Great news babyfeva!

Sorry to hear about your MS skinnymrs. I hope it gets better for you soon.

Interesting development for me today.. Came home to a letter from the hospital, telling me I have an appointment on Wednesday afternoon for a scan and then an appointment with a midwife straight after! Not sure how that's randomly happened, but I will have to try and move my private scan now.

 

[jmandrews]

So sorry MS has caught up with you. I love reading everyone's tips. If those don't work ask your Dr. about zofran. My sis had to take it and it worked great. Also try to eat high protein meals. Hope you feel better.

I'm from Indianapolis so I have to cheer on Peyton manning and the Broncos for the SuperBowl! Haha although I do love the Seahawks colors.

I'm just feel super tired. We had company all weekend so I am whipped. Other than that I feel pretty good and often forget I'm pregnant. I wonder if MS or anything will kick in this time.

Happy Sunday everyone!

 

[babyfeva]

I didn't feel any MS with my son and so far not with this pregnancy. I do notice that if I eat too much that my tummy kind of feels bleh. Sorry I can't offer any advice but the other ladies suggestions seem good. I really hope you feel better Skinnymrs!

Grich - yep it sure does!! Lol

skinny - someone else beat me to it but I suck on lemons too! And sometimes if the lemon is warm it doesnt help much so I pop them in the fridge. I also fill a glass with ice and then squeeze lemon juice (no water) into it and sip that. I was plagued with nausea till 34 weeks last time and lemon and ice were the only things that helped me. It's was the cold and sour combo that did it.

jmandrews - I forgot to ask are you and your sister id or frat?

I dont feel much today, still waiting for nausea to kick in proper so I can get it over with! Atm its very all over the place and not that bad.
I have been getting lightheaded a lot though and have had to bend over a few times to stop myself from passing out :/ never had that before.

We are identical I DD thinks my sis is Mommy. She is so confused haha but my niece who is 12 months can tell us apart. I think DD would figure it out if we lived closer. DD won't come to me sometimes because she is convinced my sis is mommy. Funny little girl.

 

[zephyr]

Oh that is really cool! Yeah I was going to ask if your daughter ever got you two confused

 

[CharlieKeys]

Skinny, Suck on lemons or put them in your water. Just the smell of something sour will help. Also I find when I got MS before I would have a nasty taste and lump in my throat that I found only sparkling water would take care of the bubbles helped my tummy too.

No symptoms today yet either. Got a bunch of pink last night after DTD. In 4 other pregnancies that hasn't happened. Ive had previa before, so Im a bit scared to DTD again until after I see the doc again. I know a bit of red is normal.

It's SUPERBOWL sunday!!!! I'm from Seattle, so I am screaming for my Hawks today. On the plus side my MS hasnt kicked in yet, so I get to eat and have a good time. Just no beer lol

How is everyone else today?

Was just going to ask if that was normal!!! We just dtd, went to the toilet and there was really faint pink on the tissue!

 

[lesbianmommys]

I'm happy to join this thread too. I'm 5 wks today, due Oct 5th with our first baby. We are VERY excited but also very anxious. We have a prenatal appt in two weeks and our first US scheduled for week 12. My symptoms have been early onset and pretty prominent; we are hoping maybe twins?! Headaches, heightened smell, exhaustion, increased appetite all starting around 10 DPO and nausea starting week 4. Anyone have thoughts regarding multiples? Just curious.

 

[HGsurvivor05]

Hey girls. Can anyone offer and help on nausea apart from Ginger. Yesterday and today have been sheer and utter hell I am green all day and cannot put a bite past my lips

6 wks today I bet this is the start of it

I am so sorry you are going through this. I suffered Hyperemesis which is severe morning sickness. If you are feeling really bad visit your doctor and get them to test keytones etc make sure you are not to dehydrated. I was encouraged to drink lucozade or full fat coke etc if I could also souk on ice cubes. It was horrendous and hope things improve for you, also please rest! don't feel like you are being lazy ect but the more I tried to move about the worse it became. I think in the states you get lollypops, i will try find them again on Amazon, never tried them there is also a ice pop. I found out last week we are expecting number 2 after 8 years I am currently stocking up on pro-cations. I know of a lot of ladies in the states who take unisom (not the gel tabs, if that make sense) and B6 (thorne B complex) at night which seemenly helps. We don't get unisom in UK but got some shipped in but please do some research as these are just suggestions I have got from HG support page. There is good website in UK pregnancy sickness support which has good info. There are treatments out there but our medical provision I feel failed me and made be suffer and by time they did prescribe meds (around 20wks) it was too late as my body couldn't take anything even after being admitted at 5wks then in and out they still wouldn't diagnose HG till then. Thats why I am going in to dr on Tuesday and hopefully it wont have started by then! enjoying each day as it comes at the moment.

Hope this hasn't scared you as I am sure you will improve but take it easy and sip its amazing how your body protects your growing baby

skinnymrs

They are called preggie pops

Also lillipops x

 

[zephyr]

Preggy pops!! I heard of them but never got round to trying them are they good??

I am having cramps again today I dont know why they are so bad this time round I freak out every time expecting to lose it but it all goes away. Gahh I dont know why pregnancy has to so stressful from the get go!

lesibianmommys - only an ultrasound can tell if its twins!! I had heightened symptoms with mine and a gut feeling I was having twins but was still shocked at the scan because I didnt think itd actually happen. Is this your 1st? Good luck with your scan.

I cant believe how many people have a good chance of having multiples in this thread!!
The thread I was in when I had my twins no one spoke of twins beforehand so this is really exciting I cant wait to see who is!!

 

[kittylady]

I feel less ill then I did last time so I'm not expecting twins lol but good luck to everyone who thinks they might be

I have been really crampy these few weeks but I vaguely remember it being like this before.

 

[whigfield]

Woke up after 2 horrible nightmares - one where I miscarried, and one where a nest of spiders exploded in our bed!

 

[zebadi]

oh whigfield - i know exactly what you mean! i dreamt i went to the toilet and there was blood every where!!! its our minds working overtime.

how are we all doing today? I have terrable sickness all weekend and today.
I'm 5weeks 6 days today

 

[whigfield]

Re-found a website I stalked a lot when I was pregnant last time - it has (supposedly??) real footage of babies inside the womb starting at 6 weeks (they call it '4 weeks' as they move from conception). Very interesting to watch!

That sounds horrible honey.

It's definitely a thing that effects your sleep and dreams-apparently I meowed really loud in my sleep and woke my poor hubby up!
What the ?!! Meow?!!

 

[whigfield]

A meow?? That's hilarious!

 

[zebadi]

yo-yo lmao! thats really funny!!

Aww your scan isn't far away-how exciting! It's great seeing the little baby on it

Get well soon

well ladies i had my first scan this morning i am only measuring at 5 weeks i thought i was 5+5 the re thought i was 5+3 but she said i am still within normal ranges. shell probably have me back in a couple days so they can look again for a fetal pole and yolk sac. i was too early to see that today. but there is def only one sac and it is in my uterus so thats a start.
