part of my pregnancy. I have 2 more days of the YI cream and i will be done hopefully it won't visit again lol.
Try applesauce, or fruit that seem to help me when i couldn't eat at first.
sorry if this is posted twice somewhere, pushed the wrong butten to enter it. Anyways had my nurse visit today and found out I have lost 10 pounds, so I now weigh 110 pounds...man just wish I could eat already. Also found out I have a UTI lol so have to start taking meds for that today. Fun fun.
6bluewant1pink, I am exactly with you!! Thanks for posting that! I am bascially over the nausea after eating here and there (but I do that not pregnant too!) And I cannot stand at the moment hubby wanting to DTD. I feel bad too. With my other pregnancy I wasn't like this... maybe it will pass? Anyway, just loved hearing someone going through the same.
Oh, and zero energy too. I work from home and usually when I am not busy I am so productive cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc. Now I nap when I am not busy and then can barely get off the couch to walk the dog! My doc says fatigue is the last to go. Ugh.
Hope you continue to feel better and have more energy.
6blue - lucky you! I wish my m/s would go away! Zem - I have been forcing myself to eat lots of small meals during the day. Sometimes I want to have a legitmate meal, other times I have to make myself eat cereal and/or crackers just to put something in my stomach. Usually once I have a little food in my stomach it goes away for a few hours. As far as what to eat goes...I have no idea. Sometimes I see something and can eat that, other times I don't want to eat anything at all. Saltine or soda crackers are my only friends then. I also love white grape juice, but I usually have to water it down a little because its too strong to drink on its own. Ginger ale/beer can be helpful too. Good luck!
6blue- same here too. ms has all but gone still nauseous here and there though. especially when i have overdone it.
i feel terrible though as my hubby has been working 7 days straight and i have done nothing but the basics in the house. i was supposed to get our rumpus room ready to change into a bedroom but i havent even made any kind of attempt to start.
yes for the YI here too - i havent ever had one so early and only had them when i was pregnant with my twins and i had them non stop from about 25ish weeks pregnant with them.
does it make me mean that i am kinda grateful for the YI coz i really dont feel like dtd right now and it gives me a break without hubby getting angry with me since he wants it ALL the time.
eeek i can book a gender scan from mother's day onwards - i'm kinda scared to find out this time.
what is everyone else doing? elective gender scan, waiting til morph scan or staying team green?
hopefull ms starts slowing down for everyone very soon <3
Really hoping peoples ms eases up, mine comes and goes but really not as bad as it was. How exciting mumof6! I really want to find out asap but not sure if it will happen. Thinking of going when I go visit my sister (there is no place near us) but I think my DH will be disappointed because he'd really like to be there. Should really just be patient and wait for the morph scan.
Did you decide to do the blood test Lizzie? You must almost know by now!
Hi bythe******... I just went in today for the blood test, but decided to pass on the gender scan one. It is still $300 out of pocket with insurance. I am doing the first trimester screen, but $300 seemed a little steep for information I can find out in a few weeks anyway. The nurse said just do the regular screen and wait for the sex.
My ob sends the 1st tri screen to a perinatal specialist for the neck measurement, etc. Last time when I went I asked if he would take a peek at the sex. He predicted boy, and that is what I had, so I figured I will ask him again when I go in for that in 2 weeks.
I am kinda scared to find out also! I figure I am having a boy, but it is fun to have a hope for a girl a little longer. I had a hilarious dream that they were giving out blue tickets if you were having a boy and pink tickets if you were having a girl. I got a green ticket. I asked what this meant and they said, well, there is a good chance you are having a girl. I was so excited in my dream (and when I woke up!) haha. Then I realized, well isn't there always the chance I am having a girl? :)
Well I have been having some spotting last night and this morning...I am going in in about an hour to get it checked out. Wish me luck, although I am not holding out much hope....
Oh no, zem7, I hope everything is okay.
Well I went to the Dr. today. They found the baby and said it has a strong heat beat! They could not figure out where the bleeding was from, but said that the baby and sack look healthy. I also found out that in less than a week I lost another 4 pounds. So I am now down 14 pounds...He put me on some meds for MS. I took one right after I got it, still feel sick??.. Does it take a few days to get in your system or what is wrong with me.. Guess the good news is that for now, the baby looks ok.
Glad your bub is fine Zem, that was a bit of a scare. Im not sure about the meds but I hope you feel better soon.
Ugh, my ms has been horrible today. I am soooooooo over living like this.
My first appointment with my midwife is on Wednesday. I hope I like her. I am debating asking for a Rx for something to help the nausea. I don't really like taking medication, but I can't keep doing this every day.
I'm also waking up in the middle of the night to pee, and finding I can't go back to sleep because of anxiety. I'm tired, just not able to get to sleep. It's really not even that anything is "wrong" I just feel anxious in the middle of the night.
It's 8:30 here but I'm exhausted. I need to do some laundry but I really just want to go to bed now. Ugh, hate this crap. :(
So glad things look good, Zem. BabyGirl4 Me, I wake up at least 2 times a night to pee and then can't go back to sleep. I assume it's the hormones talking. (Sometimes I have anxiety in the middle of the night, but this has been consistent since about 6 or so weeks...) It's terrible, huh? Hope you get to sleeping better.
Hi girls, so happy to read ppl are starting to feel better with ms, BabyGirl4Me - im the same up to pee, then cant get back to sleep then exhausted the rest of the day, its a vicious cycle!!
sorry i havent been on for a while, ive had bad nausea and practically living at the drs atm as i have an umbilical hernia which is causing me all kinds of issues. Poor DH has had to take the last week off just to look after me and the boys cause i can barely get outta bed the pain is so bad, it comes in waves...3-4days of absolute agony and then 1-2 days where its a lot more manageable - weird. I have a referral for a surgical consult as the dr thinks i may have to have it operated on while preg but was kinda hoping that didnt have to happen so we shall see when i get the consult.
So glad those of us due in the 2nd half of nov are starting to come up to the end of the 1st trimester!! I dont know about anyone else but i thought this preg was gonna be a dream and joyous and i feel the complete opposite, tired, bloated,looking shocking and feeling horrid! Definately the last pregnancy for me no matter what the gender!!
My pregnancies have gotten more bad each time. My first the only thing that was bad was the MS, the second I started to get low blood pressure issues, the third I had the low bloodpressure issues, to the point that they were worried for both of our safty, the 4th still the low blood pressure they were worried again also fell down at 34 weeks and went into preterm labor, they were able to stop it (thank god) during birth at almost 39 weeks we found out that he had the cord around his neck. They say he was close to death, would not have been able to save him if I wasn't in the hospital. We all believe that it happened when I fell. They did an ultrasound at 34 weeks and saw that he was supposed to get to be my biggest baby. When he was born he was my smallest. OH am I sooo worried about this pregnancy, after the last few I never wanted to go through any of that again...Well here we are and i am a little scared!
So I had a little freek out session this morning...I have been spotting since last thursday, still spotting today. I did see the dr on fri. BUT I am still spotting? so I called again today, and asked what I should do, do I need to worry, because I am freeked.... Do you guys think this is over reacting or would you be the same? they might send me to have a proper ultrasound done in a few days to check it out....
:worry:
Dreaminginoz how awful I really hope the pain eases for you soon. And Zem I would be freaking out too, you really haven't had an easy time of it but Im sure bub is still fine. Its so hard not to stress though, I hope they give you another scan to ease your fears.
Thanks Bythe****** :) How are you feeling these days? - your almost out of the first trimester!
I know! 12 weeks on Thursday. Have been feeling better, only every few days I feel rotten now. Still haven't heard from the hospital, my gp sent a referral at 7 weeks might have to give them a call.
Everyone is so quiet! 10 weeks today, wish it was 12 just so I could get over this MS.... How is everyone feeling lately?
Oops should have said 10 weeks yesterday not today..
I was wondering how you were doing Zem, did your spotting stop? And are you feeling a bit better yet? Im just starting to pop out now. The first 12weeks seem to drag a bit don't they, when you can't feel movement yet and you're unwell.
How are you going dreaminginoz? Has your pain eased yet?
Yes than goodness the spotting has stopped. Haven't seen the baby since before so still worried, but I still have all the pregnancy signs, so not too worried. It just seems like I am having one big problem after the next with this pregnancy. Now I am having severe breathing problems, I have to now take some class C meds to help me...So now I have a new worry, hopeing that it dosen't affect the baby in any way...oh, I just wish it would go nice, just for a little while...Sorry for my little cry down. It may be the pregnancy talking, but I have been so let down lately and scared that something bad will happen to this baby. I know we weren't expecting it at all, but i have grown attached to this little one over the last few weeks, and couldn't stand it if something bad happened....Hope everyone else is feeling in better mood that I am!!
zem7 i feel the same, wasnt expecting this bub but have grown attached to it over the few weeks its been here and am also worried something is not right - cant wait for my scan in 2 weeks! Bythe****** so cute! you have to post a pic when your ready!!! The ms is still really keeping me down once it hits around 1pm everything is a struggle, but keeping positive - it can only get better as time goes by :) In other news i have to have surgery on my umbilical hernia during my pregnancy...still waiting for the surgeon to schedule a date. Apparently there will be no impact on the baby so Im not too scared but surgery is always a concern really, guess ill just have to take it as it comes....
Babygirl4me how are you going hun? Anyone got any scans scheduled?
Glad the spotting has stopped Zem. Im so sorry you have had such a hard time of it, I really hope things improve from here.
Dreaminginoz I hope they can do your surgery soon, I know how many problems you've had. Im sure it will go fine.
I just found out today good friends are due 2 weeks after me. I love having friends pregnant at the same time.
I'll try to post a pic in the next few days of my belly.
Over the past few days I've been given two girly gifts. My MIL gave me a pink knitted cardigan, and my friend a gorgeous little girly bib she made. I also bought a little pink jumpsuit with babushka dolls on it (it was reduced to $6, so I couldn't walk past). But even with these things my GD hasn't been too bad. Sure I'll be disappointed to never have a girl but another boy will be so special too. I was talking to my friend today and really I don't even like girl toys or movies or heaps of pink clothes, boy stuff is heaps cooler. Id really just like to know either way but I don't think that will happen until my morph scan at 20 weeks.
how has everyone been doing mood wise? i have been terrible this time
i am so bitchy and emotional it's ridiculous - my dh says he cant handle this for much longer :/
not sure if it's the fact that this is looking like another boy mixed with general preggo hormones or i'm just more of a wreck now than i ever have been during any of my pregnancies. GD is hitting hard right now
i look like crap - my skin is disgusting on my face and my back and i never ever get pimples anywhere i usually have great skin
my hair is terrible i cant do anything with it and i feel fat and bloated all the time.
geez i'll hit 14w tomorrow god help me if this all continues hubby just might leave me if i keep this up ;) to my defence though he doesnt help when he says things deliberately to hurt and upset me :/
who is having a gender scan? i am having mine next week on saturday the 11th - do we have any gut feelings on genders?
nausea is on and off still but i can finally stand to smell coffee again so it cant be too far off from leaving me!!!
hi ladies,i am new to this website and swayed for a girl,due 11th november 2013,hows everyone feeling?
Welcome Neri :) Do you have any DSs? How are you feeling? How many weeks- 13? are you finding out gender?!
mumof6 - Totally the same here in regards to mood - its a seeeerious moody rollercoast ride at my house, i cry or lose it at the drop of a hat, my husband gets the brunt of it and i also think he doesnt help himself much when he says hurtful things...its not my fault!! its the hormones!!! GDwise im going really well, dont mind boy/girl at this stage...ask me when i find out at 20wks and i might say otherwise :worry:
On the skin and hair - me too!!! i have pimples that dont want to leave my face, its so embarrassing cause i usually have really clear skin, even some of my friends have made comments! - DH and i still havent told anyone we are preg yet trying to keep it on the downlow for now.
I have my 12 week scan to book in for but not sure if we will find out the sex yet so wont be having a gender scan just the 20wk scan...closer to the date we'll make a decision as to whether we will find out i think...
bythe******, is it nervewrecking getting girly gifts? i cant bring myself to wander down any isles that have girly items...im in gender denial bliss for the time being!
Hi NERI and welcome :bigsmile:
Mumof6 Im feeling quite a bit better now Im past 12weeks. Im really hoping this is your girl and you are able to find out at your scan, Im sure just knowing either way will improve your mood anyway. Its horrible being in limbo.
I wish I could get an early gender scan, but I don't think its going to happen. There is no where that does it anywhere near where we live. Im visiting my sister at the end of may, and I'll be 15weeks, so I could get a scan then but there is no guarantee the baby will cooperate and I wouldn't be able to go for a follow up. It is also $150, and if its a boy will I be miserable the rest of the weekend? I don't want to spoil time with my sister, so I think Ill just wait for my morph scan.
My ds1 is so cute, he's 5 and we asked him if he had any ideas for baby names (we did tell him we might not use it). So he said the other day that he thinks it should be Harold if it was a boy, Im not so keen on that one. But tonight he said he liked Maisy for a girl which I actually quite like and had never considered it before. We asked him when we had DS2 as well and he wanted to call him House, but he was only 2 and a half then. Anyone ask their kids about baby names?
welcome Neri :) how is your pregnancy so far?
i never had these mood swings with my others lol it's crazy and i know im being irrational but i just cant help myself
Hopefully the moods will improve when i find out for sure either way - once i know i can start shopping and getting used to the idea
as for names we have settled on Ashton Charlie for a boy, we've always kept our girl name a surprise because it's quite different and also i have it in my head it's gonna be badluck to tell anyone our girl name ;)
we havent really mentioned baby names to the kids but will be fun to see what they think!!
I have noticeably put on weight all over - hubby said i look chubby all round :(
my arms are even getting big and i never put weight on in my arms
hi i have 1 ds,i am 13+4,i am not finding out the gender as this will be my last,want it to be suprise but wanted some guesses from here,but noone knows.this pregnancy is so different to my 1st one so i am all new to it.really sick and tired and headaches,spots,gaining weight plus this baby is big for its size.hopefully its a girl sign.good luck to you.we just started telling everyone.when are you due?
Attachment 11091
That's not very nice of your hubby mumof6. Even if a woman is getting chubby you don't tell them. I really hope you do feel a bit better soon, I wouldn't worry about the weight too much. It might just be your bodies reaction to coming off the diet if you were doing LE.
Sorry I have no clues about the gender of your bub NERI, you are brave waiting until birth. But whatever gender it is it will be nice for your son to have a sibling.
