I'm seriously considering going to bed now. It's not even half 8 yet.

greengoose · 09/10/2011 20:34

HI Carty, sorry to say, but my Gp told me it was a nono to use water bottle during pregnancy, as I got stomach aches when preg with DS2. That may have just been his opinion, but Id be careful, as you are always told to be careful of having too hot baths etc, which is kind of the same thing. Sorry!

Carty80 · 09/10/2011 21:00

Ok thanks greengoose, I won't risk it then. Off to watch Downton now, stop thinking about pregnancy for an hour!

Kayzr Enjoy your sleep

Rrrrayray · 09/10/2011 21:18

kayzr also super sleepy here.

carty wow, we are close. Currently in Titchfield near fareham, but new house in Wellow! Good for you and the boob job.

working9 I know, when those around you are miscarrying & / or struggling to conceive you feel so nervous about it all. Am certainly a hundred times more apprehensive about it this time round than first time.

Off to catch up on xfactor (and almost certainly fall asleep)

girlofice · 09/10/2011 21:26

Wow, what a lot to catch up on!

Welcome and congratulations to all the newcomers!

TDW When I was pregnant second time round, I went through the same feelings, how will I cope with 2 (and 2 under 2), how will I cope with getting both of them ready for, and into bed on my own (DH also used to work away alot, but thankfully has a new job now, which means that he's based at home alot more). But, somehow I did it, and you will too. The first 6 months were the easiest for me, before DS2 was mobile, but now it is a little more challenging as he just ploughs through whatever DS1 is playing with!
Now my next challenge is going back to work next week and getting us all up, fed, dressed and out by 8am. Hmm

working9while5 those MWs don't sound the most caring of people. Could you talk to your GP about which mw you have? Or is there a community mw in your area?

Starlight my second birth was also a whole lot better than my first, so I'm hoping that it gets easier each time Wink

Carty80 paracetamols are absolutely fine all the way through (about the only thing that is). Not sure about the hot water bottle though

greengoose hope those pains aren't anything more than just a bit of movement. I've been having crampy periody feelings in my tummy and back. I'm just hoping that it's just things stretching out and making a bit of room.

Rrrrayray I have friends in Titchfield too. I lived in Southsea for 10 years before heading a bit further north.

No other symtoms as yet (when should I start worrying that I'm not having any, or should I just be grateful :) other than extreme tiredness when I'm driving.

I am feeling a bit anxious this time, more than last time, about telling people as all 3 DCs will be so close in age and I'll only have been back at work for 7 months before I have to go off again. I didn't tell work until I was 18 weeks last time (I managed to keep it hidden from them) and I'm hoping I will be able to do the same again this time, but that's dependant on when I start to show I guess.

Looking forward to getting to know you all Smile

StarlightMcKenzie · 10/10/2011 05:43

Hmm, well I NEVER look pregnant, just a bit chubby. It is great because I never have to buy maternity clothes and I will get away from people's comments and that wierd obsession of touching the bump, but not so great because no-one offers me a seat on public transport.

Having said that, the only times I NEEDED seats in the last two pregancies was in the first trimester when standing often made me feel dizzy and sick.

Not a great start here either. Last night was unbearable, the pain was shocking.. was awake from 3 to 4.30 and wondering what was happening.. obvious thoughts are obviously mc, but it is so hard to describe, it feels just exactly as I felt after I had my boy.. From a bit of random googling and a few paranoid moments about ectopics etc, it really does look to me the grand self-diagnoser like sacroiliac joint pain because I can't turn in bed and I can't lift my legs to put on my socks etc. All posterior though, none at front, nothing menstrual, no spotting.

Have booked in with GP this morning which is a PAIN workwise as I have a million and one things to do but I felt I'd better go get a referral to physio and have the once over from someone who actually has some training to diagnose me, rather than leave my fate in the hands of google. Unhelpfully, though, also read online that basically in 9 systematic reviews of 1350 patients with this type of pain physio basically did SOD ALL. The internet is a great but sometimes terrible thing, I feel...

A good day to all x

working9while5 · 10/10/2011 08:52

Sorry. Obviously wrote obviously too much there, obviously.

Dalrymps · 10/10/2011 09:21

ladygrace poor you with the thrush Sad hope it clears up soon.

9till5 sorry about the pain, I hope the internet is wrong and the physio does help.

Not many symptoms hereHmm I'll be 6 weeks on thurs. Not sure whether to enjoy it whilst it lasts (nausea started at 6 weeks last time) or worry about lack of symptoms!

Kveta · 10/10/2011 09:32

hey all, working that sounds horrific - hope the GP can help you.

I am also knackered, keep waking up at 3am, which is a pain! especially as I then can't get back to sleep, and DS is up at 5 and talking at us! Oh well, at least with a 2nd child I will hopefully get all the sleepless nights out of the way in one easy to manage 6 year period. Hmm

I made the midwife appt today - so next thursday. I haven't done this before as was pg with DS in the States, so 1st appt was with a Doctor, who prodded me all over then did an internal scan, so I saw DS at 9 weeks. Obviously, this being the NHS, I will get told I'm overweight, midwife will examine my pee, and that will be that :o however, I will at least be in the system. Now, just to hold onto the pregnancy until next week!

I'm thinking I should go and get some new bras too, as I'm still wearing my nursing bras, which are 2 years old, and quite frankly in a shocking state! We had no washing machine for 4 months (we moved into a new house this year, which needed extensive rennovation!), and industrial launderette style washers and dryers do not agree with delicate lingerie!!

hope you're all enjoying monday so far :o

Carty80 · 10/10/2011 10:32

Working Sounds horrible, hope you get it sorted quickly and the pain eases off.

Vix My sister is law is a homeopath and she gave me tablets in previous pregnancies to help with sleep. Now, I know that most of the time I managed sleep whilst I could get comfy but whether it is down to that or not, I don't know, but am happy to try anything!

Apart from sore boobs no symptoms here but only 4 weeks so I expect I have a few weeks grace before they hit me. Have just booked the midwife to see her at 9 weeks, hope they time goes quick! Not getting pain but just crampy feelings like before AF due and trying to remember if I got these with DC which I am sure I did but every twinge you worry about! Knicker checking all the time too!

Have a good Monday.xx

MyMamaToldMe · 10/10/2011 11:32

Morning all - and hello to all the newbies! :)

I'm also another non sleeper! So annoying as I am so tired!

However, I should be grateful that I don't have pains like you Working - sounds awful - hope they are able to help you.

Tell me - am I just supposed to book in with a midwife? Not the dr? Asking as I have a dr app tomorrow - don't want to waste their time if its not necessary.

I had a bit of a blip yesterday. Pretty sure its just pregnancy hormones, but all of a sudden I started questioning what we were doing in having a 2nd baby?? Started to think about all those endless nights of getting up to feed, the weaning, the nappies and how on earth I was going to be able to deal with 2 children!! Then I can on here and read that some of you are going through this too, and started to feel much better! Working thanks for the link to the book - I've ordered it!

No other symptoms other than sore boobs. However, in my last pregnancy, at week 7 MS kicked in for 10 weeks, so I am enjoying (healthy) food now - just in case! I totally went off food after the MS kicked in last time, so much so that I ended up losing 2 stone during my pregnancy! I was amazed my DD was the size she was! It really did prove to me that you don't need to eat for 2 as I wasn't even eating for 1! Great diet - pity I put it all back on again after DD was born! Blush

Carty80 I'm also getting mega headaches and know for sure that you can take paracetamol.

Kayzr · 10/10/2011 12:37

MyMama I think it varies place to place. I have to book in with the doctor first here, I don't know why as they just work out due date and tell me to go to reception and make appointment with midwife for about 8 weeks.

mrsshears · 10/10/2011 16:43

Afternoon all
well sorry to come on and moan but i feel rubbish today!
I'm completely exhausted and have alternating feeling sick and then hungry,i've also been asleep for 2 hrs this afternoonBlush.
I suppose its all a good sign really though,i'm trying to make mysel feel better by looking at prams online(bit of a pram junkie),anyone had a stokke?they look fab but if we got one it would have to be a second had one as the cheapest i've seen is £600Shock
Far to early days for all this,fun thoughGrin

Kayzr · 10/10/2011 17:01

I've been asleep too Mrsshears I'm really glad I'm not the only one looking at prams already. I love prams

MyMamaToldMe · 10/10/2011 17:31

Envy at mrsshears8 and Kayzr* being able to nap!

Kayzr · 10/10/2011 19:03

I'm really hot. DP and the boys are saying they're cold so it's just me.

Kayzr · 10/10/2011 20:20

I've just had some spotting when I wiped (sorry tmi)
AF isn't meant to come til tomorrow but I tested early. Now I'm thinking they were all wrong Sad

working9while5 · 10/10/2011 21:29

Too early to tell Kayzr, I had a lot of this in early pg, hope it works for you x

Kayzr · 10/10/2011 21:42

I only have short cycles. 24 days usually so I'll only be about 3 weeks plus 4 days today. So I'm really hoping it's implantation maybe.
