Murray and Forshelby Restless legs are very common in pregnancy. Although I don't know how to fix them so I'm not much help.
Just had to say I had a quick peak at bub last night with the work scanner after idiot me couldn't find its heartbeating with a doppler because its to early lol anyway bub still in there looking good. So I was very happy last night )
timeforafamily i know how you feel sometimes it feels like a dream that your going to wake up from.
AFM i cant believe i hit 21 weeks still no movement and have a question i was reading that my utures (sorry for the spelling ) should be an inch above my belly button and its not is that normal i mean i just hit 21 weeks today.
My little step daughter said to me last night you look pregnant your belly looks the same as when you were pregnant with Abbi i had to lie and tell her i have just put on a bit of weight we should have been able to tell her by now.
All my boys know we had to tell them after all the phone calls from the geneticist about the stuff up with the cvs and DH going off about their carelessness the boys didnt really react much just said OH! when will you find out if this baby is ok it was sad to see no excitement from them.
My mother in law is comming up to stay for a week and we have to tell her we have no results she will be upset and we had to cancel our trip to melbourn to see DH's dad as we have to many appointments in oct.
Murrycod-cant help with the restless legs i havnt slept well for weeks my brain just wont stop racing and thinking about all the possible senerio's that could happen if we werent pregnant i know a JD's or 2 would relax us.
Ferals4 - I don't know how you manage. It must add an entire new, but difficult dimension explaining or trying to protect kids from this. big hugs to you.
timeforafamily - thanks for the dvd tip. to be honest this last week feels like it has been going for months already for me. but I will give it a try.
AFM - I have cramps like AF is coming, makes it a hard to relax really, such early days. 'sigh'.
Somebody please reassure me that all of this hacking, coughing, and cold sickness is not harming the baby 'cause I am freaking out.
Get this-- I was "supposed" to be at a work function (a social "tea") on my day off-- the parishioner who called said that she called me "to check up" on me, but then she laid on a guilt trip-- I was apparently expected to be there, expected --even though it was my regular day off-- SCREAM-- I was so frustrated, and even after telling her that I have been sick for four days straight...she still managed to say that I should have RSVP'd-- really, for God's sake (and I mean that) It was my one day off and my hubby and I had plans (which didn't happen 'cause I was on the couch hacking up a storm) But goodness gracious, I was so ungodly angry because I felt like I couldn't even be sick! I really didn't need the guilt trip...
Sorry for dumping. Please be nice to people in serving professions; we are only human beings!
Yikes! Really quiet here! Just posting to say sorry for venting in previous post. Things went well today...and I am feeling more "normal." Still coughing though. Ugh.
15 weeks tomorrow (Monday)! Hurrah!
KMM-- How are you doing now???
ForShelby and Murraycod-- I got the restless leg thing before I was pregnant-- I do a kind of meditation where you flex each muscle beginning with your foot, and you work up each leg slowly and then repeat. Or sometimes I just get up at night and walk around. It's really a pain though.
Hey sunshine, glad you are feeling better. I'm quite sure that coughing won't hurt bubs, but take care of you! Try, where you can to engage your pelvic floor and brace your TAs before you cough so you don't do too much damage down there!
I had the most ridiculous night's sleep last night. Took me ages to get to sleep, woke up two hours later for the loo, and was wide awake, so decided to fold some washing while I was up, and write a letter to DH's grandmother and mine, went back to bed, finally got comfy, needed the loo again, got up, went to the loo, went back to bed, baby had an epic disco party, which was really quite cute and very entertaining. Finally got to sleep, woke up again with leg cramps, had to get up to stretch, went back to bed, and what flt like 10 minutes later, DH's alarm went off for work. Definitely need a nap today!
Sunshine-I had whooping cough really bad with Abbi's pregnancy i even cracked a rib from coughing and vomiting so bad it didnt bother her in the slightest and she was a really sick baby with an extremely bad heart so dont worry but like Audax said the pelvic floor will cope the damage if you dont hold them tight when you cough my pelvic floor is really good after a few kids and i will be damed if i let a cough ruin it so dont forget to pull up an squeeze and hold then cough.
Thanks Ferrals and thanks Audax-- That's very reassuring to know. Oh, my DH and I were wondering what TA's are. Here in the US, T and A is a slang term (won't say it, 'cuz it might get me banned) but I wasn't sure what body part I was supposed to be "holding in"...LOL. Going to need to practice those kegels-- cause when I cough, I don't have any control of anything down there ! That was probably too much info. Anyway, thanks, for the how-to!
