lol wild.. your body must have known

I just had a quick look on line and seems my boss was right, I do qualify for SMP this time!! woopeeee My pay must have been less when I had Joshua. Oh well, thats a huge relief! Plus Im sure she said I get some full pay from them then when I go on SMP it will be at 90% of my wage so thats not too bad either

 

[wild2011]

not bad at all and im sure a relief, u can relax about it a bit now , im in the middle of registering for the aptamil and cow n gate free teddies. wrapped in my duvet on sofa while the girls r running riot, lol

 

[new_to_ttc]

hehe sounds bliss Joshua is quietly watching Fireman Sam so Im not up to very much either lol Although I have a list of a million things I could be doing lol ... oh well isnt that what tomorrows are for??? lol

 

[24/7]

I'm actually doing something today, to try and distract myself from feeling sick - ironong. I haven't done any for weeks, probably over a month, oops!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

24/7 If I do all my laundry (which I havent done in over a week lol) do you want to do my ironing? I hate ironing lol

Are you eating little and often for the sickness? Are you worse after certain products? I still cant go near milk!! Hope the sickness settles down soon hun xxxxx

 

[wild2011]

i cant get any eating method right, the only time i can keep anything down is between 9am-12 noon, i then struggle to even keep liquid down, constantly feel dehydrated arghhhh

Has anyone had like a dull achy pain that comes and goes near their hip bone on the right side. I woke up with it, i don't have a fever so I ruled out the appendix thing. It's not excruciating, I am wondering if I just slept wrong because I was having very weird dreams moving all over the place... what's this round ligament pain you keep talking about.. cause I was sleeping on my side but sort of twisted.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh no I was bad in the early weeks but when I came of the prenatals it settled down. You're not taking any prenatals with iron in are you??? At first all I could eat was potato, then I managed cinnemon bagels and slowly added variety but always had a bagel to hand as it quickly settled the nausea Luckily now if I feel that sickly feeling fruit settles it, so its far more healthier lol I did find though eating small amounts (and I mean small I still have a smaller portion than Joshua!) but eating something every 2 or 3 hours helps. Hope you ladies find a way of easing it, or it eases up for you soon!

 

[hopefulmama]

I know what round ligament pain is, but how do you guys experience it? over time or is it just sharp and sudden?

 

[24/7]

Sure, send it over!!
No dairy here as I'm lactose intollerent, but still feeling pretty rough at times, have made a doc app for next week, I think I need abit of time off, I'm losing too much weight still feeling MS'y, my coeliac symptoms are all coming back, and I'm flapping about work, and I know its no good for my health, let alone the babys, and even work have said how poorly I look and I should take time out, just a shame I have to wait a week to see if doc will play ball, and I'm not sure how they are about pregnancy sickness etc.... xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Ermmm if thats what I experienced its like a pulling sensation when I move to fast, its quiet painful but I wouldnt describe it as a sharp pain! I get a similar feeling when I sneeze too (which is probably weird lol) Same with the ribs thing, its not sharp pain like when I fractured them, more like pressure type of pain. Sorry hopeful, Im not helping am I? Hope you're feeling better soon, sounds like it could be all the stretching and growing though xxxx

Hey ladies!

Got back from my scan and everything is looking good. Flump didnt want to get into a good position for the sonographer so i had to do a hip jiggly dance on the bed, it was so funny, and it made the scan last longer, which made me happy. Dylan loved it and kept pointing to the screen saying "baby"

Here are my piccies, a bit blurry where i had to take the pics with my phone, my camera just died, any boy/girl guesses?

Great pics!! One week to go for mine!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Awww Wiggler congratulations hunni!!!! Lovely scan photos you can see baby's profile so clearly!

24/7 a week to see a doctor??? Cant you ring back at 1pm and ask for an emergency afternoon slot??? My GP isnt always forthcoming with appointments but they will always squeeze you in at the end if its important, or get you one the next day if you can wait. ... Right off to do the laundry to get it over to you

Receptionist said it wasn't an emergency, and for a routine app, this is really good for my docs!! xx

 

[wild2011]

aww wiggler, luvly.

24/7 i got signed off during my last 2 pregnancies early on but my sicknes is severe as i suffer with hyperemesis.

yer new, it will get to a stage soon where i will be able to eat small and often, but thats usually at 16-17 weeks pg for me, hyperemesis dictates wen i can eat and drink and have energy to do ne thing. it's vile and ive suffered before, but nothing ever prepares you for it. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

You have a highly qualified receptionist then!!!! Since when did she become qualified to offer up a diagnosis??? Cant you ring your MW to get you an appointment. They say if you are struggling to do normal day to day things because of sickness then its time to get medical advice.. soooo that to me is an emergency! Maybe lay it on a bit thicker with the MW or recepionist... they wont discuss it with the doctor so you can give your doctor an accurate description of how you feel. A week is way too long if you not coping with it hun xxx

 

[wild2011]

24/7 im totally with new, ring up and insist you need to be seen today, and remind her that during working hours your gp has a duty of care. works for me, they can't refuse xxx

 

[24/7]

Oh yes, shes fab!! Hmm.... I'd ring the midwife, but she was absolutely awful, and havent asked to change yet, and definately don't want to see the witchypoo again!! I can self certify sickness for a week if needs be, just didn't really want to, as because of my coeliac I don't have a great record, and they are very funny about me having time ff etc. xxx
