today is one of those days....:crying: i hate myself, and i have a whopping sore throat so that doesn't help much either does it, so now im even more pathetically limited on what i can eat. I hate my stupid body but love my baby inside me. Contradiction yep but im hormonal and sick and need a vent even if it is half baked cause im exhausted!:doh:
That's a great thing with BB, you can vent and get it out of your system. Try and get some rest but see the Dr if your throat isn't any better tomorrow.
DD2 came home last night with a sore throat and had to go to Uni today as it's the first week back. I think a sore throat just makes you feel extra yuk.
Hope you start feeling better soon and get some sleep tonight. :)
thanks sweet unfortunately i have seen a dr two in fact nothing much said i have had this about of sore throat for over 6 weeks now, i wonder if ya have had glandular fever before if this is why the sore throats stick around for such a long time? today is read bad tho.:
thanks again for your support
If they are looking for glandular fever also get them to check for the virus form. Many years ago I had all the symptoms of glandular fever but nothing showed up. They thought it was a virus form. All I could do was rest, work a few days and rest again. This went on for a few months.
Also go to the dentist and have a check up as was told that this can also cause throat infections.
dentist whats that????? oh thats $$$$$$$ hrmmmm anyhow i do believe i have good dental highine no fillings at all and no missing teeth ( thanks to my mom) Wish i had the luxury of going to the dentist but on one income for the last 9 months its not looking likley :S Plus hubbie needs one more than me.:
As for the testing i have been tested previously for glandular fever and they said i have had it unsure about the viral one maybe thats what i have now? unsure i know i always get it in pregnancy well the last two of them and it lasts for months after.
Just checking in to see how you are.
Hope things have settled down for you and you are feeling alot better. :)
actually it has.... hubbie has made sure i dont skip meals and this helps and i have made sure to eat what the body says and dont fight it. So far so good :) thanks for the check up sweet.:hug::
Nuts and dried fruits?
Hi hun,
Im loving raisin toast atm, pretty much the only thing i like to eat, other than normal toast with some marg and a cup of tea.
Are taking some preg vitamins? They mite help in keeping yourself and baby up with essential vitamins and minerals while you work out the food issues.
Best of luck
i think stress is what cause it and makes it worse. but seem to be handling it alright. Been on a good run.
Wow Squidipa it sounds like your having a rought trot! :( Was it the same for all your other pregnancies? If it was then kudos to you for going through all this a fifth time! And to think I whinge if hubby to be brings me vegemite toast instead of cheese on toast in a morning lol.
I hope you feel better soon and find some foods that don't make you ill. At the moment I can't get enough strawberries (which i normally don't eat) and yoghurts (which I NEVER eat normally as they make me sick) Goodluck with your food issues hun! Hopefully it passes soon and you are feeling happier soon too :hug:
P.S. I'm due the day before you! :)
you should come and join our babies thread :) congrats, thank you for your kind words and support:). strawberries yeah im hooked on them easily eat a punnet in one sitting hubbie bought me 8 punnets lol:
Squid, one hopes I can ease your mind just a little - but as much as you want to throw "good" food down there, I found with my HG that ANY food is preferable to No food. I got through my first pregnancy on Burger Rings and Water. The second was Watermelon and Strawberry milk. Yes I would eat my prepared meals too but they never lasted. Some dinners were returning before the plate was half empty.
Plus I believe your cravings are simply your body telling you it needs X vitamin/etc, and it remembers what food has the most digestible form, and you crave it. So don't ignore them. Go with it. It makes the whole thing so much easier to get through if you just follow your internal cues.
For any other time, if it can go down - and stay down - then just eat it. Its better than nothing at all.
so true thank you :):
Hey Squidipa,
How are you going now?
Just wanted to let you know that I know how you feel.
I have this aversion with food whilst stressed/anxious too. And I don't even need to be pregnant!
Actually for me it's not really the food, but being really scared of vomiting. I could go for a few days without food if I think it will help me not throw up.
So here are some big hugs to you, and hopefully your stresslevels will drop really soon!
Hey squidipa!
How you doing with the food issues? Hope your feeling a little better now and that some of it has passed. :D
UPDATE!!!!!!!
i have not had a BIG issue since and im quite happy about that. makes life so much more easier :) thanks for your prayers and support
