March 2010 Mummies!!

[Erised]

I'm sleeping ok, it just doesn't seem to make me any less tired.
I'm having real problems eating though, I'm just not hungry at all and when I force myself to eat I feel sick. Plus constipation is getting really bad.

All in all, I'm getting pretty uncomfortable.

Katrinka- I can't sleep at all. I have always had trouble sleeping and have been on Ambien since I was 16 (I am 28 now). Since I can't take anything now, I am finding it very difficult. I go most nights falling asleep after 4-5 hours and waking up about every 45 min-hour. But some nights I do not sleep at all (like last night). No matter how tired I feel during the day, I can not fall asleep!

I have tried EVERYTHING you can possibly imagine (bath b/f bed, herbal tea, reading, watching tv, white noise), but nothing has helped.

If you find anything to be successful, I would love to hear it!

I wake up 5 times a night to go to the bathroom, so I haven't been sleeping too too well.

I know exactly how you feel but I havn't been on Ambien. I was taking Melatonin, a natural majiger. I havn't been taking it for about three months now, but it never did help me much. (Says to take 2.... I could take 6 and still lay awake all night.)

So my newest addition to my laundry list of pregnancy complaints (don't get me wrong, I couldn't be more thankful to be pregnant!). I'm getting oily. Ppl keep telling me my skin is "glowing". Well duh, thats cuz its oily! And my hair is ridiculous. I usually wash it every other day but lately have been needing to do it every day!

Sorry to hear a lot of you are getting some nasty symptoms, ive been lucky so far and have got hardly any!

Hi all!

Due March 2nd here by my LMP but an early scan at 6 weeks & 3 days dated me at 6+5, so we'll see once I'm a little further along.

I feel soooo bloated right now and I'm positive friends are starting to notice/think I'm stacking on weight already!

 

[bigbloomerz]

Howdy everyone! That is terriable you had a terriable weekend, bigbloomerz. I got so sick last night, I thought I had the flu or something, but it was very short lived (maybe an hour). I know it wasn't just morning sickness either. Probably my preggo tummy disliking the tacos I had for supper or something

I have my scan today

 

[bigbloomerz]

Ooo bean how did the scan go?? xx

 

[Erised]

While physically I'm still not feeling too bad, mentally I can feel the mood swings.
I'm already getting really fed up of being back at MIL's (only been back here 2 weeks or so!) ... I want our own place back, our own space, not have boxes and bags stacked around me etc. But at the same time I know it would be a waste of money to find our own place to rent right now, as we'll be out of the country a lot in the time coming. It's bloody frustrating, and with my hormones being all over the place already it's starting to really get to me today.

In better news though, I've managed to eat some fruit for lunch today. Lunch has pretty much been out of the question for the last 2 weeks, so that's good news! =D
And, like BigBloomerz, only a week left until my first scan ... yay!

Welcome Erinnae! Looks like you are actually the closest one geographically to me and only a couple days from my due date. Wichita is still a long way from Norman, but closer than the UK!

So to join in the countdown, I have 17 days till my dr. appt. Hopefully they will give me an early u/s to date me better. FXD

Welcome hivechild xx

Thanks!

I actually had a pretty decent weekend, but this morning I woke up with grand plans to get a bunch of housework done...and you guessed it, tired and ick feeling again! I've managed to vacuum the floor, and I'll empty the dishwasher before DH gets home from work, so I'm calling that a success.

Luckily, I don't THINK that I've been having any major mood swings, or at least nothing on par with PMS! I will say that my bullshit tolerance is >< this small lately though! Is that being moody?

 

[HS Bean]

Ooo bean how did the scan go?? xx

We saw one tiny beating heart

 

[Erinnae]

I'm so proud that I actually managed to cook dinner and do the dishes, too! Now I'm officially in 'sit on my ass for the rest of the night' mode.

 

[katrinka]

I napped today, whoo hoo! Hopefully this means that my insomnia is going away for a bit. Now, I just need to sleep longer than 1-2 hours at a time
