Good luck KK - take care.

GYo · 27/08/2008 16:49

Wow its quiet on here today.

Anyone out there?

thank goodness its nearly hometime here. Im going out for some food with a friend later

Playingthe9monthwait · 27/08/2008 17:07

I'm around now GYo - it has been quiet hasn't it! How was your day?

GYo · 27/08/2008 17:11

Hi Playing - Really quiet
My day was ok thanks. bit slow after having nearly a week off. Also really suffering with tiredness to point of zero concentration. I shouldnt complain as comparitively I've not been struck too badly, but its really affecting my work! Not sure how long I can get away with it for!

How is your day?

Playingthe9monthwait · 27/08/2008 17:24

Days been fine, I am exhausted though and that is def effecting my work. Not sleeping well which isn't helping, I can't seem to stay asleep for more than 2 hours and then when I wake it takes ages to egt back to sleep. No idea why. Oh well, musn't moan worst of the sickness has gone.

Although I did have to half laugh/half cry last night and in the spirit of no info is TMI I thought I'd share. I went to bed before DH had just got in, turned the light of and suddenly felt sick. Literally ran to the bathroom but it was too late managed to get some in the toilet but the majority all over the bathroom . Couldn't have done a better job if I'd tried. DH ran upstairs as he heard my mad toilet dash and was brilliant. Sorted me out and tucked me into bed then cleaned up the bathroom, bless. I have had a few close calls before but that was nasty. With hinsight it did make me chuckle a bit, DH has been winding me up about it all day on MSN

Playingthe9monthwait · 27/08/2008 17:30

Anyway, after putting everyone off their dinner I think I am going to go home.

Cal - I am still thinking about you. You take care of yourself.

See you all tomorrow.

GYo · 27/08/2008 17:33

LOL- thats made me smile (depsite my vomit phobia and it clearly being nasty for you!)

Love the way your previous sentence is "Oh well, musn't moan worst of the sickness has gone"

Your DH is great though...kind of him to clear it up... Not sure if mine would... though he is very good with catsick...

I know what you mean about not staying asleep, Im desperate for it but wake up loads for bathroom trips, DH coming to bed, cat purring (!!)and other random things...

Hormones eh! Got to love it though.

Right- off out now and will be striaght to bed when I get in so catch you all tomorrow.

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 27/08/2008 18:14

evening all!!

The porridge managed to stay down!!!! Horray- but it didn't stop me nearly being sick, and feeling sick the rest of the day, got a nap on the couch this afternoon, and have just cooked the kids roast chicken leg (took the meat off the bone for them) with new pots and petit pois, with a little drizzle of gravy over too!! mmmmmmmm!! can't wait for mine tonight, i was sat with the kids and they were feeding me bits of chicken and potato!! little sweethearts!!

playing- i'd feel so awful if i was sick all over the bathroom!! i feel bad enough that i'm currently carrying around a bucket to every room in the house as this morning i was sick in the kitchen sink!!... dont want such a close call again!!

GYo- tell me about the sleep and zero concentration!! I know exactly what you'r on about.... having 2 kids makes me scatty enough in the first place!!

Diege- hope Wall-E was good, we've seen it and we all enjoyed it!!

I think i'm having a really sweet craving (which i had with DS early on) i'm craving fruitellas, and sugary sweets!! anything that will rot my teeth, but i stay as ill as i have been for the last few days for any longer i'll be needing the extra calories... so may not be too bad for me!!

Diege · 27/08/2008 18:29

Evening Wall-ee was good, though dds took a while to get 'into' it. Finally finished school uniform shop too, just trainers for dd1 for PE.
Playing - bless your dh and the sick incident - hopefully it's just a final throw (literally) before sickness abaits. My worst episode when out was cupping handfulls of the stuff while on the train - in the end the guard took pity and let me sick down in his cabin, cue full projection spew over everything plus one cancelled train when we got into Manchester Piccadily for ongoing passengers. I was so !
Good that your sickness seems to lessen throughout day Glask - your tea sounds yummy!
Hi Tinks. Dals, GYO, and everyone else
Will be thinking of you tonight Cals - hope you can get some rest tonight and some answers tomorrow xxx

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 27/08/2008 18:42

Glad you enjoyed the film!! We went to see it as soon as it came out with the DC's!!

My sickness does seem to ease over the day, but as soon as i go in the kitchen or open the fridge i'm gagging again!!

going to try and get some dry crackers tomorrow and eat one before i get out of bed each morning and see if that helps!!

We've got to go and get DS's nursery uniform on saturday, his shoes are still in near perfect condition as we only bought them just after easter for the nicer weather.

calsworld · 27/08/2008 20:12

Thanks for well wishes everyone. Its been a really strange day today. I'm still in bed, I've only eaten a bowl of shreddies today which I think is testament to there being a problem as wouldn't normally be able to go more than a few hours without eating.

On the subject of wonderful DH's, mine is downstairs cooking chicken chausseur with green beans and both mashed and roast potatoes! He wouldn't have got such a good dinner if I'd been cooking...I'm a very lucky girl.

Things haven't really changed at all today, I still have a very sore tummy, though I wouldn't describe it as cramping - not yet anyway - and there's still blood nearly everytime I wipe, and clot bits coming out (sorry if it upsets anyone but it got a bit lonely on the miscarriage thread). I've done lots of reading and really don't want to go through what it sounds like is going to happen next. I'm kind of hoping to go to the scan, get it confirmed that its over then be offered an op to get rid so that I don't have to wait it out. I don't know what I'll do with myself if I don't get offered that.

Its SIL's birthday this weekend and we're supposed to be going down on Friday to stay with MIL & DIL for celebrations. Its probably the best place for me to be i.e. full time care for DS, being waited on hand and foot etc but not sure that I could actually go to the party...though I could send DH and DS and just rest at MIL's house if I don't feel up to it couldn't I.

And if it isn't all doom and gloom for me, then its still a good place to be, in that I'll be able to relax over the weekend.

Although I really should get on and organise a delivery of food sometime soon...perhaps I'll save that for tomorrow when DH is at work when I'm on my own with more waiting to do. It'll fill some time won't it.

I wish you lot were all downstairs in my lounge and I could just pop down and have a RL chat.

SesQal · 27/08/2008 20:51

Cal - thank God for fantastic DHs. Why is it that we moan about them but then they are real stars when we need them and that's sooo important.
Sounds like your wkend plans are good whatever the outcome tomorrow.
Are you sure you'd like us all in your lounge???!! We'd probably bring nothing but chaos (as well as the hugs, chat and chocolate of course!)

SesQal · 28/08/2008 08:15

Morning all!

Cal - will be thinking of you lots today. Take care. x

Tink - thanks for the list of symptoms! Interesting to see what different people get. Tbh, I looked at it and thought "Well I've got absolutely none of those"!!
Then at 3.15am this morning I woke up with a really full bladder and had to run to the loo. Totally unlike me as I'm normally a camel who has a wee 3 maybe 4 times a day and doesn't get woken up by anything in the night. Could have been a one off so will wait and see what my weeing habits are over the next few days

How's everyone else this morning? Hope the MS is abating for those suffering?

GYo · 28/08/2008 08:32

Morning all, Hi Ses

Thinking of you today Cals, if you are checking the wagon....

I'm staying in bed today with a quite a bad headache....Was hoping to sleep it off last night but its just worse this morning. Decided work is hard enough at the moment but a headache on top is enough reason to stay at home, although Im sure I'll end up working later...

I've done great in past 3 months not taking anything for headaches etc but today will be a challenge... the ibuprofen is calling me from the bathroom!

how is everyone else?

GYo · 28/08/2008 08:33

we will need a new thread soon.... Any ideas for titles?

SesQal · 28/08/2008 08:35

Norning GYo. for headache. I think you're doing the right thing staying in bed for the day. All I can suggest is paracetamol or you can use lavender oil or Forehead stick applied across the forehead and temples. Drink loads of water too and take it easy.

SesQal · 28/08/2008 08:38

Ooops!
Morning was what I meant!!
You're right about new thread... Will put thinking cap on!

GYo · 28/08/2008 08:51

THanks Ses- kind advice, as usual will see how long I can go without anything. Sipping tea and water at the moment.

How are you today?

Dalrymps · 28/08/2008 08:53

Morning everyone!

Cal - Hope you managed to get some sleep and that it goes ok today.

GYo - Sorry you've got a headache, ses is right, you can take paracetamol, hope it clears soon.

Ses - the wee symptom sounds exciting. Keep us informed!

Not much news here today, have been thinking about the birth of ds and getting broody and impatient! Must stay strong.

GYo · 28/08/2008 08:59

Hi Ses- head making me go mad, just read about your wee symptoms after Dals post. Defo sounds like a positive. Fingers crossed.

Bet these two weeks feel like a lifetime....

Hi Dals, how old is your DS?

tinkistwentyweeksandhasscantom · 28/08/2008 09:02

Cosmogirl · 28/08/2008 09:12

Hi ladies,

Haven't been around for a while, but saw Cal's news and wanted to send my support. I really hope it is not bad news at your scan today xx

I have been signed off work by the doctor for two weeks with the sickness. Not really able to stomach food at all at the moment and just surviving on still orange lucozade.

Tink - good luck at your 20 week scan today.

GYo - hope the headache passes soon. Haven't had any headaches yet [touch wood]. Must be weird not being able to pop a couple of ibruprofens for it.

tinkistwentyweeksandhasscantom · 28/08/2008 09:22

hi cosmo long time no sea lol

sorry for your sickness hope it gets better soon
my scan is tom cant wait

Diege · 28/08/2008 09:22

Morning
Will be thinking of you today Cals, and fingers crossed for your scan. At least you will know what's going on, and remember we are all here for you
Boo to the headache GYO - I think paracetemol is the only thing you can take, although my GP let me have migraleve (controversial though, not many do). At least you don't have work to worry about!
Hi Dal - know what you mean about broody and flashbacks to labour etc!Chances are that we'll either be pregnant or have a NB this time next year though, so not that long to wait!
SES, your first symptom - yay! How long now till you test?
TINKS - exciting about tomorrow - good on you having shopping planned for after - not letting the side down eh . I've just received a delivery from Mini Boden - v.exciting
Quite a busy day today. My sister and her dh and dc are coming over, and we're out to the big country park by us. Have kept dd3 off nursery too, so the full complement as dh is off too.
On the goff front my cycle seems to be a bit crazy (after all that planning with dh too ). No sign of EWM which I'd notmally have by now (day 12) but as af was 7 days as opposed to usual 4/5 it may be that ovulation is delayed. That would be OK, but wondering if I should delay ttc until back to 28 days? There again an egg is an egg whenever it arrives, and mine aren't getting any younger!
Right, will try and pop in later but probably evening! - xxx

Diege · 28/08/2008 09:23

Hi Cosmo! Sorry about the sickness - fingers crossed it passes soon
