Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[merristems]

Aha thank you fj, and. The sneezing do you think thats the same reason? I guess it must be because i feel well not coldy! Xx

 

[flapjack10]

Yeah I reckon it's all the mucus wanting to get out and irritated nasal passages! Oh we're so attractive

 

[merristems]

Haha that and unusual hair growth and different body odour its a wonder we have any close friends!

 

[girlinyork]

I always get bloody snot since a few days after my bfp. Prop yourself up more at night so the mucus drains better from your sinuses x

 

[bethneebabe]

I haven been sneezing up a storm and draining a bunch too. I feel like I am just a mucus mess! Is everyone feeling movement by now? I'm 20 weeks and feel the occasional flutter and taps several times a day but not a full on kick.

 

[BeautifulD]

I'm the same... walking talking mucous machine! I also have a little issue when I sneeze

I'm the same bethneebabe, it's because I have an anterior placenta as when baby is down real low or hanging out on the left side I feel him properly but not at all when he's anywhere else

Ahhh sorry you're all a bit snotty ladies! Those of you who had coughs, did you take any cough mixture? I've got such a dry cough and it's driving me (and prob bubs) insane! So tired as keeps me awake. Ive tried all the other stuff. .steam, honey etc.

 

[mackjess]

My ob had me take cough suppressant and mucinex.

 

[A1983]

Ahhh mackjess I could kiss you! Only pharmacists telling ne only honey will do yet dr says codeine is ok for short term but im just fretting over harming baby...which cough suppressant?

 

[A1983]

Ps UK equivalent is Robittusin...it's category C but it seems many women use it/mucinex whilst pregnant?

For the past week or so they have been moving non-stop. When we had the 20 week U/S they were crazy little rascals and kept moving (though would stop long enough for the tech to get the shots). I think we're going to be in trouble when they start crawling.

This is the one my OH just bought, do you think it's ok/same as what you used?

[flapjack10]

I have felt some thumps... Mainly when I lie on my left side/back or lean forward. It's only happened about five times though. Anterior placenta and all that!

I'm so sorry girls I don't know what you can or can't take. My consultant said I could take codeine if I ever got a migraine - I get about one a year and it scares me if I have to go through it without codeine. As long as you don't become addicted I think it's ok!

Feel better soon

My little girl is making my whole belly quiver which her kicks and rolls and slams. It's amazing

 

[JFG]

Thank you ladies i'm still feeling rubbish but i can cope with that as long as my little one is ok..like you said as its just a cough and aches and pains i'm still eating and drinking plenty.

A1983 - my gp told me not to take anything other than the antibiotics and thats only if i can't clear it myself, I might take a paracetamol before bed though as my back is really aching from all the coughing!

 

[bethneebabe]

Sorry to hear you are still feeling poorly JFG. I hate having to make those judgement calls about medicine. Be sure to take care of yourself!

Thoughts anyone?? Dunno if I'm worrying about nothing xxx

I've been achy down there, but I am supporting 2 babies this time. I think it's pretty normal.

If it goes away with rest then it is probably ligaments/muscles but run it past your mw doctor to be sure x

Sitting here debating what to do. Was told to phone L&D if it was out of hours but don't wanna if it would seem making a mountain out a molehill. What do u think? Xxx
