Due in July - Part 3- we are a chatty loy...

[twoplusone]

Thought would start a new thread...

Jennster, sorry but I am ROFL at your dh and his misguided "present"!!!

I'm not feeling too hot atm. I have had tinnitus since last week which has been getting me down; then today I started feeling really dizzy - I couldn't move without the room spinning! I went up to the GP to see what I could do, and she has prescribed me a nasal spray to ease the congestion in my ears (which is what's causing me the problem) and some anti-sickness tablets to help with the accompanying nausea (which, on top of the m/s, was just too much to bear!). It is a dispensing GP here too and I nearly burst into tears when I found out they would have to order in the spray - however have taken the tablets and the nausea is not so bad now - phew. GP said although these things have side effects, none would harm the baby and would be far less damaging to me than if I fell down the stairs whilst dizzy - I have to agree there!!

dd (insert name here) Sings The Hits. Lovely idea. Wouldn't have minded if it really were a mix tape of songs, corny or not.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa Kyte. Am thinking of you.

Miao don't worry about the nasal spray. If it's ephedrine or xylometazoline or something that sounds like either of the above then will sort out your middle ear a treat. Nasal sprays are counted as topical and so the drug isn't really absorbed into the body.

Oh and have finally done my last breastfeed. Dd not happy, and I have mixed feelings myself, but it was starting to really hurt when she was latching on. I have them all to myself for 4 months at least!

thanks Jennster - think it was Beconaze the GP prescribed me? - she was very reassuring on the absorption front anyway.

Hi All

Kyte was very sorry to hear about your grandad but you do seem to be getting all the arrangements made now - it can't be easy when you are pregnant and hormonal as well.

I had my doppler scan this morning and have a 'low chance' of getting pre-eclampsia again, am very pleased as everything looked fine and the consultant was happy. I have another scan to check for growth in three weeks time. Otherwise have been feeling quite poorly with a bad dose of sinusitis, my head has felt like it's been in a vice for the last week. Started a course of anti-biotics yesterday so hopefully it will start to clear up soon!

I have 6 weeks left at work now and am counting the days though am hoping I may be able to finish 1 or 2 weeks earlier as DH has been offered a rather fab job and they want him to start asap - he's normally a SAHD so the extra money on top of my maternity pay would be very handy. I could really use the extra time to get on preparing the baby's room which looks very much like an office rather than a nursery atm!

Hope everyone else is well.

Firststar- So glad scan went well and lucky you getting ad one too thrown in.. Am hopingi they will do a 3d one tommorrow aswell as they normally do at this clinic.. heres hoping..

on the smoking front.. it had been difficult but I am getting there.. still having one or two.. per day.. to take the edge of.. othere wise using a nicorette inhaler as I didnt want a constant flow of nicoltine going through my body.. didnt smoke enough to warrant this..

For mothers day.. Dh got me a card each from DD, DS and the bump and one from him too.. so I got 4cards bless him...(he did say he was going to get me one fromt he dog too but he ran out of money in the shop!!) Went out for lunch then we went bowling.. I bought y self some dried flowers last week that I really wanted and told him that they could be my mothers day present..

Hope everyone else is ok..

Feel guilty about leaving the children.. and not quite sure how ds will cope with being at creche full time for three days... I am sure he will be fine... ( I hope so.) DD will be fine she will wrap dh round her little finger and get everything she wants of him no doubt will be telling him mummy lets me do this and that.. and she gives me xamount of money etc... lol

Take care all
xx

Miaou - Not the nasal spray I was thinking of. Won't get feeling it works immediately, might be a week before it starts to take effect and 2 weeks before fully working but don't worry. You must use it everyday though not just when you think you might need it.

Haven't posted on here for ages (STILL suffering with horrid evening sickness and finding it exhausting!) but have been trying to keep up with you all and thinking of you when things aren't going so well - particularly sorry to hear your news at the moment Kyte but I'm sure it'll mean so much to your family that you take the service. Also hope Friday goes ok twoplusone.

It's my DH's birthday towards the end of April and he's really keen for a 3d scan so thought I'd try and arrange one as a surprise.

If anyone's done this before in the London area (or outskirts, I'm in Putney but happy to travel)I'd be really grateful for some recommendations - so far baby premier looks the cheapest.

Hope everyone's surviving - won't it be lovely when the nice weather kicks in for good - until it gets too hot and we're all heavily pregnant I guess!

Take Care Everyone xx

Hope your scan goes ok lynnec.

Trimum2 I didnt get a card - a little disappointed as it would have been sweet but we are saving(ish!) My mum felt bad because her house was like a florist as all three of us bought her lots of flowers and wanted to give me some of hers lol. DP ordered pizza on sat as a treat but tbh he benefited from that aswell!!!

Twoplus well done with the smoking, a friend used to always have 1 and a half then throw the rest of the second one away -bit expensive but it worked for her!

Sorry you have been so poorly Miaou - sounds really awful. I am on my upteenth cold in recent weeks thanks to being on antibioitcs for a urinary infection. I have stocked up on smoothies which are on offer in the hope some vit c will help!

Hi All, Don't like to worry any of us but my best friend has just had her baby(on thursday) a month early!! There's em thinking I've still got 17 weeks and I may only have another 13 weeks. OMG- I still have lots to do !!

Sorry to hear your sad news Kyte, but glad it's getting sorted out with the service - what a hard thing for you to do.

Good luck with cutting down on smoking twoplusone. I've never smoked, but can safely say that I miss wine when pregnant so can sort of empathise with you!

You poor girls on having all these illnesses. I get the occasional sniffles but am otherwise feeling healthy but tired...

DH bought me a book - The Mum's Book for the Mum Who's Best at Everything' It's got loads of bits of advice in it for things to make you an even better mum. He had also meant to buy me flowers (he says) but didn't get round to it!!

Happy week to you all! x

Hi everyone,

Just trying to catch up....easier said than done with us chatty ladies!!

Twoplusone- really hope your doppler scan goes well tomorrow, and it would be great if you get a 'free' 3D scan too!

Abgirl- really pleased your doppler scan went well.

Kyte- really sorry to hear about your Grandad, hope the funeral arrangements work out & keep everyone happy with the minimum of stress- if that's possible!

Everyone else!(....so many!) hope you are all ok and the various remaining 'morning' sickness sufferers are coping, and those of you suffering with various illnesses...there sure seems to still be quite a lot about...When will spring arrive?!

Had my uterine artery doppler scan last Thurs, all went well- blood flow normal & baby's growth spot on. Back to hospital a week on thurs for another scan....they sure are keeping a close watch on me!! Had a bit of a BP scare...so was kept in for a couple of hours until they got some normal readings... so looks like thankfully it was only white coat syndrome! Feeling good otherwise although wish there was a magic cure to teething- DS is really suffering!!

Take care all and try to rest when you can (as if!!)- had a lecture from a friend the other day as keep running about as if not pregnant...luckily for me I've felt good enough to but also know how I shouldn't forget the little one cooking inside (& could definitely do with more sleep!)

Big hugs xxxxxxx

Good luck Kyte. It's amazing what you can do once you've had a good night of sleep.

Oh dear Kyte that does sounds more and more stressful - I've always found that family gatherings seem to bring out the worst in people as they all try to stick their oar in! I hope it gets settled easily for your sake.

Ds and I are now suffering with the umpteenth cold since I got pregnant. I wouldn't mind but I now dread the tail end of it when the cough starts and my pelvic floor can't cope! At least ds seems to be sleeping loads with this cold so it gives me more time for a break.

Morning guys,

I am so sorry to hear about your Grandad Kyte. I hope that you and your family are coping okay.

Good luck with the Doppler today Twoplusone.

Firststar - So glad your scan went well. Its such a relief isnt it!

Typhoonsmum - I am with you on the hormones! I have no idea what's going on with me. I just lost it yesterday and the slightest thing seems to set me off! I was at work and laughing hysterically over something my boss had said and then 10 minutes later I feel like screaming!

My poor DH just doesnt understand and rather than ask him to help me do stuff, i have taken to screaming at him that I am tired! I dropped a glass last night and you would have thought the world was ending! I cut my arm and just sat on the floor in tears telling my DH that I was so exhausted...hey ho! I guess I will just have to try and get more sleep! Which is proving to be rather difficult these days!

I can't remember who mentioned the big baby!! I was told my baby was larger than average (20 week scan) and it measured 16cm. Was told it was nothing to worry about.

I hope that you all feel great today and have a good day!

Big hugs to all that need one!

I am just the same with the hormones, myfairone. My poor dh looks quite worried when he comes home from work while he tries to suss out what mood I'm in each day so he can run for cover if necessary. And ds has started doing a strange action of covering his face with his hands and slumping at mealtimes; it took my ages to work out that he's just copying me when things go wrong and I can't get him to eat enough!

Also with your wineglass I am working on a theory about being more clumsy when pregnant, last week I dropped and broke an entire litre bottle of olive oil on our kitchen floor (luckily tiled not carpeted!) which is weird because I did the same thing a couple of years ago - when I was last pg!

Groveregg, thank you so much! I feel normal again. I seem to get so tired and exhausted and the more tired I am the more clumsy I become!
At the weekend I picked up a pan that I had just removed from the oven, burnt my hand and cried!
So what with the pan and the broken glass (my kitchen floor is tiled too so everything that touches it breaks!) I am having quite a hormonal time!

I hope that you feel better soon!
