April 2007 - part II...

[geordiemacminx]

Not that I profess to have a brain of any sorts but here is a new thread as requested!!

ooo saag aloo yum. And onion bhajee. And lots of mango chutney and that yoghurt dip stuff. Hungreeeee!

to get the emoticons - you need to use those bracket things - I can't find them on my keyboard - what do I use to get a face? Need embarrased for home makeover confession!

omg I forgot the onion bhajees with lemony/yoghurt dip - I need it NOW!

Yum Yum Yum to all curry suggestions!! I'm supposed to be going for a curry on Friday night, but at the rate I am going with this bloomin' bug, I don't think I am going to make it.

I had v.bad MS for about 16ish weeks with DD1, and my MS lasted about 2 weeks (weeks 8-9, I think) with DD2, this is different, not as bad as the MS I had with DD1, but worse and more constant than MS with DD2. Yuk Yuk Yuk!!

CD isn't it weird how ms can be so different with each pregnancy - would love to understand the logic behind it. Am deffo suffering more this time than with dd, and can't face meat/fish (hence much needed protein) right now. If I had it my way it'd be chips all the way - very bad in every respect.

Would really love something curryfied now, but I ate the last 2 poppadoms in the cupboard. No real food in the house as can't face going shopping or even opening fridge to put stuff away. Isn't it ironic that at the time when we should be eating really healthily we are all just craving crap!

ok , ok ,ok at extrememakeover. no excuses for it or for crying at Americas / Britains next top model...

living tv has a lot to answer for as i sit with my laptop........

I wanted Abigail to win - didn't like Lianna at all!

emmymummy - I can't open the fridge, dishwasher or bin without being sick - and not been food shopping for ages - thank goodness for dh - the boys would starve otherwise! I think that when you feel really bad baby is having a growth spurt - taking even more than usual- greedy guts!

Have a nice day everyone - have 3 hours on my own this morning - veg out time!

Good morning lovley fellow pregnant ladies :-)

I'd better not come on here again in the morning as all I can think about now is eating Mexican and Curry!!!! (I am thankfully not feeling MS this morning).

Thank you for all the lovley supportive messages after my last post, it realy helps to know that I'm not the only one who is feeling pretty crappy.
I have to say I do think i am slowly turning the corner...had a set back on Monday when my Dad's fiance was rushed into hospital with a perforated ulcer and was in surgery until the wee small hours of tuesday morning. She is recovering and we are just thankful that they found out what was wrong with her as I have never seen anyone in so much pain. Also on Monday I had the worst day I have ever had at work...basically three patients had passed away over the weekend, two of them in tragic circumstances and it really really upset me as I was unlucky enough to be the one who received all the phone calls from the relatives on Monday morning. So after that I think I had a "watershed" on Monday afternoon, hardly slept a wink all night Monday and ended up just sitting up thinking at 3am on Tuesday morning that it surely cannot get much worse!
I definatley felt better yesterday, despite tiredness and I actually for the first time in ages felt like doing some housework (faint). I also went and had my eyes tested and got myself 2 nice funky new pairs of glasses as a treat as I have been feeling like the biggest frump ever.
I had a cracking nights sleep last night (only had one loo stop instead of the usual 4) and I even managed to "go" this morning (sorry if TMI but have been so bunged up .

So here's hoping!!! I got my scan date through - 11th October at 2pm...and my hubby is away on a course that he has no way of getting out of....boooo hisss.
To be honest I don't mind, I just feel for him as he is so disappointed. Just slightly worried that if there is some less than good news I will be there on my own (my Mum is away on hols then too...)

CaptainDippy - I hope you are feeling slightly better today ..it's bad enough without being ill on top of everything else isn't it!

My top tip for relief of MS has to be hot water and lemon - I am drinking loads of it as I cannot stomach tea or coffee and I really do seem to feel more human in the mornings...of course this could just be a coincidence but I am 10 + 5 today so still in the MS "zone".

As for names...I always change my mind but at the moment I really like Robyn for a girl and I like Robert for a boy so bumpis "bob" either way!

Oh well I've gotten away with a stolen half hour on here...DS is now demanding that "mummy come and watch Tikkabilla" JOY!!!
Oh well I'm off to watch Sarah Jane (grrrrrr hate her!) and Justin.
Have a good day everyone
Cath you later

MIAM 10+5

decent advice for morning sickness on the tips page - not just for HG sufferers

Ah but MIAM - Sarah Jane may well be a royal perky little pain in the butt but Justin is a god !

still feeling rough - feeling really really weird as well - kept having v.vivid dreams last night and then waking up, was soooo horrid! Feeling awful! Can't believe how long this is lasting!! Threw up again this morning (TMI) - bile, horrid! Hope it passes soon, is getting me down!

Sorry to hear about your dad's financee MIAM Glad she is recovering now, praying it continues .......

Only a quick update as need to get up (or try to.)

Morning everyone!

MIAM - sorry to hear about your tragic Monday morning. I bet that was the last thing you needed in current state.

Captain Dippy - sorry to hear you've got a bug on top of everything else. Hope you are feeling better soon and can make it for your curry on Fri. I am so touched by your offer to make me another "bucket mug" that it set me off into tears again (but in a nice way!). I will email you.

I had to go to a concert for work last night and was so chuffed that at 10.30 I was not only standing, but drinking orange juice in a pub! Got home at 12.30, without vomiting, and slept better than some other nights. Feel shattered today but so pleased that I got through it without being sick or otherwise embarassing myself. Must reward myself tonight with a pyjama evening and big (although obviously not bucket-sized!) mug of cocoa on the sofa. 12-week scan tomorrow and can't wait...

MIAM-Sorry to hear of your dad's fiancee.Here's wishing her a speedy recovery.Work must also be tough-are you a nurse?
We also love the name Robyn BUT our surname begins with an "R",so it's a no go,although Rebecca doesn't sound too bad and I'm also an "R".
Still no MS here but the tiredness is beyond a joke.It's been sooooo bad that I've even had bloods done to check I'm ok.I'm not getting any sleep at night as however I lay I'm not comfortable,so maybe that's why I'm so shattered during the day.

Hope everyone has a good day-I'm off to town after lunch...if I can stay awake for long enough.

Morning everyone - not feeling great today!! Have got a monster of a cold and am feeling sorry for myself!!!

Is anyone else have problems brushing there teeth, is just makes me want to vomit!!!

Other than feeling like crap and problems with brushing my teeth - I am feeling okay!!

Hope everyone else is well, take care xxxx

Welcome newuns.Sorry about your dad's fiance aand the ghastly sounding Monday MIAM..on the upside you do sound quite cheerful so thats good.
I watched grumpy old men last night and realise that i am one
By my calcs i am 12 weeks today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hope we all feel ok today.
The weather is appalling and my washing machine has broken but i feel really cosy when i look out of the window and see the rain lashing down obscuring the mountains and the cows all huddled together.

...Actually feel quite upset for the cows

thanks for the link Peachy - someone out there in a tiny little research lab is beavering away on a miracle cure for ms - if they could just hurry up....

I am going to ring midwife now as still no booking in date and 12 weeks at weekend.

Yeah thank you Peachy - I had HG with my 1st so know most of the tricks now - was lovely to have a re-cap!!

Awww, Bramshott, bless you - crying at my offer, you are soooo sweet!! I'll look for your email.

Bug still lingering, but DH is going to attempt to go back to work this afternoon and I am going to go over to a friends with the DD's. Hope I'm ok, can't stand feeling this bad. All I want to eat is Burger King , bur I know it will make me sick sick sick!!

Moan, moan, moan .... I'm a Grumpy Old Man too!!!

Gosh, doobydoo - where do you live?????? It sounds beautiful, even with the "lashing rain" .... very Bronte!!!

I live in Co.Waterford between Dungarvan and Lismore.The house we are renting is on alittle hill and looks over the River Blackwater[i think]and the Knockmealdown and Comeragh Mountains.It is beautiful
Hope you feel better.
I want a big mac...i am veggie?!

I feel absolutely hideous today - nausea so bad I have put my pjs on already! Have my booking in next weds - the doctor I saw in august didn't forward my details to the midwives - so they didn't know anything about me - all sorted now though!

Can't decide whether to try and eat something - get sneaky suspicion may be seeing it again! yuk yuk yuk yuk - thought was getting better...

I have also become addicted to ebay!

Doobydoo, I so relate! Haven't actually been sick, but am begining to think it would be preferable to feeling this bleurgh. I am supposed to be working but keep sleeping instead. Luckily I am a self-employed translator working from home, and am only doing test translations at the moment, because every spare moment (and the rest) are spent in bed at the moment. I never felt this bad with the other three.

CornflakeKid, even. I can't even read straight.

hello all. just had my dating scan and am apparantly 12 weeks and 5 days and am due on 6th of april so thought I would introduce myself. I had no idea of dates myself as I am still bf ds3 and had no lmp date to go on so have been posting on the march thread but now I think I will flit between the two!
this will be baby number 5 for us. We already have three ds's and a dd.

Oh my god! PILs arrived on Sunday, so haven't had time until now to read this thread, and it is so huge already. I've spent about an hour catching up with you all.

All ok here, though a tiring day with DD. I think she's teething, again...

Went swimming on Monday, did 16 lengths and then lazed in the warmed pool that is half indoors and half outdoors. It was ok, but I felt freezing throughout, even when I was swimming. I think when I'm tired I feel colder, so the best bit was getting in the hot shower at the end.
