Melster- That made me :rofl: . I won't get the flu shot cos I then instantly get the flu and am sick worse than getting the flu naturally. OMG how do the kids not know lol? I can't get away with that here as DS1 tells me when I'm pregnant!
Greenslw- I fell over once with a bub in a wrap (at home cleaning) and he was just fine. You instinctively fall in a way that bub cannot be harmed, even if it seems to go against physics. In a wrap or carrier, it is actually safer as you have to use of your arm (I say arm as the other tends to grab bub for added safety) to help you manoeuvre to a better position for you as well. Hope your DS is feeling better.
Calluna- That is basically the majority of replies she got before taking down her post lol.
Me4- Unfortunately there are people that do, such as my step sister. She not only has faked a twin pregnancy she miscarried at almost 6 months (anyone see the big mistake in that lie?) and she faked rape as well. She has seen the sympathy I have gotten in the past for it and loves it for herself (Iwould rather go without the attention) she also starts a new claim that she may have cancer every time someone announces that someone has cancer. We have 3 recent cancer cases in friends, one recently had a mastectomy and her husband is gravely ill with cagenuine (bowel I think) and my friend's now 6yo son that has been fighting for 3yrs now with his brain tumor. Needless to say she disgusts me. So yeah, the family have always favorited her and so believe her, yet I have my scans, bts, etc and I'm apparently the fake. Hence one reason I don't see most my family or often and never see her if I can avoid it cos I just wanna punch her in the face and call her bluff. It degrades everyone that has/is going through it. I'm not going to delete anyone cos most of them are well meaning, like a couple of my close friends know and they have questioned me as to if I'm doing the right thing by the baby, myself and my boys, especially with everything that happened last time but they are also offering their genu full support to go with my decision without talking behind my back like a couple of busy nosed betty's like it is gossip.
As to the cramps, it could be your ligaments stretching and/or be a poo problem. I have to keep adjusting my vitamins in order to keep regular (sorry TMI) cos if I'm not getting enough iron in particular, I'm too runny and that causes cramping (also cos of not enough fiber but I throw most of that back up so can't do much there) and then too much iron and I start getting constipated and that causes cramping.
AFM- Seen a doc yesterday and am allowed to take panadine forte (does slightly better than panadol) and was told that I was depressed and that is likely the reason for it. Either that or low iron. I call bs on the depression though as he said that because I was in so much pain I kept breaking down and crying, was short with the boys and because I slept a lot the day before and was having trouble staying awake yesterday (also today I had a nap while a friend watched my boys for me). Pain does that to me though and after being sick for the last few weeks and the migraine for the last few weeks, of course I'm bloody tired. One of my signs of depression is being tired but also along side of having trouble falling asleep and that is not the case here. My house being messy is another sign and that is present but slowly improving and heck, again after the last few weeks and with the constant ms (not just nausea but actual vomiting every damn day any time of day), what can really be expected? Another sign is that I won't have anyone over, won't go out, don't want to work, etc, well I have had 3 different friends over in just the past week, while still feeling like crod and with a messy house, have gone out near on every day and apart from the ms and sicknesses, I have wanted to work and have been working and for the enjoyment, not just the money. Another (well and advanced) sign is self harm and that isn't happening at all. Obviously abstaining from activities that generally bring joy is a sign for most people and that isn't happening. I also overspend and while that is kind of happening with the car, that isn't happening, the car is a necessity and I'm not going out and buying something like an iMAX, instead I'm buying a car that suits out needs and our budget (how I would love an iMAX though lol.While I had been exhibiting some of those signs earlier in the pregnancy, they have died off/ gotten less which matches more of James's pregnancy. I'm expecting a lil spike again if I get to a point I haven't much going on if it is like James but I also didn't have kids to run after back then lol. I am also asking for help when needed and/or wanted, whereas I wouldn't be doing much of that otherwise. Yeah, that doc has annoyed me heaps lol.
Awesome news is I threw out the off foods in my fridge without hurling!Been trying to do that for a fortnight now (mainly just out of date stuff but also "fresh" broccoli, etc). Would have been nice if I had the same success with this post though lol
