Hi all, it's been suggested to us - and we think it's a really good idea - to set up a topic within the mind, body and soul umbrella to cover all aspects of depression. This will include PMT/PND/bi-polar etc etc. We're a bit unsure what to call the thread and were wondering whether you guys can give us some suggestions. Will let you know once it's up and running.

Rachel, Justine and Carrie

I was a lot worse with the girls than the boys. It wore off at about 14 weeks with the boys. I had the pills for all four pg's and I wan'st actually being sick for all of them. BUt i would say it was a last resort.

lou33 · 18/09/2004 00:51

I was the same
turning over in my sleep would start me feeling like death

MUMINAMILLION · 18/09/2004 00:52

Oh dg - sweet memories. I was always lighter at the end of my pregnancies than when I started!! I think I had a course of 8 acupuncture sessions. Its definately worth looking into. It also helped me sleep.

yeah, I have nothing against pills and potions at all, for anything, just want to try au naturalle for this baby if I possibly can but it does mean i'm eating alot.

MUMINAMILLION · 18/09/2004 00:53

Lou, Ive heard a lot of people say its worse with girls than boys. I had 4 girls and was sick with them all. And when someone says it is a sign of a healthy pregnancy, dont you want to slap them?

lou33 · 18/09/2004 00:54

I couldnt eat for weeks

DelGirl · 18/09/2004 00:54

i'm not putting on too much weight though, thankfully, The baby must be using up all the calories cos i'm certainly not burning it off as I have no energy at all.

lou33 · 18/09/2004 00:54

yes completely.

More than slap them.

MUMINAMILLION · 18/09/2004 00:56

Where is all the 'blooming' thats meant to go on in pregnancy? Mine was just 'bloomin awful'.

DelGirl · 18/09/2004 00:57

I've heard it's worse with girls too, though some will say boys. A few people think I will have a girl and a few say a boy. I always thought I'd have a boy but I really have no thoughts either way at the moment and I really don't mind either as long as it's healthy. I've also heard m/s is the sign of a healthy pregnancy too but surprisingly at this moment in time it doesnt help the m/s

lou33 · 18/09/2004 00:58

I went from feeling like death warmed up, to feeling like a whale
i didnt get the blooming inbetween stage ever.

lou33 · 18/09/2004 00:58

Chances are you will have one or the other dg

I have to go to bed now.

See you tomorrow

DelGirl · 18/09/2004 00:59

I reckon you 'bloom' in the 2nd trimester, or think you do cos you felt so bl**dy awful in the 1st so anything better must be a bonus mustn't it.

We'll now have to call this thread the m/s thread or 'Miserable as Sin' waddya reckon?

DelGirl · 18/09/2004 01:00

night Lou

MUMINAMILLION · 18/09/2004 01:00

No dg, thats the name for the depression board! Night lou.

DelGirl · 18/09/2004 01:02

That's what I meant....

MUMINAMILLION · 18/09/2004 01:03

Sorry - really tired!!! Forgot this was the thread we were on. [shame]

MUMINAMILLION · 18/09/2004 01:03

DelGirl · 18/09/2004 01:05

MUMINAMILLION · 18/09/2004 01:10
