***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

Ugh, Lisa, I hate car issues. In December, I have to spend $500 to fix my odometer, another $500 to replace the regulator in my passenger side door, and discovered today that my gas tank has a leak in it. A 45 minute drive, which usually uses up 1/8 of a tank of gas used 1/4 tank today. I wasted 1/2 a tank of gas today and have to drive the same distance tomorrow. Then on Tuesday, I have to drive an equal distance and back, and in the evening, a further distance and back. I don't even want to know what it's going to cost to fix the gas tank.

Two words ladies twelve weeks

Hope u are all well, so many posts i can't keep up x

 

[lisaf]

for the 12 weeks!!!

 

[cheree89]

Woohoo - I am jealous of the 12 weeks. Although I am psyched to hit 10 weeks tomorrow.

I really need to take my car in - it needs brakes, new transmission fluid, oil change and a new belt. Ugh. I was going to do it today, but I just didn't feel up to it. I hope this time next year I will be getting a new car.

for the 12 weeks!!!

Hiya ladies! ONLY ONE MORE SLEEP UNTIL MY SCAN!!!

I cant wait to see everyone's piccies tomorrow, it seems there are quite a few of us being scanned tomorrow

Today is the 3rd day in a row I have been rudely awaken, so I am now giving up on having a lay in, but I will try to have a nap later!!

xxxxxxxxx

 

[wild2011]

2 days until my scan! So excited and nervous!

I keep feeling faint, i've nearly fainted quite a few times, as in i would've of if i hadn't sat down and put my head between my legs. It happened twice this morning. Plus i've been getting a lot of headaches and blurred vision. I thought this might be down to migraines but now i'm thinking maybe it's something else.

I don't know if i need to ring my midwife because they don't see you unless it's a routine appointment do they e.g like 16 weeks. Or do i need to ring my doctor?

its quite normal to feel like that during first tri u could ring midwife or doctor, though generally midwife will prob pass it off as not being a problem in early stages, if you get the above in late stages u most deffo should contact them, if you worried about it ring either to put u at ease. xx

Good morning all

1 sleeps till your scans ladies wooppeeeeee

Meow I guess it depends how supportive your MW team are and doctors... my MW said if I have a question worry or concern day or night there is always a MW somewhere who will take my call and she left me numerous numbers, and my doctors aint so bad either. It wouldnt hurt a MW to tell you its normal over the phone hun but it would give you a huge peace of mind! If not maybe book an appointment to see your practice nurse and have her check your BP and let her offer you reassurance, if she feels its not quite normal then she'll be able to seek a 2nd opinion from a GP while you are there! Do try to increase your sugar intake, have dextrose on hand, or lucazade hun, or biscuts and if you do feel faint take something.

Lisa.. nightmare with the hormones! I broke down in the supermarket the other week because they had no chicken pie.. oops lol (and as Joshua pointed out when I was sobbing in the ailse... 'mummy you dont even like pie' lolol). Think it gets hold of us at the most inconvienent times lol Hope the car gets on the mend soon. Mine has cost me a fortune in recent weeks, and still needs a new oil sump but the like is sooooo slight Im going to try and wait until I have finished paying for Christmas as my wages are down atm

I couldnt get up today I was up sooooo many times in the night to pee I was like a drip this morning. I think I got some stretching going on, I moved in bed and oowwwwww then I got up and sneezed and wow that really hurt Im sure it'll settle down over the day baby must be on a growth spurt hehe

 

[wild2011]

morning new, omg i know how the painful sneeze hurts, wowzers had one th eother day , made my eyes water. im feeling rather ok today for the first time in weeks, so im off to do the weekly shop, which has been poo to say the least lately as ive not been able to stomach the meat isles. as for pie, mmmmmmmm ive got 3 variety of chicken pies in my freezer, but i want the one in creamy white sauce, do u think they have ne left wen i go shopping , nooooo i cud cry about it too lol. im sure weve got many more momments like this to come, my little leila stopped me in my tracks this morning to tell me there's 2 or 3 babies in my tummy cos its getting so big. lol. so she got a hahah very funny off me. off to jump in my bath have a good day girls! x

 

[new_to_ttc]

I need to go to the shops too, we run out of bread, milk, grapes, yoghurt lol all the basics but I am so so tried I just cant even think about going all that way its at least 3 minutes by car lolol Think I may do as you are and go for a bath although be scared of falling asleep in it! My bathroom is downstairs so when I need to wake up to pee I have to come down, round to the back of the house and then all the way back, it wakes me up proper and takes me an age to get back to sleep... by which time I need to go again

 

[luckyme225]

hopeful- I'm doing all right, thanks for asking. Having only five hours of sleep makes me feel like crap this monring. I'm going to try and nap when my son does in hopes that it will get me moving more. Didn't end up getting a cold thank goodness but once it hit about 10pm last night I started getting super nauseous and a head ache. Probably because it was a full moon so it was crazy in the ER. Hoping tonight it slow, or steady at the very least. If I keep feeling like shit though I'm just going to have to quit soon because it can't be good on my body. How are you doing? Only a few more days until you see your hubby.

Lisa- sorry your having car trouble. I hate having work done on our vehicles. I get moody over oil changes.


No point in me grocery shopping these days. My food aversions are crazy and I have no idea what i will crave or what wont make me sick each day.

 

[hopefulmama]

I have a stomach bug, have for the last couple days, bad diarrhea(sorry tmi) and bad nausea... everything I eat is going thru me. I've taken imodium and it does not help at all, so I am going to the dr monday.

Lucky- soo happy to hear you're ok, I guess I misread and I thought you personally were going to the ER, i didn't know you worked in the ER. oops.. I would imagine the high stress job can't be good on you while pregnant.

I am very happy to be seeing my hubby soon, i can't wait, it's been 2 weeks exactly to the day and i'm going crazy

 

[luckyme225]

haha no only working there!! Yeah, I'm thinking high stress + lack of sleep = not exactly healthy pregnancy. Hoping to stick it out as long as possible because after this we've decided that I'm not going to work anymore. Maybe when our kids are older, but we plan on having three so that could be 10+ years from now before I work again. Sorry you have a stomach bug. Hope you feel better soon. Normal pregnancy sickness on top of a stomach bug would not be fun.

 

[hopefulmama]

No it's not fun at all, I hope to get better before flying. That wouldn't be cute at all.
Man you have balls, I don't think I could handle 3 kids. I want 2 max. I really want 2 little girls w/my luck i'll get boys
I'm not planning on working, I want to be hands on etc. plus if i am this attached to my dogs, god knows how bad it will be with my baby

 

[msq]

I've got my nuchal translucency ultrasound on Tuesday I'm super excited.

How are all you ladies doing? I'm so happy to be officially in 2nd trimester, woohoo for 13 weeks

 

[lisaf]

hopeful - I had a bug like that a month before I got pregnant.. no fever or nasuea.. just the runs and a grumbly tummy.... I went to the doctor and they wouldn't give me anything until they knew what it was... tests came back negative for everything so basically they said it must be a virus and I had to let it run its course.. 3 weeks was NOT fun... BRAT diet is the only thing that helped at all (bananas, rice, apples, toast)...

totally go to the doctor though because if it is a bacteria etc, its important to know that and get the right treatment.

 

[hopefulmama]

Ya I ate toast and yogurt this morning and so far so good. Regardless it really sucks and it's my luck this would happen before i get to go back to miami and see my husband.
I am craving the breadsticks and alfredo sauce from the olive garden right now hahaha

 

[24/7]

I'm in lots of pain today, in line with my belly button and to the right all round my back, can hardly stand up, let alone bend or anything, not sure what I've done but it's rubbish!! xx

 

[luckyme225]

hopeful- I'm craving breadsticks too, and cheesy bread with garlic sauce. mmm. It's too bad we can't take pepto bismol while pregnant. I love that stuff when I get an icky tummy.

24/7- hope you feel better. I've been having severe back pain on and off since I found out I was pregnant. Mines in the middle of my back though, I had back pain on and off since giving birth to my son, I think pregnancy just intensified it. Hope you can have an easy day and relax.

 

[24/7]

Thanks lucky.
Right girls, heres my current work situation, and its really getting me down, and I don't know what to do.... I cant do my job pregnant, and have just been moved to an office role, and it was my first day on friday, and I hated it.... I didn't feel comfortable with the people, and at one point I heard them talking about me, and how I was so young to be married with a baby on the way (23) and that made the situation worse. I am not trained to do their job, and I'm finding learning something feeling poorly difficult. I spent the day trying to hold in tears, unsuccesfully at times too, and as I left I just burst into tears and cried for the whole evening. I start a seven day stretch tomorrow, followed by just one day off, and I'm feeling so anxious and unhappy, which is made worse by the fact I know feeling like that is bad for the baby. I want to do something different, but hate making a fuss, and I know I'm just going to be told to give it more time, but I just don't want to, I want to just stay at home and feel happy again. I won't see OH on this shift pattern as its so different to his, and this makes me unhappy too.

I don't think there is anything anyone can say or do, but just felt like a vent. xxx
