We're from Dumfries and Galloway , been in Northern Ireland since March , but moving back as it just isn't working out for us here . Hubby's family and most of mine are in Scotland , between the borders and Renfrewshire (where I'm from originally). So we're not leaving much in NI if we leave.

I've got a flipping UTI and a horrible case of thrush . Talk about everything at once ! So I'm drinking my body weight in cranberry juice and water . Still on the couch and already bored to tears but hoping by having a quiet few days I'll be good as new in no time !!!

nordic - I am so pleased to see that your scan is showing a healthy babe, rest rest rest!

Akins - Ive been battling constipation the whole time, Ive used metamucil in the past and it work great, I used it yesterday and TMI.... I went about 12 times in 5 hours and I could barely make it to the toilet. It worked as more of a laxative than a light stool softener, not pretty.

Thanks, i asked the receptionist at my drs app and she said idk this early maybe apple sauce because i forgot to ask when dr was in the room. So i go back in two weeks so i will ask him then .

I'm smack dab in the southern middle of the states lol.

Akins mom - I'm a dietitian. Applesauce is mildly binding.

Foods that help would be pruned, prune juice, dried fruit in general, pears, pear juice, bran cereals, nuts - especially peanuts, and high fiber foods (fruit and veg) and drink plenty of water,

Most pregos need extra help. Daily Colace can help. Start with once a day and if it's not helping you can bump up to two or three times a day. I find supplementing magnesium citrate also helps a lot. If magnesium supplements and colace isn't helping, you can use milk of magnesia if you get really backed up.

 

[DaisyQ]

Oh and also plenty of fat in the diet also helps keep things moving. Avodavos, peanut butter etc.

And dried coconut and coconut water.

I'm still sick, instead of MS, I throw up every night from 7-midnight. It's miserable. I haven't been able to cook or eat dinner with my husband in about a month. I really hope it ends soon😔

Oh you poor soul. I'm on basics , mostly tiger bread toasted with butter , crisps (chips) on occasion , strawberries , fruit & Veg smoothies , some chocolate but only through the day, small portions or it doesn't stay down. Today I've been heaving and retching constantly . I've discovered Pepsi max with ginger . I sip a can over the course of a day it seems to help.

 

[nordicpixie83]

Had some pain and a small bleed earlier . It went off as quick as it came on. So i just went straight to bed. Hoping all Will be settled in the morning .

 

[swampmaiden]

DaisyQ, thanks for information! Ive been learning a lot about gut health recently, and luckily haven't personally suffered any constipation nor diarrhea but its just a matter of time before baby starts squishing things around in there.

Eatinglots of fresh fruit & veggies help if the MS isnt too bad. Thank gawd I'm almost in second tri because first trimester totally kicked my butt!

 

[Zephram]

My symptoms have really tailed off this week, I haven't been feeling that nauseous the last few days which is creeping me out. I'm extra anxious this time as two of my SILs have had a loss in the last year and I keep thinking it's my turn. One SIL said her symptoms disappeared before she had her mc.

I haven't had sore boobs this entire pregnancy either. Argh!

 

[krissie328]

My symptoms are all pretty well gone. My bbs are sore and that's it. I've even noticed I'm less fatigued than normal.

 

[xkirstyx]

My symptoms come and do now. One day I will have no nausea and feel great then next day I will be so so ill. Really freaks me out the days I feel good though lol

 

[BabyBrain80]

Morning ladies, I have my scan this morning - in 3.5hours and its really not looking good. The brown turned to red and there is a lot of it, still mostly on wiping but I could stand there for 5 mins wiping it all away. I had terrible pains yesterday, could hardly move at times. OH keeps telling me to be positive, you read all these stories about big bleeds and baby is fine. But I know this cant be ok. I nearly cried all day yesterday. Thankfully I dont work during school holidays so thats not been a worry but trying to hide it from the boys has been hard. I still have symptoms but thats not making me hopeful.....my heart is breaking...

 

[xkirstyx]

Aw hunny I have everything crossed for you! Hopefully you go in and baby is moving round and you maybe have a sch. I had soooo much bleeding when I had it with two of my pregnancies xxxx
