June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[MiraclesHappn]

I have had a horribly stuffy nose at night for almost two weeks now. Makes me unable to breathe out of my nose which means I wake with a super dry mouth and sore throat. Then I have sinus drainage so bad I dry heave almost every morning when I try to clear it. Dd is getting a cold now too so I don't think it is just a pregnancy symptom for me but I think this pregnancy is making it stick around way longer than it should and is making it way worse than it should be.

Sounds exactly like my last week! The post nasal drip makes me gag and dry heave so much in the morning it is truly awful. Plus I'm awake for an hour in the middle of the night trying to clear my head and get rid of my sore throat.

My husband just came into the den after using a handsoap that I CANNOT STAND since getting pregnant and I had to make him leave and go upstairs lol. Ugh even his lingering scent is making me queasy.

I've been absolutely loaded with cold and conjunctivitis for the past week. One thing I noticed this time and last time though I'd that it really hits my sinuses (I'd never had problems before). They get so bad all my teeth ache on one side.

I'm on annual leave for a week now which should give me some time to recover and see my nephews after we found out the youngest will not be going back to the care system!

Scan on Friday and looks like I'm going alone because hubby double booked himself :-/

Ugh you have my sympathies! I've had to hide the hand wash from the downstairs loo as it was setting me off!

 

[AngelofTroy]

I have the stuffy head and headaches too, I don't have a cold so I guess it's another lovely pregnancy symptom! I wake up with such a headache and blocked nose every day, then the yuck makes me sick every morning. I've so had enough now. I'm 12 weeks! This is what I've been counting down to! Symptoms GO ALREADY!!

 

[Boo44]

I'm with you too - I can't stand my hubby's aftershave any more and I can't gel my son's hair on a morning any more as it knocks me sick x

Happy 12 weeks! Still seems so far away for me...!

Totally OT but just wondering what gel you use on your son's hair. My son has crazy hair and I always dampen it in the morning and comb it, but he comes home from nursery like a scarecrow.

I'd like to use a little gel on it but wouldnt like to use anything too harsh or anything that would make it crispy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Headaches were one of my first symptoms.

Is it 12 weeks symptoms are supposed to subside or 14 weeks? When does 2nd tri officially start, I think there's a week difference between UK 2nd tri and American 2nd tri isn't there?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I think second tri is 13 weeks ?

 

[Starlight32]

I think second trimester starts at 14 weeks? Or technically like 13.3 weeks?

My nose seems to get worse as the day goes on; it's been more stuffy at night recently.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I'm moving over at 13 weeks. As soon as I can!!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Don't blame ya! 1st tri is ZZzzz and stressful and ughhh. haha.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I'll class myself as 2nd tri after my NT scan at 13+5.
Time seems to be going sooooooo slowly! Xx

We just use a really cheap superdrugs own brand! It's quite good because it doesn't leave the wet look. But my boy has such fine floppy hair that by the end of nursery school it's usually gone back to normal!

This is me! But unfortunately with my OWN deodorant! I special order it too as it's organic and so I really just want to use up what I have before I order a new scent but ugh every time I use it I have to put on a sweatshirt that will mask some of the smell

The only upside to the sinus drainage problem for me is that so far it only makes me gag upon waking and my stomach is completely empty so at least I'm not actually throwing anything up! it could seriously go anytime now though.

 

[karlilay]

Feel sick with nerves for scan tomorrow. Can't eat anything

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Karli. Waiting for a scan is torture. What time is your scan?

I'm not sure when 2nd tri starts, last time I just counted it as after my fist scan but that was 14+5

Is it 14 weeks ish?

 

[karlilay]

It's 11.50. I'm so worried and I don't know why. I wasn't with either of the other two
