Saw the dietician Tuesday and already started the diet and pricking my finger 4 times a day. I woke up depressed like I lost my freedom. I want this winter to fly!!!!

 

[Tournesol]

Anyone else still sick? We got to 18w today (yay!) but last night I was so sick! It was awful. At least it's only every few days now I suppose, when it was all day every day I thought I was dying! (Drama queen!)
I'm still really tired too, never did get that energy boost. I have a nice bump now though which people are commenting on. People also comment that I look pale, tired and sick, which I don't really appreciate but I guess when you're pregnant people feel they have a right to tell you that you like s**t!

Tour... I have woken the last 2 days feeling really queasy too.... not like me at all. Hubby reckons it is because my stomach is starting to get squished up... either that or I am coming out in sympathy with the Duchess!

 

[Courtney917]

My sickness actually started up again. It stopped at 16 weeks and now comes back every time I eat something .

How much weight has everyone gained so far? Ive gained 6lbs and I'm 19 weeks. I guess this is average? I'm sooo nervous bc with DS2 I gained 60 lbs and I don't want to do that again!!!

 

[Tournesol]

Oh, it's so awful! I woke up at 3am and had to run to the toilet, nearly didn't make it! I got almost no sleep after that, kept having to get up to be sick every hour or so.

Courtney, I've gained 2 kilos (4 1/2 lb) but I lost 2 kilos in the 1st tri, so I guess I haven't really gained anything.

That's terrible! have you been taking meds for it? Mine isn't that bad--its more like a sea sickness. I hope you start feeling better sooner than later .

 

[padbrat]

Mine has started up again.. and it hits me between 2 and 4am... just feel headachy and queasy. It lasted all through the day the other day...bleurghhhh

 

[MightyMom]

My sickness subsided but the fatigue is back. I just want to sleep all day long! (And I have, but don't tell anyone. )

My friend said I have a nice bump but I just think I look like I've eaten too much. Must get camera to take bump pic!

Spotting again today...not what I wanted at 18 weeks. But my baby is a sweet potato and he's kicking away! Keeps me positive even with the discouraging symptoms.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

I hear you mighty mom! I would be totally fine never leaving the bed.

Had a sugar fail tonight. DD was having an overnight and they spilled an entire container of lemonade all over my kitchen. Let's not even go there that they are 10 years old!!!!!!!!!! So yea I sent her home. I cleaned for what seemed like forever and then got real shaky and had a small cup of apple juice. We ate dinner maybe an hour later. Went to check my sugar an hour after that and it was 160. I'm thinking it was from the juice even though it was so long after. That and I'm in pain from over doing it.

They are 10? Pffffbt. My mom would have had ME cleaning while she watched. Kids bounce back much quicker from chores than we tired adults, LOL!

 

[EMTAmanda]

We made it to 19 weeks today!!!! Anatomy scan monday morning AND hubby felt her move today :-D

I know that sugar scare must have been really crazy!! Try drinking about half a cup next time with a little protein so it'll balance out the levels better (sorry to intrude, but when i had gd I learned so much). Praying I don't get it again tho. Besides that, I hope evryting else is going pretty good for

 

[MizzPodd]

Thanks ladies for the nice words... I know she is grateful for that.
Not really much to say right now, I think I have subconsciously suppressed my feelings because I feel numb still. Can't explain it. I think I will probably feel something after this one is born. I can't let myself feel anything yet; I am not going into preterm labor again and letting another baby die in my arms. I am 16 1/2 weeks, and I need to make it at least 20, and then 24. I know its a different pregnancy, but who can not think about what happened to them when they are around the same time again. 18 weeks and 5 days, and she was born alive. So I know my babies are super strong. The doctors said it was unusual for a baby to be born alive so soon. I just need my body to hang in there for the baby this time. Okay, sorry for the blabbing... Just feeling numb, or intense if i think about this

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Yep 10!!! My daughter knew better and this other girl I think it's just impulsive to care. Her mother never apologized for any of it and now things are weird between us. I really should have made them clean but I saw a bigger mess.

Failed another sugar for no good reason... Had a grilled ham & cheese sandwich with a cup of vegetable soup and a salad at a local restaurant tonight. They said diet alone may not be enough and now I fear that.

Aww mizz, nothing but hugs to you! I can only imagine how numb you are and you have every right to be. You sure do have strong babies! This LO will be okay, she has his/her big sister watching over her.

 

[Tournesol]

Hang in there Mizz, everything will be just fine this time. I can't imagine how you must be feeling, big, huge hugs to you xx

Courtney I was on meds, but I've run out now and I'm reluctant to get any more as I'd rather ride it out by myself and I don't think they really worked anyway.

I can't stop crying today no particular reason except that I'm hormonal and absolutely exhausted, mainly from hardly any sleep as I keep being sick in the night. When will this MS end?! Also I woke up with a migraine in the night, which really didn't help with the sleep deprivation.

 

[Courtney917]

I agree Tour. They've offered me meds but I rather not take them. I've been having debilitating heartburn though. Omg its horrible. Nothing works for it and it has me doubled over in pain when it strikes! I am at my wits end and barely want to eat anything as a result. Anyone else have this problem???

 

[Tournesol]

Poor you! I get heartburn, but not that bad, a drop of gaviscon gets rid of it for me.

 

[Courtney917]

its horrible!
