Congrats Smallfry
For me it's only just started really interupting my day and night.
ATM I have caught something gastro I think. I was so happy to see DP home from his trip then after tea my belly bloated to a balloon and i was sicker than I've ever been, thought it was MS but after spending the rest of the night on the loo it's not.... I just want to sleep. Dam clients, I poped into work, made sure I washed my hands but obviously it slipped through. Hope there's not a bad effect of pg.
Greenslw - Hope you are feeling better soon, make sure you keep your fluids up and if it hangs around see your doc.
Smallfry- I was running to the loo every 5 mins at the beginning aswell. It got better gradually, probably by about 12 weeks, then I had a good few weeks where I was normal and now Im back to the loo every 5 mins as bubs is kicking on my bladder!
erybery, thanks for the light at the end of the tunel Of course you expect to be like this when you get bigger but... I do remember reading a reason for early pg peeing - some hormone triggers it but I can't remember which one.
greenslw, doesn't sound pleasant. Rest up and maybe try some electrolyte drinks to help keep you hydrated. I find sometimes water doesn't help enough because it doesn't have anything for your stomach to digest if that makes sense?!
Smallfryplus, I thought water was the best thing but after talking to my clinic this morning I'm drinking purple sports drink. Icky but it's sitting better and minties they are really really helping. Things have settled but I don't want to eat.
Thanks erybery, I think being pg you panic loads more, I thought I had a fever, panic, I'm not eating panic, but after calming down, it's all back to normal (in my mind at least)
Well some good news...... I'm 8.1 weeks pregnant little bubba is one week more than I thought. 1.65cm and heart beating madly. I love my u/s photo's such a special moment. So that means count down to no more IVF drugs..... Finish on the 13/7 but I said the 14th sounds better. Brother and sister inlaw + nephews go home to Canada on the 13th don't need to worry about anything else.
greenslw, that's fabulous! 1 week further along!!! Glad you've got sports drinks now. They'll help a lot more. When I start getting dizzy from drinking too much water (even not preg!) I have to resort to sports drinks and elecrolyte drinks.
Greenslw - Congrats on the scan result Definitely go the sports drink if you have been sick or Gastrolye powder is good too, you want to replace not just the water but also the electrolytes you've lost. WTH has had gastro not so long ago, hopefully she will also pop in with some hints for you. I hope you feel a bit better soon. BTW, I found the sports drinks to be good when I had M/S, settled my tummy a little.
Smallfry - Congrats on your BFP and good luck for your BT. I didn't have it so much this time, but with DD I was making endless loo trips to pee Its quite normal and should go in several weeks time.
Meredith - So glad to hear you are plodding along, at least that means you aren't having any dramas! I know how you feel about the heavy and no energy unfortunately, its exactly how I feel now
Hi everyone else, hope you are all doing well
AFM, had my 32 wk ob appt today and all is looking great! I have found out the reason for my dizziness, which is the only problem I really have ATM, and it is low blood pressure - 95/55 for those in the know pretty low according to my ob. So at least I have an answer and our bub is in no danger, it just means that I will have to take it easy for the next couple of months.
Greenslw - wow, I'd love to be a week ahead than I thought!!!! Glad your scan went well and you have special pics to cherish and obsess over!
Megsmum - what is blood pressure supposed to be when you are pregnant? mines always between 120-130/90. Is that normal? The midwife and ob never mention anything about it, its just written on my card.
Meredith - do you think you'll be having the baby early?
