A bump has appeared! And every one at work is commenting on how huge i am My (normally flabby belly) is hardening.

Still not felt anything 3 weeks til scan, still staying team yellow.

Hee hee Rota me too, had 3 people comment yesterday on how much I've 'grown' recently and my tummy has started t feel hard too, hurrah!

I'm so pleased as been suffering with aches, pains and feeling uncomfortable this week so it's nice to see something coming from it.

Hey everyone, just checking in!

Not been online much this week as been so tired and feeling uncomfortable and grumpy. Reading back I'm happy to see everyone talking about aches and pains, wish I'd logged on the other night now, might have felt a bit more reassured, but hey ho!

Off work for a week now, wahooo! Going away for a few days next week, cannot wait, going to look at baby things whilst we are away as there is a huge shopping park near where we are staying.

Got my downs blood results back yesterday and I'm low risk

[rem_82]

i had a nap without my pillow under my thighs, and woke in pain in my pelvis, so ladies try putting a pillow under your thighs, it makes a massive difference!!!!

hope everyone has a nice weekend!!! Although its freezing!!!!!!!

I am quite smallish (UK size 8) but I am losing weight at the moment. I think it is because I am following a healthy eating diet because I had diabetes in my last pregnancy and I am being super careful this time.

I gained 3.5 stone last time, but lots half a stone in the last 3 weeks of pregnancy. Once Ivy was out I had 1.5 stone to lose (loads of water) so it wasnt that horrific.

I think i will gain less this time just because of cake, fruit juice and white carbs being off the menu

Hello Everyone! It's been awhile since I have been on here. I hope everyone is doing well with growing bellies . I confirm the gender on Monday and can hardly wait!!!!

So I am having terrible sinus pains. So congested and TERRIBLE headaches. Does anyone know any natural remedies for this?

Thanks!

Are you drinking plenty of water, dehydration is the most common cause of headaches in pregnancy

 

[AmmCjm]

OH yeah! Drinking lots of water. I am really congested, my ears are itchy too. I really think it is my sinuses. I tried using a netti pot and I couldn't even get the water to come through my nose! I don't want to take meds

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I get headaches due to low blood pressure. Drinking will help that too. I drink water but reach for lucozade or lemonade if I feel faint, snacking little and often helps too.

I am what they call petite I suppose I have a small frame and I am only 5ft 1. I was 50kg at my first weigh in at 11 weeks I think and last week I was only 51kg but my weight changes all the time. I am afraid I dont eat really healthy and I do snack on junk and crave sugar alot lol but I always have been like that! Its the running about after the kids thats doing me in I think! People keep commenting about me eating more. Driving me mad!

My hips are killing me today! My son was in a SN kids club all morning so me and DD went to village fete but I am in agony now x

I had viral sinusitis (sp?) The other week. DON'T take decongestants,
The only thing I was able to do that actually helped was an olbas oil steam bath. Few drops of oil in a bowl of hot steamy water, head over and breathe in deep. Loosened sinuses for a wee while. I'm still suffering from ear problems from the virus but the blocked up nose shifted after a few days. Sleep with lots of pillows too. Don't lie flat.

 

[yellow11]

Also a few paracetamol a day for the headaches when they are at the worst.

My OB sheet says nasal sprays (like Afrin) are ok to use if you are super congested. Of course you can always use Vick's. It stinks but it works for me. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for the tip. I have a maternity pillow but haven't tried sleeping that way on it. I will see if that helps at all!
