Ouch!!
Yay for all the scans coming up :D
Me4- I couldn't find you but you should be able to find me with the blue FB icon under my name or by typing into the address bar www dot facebook dot com / damprye
Greenslw- Hope the bottom starts moving. With not going for so long, may I suggest a stool softener that you sqirt up the rear? It can be extremely painful otherwise to get the initial blockage out. TMI but with DS2, I hadn't been in over a week and it was jaggered like glass and about the size of a tennis ball and there was nothing I could do to get it out but to adorn a glove....and yeah. Never got constipated again but I now keep them in the house for JIC.
Cheshire- Boo, let mumma eat chocolate lol
Calluna-How are you?
AFM- So today I booked a "me" day, first I have had in a while. I even took preventative measures such as sleeping on my couch downstairs so we could sleep till 6/7am. Now I am a grumpy @ss ***** because DS1 got up at 4:30am, woke DS2 and then had them both come downstairs, turn on all the lights and get me up. I tried to hard to let it slide but I am NOT a morning person. Hour and a half later, I sent them back to bed, which meant screaming for 15mins and then I really did lose it. I'm not much of a smacker and when I do, it is normally on the hand but nope, today DS1 got it on the toosh. DS2 got a bottle of milk and they both got a stern telling off and put back to bed. DS1 also broke my clock so that it was "time to get up" DS1 keeps making this stupid "hooo!" noise similar to a trumpet to keep DS2 awake and to **** me off. It is working really well cos both myself and DS2 are tired. With the noise that is being made upstairs, it is taking all my control not to go troppo and scream the damn house down myself. Counting/deep breaths etc do not work for me if ah cannot get away from the noise, it just makes it worse! Anyone have any advice cos I am seriously going to lose it. Writing here atm is only ebbing the flow a tiny bit
Hugs Dampyre. No advice from me, Im a crappy mummy at the moment. Poor DS is so neglected and acting out as a result. Im trying not to get angry at him because I know he just wants some love but its hard when he refuses to cooperate.
AFM - Still struggling with ms. Had lunch out yesterday and threw it up in a public toilet less than 10mins later. To add to my tale of woe, I managed to be splashed in the face with public toilet water.
Also havent managed to drink anything since mid day yesterday. Im so thirsty but everything just makes me sick. I dont want to end up in hospy but Im scared of thowing everything up again. :(
Cheshire - wow that is steep isn't it... Only 1 week to go!
Hugs Damprye, don't really have advice, besides the suggestion if they can stay a few hours or overnight at your mum's or a friend's place? Just to give you a bit of respite of the overwhelming task of taking care of littlies 24/7 without a partner... Yay I found you on Facebook, I had never really noticed the Facebook link near the avatar... Love yours by the way. I will have to have a think about my avatar, about what I want and might contact you later (as I saw you were offering to make one??!) if you wouldn't mind making me one?! I would have no clue on how to even start on one... Hope you get a chance to enjoy your me day after all the stress so far!
Hugs as well for Calluna - Do water ice cubes work? I heard about people that were really nauseous and couldn't keep water down, they'd suck on ice cubes? I have no idea as I haven't been in that situation. But hope you can keep some fluids down soon!
AFM nothing really new... Just counting down to ultrasound day, not long to go now. If all is well, I'm going to tell people at work and then on Facebook. I really can't wait! Working 12-7pm shift today, this one sucks :$ Can't wait to get to 7.30pm and be home with my DH and my lovely doggie fur ball.
Managed to calm down enough. Laying in my room with DS2 running around. DS1 is about to get an awful shock as I am about to go wake him
Calluna- Don't be scared of throwing up what you have eaten, just choose things that aren't bad when retasting. If I didn't eat for fear of puking it back up, I'd be like 50kg by now lol. Depending on how soon it comes back up, determines how things will be on the upchuck. If it is within half hour (as it mostly is for me) then any milk products (especially icecream and custard) are quite nice. Slimy foods are good for short or long term. I find lasagne good, especially if it has a strong flavor. Keep sipping down those fluids. I have also split my meals. Half the size they used to be and split into two courses, vomit, eat, vomit, eat, vomit is the basis of my meals lol. I'm even so used to hurling so much I can carry on typing this with watering eyes and puking right now. At least that way small amounts are digested, even if it doesn't seem like it. Your tummy starts to pounce on everything you swallow. Its actually quite funny at times. I can tell when a decent amount has made it through cos I get wicked hiccups.
Haha DS1 is complaining he is too tired to get ready for school and that I shouldn't have woken him up :D
Me4- Accepted :)

Me4- Accepted :)
Damprye - cool! Now where do I go to have a look at your lovely little one? (besides the other two... they look angelic!!!)
Unfortunately not Me4. They still taste like water and its the taste that makes me sick.
Thats a long day. :( hope it goes quickly.
Should be in mobile uploads. I added you to my BB list as it is privacy restricted to that list only
Hey Me4, are your initials A.M? Is it ok if I add you on fb too? If not, Thats cool, Im easy either way. :)
Lol Dampyre. I was thinking yesterday, the strawberry milkshake wasnt too bad on the return. MIlk seems to be the only thing that doesnt come up straight away. Usually.
Lol sometimes all I have for a meal is a flavored milk
Calluna - yep that's me and add me if you like :) I'll come onto the BellyBuddies October thread after all ok on 12 week scan and will ask the others to add me too :) Am still hiding for another couple of days ;)
Calluna and Damprye - what hints and tips from you poor ms girls... I might be able to use it for another pregnancy?! Never know if it'll be like that for me next time ;)
No tips from me, except if you dont want to be splashed with toilet water, apparently chucking some toilet paper in first helps.
Off to add you, my initials are HB. ;)
Me4- I didn't need them for DS1, just DS2 and this one lol. People kept telling me it was because my boys have different. Dads but this one is the same "donar" as DS1 so go figure. I think I've put hints in October BB as required but maybe I'll type up a doc when next on computer LOL. I was wondering when you would end up joining us ;-) I first spotted you in LTTTC just as you found out you were UTD. Wasn't stalking you, just reading through threads to look for something :rolf: Another thing I've been wondering, when are you going to get an avvy? And have you got anyone picked to make you one if you are not making it yourself?
Calluna- I rarely use the loo now as its just so gross. The thought of my face so close to where someone's poopy butt has been and poop water just made me hurl more. I mainly use sinks, buckets and V-bags. I do on occasion need to use the loo but that tends to be more when its a coming and I can't make it elsewhere and barely make it there so I don't end up close enough for splash backs haha. I do have decent aim though.
Wow you ladies have mega posted today hope I can keep up.
Cal I'm shocked at the cost mine is $185. Including cd bt is free
Damprye I hear you on the hooooo sound DS does that. Would a DVD help calm them? Otherwise I employ the wear DS out method in the morning park, beach play date, hope they pick up on the don't pee mummy off vibe soon.
Me4 yay for one week to go
Cheshire thanks for the list but no chocolate for me until 8 months
Me #2 :leap: and now I'm upping water and fibre, my back is so sore ATM missed physio app and wishing I didn't. Starting to feel guilty for not sharing our news with everyone not long to go, my vague brain can't take it. Oh I went to new child care centre for baby it's beautiful so muck DS is now on the list too, not an unhappy child in the place.
Damprye - re: avatar - read my message from this morning at 7.39 :) Ha ha... Thanks for following me in the LTTTC forum :) Seems like ages ago, since we got our BFP! Can't believe I'm almost 12 weeks! I've never made it this far!
Greenslw - Yay for a nr 2! Ha the things you can get excited about when pregnant...
Lyra, Melster, VV, V21 and anyone else might have missed! Hi to you ladies and how are you girls going??? No news, good news I hope??!
AFM long long day at work with lots of standing. I'm exhausted and my poor back is achy. I'm sitting with my feet up now, nice! I was just mentioning to my DH, if I'm this tired now, when I'm almost 3 months pregnant, how's it going to go when I'm 6 months or more... Oh well, I suppose I can't complain since I only work part time, but still.
double post, agaiN!!!!
Me4- Lol can't believe I missed that post. I'm not very good at stalking you see ;-P I'd be happy to make you one but will PM about details as I like to get a real feel for what people are wanting, even if they don't really know themselves :) And big Woohoo! for getting this far. You'll be absolutely amazed when you are holding YOUR baby in your arms. Don't worry so much on the tiredness, energy will likely be coming back over the next couple weeks until you get huge and tired from all the extra weight and work. The second trimester is generally the best.
Greenslw- No, at 4:30am they have one choice only....bed! Poor DS1 slept this arvo from 4 till 9:30 (when I picked him up from daycare) and is currently having a feed of veggies and a milk drink (oat milk) before back to bed. If he wakes at a ridiculous hour tomorrow, I'll be ok with that as he has slept so much.
Feeling terrible. woken with dry mouth and eyes and a headache. Feeling super sick. I'm going to head into hospy this morning, I'm stressing about bub too. I read last night if you get too dehydrated it affects how much amniotic fluid bub has. Hoping they'll do an us to check she's ok...
Calluna it's more of a concern with long time dehydration, i was so so sick with DD3 & by 10wks nothing would stay down longer than 5mins.
I was put in hossy for a few days with the drip & it was just what i needed to break the cycle & start feeling human again.
I hope they don't fob you off & your able to go in x
Im not sure how long I've been dehydrated for. Havent been able to drink water for weeks, or hydralyte for about a week. Had this headache for 4 weeks now.. but dunno how much is caused by hormones and how much is dehydration. Been having uncomfotable braxton hicks for at least a week.
It's hard to know what's normal & what's not :hug:
Hope your middy gets back to you soon x
It is, it all just blends together.
Thanks hun. Ill give him a bit longer and if no response Ill just call the hospy direct.
Calluna- Are you public or private? They'll likely let you go on the drip if private, public tends to be trickier. They didn't admit me until my heart was giving out as my body shut down. It contributed to the PND heaps as well as my mind (even in it's rather delusional state) had gone through the 5 stages and I was at acceptance. I was ready to die and it took a lot for the brain to realize that I still had a lot of living to go once I got help. I was on the drip for days. My urine looked like Guinness as I was so severely hydrated. I tried sucking juice out of an apple I was that desperate for fluids, just to throw that up and all other contents of my stomach (saliva and bile) the sugar content burnt so harshly on the way back up, especially as I had given up eating due to fear of it making me vomit more (why I am more careful and aware this time).I had also seen multiple doctors in the days prior to admission, including that morning.I had also described everything that had gone on, including not knowing the last time I went for a 2# as it had been so long. That is one way private is often better.
AFM- DS1 was the first up again. Came into MY room and argued with me about closing my door and getting out. My room is out of bounds and he knows it. He went on so much he woke DS2. I am absolutely livid, especially as DS2 gets real sooky and annoying. Don't get me wrong, the sooky cuddles would be fantastic if he didn't keep squirming until giving me a brilliant headbutt in the mouth making me bleed every time. Seriously with how many times a day he does that and how he gets NO attention afterwards, either my lip should be so strong that my teeth shouldn't be able to push through it and/or DS2 should stop in order to get the attention he wants. Instead I put him down or push him away (depending on if I'm standing/sitting/laying) and full on ignore him and his tantrums. Turns out that my stressed out rant yesterday also gained me a warning. Oops.
So frustrated I could cry! Ive messaged my midwife, a friend and my SIL and called the EPU and no one is responding. :( so tempted to just rock up.
Hugs Dampyre, thats awful. Im hoping my hosp will be a bit more receptive. They have an online brocure about ms hg and dehydration. According to that I should call the epu. Which I did. Just waiting for a call back.
EPU called back. She said they only really deal with bleeding, so I should go to ed and they will probably give me iv fluids. Just have to hope they take me seriously.
Calluna have you tried ice? I couldn't keep water or anything else down so crunched on ice and that stayed down more often. I couldn't physically eat or drink for weeks and weeks, the ice really helped and bubs is fine.
I haven't but I don't have a freezer. I can't handle ice in a drink though so I doubt it.
Me4 I think it'll be better when work knows your pg
Damprye sorry you got a warning I hope the rant made you feel better any late naps today?
Cal did you go to ed? Ice chips may be worth a try
Think I must look like an old lady at work had to go on a walk to get a client out the house was totally puffed and got some pains in my hips need to slow down also DS doesn't like kisses anymore :( DF was saying yuck as a game for a while now even for a kiss goodnight I get yuck mummy :cry: not ready for a big boy yet.
Yeah Greens. They gave me 1.5 bag s of IV fluids, zofran and maxalon and a script for drugs to keep the vomiting at bay after discharge. Feeling 1000 times better. Going to try the maxalon first as its gentler and much cheaper.
I have really sore hips and low energy too. Everything is exhausting, it has eased up a bit now though. Maybe hormonal? Hope it does for you too.
:hug: hope your little man comes around.

Greenslw- No nap today, been too busy which is why I needed to set a day aside for me lol.
Calluna- That's good. I'm glad they listened before it became a problem. I was put on a bag for an hour, then 1 two hourly twice and then 1 every 3hrs for the next couple days ending with one every 4 hrs for the last day. Finally started peeing and eating on the third day lol. They tried me on Maxilon for the first couple days as well and then I went zofran and finally got some relief. If you end up needing zofran, ask if you can get the hospital to write the scripts and to pick it up from the hospital pharmacy. I paid $5.60 for 30 wafers instead of over $70 for 10. I cried when they were going to discharge me with just maxilon as I had been taking it up till then and I was so afraid of going through that again. Won't let it happen this time though :) (slap me if I do lol)
Just poorer my hear out and got booted :(
There is blood! Bright red and scaring the pants off me. DF and I DTD tonight and during the oncoure I got a couple of sharp cramps in the centre of my belly but when I shifted they went away. No blood straight after but when I just got up for the loo there it was. It seams to be getting lighter and no clots but freaking out. With my mc the blood was dark old blood full of clots and not getting lighter. I don't know what to do scan is 10 days away and if no more blood do I leave it? Baby what's going on?
Are you private Green?
I called my Ob & he told me to just come in.
If your public you might have a harder time getting someone to look.
You Could see your GP & ask for a scan for your own piece of mind.
It's not unusual to bleed after sex, your cervix might be irritated.
I do hope it's nothing & I'm thinking of you x
Greenslw- I hope it's just an irritatation
AFM- I am livid and just want to cry. It is not even 5am here and I have been awake for 2hrs now because of these children of mine. I have a huge drive home in the morning which is hard enough to do with a whole nights sleep and I've had 2/3hrs tops! WTF?! Why do they keep doing this? They are going to bed at the normal time, last night was actually a little later as I am baby sitting and she is allowed to stay up a lil later on the weekend. I swear my constant "yelling" (not really yelling as I'm being quiet as possible) is meaning noone in the house is getting a decent sleep but if I don't, they are ****ing running around the loungeroom touching **** and it is not set up for a baby (breakables and non touching things everywhere) which means the house isn't allowable for either of my children to just be up for any amount of time unsupervised due to DS1's learning difficulties. We have to keep everything as baby proof as possible for him. And did I mention I have to drive a huge distance in this condition?!?! I seriously feel like slapping the **** outta them or maybe knocking their heads together (not that I would ever do that) but this is how angry and sleep deprived I am. The worst thing anyone could do to me is deprive me of sleep and FFS, they are 5yrs and 20months. DS1 has been sleeping through for the past 5 yrs and DS2 the past year and now they are getting up at 2/3/4am and NOT GOING BACK TO ****ING BED!!!! If anything leads to AND/PND, it would be this and as mentioned prior, this is really not a place I wish to go back to. I already lost my kids once, I can't go through that again. My ms is also so much worse when I wake early which only serves to drain me further. I also have work today and have a work do with the bf that we are both looking forwards to (our first "date") I don't know how I am going to manage anything, let alone treating my kids decently today. I do not want anything to do with them AT ALL today. Want to curl up in a ball and sleep all day :'(
Thanks Cheshire and damprye private but chose public GP wond be on today so ill try hosp then my IVF clinic if needed
things seem to have changed now its dark brownish and mucusy, rang the hosp who said come in if its an alarming amount of blood. Well any amount is alarming! DS to nanas then to the hosp with DF :( thinking good thoughts
I'm sure it's all fine but it's always so scary.
Thinking of you today.
Big hug Greens. I hope the hospital listen and give you a scan for peace of mind. It is probably just from DTD, but Im wishing you luck and will be thinking of you. :hug:
:hug: Dampyre. Im having a similar morning. Not even 8am and Ive been up and down about 50 times. Giving me the poops. Hope they settle down for you and wishing you safe travels.
Calluna did they scan you at all? I know you were worried about the fluid levels.
:hug: Damp
