Hi Claire are you still feeling good? Hope so.
I'd an awful night was in agony took these horrendous pains in tummy around 3am but quite high up near ribs and everytime I tried to turn over or breathe in I felt like someone was twisting a knife in me. I got up in tears at 6am and took some pain killers, snapped the face of Stephen (though quickly apologised) got a hot water bottle and sat on my gym ball, the pains didn't go away til around 8am Stephen wanted to call the hospital but I wouldn't let him as I didn't think it was contractions because they were constant and I'd no back ache with them. Luckily I haven't had anymore since but if they do come back I think I will get checked out this time. Was really sick this afternoon again and now just feel so tired and fed up my tummy cannot take anymore as every muscle really kills from so much vomiting and I just wish it would hurry up and be over - if only we could go to sleep and wake up when it's all over things would be so much easier wouldn't they!

Feel a bit silly posting here now as think I'm last one left but anyways. I'm having such a crap day today was so violently sick today - down the nose the lot - went through half a box of tissues etc and just feel like crap now haven't ate anything since as just don't feel good at all and on top of all that I'm having horrible pains in my pelvic area too and even putting my knickers on today was sore!

 

[claire99991]

hiya hun sorry not posted for a few days had a nightmare my daughter started nursery and she is not liking it she wont let me leave her its really upsetting for her and me she only managed 40 min today and thats me with her! hope she settles in soon

i havent been sick anymore get the odd night where i do feel sick but its nothing like what it was and its not every day and the actual vomiting has passed for now i do sumtimes have to stop and take sum deep breaths as i can feel im going to be sick but i manage to get it under control within a couple of minutes

your so very nearly at the end now the pain in your pelvis could be baby moving down getting ready just remember as well u could be further on so it could be anytime now hang in there your so brave to have done this every day so bad for all these months and you dont ever have to do this again just remember that. I hope this is over for you really soon and you can tell us you have eaten a lovely meal and really enjoyed it. XXXXX

hey claire, that's great news that HG seems to have left you now, I really hope it stays like that for you, not so good about your wee girl but I'm sure she will settle in eventually she prob senses that you are tense and that can upset her too hope she doesn't take too long to settle.

I've had another crap day my Mum and sis in law took me out for lunch just had a wee baguette but felt awful in car and back was killing me too, came home and started throwing up again it's so horrible.

The pains I'm having I've been asking my Gp about since I was about 16 weeks and she has just fobbed me off as my pelvis actually crunches and grinds very noisily when I walk and I find it really painful getting out of bed or in and out of the car too I can't sit with my legs apart at all or I end up so so sore and at night if I'm lay out on sofa with feet up Stephen has to help me put them up and down there. Last time I was with my Doc she even had to help me on and off the bed but she still just can't get me out quick enough, a friend of mine got a pelvic support from her Doc and she said it's made all the difference but I can hardly get a hello out of my bloody Doc. I def wont be seeing her after baby is here that's for sure! I've also been so so itchy last couple nights no rash or anything but a really really sore itch all over my back belly neck and feet it makes me want to jump in an icy bath or rip my skin right off, I've been very stressed out last few days - just bad family stuff going on at min and I don't know if that's making it all worse but I can't get any sleep at all and I just seem to be lying crying all night, it just seems to be one thing after another there doesn't seem to be anything good going on right now and it's all really getting me down. HG is as bad as ever but there are so many other things happening now on top of it all and I just cannot deal with it all. Stephen has been great but even he is getting stressed by stuff that's going on and he never ever gets stressed about anything, I just feel really crap and useless right now.

Oh Louise, I'm so sorry for you that things are so rough. I could shake that doctor of yours, I really could!

Don't feel silly about posting here, if you need to vent, Honey, it's the best place and I know that I drop by regularly, as does Claire, so you'll always have symapthetic readers!

Hang on in there. The end is in sight. Perhaps these pelvic pains are your body softenng up and gearing up for labour. It's all going to be so worth it really soon when you hold your newborn son or daughter in your arms for the first time.

Thinking of you.

do you think it could be SPD? thats so painful i had that with hollie as well (seriosuly why did i get preg again) anyway they sent me to a physio and they got me a big tight belly band and it pulled the bump of my pelvis it didnt take the pain away but it helped a lot as did my birthing ball just bouncing on that, do you have one? i highly recommend one xx

 

[craftymum]

I certainly hope it's my body getting ready Sam, so ready for this to be over now. I can't sleep at night at all as I can't get comfy and it really hurts to turn over then if I part my legs the pain is so bad down there I just don't know how I'm going to be able to cope in labour - I'm thinking now of just taking every drug they can give me when the time comes! I'm so so tired but I end up sitting up half the night. My Mum and my sil called up today at half 12 and decided to go out for lunch even though I told them to go on they insisted I came too I was back home before 2 and was in agony and felt so sick and then by 3 was throwing up again which is even getting harder as my back is so sore it hurts even more to bend forward. Lets hope the end is in sight sooner rather than later cos I really don't think my body can take much more of this. Def going to think about permanent measures to prevent a repeat performance once this is all over, can't wait to get my body and my health back again and be able to eat and sleep again.

 

[claire99991]

get bouncing on a birthing ball hun it might help your body go into labour, and take every drug going you deserve a easy birth! xx

 

[craftymum]

thanks Claire, I've got my ball in my living room and I use it every night - helps a bit with backache I just have to make sure I sit on it with my legs together or I can hardly walk after. I didn't sleep much last night again, I so cannot wait until I get my body back and all this sickness and pains are away and I can sleep again even if it is only a few hours between feeds etc, it'll be heaven compared to this! Lets hope I get a good wee sleeper though! I feel sorry for my Mum and my Hubby throughout all this too as they feel so useless as there's nothing they can really do to help me. Hope you're ok today and the sickness is still staying away for you x

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((big hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

im still here too xxx

 

[claire99991]

ohhhhhhh im back been sick tonight and feel sick again felt sick all day anyway 2 days running with very little food i thought yesterday was a blip but its hanging around today

 

[craftymum]

oh Claire I hope it doesn't last too long for you - do you think with feeling a bit better again you've maybe overdone things a bit? Try to rest for a couple of days and hopefully it will pass for you.
I've felt awful today and I'm so uncomfy too no matter how I sit, stand or lie something hurts or just feels generally crap.

 

[Rebaby]

I'm still here, lurking and sending much love and hugs your way

I am plodding along, and everything is going well with baby I am totally knackered but i finish work tomorrow (at last!!) so from 9.30pm tomorrow night i will probably not be in work again for perhaps 10 months!!!!!

 

[claire99991]

i dont know if i have overdone things possibly to be honest the 1st few days i was eating it was great then i lost my appetite and was leaving a lot of my meals and now its just gone bk to not even bothering making myself anything as the sicky feeling is in my throat all the time like lumps stuck in my throate, and then just being sick, im doing a lot still working and walking a hour a day to and forth nursery for my daughter im getting pains in my pelvis when i stand and walk for to long but i have no other way of getting her there, and im also trying to stay on top of my housework its all just becoming to much again

 

[craftymum]

aw Claire I'm so sorry it's returned for you so bad again I really hope it doesn't stick around too long for you it really is crap, I hope you don't end up like me suffering til the bitter end, my only consolation now is that it could all be over any day and that's the only thing keeping me going.
Mention to your Doctor or MW about the pains as they may be able to give you a support belt and some physio, my friend got one and she can walk far better than I can I guess it just depends on your Doctor - if they're anything like mine they wont want to know. I'm finding it really sore in my hips and pelvis now more so now that my baby has engaged, it's so hard to turn over in bed as well I don't know how I'm gonna be able to open my legs wide enough to give birth cos it's really really sore when I open them just enough to step in and out of a car. I've just had breakfast and feeling crap already and I feel like I'm on such a short fuse these days, Stephen was saying how tired he was this morning and it just annoys me as I can't sleep due to feeling sick, being in pain and peeing every hour through the night, I find I'm even being a bit snappy with my Mum too I don't know why maybe it's normal to get like this at this stage. there's no room in my belly anymore and everytime baby moves I get such a sharp pain it takes the breath from me it's not fun anymore like the movements used to be, I don't know if that's normal or if it's cos my bump is so small as MW at hosp told me I hadn't stretched enough and that I hadn't put down the layer of fat that pregnant women do either, my belly just feels rock solid all the time, it's so uncomfy and even though it's ow engaged I still can hardly breathe think I must have a long skinny baby in there!
Anyway that's enough of my moans - my list of complaints seems to get bigger by the day!! I really hope you have a better day today Claire, it really is crap that we have to put up with this on top of all the normal pregnancy stuff too. Did your daughter settle at nursery yet? I'm just going to put my feet up for a while and try to get comfy for now and hope I manage a day without throwing up too - from 1pm is my bad time these days, everything just goes downhill for me from then. Big big for you xx

 

[claire99991]

aw im sorry you had another bad day surely this has got to end for you soon!! you will have to update as soon as you can when you have your baby. It deffo sounds like you have SPD especially with the getting out of the car and not being able to open your legs there classic signs, your doctor sounds crap even worse than mine and that is saying sumthing! i hope u have as good of a day as possibly can xxx

no she hasnt settled in nursery and i find it really upsetting that she wont let me leave for even 5 min i feel so stupid being sat there with her the whole time the other kids actually think im a teacher now!!!! i just want them to take her even if she cries just take her of me and see if she settles but its not the way they do it

 

[claire99991]

oh and the sickness is back again today been sick this morning and got the lump in my throat feeling as per usual

 

[craftymum]

aw that's crap Claire, as for the Nursery they used to be able to just take the child but there are so many rules now they have to follow, my Mum and Sis in law run the local mums and tots and they can't even take a child to the toilet unless there are 2 of them present and if a child falls they are not allowed to lift or cuddle the child they can only comfort them verbally, it's all gone a bit mad.
I'm totally knackered today, been lying dozing on sofa all morning and just feel crap, just had some toast and waiting on water heating up for long hot soak in bath as my back is killing me and baby is very very active today too so I'm getting battered inside.
Hope you feel a bit better as the day goes on

 

[claire99991]

im feeling really sorry for myself today just want to go to bed and cry and stay there till tomorow, i havent got the energy to deal with a toddler today she is pushing my buttons to the limit im exhausted, my OH is going out on the drink tonight with his mates alright for sum and he just txt saying he will needs sum clothes washing so i have her to deal with all night!!! just feel like walking out of the front door to be honest. Ive been sick another 3 times and just cnt take any more of any of this the nursery thing is really getting to me i carnt see the point in them saying stay as long as you need to, she has heard this and so obviously she is gonna kick up a fuss when i go to leave why be on your owne if your teacher has said mum can stay! i honestly feel like such a plonker just sat there the whole session begging her to let me go. I even have to take her to the staff bathroom while i throw my guts up. ARGHH i think im gonna put a dvd on for hollie and go to bed for a bit.
