February 2011 Babies: Where only us and a select few know.....

[KnitterNotTwitter]

Just starting up the new thread in anti-natal groups. Will cross post with the old thread and updated the stats in a moment!!

Oh and welcome and congratulations americanexpat

A girl!!!

well, I got fed up with feeling really sick all the time - coulnd't sleep last night as it was so bad. I rung up the doc in tears this morning and she told me to come into the surgery, so I dragged myself in having not been out the house in 2 weeks.

She wasn't exactly reassuring ('I had a patient who was sick every day up until giving birth' and 'it might be twins'!!) but prescribed me some meds to help which are actually just over the counter stuff. She said it's not licenced for pregnancy, but then nothing really is, but she assured me it was safe. It's called 'avomine' and is for travel sickness/general sickness. She said take one before before bed when I feel bad and it'll last till the next night. Will give it a go and hope it helps.

tabby see your doc re: time off. when I saw my doc again today she tried to sign me off again before I told her she already had! I don't think they'll mind. It's terrible working through such horribleness

Welcome americanexpat

oh, and forgot to say, I ordered a natal hypnotherapy CD for morning sickness that arrived today. I tried it earlier(although trypicaaly the phone went in the middle!) and it did seem to help a little, but I wasn't feeling too terrible at the time. Might be worth a go for others??

Oh, I just realised, when I picked up my sickness prescription I paid for it - don't we get them free now we're pregnant? Does anyone know how that works? Di we have to wait until we see a midwife to get some kind of certificate of exemption??

Congrats and welcome Americanexpat where are you from?

According to the Chinese pregnancy doo dah, I am expecting a girl although it was dead wrong last time DH is convinced that this will be a boy. He was right about the gender with DD too and thinks that he's some sort of psychic wonder even though I pointed out that there's a 50/50 chance of getting it right!

I feel for all the girls throwing up, I had a terrible time last time but only been sick 2 or 3 times so far this time.... I read somewhere that morning sickness is worse if you are carrying twins (or more) or a girl, but time will tell on that one!

Has anyone tried that Nevasic thing?

yes, I've been trying nevasic, but not sure if it's helped. Will keep going in the hope though. I look ridiculous when I listen to it as you have to wear headphones for it to work, and I can't wear headphones as they give me ear infections (long story). So I've found the mother of all headphones in the biggest size possible so they can be loose on my ears and not get too hot and sweaty in there to cause infections, then, just to be doubly sure I don't get lots of germs from the headphones I put cling film around each ear and change every couple of days to a fresh cling. Odd, but seems to be working so far!

when i say cling film around each ear, I mea of the headphones, not me!!!

i havent had any vomiting yet! i was vomiting before i got my BFP with DD so im not sure if that means anything significant

i have had nausea and most food tastes weird too i LOVE olives usually and i have totally gone off them

i know how it feels to be working and having awful nausea/vomiting and im sorry for those suffering

I think I am starting to go off tea and coffee which is what happened last time - I know, I know, it's a good thing coz we shouldn't have caffeine etc but I need caffeine. I have stopped smoking and drinking I need this vice!!

Am struggling with work today, I am a childminder and am slowly losing the will to live Also, mum has told me off today because I have been getting a dull ache in my lower abdomen which gets worse when I do more like lift a child into the car seat/take a child upstairs/put one down in his cot etc etc, I have told her it is something I unfortunately can not avoid as I work alone. Would love to be signed off but being self-employed I unfortunately just can't afford to not work

Would like to add that I only had a smoke when I had a drink so you could call me a social smoker, I just need to stop socialising

Hi AmericanExpat - I've been trying to keep up the exercise (before this I was playing Roller Derby and training up to seven hours a week) but most days I'm just too knackered! On Saturday I did my Pregnancy Yoga vid for 40 minutes, but then I had to stop as I felt so dizzy and sick - roll on the second trimester already!

Hi everyone, just updating the stats!

Had a bad few days with nausea and sickness, had to have a few days off work and feel guilty, but i did need the rest!

Hope the ms gets better for everyone, cos it is such a pain!

Also, I have my nhs scan date for 23rd July, when i will be 12 weeks!

However, I have since booked a private scan for Thursday as I am very impatient! Hope it goes well x x

I've pretty much stopped going to the gym and am currently welded to the sofa while the dcs watch Toy Story 2 . I just feel exhausted and want to be asleep all the time. What a waste of the good weather! Can't wait for the second trimester so I will feel like doing something again!

Hello girls. I have just done a silly thing. I felt not so pregnant today and thought my belly was softer and less huge.When i got in from work just now i did a pg test and thought that it looked a little bit fainter than ALL the other previous 9 i have done. Yes i know,its just that i am 43 and have mc twice before can any of you hundreds please reassure me i got mw on thurs but cannot face a sleepless night. HELP

Ledkr, do not panic, it may be because the hormones in your pee weren't strong enough, had you had a lot to drink or been to the loo within the last hour or so? Was it a different brand of pregnancy test (I had varied results from different brands).

I wouldn't worry too much yet, sit down and put your feet up, try to relax if you can Thursday is not far away! Good vibes coming your way

thanks. thats just it really. i hadnt been weeing the normal 200 times but had probably drank quite a bit. I havent really had much sickness but feel little bit sick now from hunger. It wasnt even that faint. Just fainter. I will try and relax. It moments like this when i miss my wine.Gosh its such a worry.

ledkr sorry you are having a wobble try not to worry. are you having any pain or anything? if not...i would say dont test!! i know this from bitter experience sadly i have had one or two BFNs with this pregnancy the most recent being last week but when i spoke to the EPU they said not to worry and to stop testing. i have my scan next week and i am trying not to freak out about that so testing would only add to that worry

i understand how it feels to be so super anxious but try and rememebr preg symptoms come and go and vary from day to day so having a change in symptom doesnt necessarily mean something bad xx

ledkr did you take test at different time of day? That can make a difference too. Try not to worry (easier said than done, I know). I'm sure it'll be fine, and there are good and bad days anyway,so feeling a bit better today doesn't mean anyting...

thanks panda. wow you must be beside yourself.Let us all know how it goes. I have no pain at all. Am just going to have a chill and might get some chocolate instead of the wine.Thanks x

thanks angels i wish i hadnt done it now.will try and relax a bit now.cant change anything with worry.

my BFN last week was with a late afternoon wee and i got a BFP the next day its just a psychological thing to see the line getting darker i think

i NEVER got a strong BFP with my DD and was testing BFN when i was 5-6 weeks. i got a faint BFP at about 6-7 weeks and then a slightly stronger one at 8 weeks i had the WORST morning sickness though from about 5.5 weeks so hormone levels must have been ok...i dunno but all was ok when i was scanned at 10 weeks

The unbelievable tired seemed to have lifted slightly today after I googled foods with Iron in and then ate everything with iron in I could get my hands on, apparently iron proficiency can make you tired. Don't know if this will help anyone else too.

Oh and according to the chinese calender I am having a girl. And I live in West Dulwich, SE London.

Try not to worry too much ledkr, i know it is hard i have been worrying since I found out that i was pregnant that I would loose it, until i realised that I would be worrying about the little one not just for the whole nine months, but after it was born to, forever.

On and tabbycat you post about exercise made me laugh, I agree that is the last thing I could do at the moment, what with the sickness and tiredness. I can barely function.
