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

[lisaf]

I think the dry heaves are worse than vomiting... but gagging is better than both heaving and vomiting.

I tossed my vitamins this morning too... my doc said to try taking them before bed instead... so I'm going to try to switch to that..
I did know someone who found that the big horsepills that prenatals are made her sick because she was swallowing air... she had better luck on a smaller one that was prescription-only. Why don't they make smaller ones that you have to take 2 or 3 of? That would be nice damnit!
I think I also read somewere in the First Tri boards that someone's MW said the iron they add to prenatals can make you sick... I think she switched to a regular vitamin and an extra folic acid tablet and did better? hmmm... I may be remembering that wrong.

Feeling sick most of the day now though... and a teensy bit lightheaded.


Though I do think it was KIND of funny how DH was driving all crazy, RIGHT after I told him I wasn't feeling too hot, and I started gagging/heaving... Its kind of nice to be able to PROVE that is driving makes me sick I've been telling him for years!!
And I know I have it so much better than most since most of my food stays down.

Hey new mommies... if you haven't seen the poll yet to pick a name for our group, its here...
https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy/404384-please-vote-may-due-date-group-name.html

I'm pulling for Mini Mayhems, lol!

 

[MamaJo]

Put my EDD down for May 13th please! xx

 

[Rmar]

Even though it seems the majority are on my side, I am reluctant to say that I vote for May Blossoms. Lol, The MiniMayhems seem to be more vocal.

I vote that we get the name sorted, soon. I patiently waiting on a logo!

Dry heaving is worse. It hurts so much.

 

[ttcfurrever]

Congrats fiveoyea!

I feel so sorry for all of you having ms . So far for me it's only sore boobs, back-aches, leg-cramps, peeing a million times per night, and cramping. I have to work this afternoon/evening, but the postpartum pt I had yesterday should be gone by then so I may be able to get on here for a little while.

Is is bad that I voted for Mini Mayhems before I even got my bfp??? Hehehehe, I just had a feeling.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I have found a new solution to being able to keep my food down. It's apparently quite easy to start dry heaving and vomitting at just the sight of the toilet, so I've found that if I dry heave/try to vomit before I eat, I find that I don't feel nauseous while I eat, nor do I vomit afterwards.

On a happier note, my ultrasound is only 6 days away. I'll be 8w3d so hopefully there will be one (or two...or just one) tiny heartbeat.

morning ladies is anyone else here on restricted exercise? I have gone from running 3 miles a day and playing netball to NOTHING, I am only allowed to walk a few blocks - needless to say my ass is now 7 pounds (3 kilos) heavier than it was 3 weeks ago. UGH. I can start swimming today but have to keep my heartrate down so I doubt I will burn this excess fat. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to do whatever I need to for this bean, its just I am super body conscious and this has tipped me into a weight I have not been for years.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Come on Mini Mayhems!!! lololol.... Rmar i think meow said we were going to let all the new May mummies have a chance to vote.. so maybe the name will be picked towards the end of September when the Due in June dates start appearing (wow thats getting so close now lol).

Lisa, my MW also mentioned about the iron in prenatals, she didnt make the link to the sickness though (although makes sense)!!! She just told me so much iron in 1st tri is not good for the baby, but since I came off them and just took folic acid I am managing food a whole lot better, as you know I barely kept a morsel of food down in the early weeks!! Maybe there is a connection, but she definitely said prenatal suppliments (I was taking Pregnacare) are not good early in pregnancy because of the iron!

I dont like the sickness and nausea in any form lolol Ive just had a salad about 45 minutes ago, and yes there was a little bt of tomato dressing on some pasta, but apart from that it was pretty plain, and I still feel sicky arghhhh Its like a lump in my throat, I know if I heave I will be sick no doubt but I hate being sick So deep breathes and gentle sips of water until it passes is my stratagie lol

I am starting to feel 'radiant' now though. I dont know, everyone is commenting on my positive glow and I do feel human for the first half of the day at least (afternoons I neeeeeeeed sleep lolol) Im enjoying feeling pregnant now the extremem symptoms are loosening and becoming managable Wish I was a little less tired in the afternoon as thats my time with Joshua but it'll pass, 2nd tri should be a lot less tiring, I think lol If I remember right ha ha ha

How's everyones day going? Brandi do you think there could be 2 little heartbeats awaiting for you on the scan? Awwww 6 days isnt a long time to wait. I had another appt through this morning for a scan, 18th October, but Im 99% certain thats the same letter they already sent, same day, maybe they have amended the time?? Not sure I will check later lol

Hey hun Im totally starting to miss exercise!! I didnt go in the first weeks out of my own paranoyer but then went I did go back to the gym I was told I couldnt exercise without a medical certificate... which Ive been unable to get due to my highrisk of MC arghhhhhhh so yes, Im on restricted exercise and I dont like it. I work really hard to lose weight to start ttc (have PCOS and weight loss has been a huge battle)... now Im worried its going to creep back u, especially as Im eating what I can and not what I should be, and my calorie count has been a little side stepped from hourly snacks to prevent sickness etc lolol ooops!! I did weight myself this week though, and I am the same weight as I was the week I found out I was pregnant (about 3-4 weeks ago) so Im not worrying yet, but that does mean I havent lost anything either, and I was hoping for another 7lb maybe even a stone off before Christmas!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Well, I've had hyperemesis for the first time in all my pregnancies (This is number 5, but I had two miscarriages between my kids), and my levels have been extremely high, my last one being around the lower end of average for twins of the gestation I was at at the time, so very possibly. However, when I had my last levels done, I also had one of those crappy bedside ultrasounds that don't pick much up. There was only one sac and one heartbeat, so I'm hoping that's all there is this time.

 

[charlotteb24]

hello ladies!
Sorry forgot to say, due date is about the 21st May but i guess till i get my scan we won't know for sure!

I'm kinda peeved as currently, apart from slight nausea and light headedness, i'm not getting many symptoms and with my 1st pregnancy i was as sick as a dog, i became intollerant of cheese and milk, the smell would be enough to make me gag! but it passed in the 2nd trimester. This time around so far i guess i am very lucky but almost feel like i should be feeling sick if you get me?

In terms of exercise, i'd be buggared if they told me to limit my exercise as i'm a hospital porter, i work 11 hours a day 3 days a week walking people in a wheelchair or bed to their appointments and walk on average 12+ miles a day! lol! didn't do me any harm 1st time around so i hope to god that it doesn't this time!

Hope you all stop getting ms soon! got my initial dr's appointment a week today to start the ball rolling! how long till i get a scan?? i can't wait to see my bean!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Wow Charlotte they must be 3 long days for you!!

Each pregnancy is different hun, so that'll be why you havent had the same heavy symptoms, maybe you're carrying a girl this time round or maybe this is your calm before the storm enjoy it while you can hehe You'll probably get offered your scan around 11 - 13 weeks then again later in the pregnancy about 20ish weeks. Congratulations hun Dont forget to vote for the May mummies thread name (Lisa put a link up on page 102 or 103 lol).. ahem Mini Mayhems is kinda cute >>> scarpers lol

My doc said no exercise and take it as easy as possible when I called her with spotting. I have an appt next week so I'm really hoping that they say I can start again. I'm still walking tons at work, but that's it. I haven't even gotten on the scale as I'm really scared! Nothing helps my nausea except eating!

 

[charlotteb24]

Yeh 3 very long days but it gets all my work done in a short space of time and gives me more time are home with my little man which to me is SO important!
I know every pregnancy is different, but i just can't help thinking that theres something wrong if i'm not getting many symptoms! i hate the way my mind works at times! But i'm sure all is fine, at this stage its hard to believe i'm pregnant as you don't really see anything for it! but no doubt we will all start showing soon and have lovely bumps to show off !

Voted on the other post, so when do we get to find out what our names going to be? Exciting stuff! I was a Feb love bug 2009 so i wonder what we shall be this time

Soph - I find when i get slight nausea that eating is the only way of getting rid of it, then i feel all full and lowsy and end up sitting there with cronic gas! tmi! lol!

In terms of weight, last time i was pregnant i put on loads, i was size 10 on top and size 12 on the bottom (uk sizes) before and when i'd had him i was size 12 on top and 14/16 on the bottom but it soon comes off! I became smaller than before when i'd had Noah, before this pregnancy i am now (just about lol) size 8 on top and size 10 on the bottom but i also lost my boobs! was a lowsy 32/34 A and after noah i am now a 32 AA!! but they are growing again now haha so thats one good thing!

Right, no more stalling, i need to go hang the washing out whilst its not raining and noah is sleeping! lazy bum went to bed at 3pm so god knows what time hes going to decide to wake up!

I have good days and bad days with the sickness, I had it about two weeks ago for a few days, then nothing until yesterday when I felt awful. Don't feel so bad today, but very full up, even though I haven't eaten much, and terrible breathlessness, which I am really struggling with. I'm also struggling alot with dizzyness on the days I feel sick, I weigh less than 50kg, and every day I feel unwell I'm losing a couple of kg, and can't seem to keep my blood sugars stable and then they go too low and I feel funny.

Work are being awful over it too, but thats another story!! xx

 

[KimE]

Hi ladies not been on in a couple of days cos I've got a poorly baby who's not been sleeping and crying a lot feeling sorry for herself (poor little lamb) so I'm knackered!! She's down for a nap at the moment

Whew!! You guys can talk!! Can't remember everything I've read as my brain is fried from lack of sleep but congrats to all the new girlys for their BFPs and so happy for everyone who had their scans (24/7 sooooo glad everything is ok hun ) I can't wait for my scan but think it will be at 12 weeks so ages away!!

When did everyone tell their Dr that they're preggo? Not sure how long to wait before I'll be taken "seriously" as I'm not sure of my dates (either 4plus2 or 4plus5) Having a little spotting but lighter than I did with my daughter so FX everything's ok

Have been looking into double strollers - those with more than one baby which one have/are you going to get?

xx

 

[24/7]

I have my booking in appointment on monday at 6+4. xx

 

[luckyme225]

Sorry for all you ladies with bad morning sickness. Hope it settles down soon!! I'm going to pick up some seabands for work and see if that help keeps it at bay.

Uh I had sex today and now I'm super paranoid because I'm having some cramping. I was expecting as much but it still makes me nervous.

 

[ttcfurrever]

I got off work early . I'm here relaxing with dh watching a little TV.

KimE- I told my doc right away because I'm high risk. Hope your daughter feels better soon.

24/7 land Soph- feel better soon

Zee- since you were very active before you shouldn't have issues with it coming right off postpartum.

Charlotte- welcome and congrats.

Brandi- can't wait to see if it's one or two!

New- I hear you on the weight gain. I have pcos too and I really want to gain on the very low end of the scale.

Lisa- how's it going today hon?

Hi to everyone else, hope everyone's feeling ok.

 

[lisaf]

I'm doing ok today.. some nausea... I was gagging pretty hard but I was dealing with stinky plant water, thats to be expected!

Got some great news at work today, just good news for our company in general and knowing that my job will definitely be secure (we're a start-up so there is always some level of uncertainty during key moments of launching).
