It's good to hear that people are starting to feel better!:thumbup: I'm still pretty sick though. it got better for a week and now it's back with a vengeance! lol. my grandma was sick all 9 months with her pregnancies though and my mom had the same for 2 out of 4 of us... praying that's not genetic!

Also, is anyone else really dizzy and off balance? every time I get up I have to wait for my vision to clear as if I'm about to pass out. :shrug:
 
Hopeful -

I get lightheaded and see circles if i get up too quickly. I have always had low lood pressure, last week's visit measuring 90/50. It is annoying, but the medical staff don't seem bothered by it, and i have a healthy toddler from my first pregnancy.

I've read that lying on your left side will ensure maximum blood flow to your heart and brain. Also i'm not sure if you really want to go this route but there are stockings you can buy to help blood circulation from your lower body. I've also found that if i don't drink enough water it gets worse (and sometimes if i haven't eaten something in the last three hours).

Hope this helps.
 
Gem09 - i wasn't around when you were active on this thread, but i am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you will have a quick recovery physically and emotionally. All the best to you and your family :hugs:.
 
My midwife appointment today was lovely. We had a great chat and she is hopeful that if I try and eat healthier once the nausea is past and start gentle exercise again in the 2nd tri I may get away with no more weight gain all pregnancy. I really hope so. I lost 8 1/2 stone before my wedding last year and don't want to go back where I was! I got loads of books to take home for DH to read and she will send out my 12 week scan appointment asap.
I am feeling a good bit better the last couple of days. Less nausea and not sleeping quite so much. Hoping that this is it now!!

Wow Lala what an amazing weight loss!! Well done u!! I bet i felt amazing on your wedding day :) Did u follow any diet plan? I did Weight Watchets Pro Points, it has been the only diet programe that has ever worked for me & I have tried pretty much everyone going!!! So did the midwife mean if u ate healthy and exercise u could stop the weight gain completely? Or not gain any apart from the weight of the growing baby/uterus etc? I'm gonna try and be good from tomorrow. I went for a run tonight, feel better for it. Do u think running and classes like Zumba are ok?

Good for you Lala! Did she try to hear the HB with a doppler? I am headed to my appt right now and hoping to hear a HB.

I am heading back to the gym next week...I still haven't been feeling great but I have to get moving so that I don't gain 70 pounds again like last time~!
 
Good luck at your appt Krippy! What exercise are u planning on doing at the gym?
 
I do spin classes and light lifting, I am also a competitive swimmer. What I have heard for exercise that if you did it before you were pregnant then there is no reason why you can't do it while you are pregnant. I have only done zumba once and it was soooo hard! Good on you for doing that and running! I can not stand to run! :) But I do hike a lot with my pups!
 
Krippy - good luck at your appointment

Lalar - i had no idea how much weight you lost until i googled the conversion of what 8.5 stone is in kilos. 54kg that is amazing!

Afm - i have a followup scan today at 3.30pm Sydney time to check on the subchorionic hematoma, so in just over 8 hours' time. Hopefully they will tell me that it's pissed off and that baby is doing beautifully :)
 
thanks Bay!:hugs:
Lala, that's great! :thumbup:
Good luck Krippy! :happydance:
I heard the same thing about exercise and have been trying my hardest to stay on the treadmill, but easier said than done!:blush:
 
I've been feeling really dizzy as well.. Although it got better in the last couple of days.

Kate – my colleague is a zumba instructor and says it's a no no during pregnancy. I've only tried it once but I know I wouldn't want to try it again now! If you are used to it though it's not the same, but it sounds like she wouldn't take a pregnant woman in her class.

The hospital called me - my thyroid is low and I need to take a pill everyday now to balance things out. I'll get tested every month. Apparently it's common during pregnancy...
 
Appt went great! HB of 178...It took her awhile to find and I was almost freaking out! But there it was nice and fast! So happy and excited right now!

GL with the thyroid meds...They are easy to take and you will feel better soon! :)
 
Gem I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find peace with everything.
 
grenouille- my mother in law had to take thyroid meds when she was pregnant with my DH. she said it was soo much better once she was in them! :thumbup: I've heard it's super common in pregnancy as well.
Krippy- Yay!! that's a great HB rate! so happy for you! :hugs:
 
Kate, the midwife was hopeful that I could avoid much more gain at all by healthy eating and light exercise as I will naturally lose a lot of what I have gained so far and that will balance out the pregnancy gain. I just have to behave. Because of the spotting early on I am not allowed to do any impact exercise so I can't go back to body attack, combat or zumba. I can do swimming, walking and exercise bike work once 1st tri is over.

Krippy, no HR with doppler yet. They don't routinely do that here until 24 weeks at MW appointments and 18 at GP appointments.

Bay, how was your repeat scan? Has the SCH gone now?
 
Awesome Krippy! Isn't it amazing to hear? Especially now while the baby is still so tiny. No matter how many times I hear it I think I will be amazed every time.

Nitengale, how exciting! I just made it to 12wks on Saturday, it's a great milestone, and here in the US means we are now in the 2nd trimester :happydance:

Been incredibly tired the past couple of days, we've had heavy storms at night all week and normally that helps me sleep, but now every sound is keeping me awake. Hoping it passes and I don't stay this tired too long, I was hoping to stock up on sleep while I still can!
