(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[luz]

Holy cow!!! Some people these days I tell ya!!! Like you said when it rains it pours. Just sucks how awful things have been for you the last few days. Is your DH alright? Glad you guys moved out!

Yes it's been rough but it will only make us stronger in the end. I have faith in my relationship and there is a reason for EVERYTHING! I feel like with all the crap we're dealing with lately and the amount of stress we've been under if we can do THIS we can do ANYTHING!

Dh is completely find thank goodness!

I want to buy a doppler , where did you get yours??

I got my doppler off of amazon. With my first pregnancy i bought the angelsounds doppler, this time around DH surprised me with the sonolineB and it's been awesome! I love the external speaker and that it counts the heart rate.

Anyone else suffering with indigestion?

Anyone else suffering with indigestion?

Me!! I've gone from feeling sick every time I got hungry - which was all the time - to feeling full and not wanting to even see food all the time! It's like I've eaten a massive dinner and feel a bit sick afterwards, except it's constant. Have to push myself to eat otherwise I get very shaky. Every mouthful is torture! Sick feeling goes about 10 minutes of eating though. and today after lunch I inflated like a balloon and had burny feeling in the pit of my stomach for ages. Who would've thought feeling so ill all the time would make me smile so much?

I definately have had indigestion!!! It feels like the top of my stomach is going to explode from the pressure, doc told me Gas-X is fine to take, it doesn't work because I only take one but it definately takes the edge off.. . tums are ok too. It got so bad that I had to start watching what I eat!!

i wash my face day and night with a normal cleanser, something like neutrogena. . . the orange one. I know you're not supposed to use salycyclic or benzoyll peroxide creams but i do use them occasionally anyway. I used them for like 70% of my first pregnancy before i even found out they were supposed to be off-limits, so i figure every once in a while won't hurt.

My hair and skin are normal. I'd just concentrate on cleansing your skin and using extra conditioning treatments on your hair - Aussie do some great hair repair treatments

Mine is yucky too. I can wash my hair, and in less than 24 hours it'll feel limp and greasy. My skin isn't doing the best either. I don't understand it, pregnancy used to give me great hair and completely clear skin. Not this time! I've been trying to wash my face more, keep my hair up and try to wash it more but not too much to where it dries out. Hoping it's a phase that'll pass after first tri.

 

[Suzy_Q]

I have a new symptom... a visible and sensitive to touch lump in my right armpit I called the nurse she said it is likely just a milk-duct. I have to put warm cloth on it 2 to 3 times a day and if it's not better in 2 days (or turns red), I have to go in sooner. This pregnancy thing is so weird!

Oh, and I find I sigh more. I think I just need the deep breaths to circulate my 4 pints of extra blood. Which makes me wonder, why don't vampires (in the movies and legends of course) not feast on pregnant ladies? We make and circulate 50% more blood!

 

[brit3435]

Hi ladies had a dr appt today to follow up on my spotting. I'm still spotting and have been for almost a week now but baby's heartbeat was nice and strong. I go back to the dr in one week. I have to take it easy for now and that is not easy with a toddler at home and a hubby who works 11 hrs a day!

Diamond my face is broken out too I wash it every day but it still looks like it did in high school

Suzy q our blood doesn't increase much if at all in the first trimester..it starts to increase in the second tri and hits a max around 34weeks so your shortness of breath may be caused by something else I'm sure it's normal though!

Kaicee I can't imagine how stressed you must be going through everything with a baby and being pregnant! Hope things turn out for the best.

As far as indigestion I have that too if I eat too much it makes me throw up a little in my throat sometimes sorry tmi! Also terrible gas pains! Good to know gas x is ok to take I hadn't tried anything yet.

 

[DrGomps]

Brit, sorry about the spotting, but its good that the hb is so strong!

And actually blood volume increases gradually to 50% from
Conception. Also progesterone tends to dilate the vessels so
It can also cause dizziness. My blood pressure has already decreased this pregnancy.

Kaicee, hope everything is ok!

Diamond, yay for a house!

My skin isn't as bad this time. Pregnancy makes my hair thicker and healthier. I am getting it cut on Thursday cuz it's driving me nuts!

 

[DrGomps]

Suzy, that's nuts! Def do hot compresses. They think its milk and not a lymph node?

 

[Suzy_Q]

They think it's a milk-duct UNLESS it gets red and/or doesn't subside in a few days. I was worried and googled it and at first got terrified... then added the keywords of "in pregnancy" and found it was more common than I realized. I did call the nurse though and she said to call for an appointment if the red/not better happens. As always, safe rather than sorry is the new mantra with pregnancy!
