my home has also been badly neglected, don't feel bad my 3 boys!!

has anyone experienced headaches? I am on week 2 now of being in so much pain, the only thing that kind of helps is if I take Tylenol extra strength=[ I know its not my blood pressure since I have my own cuff, I've just never experienced this before with my boys during pregnancy.

I think I remember having them with DS2, but not with DS1 and maybe only once or twice this time around. With my first two pregnancy I had really bad costochondritis (chest pain from muscles) and for weeks on end had to take extra strength tylenol. Both boys were totally fine so if you need the tylenol to survive, you should be okay! But yes, I do remember having them frequently last pregnancy and it's brutal. Crazy how different pregnancies can be! You'd think your body would do the same thing every time!

Moms of 3 or more...

How was your 3rd labour? Would you say it gets easier, or just as easy with each baby? DS1 was a 7hr induction from 0cm so the Dr. thought it was quite fast and I pushed for probably 1.5hrs. DS2 was natural, 5hrs total from start of contractions and had maybe 4 pushes. Just wondering what to maybe expect from the 3rd. I'm assuming pushing either gets faster or stays the same each baby?! I'm hoping to continue the trend with maybe a 3hr labor and 2 pushes wishful thinking

Don't ask lol. DS3 was back to back so I had a gruelling 36 hour labour. DS1 was 5 hours and DS2 was about 8. Don't think I'm anything to go by though. The little monster just didn't want to make it easy or his mummy.

oh no!!! Poor you, especially after 2 fast labours! I guess you can never be sure.. each baby has their on mind on when they want to come and how I was so hoping for the third to pretty much fall out haha!

Baby three is generally the trouble maker just from what I've witnessed over the years. I am nervous for #3 labor too!

Ohh hlmcdaniels, I experienced extreme headaches with my DD.. They were totally unbearable i would just want to lie down and sleep.. But thankfully this time Ive have t got headaches, my only thing is feeling nausea when I'm starting to feel hungry!! And alot of saliva in my mouth eurgh sorry tmi..
Hope you hear girl!!

Oh no afy thats horrible! Why does she invite herself lol?! Lets hope she doesnt go with u. I wouldnt feel comfy if my SIL went with me. Not long for ur big trip to manchester!!! So wil u be having ur 12week scan here? I had my appointment.. Still hasnt sunk in that im preg. She will book me in for my scan which will be in June. Cant wait for this! How are u feeling?

Awww excited for you, trust me time will fly by for your scan.. Well I spoke to the nurse and she said she would squeeze me in for a scan before I leave so I will roughly be about 10weeks.. Is there any chance of seeing nub lol or is it too small??
I was worried the whole time turns out now she's not going, phew! Well I told my hubby and I just figured I'd tell her hubby wants to come with me that way she deff wouldn't go..
I'm just in the packing process and my mines boggled I don't know what DD will be like on aeroplane it's a evening flight so hopefully she'll knock out and sleep.
Are you booking a private gender scan?

Hlmc..... What a cutie. You must be over the moon with such a healthy looking bubs can't wait for my baby to be that far along.

Soar... I don't blame you for taking the drugs. When I had Hyperemesis I was on zophran and something else (can't remember now) which worked differently to the zophran but neither really worked. The only thing which gave me slight relief was the anti nausea injection they gave me at the hospital when I went in to be put on drips. It was like.... Instant relief. Felt like cool mint going straight round your body to your stomach and settling it. It was in them moments I realised how really bad I had it. I hadn't not been sick for weeks. Strangely nothing this pregnancy! I hope that means my baby is ok?

Afy.... What is it with nosey SIL's!! Poor thing. The first appointment is all questions and personal history. I don't blame you for not wanting her there. Can DH have a word with her?

Huds... I still don't feel pregnant! I wish they would hurry up and send me through a booking in appointment then I might feel like I'm actually pregnant!

3boys I know what you mean about not feeling pregnant!!! I just want some sort of concrete evidence to show me I am lol.. When is your main scan? Or are you going private??

Thank The Lord SIL isn't going now, I was pAnicking I don't like somebody invading my privacy, especially at appointments!

[hlmcdaniels]

ladies I just wanted to share something with you all, and just to give you a little background on me I am an ICU nurse, and while I worked yesterday I had our top radiologist look at my scan (he works with children and babies so its an area of expertise) and he said he thinks baby is 60% girl because the nub is so flat and because i'm also measuring at 13 weeks IF it were a boy the nub would be more up and down.. omg I am so hoping this is our girl ladies!! this gives me hope!!!

afy.. I also have the saliva... its embarrassing!! lol
