woop woop another with not tablets and another day clearing my dinner plate. was a struggle though. felt sick a few times today but not too bad. 15 weeks on sunday and 5 weeks Monday till we find out what team we are.
I've really ballooned this week, midwife thinks baby is right at the front as she could see baby when I laid down, would explain why i'm showing so much earlier with this one then I did my boys.

 

[catmummyof4]

My kids are crazing me this morning!!! 5am they started my heads pounding i feel like poop and iv got to go to slimmers world in an hour!! Honest to god no idea how il survive today lol xx

 

[Smile181c]

[catmummyof4]

Yh i did a little dance my 20month old son just crept in and gave me a kiss can never stay mad with him lol xx

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Catmummy, what is slimming world like. I've been given a referral but I'm not too keen. I gained no weight in my last pregnancy and am down 4lbs so far in this one so I'm not sure what I'd get from it?

 

[catmummyof4]

Mrs bump honestly? I think its not great when i follow the plan i dont lose however my mum has lost 1 stone 10 poind in 14 weeks without much effort. So i dont follow the plan but dotry eating healthy the only reason i go is because if i stop my mum will and shes doing soo amazingly . Iv lost half a stone (up and down) since finding out im pregnant and past 3 weeks iv stayed the same so i must be losing it slowly thank god xx

damn thought my sickness was getting better but today was a bad day, thrown u 4 times, 3 of which was while I was at work. feel really sick at the moment. Anti-sickness tablets just makes me feel worse.

 

[missmayhem]

feeling you on the sickness!! I find if i over do it which doesn't take much i'm a mess!!

I've a constantly snack i feel a lot better

 

[aley28]

Littlesteph, I had to stop taking my anti-sickness meds as they were making me vomit After I was done vomiting after taking them, I felt better - but taking them and then being violently sick 20 minutes later was a bit of a downer!!
I hope your morning sickness takes it leave soon!

AFM; I had my oldest son's birthday party today, so I've been go-go-go since last night (I baked the cake). My pelvis is KILLING ME. The party was at our locally owned version of Chuck-E-Cheese, and my kids were dragging me all over the place. So what was yesterday just some tenderness in the center of my pelvis has now spread to both hips and has me hobbling like a 97 year old lady. So my plan for tomorrow: Do Absolutely Nothing.

Anyway!! I barely felt the baby all morning as I was just too busy, but as soon as we got home, I've been getting those early spurts of movements that are like huge bursts of flutters, that last for 20-30 seconds at a time. So I actually have time to register that its the baby AND get a second to enjoy it before the movement disappears.

 

[catmummyof4]

Awww aley im glad you all had a good day not so glad about the pain lol! Im deffo feeling baby but only for a second bring on those large spurts lol xx

 

[aley28]

Thanks cat!
My husband went out for drinks with some of his buddies tonight. I went to bed at 10p, (then lay there for an hour ) then finally fell asleep. I woke up at midnight because I needed to roll over -- 5 minutes later, I finally am able to lay down on my opposite side. Then DH comes in super drunk and wants sex but fortunately passed out before I even had to fully formulate a rejection. Then I had to pee, which ignited a massive pity party for myself, as I realized that needing to pee meant I had to get up, and getting up means another struggle to get out of bed, not to mention the agony of walking all 15 feet to the bathroom.

So between the pelvic pain and the heartburn (stupidly ate some cake before bed Eating before sleep gives me definite heartburn, no matter how sure I am to faithfully take my pantaprazole!!), I've moved out to my chair and I'll just sleep sitting up, just as soon as I quit feeling sorry for myself!

The early onset of the SPD this pregnancy has destroyed all enjoyment of the pregnancy. If I sit perfectly still and get movement, I feel happy. But every time I get up to walk I'm reminded that I still have 22 more weeks of this and I just want to cry.

What do I have to do to get crutches?

 

[Twag]

aley I would ask for crutches hun sounds super painful do you have a bump support?

I got my wrist splints on Friday and although it is odd not being able to bend your wrists so much better :thumb up:

This morning I felt bubs on the outside whilst I was laying watching kids tv with DS tiny movement/prods against my hand Only a few.but was defo baby

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Just tried on my h and m maternity leggings. Flattering, not at at all. The single most comfortable thing I've had on in the last fortnight, totally. The problem is I can't bring myself to take the tags off my maternity clothes. I don't know if it's all this high risk stuff but part of me feels like I'm still in that scary early pregnancy high risk of miscarriage stage.

 

[aley28]

Twag, I don't have any bump support yet. I was thinking about that last night too... I plan to get online today and see what I can find. Its mixed reviews as to whether they actually help or not, but I figure doing nothing is the only thing that's going to truly hurt me at this point! And I'm definitely asking about crutches at my next appointment. I hate to admit it, but at this rate I'm going to need them, at least for the bad days!

Sleeping in my chair last night did help -- both with the heartburn and with my pelvis. I'm able to move around a bit this morning and don't feel like I'm going to break. I'm not moving very quickly, but that's OK!! At least I can get to the bathroom without wanting to cry!

SPD is a cruel joke of Mother Nature's, I'm pretty sure.

MrsBump, I don't think I'll be able to relax enough to purchase much for the pregnancy/baby until after V-day??? And I'm not even any sort of high risk. Snip the tags off your new leggings though -- even if they are totally unflattering, you deserve to be comfy!

 

[missmayhem]

amazing how many names in here I recogonise, hi Aley and Twag

 

[littlesteph]

theres a few here from my last pregnancy too

sickness hasn't been too bad today, things I've had before no problems are now making me feel ill. at this rate there will be nothing for me to eat or drink. at the moment all I can seem to drink without feeling ill is apple. ended up having almost a 2 hour nap at my in laws. it was about half 5 when I feel asleep woke up and it was quarter past 7, my mum in law had put on a dvd to keep my boys quite so they didn't wake me, must have needed it to nap that long.

Aley will they not send you to physio to get a proper bump support? I know they do over here as one of my NCT friends has just got one for her SPD and she said it is like a really strong tuby grip but seems to help

MrsBump I know I am not high risk and I have only just managed to bring myself to buy some maternity clothes today and that is only because I borrowed some last time but they were too big when I was huge and they are winter clothes so I need some this time and bump is growing fast it seems
But do take the tags off and be comfy in your unflattering leggings
BTW New Look has some decent affordable maternity clothes where I just ordered some from

amazing how many names in here I recogonise, hi Aley and Twag
