Has everybody's MS gone now or is anyone still suffering??
x

Im still feeling a little sickness now & then ~ Are you still suffering then?

I had a terrible day... but it did end with good news... an ultrasound seeing a healthy baby BOY.

I was in a 5 car pileup this afternoon on the highway... Traffic stopped and I managed to stop my car without problem. But several cars behind me kept going and I was rear-ended. I got spun and hit by someone going very fast, then hit again on the drivers side. I was brought to the hospital in an ambulance and an though they thought everything seemed fine I pretty much insisted on an ultrasound. The ultrasound says baby was doing great, moving around, sucking his thumb. Silver lining of it all is that we got to see our baby boy on an ultrasound! I am so relieved my little guy was safe and sound in there. This was my first experience really not caring about my own safety, and just thinking about the safety and health of my baby.

I am starting to get pretty sore now and will probably take it very easy this weekend with lots of resting and relaxing. Thank goodness my baby "Kenny" is okay!

Oh my goodness ~ Thank the Lord that you & little Kenny are Ok

Defo get plenty of rest, rest, rest.... Take it very easy

Not as bad as I was, but still sick occasionally. Last night was terrible. I had sickness and diarrhoea at the same time. I was sat on the toilet unable to get up and had a bucket in front of me. Really not very nice.

I was the same with Liam with diarrhoea..once I got past the sickness I had diarrhoea right up to when he was born

TMI question...

Does anybody else have leaky nipples yet??

I do but only when I squeeze. My Hubby shouts at me saying that I'm not gonna leave any milk for the baby

Thanks ladies...Here's a link to an article my mom just found regarding my car accident https://www.lowellsun.com/local/ci_18866423

I have been having a tough weekend. Something changed for me. I used to be over-the-moon excited about this pregnancy and now I am suddenly overcome with fear and I am not enjoying it as much these past few days. I really hope this passes. I want to be excited about my baby boy. I didn't even enjoy the ultrasound and finding out that he was a boy as much as I would of had the circumstances been different.

I feel really guilty for losing that excitement and I want to get back to where I was before. I feel kind of depressed. I think the whole accident really shook my more emotionally than I realized

Sorry you're feeling that way Hun. It's probably just the shock fro m the accident. I hope you feel better soon and I'm really glad that you and your boy were not physically harmed. Be strong babe

I forgot to mention the other thing that is stressing me out is that the ER doctor said I had a complete placenta previa... meaning the placenta is completely covering the opening to the cervix. There is a chance it could migrate up during the time of the pregnancy, but if it doesn't then that means a mandatory C-section and possible bedrest later in pregnancy to avoid preterm labor or bleeding. Has anyone ever been diagnosed with a placenta previa before? What was your experience? I have not had any bleeding so at this point I was told I do not need to be on bed rest or anything, but I think im going to really try to take it easy.

hey hun, i have never had this myself, but i am a child birth educator so i know a little bit. Dont lose hope about having a vaginal birth! Many times the placenta does move up as your baby grows. So thats great news! It's actually a rare instance, that it doesn't move out of the cervical area. Its just a lot of times ppl dont request a scan late enough in their pregnancy to know if anything has changed and you never know about the bed rest. You may not need it at all. I say mentally prepare for the bed rest- csection scenario but hope and also prepare for the no bed rest (or maybe bed rest) but vaginal birth you just never know

i think i can finally say that i am over the MS! well every once in a while i get nauseous, but it was REALLY bad from 6+6 until the middle of 15 weeks! I threw up A LOT! i lost like 9lbs from it. But i think i can safely say that its gone (except for the nasea maybe once or twice a week..hey! i'll take it! lol). anyone else get the Big D a lot? In the first trimester i had it 2-3x per day (ESPECIALLY when i woke up in the morning). I am getting it about once per day now, but i figured this would leave me by now

TMI question...

Does anybody else have leaky nipples yet??

yep !!! ive had the heavy feeling for a few weeks but the last week or so its been acccompanied by that tingling feeling like when your milk comes in. then 2 nights ago when i was in the shower i looked down when i felt it and i squirted
i yelled for my DH to come look i was so excited lol.
my nipples didnt leak with jesse until i was 23weeks , so im so suprised at how early its happening as im only 17 weeks tomorrow . everything happens much faster 2nd time around !!

ok so quick update for me - i had a kind of crappy start to the weekend, my dads workmate and friend was killed early saturday morning it was made to look like he had had to much to drink and it was an accident, but its been ruled it wasnt
its hit my dad quite hard tbh, he was meant to be out with the man the night he died but the guy didnt show up so my dad is absolutely kicking himself, i think hes gone in to a bit of shock, so weve been trying to help him alot this weekend. horrible as its only 200m down the road from where i live we only live on a small island, so nothing like this has ever happened before

enough of the doom and gloom - i made a friend lol. ive been here 15 months but as im still young (not a teenager....just....) but young enough that i feel out of place, there arent many people i can talk to , but i found a girl who is 1yr older than me, has a daughter 1mth older than jesse and is due her 2nd baby 1mth before me !!!!
shes lovely, they were round on the weekend and jesse and her daughter(zariah) were body painting . ill attach some pics, it was nowhere near as messy as i thought it would be





also because i like putting faces to names, here is a photo of me
this was at our wedding last year, so jesse is much younger here lol
