kimini sweetheart - hopin this new dr and new scnner gives you the good pretty scan pic you derserve - tbh im not gonna tell u to give up the smoking - my mum smooked with me, bro and sis, and we all are fine - no breathing problems, the stress of trying to quit may well do u worse at this time, IF you can, cut down , but know im sending you love :hugs:
 
Kimini, my mum smoked with me too and i turned out ok (i think!). Don't stress, just avoid smoking like a chimney and look after yourself. :hugs: Concentrate on the good you are doing and don't dwell on the bad - eat lots of fruit and veg, go for a nice walk etc and keep up your amazing PMA. :thumbup:

I had a nose bleed last night, my frst since i was a small child. Did anyone know they are a common symptom?? To do with your blood flow increasing... Freaked me out a little anyway. I have always had really low BP so am pleased something (or rather someone) is speeding it up :haha: Had an app with the Doc anyway today for my jab and she checked my BP and it was 'perfect' - the only thing about me that is :rofl:

Hope all you ladies are well today and enjoying any of the good/bad symptoms you are getting.

Love,

M X
 
Yes I knew they could be a common symptom of pregnancy and can get worse as pregnancy goes on. Have you read Myleene's pregnancy diary? She got them and one of my colleagues at work, his wife wakes up in the night with them! Frightening stuff!
 
I've recently bought some lovely White Company bedding so last night i covered it with an old blanket just in case it started again :haha: Is her diary worth a read then? I do like her.

Do you think i should drag out some old bedding?? I am sooo turning into Mrs Bucket!! :rofl:

What else is mother nature gonna chuck at us?!!
 
On the smoking front I'm not going to preach to people as we all have common sense, and know there are lots of debate over different aspects of things we should or should not do in pregnancy - I'm just sharing my experience.

I smoked at least 10 day before I got my first BFP. I gave up as soon as I found out - I had always said that I would stop when I was pregnant - no matter how hard it was and I did. To be honest the nicotine withdrawal was not as bad as I thought bearing in mind that I had smoked for over 10 years.

Anyway after my loss the smoking started again due to stress and upset and continued until I got my new BFP. Again I have stopped straight away - guilt would not let me touch a cigarette. This is me - obviously some people find it more difficult that others but I have NEVER been able to give up before.

I know people who have smoked throughout their pregnancies and they have had healthy babies, but I also know that they tell you to stop for a reason. It's a hard one and comes down to personal choice really. Much like alcohol consumption in pregnancy, using sunbeds, eating certain things etc. We are not perfect and we all have flaws - so long as we can say we are honestly doing our best then that, to me is what matters.

Ha ha I know! Her book is defo worth a read hun - I really enjoyed it. It has bits from her partners point of view too like whe her hormones are raging she says she throws a full bin bag at him in the kitchen and he is calling her a witch!! It is very funny and realistic and not one of these sugary perfect celeb mum accounts. Its called 'my bump and me' - think you can get it n paperback now - i got mine for 99p off ebay xxx
 
Ah you girls are so sweet, I don't feel as bad, but I'm still gonna try to cut back a little every day and I'm not smoking before my scan on Monday (I'll be at work until then and have to leave and come back lol).
 
Thats the best things to do Kimi, Just try and cut back a little each day! xxx
 
what wonderful support from the bonfire ladies today! it warms my heart that we can be such supports to eachother from all over the world... :hugs: to all of you!! and kim, i think you're doing your best in a rough rough situation... all in due time honey! take care of yourself and cut yourself some slack... you're in a stressful time and i hope you can treat yourself extra nice this long weekend. :hugs:

i am so emotional still today! i cried watching oprah today and that is SO not like me... i've cried at lots of commercials and sappy stuff, then the next minute i'm fighting back from screaming at people in a rage... no nausea today though. i'm trying not to freak out about that. trying really hard!! ladies, i hope i am nauseated tomorrow or imma lose it!
 
We watched The Blind Side last night and I cried. It was such a good movie. I've upped my metformin to 1500 mg, which is considered a therapeutic dose. I'm just trying to make it to Monday. I'm truly grateful that I was able to see my baby's heart beat this time around and very glad I made it this far.

Yep! That's me! :hugs:

I feel like crap today! I'm not sick... but I'm SO tired... and achy! The more I move around, the worse I feel! I like this! :)
 
We all wanted symptoms, right? Well, I have a new one... and this is all I have to say!

Screw Ocular Migraines! Just experienced one (still in it actually), and then found what its called! It BLOWS! Horizontal lines, blurred vision, headache, and unable to focus my vision!

Here's an article: https://www.thehealthguide.org/migraine/ocular-migraine-pregnancy-a-bizarre-case-indeed/

P.S. It will probably keep happening, it will probably happen in subsequent pregnancies, it will probably get worse, and there is NO fix for it! Great!
 
I get those megg but I get them in times of stress. At my worst I was having up to 15 a day!!! Was awful. Got sent to hospital to check me out at first and that's when they made the diagnoses. It was bad as mine would make me feel incrediby sick. Honestly they are stress or diet related!! I've not had one so far in pregnancy (although there's still time!) lol xxxx
