Thought Id share an amusement that happened this lunchtime...
Sat down to eat some toast, now Ive figured out if I sit down for ten minutes beforehand and stay sat quietly for half an hour afterwards I can normally manage to keep some foods down. SO I sit, eat my toast and get a phone call....was sons school asking me to go in because my son had fallen in the playground, turned out he was actually fine just a bit shaken so I explained that his father would be home in five minutes and I would send him...so basically asking them to comfort my son for ten minutes and no more (would take me that long to walk the 200 yards to the school because of spd!) but oh no...they needed me to go NOW. So I went wondering what they werent telling me that was so urgent they needed me to be there immediately.
Get to the school office, start to speak to the receptionist and get that "I need to be sick NOW" feeling.....and threw up all over the headteachers desk and computer....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its actually broken!
Dont think Im ever going to be able to look the headmaster or the receptionist in the eye again!!!!!

Oh and my son was completely fine....hed just wanted a hug and was upset because he put a hole in his trousers...he wasnt even hurt!

Eeep! Stupid school for not letting you wait those extra 10 mins!

How you doing today teal? Did your toast stay down? I am also having a not so good day, the bile I puked before was so concentrated it was orange xx

 

[teal]

anothersquish - can't believe they wouldn't wait the extra 5 minutes!

katy - I'm still doing ok today. I've only been sick once but I've been feeling really nauseas all day and keep getting an acidy reflux.

xx

 

[Kitty23]

Eugh I hate it when the bile is orange lol, it tastes like pure evil!


Teal- have you tried anything for the acid reflux? I used to get some white stuff from the doctor that really helped

Went to the doc again today, she's signed me off for two weeks though my last note ended on this tuesday and this one starts from today, is that ok? I don't work wednesdays does that make a difference? I don't want to be bollocked over it!

[teal]

I hadn't tried anything for it because it only started over the last few days. Not had any of it today! If it comes back I'll speak to doctor to see what I Can take for it though

I don't think the day gap in your sickline should matter - sometimes it's just your luck if you can get to see a doctor on time.

I had to go into work this morning for a meeting with my manager. I was sick a few times this morning but thankfully wasn't sick while I was there. He was ok with me and wants me to call him the end of next week for an update.

How is everyone feeling today? xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I am feeling rather yuck to be honest. I'm getting a bit scared of eating, so I haven't tried to today. But I feel all light headed and spaced out so I'm going to have to try and eat I think. I wasn't that sick this morning, think it was only 2 or 3 times.

But everytime I start feeling awful I just look at my pics from yesterday and I feel a wee bit better instantly

Here is my little man for anyone who hasn't seen (sorry teal, you've prob seen these pics about 4 times now! )

He's beautiful!!! Have you got a name yet?

Thanks teal, I was a bit worried that being one day out would be cause enough for them to sack me, crazy I know lol.

Katy- Hope you can keep something down today xxx

If they complain just go back to the doctors and get them to do you a backdated one for one day. But hopefully your work won't be that petty.

Nopes he's still nameless. We have a shortlist, but want to see which one he suits.

[teal]

Love the pictures Katy!

I was scared to eat today too and started feeling really light headed. Managed some toast after that and still ok with the water. I don't feel so bad now - just really drained so will probably be an early night for me!

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I just had a bit of bread so fingers crossed I'm not sick.

Glad you're having an okay-ish day teal xx

 

[teal]

Thanks - hope you manage to keep the bread down

I always feel a relief when I manage to keep something down. Even if it's just some dry toast xx

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Indeed, it's like a major accomplishment just managing to eat.

I feel awful tonight, feel really sick, as usual, and think I'm getting a cold. Really bad headache, sore throat, runny nose and feel absolutely exhausted xx

 

[Henrica80]

Teal, Kitty, katy and the rest of the ladies i just want to wish you all a better day today, hope you will manage to keep something down.... lots of the end seems so far but it aint...... lots of love

 

[Henrica80]

@ Teal, for acidy reflux, have you tried LOSEC, been using it since week 7 till now, its works well for me, i dont feel it at all.... you have to get a prescription from the doctor, my doctor said its safe during pregnancy but just find out from your doctor....

 

[teal]

Thanks for that. It wasn't so bad yesterday but if it comes back I'll mention it to my doctor

Katy I hope you have a better day today

 

[Kitty23]

Katy- You don't think your getting the beginnings on swine flu or normal flu? Not to scare you lol, but with your immune system being so low with not eating you need to be careful. Have you got a temp or anything? xxx

 

[anothersquish]

Not sure what to do about this one....Ive started getting VERY hungry, up to now this hasnt been an issue at all but the last two days Ive felt starving all the time...of course Ive tried to eat and suprise suprise been sick, concluding with yet more acid/bile wretching at 4am which has, yet again, ended with me looking like a druggie or similar as all the capillaries under my eyes have burst and I have another spot in my eye (sexy).

Im going Drs again Monday, havent had anti sickness tablets for a little while as hospital consultant wasnt convinced what I was taking wasnt causing the BH to be worse (ie bad enough to start trying to dilate my cervix) but its not getting to a ridiculous point again where Im starving but cant eat or throwing up so my BP is dropping, my vision is going black and Im dizzy etc.

Has anyone else noted an improvement from about week 24 through 30 and then a deterioration again? Im wondering if I need to prepare myself for going back to how I was earlier on which is not something I would like to repeat. Going through the worst of it again scares me more than anything else and makes me want to take the induction in just over 5 weeks, can put up with pain from the SPD but the sickness is too much....apologies to those early on still, dont mean to scare the crap out of you, bad day I think!

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

Teal- I haven't been too bad today. Just the usual hour or so this morning, and then twice more. I haven't tried eating yet though. How are you doing today?

Kitty- I was a bit worried about what might happen if it was flu, I don't think I have a temp though, just a really bad headache and sore throat and earache. And just generally achy. Hopefully it's just a cold.

Anothersquish- Can't help with question about 20 weeks onwards, I can sympathise with the burst blood vessels and generally looking awful though. Hopefully someone will be able to answer for you soon. Although, if it's getting to the stage where you're really hungry but can't keep anything down I'd say get the anti sickness tablets and just see how you go, if it starts off the BH again then stop taking them but hopefully you will manage to eat something xxx

 

[teal]

Sending you hugs anothersquish I've not noticed an improvement from 24 weeks but I'm only just past that point. I have the burst blood vessels aswell so you're not alone there.

Katy - I was really sick this morning again but been a bit better this afternoon. That could be because I've not really eaten much. Thinking about trying to have some dinner soon. At least if I leave it a bit later I can just try and sleep if I feel awful. xx

That's similar to what I've been doing. Not attempting to eat all day, then just eat just before bed and then try and sleep. xx
