[LoolaBear]

fides - love the jungle set! good buy

k8y - wow hun you're talented!! gorgeous room you've created there!!

Loola - so glad to hear Tye is doing better! wow he does have an amazing name.. Tye Vanentine - love it! and you can be sure there won't be ten of them in the class

welcome and congrats abs and twinkle! (hope I didn't miss anyone!!) twinkle, you're due on my sister's birthday!!

lunalady - My skin goes dry in pregnancy.. I just keep heaping almond oil on it.

although.. I've broken out in psoriasis for the first time in my life My sister has it. And I was really sick for about 3 weeks with strep throat, which I know is a trigger, and I've been covered in spots for about 3 weeks now I think maybe pregnancy hormones helped trigger it? I thought it was an allergy to laundrey soap at first, but it's just not gone away and now it really looks like psoriasis spots. No idea what I can do while pregnant, if anything? anyone have any experience with this? going to make an appointment for the dermo on monday. poooo!!

im a regular sufferer of psoriasis i tend to have it all the time, the only time i dont have it is when im pregnant. pregnancy hormones can be a trigger for it if its already in your family.
for me i was at high risk of developing it anyway as i have asthma and heyfever and psoriasis belongs to the same gene group.
the only thing i can say is it will ease once you get to 2nd tri, mine isnt so much the spots but the really dry flakey skin (where patchs of skin produce too much skin)
and it will be better one the summer gets here as the sun does wonders for it!
there are creams you can get that are made out of goats milk, it contains an enzyme that helps the skin to slow down production which in turn gives it time to heal properly.
olive oil after a nice warm bath and exfoliation is a wonder treatment as well. steer clear of stuff from the doctors, it only makes it come back 10 times worse when you stop using it, ive had every single cream ointment and treatment the doctor can prescribe and it only started as little patches on my elbows, now it almost covers the top parts of my arms and my ankles and have patches all over my body now all because of the doctor.
another thing i do once a month (mainly cos it hurts like a bitch!) is i get a nail file and rub it over the worse patches (gives a really deep exfoliation) then clean it wil salt water (ouch ouch ouch!) then pat dry and rub on olive oil.
now my skin yes it is still red in the places i have it but its no longer dry and the patches are slowly decreasing in size, but i do love once i get to 2nd tri as it just goes, and then the sun helps my skin to heal in the summer, its really only the winter months i suffer from it now which is good as ive had it for over 10 years now!
hope that helps nyn. x

I'm feeling so sick!! yuck I haven't actually been sick, but just constant constant nausea now for a few days. I'm even wondering if I make myself sick if I'll feel better?

Never had this before!

 

[LoolaBear]

i know sometimes when mine gets bad if i even jsut make myself gag a bit it really helps ease it, i dont know if it will work for anyone else though nyn x

 

[Nyn]

Thank you so much Loola!! My mum did give me some prescription cream and it did get better and then came back again I'll try the olive oil and go and see about some goat milk cream - would Bio shops have it do you think? Or do you know of a store in the UK I can get some as I'm coming to the UK in April? My sister has said about how UV rays do wonders so I'm waiting for the sun!! Thanks hun and here's waiting for the 2nd trimester for more reasons than one now! xxx

its just www.psoriasiscream.co.uk

they do creams lotions shampoos, in all sorts of sizes and the great thing is i can make the small tub of cream last me about three months as you dont need much at all so the large tub of cream should last ages! x

babyanise, i'm so sorry for your loss.

 

[fides]

k8y, i LOVE your kid's room! well done! i'd love to do a mural, but i don't know if i have that kind of artistic capability - you did a fantastic job!

mummy, love the bracelet!

DrG, love the "build it and they will come" mentality!

qwk, glad your numbers look good so early on! i'll have to check out the "praying through your pregnancy" - my sister got me a devotional book for married couples last pregnancy, but i just haven't gone back to look at it - i don't think it was week-by-week.

huge congratulations to abs, twinkle, mummi2be & jenni!!! welcome!

Nyn, so sorry you're getting really sick. i haven't tried it yet b/c i didn't know about it last time and i haven't reached sickness this time, but i keep reading that doses of B6 after each meal will help with morning sickness, if you want to give it a go. Hope you feel better soon.

 

[pink_bow]

Congrats & welcome to all the new november mums!

[Flake-y]

So sorry to hear that.

 

[DrGomps]

so sorry for your loss babyanise.

fides, I didn't know that about B6, I have been taking it every morning and i haven't puked yet...(thank god)!

mummycat, I do have a strong stomach, but my work can get quite smelly and I have a huge problem with smells at the moment. The smell of blood , the smell of e coli cultures (smells like feces),the smell of some of the chemicals (sulfur smell, like rotten eggs), ugh..gross. Luckily most of the time the brains I am dissecting are from postnatal day 1 so they are young, but when I do the brain dissections of the older ones its much grosser and it was making me nauseous the other day.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but do you guys fear that other people will guess you are pregnant because you are not drinking? I was at a party for a faculty member in my department who got a million dollar grant and had to turn down a pisco sour (he knows how much I love those and I usually have quite a few at his parties). One friend already guessed I was pregnant because I offered to bring grape juice to a wine and cheese. Eeeks!!
