October 2005 - time for nr. 2 !!!

[SusiS]

i always wanted to do that

Wow this thread would be a good contraceptive!!

Drank two cans of ginger beer this morning and felt MUCH more able to cope at work.

Stomach is MASSIVE and it is all clearly cake and chocolate. (lol at MishMash's ice-cream scan!)

Oh I counted how many times I wee'd in the night - 9 TIMES!!!

Triceratops - those sick bags sound just the job. I can just imagine using one on a packed commuter train! Much raising of newspapers I think...

I can't believe you peed 9 times morningpaper - is this what happens when you drink ginger beer?! I don't want to brag.... but I will..... apart from my spotting I don't feel sick, tired, or pee during the night - I know that now I've said this I'm going to suffer from tonight onwards!!! but at least I now know about the amazing sick bags to help me on the dreaded tube journey to work!! Do hope you all have a good night tonight!

Just wanted to say hello to the Oct lot! I'm pg with no3 due on Nov 3 but last two babes were 2-3 weeks early so would like to introduce myself! x x x

feel slightly better about getting fat from all the junk food I've eaten in the past few weeks today - BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN STOMACH THAT ANYMORE!!! Haven't eaten anything but 2 apples and 8 crackers since Sunday afternoon and i just feel lousy. Am in such a dilemma about whether to go to work tomorrow. I was having to leave before lunch anyway for my scan but don't know if i can face feeling like this and being stuck in a classroom with lots of sweaty teenagers (bless them).

have managed to get a last minute appt with my acupuncturist tomorrow afty as she said she can do things for morning(ha!!) sickness so i might be better for going to work on weds maybe? i keep thinking that when i'm there i might not feel so bad as i'll be so busy but dh says it's more likely i'll go in, be sick and piss a couple of people off by being sent home and having to have my lessons covered at the last minute. ah what to do?

feel a bit guilty reading through these as, so far, I've felt a bit "full up" (even though I haven't eaten too much) but not particularly sick - sorry
I'm sure you will the first ones to know if that situation changes!

Bozzy, must admit was a bit peeved when they told me at the spa that they couldn't massage people who are pregnant, especially as I made it perfectly clear when I booked that there could be a possibility that I would be pg when I went. They sent me a list of the things I shouldn't do, like go in the sauna's etc, which was fine, but nothing about massage.
I'd already paid £60 for a facial earlier in the day, so in the afternoon when my back massage was due, I ended up having another facial / neck / head massage thing. So awkward as my SIL was with me and she doesn't know I am pg so had to pretend that I'd had the massage.
DH was a bit peeved as this was part of his Xmas gift to me and was upset that I hadn't had the specified treatment. Never mind. They were very nice about it. Not too sure what they do for their mum to be day, as they say it is suited for each stage of pregnancy, including massages?!

Anyway, not so much sick anymore, but do have tendency to gag a lot and am struggling to find food that I want to eat. Still shattered, every time I sit down I know I could nod off to sleep, even on the bus, when I'm not gagging that is!
Still knackered with a sore back and am fed up of getting up in the night to pee.
Roll on the next few weeks. App I am 9 weeks on Wed. I must have crap math, as I worked it out at 8 on Wed. Got m/w appointment on 17th. Fingers crossed.

Hope you all feel slightly better today.

Elf, I had massages all the way through my first pregnancy - you just have to be careful of which oils are used. It sounds like your Spa don't know what they're talking about ! I found them very useful especially towards the end for relaxation

Hi girls! Aww Moomin I know just how you feel I'm constantly puking, I can barely eat anything at all, I feel sooooo dizzy honestly you'd think I was really ill lol...I even have diarrhoea I can't even drink much without it coming back out... I had my booking appointment today and they said that the surgery doesn't give out any medication to pregnant women unless someone from the hospital has told them to and I don't even get to see the scan people at the hospital until I'm 12 weeks! I feel like I'm dyyyying lol my poor DS is fed up with me and my poor DH says he can't handle looking after DS as much as he is for very much longer and I could just cry

fastasleep, it's horrible isn't it. I'm in the same boat and feel really sorry for dh who has been doing the majority of the housework/childcare and holding down a full time job while all I can manage is constant trips from the sofa to the toilet. My doctor did prescribe tablets but tbh they are not very good and don't seem to be working at all now so I've stopped taking them. I have lost half a stone since I fell pregnant which isn't good and even my favourite foods aren't tempting any more. I'm ten weeks now so hoping in two weeks I will by some miracle start to feel human again. Can you remember what it was like to not feel sick all the time? I can't Hope you feel better soon x

Aww Bonnie I really really hope you don't feel like I did last time round....my puking lasted for 6 months!! I think I survived on plain crisps I was mad to want another one! Lol!

Oh you poor poor lot. I was feeling down for feeling sick all day now i'm not sure why i'm moaning. At least i'm not sick all the time. I hope everyone feels better soon.

Hi everyone! I won't tell you what I've eaten this morning but I must have consumed about 10,000 calories already. Still feel sick as a dog.

I've been thinking about acupuncture - any reports yet Moomin? It's supposed to be quite good.

Elf: I've never been to a spa that will give a body massage a pregnant woman in the first 12 weeks, but after that is fine. (But the spas I've been to have generally been big franchised-type ones so maybe are stricter?)

I feel v. sorry for my poor DH, doing ALL the housework/childwork/working while I lie around moaning all day and night. As soon as I am better I will turn into Martha Stewart and give him a rest!

To all of you guys puking and having a rough time - hope you feel better soon! I have only really been feeling hungry and tired which is bad enough when you have a DS approaching terrible twos.... DH has been great so far! Off to M&S to buy some ready meals for the remainder of the week as I have no energy to cook and then we are off to Spain for 4 days to tell the inlaws!!

hello all - have been away for a few days so thought I'd report in on the new thread. Haven't had chance to catch up on it all but from a quick glance gather we are all still feeling pretty rotten . I'm the same - haven't actually been sick but feeling nauseous all the time and have now gone off anything even vaguely healthy. All I want are cheese sandwiches and jacket potatoes with cheese - do you think I've got a mouse in there?

Just keep counting the days - not long now and we will all be blooming with perfect skin and luscious, thick shiny hair

V. excited as I have my scan date - 30/03. Was surprised it's so early as I will only 11+4 but can't wait for it!

Sorry to hear so many of you are feeling so rotten. I'm trying to convinve myself that my 'symptoms' are the same as the last two successful pregnancies and therefore worse than the two recent miscarriages. All will be revealed tomorow as I have my scan at 10am.

I do feel very tired, a bit sicky and needing the loo in the middle of the night. I'm sure I felt really well with the 2nd m/c pregnancy and also think I was not at all bad with the 1st m/c pregnancy.

Praying that this one will turn out alright as really don't want to go through such tiredness again.

I'm also quite negative that although the scan tomorrow may show a "viable" baby it may be handicapped (I'm sure this is not the PC word but don't know what is) in some way as I think my other m/cs were due to age and faulty eggs so even if this egg has made a baby it still might not be OK. I shall just have to wait and see. very nervous about tomorrow.

good luck tomorrow alterego
Round here, we only get a scan at 20 weeks so I have to wait ages.
I'll just go back to feeling really full up.....
(BTW - lots of sympathy to all of you feeling so sick )

We're off to Spain next week too Bozzy - the north west. Weather's shit apparently - very cold, we've been told to bring jumpers and hot water bottles!!!

i want to go away too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not happening anytime soon

anyways: mornings are not too bad anymore but still do feel kind of naseouse all day. can't face any food today - just had a few chocolate cookies -and i think i'll have some pancakes and some iceacream later for dinner
you reckon i am on the sweet craving atm

and i too feel so worn out, just so exhausted all day! yeah right, let the magic 12 weeks come on to feel all happydappy geourgouse all around again

some good news at last!
didn't go into work after all as felt sh*te so slept nearly all morning. couldn't manage anything to eat except a dry cracker but kept trying to sip as much water as poss for the scan. went to the hosp and threw up the water 5 mins before the scan! told my consultant this and he just laughed and said he'd try anyway (an external one). and we saw the sac and also a little heartbeat... luckily not two, which is what i thought we'd see as i'm so sick! (not trying to offend anyone pg with twins as i'm sure we'd cope but it would seem a bit much at the moment!). everything is all in the right place and all is well.
so then went for my acupuncture this afternoon and guess what - i've been able to eat a big bowl of veggie stew tonight and, so far, it's gone down and looks like staying down!!! Feel loads better - still can't bear the thought of lots of things, but did actually feel hungry when i saw the stew and really enjoyed eating it. My mil had made it for dh to eat when he got in from work to save him cooking and i did check with him first before i ate it, seeing as it was for him, but he said he was so happy seeing me eat something that he didn't mind - bless!
hoorah!
and i must aslo recomment spirulina, which is a supplement my acupuncturist put me onto a few weeks ago - it's been fab for my tiredness and I can't honestly say that tiredness has been a prob for me for the past 2 weeks. have now bought some for dh as well!
hope everyone else is feeling a mite better

Good luck tomorrow AlterEgo! Perhaps I've worked out that my acupunture is helping with the sickness, which can strike at any time but luckily has held off when i've been seeing clients for hypnotherapy or counselling in the evening! Still have to excuse self for Pees at opportune moments though .

Finally after persistent calls to hospital have scan and nuchal booked in for 29 March so lucky partner can come along as well- slight sense of relief to have the date as honestly wonder if I've been imagining all this and maybe I'm fooling myself I'm pg after all... odd feeling but strange nonetheless.

Hugs to all imbibing ginger beer, I'm also finding schloer quite useful too for variety!

Good Morning. Hope your scan goes well Alterego, I don't know how I would feel if I had been through what you have but I imagine it must be incredibly stressful. Sending lots of good luck vibes.

Anti nausea sendings for all pregnancy sickness sufferers. Not long to go now with any luck.

DS has just seen a scrolling advert with Mr Rush on it at the bottom of the page and now thinks I am playing exciting games without him.

I hadn't even noticed Mr Rush - but now have! This has made me all excited - I loved the Mr Men books and now can look forward to reading them (well in a few years) to my little bean!:O
Best of luck for the scan alterego. Do hope you are all feeling better soon.

Woke up this am with some bleedng. Feeling very tired and fed up. Have a dull ache that comes and goes can't decide if it's psychological or not! Sat here reading pregnancy books to put my mind at rest. I have noticed my tummy feels harder today so think (hope) it is everything settling down, god i hope so. Not doing any work today or work round the house. I never realised that preganacy was so hard mentally and physically .
