Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[Mummafrog]

Thanks hunny, I literally hate ginger and cinnamon flavour so I have some ginger capsules. I will use them but I just want to finish my antibiotics first because it feels like I'm taking too many pills atm
I'm glad it's helped you, I will try it x

 

[Thejoie]

Oh noooo... I hope your find something that will give you relief. I'll be thinking of you!

 

[vaniilla]

I started my ginger tablets today, nausea is hitting hard, looking after a baby who's sleeping crappy thanks to a cold whilst having same said cold doesn't mix well with morning sickness today is definitely one those days where I worry about how I'll cope.

Mummafrog - I hope the ginger capsules work for you! they're good if you hate the taste of ginger like I do too

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

The last two days I've been almost living off of tums... My heartburn/acid reflux is real... And hits hard.

 

[Mummafrog]

Oh my god vanilla, I'm not alone in ginger hatred! Do you hate cinnamon too? I'm sorry you're so nauseous mine is okay as long as I don't get hungry.

Oof gargle, that's rough.. I had that for the last fifteen weeks or so with my first SO bad that if it happens again I'm considering asking for reflux meds because I was sleeping bloody upright if it goes on for you too long it's supposedly better to get meds than eat tums like candy, which is what I did ;p

I have started sleeping so deeply, I just conk out and blink and I'm awake again. My nipples are proper sore now and I was crazy horny one night and then weeping uncontrollably the next morning.. I'm feeling more stable today xD

I'm not big on cinnamon but I am addicted to cinnamon rolls


I agree it's worth seeing the doc for reflux, tums never did anything for me and the taste made me gag. Have you tried milk?

 

[Girly922]

I think I'm getting sick. I'm ridiculously congested, got the shakes and nausea today. I ended up being sent home from work and just slept. Everyone seems to have it. I hope it passes quickly!

I also don't like ginger or cinnamon really. With DD, ginger just made my nausea worse.

 

[DobbyForever]

Going to get my beta now instead of waiting until 5. Freaking out that my tests look the same. First one was 13 to 15dpo. Second was 14-15 I'm so sick to my stomach

 

[Girly922]

Keeping everything crossed for you dobby! Good luck!

 

[vaniilla]

Dobby - I think it's to do with the dye strength in those tests I know it's easy to stress and worry though

 

[Tui]

I hate ginger too, it actually makes me feel sick, so no good for me. My ms is taking a sabbatical right now. I'd be worried if I hadn't just seen bubs. I've had it since before I hit 4 weeks though, so a break is nice.

 

[Tui]

Dobby don't panic, you won't see a difference at that point. The dye isn't good enough. Betas will reassure you though so go for it.

 

[Mummafrog]

dobby, it will be okay, lots of love

What is wrong with me?? I'm normally a sweetness fiend and I'm sitting in prezzo after my dinner and not craving, I don't want a pudding. This is so weird xD

 

[Thejoie]

Mumma- I'm the same way!!! I ate some of my birthday cake the other day and felt nauseous! That's so not like me- I told my husband " oh boy this is definitely your kiddo" (he doesn't like a lot of sweets either!)

I was having a lot of cramping last night and this morning. Nothing terrible or sharp but like a constant dull ache. Other than that- so far feeling good today!

 

[DobbyForever]

Thank you all! I feel so much better now as my betas came back in 3 hours! I literally had my blown drawn at 9:45 and my gyn emails me my results at 11:45! I love my clinic. Went from 59 to 147 with a doubling time of 49.35, so I am happy. She also said I can repeat the test as much as I want every 2-3 days. So I think for peace of mind I will do Weds right at 9:45 again and as long as that looks good, I'm going to stop having it drawn.

I am also not a fan of ginger but I do love me some ginger ale!

Mummafrog, your baby is in there thinking, "I'm all the sweetness you need, momma" corny I know lol

Thejoie sorry about the cramping. I had some last night as well. Good old uterus stretching out lol.

Btw for bump pictures, I got stickers but just wanted to share that babycenter's free app let's you put digital stickers on your photo. Nothing fancy (it's a boy/girl/surprise or a picture of the fruit or the words spelling the fruit or weeks). Just in case anybody wanted a label on their picture without spending $10 or more on actual stickers. I'd share an example but bnb isn't letting me upload anything

 

[Thejoie]

Those sound super cute!! I'll check it out!

That's great news on your betas





AFM - feeling sick as a dog, doing an online food shop when all the food makes you feel ill is hard work!

Oh what a weekend!!! Started spotting on Saturday and went to the ER expecting the worst. They did blood work and US, beta was 22,000 and US showed a baby with heartbeat of about 100bpm and measuring at about 6 weeks!!! They found a tiny tear where the placenta meets the uterus, but said that 90% of the time it heals and causes no problems. The bleeding has stopped now, and I am supposed to rest and relax... So my husband will now be making most of Thanksgiving dinner by himself (with my supervision) LOL! Symptom wise, I have been having morning sickness starting at 3am throughout the morning... Been really hungry every 2 hours or so and I feel cold a lot... not sure if being cold is a symptom but feel colder than normal...

 

[Maries_s]

I'm not a big fan of ginger either but I learned to drink it in a tea with lemon. BTW those who are not fan of ginger can try natural lemonade. This is the only thing that is helping me in the morning with my morning sickness. I just squeeze half of lemon into my water and add a couple of ice cubes.
I've avoiding sugar too, for some reason I just keep craving for salty food and meat! I am supposed to be vegetarian but I think not anymore for now.

Oh my I bet that was scary, I'm glad to hear all is well now and how great that you got to see a heartbeat!

Marie S - thanks! I'm going to give lemonade a try.
