There's no TMI on here - can't be by definition - and nobody should feel ashamed of moaning as much as they feel the need to.

Yes spar tone is safe to take
What's your iron lvels reebok
Mine went down to 6.9 critical ... how dramatic :p
Now 9 after infusion will.probably need another before baby comes...
One useful piece of advise for spd.. crutches they are a godsend when trying to negotiate the loo in the night or the dreadful.early.morning click clack ouch ... my pelvis sounds wonderful oh and the pain whince ....
Told no more babies for me unless I want to be in a wheelchair! 
Forgotten levels Spandau but been told if I don't get them up, I won't be able to use birthing suite like I want to 
. I'm struggling with iron tablets as they bung me up more than I am. Might find out about spatone...thanks for suggestion...does it taste yuck though? The iron tablets add to that nasty taste in my mouth which I've had since peeing on a stick!
Amys your oh sounds about as useful as mine. He had to CHANGE THE BINS today and acted like he had cleaned the entire house. Prat! Sick of him. Every time I see him, I just want to punch him.
I've just realized that this will be my last 'Sunday night blues' feeling for a good few years now. It feels wonderful. I can't wait to stop being a teacher and just being mummy.
Hey all,
Sorry to those suffering from SPD. That combined with HG means I'm pretty sure you deserve the most loveliest of all babies! (And a stiff drink once baby is out!).
mrsamerica one of the reasons I avoid taking cyclizine is that it makes me too sleepy and groggy to function. It is an old class of antihistamine, so drowsiness is a v common side effect.
Waves at everyone else. 
Back at work tomorrow, 7.30 - 17.00. So nervous about going back, I didn't sleep last night at all. Didn't help that one of my work colleagues came round to visit with a temp contract worker who kept on going on about wanting my mat cover job. It's unreasonable to feel possessive over it, as obviously they will have to cover me, but I feel apprehensive about taking mat leave and how that'll affect my career.
I'm also irrationally worried how other people will have percieved my sick leave with 'a bit of morning sickness'. I know I'm being silly, and people just don't care that much. Hopefully, being back in tomorrow will make me worry less.
Anyway, any tips for surving first day back? I have been reducing ondansetron, and trying not to take until I need, with varying amounts of success, but will take at least two doses tomorrow. Going to ask gp to reduce back to 4mg. A couple of med free days has really improved the constipation situation though!
Hope you all have a lovely week ahead. I'm hitting the 16 week mark. 12 and 16 weeks seem to be the two that hcps promise you HG goes away. 
Evening all, I'm here to moan I'm afraid. After finally starting to think I was feeling better from the HG, I think I'm developing SPD 
. I feel like I've been kicked in the crotch and my hips and pelvis click and grind when I walk.
Going up and downstairs and turning over in bed is particularly painful. I am so frustrated! Thought I might finally be able to get on with life a bit, and stop being virtually housebound, and now this! And to top it off, we went out for lunch today and I threw it all up when we got home. What a waste! I feel really fed up this evening.
reebok I found that the apple flavoured spar tone were OK to drink. Without flavour wasn't very tasty.
special Take it easy tomorrow is the best I can suggest. I think some people never quite appreciate how awful HG is. However, I can say most of my colleagues have been great, they do like to tell me how awful I look and praise my stamina .
eallison Might give a chiropractor a try if tomorrow doesn't do the job.
madrigal Sorry to hear you might have spd. If you want a physio appointment, it's best to let doc or Midwife know asap so they can refer you. I was told to take paracetamol every day as cumulative benefits for pain relief. Don't know of it works as I was stuck in the car today!
Thanks for all the time well-wishing. I survived first day back, and it was so much better than I could have hoped for! I did scare them with the gagging, but no vomits. Had to eat my cheese sandwich for lunch in an empty office as the tearoom was just a bit too overwhelming, but otherwise fine.
I am absolutely exhausted. Trying to muster up the energy to go to choir tonight. :-/
ickle It is improving around 16 weeks. I'm having more good days anyway!
madrigal 
squeezed my colleagues were lovely too.
Waves to everyone else. Too tired to type more.
Glad to hear it Special, and guess what, re choir, Mother Hen says ''Don't overdo it'. 
squeezed and Special, I'm happy to hear about nice, supportive workmates.
I hope everyone has coped today. Very quiet on here. I hope that's good sign, not one that everybody feels too bad.

Hi everyone just wanted to pop in and say thank you for the welcome. Sorry it's taken so long to respond, I've been feeling so, so awful. GP has started me on Domperidone too, so hopefully that will improve things. Had a UTI too so that's not helped.
Huge sympathise to all those suffering, especially those with SPD also. Seems utterly unfair to have both
