is any one`else losing weight????
i have lost half a stone since finding out..........im not throwing up either!

bloody antibiotics have given me thrush.....so had to use some canesten cream in desperation last night!!! do you think its ok to use that cream???

 

[Tobaira]

I'm not sure what canesten cream is but I know there were some things that were ok to use according to a list my ob gave me. Unfortunately it's upstairs and I'm all the way in the basement and just don't have the energy to face two flights of stairs right now. I'll check and see what it has on there next time I go up lol!

I haven't lost weight but only gained a few pounds which is amazing, with how much I'm eating I feel like I should have gained about 7lbs =)

Here we go again! Negative HPT this morning, back ache and cramps. Bye Bye Beanie

Was lovely talking to you ladies, wishing you all a very happy & healthy 9 months. xx

 

[trixie79]

oh lauraemily im so sorry hun xxx

 

[workingttc]

Lauraemily, my heart is breaking for you! So so sorry. I hope you can get some help from a doctor to make sure this doesn't happen to you again.

 

[lilrojo]

Oh lauraemily, im so sorry you are going through this again.. I do hope you can see a dr as well to find some answers.. and dont settle for the you have to have 3 first crap.. Im so sorry and big hugs go to you and your family..

 

[Tobaira]

so sorry to hear that lauraemily


I had my endocrinologist appointment today to check my thyroid, apparently my TSH levels have gone above where they should be so she is taking me off what little amount of medication (PTU) I was on. Hopefully that will stabilize me a little lower. She said it might be adding to my level of fatigue (but also that it might not be so not to expect a miracle lol). Luckily it's not too far off, such a fine line to keep all the numbers where they should be. It would be great if my body could just manage itself during the pregnancy so I don't have to take any meds.

 

[workingttc]

Can I ask when you girls started feeling morning sickness? I'm totally freaking myself out because I'm 5 weeks 3 days and nothing yet...Is it ok not to get it till later?

 

[Tobaira]

maybe you're one of the lucky ones. I'm 9w2d and I still haven't had any morning sickness (and I have two in there).

 

[lilrojo]

Most women dont get it till they are 6 weeks.. with my dd it was about then, with my mc's it was earlier, and now with this one it was in the 6th week.. so I say give it another week or two.. and if nothing consider yourself lucky..

 

[workingttc]

Thank you both, that makes me feel so much better!

 

[LadyL]

So sorry lauraemily! Fingers crossed you will get your forever baby soon!!

Working, I haven't had any morning sickness at all, so I wouldn't worry about it! Maybe you will be lucky too!

Tobaira, do you have hyperthyroidism? Just wondering why they would take you off medicine if your levels were up. Most people are hypo, and they take meds to keep their levels low.

Lilrojo, I'm guessing your scan went well yesterday?!

I had my first appt/scan today and all was well. One healthy little bean with a good, strong heartbeat! Can't ask for anything better than that. Got some sweet pictures!

Apparently about week 28, I'm gonna have to change doctors! I am so upset about this! I love my doctor and she's the only one I've ever had! But since I work at a hospital, my stupid insurance won't let me deliver anywhere else! I can't complain too much, because it will be free, but I was planning on just paying more and having my baby at the hospital my doctor delivers at. She has 2 good recommendations for doctors at my hospital, and a lot of my co-workers have used them and they really like them, but still! I want MY doctor!! And they are both male. I know a lot of people use male drs., but for lady matters, I prefer someone who has the same "business" as me! Haha!

Oh, and they moved my due date up to February 7th! So, now I'm a prune! Yay!

Hope you are all doing well!!

 

[lilrojo]

Thanks LadyL.. and yes my appt went great.. Beanie was is there and perfect.. with a hb of 124.. go back in 2 weeks on the 27th and see the nurse educator and my ob... am on cloud 9 right now and feel great..

Here is a pic of my scan..

and sorry you cant have your dr.. that stinks i would be so upset if i couldnt have my dr.. i love him already..

 

[workingttc]

Great news on your scans, girls!!!

 

[_dreamer_]

lauraemily, i'm so sorry to hear you're going through that again. i hope the doctors can help you.

lilrojo what a beautiful scan, so glad baby is doing well.

workingttc i had bad nausea and sick a couple of times but only for a week, think that was about 6-7. then nothing since. i think i read 25% of women dont get it so i wouldnt worry, also dont wish for it, it was nasty!!! was so glad i only had a taster then mine passed!

ladyl yey for prunes, my EDD at the mo is 6-7th Feb! can't wait for my 12 week on the 27th july, counting down!

 

[Claire1]

Hi Ladies, I'm back from sunny cyprus! Had an amazing holiday, very relaxing. Did hardly anything...just what I needed! Flight went really well, I was a bit concerned about it, but it was fine.
Anyway, I was fine. My symptoms seem to have gone and feeling less tired. Just still really sore bb's sometimes.

Hope you're all well and looking after yourselfs.

Yay....nearly 2nd tri!!!!

 

[lilrojo]

Thanks ladies... Dreamer my next appt is july 27th too.. but no scan for me.. just meeting with the educator, which i think is a bit dumb seeing as this will be my second baby i know what to eat etc.. lol but oh well and thats an hr then my ob for a half an hour.. will be a long morning.. will need snacks..

Hoping i can get another scan, but not sure if i will or not.. will talk to dr about it at my appt.. would love to beanie again to know all is okay around my mc milesstone date, 12 weeks..

But anywhoo hope all your all well.. and have a great weekend..

 

[Tobaira]

LadyL - sorry to hear about having to switch doctors - I know what you mean, I prefer to have a female doctor as well. Just makes me more comfortable. I will actually be switching insurance at the end of this year over to my husband's which worries me a little being that I will be so far along but the new insurance covers my current doctor and doesn't lock me out for a pre-existing condition. I do have hyperthyroidism, so coming off the medication will help bring the TSH levels down since the medication helps increase it from being too low. Seems like it should be opposite I know. Yay on being a prune!

yay for your scan lilrojo! I love seeing those =) My next one is July 25th, I'll only be 11 wks but that's when they scheduled it for, so I'm not complaining. Will be nice to actually get to talk to the doctor about there being 2 since she wasn't in the office when I had my first scan.

Glad you had a nice holiday Claire, a vacation sounds so lovely. I'm trying to save all my days off in case I need them later. I have 13.5 days (our sick and vacation days are combined) that I can take off for the rest of the year although right now plus 6 that I have scheduled around thanksgiving since we were going to be traveling to the in-laws, but as I will be 28wks with twins that will most likely not be happening (they live 1800 miles away in New York).

feeling decent today.. almost made it through the night without waking up so I got 7 consecutive hours of sleep in a row!!! I swear that hasn't happened in about 6 weeks lol!

 

[Claire1]

Blimey, dont blame you for putting off new york. That will be quite a trek when your preggers with twins!
Thats it for me now, like you im keeping all my holiday for later in the year to tag onto my maternity time. I'm hoping to finish mid dec and will take 9 months off work. Quite a scary thought all of that time off! Im not due till end of jan, but i really dont want to go back after crimbo.
Glad your feeling better, hope it continues for you x

 

[_dreamer_]

Ooo Claire, i'm hoping to do the same with my hols, will take 1 week Sept/Oct to break it up, then saving 2 and a 1/2 or 3 weeks for over and after xmas before starting maternity leave mid Jan. Hoping my last day will be 23rd Dec!!! Can't believe thats only 5 months and a week away!!!
