I'm ok girlies! The nausea has really stepped up a notch now but at least I now have a week off work. Also it turns out that a patient i've been looking after at work this week may have shingles. Not been able to get hold of midwife but not sure that it warrents any more urgent access to care. I've had chicken pox as a child so hoping i'm not likely to catch. Got my booking appt on tues anyway but will try to ring midwife on monday.

In happier/ slightly amusing news was having lovely cuddles with my friends 2 week old today and cos both mum and dad were busy i said i'd change her. Turns out it's not as easy as it looks with such a tiny baby. I've changed bigger babies before but this was harder than i thought and she proper cried. She soon settled once i finished and picked her up for more cuddles though.

hope everyone else is getting on ok.

Hey Ladies,

It's been a while been tryint to catch up on the thread. How are you all doing? Well neausea and sickness is startint to settle a little but I want to wait a few days until I get too excited. I went to my work christmas party has a lovely mean and a little dance before going home and I was fine. I saw the midwives last week and my scan is next week so excited about that!!

 

[nimbec]

Gosh lotus time is flying by glad you are feeling a bit better and yay for the scan before Xmas

Amnio sorry about nausea I can relate to that well I had hypermemesis till 16weeks YUK!! It will pass tho I promise! I'm sure you will be perfect with your little one - it's almost worse when somebody else's as you feel judged by them.

Just me great news on test results it's about time you had some good news

 

[more babies]

Annio sorry to hear about MS getting worse for you! hopefully it doesn't stick around too long

Lotus so exciting to be getting your 12 week scan! Doesn't seem like it was that long ago that you get your positive!

Justme great news about your results!!

AFM I have my scan on Wednesday to hopefully see a heartbeat. Have to admit I'm definitely nervous about it! Ive been getting hit with exhaustion around 730-8 at night to the point of not being about to keep my eyes open Also just randomly get hungry in a matter of second which is weird. Boobs are killing me and I don't ever remember them hurting this bad in past pregnancies. Oh and I've finally gotten out of the seed stage on my ticker which is nice!

 

[more babies]

My other really annoying issue right now is that although I get hungry all the time there is nothing that I want to actually eat! Obviously I do eat but I've rarely been finishing things because halfway through I'm so disgusted by it I can't finish it. I'm already kind of a picky eater and stick to certain things so this is making it really difficult

 

[justmeinlove]

Could I recommend apple pie? Got me through the nausea

 

[annio84]

Any sort of fruit that's a little tangy makes my nausea a bit better. For example just had a tin of peaches and feel much less sick.

 

[iow_bird]

try sucking on ice to help with the nausea!

Plastik: you can't have enough muslin cloths for baby. (What the hell is the corse sea salt for)?????? and I would recommend getting a few newborn nighties, they are awesome for night time bum changes! And swaddle clothes if you plan to swaddle - get a few of those as baby's make cloths messy!!

AFM, we're slowly beginning to realise that we're having a baby! I've been in complete denial, then suddenly reaslied last night that I'm nearly 32 weeks, have no hospital bag packed, bassinet & change table are both full of stuff, and I am no where near ready for this wee one to come along!!
Ah well... when he turns up we'll be fine I'm sure, at least with a section i have afew days in a birth unit being looked after so hubby can sort anything we don't have ready yet!!
Excitingly, my Mum booked her flights today! yay!! She arrives on the 19th Jan and leaves on the 11th April, so I have her here for nearly 3 whole months! Hubby is not amused! hahaha!

Ugh I had a rough night last night. Dinner just didn't agree with me. I managed to keep it down but it was a long night. It doesn't help that I have a severe phobia of vomiting, which I know is completely ridiculous, but it makes things difficult and I'm terrified of getting hit with MS! I felt amazing during my first two pregnancies years ago and this one doesn't seem to be going that way. We'll see, I guess! I was at the store yesterday and was looking at baby stuff and I'm just dying to buy something but I'm going to hold off until I know everything is ok and this little one is definitely sticking!

Iowa I'm sure you'll get everything together in time for the baby to arrive! I think in general people are a little more relaxed after the first child. Although I will have such a big age gap with mine I'm a little afriad of starting over at the baby stage again but I'm sure it'll all come back to me! As for your mom coming I can't say my DH would be excited to have her for 3 months either! We also live less than 5 minutes away so its a completely different situation because we see them all the time! I bet it'll be nice to have her around to help and just to be able to spend the time with her!

I need to find some serious things to snack on! I feel like I'm starving all day long even after I've just finished eating. Going to buy some fruit today and give that a shot but I don't think it'll be enough. I don't ever remember being this hungry. Its unbelievable!

 

[justmeinlove]

hehehehe well if it's any help, you totally sound like I did. It was a bit scary at times, I felt like I would never manage to get full!

 

[more babies]

Yes! Even when I know my stomach is full I still feel like I'm starving! I just keep telling myself its a good sign that things are moving forward!

 

[justmeinlove]

I ate apple pie and pizza ;-) it helped

 

[more babies]

Ultrasound in 2 1/2 hours! I'm so nervous and really hope there's a heartbeat there!! DH is meeting me there since the doctors office is right down the street from his work so hopefully its all good news!

 

[justmeinlove]

Uber good luck!

 

[nimbec]

Good luck Hun!!!

 

[justmeinlove]

Argh argh the FECKING heartburn!!!! Along with a much more active Boo now, it seems to be settling in as a regular feature - colour me unimpressed... I shall see if I can mooch a Dr tomorrow to prescribe me antacids

On the good side, no more work this year for me. Which may result in lots of productivity if I can stop the burning

 

[annio84]

just me -poor you.

more babies - how was scan?

IOW - i can see myself being just like that. sure you'll be fine though.

i was actually sick for the first time yesterday in the middle of town - so embarrassing. also the midwife said i'm borderline ketotic so i need to try harder to eat more which is hard because i feel so sick. I also have my scan appt but it's not til jan 15th which seems ages away. i'm sure it'll come round soon enough.
