Ok girls it's been a while but :blush: I'm bringing the conversation back to poop, or lack of it more to the point :rofl:

Honestly think this is the most constipated I've ever been in my life!! I'm drinking loads of water and orange juice and eating wholemeal bread and clementines etc and still nothing.

Also my little jellybean must be using my bladder as a bongo drum today as I had to pee 3 times in the space of about 10 minutes earlier. You know when you get that about to burst feeling and I thought this can't be happening I just peed but sure enough more pee :blush:

Sorry for temporaily lowering the tone I'll stop it now :thumbup:
 
Oh I really hate prunes but right now I think I'd maybe even try them!!
 
Bran flakes are full of fibre which should help I used to eat it when I was constipated in the first tri

:flower:
 
Thanks Sofiekirsten also meant to say lovely bump picture earlier :thumbup: :flower:
 
ohhh hate constipation, i have my trusty senna. have u tried liqorice? when you finally do go i bet you have to check it was a poop you did had a few painful ones like that recently. 1 moment of relief 1 moment of panic.
 
Thats a very nice bump how did you sprout that so quick?

If this one is for me lol.....

I have no idea...I had a tiny little bump when I was 10/11 weeks but just put it done to bloat but now I look massive and its all egg shaped!??

:flower:
 
Try lactalose from the chemist, it worked a treat for me when I was pregnant with James!
 
Oooh constipation....Gilz I have been plagued by it. Resorted to syrup of figs from boots after trying all the dietary fluids stuff. Then pooped for England and couldnt stop. So now I just go whenever I can go, be it on the wards (in the toilet of course, not literally :blush:), or at a friends or wherever. Lost any dignity, if I ever had any.

Molly, poor you. I know how it feels to be in pain, but luckily I have escaped it so far. Just the odd niggle that has soon settled. I dread my sciatica returning with avengance. My hips used to hurt so much to lay on, could never get comfy and therefore never slept until ended up on a bucketful of mind-numbing (but pain relieving) medications.

Luckily the night shifts in psychiatry arent too bad on the whole. You are right, as docs we spend most of our time on our butts talking and then writing. Which is exactly what I have just done for the last six hours. The exercise is only walking from ward to ward. To then sit down again and talk to someone else.

And you a right, it is fun most of the time. Had some great patients tonights, they were so elated and on top of the world it is contagious. It seems a shame to medicate them and dull their happiness! It can be sad too, though when people have had terrible lives and you know that if you had lived their life and been in their shoes you would be in exactly the same place, and no amount of talking or tablets can fix them. Some are just kids themselves. Ho hum.

Are you off completely at the moment then Molly?

And I think all our scans are done once past 20 weeks anomoly scan, unless its indicated for whatever reason. The mw usually check position by palpation. Cant wait for mine!

Peanut luckily the nausea has abatated with a big slug of gaviscon. i know its not your favourite, but all I could get my hands on! And it worked enough for me to just finish off a yummy salad. It may not be pregnancy related, as OH has similiar symptoms and half my ward has diarrhoea and vomiting. I dont feel great, but cant put my finger on it. Given I have had no ms, you are right is probably something else.

Hope everyone is safely tucked up in bed, comfortable and snoring away. Hope your wriggly boy is sleeping too Madcat! Sweet dreams all xx
 
Last night I had the weirdest dream about some challenge to the world that might destroy it and us ladies were in it and having to play a significant role as we were this special team. It was kind of in the future. Molly you were a pilot! And someone else, Gilz maybe, was the daughter of a French president who was leading the fight. :rofl:

I am so tired. Stupid work.
 
Pregnancy dreams are so crazy, and feel sooo real dont they!

I actually feel good today, I had 5 and 1/2 hours straight sleep last night which is the most in well over a month as James has been so poory?

Sorry whos struggling with sciatica? I'm the same, its worse if I do to much, need to rest more! I fell down the stairs at the weekend as I went to step on the top step and it went, I went flying down to the bottom but luckily on my bum and I wasnt holding James. Grr its horrid isnt it :hugs:
 
Oh Peanut your dream sounds weird but fab :thumbup:

I just spent 20 fun filled minutes on the phone to nhs 24. I sweated threw 2 sets of jammies last night and my whole body is now sore so I was slightly worries i have flu. Nurse at nhs24 agrees and thinks I also have a viral infection due to my gross green cough mucus. Now waiting on the Dr phoning back to tell me where I have to go to collect a prescription for antibiotics.
 
Morning!!

Guess what!, i have my 3D 4D scan booked for 2 weeks time!:happydance:, sunday 23rd. OMG!.:dohh:

Gilz, im spending half my life constipated these days, doesnt matter what you do if youre prone to it!. after a week, i managed to shift it eating shreddies, loads of water and 2 doses of fybolgel plus a plate of baked beans!.
Really sorry to hear how ill youre feeling, and they think its the flu, god i hope not. This jab decision is still bugging me, im supposed to ring the chemist this morning about it(why not the doctors is anyones guess) but hearing about your symptoms is a bit worrying.
 
I've got my flu jab booked for the 14th Madcat but it seems it might be a little late now :blush:

The Dr phoned back and they want me to go into hospital to get checked over instead of just giving me antibiotics. I've to go in at 12 so hopefully they'll just tell me to take my germs home. The Dr kept asking if I could feel the baby regularly and I kept saying no I have an anterior placenta so haven't felt anything yet and he was very confused by that. Clearly not a obstetrician :dohh:

Im glad they're taking you in to check you over hun, suprised a doc doesnt know what an anterior placenta is though:dohh:, you should ask for a scan/doppler being as you have not felt baby move anyway.

:hugs:x
 
Think he understood the placenta bit but wasnt really understanding the fact that I still can't feel anything at nearly 21 weeks. He just kept saying "what you still can't feel anything" silly man.

Thankfully my OH doesn't go away til tonight so he can take me to the hospital, probaly wouldn't be best to drive myself there :haha:
