May Marvels 2018

So today wasn't as awesome as yesterday but once I got more food in me around 10am it settled in.
I was hungry and came home and ate fast and almost vomited.

Guess I have to keep little bits in every hour to be ok.
12 weeks today! Time for all symptoms to vanish. I just want a freaking appetite and for things to taste good. I am sick of bland food.
 
Ricschick, my cat Mochi has become like a mother hen over me. If I am not feeling well she is constantly by my side, and when I do feel OK she comes into the room to check up on me.
 
Woke up shaky and hungry yesterday night so attempted to eat a banana. Bad bad idea, I threw it back up before I'd even finished it. :/
 
RnW, I did hypnobirthing with my son - it was awesome and so empowering and i highly recommend it!

Cheluzal , glad you've been gradually starting to feel better. I hope the nausea leaves you completely soon. Happy 12 weeks!

Chibi, sorry you were sick in the night :(
 
Aww Chib that's no good!! Try to eat a small snack like yogurt and granola or crackers and cheese before bed. Sounds like you were hypoglycaemic!! If you feel shaky it probably means really low blood sugar... a few sips of juice will get your bs back up in an emergency but try and eat every 2 hrs or so to keep your bs levels steady. Sorry if you know all that -- I get gestational diabetes so I'm all over blood sugar info ha! Don't mean to be a bossy pants XD

Afm, My first shift at work tonight went ok. Nausea was manageable. But I could definitely feel pgp and have a really sore pubic symphysis tonight. Worst of all, I forgot my diclectin at home so missed my 6pm dose and didn't get it until 8:15. SO that might set my day off tomorrow. All in all, I will probably only make it till Christmas before I have to go on medical leave, which is what I was aiming for anyways.
 
Afm, pretty much all my 1st tri symptoms have gone except sore boobs. Heck are they sore! But now I'm starting to wake up in the night to pee. When are these mystical 2nd tri 'glowing' things meant to happen? Still feel like I've been hit by a bus :haha:

TRADE YOU!!! LOL
I will take ALL that over what I've experienced.

My boobs barely got sore, I can go all night without peeing, no heartburn, no back pain, etc....JUST freaking nausea that kills me.

Chel honestly that sounds a little condescending. I would encourage you to not minimize others experiences of pregnancy. It might seem easy to you to deal with broken' symptoms but you're comparing it to your experience. Everyone adapts to their level of discomfort during pregnancy, very few mamas have it "easy". It's hard for all of us no matter if it's HG or ms or pgp or varicose veins or w/e. We're here to support and encourage each other.

Being diabetic, I feel you on the night lows. When I'm nauseous and need to bring my sugars up, I mix some sugar into vanilla yogurt and eat that. Usually does the trick within 10-15 minutes and is easy on the stomach.
 
I agree everyone’s experiences of pregnancy and the way symptoms affect them varies so hugely. I had HG with both previous pregnancies and it sucked. I couldn’t eat, was on meds til 20 weeks and felt dreadful. I haven’t had it this time thankfully and have been far less sick BUT I can honestly say I’ve felt worse this pregnancy than the others, with the exhaustion and daily headaches. I’ve felt like utter crap and really down at times, probably because I’m working full time, studying and being a mum to two kids. We definitely can’t compare how we feel to others as everyone’s experience is unique. But we’re all in this together- throwing up, headaches, tiredness, heartburn, constant peeing, discharge and all the other disgusting bits that come with being pregnant! It’ll be worth it ladies 😊
 
Ps I’ll be back later to update the first post, need to get on the laptop x

Is that mother hen kitty in your profile picture? She is beautiful! I have such a soft spot for tuxie kitties and black kitties. They're all I've ever owned up until now. I have a tabby, a tuxie and a white and black kitty.
 
Chi that sounds awful!!! Good tips off the girls tho hopefully that won't happen to often!!

Happy 14 weeks vierasky!!!

I no for me I can't stand the hungover feeling of a morning feeling so groggy and the headaches which then make you feel really sick!! Il definitely be glad once 2nd tri is here!!! Lol.
Belly feels quite tender today think it's been growing over night!

Yes it is! I told OH that she needs a pearl collar because it would look lovely on her, so I did a mini photoshoot of her with my necklace :haha:

She is one of the best cats I have ever had. Super laid back and calm about everything. She also mothers our old grandpa cat too and makes sure he eats.

Thank you, Rics!
 
Reiko-I had GD with my first pregnancy also. Thankfully it was diet controlled and I had no complications, but I’m really hoping I’m able to skip it this time. It’s just a bummer having to do the low carb diet at a time where you SHOULD be able to let loose a little bit and enjoy treats. And the constant blood sugar taking is annoying too. Here’s to hoping we are both lucky this time around!! I still have my glucometer, but honestly have been too scared to check my sugars, lol.

Cheluzal-I’m sure you’re just feeling frustrated with your sickness. I can relate...during my first pregnancy I was also in a pregnancy group on here. Slowly as second trimester approached, it seemed like almost everyone else was feeling better....yet there I was, still sick, still throwing up, and still feeling like garbage until the pregnancy was more than half over. It’s discouraging and I got really depressed. I felt like I was getting left behind. All you want to do is just enjoy the pregnancy and the miracle that’s growing inside you, but the sickness makes it really hard. All you can do is hang in there. The baby is worth it, I promise!

Afm, I haven’t been posting much because I don’t really have many good things to say. The hypersalivation continues, the vomiting continues, and now I have what I believe to be a tooth abscess!! Ugh. Starting to feel like there is no way I’m going to be feeling better by the time 2nd tri gets here. It would be too good to be true.

That sucks. I'm so sorry you're still dealing with it all!! The hypersalivation is awful and vomiting is the worst. And then the tooth!! Oh my goodness!! Will you need antibiotics? Hugs mama!!
 
Emzy I feel like the more kids you have the more exhausted you are during pregnancy... maybe Ricschick can speak to that ha!! You can't rest because there's always someone needing your attention!! I have had a few days where we've watched way too much paw patrol so I can shut my eyes on the couch and I feel terrible about it!!

I’m not sure. I’ve had issues with this same stupid tooth for years. Years ago, a dentist broke a drill on it. Then years later I needed a root canal. Then after that, got an infection where the pain was so bad it was unbearable..needed pain meds and antibiotics. When I was pregnant last time, started having issues with it again, had some pain. Had a dentist look at it and he said my root canal was done incorrectly and that I needed to see a specialist. Apparently food gets caught in there more easily then it should, which causes pain and eventually leads to minor infection. he didn’t even treat it and said I just needed to have my root canal re-done. The pain magically went away though, I guess things resolved themselves, and I never followed up on it because it felt good. This time, I feel a lump along my jawline, my cheek is slightly swollen, but I have no pain except when I press on it. May let it go a few days and see if it resolves. Obviously if pain starts or swelling gets worse I’ll go in. Don’t want to mess around with infections.
 
Oh yes I definitely get more tired the more pregnancies I've had ! As you say you have other people to look after and chores to be done! I'm up at 6 every morning (bit later on weekends) older kids are up at 6.30 they leave at 7 then I get the youngest 3 up and we leave by 8! Then I come home and have to collect joanie at 11.30 from nursery so I'm in and out all day and fit the housework in between! 😴 Lol.

Toothache is the worst isn't it!! I need to go to the dentist just for a clean and one of my teeth are quite sensitive when I bite on it but she's so rough!!! And I'm really put off going!
 
Huge sympathy on the toothache front - my wisdom teeth went nutso when I had DD3 and I had to get antibiotics at about 34 weeks; the pharmacist was really awful and queried me taking them even though the dentist had prescribed them.

I ended up checking with OB friend and she confirmed the type I had been prescribed were used on prem babies so my almost full term baby was fine. Eurgh to rotters and their judgement!! :growlmad:

Anyways, I am glad most of you are getting relief from symptoms and so sorry to the few of you that aren't!

I am deffo bigger this evening than when we did a bump pic this morn - I think it is because it is baby number 4! However, I don't think I will get early movements because they said my placenta was on the front wall. I think it will be a while until it is a bump and not pudge but you have to start somewhere! :)

Huggles did you take a class for hypnobirthing or did you teach yourself? I have someone local that offers a 6 week course but classes are 2.5 hours long. I would appreciate any advice you might have on the subject. Since this will be my last I want to be 'present' as much as possible.

Reiko I've also done my share of movie babysitting while I catch a quick nap. It's one of the reasons I took myself off of diclectin.

I went to a friends house for a girls night last night and stayed out until 2am so I could drive a friend home that was having wine. I may as well have been drinking for how I feel today. I totally feel hungover and can't get rid of the pukey feeling. I won't be doing that again. I also think I felt the first bubbles last night. I ate some dried fruit and shortly after felt some bubbles with no gas to follow. I'm so desperate at feel them I hope I'm not imagining it. The whole anterior placenta thing puts some doubt in my mind.
 
Rosie you look gorge! Mine is pretty soft but I think my uterus is pushing up and out so the tummy squish has no choice but to stick out lol.
