My m/s got progressively worse...but, I finally picked up my prescription and took it for the first time yesterday, and it lasted a good 4 hrs of feeling normal before I got sick. And I woke up today without feeling nauseous, I took another as a precaution. I can only take one every 8 hrs, so any relief in those 8 hrs is welcome. I feel pretty normal now!

Hopefully yours eases up soon, have you talked to your dr about maybe getting a prescription to help?

My morning sickness has been on and off, no nausea anymore just straight up vomiting. Today I puked twice this morning and I feel like if I get out of bed I'm gonna puke again. Idk if this is extreme morning sickness or a bug

 

[Jett55]

After I got out of the hospital all ms has pretty much gone. I had a flu bug one day but no more vomiting. Still feel nauseous here & there but not bad at all.

My morning sickness is gone and has been replaced with the most sensitive nose and gag reflex! I can't change poopy or heavily soaked urine (think morning wake up) diapers on DD anymore without dry heaving a few times during the process. Being in public restrooms gives me the same reaction, and sometimes using the toilet myself will cause it. Poor DH has been changing all the poopy diapers for me as that seems to be the worst. There's really no warning as I feel fine, smell something off and then just immediately start LOUDLY dry heaving.

It even happened after we BD the other day because of the smell

Hi Ladies!

We have our next appointment booked March 4th don't think I will get a scan though, the next scan will probably be April 4th as I'll be 18+5 but it depends on what the doc says.

I have been totally paranoid this pregnancy and I don't think I would make it from one appointment to another if DH hadn't bought me a doppler! Just so worried something is going to happen.

Hugs to the ladies who still have MS, it should get better soon! I haven't heard of anyone having it all the way through.

My nose has been sensitive too, had to get out of an elevator at work the other day! And I find if I get too warm I start to gag and feel nauseous. I have to start stripping and lie down. At first DH thought it was great, but then he saw the look on my face and asked if I needed anything instead of just staring at me take my clothes off in the living room....

ChristiansMum, is your DS feeling any better?

Ashley8806, so glad your scan was normal!

WanaBaba, my tummy has been itchy.

And for stretch marks I heard the same as someone else said, if you are going to get them you will. I did last pregnancy =( pretty badly, but I used Bio Oil and they are hardly noticeable now.

 

[Ashley8806]

I just booked our gender ultrasound for March 11th! But since we're doing a gender reveal we probably won't know until March 12th Boo. I'm so impatient!

 

[mel28nicole]

I ended up going to the ER I vomited again. I was dehydrated so got some fluids and some medicine for my terrible headache and zofran for the nausea. They prescribed me the zofran too so I have that now. Hopefully MS will finally disappear soon!

 

[Lunachick]

I'm due Aug 1st

My most recent scan was the NT u/s but it would have cost $30 which I didn't have so unfortunately had to miss out on that one. So all I have to date is the ultrasound from 9 weeks. Find out the gender March 13th!

 

[Jazzbird]

Hi to all the m/s ladies. I still have permanent nausea although the vomiting has lessened. I'm finding taking 40mg of vitamin b6 helpful although not a cure.

It really sucks to have it so long! Read the placenta takes over fully at wk 18 - perhaps this is when things will settle down!

 

[ChristiansMum]

DS is better now, still has a few spots on his face but he isn't contagious any more. Think I will take the kids for a walk today as we haven't left the house for 3days now x

Ugh my midwife irritated me today.

I went for my 16 week appointment. I've been having Braxton Hicks this week. I know they are because I had them from 26 weeks last time every singly day every fifteen minutes (on a good day) or every 3 minutes (on a bad day). Every day. All the time. I know what Braxton Hicks feel like. The doctors never figured out why it was happening and when they clearly weren't leading to preterm labour they just sort of ignored them. I self-diagnosed an irritable uterus, but I don't know if that's what's wrong with me.
I'm annoyed and worried that these Braxton Hicks are starting so much earlier this time. I have the same tensed clenched feeling like last time and when I reach to feel the top of my uterus (only bit I can feel just above my pelvis) it's rock hard just like it used to be. It's definitely a Braxton Hicks contraction. I was trying to explain this to her, trying to even get her to feel, but she wouldn't and just told me it was too soon. I felt like screaming - it's not too soon, they start from around 7 weeks in all women, but most women don't feel them. Considering my history, is it so surprising I would feel them and recognise the feeling? She has referred me to a consultant for an appointment and I hope that brings some more reassurance. I'm worried it's starting so soon this time. Is my baby too little to withstand the pressure of constantly being squeazed? Ugh, sorry, just need to vent!

[HWPG]

vent away squirrel!
i think it's very frustrating when drs/mws dont listen to what we know about our bodies. yes, they are the experts and "have seen it all", but it doesnt mean that "all" applies to individuals. funny you mention this about BHs because i was working out today and at one point laid on my belly and it was very hard, and i had never noticed this before. just wonder if it's the same thing....? (i certainly would not know). regardless, i'm glad you are being referred. you said last time that it was something your body just did, so maybe this time it's the same - and i'm sure if they become more frequent or real contractions, you will know and they will do everything they can for you and baby squirrel.

I have loads of stretch marks from puberty too, including belly and boob ones, so thought I might get more when pregnant, but the worst that happened was two of my existing belly stretch marks grew about an inch at the tops of them! They were deep purple but quickly faded to the silver of the rest of them without using any products. There isn't anything that will prevent them, as they are pretty much just genetic. I like to call them tiger stripes rather than stretch marks. I EARNED those lil extra stripes! Hehe.

Feeling so paranoid right now, I haven't felt anything more than flutter since last weeks kick, so I am looking forward to tomorrows midwife appointment to get a heartbeat!!

I have a huge bump, but of course the uterus is still below my belly button so most of it is just my insides (and fat!) being pushed up and out!! Lol.

 

[ChristiansMum]

I am so worried, I have has ear ache all day and DH currently has a cold (man flu) and took the last of the paracetamol work and I forgot to get some at the shop so I asked my brother to go get me some and when he brought them round I just took some without checking and an hour or so later I realised they were paracetamol plus and not suitable for pregnant ladies ... I'm so worried now x

 

[sore-boobs]

Can I come In? Only just found this thread, I'm due 25th August. X

 

[flyingduster]

OK, here is a pic of me today, at 16 weeks.

What is scary is that this is very comparable to my 24 week pic last time...!

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Welcome sore-boobs! I just found the thread last week =)

flyingduster, your bump reminds me of me, but you are a little further along. I already look about as pregnant now as I did at 20 weeks last time... I know it is not the baby and have to assume it is "stuff" getting displaced, as you said above!

Christiansmum, I'm sure it is fine. There isn't a lot of drug testing done on pregnant woman for obvious reasons so most stuff just says it isn't suitable. And since you only took it once it is probably fine... just don't take it again now that you know.

 

[clynn11]

Of course you're welcome sore-boobs ((lol love the name!!)) I'll add yo to the front page
