Clairesmummy - congrats on your BFP - and your PREGNANCY!!!! I am so very happy for you.
Bec - welcome and congrats on your happy news.
Melster - you know I believe you have found some more peace - your recent post just shone like a beacon of happiness... yay!
Ferals - sorry that things are so tough - I remember when Mowgli arrived in your house! It was soooooo exciting. Sorry the little fur baby is sick.....
Tegam - it's so good to see you posting! I had no idea that the start of your preg with Molly was exceptionally stressful.... I am so glad she's here - little precious girl.
Dampyre - I don't remember ever having a feeling like that when I sneeze. About feeling dizzy and run down and nauseated? I used to feel that way a lot.... I used to find in early preg a berocca helped me as did making sure I always had high energy snacks like dried fruit, nuts, museli bars and I also made sure I drank a lot of water too... but maybe check with the pharmacist before you take berocca if you are also taking preg supplements? I used to take both... but berocca does make your pee go fluro yellow! A bit of a shock at first! Hope you feel better and get through your shifts.
Forshelby - GL with the new phone..... it takes me soo long to master new technology. I am about due for a new phone as the current one is slowly breaking apart... arghh ... learning how a new one works will be painful and frustrating. But lots of fun once I work it out.
AFM - bit glum today. My brother turned 50 yesterday but he had a fall in the shower, cracked his head, split his lip, gashed his leg and wrist. He started to vomit blood as the party started so off to the hossy for him. Can you believe as he stopped vomiting at the hossy they didn't give him any antienemtic meds? And of course once home again he started to vomit again. He has an acquired brain injury and can't really get around himself or manage his health by himself. I am soooo annoyed. At least he might have been a bit more comfortable if he wasn't vomiting. I am off to see a neurologist on Wednesday. Have been having some funny warming sensations ( which I think is called neuropathy) in my feet which is progressing to my legs, and arms and hands. Will have a whole heap of tests done, to try and find out what is the cause. Seems from Dr Google ( LOL) it can be caused by some serious stuff and also some not so serious stuff... like too much vit b6. Oh well, at least it's a step in the right direction to get to the bottom of it. I suppose I feel glum because on top of all that, I still have a dreaded cold, after 2 week... though it is getting better and I am generally feeling much better, guess it's just the emotional stuff bringing me down.
Belly rubs to all you gorgeous pregnant godesses doing the bestest thing in the world - growing a baby.
Aww dory your poor brother. i hope he recovers quickly, and same goes for you with your cold. Good luck with your strange symptoms too. Hopefully its nothing to worry about.
Afm- I had one of those random bad nights sleep, and am so exhausted today. But being the cool auntie I am (lol) I promised to make pancakes for breakfast. So after doing that, I'm wiped out! Later on we're doing nails and hair and all that girlie stuff. That is if i can sit up long enough to pull off a braid.
Thanks for the well wishes.... I am feeling less sorry for myself today... but it was really helpful to read your encouraging words. Thanks!
Forshelby - you ARE a fab auntie - hope the braids went well.... those poor sleeps when pregnant are exhausting... guess your little squashie was pulling an all nighter? Must have had a big assingment due - like growing eyelashes or just putting on some lard.....
Hey girls! Wow i was a looong way behind! After 1.5hrs of reading... i think i have caught up! But now i think i have forgotten some stuff!! Agh preggy brain!
Clairesmummy! Congratulations! So happy to hear of your BFP! Whoo hooo! xx
Millyd - I am so sorry to hear what you have been thru, I remember being in the other thread with you an had oftern wondered how you were going. How did your 2nd scan go?
Dory - Sorry to hear about your brother, thats so awful for him!!
Ferrals - Poor Mowgli! How is she tooday?
Possum - lovely possum, im so excited to read your scan went well!!! It put a huge smile on my face!
Melstar -good luck for your scan today! Enjoy every second of it!! Will be thinking of you!
Matthewsmum - always welcome to sneak in! How are you going with everything? xx
Reet - your u/s pic is too cute! looks like bubby is playing peek a boo!
Mildez - love the new avi!!!
Sorry for everything and everyone i missed!
AFM - All well here - cant beleive i am 18wks tomorrow! Never thought i would get here! We have our morph scan in 14 sleeps! So so excited! I started swimming last week, just gentle laps at the local pool and I feel so good for it! DH comes with me, he is not much of a lap swimmer so he just practices his somersaults and doggy padel in the public lane! LOL! So funny to see a 31 y/old playing around like a 10 y/old! He is gunna be the best dad! Then when its tiem to get out, he races over and grabs my towel for me cause im paranoid about ppl seeing my cellulite! hehhehe!
Im having a lot of pain when i wee but not like a UTI pain, been happening for a few weeks and worst overnight and now have pain in my left kidney area. My back area just aches and aches over night. My bladder doesnt seem to be emptying proply either, 2 mins after i wee, i feel like there is more, but its always just a little dribble!
Anyone have anything like this?
Anyway, im back at work today so i guess i better do some work!!!
Dory- lol! Probably working on the lard assignment judging by my rapid belly growth. So good to hear you're feeling better.
T-hopes- That really sounds like the beginnings of a uti to me. I've had them before and it didn't always burn etc but all the other symptoms were present like you've been experiencing. Time to bust out the cranberry juice and get stuck into some water. I hope it gets better fast!
I agree with forshelby about the UTI T-hopes. Cranberry juice is brilliant and the more water you have the more likely your bladder is always filling and I found it stopped the pain. Also those probiotics you can get from the chemist (innerhealth plus type thing) have helped me a lot in the past and they are ok for pregnancy according to my chemist. HTH
Thanks girls - Ive had plenty of UTI's before but this feels very different so im not too sure?? But definatly worth starting the cranberry juice in case! Thanks again xx
Thank you everyone for the congrats and happy bday wishes. I am soooooooooooooo excited to be in here with you all and hopefully I will be in here now for the next 8months. I have been pretty moody lately though getting grumpy with DH for no real reason even to the point of me telling him if he can't make it to my DRs appointment this afternoon it won't matter.....oooppssss my bad. He got cranky with me then and said if I can't be with you for this I might as well not be a part of any of it, he got his point across to me anyhow...like BIG time. So now I feel really bad for saying it to him. But ah well I will deal with that and get over it and TRY to keep my mood swings to a minimum for us all. I can remember being like this with DD all moody and grumpy then I went to crying like a baby over nothing at all. Fun times ahead for us all but definately ALL worth it in the end. Anyhoo sorry for the all about me post ladies.
Dory~ I hope you brother is ok darl, sending him some get well wishes. And hope you are feeling better soon darl, hugs to you and Hannah, she is just very very adorable.
Forshelby~ So great to be able to catch up with you again, can I expect some of those stories you put in the TTC thread? They are awesome reads or are you working on that book? How are you and your little bub going? Not long now and I will be reading your BA, wow how time flies by.
And I just need to say- OMG I AM PREGNANT.....lol....how awesome os that. WOOO HOOOOO.
Just a quickie for t-hopes and ill be back later!!
I was talking to a midwife the other day and telling her my fears of going into labour prematurely and she said the number 1 reason for having ur baby early is UTI's but no1 really gets told this. She said every few days pg ladies shld have a tsp of bicarb soda mixed in water (yuck!) to neutralise things and to help prevent UTI's and also another way to prevent them is to make sure u pee after sex everytime. It freaked me out a little cos i thought i was getting one last week wen i cldnt stop peeing heaps but only little amounts... things seem to be ok now. Im not telling u this to freak u out but i think its something worth knowing!! Bust out that ural (or bicarb soda) and cranberry juice just incase! xx
I went and had another bhcg done becasue I was so stressed and it's 2313 at 5w 1 or 2d, up from 227 6 days ago, so it doubling nicely! My lovely GP said I can have as many BT as I like (I'm having another on Wednesday) and he'll arrange a scan for me for later in the week now that hcg is high enough. He's brilliant my GP!!!
ok i swear i wrote an email yesterday but its not here..im either going crazy or i posted it in the wrong section......must have baby brain
Scan went well yesterday. 163beats. downs 1.50. measuring a bit ahead..13.4 days..so 15th July..and she said she couldnt see any bleeding or anything like that and things looked ok....so thats a huge relief...
But i was a bit bummed i couldnt enjoy it very much.....im so sick of the ex and the skids...its seriously doing my head in and its much of why i feel upset all the time. The ex has got her self arrested again for domestic voilence.....GREAT..this is what the 3rd arrest in a few months....the skids have been in trouble with the police and are obviously running a muk....at our house that would have never happened..they were nearly angels..well maybe not that far but you know what i mean....and i cant hack it anymore....we had out scan yesterday and if i hadnt of said CHOOSE..he would have gone to those kids...i know there his kids and he needs to look after them...but its becoming a joke...its every day, every week, every month there is some upheval and there coming and going and everytime changing our lives..and i need to think of my dd and my unborn babies health..the stress is too much..and all because this woman has no morals. takes no responsibilty and is a complete moron...she thinks and knows she can control my hubby and there is not a thing i can do about it..she knows she can get to him through the kids........so i have had to be really tough and i have had to put my kids first and i have given him a choice....he either starts putting this family first and protecting us or thats it...i had bad back ache last night so i hope its nothing to do with the stress....its been seven years of hell and i have stuck by him and let the kids live with us but enough is enough letting another woman control and dictate our lives...hubby has to make a stand otherwise she will keep doing it.... im so hormonal and so over it...what about my family
Bec..im glad things are looking good..
Ill do persies again after i get some work done...
