hotchocloate I am so sorry you feel so foul. You are at the worst stage, when the way ahead seems endless; who wouldn't be fed up? Moan all you like, that is what this thread is for. I so agree with Anitidae about the flat coke, and in fact, any sweet drink you can stand -coke of course,has he most sugar in, but others like Dr Pepper and even Elderflower Water are very sugary, plus of course, the juice of tinned fruit and ice lollies - it seems so incngruous, sipping ice lollies in this weather! Oh dear, on 2+ ketones. You may well have to go in tomrrow. Gentle cyber pats on offer.
Shehz You've had such great advice already. Interestingly, I knew a couple of women who had babies early, at 36 weeks, and they didn't need to be helped with breathing, either.All those years ago, the accepted wisdom seemed to be that 36 weeks was the point at which lungs tended to be fuly developed, so it seems to have been revised upwards. It sounds as if that midwife was being alarmist.
totallyrasmus Again, you have had great advice. Sadly, I stopped at one m yself , but I have regretted it.
DeadDoorPost Do speak to someone about it. Much sympathy. After having Hyperemesis, I believe that in fact a lot of women suffer from PTSD, and no wonder, given the lack of sympathy.How is the lingering nausea? That is enough in itself, to make anyone depressed.
Endora No vomiting for five days is great. Remember, you will take a while to recover, perhaps as long as you have been ill. Don't be hard on yourself. I so agree with Anitidae.
Aniidae Swden - I used to work with a woman from Sweden, who said that while it is so much colder there, it isn't the dismal damp cold of the UK. I'm glad the midwife wanted details, anyway.
Wonderful advice from Endora Anitidae and everyone...
bitzy I hope you are OK.
Waves to Natsku and Mustang and everyone.
Apologies to anyone rudely overlooked.
