Well the doctor just called there and I am anemic...makes the dizziness and general tiredness make sense!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 13/03/2013 18:45

Oooh no wonder you've been feeling rough! Is it iron supplements then?

OP posts:
bluer · 13/03/2013 19:45

Yes! I've been taking a pregnancy supplement with iron but I've to get additional iron tablets too and hopefully I'll pick up....its not like me to miss work so i'm pleased to know that it wasn't just me being precious and\or lazy Grin

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 13/03/2013 19:51

Yes, Tis a medical reason!

OP posts:
JethroTull · 13/03/2013 21:26

Glad you've found out what's wrong Blue & good that it can be resolved.

Faith you must be exhausted!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 13/03/2013 21:30

Oh yes jeff. Shift 6 of 6 tomorrow. Today had been luxurious though, I must have spent 95% of it sitting down! :)

Lets now add difficulty breathing when lying on my back to the list of symptoms. Can I have this baybee now please? I'm a bit tired of growing it. I am quite mardy (poor MSB!).

How's the aches and pains jeff?

OP posts:
HavingALittleFaithBaby · 14/03/2013 19:56

I have pains...aching down the inner side of my right wrist, from my thumb down and on the inside of my right ankle. dor is this similar to what you have? It's very strange. Rather unpleasant too!

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 14/03/2013 21:27

Maybe. I have De Quervains tendonitis in my left wrist. Very painful. I thought it was getting better but it isn't :( Physio has started trying to treat it with acupuncture as well as everything else now!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 14/03/2013 22:00

I am a big fan of the needles. Spoke to the in house physio (aka my sister) who said it might just be exaggeration of RSI - well the hand is my dominant one and the leg is definitely not being used normally and I've had a niggly hip on that leg - due to my ligaments loosening. Good thing is I've already got any pain relief I need to hand (though I've just realised its 12 hours since I took any! Yay!).

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 14/03/2013 22:37

Any problems I have all seem to be down my left hand side. At the moment I have a sore thumb, sore shoulder and sore left knee.

I feel like I am falling apart a bit at a time!

JethroTull · 15/03/2013 08:03

Is this generally what happens to differs? The falling apart bit?!

I'm fine thanks Faith. Think it was stress related. Had a manic week at work which culminated in doing a massive pitch presentation yesterday in London. Got home at half 9 & went straight to sleep. Had the best nights sleep all week & have woken up feeling like a different person. Grin

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 15/03/2013 09:22

Yes jeff, I think it's just such a massive strain on the body! I mean the body is clever in that it gets you prepped for birth by loosening your hip joints but it loosens everything else too! Plus you're carrying all the weight up front.

I'm really pleased to hear you're feeling better jeff and that you slept well. I know I was really suffering and feeling like crap and wasn't sure I'd finish work. 3 days after the doc gave me antibiotics and a few days rest and I felt like a different woman!

Well operation shift the Pickle seems to be working. Spent some time on the ball the last two nights and the big lump has moved round to the other side! I will persevere! :)

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 15/03/2013 20:44

I feel very sad tonight. Why do I feel sad? Ruddy hormones.

OP posts:
MsJupiterJones · 15/03/2013 21:46

Are you watching Comic Relief?

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 15/03/2013 21:54

Um, yes, on and off....that's not what made me sad though. I can pinpoint it...to when we realised the new dishwasher we had delivered was dented. We are getting a replacement but somehow that not going the way I expected has made me :(

Have we met Jupiter? Are you a NChanger?!

I am now annoyed too. I have a friend who had a baybee in December. I have strong suspicions she was an instadiffer (she got diffed just as she handed in her dissertation and I imagine she had it all meticulously planned) Hmm She is making comments on my FB posts about having baybees...all this Ooh you don't know what you're in for/Enjoy the peace while you can!. She knows we TTC'd for a long time. I know nothing can really prepare us for our world being turned upside down but actually I'm ready for it. I've been waiting to be a Mum for years. AIBU to be really wound up by her comments?

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 15/03/2013 21:59

Just tell her to fuck off Faithy :)

I had loads of people tell me that sort of stuff and it really wound me up.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 15/03/2013 22:04

She's a good friend. I don't think she realises how smug and superior she sounds!

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 15/03/2013 22:24

Tell her then.

I am watching Comic Relief and sobbing my way though it. It feels so different this year. I think of my beautiful, strong and healthy boy asleep in the next door room and seeing those beautiful children on the screen makes my heart break.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 15/03/2013 22:30

I'm finding it too much. I'm watching Huge Ackman instead. Yum.

I'm rather inclined to hide baby related statuses from her for a bit not that I do that many I'm certainly not in a place to be confrontational tonight.

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 15/03/2013 23:06

I have just realised that a year ago yesterday I had my hycosy and started on Clomid.

JethroTull · 16/03/2013 07:40

I watched a bit of comic relief but there wasnt really a comic side to it. Dor why did watching it this year feel different to any other?

Faithy hope you are feeling ok today? Just hide her posts, you have enough to deal with, without other people telling you how you should feel.

I have a massive cold sore. Probably related to all the work stress of this week. Meh.

MsJupiterJones · 16/03/2013 07:53

Oops. Tis I, Blonder. Just experimenting.

It is sometimes when those householdy things go wrong when you think, Really?? and it can get you down I find. Dishwasher that broke the camel's back. Not that you're a camel! Also hormones. Hope this morning is brighter and better. Thanks

Can I be honest Blush and say I thought you were being humorous with your status about being on holiday? I don't know what else she has commented on but presume hers was one of those comments. Tis very annoying when people are smug and knowing about parenthood esp when instadiffed so I'm sure you are justified but she may have thought she was joining in on a joke? I nearly put a response myself but glad I didn't. Wink ThanksThanksThanks

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 16/03/2013 08:13

I was bring humorous! But technically, I have 4 weeks annual leave before I actually go on mat leave so officially it is holiday. The other week though I put about sleeping for 11 hours and again I got a Enjoy it while you can!. I felt like replying, Why? Does having a baybee leave you sleep deprived?! :) MSB just keeps telling me to let it go.

I feel a bit like a camel...or maybe a penguin. I'm better after sleeping.

I quite like the NC joops.

jeff you are in the horrible zone where you feel under the weather all the time added in with being stressed at work. Hopefully you'll feel better in your second trimester!

OP posts:
MsJupiterJones · 16/03/2013 08:52

Ah I see... Fuck 'er then.

Not sure if I will keep this moniker or keep searching. This one might be too identifiable to any RL spies

We have our first baby cold atm so lots of snuffly wakefulness. Also he is trying to type something on my phone. Possibly A-goo-oo-ha-ah as that's mostly what he says. Maybe he's saying hi to Pickle?

Love to all the PESH Thanks

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 16/03/2013 09:45

Ah poor boy with the snuffles! Pickle is only just waking up. To be fair, I got a (very random) call at nearly midnight from someone I haven't seen in years. No idea how he even got my number? Course being woken by the phone gave me an adrenaline rush which sent Pickle crazy! I had to put my phone on Do not disturb cos the idiot tried to ring me again (even though I said 'I'm pregnant and I'm knackered, please go away!'.
