afternoon all xxx

I am so tired today, have tried everything from painting to making fairy cakes with the boys to keep them entertained in this horrible weather and they r still bored !!!!! running on false energy, so I have had to give in and let them play the xbox for 1/2 hr so that I can sit down for a while, cant wait for hubby to get home from work and take over

Blessed, couldn't agree more, you don't take them unless you need to but if you need them then take them - I landed in hospital too cause I wasn't keeping any drink down either so became very dehydrated.

I agree, I prefer to hold off taking anything unless it becomes absolutely necessary, but I am glad to know the meds are there and my dr. said they are "completely safe."

Blessed, did they give you Zofran? Do you feel it's safe?

Welcome and congrats new Mummies!!

I think I can feel my cyst on my left side too! When I move a certain way its like a stitch feeling hope thats normal!

 

[Danuta]

Haha, thanks blessed! Nice to know it can be done!

I'm back at work now too, but I'm definitely not telling my manager just yet!

I swear that all the symtoms are coming on faster and more this time... I'm getting horrible morning sickness, bloated, running to the toilet 24/7 and all the rest!

 

[Zoesmommy]

Danuta, I have a nine month old as well!! She was born September 24th. As far as how to manage them both, lots of help When was your daughter born?

 

[Danuta]

Wow, snap! My daughter was born on 2nd October, so pretty close! I'm agreeing with you about lots of help... I'm actually thinking about going back to Poland and begging my family to help me this time!

 

[Danuta]

When is your due date, btw?

 

[leesa73]

Hi to Pumpkim and Danuta!

 

[Lady-K]

Got my BFP 3 days ago. Overjoyed, but still in stunned disbelief! If it sticks my DD will be 17th March

 

[Shrimpy]

Zoesmommy - My eldest's birthday is 24th September too She'll be 4 this year.

I feel absolutely shite (scuse French)!! Felt fantabulous this morning so cracked on with the cleaning and made a start to the big room swap ...

(hubby and I have the biggest bedroom but are swapping with Amber so that Summer can move in with her and share the biggest room. We'll have the 2nd biggest room and hubbys son (who's 10) can have the teeny room to himself until little Fredlet comes along)

... stopped for a coffee break then had to go to bed because I was so shattered. Got maybe 10 mins sleep before Summer decided it was fun to poke me in the eye and tell me to wake up. Couldn't get back to sleep cause the little blighter kept tickling my feet and shoving her slobbery face in mine. Now I feel sick as a dog and don't want to do anything

Congrats to all the new march mummies to be

Hope everyone's feeling better than me!

 

[Zoesmommy]

Congrats, Shrimpy! How are you celebrating this year?

 

[Zoesmommy]

Danuta, I'm due March 5th. I had a c section with my first after 35 hours of labor, so I have to have a second section. They don't do VBAC's at my local hospitals I'm bummed, but at least we were both healthy When is yours?

Hi to all the new people - Danuta, Pumpkin, Lady-K and anyone else I've missed.

I got really grumpy this evening and I shouldn't have - I'm so tired, had a double work shift today and feeling as nauseous as can be without actually vomiting and on top of that I have been getting quite a bit of asthma recently, so when I had to chase the puppy round the car a few times to prevent it getting run over I just lost it - lucky I never caught the puppy, but I am feeling a bit guilty for getting so cross. My DD has also been very tired and defiant today and that has been irritating me. I think an early night is the only solution.

Shrimpy - yeah second pregnancies are another story aren't they - last time I could just collapse as soon as I was tired, this time DD will have none of it.

 

[Zoesmommy]

I've just been looking at some plus size bump pics and am starting to get excited!! Are there any other plus size ladies due in March?

with my oldest son i used reglan. it was truly heaven sent. he was the one i got dehydrated with. one morning i counted 11 times throwing up by afternoon! i quit counting after that so dont know how many more, was in hospital a few days after that.
with my last son i only threw up a couple of times, but was so sick to my stomach every day, all day. after a few months when it didnt clear up my ob gave me zofran. i took it out of shear exhaustion and not wanting to eat anything. it always amazes me at how much more drained i am just from being sick or feeling sick all day. i seriously lost weight cuz i could only stand to drink room temp water. i would say its safe, i took at least one a day from 4 months on with him. i had ms every day up to the day he was born.
from my understanding reglan is used for people with digestion problems and heartburn, it empties the stomach out really quick. my hubby used it when he would eat too much-lol. zofran tricks the receptors in your brain that sense nausea into not sensing it, it blocks those receptors.
my ob gave me a prescription for both just in case. since they do different things, if i need them, i will proly take reglan again if im throwing up a bunch and zofran if im just feeling sick. hopefully i wont need them though!

 

[blessedmomma]

[africaqueen]

Hi ladies.

Welcome to the newbies and beanies
Shrimpy- LMAO at your dd!! haha bless her.
Zoesmommy- I am plus size too. I am a size 18-20. Have recently lost 16lb

Well girls, what a day i have had!!!
Went to my parents for a vist and something to do, and my dad, who is terminally ill, started having convulsions really badly which he has never had before so we ended up having to call a ambulance and spending all afternoon in the hospital! Turns out he has a viral infection that sent his temps through the roof, hence the "fits" he has been given strong meds and discharged. I am so glad he is ok! Well while i was up there, i started having stronger than usual cramps and back pain so i went the clinic and the Dr did a urine test and found that i have a bacterial UTI which can be very dangerous in pregnancy, so he gave me some strong meds to take too! So relived that i went with my instinct and got the meds! He also said that he thinks the EPU were wrong to not test my beta following tuesday's empty scan, so he has ordered more bloods to be done on monday morning, Which is a relief!
Then just to make today worse, i just got a call from my DH (he works away 4 days a wk in security) and he has been laid off!!! He is getting finished on monday as the work has dried up!! so that makes 2 of us out of work at the time we need cash more than ever! It dont rain but it pours huh?
