Mollie What you're describing sounds totally normal, sounds a lot like grief to me, and after everything you've been through, I'm not surprised Have you read Lesley Regan's book yet? I know I keep harping on about it but there's a bit on grieving which I think you might find really helpful. I got my copy for £1.99 plus p+p from amazon.
I remember feeling very similar to the way you describe after my mmc last year. I got myself into a right state, I really wanted to lose the weight I'd put on as none of my clothes fitted, my skin was awful, I'd been on the foresight website and terrified myself that we were being poisoned by our house (don't ask ), I'd convinced myself that the only way to lose weight was to eat things like porrige and muller light yoghurts, but foresight says no microwaves and no artificial sweeteners, so all diet food is basically out... etc etc. There were so many things, I just felt like the world was caving in on top of me.
Your migraine sounds like your body's response to all the stress you are having to deal with. I remember having a headache for 4 days solid, every morning I woke up and it was still there. The (little) things that helped me were: good food (as in local, organic, seasonal, all that malarky), wine, walks on the beach, hot baths with Jo Malone bath oil in the middle of the afternoon (felt very decadent), and trying reiki and acupuncture.
I know exactly what you mean about the no sex thing too. My DH went without for a LONG time - tbh he's not getting much atm either, knowing that we MUST NOT GET PREGNANT is not much of an aphrodisiac. But he'll survive. Poor bugger
But to all things there is a season, and this will pass. Sorry for the long ramble, I just thought it might make you feel better to know that I've been where you are. You won't be there forever. Be kind to yourself in whatever way you can. xx
Teehee it's def ok to carry on with pregnacare or any of the pregnancy vits throughout your pregnancy. The only thing to aviod is too much vit A which is why you shouldn't take a normal multi vit. How's your bump looking nowadays? What are you now? about 14 weeks? We haven't done the list for ages... You could have meant Georgie with the scan, I think she's having one as part of her investigations? Or it could have been cricri
Not long to go now Cricri til you won't need a sonographer when you want to look at your baby
Ei Mibbes is right about the B6, def worth a go I reckon. Isn't evening primrose supposed to help too Mibbes? But you only take that for the 1st half of your cycle I think. How about agnus castus? I think that's 1st half only too isn't it?
Teehee Nemo is VERY grumy about the whole puppy situation Poor little fella. We're trying to pay him extra attention and frankly he's being spoiled rotten, but he's still miserable
What's happened to the hallow'een emoticons?? We bought pumpkins at the weekend to carve with our friends' kids who were staying, but with one thing and another we ran out of time, so at some point I need to do them . We've almost finished the chocolate I bought for the trick or treaters too The supermarket fooled me into thinking halloween was a lot sooner than it really is
On a plus note, the (double A cup ) strapless bras I ordered from Figleaves have just arrived, I love being able to try on new things without having to go shopping Will send most of them back though. They'll prob be too big
