Due In May :)

[prolifer]

I can feel lots of flutters, it feels really weird down there in my abdomen for a while and then goes back to normal.

Just as I suspected, all 3 kids are sick with my teen's cough now and I am getting it too. *shakes head* Did we cross the path of a black cat or something??

 

[Powell130]

My cousin, wife and 2 kids have had at least 1 of them sick since like August. It's terrible!

 

[Jary]

Think I'm getting the start of a cough! Chest feels all tickly.

My nightshift at work didn't go well. I got there, started doing patients night meds and started feeling light headed and faint. Sat down for a few minutes and had a drink of water and felt a little better so carried on, started feeling faint again but wanted to push on, went to get a patients tablets and then had to rush off to be violently sick!

Felt better after that but soon my tummy started aching again and my colleague thought I should go home. She rang our night manager to see if anyone could take over while I was sick again lol.

Luckily they had cover and so I drove home at like midnight. Felt so useless but with the way I was feeling I don't think it would have been a good idea to stay.

Nice part about driving home at that time was that I saw two foxes and two deer!

And yay I'm an orange!

Yayy for 15 weeks jary! Can't believe some of you are almost halfway! Xx

 

[Hann12]

Jary sounds like an eventful night! Ms still or a bug do you think? Hope you feel better today and yay for oranges!

Sorry everyone has a cold/cough hopefully it will go soon!

Sinus headaches are generally at the front, I get them badly, if you move your head forwards and it feels heavy and painful it's likely to be sinuses. I have had one for the past week, they also make you feel tired as there is lots of pressure around your eyes.

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Bleugh I am also another one with a cold, I wish it would just go away lol think bubs is doing alot of growing today as i feel heavy and I actually feel duffed lol! x

 

[Jary]

I don't know what it was Hann. My throat was sore all day yesterday which didn't help my gag reflex. Seems that it's moved onto my chest now. But it was quite scary as when OH and I were out on Sunday I felt lightheaded too and went all hot and cold. Once I'd eaten and sat down for a bit I was fine but I hope it doesn't keep happening when I'm on my feet because my job is mainly being on my feet! Never thrown up like that since being preg either. Yuck!

 

[Sass827]

I was feeling that way last week Jary, and yesterday had to go to the doctor because I just couldn't breathe. I felt so bad. They said my ears were red and bulging and they gave me a z pack for bronchitis. Maybe you have something coming on?

 

[Jary]

It feels like something is brewing on my chest. It's just tickly for the mo but if it starts getting chesty/rattly I'll call the doc. I'm usually good for fighting off coughs but I suppose it's different when preggers.

Lol every time I cough I think of my scan when they made me cough and baby got thrown about. Poor thing is probably wondering what on earth is going on!

 

[Sass827]

They say we have like no immune system when pregnant. I tried fighting it too. Tons of OJ, fluids, fruits, veggies, loads of sleep, but it just got worse very slowly. Almost so slow that I didn't really notice until it was really bad. I was waking in the morning sounding like a frog in my throat and a fish out of water in my lungs. Oh, I'm also sleeping next to a humidifier. I hope you beat it. But don't be dumb like me and let it get so far out of control.

 

[Jary]

Ill see what I'm like in the morning. Glad I have tomorrow off too before back to work on Thursday. Gives me time to rest a bit.

Feel really tired today too. Got duvet on the sofa!

 

[Powell130]

I had a low blood sugar incident this morning (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it was.) even tho it was like only an hour since I ate a bunch of grapes and had some hot chocolate for breakfast. I had hot flashes, felt really weak. shakey & like I'd pass out if I stood up. It freaked me out!

 

[Jary]

That's how I've felt Powell if I'm stood up too long! Even when I was eating sweets, it is scary...felt like I'd throw up and pass out at the same time >.<

 

[Hann12]

Powell try not to eat things high in sugar - stick to a GI diet. Grapes = sugar, Hot chocolate = sugar. You took a sugar rush then had a big dip afterwards which would make you weak. If you can eat a low GI diet it maintains your blood sugar level much better. I have to do it because my blood sugar dips too especially as I have low blood pressure. It helps I promise!

I feel like that too when I stand on my feet too long. Last time I was cooking dinner I ended up sitting in the kitchen floor waiting for my water to boil because I couldn't stand any longer!

Grapes are low on the GI tho?

 

[Hann12]

Are they? I just tend to thin of most fruit containing sugars

 

[Powell130]

Yeah, they're low. Their GI value is 43-53. So it was probably the hot chocolate that did it!

 

[Hann12]

I stand corrected lol! Yep hot chocolate could have done it though - its bit consistent though I find, something that makes it happen on one day will be fine the next! I can't stay away from chocolate though tbh, it's my weakness! I try to eat gi during the day then have my chocolate at night as find it doesn't affect me so much at night!
