Tour... am safely back in denial about birth hahaha

Denial is not a river in Egypt honey!

Giving birth will be fine! I've never done it myself, but seriously, how bad can it be?

I had 4 whole days of no puking, then it came back today and I feel like crap again! Boo to that.

Hope you're all ok xx

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Tourne - sorry about the puking.


I'm the same. Keep thinking after 2 days of no puking maybe I've turned a corner. And them bam - my face is back in the toilet.

Doesn't help when people tell me "it should be over by now" - I know that!!!!!

 

[Courtney917]

Lol this is my third and not looking forward to whole giving birth thing either! I had an epidural with my first and went natural with my second. So we will see what third will be....thinking of doing it naturally as my labor was much quicker that way but much more painful lol.

That's terrible about sickness tour. I hope you feel btr soon. I, too still have nausea. I have my 16 week appt tmrw and am nervous. I'm scared they won't find heartbeat....I totally need to stop stressing!!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Hey girls!!! I feel much better no bleeding cramping or anything and my head is finally feeling better (mentally and physically) I felt some flutters today too so I'm feeling more confident that she's tucked away in there all snug

Sorry for all the ladies still feeling green I hope you all feel better soon!!!

I can't believe my baby will be a year old in one week!!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Birth will be a hassle but alllll worth it once you see the little bundle of joy! I had two natural births.... I'm medically unable to get the epidural because of my low blood platelets disorder. Only happens while I'm pregnant so I guess that is someone's way of telling me to fight through the pain! Lol I am looking forward to another natural birth though getting better at it now lol

 

[Tournesol]

Cupcake, I know! People say: are you STILL feeling sick? Normally it's stopped by 12w. Yes. I am clearly not normal. *sigh*

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Aww bless you Tourn I have already started with SPD again and I keep getting 'Already your only 14 weeks' every pregnancy is different I think 5% of pregnant women get MS all the way through pregnancy.

Birth is a breeze no matter how much pain you have you will forget it all once babies in your arms

I had SPD last time and it's starting again already I'm in agony with my pelvis at the end of the day. Got our 16 week MW appointment next Thursday and our private gender scan the following Sunday x

 

[MizzPodd]

Tour I feel your pain sweetie! I thought mine was disappearing, but it is back on like I am at the beginning of my first trimester again... I ignore the people who say that because for every pregnancy, that has never happened with me... Nausea going away around this time.

MissMummy I couldn't agree with you more, birth and all the discomforts are so worth it once you hold your baby! I will admit I am a bit traumatized because I delivered knowing she would pass about an hour or two later. It was like I didn't want to push because I knew she wouldn't be safe anymore and when she was in my belly, she was alive and kicking the whole time. I think this time, I will be at the proper week, and more excited to push.

 

[Tournesol]

Thanks girls.
Honestly, I feel like such a moaner, I feel like all I ever do is say how sick I am.
And if I'm not nauseous or being sick, I've got heartburn or acid reflux! Jeez!

As for the birth, I'm strangely not worried about it. Somebody was just asking me today if I was scared and I'm really not. It'll be fine, it's what we're designed for after all!

I'm starting a pregnancy yoga class tomorrow so i can learn to be calm and breathe through the pain

Mizz, you are so so brave. I think I would more than "a little bit traumatised" if I had been through what you have!

 

[Courtney917]

Aww Mizz, its heartbreaking to hear what you went through. Nothing but hugs!!!!

It's true right after giving birth and going through pain you forget as you hold your LO in your arms. I heard my baby's heart today for my 16 week check up. As I left it dawned on Mr...omg there truly is a baby in there and he/she will be joining our family shortly!!! Anyone believe in the old wives tale about fetal heartrates and gender? My boys were always under 150 and this LO has been between 179-151 the entire pregnancy. I wonder if there's some truth to the tale?! I'm getting so anxious waiting til the 11th omg I wanna find out now,lol

 

[Courtney917]

Hi ladies,

I forgot to add this in my last post. This is a TMI question/concern. I went to doctor on Friday and was diagnosed with a yeast infection and was given a class c antifungal cream. I had to use it for 3 days. I did as directed bc wad assured by both the pharmacist as well as OB that its always prescribed during pregnancy and its safe (despite class c classification). Well today I had my regular OB appt and she informed me that the swab that was taken on Friday was sent out and it came back that I have Bacterial Vaginosis. I was now prescribed an oral antibiotic called flagly (sp?) 500 mg twice a dat. This is a class B drug and on insert it says to use during pregnancy only when necessary. Now I know BV can cause preterm labor as I did have it with DS 2 along with a borderline kidney infection at 20 weeks pregnant. I had contractions.....luckily all turned out ok. However, I'm so worried about taking these meds especially after just coming off the antifungal stuff. Plus I'm pissed that they didn't rule out BV before prescribing meds for a yeast infection!!!! Ugh idk what to do I'm so stressed.

 

[MizzPodd]

I just recently finished flagyl meds because of the bv I had and everything is fine. I also took it with my last pregnancy at the beginning and was fine. It makes you a lot more nauseated though. You should be fine! Don't worry I had to take some and was fine I only wish they waited for your results before giving you the cream. That's unsettling because no pregnant woman wants meds she really didn't need. Keep us updated but please take your meds because it can lead to a worse condition if you don't.

On a lighter note, I had two girls and each time the heartbeats were above 150. This pregnancy, the same has been happening except at like 6 weeks when it was 120. If the mid wives take is true, then sounds like I may be having another girl! wow three girls...

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks Mizz, that makes me feel a little better . Its ridiculous they totally shouldve waited!!!!

Soooo you're saying your girls had high heart rates as well?!??! Hmmmmm so I may have a chance that this LO is a girl?!??!?! The anticipation is killing me!!!

Going through some stuff at home so I haven't been posting. DH hit me hard with the PIO shot last night in the totally wrong spot. I went off and he started screaming and yelling at me and the shit hit the fan. Considering a separation now because I don't deserve this and my kids don't either. We are going through marriage counseling but it's done nothing and that's exactly what I expected. All I am praying for is the health of this baby. Nothing else matters at this point...

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Kelly Im sorry to hear that.

You're right, the baby is what matters and I hope you and DH can both get to a place where you're happy. Be that together or apart. Xx

I'm sorry Iluv, I don't understand what you're saying... what's PIO?

I hope everything works out for you though, whatever you decide to do.
