I am weirdly jealous of your morning sickness!

 

[zephyr]

Hehe you'll get some soon!! id love to just skip the first tri the sickness isn't much fun. Todays was manageable but came out of nowhere. I spent an hour with my nana in law picking berries and getting watermelon and shopping for fruit and veggies. It was fun and the watermelon was just what I felt like and she didn't suspect a thing! Thank goodness.

 

[jmandrews]

Zephyr I'd love to have your weather right now! That sounds like fun and fruit sounds so yummy!

Yes very bloated. I was able to eat dinner tonight but I still be nauseas. DH just had a bunch of m&ms and he is breathing on me. Ugh I can't handle it.

I'll let you all know how my dr appt goes in the morning.

Sorry if I'm not able to make any updates until the afternoon.

Thank you ladies for the concern. I've been laid up in bed all day and having to take Tylenol every 4 hours to help with pain and fever. Now the cough has set in and my sternum is on fire. Not sure what happened there. I am hoping the antibotics help soon!

Thanks for listening to me whine! You all are the best


I must have missed the bloat picture LOL I haven't gotten any yet, or any MS yet. Kinda off putting, but I know it will all be here soon enough.

I will be writing a blog post to announce my pregnancy. I get a lot of grief because of my large family, so I have a article planned to put any nay sayers in their place

Interesting 2 hours.

Hunger,craving burgerking,got BK. Ate indigestion on last bite 4 tums felt great and boom its not staying down...Had to laugh as getting sick cause just spent how much on a meal and nope no go. Husband has been good about getting different items. Though a bit annoyed as one day one thing next another and none really seems to stay down that well.

@GP I know what you mean about being jealous! I keep wondering if I will get hit with morning sickness if I make it to 6 weeks. I didn't really get any last pregnancy, but started feeling a bit nauseous at around 9 weeks.

No bleeding so far today. It's only 10am though BUT I will live in hope!

Thats great Whigfield,

I don't know whether I am coming or going today, do not know what to do with myself.

 

[jmandrews]

I have a morning rant. I was sound asleep until a smoke detector went out in my DD's room. The batteries were dying so it kept making a very loud chirping sound at 6am! DH got up and replaced the batteries but it woke up DD. Luckily she settled back down and went to sleep. Except I can't get back to sleep especially since I need to get up soon to get ready for my Dr. Appt. im def going to need a nap today.
Now I am starving. Lol I'm a mess.

Ps I'm 5 weeks today! Woo Hoo!
Hope everyone has a great day!!!

That's great whigfield!!!

 

[whigfield]

Congrats on 5 weeks!

Ah that's great news

 

[GingerPanda]

Jmandrews, happy 5 weeks to us! The passed three days, if I get disturbed I can't go back to sleep either.

Whigfield, I hope that nasty bleeding stays away!

Mo2P, I hope you feel better soon!

Kittycat, that's a bummer about craving something then throwing it up!



AFM, 5 weeks today! I'm finally no longer a frickin' sesame seed!

But I woke up with a sore throat. My sinuses were draining down my throat all night I guess. I'll have to figure out what's safe to take.

Does anybody feel guilty for sleeping on their back or right side at this stage? I mean, I figure nothing's big enough at this point to do any damage. And when I was pregnant before, my midwife actually told me it was safe to lay on my right side throughout the pregnancy, but not on my back.

Congrats GingerPanda and jmandrews on 5 weeks!

Spoke to my midwife today. She seems nice.

Got my first appointment 6th feb

Thinking of a home birth due to fast labours-anyone else considering a home birth?

 

[GingerPanda]

I wish I could have a home birth, but it's illegal for midwives to attend them here. And I'm not comfortable being unattended.

Wow. Didn't know they were illegal in some places!

They aren't allowed if your classed as a risky pregnancy though.

You get two midwifes with you throughout your birth/labour, so it's not unattended....can't imagine doing it alone, how scary.

I definitely want a water birth too

 

[GingerPanda]

Yep, for a midwife to perform a home birth in the state of Kentucky, she has to have a special permit. But they stopped issuing those permits in the 70's.

It's really hard to find midwives here at all. I go to a doctor's office across the state line in Ohio, as it's the closes office that has them. I'm not using them now, because I don't trust them after my loss. So I have an OB now anyway! But he will let me birth in the birthing center unit of the hospital, rather than the regular L&D unit. I can use the water tub for pain management, but I can't give birth in it.

 

[Yo_Yo]

I had my last in a birth centre-was a really positive experience. Doesn't feel clinical like a hospital l&d ward.

I would have another, but it's a bit far away-don't fancy giving birth on the way.

So sorry for your loss lovely.

Sounds like your in better care now

 

[bundlesofjoy]

I would like a home birth, it seems so much more relaxing, well as relaxing as childbirth can be! Haha
And as you said yo yo you get two midwives, who will stay with you thought the labour. In the hospital this is not guaranteed you might just have one midwife and they can come and go depending on their shift.
I don't think it's allowed with twins though so might have to have a hospital birth

Yay happy 5 weeks to you too!

I had no idea it was illegal in KY! I live 15 min north of Louisville in Indiana we aren't far from each other.
I really like my birth experience at my hospital in Indianapolis. It didn't feel like I was in a hospital at all. It was very nice it felt like a hotel. I was induced with DD and everything went very smooth and pretty quick. I had an epidural so I felt great. Smiling and laughing the whole time. I'm hoping for the same this time.
I will let you all know how my appt goes. I am leaving here soon.

 

[GingerPanda]

I used to drive though a piece of Indiana on my way to work in Cincinnati. Indianapolis is really nice. I spent two days walking around the Monument Circle area doing photography, and have lots of great pictures.
