HI ladies,
here for my "weekly pop in".
Yep, I have decided that I just can't do it after work, so my chance to catch up with all my BB is on my day off!
Dory - I was thinking of you yesterday, how did it go? and how soon do you get your results? For what it's worth, I completely understand your decision, and I am keeping everything crossed for you!!!!
Oh and the emotional eater - me too
Elsielouise - yes MS is supposed to be a good sign, my GP thought it was fantastic how sick I was LOL!
Snugglybean - mm the work decision, I know that one, we are wondering the same thing. I have decided to stick it out (though I do wish I'd taken time off in weeks 9-11 when the MS was at it's absolute most horrible). We could do without the money in the short -medium term, but I will need to go back at some point, and if I leave then I might not have a job to go back to. So at this stage I am thinking of starting mat leave about 6 weeks before due date, and if things get too much, cutting back my hours. I have already said I can no longer do the long drives as they really wipe me out.
And the first trimester - well, I didn't enjoy it, I didn't get to feel happy and excited, just scared sh%#*less all the time. And it did seem to drag on forever, so I do hear you when you say 'how will I get through this' - the answer though, is you just do. And then at somepoint you will begin to feel excited and happy. For me it has taken to almost now. I hadn't even realised I'd entered the second trimester, because I was still too busy panicking!
Welcome Kermit, and congratulations!!!! I think it's normal to feel a bit conflicted, and I do beleive that you can grieve your angel while welcoming and being excited about your new bub, they are both valid emotions
Emma - :wave:
Millyd - another Milly!! :wave:
Thanks TK for sharing Bonham's news! Yay Bonham!!!
AFM - well now 16 weeks and I can finally say that this week the MS is starting to settle. I still start the day with a vommie, but I can cope with that, and usually have a bout of nausea mid morning & mid afternoon (good excuse to have biccies and potato chips for mornng/afternoon tea), but apart from that, I haven't had too many other vommies (unless I've been for a long drive), and, the even better news, is that I can eat! still quite plain food, but "food glorious food" none-the-less! There are still a few things that I can't come at (eg BBQ meat - my DH fave), but my DH and I have eaten dinner together all week now - the first time since about 6 weeks I think! And my vitamins stay down - I hope spud can still make use of them and it's not too late!
hi girls - thankyou for thinking of me and your words of support. The procedure went really well yesterday. I coped with not eating or drinking for 12 hours, something I thought would be impossible and wasnt sick from the anaesthetic. Feel a bit dusty today, but the bad insomnia I had last night wouldn't help there. Not too much pain or cramping and not too much bleeding. Some weird flushing of my skin around my chest, but no raised temperature or any other symptoms so I am not worried. I am lightheaded but its a common side affect apparently. Felt on top of the world after being discharged from hossy but a bit less so today. Dr was really happy with the procedure and said I could eat chocolate as its good for me. Bring on easter.
I don't have much to offer in the way of persies, but Milly5 - so glad you can finally break the shackles of m/s and can keep some glorious food down! Take care all.
