My carpal tunnel is getting bad too. I have it in both hands but had surgery on the left on last February. That really helped, and it also eased up a bit in my right hand so I didn't get surgery on that one. For the past 2 weeks though, it has been painful, waking me up at night. Now it's starting to kick in during the day also I can't remember if chiropractic was what helped last time but I'm going to make an appt for next week to see if it will help. As bad as it is, with most of my hand and fingers going numb, I'm concerned about being able to hold baby so I have to take care of it somehow before he is born.

Haven't been on here for AGES!! Pregnancy seems to be flying by now!

So - how many boys and girls have we got? Can't believe it's my scan on Monday and we're finally going to know if it's pink or blue!! So excited!

Also super excited because I just brought loads of maternity stuff to wear in the sales... it's got to the point where it takes hours in the morning to find something comfy for work that doesn't look awful!

Here, it has at once been "where did all the time go?" whilst at the same time it's "why does this have to take so long?"

DW has hers on Monday too...! Best of luck with yours. So far the tally 11 boys / 8 girls (including some that were reported on the Feb/March gender scan thread).

i'm going to ask at my appointment next week if she can. I'm most mad because i paid the office $20 to fill out the form and if they were just going to deny it why did i bother paying!

Tlh, that is crap! I hope you get it all straightened out!

Eve, so glad to hear from you! I hope you and moonbaby are well Amazing bump as always!

Donna, I'm sorry work gives you problems! And I hope you get some relief soon.

Myra, I hope you also see improvement with your carpal tunnel!

MrsMcP, nice to hear from you again! Good luck at your scan Monday!

Anon, I bet you and Miss Bellum are so excited for Monday! Can't wait to hear all about it

As for me, my husband felt his very first kick last night! He said he barely felt it but I confirmed what he felt was little Aisling

Still rough as hell. Fed up of being ill. Can't be online very long as sitting up makes me feel ill and browsing on my phone is hard work.
Would love to be able to enjoy my pregnancy! So jealous of you guys who can!!

i know what you mean about enjoying pregnancy. i had an extremely easy pregnancy with my first, but i didn't get a chance to enjoy it because it was unexpected and i was trying to work full time and go to school fulltime to finish my degree. i always said when i had another baby i'd enjoy the pregnancy. However, this time i've been so sick 99% of the time i haven't had a chance to enjoy it!

That sucks It can't be right that they could fire you for that. You were just going by what HR told you at the time, and its not your fault that the doc only clarified things today. hope you get it sorted

Good to see you back! Hope you can stay out of the hospital, and that you start feeling better soon. Cute bump pic x

How exciting to feel a kick! I have only just started to feel flutters, and I'm not too sure about those either.

Sounds like a horrible boss to have Hope things get sorted out. Hope you can get your carpal tunnel sorted too, sounds very painful.

Sounds very painful, hope you can get some treatment to help

Snap! My scan is on Monday too, I cant wait to see if we have a boy or girl

I haven't done so well on the maternity clothes. There wasn't a great deal of choice in our local shops, and it seems that I am too much of a midget for normal length trousers. Ended up having to buy full price on line as there was nothing decent on ebay either.

Yep, we are both very excited for Monday! How great that your husband can feel your little girl. I cant wait for Anon to be able to feel ours. At the moment, I have only felt a few flutters, and I cant be sure of those either!

Eve, I don't remember if you've said before, but did you get any relief from HG in 2nd tri last time around? I sure hope you start feeling better very soon, I can only imagine how difficult pregnancy gets when you are that sick all of the time.

Tlh, so sorry you are so sick too! I hope you feel better. Are you still having morning sickness (or HG, I apologize, I do not remember if you had also been diagnosed) or is it more due to the fact that it is cold/flu season? Either way, hope you get well soon!

I just finished my classes for the day and I don't work today so I am heading home I have quite a bit of reading to do as well as a project to finish so I am going to try to get that done so I can relax a bit this weekend. I work tomorrow and we have a lot to work on in Aisling's room so I'd like to have time to do a little this weekend. I'm also thinking I need to get maternity jeans mine still fit but aren't very comfortable, not sure what I'm really waiting for!

thankfully i wasn't diagnosed with HG. i have the vomiting under control with medication for the most part. i just have constant nausea that makes me want to stay in bed for weeks!! sometimes i think itd be better to just throw up but nothing wants to come out at this point
