Hello ladies. Please beware if you don't like stories about sick look away now!

Well I took a turn for the worst after my post last night. About half 8 I started to feel really sick and I thought it was because I had a bit of heartburn but it just seemed to get worse and worse. So i went to bed feeling really crap but luckily wasn't worried about the baby cos he was moving around still. Woke up again at 1am and that was when the fun started. I went to the loo cos I still felt really sick. At first I just sat on the bathroom floor and nothing happened so I went back to our bedroom and got my glass of water, had a sip and that was me done. I had to hotfoot it back to the bathroom and just made it before I lost my tea. It was awful but I instantly felt better. OH got woken up - I am so not a quiet puker - and he brought me some fresh water. I got back into bed only to start feeling sick again 10 mins or so later. Bean was still kicking me so wasn't worried about him being affected. Managed to drop back off before I had to run to the bathroom for another episode at half 3. Decided to go downstairs and lay on the sofa so OH didn't get too disturbed and I made myself a glass of very weak orange squash and tried to eat a dry biscuit whilst I watched tv. Bad idea as that all came back again about half hour later. So remembering that whenever your sick you should replace fluids, I tried some more water and again that came back. This was about 5am so had been ill 4 times in 4 hours!! I managed to fall asleep watching tv for a couple of hours and woke up at quart to 7 when OH got up. Since then I haven't been ill again although I feel really crap and still very nauseous. I went to sleep when OH left for work at half 7 and woke up at 11 and have just tried another dry biscuit and some weak squash in the hope it stays in.

Needless to say I'm not at work lol! Officially on a PJ day now, house is a tip but tryin not to worry about it. Bean is still moving lots and I managed to take a healthy start vitamin a while ago so all in all I'm not too worried about him. More about me lol cos I hate feeling and being sick!!!! Anyway I'm taking it easy but do you think I should give midwife a call just to check if there's anything I can do to make sure bean is getting what he needs or have I done what I can?!? I can't make my mind up!

Oh Smiffy thats awful. hun. PJ day sounds like a plan, take it easy, eat and drink little and often and see how you go. Jellybean sounds as if he is ok. If you want piece of mind give the midwife a call, at the end of the day that is what they are there for. If you cant keep anything down then definately call as you might get dehydrated and need extra fluids. Grab the duvet and curl up on the sofa with a DVD. Best cure if you ask me

Thinking of you hun

 

[smiffy85]

[smiffy85]

Thats good news abstermum! And thanks for your good wishes!

Managed to eat a piece of dry toast and keep some juice down now. But still feel so sick its starting to annoy me. I feel really happy that bean is ok and has been moving around loads today but I wish he would stay still for just a little while as he is making me feel more sick with all his twisting, turning and kicks lol! Little gymnast he is today!!!

Thanks to all the ladies for their nice thoughts xxx

 

[lovealittle1]

glad you are feeling better abstersmum

 

[millward329]

Sorry to hear you are sick Smiffy....make sure you don't hurry back to work, I know what us teachers are like!

I've had a really pants day at work and am now at home feeling very tired and tearful....maybe it's the hormones. I don't know what to do really ladies....I'm three days in to the half term and feel so slow and tired and emotional. Like I just can't cope with the demands of 28 four/five year olds. Today the whole unit (open plan for two reception classes) have just been wild or whingy. Very disruptive in terms of teaching and like I need to be in four places at once. I don't normally feel unable to do my job properly even with the demands of working in an area of high social deprivation. My maternity isn't due to start till the Xmas holidays but I can't see how I'm going to last. Should I just press on and cry at home time or think of something else (don't know what though) Hate to think of taking time off sick because I'm not actually sick, just pregnant!

 

[smiffy85]

I know how you feel susie! Obv being off actually ill today but had no idea how hard it would be to go back after half term. I was quite tearful on monday morning before I left the house too, thinking how hard I am finding daily tasks now and how I was gonna manage with the little ones in my class. I love my job and my class but I know what you mean about wild and whingeing kids lol. Feel more like im managing behavior than teaching to be honest. My OH sat me down and basically said stop beong silly and I shouldn't feel bad if I need to finish earlier than I said and get signed off sick. My midwife said the same. She said in our job its not uncommon to finish earlier than say an office based job - although im sure they have their stresses and strains too! I should think of the best for me and the LO and not worry about what anyone else would say or think if I had to finish earlier. Think we feel obligated in such a position of responsibility like ours to the kids and our colleagues not to leave them in lurch. But it is our main responsibility to look after OURSELVES and the BABY. Found it hard to accept this myself but am tryin to take it one day at a time and hopefully I will get to 3rd dec like iv told them.

Hope that makes sense hunny xxxx

Hi all, I haven't been on here for AGES! I was admitted to hospital a few weeks back and I have just managed to get the internet on a little laptop in my room! Here's an update...

I'm having MCDA twins (Identicals - share placenta, separate sacs) team pink. I got referred to a bigger more specialist hospital at 23 wks with suspected twin-to-twin-syndrome (TTTS) but they ruled this out and said it is IUGR (Growth Restriction) in the smaller twin, so I was being scanned 3 times a week, then had steroids at 26 weeks, and was admitted to hospital at 27 wks with CTG's 3 times a day and scans every other day, and we have just literally gone day by day as to when she becomes distressed and we need to deliver and we have plodded along like that up til now.

I'm now 31+4 weeks (still in hospital!) - I really can't believe I've made it this far and I don't think they can either, but they seem to be doing ok,the dopplers have been abnormal but the CTG's have been ok, so they have decided not to let me go any further than 32 weeks,so I am booked in for a C-Section on the 5th Nov, this coming Friday, although... all this week they have literally been checking if there are 2 incubators free in NICU everyday and when there are 2 they will deliver so it could be before fri (or next wk if they still dont have any fri)

I am a bit on edge all the time at the moment! Feeling scared and anxious about whether they will be ok,and how long they will be in NICU etc...

Hope everyone is doing ok, sorry I have not been around for a while!

Susie, Leanne, you are stars - little ones need a lot of running around after. To be honest, mine is mostly behaviour management but I can spend the majority of my time sat don because teenagers at least have some clue about pregnancy, whereas your little ones do not. If you need the extra time, take it if you possibly can. It's a good job I can sit down because we can't afford for me to be off early (we can barely afford the 12 wks mat I'm taking) but even I'm worried how I'm gonna cope in a few weeks. I felt tearful at work too today. Parent's evening tonight and (as I only teach a few of that yr group and their parents aren't known for attendance) I didn't have any appointments - until half an hr before the end of the day when three boys arrived at my door asking for appointments. The boss told me off and said I had to stay and then only 1 kid actually came! I stayed 2 hrs for 1 kid. You gotta laugh, right?

Smiffy/Leanne - hope you feel better soon, you're better off worrying about yourself - little one will take what it needs from your system regardless, just try to stay hydrated. x

 

[abstersmum]

Angel I hope all goes ok and your little ones are strong x

As for me I spoke too soon just had a call from the hospital and have to go in tomorrow to see a specialist so I hope they can tell me what will happen next

 

[sez]

Hi Angelblue,

Thanks for popping back and updating us... I bet you are looking forward to meeting your little ones after the stress you must have been experiencing. I hope all goes well and will be thinking of you on Friday. Take care all 3 of you

Sez x x x

 

[Angelblue]

Thanks Sez, I'll keep you all posted and let you know how it goes. Will my girls be the first Jellybeans?

Angel -you and your little gals will be in good hands. Will keep the 3 of you in my thoughts.

My SIL is having the same type of twins as you but is only 23 weeks at the moment.

 

[blessed]

Angel thanks for the update! Sounds like your princesses will be very well cared for! Thats a blessing! Praying all goes well

 

[naomicourt]

You poor thing Leanne, I hope you feel better soon. I hate being sick and it must be even worse when you are heavily pregnant. Big hugs to you.

So sorry to hear you are so emotional Susie. I wouldn't feel guilty if you have to finish early. I finished work earlier then what I said when I was pregnant with my Daughter as I just felt so drained and didn't feel as though I was doing my job properly. I saw on Facebook that you are going to have a nice soak in the tub, so I hope you are relaxing and pamper yourself, we all deserve it I think.

Wow Angelblue! I think you will be the first Jellybean to have their baby or should I say babies! I hope that everything goes ok for you hun.

I hope everything goes ok for you too abstersmum. xxx

 

[Faff&Fidget]

Angel.. we're all thinking of you! Fingers crossed for you and your beautiful twinnies!!

Sounds like everyone needs hugs!!!

I think apart from text buddies we should all have hug buddies too!! How good would that be.. having someone nearby that could come round and swap hugs!

Ooooh! Just realised!! Jolene and Jojo! Congrats on 30 weeks my due date buddies!!!
