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!

olbas oil works magic!

Neti pot saline rinse is good for the sinuses as well.

Had our scan this afternoon and little one looks well formed and healthy. The sonographer confirmed my gut feeling and told us we are TEAM PINK
I am still walking around in a mixed state of shock and euphoria It's going to take a while for it to sink in that I was right and that we're free to buy girlie stuff. DH is bummed out...everyone else is thrilled. I am so relieved that they said everything looks ok with her. A little daughter.....sigh

I feel your pain, my sinuses have behaved terribly throughout my pregnancy so far.

I was told olbas oil was a no no by the GP due to the concentration of it. But Vicks was ok. To be honest I tend to stick to saline drops every day to keep my nose clear and when they are bad steam inhalation (nothing added) or a little bit of Vicks vapour rub on the end of my nose.

Have you tried Aloe Vera gel?

Congrats on the pink!!!

Be careful with Afrin - it's addictive (seriously) and it can really damage your nasal passages if you use it more than the recommended time. Also can cause nosebleeds. I am surprised it would be ok during pregnancy...my dr always gives me a good talking to when I mention i use it : /

 

[yellow11]

I was scolded so hard for taking it only once in each nostril when I was super contested, by my gp, my midwife, hospital doctor, nurse and out of hours doctor! Apparently it can cross the placenta and is a massive no no
I was told to put 4-5 drops of olbas oil in over 1 liter of hot water. Massively diluted! But as its only eucalyptus oil....

congrats perpetual on team pink!!! its exciting!!!!
I was asked my my old boss if I could help out in the pub last night as they expected it to be super busy!! I told him im about 6 months pregnant and was he ok with that, he was and I did. I wish I hadnt!!! The music was loud and my por bubsy kicked me all night as if to complain, unless she was having a boogie!!!! They let me go at midnight cos i was flagging. I dont think i'll do that again!!! Im so out of practise with barwork, and i big belly didnt make it any easier!!!!

Happy Sunday!

I'm obsessed with peanut butter! I cannot make sensible food choices when it is in the house (which it is at the mo).

Congrats Perpetual! Do you have all boys already?

We've got our anomoly scan tomorrow! So excited. Can't wait to find out what we're having, and hope everything is ok with the little one. xx
