Oh maz32, I'm sorry - hope you are ok (realise that is a stupid thing to say) but thinking of you!

ScrumptiousBumptious · 01/09/2008 16:44

So sorry to hear that maz32. Take care of yourself.

Kalikaroo · 01/09/2008 16:45

Sorry to hear your bad news maz32

Best wishes and good luck with everything - we'll be thinking about you. xx

Hello everyone, sorry to see maz's news, hope you're ok.

My weird diet reached an all time low yesterday - I ate 75% of a circular bakewell tart!! Today, I've eaten nothing but pasta and tomato sauce. Feeling distinctly more pregnant as more time passes and booked my scan today at the FMC - it's not for another 6wks though!

Gemzooks · 01/09/2008 18:16

hi everyone,

nattythomas, can I just ask, are you strep b positive or have you actually had a baby get infected with strep b? I ask cos I had DS in Belgium where they test everyone at 37 weeks, tested positive and was bunged on a drip of antibiotics for the whole labour. Now I'm in Holland, pg with number 2 and they don't routinely give antibiotics to strep b carriers in labour, with the justification that 30-40% of women carry strep b and it's overkill to give them all antibiotics...

Hi all and thanks for the new thread.

Sorry for your news Maz32. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good luck for next time.

I threw up for the first time today. Yuck. Roll on the second trimester...

SalBySea · 01/09/2008 19:01

am trying really hard to give up lucozade - it helps with nausea but I cant drink it every day can I!

MegBusset · 01/09/2008 19:12

Pruners that sounds grim, are you feeling better now?

I'm allergic to Lucozade so that would make me throw up even more!

bethdivine · 01/09/2008 19:46

hello all, and shiny new thread I haven't managed to catch up with all the posts, it moves so quick, but sorry to all those who've left the list.

Pruners, hope you're feeling better - flat coke is a good hangover cure apparently ( i think i remember those days from long ago!) so that might be why you've bee craving it - to up your blood sugars maybe - ah well, who cares as long as it works a bit.
Sal if the lucozade works, I'd say keep on with it!
Meg poor you, hoping it'll pass quick.
I've been feeling so grim for weeks, but today [whispers] I don't think I've been feeling as sick...I was convinced this was going to carry on, so fingers crossed we'll all be feeling better by the next thread!

I still haven't told people, but it's getting difficult now, one friend at work knows and she said she can see my little bump as I'm walking around. I've clocked a couple of people looking at my belly so they're either wondering if I'm pregnant again, or else thinking I'm eating too much. (and they'd be right on both counts!)

I've taken so long to type this I've probably crossed in cyber space with a few more messages!

StorkExpectedInApril · 01/09/2008 19:57

oooohhh Pruners! I'm another non-Coke drinker - apart from when I'm pregnant. I drank two cans yesterday and am just contemplating cracking one open now...although today, I've been drinking milk and loving it!

My sense of smell is elevated again and it's hideous. I hate opening the dish-washer to load in dirty dishes because it smells so unbelievably terrible!

LittleMyDancing · 01/09/2008 20:19

Me too, Coke by the gallon when pregnant! it's the only thing that makes me feel better.

FRAGGLE06 · 01/09/2008 20:30

Tucking in to a coke right now. Lovely.

Normally I hate the stuff too.

mathsmummy27 · 01/09/2008 22:09

Shame maz hope you are ok, such sad news.

Gemzooks · 01/09/2008 22:21

ooh, Lucozade! sounds lovely! I really want junky, carby type stuff like baked beans, normally hate them.

Apropos of work, don't know how much longer I can not tell them. I"m now 10.5 weeks, and it's pretty obvious as I am skinny with no hips and it all sticks out in front as have no stomach muscles after having DS. It's an all female office mainly comprised of environmentalists with about 8 kids, and I'm sure they all know. Anyway will just wait till someone asks straight out or wait till 12 weeks...

purplemonkeydishwasher · 02/09/2008 08:31

oh Maz i'm so sorry

god i feel sick. just about peed myself this morning when i had to pee and be sick at the same time. lovely.

mental note: sweet tea is better to bring up again than orange juice.

this is going to be a looooong few months.

DungunGirl · 02/09/2008 09:18

uurrghhh...

Can't take this nausea anymore!!!

Only on week 8+3...that means at least another 4 weeks of bluurghhh....

I found anything with lemon is good..BUT then I get indigestion /really sore tummy later on in the day.....urrghhhh

Can't win!

I am also just a baloon of gas....

BabyBolat · 02/09/2008 09:28

Oh DungunGirl I am feeling your pain!

I feel really bad complaining about it but it's so frustrating! I have tried EVERYTHING to stop the nausea / vomiting but nothing works and I am not craving anything - rather just trying to find something that doesn't make me want to hurl!

I have never in my life felt so unattractive - if it's not vomit, it is gas - Or just general grumpiness from being so tired!!!

Sorry to moan.... Maybe it's the horrendous weather that put me in a bad mood today, or the fact that I had to be sick in the most hideous train toilet this morning.....

Hope everyone is feeling a bit chirpier than me this morning!

hmmmmm.....

Cosmogirl · 02/09/2008 09:48

Can I join you sicky, depressed lot as well? Haven't posted on here for a while because been feeling so low with the all-day nausea. I've only thrown up twice in four weeks, but have had countless occasions of dry heaving over the loo, which I find equally as distressing. I am an emetaphobe too (afraid of being/feeling sick) so really not coping too well.

Am currently signed off work, due back next Tues but scared that I won't feel any better by then

On another note, I am 10 weeks today and my drs haven't even done the referral to the hosp yet so God knows when I will get my scan. DH is going to ring them today and ask them why they have bee sitting on it since 8 weeks....

Rant over...

detoxdiva · 02/09/2008 09:58

Hi ladies

Can I join in?

I am 6+2 with no. 2 due on 26th April. I already have a dd aged 2.7.

This pg is already completely different to my first - still have the tiredness, but had no sickness at all with dd. With this one I have been feeling sick pretty much all the time since week 5

Will have a skim through all the messages, but just wanted to say hi

DungunGirl · 02/09/2008 10:40

babybolat

Yeah I totally get what you are saying!

With my DS I had cravings by this time in the pregnancy, i was craving mash potato and enjoying it!

I got nausea but it was only in the evenings, so I was ok all day.

This time round...urrghhh nausea from the moment I get out of bed to the moment I lay my head back on the pillow at night.

Rather than craving food I am just LIKE YOU, trying to figure out what foods don't make me feel worse or cause even more discomfort in my sensitive tummy!

Oh my oh my oh my....

Glad I am not alone - don't get me wrong I will have a sudden urge to eat something when I see it but then I can have it the next day and it has the opposite affect! There is nothing I want constantly that always makes me feel better! hmph!!!

CosmoGirl - I feel your frustration, I have been waiting for 2 weeks for the midwife to call me and leave for a two week holiday in 5 days so not sure when I am going to be seen! And I really need to start telling people as I am clearly starting to show and I am bored of keeping it a secret!!!

Still at least there is hope that if I ever decide to do this again, it wont necessarily be so horrid!!

Gemzooks · 02/09/2008 11:16

hope you're all doing your pelvic floor exercises, ladies! I'm trying to remember but too lazy..

purplemonkeydishwasher · 02/09/2008 12:34

oh yes crisps!
it's fun trying to tell DS that crisps are NOT for breakfast while i cram them in my gob!

i do't remember showing this early last time but i really feel like i have a bump already. (or maybe it's just the crisps i've been eating for breakfast!)
