May 2013 Anyone

[Paws]

Yep me too - whenever I've been awake in the past few days, I've been feeling sick so I've mostly just been lying on the sofa achieving absolutely zip!

 

[Paws]

In fact - the nausea is taking over my life at the moment. It is there from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, and I can't find anything that helps! Ginger, dry crackers, acupressure bands - tried them all and still feel at death's door. Anyone else getting this now we're past the 7 week stage? I'm just hoping that it doesn't last past week 12!

Your supposed to get a break during the 2nd tri. However my mother she suffered the entire time with me so it can be anyones guess. I only get it early morning during many runs to the bathroom and if I go to long without eating. You tried eating small meal through out the day

 

[Paws]

Yes, I try to force something down every 2-3 hours. I'm lucky in that I'm not actually being sick, but I'm starting to lose weight now as I just can't stomach any decent amounts of food. The thought of ANY kind of food makes my stomach turn over, it's really hard to force something down.

On the plus side, though, it's supposed to be a result of all that hcg, so I am definitely pregnant! Tiny alien friend is about the size of a baked bean now

Mid back pain, sore tight muscles and afternoon/evening nauseous.

Has anyone one had their prenatal visit yet?

 

[Paws]

Has anyone one had their prenatal visit yet?

No, not yet - been in touch with the midwife's office and she should be getting in touch with me at some point for my booking-in appointment. My doctor took my weight (EEEEEK!! That was more than I was expecting!) and blood pressure (nice and low) but she does all the...well....er....midwiffery things. She said. Knowledgebly.

Been prescribed some anti-nausea medication this afternoon via the out-of-hours service and am feeling almost human for the first time in about a week

 

[padbrat]

I have my first midwife's appt on the 19th Oct... so I will be over 12 wks by then... all being well..Hope hope hope!!

Next scan is Friday!

WOW congrads sal......I am happy to hear that everyone is having such a wonderful pregnancy thus far - except for Paws. Trust me I feel your pain. Waking up in the mornings is murder now cause I always want to pray to the procelin god in the mornings and I can imagine getting up at 7 in the morning after getting up every two hours to do to the bathroom through out the night.

Ok here is something creepy for you guys and hoping you can tell me I am just crazy. Lately I have been getting questioned about my pregnancy becuase my baby cousins have apparently been giving me up. Before i even knew that i was my little cousin kept climbing in my lap, was hanging off my neck and was my little stalker the entire time he visited. Apparently he NEVER EVER does this and this was my first time offically meeting him which is what puzzled my cousin. He is about 2 years old and his grandmother - my cousin, called my mother asking if I was pregnant. Now this cousin did this before I even know i was pregnant. Another baby cousin of mine did the same exact thing a few weeks ago, and the older cousin in that household started grilling me about being pregnant.

I am also a social worker so I am about kids all day and toddlers are hanging off of all the time, however kids i haven't even met before are hanging off of me and demanding hugs and kisses. Then the biggest creepy factor - one of my co workers who I gave a hug to asked me if i was pregnant - when i told her yea (i didnt want to be a liar) and asked her how did she know since i am not showing, she said she felt the baby's spirit and energy. Sort of like a peaceful type of feeling. Now no one at my job knows except my supervisior and my friend who is also a coworker. I know she would never say something but I am wondering if there is something to this?

 

[Paws]

That is strange - although maybe kids are better able to pick up on little signals that adults have learned to ignore through politeness etc.

Can't remember which comedian it was, but one of them said that, unless a person is actually emerging from a woman's vagina at that very moment it is NEVER safe to assume or ask if someone is pregnant. If we wanted to tell people, we'd tell them!

Ooh - eight weeks tomorrow. Tiny human kitten friend is the size of a butter bean.

Still suffering with sickness - and now constipation. What a glamorous business this being with child can be!

 

[Sal76]

Oh for the las few weeks I prayed for constipation or a cork lol!! I seem to have passed my poorly bit ( fx) now just peeing for England and wanting to sleep!!

Oh and my boobs are like missiles but apart from that ........

I love it!!!!

Sx

 

[BklynChick74]

I won't even get into my bathroom habits. Well aside from peeing every two hours which is a lot of bathroom time even for me, and the other end can't seem to make up it's mind - we will leave it at that. My boobs keep growing - I want them to stop, i have gained weight because i want to eat everything in sight which will be coming to an end really soon, and all i want to do is sleep.

Not that I'm complaining because i love my little bean but wholy moly when does the beauty of pregnancy begin cause i am to tired to enjoy it

 

[Paws]

Actually lost about 3 pounds in the last 10 days or so because I've been feeling so sick. Not feeling too bad today for some reason - still feel nauseated but not thrashing about and groaning on the sofa like usual. Don't know why but it's nice to feel like I can almost function for a change.

 

[BklynChick74]

Paws your lucky....I have been gaining weight and decided to put a stop to it and am doing a lot more walking and weight training since regular boot camp doesn't agree with me stomach. How is everyone doing this week. We will all be in the second trimester in a month's time. We haven't seen post from some of the other ladies in a while and just curious to know how we are all feeling.

 

[padbrat]

I am all good Blk... I think.. well last scan was amazing, so long may it continue I say. How are you?

 

[binksmommy]

Hi ladies..came by to see how you all are coping I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and still not feeling great ..have headaches, hungry all the time and dry heaves But I have an 8 yr old to keep up with..so no time for sickness..just keep pushing until bedtime then I cry and fall asleep... I weighed today and I'm still down another 2 lbs.. will see my Dr on Thursday morning. I guess I'm ready to do the blood work to test for downs.. I'm scared to death! I pray everything is okay..

 

[Fobray]

I'm due 22nd May and have my first scan on Thursday..... Bets are on as to how many are in there.. I'm hoping on one this time.

 

[BklynChick74]

Hey Bink - congrads on you making it to the second trimester. I think how it goes is when you make it past 12 weeks your in pretty good shape and although your never 100 percent out of the park your changes dramatically reduce. Yea you!!!

Fobay - Good luck on everything.

How's everyone else doing. I am tired as hell
