feedmenow - you have my endless sympathy with the ?m?s ? I, too had the all-day variety, and ended up signed off work for 12 weeks with hyperemesis. It?s awful ? I can only say that I found trying to eat just little and often (I had a slice of toast with marmite, or a tiny bit of plain pasta) helped me get through. I also had acupuncture, and found that very useful ? I also used nux.vom. ? give that a try if the sepia doesn?t help. The travel sick bands didn?t work on me ? but the acupuncture points on me are underneath the vein in my wrist (so says the acupuncturist), so it wasn?t really surprising. I?m now at 31 weeks (gulp), and although I?m still occasionally sick, it?s mostly passed ?
As for the names, I can think of a few shockers ? why not suggest the name that Jordan has given her baby ..Tiaamiii (or something just as awful!)
spugs - can I suggest that you try a bit of emotional blackmail on your GP? Or even a bit of bending of the truth?
feedmenow ? hoping your wait won?t be much longer! Oooh ? waves of pains ? will be looking out for a childbirth thread from you!
mumofmonsters - there?s been research that seems to show that the most successful treatment for recurrent mc is tlc ? if it helps, I went through the dread of it all happening all over again, and was absolutely terrified before all 4 of the scans I?ve had so far (7 weeks - reassurance, 12 weeks, 20 weeks, and 22 weeks ? after a bleed) ? the worst one by far was the 12 week scan ? that was the one where my dreams were shattered the second time, and I was a mess. Also, the ms fluctuating can in fact be a good sign ? I had very little ms with the first mc, and horrendous ms with the 2nd ? but this one has been by far the worst in terms of ms ? worse, in fact, that the ms I had with ds!
my1stbaby - thinking of you ? hoping your bleeding stops soon. Hang on in there until your scan ? we?re here to prop you up of you need it.
Glimmer - I am so glad you are starting to be able to enjoy this pg ? I felt the same when I got to the 24 week mark too! I?m now at 31 weeks and the odds are increasing all the time ? as are the alien moments in my belly! I remember being on this thread too right at the very beginning, and it was really reassuring to me to read that other women were experiencing successful pg!
MrsMc - your boss seems to have the same level of tact and decency as dephead where I work! Hope your migraine is getting better! Thinking of you as you go into your mw appt on Weds.
Rainbowdays - thinking of you ? I?ll hold the other hand for you while you have a wobble.
Griffin - just want to give you big gentle hugs. DH is in a similar situation at the moment ? not his dad, but a cousin he was brought up with, so like his brother, was given 6 months to live about 5 months ago ? due to an inoperable tumour in his brain. It just seems so bl00dy unfair ? I?m thinking of you.
Beckle - lovely to hear you are getting fatter ? I found the bumpbands invaluable (and, in fact, still do!) in helping to keep my maternity trousers up!
No real news from me at all ? just wanted to catch up with you all ? am still lousy and streaming with this head cold ? am also coughing like a chain smoker ? hopefully it doesn?t go onto my chest, as I?m severely asthmatic and could do without a chest infection!
