The most addictable TTC and waiting to TTC thread on the whole of MN - enter at own risk, I can't promise the wagoners will behave!

Playing - good point. Is there a fan somewhere in your office? That might help a bit..

Nat - just texted sis to say 'ok'. Feel bad saying no and if the government says mackerel is safe, must be true.

Thanks ladies. I am trying to drink plenty of water and eating fairly regularly. Fresh air would be lovely but its much hotter and muggier outside then it is inside. Its really hot and humid today.

Playing - lots of water, open windows, or take 5 outside in the fresh air, temple massage?...

I've had to tell work Cal. I am currently completely shit at my job due to feeling rubbish most of the time. My boss notice my work output and quality decreased, I really had to come clean. I am so glad I did, he has been really nice and it helps that he knows. No one else at work knows yet but I am sure they will find out soon enough. Think I've got to a point now (offically 8 weeks according to the wheel) where if I mc it will be a nasty affair and won't be able to hide it anyway so I might as well tell people if they guess. DH and I have now developed the policy of if people ask we tell, if not we don't say anything. Suprising few people have asked outright yet.

i have constant headaches on and off playing i try not to take anything and they seem to go on there own and i am the same as you before i got pregnant would have to have cococodamol as paracetemol didnt work

Oo just found this on www.direct.gov.uk/en/Parents/HavingABaby/HealthInPregnancy/DG_4002857 re: things you can eat.

fish (two servings a week, including oily fish like sardines and mackerel - ensure fresh tuna consumption does not exceed two servings per week)

Looks like it's OK

Ok ladies - I could do with good ways to get rid of a headache. I know I can take paracetamol (sp?) but a) I don't have any and I'm sure we only have neurofen here and b) I often find plain paracetamol not that effective.

hi

Just googled it and a couple of sites say to avoid it....Oh bum! It is going to look weird enough that I'm not drinking....

Cals - we too are having the 'when to tell dilemma'. It is already getting tricky. Going to sister's this weekend and she just texted to say do we want to go mackerel fishing and then have bbq on the beach with what we catch. Not sure if I'm allowed to eat mackerel coz of mercury etc... Does anyone know. If not, I'm prob going to have to tell her as it will look really rude if I say 'we don't want to go fishing'.....

GYo / Cosmo, I missed your posts earlier with all my rambling chit chat! Glad I'm not on my own re bloated tum!

I have no idea about when to tell work and am sat here feeling really, really guilty. There is a new guy starting next week with experience in the area I look after (no-one else in the dept. has and its quite complex) so he'd be ideal to pick up, it takes about 9 months to get going normally so the ideal situation would be for him to come in and start on my area straight away, it also means less confusion for the wider business, telling them he will be looking after one thing, but then going on to change it in a few months time. BUT DH is adamant I shouldn't be telling anyone yet - I think I'll make him do some research and tell me when he does think its OK to announce it!

We've got a beach party booked with all our mates at the end of august (Bank Holiday weekend) which I will be TOTALLY rumbled at!) but I think he wants to wait until then.

I really want to tell my mum and grandma coz grandma is really poorly and think it will give her something else to look forward to and to chat about . I only hope that she will hang on until its born - its one of the key reasons I wanted to get pg sooner rather than later.

Thanks Nat. Just had 2 richtea and some water and nagging feeling has passed a bit.

Did someone say the thread had been quiet

I'd forgotten about aquanatal classes - I'm going to start them earlier this time around for sure!

NJ - I posted about it on the Dec thread as my EDD had been moved so was crossing between the two a bit -

Lubella - glad you're feeling well, I've not posted for ages but I've been reading all the posts - I got fed up of feeling like I was always complaining and saying the same old things....still being sick and i'm now nearly 31 weeks...can't wait till LO is born so that it can all be over!

I spent three days in hospital a couple of weeks ago due to severe abdo pain, which they think is down to a damaged oesophagus and stomach from ott heartburn - I thought what i had was normal but apparently not! - I'd love a curry....just can't do it...I'm also off chilli which is disappointing as I really love mexican food....

But apart from that, I feel remarkably well, I went to my first aquanatal class today and feel like I actually did some exercise, so whilst i'm tired, I kind of feel energised...my joints feel better anyway - can't explain...will therefore stop waffling!

Cal

Hi Kaybee!!! Thanks! How are you doing?

Are you sure there's nothing wrong with comfy tracky bottoms - at potentially only 5 weeks gone?? I think maybe I'm a fat git!

I know it lets loose earlier in subsequent pg's, does it let even looser if first birth was by CS? I already have a belt of tub around my middle so that's probably not helping.

My heartburn is really quite worrying - I suffered really badly in my last pg, ended up on morphine in AN at 29 weeks, I was in so much pain they thought I was passing gall stones at first! Turned out all the acid reflux had damaged my tubes . Its not that bad now clearly, but its been picking up the pace over the last few days for sure.
