zstar - Glad that the one day at a time approach is working well for you. I too had constant nausea, but I did vomit every once in a while as well. It was hard having to go to work and pretend I felt fine. That was as draining as the actual m/s itself. For a while, weekends were strictly couch days for me - I needed the downtime. It is hard to enjoy pregnancy when you feel like crap all the time. It did affect my work for a while, but now that I'm over it I'm more productive than ever. I hope the medication is helping.
cantwaittobeamum - I am so sorry for the losses that have had to endure. Congratulations on our current pregnancy. May it be a sticky one
megsmum - Sorry that cough is still hanging around. Things are looking good, I hope the OB is right! Sending loads of labour vibes. I'm eagerly awating a birth announcement.
WTH - Wow, being told to eat more. That would be my dream come true. I'm hungry all the time, but am trying to make healthy choices so that I don't feel guilty for eating so much. Yay for buying for bubba.
greenslw - What an awesome boss you have! It's great to feel supported at work. I hope that the other staff can be just as happy for you and not make your remaining time more stressful. I hope the headaches ease soon. Panadol is fine to take during pregnancy.
lauren - I'm sure everyone is excited for you and will be supportive of you whatever happens. Its hard to find that balance between excitement and caution. My DH was really unwilling to tell anyone before 12 weeks so that motivated me to keep my mouth shut whenever I had the urge to tell. We've been robbed of the innocence that many get to experience with their pregnancies, so good on you for getting so excited that you felt you had to tell. Don't feel bad about wanting to celebrate this baby. Sorry the m/s is being hard on you. When I had m/s I could never really get rid of the nausea entirely, but I found that eating something small every hour or so helped to ease it. Also, I stayed well away from eating things I didn't feel like as forcing myself to eat things just because they were good for me only made me feel worse. I think I lived on green apples and crumpets for about 8 weeks. As long as you're taking vitamins bubs will be fine - he/she gets first dibs on any nutrients in your system.
josh'smum - Welcome and congratulations! Its great to see so many new faces here in recent weeks. Goodluck with the ultrasound
erybery - How did your appointment go?
babymiracles - Great to see you pop in so we get a peak at your ticker.
Easha - Glad you're settling in to your new place. Perhaps your BP will settle down now that the move is over. At least you don't have long to go at work.
possums - Great to see you. I know you'll be back here soon.
jenushka - How are you and miss L doing?
Meredith - Glad things are going along. Sorry the ultrasound didn't go well...hopefully bubs will be better behaved for the next one.
Mrs Hendo - I am so sorry for your losses. I really don't know what else to say....I hope WTH's info can be of use to you.
AFM - DH and I layby'ed the first items last weekend. Nothing big, just a portacot and a 'my little bed' so that bubs doesn't roll around in the cot. We also had a look at prams and think we have decided on the one we want. I hadn't planned to buy anything until 3rd trimester, but the sales are on now and this way we have more time to research and don't have to rush into things because we're running out of time.
