June 2015 Thread 3- Bring on that 2nd Trimester glow!!!

[Chookford]

Hey ladies, here we go!

Good Morning Everyone. Its my first time posting here as I didn't know where to find these threads. So far, this site has been a godsend in helping me through the first 8 weeks with the sickness, nausea, headaches, crying, etc etc etc

By my own calculations, I'm due around 22nd June. I have my first MW appt this Friday. Had some holidays to use up so booked the day off so I don't have to go back to work afterwards.

I don't think there is an EPU. Its just Emergency gynae. I'm not good at pushing for things. The pains stopped overnight and haven't restarted (yet). And bleeding is no worse (yet). If anything changes I'll go, and probably to a different hospital (although they're all the same trust so probably same policies).

Morning ladies!

Gr33dy, I'm so sorry to hear about your upsetting and frustrating situation. I hope you can get a scan arranged soon.

I hope everyone is keeping well today. I had an awful nights sleep as my OH was constantly fidgeting and really restless which kept us both awake, so I am not going to be much use to anyone today.

We went out for another long walk yesterday afternoon which I love as I like to keep active and the fresh, crisp air is great this time of year. Problem is, I am finding when I get home and sit down to rest after any form of exercise my temperature is dropping, leaving me feeling chilled and it takes hours for me to warm up again. I've tried Dr Google but can't seem to find anything. It can't be blood sugar as I had a meal when we got back. Strange... has anyone else found/had this?

Oh no sunbathing poor you! I am almost sickness-free now at 10+4 and obviously panicking a bit but just so glad to feel human again! Managed some exercise over the weekend and have also got my sweet tooth back which is both good and bad!

I can't help with the cold thing teenie as I am always either too hot or cold never just right! It hasn't changed during pregnancy!

Good luck getting a scan gr33dy I hope you get some reassurance soon.

Excited and Trying welcome and congrats on the BFP!

GR33 really sorry to hear you are having to deal with unsympathetic people, hope you get a scan sorted asap and have some reassuring news.

Sun hope your feeling a little bit better now..

Morning everyone! 10 weeks today with lots of lower back and pelvic pain!! Can't get energy todo anything today even tho I want too! Just feeling really crappy! And can't stop worrying even tho mw said all my pains are normal! I just feel stuck in a rut and all I want is the next two weeks to go fast so I can finally see and hear my baby for the first time! Seems to be taking ages! I hope all is okay and sorry to hear about people's worrys!

Anyone know if there are any outpatient options for severe morning sickness/ hyperemesis other than prochlorperazine tablets? I'm very sick & weak now & desperately don't want to be admitted if at all avoidable. Have need bed bound for a month now, vomiting 30 times a day with food & liquid plus horrific headaches this weekend. But don't think I'm clinically dehydrated yet just very ill & it's making my other health problems worse. Im 10 weeks tomorrow.

Tori I was the same with DD - vomited every time I touched oranges or juice...she wanted carbs, the heavier the better!

I'm still sickly and tired now too - DD is starting to ask me what's up when I don't have the bounds of energy I normally do. Don't like to lie to her, but she's not buying the 'mummy's just feeling a bit poorly right now' line. She wants to take me to the 'hostable' :)

Those with older kids - what have you told them and when?

Sorry you are feeling so poorly Hexy. It does sound like you probably need to be admitted if I'm honest.

Crosspost there, Hexy. My GP would prescribe cyclizine, worth asking yours?

Chat ive been really poorly too. Although feeling sick not being sick but I'm very aneamic, so fainting and facing to lie down a lot. I'm 9+4wks. We told our tribe last wks after a private 8 wk scan. I think it's easier since they've been told. They know I'm feeling shit and they know why. Poor mummy would you like a drink, hot water bottle, satsuma etc. Love them they are being very caring.

*having not facing, stupid autocorrect.

Oh Hex that's hardcore. I know you don't want to but I think consider being admitted. Sooner you go in the sooner you get out.

Sorry you're going through that, hexy.

Don't google, sunbathing. That was the first bit of advice we were told at our antenatal class last time! Hope you're feeling better today - have the spasms stopped now?

hexy i also have HG and there is a lot of drugs out there - different drugs work for different people. You may need to go to hospital to find the right combination. There is a HG support thread on here which i have found invaluable. Go to your GP if nothing else.

hexy sorry you are having to deal with that, as others have said maybe a short admittance to hospital will sort you out.. But can completely understand why you wouldn't want too.

Our dd found out by eavesdropping on our conversation but it was after our first scan so even though it was not intentional I Wasnt as stressed as I would have been otherwise...

Wow Sunbathing! What a huge few months you have ahead of you. Don't worry about the hospital - I'm only a few miles from mine and didn't go for a tour before I went I to labour, so everything was new to me. Didn't have any negative impact at all.

Are you on fb? (Sorry - struggling to match names with pseudonyms!) are you moving near anyone else? You could have a read made buddy.

And Hexy I'm afraid I agree. I know admission sounds awful but it's important you find a solution. Big hugs from us.

I'm at my booking in appt. the MW has had to leave me to deliver an unexpected arrival. Baby due imminently. AIBU to climb on to the bed in room and have a wee nap? Bloody Knackered. Will finish my cuppa tea first.
