Due, a cold sugary (fizzy?) drink should do it x

 

[hb1]

Just a quick question - what has ms been like for you? I just want to guage if what i'm feeling is mild ms - I get waves of queasiness - accompanied by gagging - not all the time just at random times thru the day - does this sound like mild ms - am not throwing up tho?

Any advice appreciated

EXACTLY what I had. I found myself coughing hard and therefore retching, but no actual sickness. Most people find that eating beats off their MS... I felt sick after eating instead (usually because I ate too much at lunch )

I still get the odd cough-retch in the mornings now but not too bad. We are lucky with our MS, you and I (hugs to poor Triple, we won't gloat )

 

[TripleB]

I still haven't been sick (thank god, I'm not a good patient) but the nausea is constant now and the eating only staves it off for half an hour. I'm not complaining though because I'm sure actual sickness is worse and I'm glad to have something I didn't have last time. I have a question about bloatedness though... I have been eating a lot but my bloated tummy is just madness. I feel 20 weeks pregnant and it's hard like water retention. Any experiences? I hope this goes because I just look like I've eaten too many pies!

Haha Hannah, it must have sounded like I had a fight with my MIL! I'm actually one of those lucky ones with a fab MIL and can't wait to make her a grandma.

Sorry to hear about these sore backs ladies, I can imagine the heat isn't helping.

Due, you need to give that naughty baby a good talking to for your scan! They say that classical music soothes a baby in the womb so maybe try listening to some heavy metal before your appointment!

hb1, that's what i had for ms... that and i couldn't eat meat or even look at it without feeling sick but i never threw up. thank goodness!!

tripleB, i get bloated if i eat really salty or greasy foods mostly. or beans, too i guess.

 

[hb1]

I had baked beans on my baked potato for lunch - might steer clear of them tomorrow! xxx

I was MASSIVELY bloated and it never really reduced but its starting to turn to bump now. I'm lucky in that my body has a good (tmi) clearout every morning without fail so I don't have to panic that I'm backing up
But yeah I felt 5 months gone from the start... Mind you I'm bigger now LOL. As long as you keep everything moving with fluids and fibre there's nt really a lot you can do. Already your insides are moving up and rearranging themselves

 

[TripleB]

Hmmmm, haven't been that regular the last few weeks, despite lots of water and porridge for brekkie (usually my recipe for a daily constitutional!). That could explain the bloat I suppose. I like the fact my insides are rearranging themselves though, strange but true! xxx

 

[hannah76]

tripleB, just make sure you're not going more than 3 days without a BM... that's what my nurse said. i forgot that as a cause of bloating. i try and eat fibre (raw fruits and veg, whole grains) but sometimes have to resort to benefibre or metamucil.

Lol i might just try that, along with a ice cold drink which isnt to bad in this weather only 2 days to go how is everyone else doing?

 

[hannah76]

i'm tiiiired!! as i mentionned, my allergies are terrible and i can only take benadryl, which has knocked me on my butt this morning... boo hoo! but i gotta remember its all for the little one who i am soooo excited to meet in a few short months

how's everyone else doing?

due - so fun that you have another scan in 2 days!!

 

[magnolia09]

I had some bright red blood when I wiped one time last night. Freaked me out quite a bit, but it wasn't much and that seemed to be it. Haven't seen any blood since. We spent all day Sunday in the hot sun, walking a lot at my sister-in-law's college graduation, so I'm hoping it was just my body telling me to slow down. Plan on staying on the couch most of the day today and drinking lots of water.

We have 2 weeks until our next ultrasound and it seems like forever...

How's everyone else feeling?

Have you tried using a neti pot? It seems really awkward to me, but I have a friend with really bad allergies who SWEARS by it!

I had this 3 times in early pregnancy and it really worried me, however mine was actually on my pantiliner. I was told its normally late implantation bleeding epeically if its when you wipe, if you had no pain etc, i really wouldnt worry espeically if you had done alot that day to

I just had a tiny bit more a few minutes ago, but it looker more brown today than last night. I don't have any cramping which I know is good, so I feel positive, but with my history there's always that thought in the back of my head. If it's still happening tomorrow or if it gets heavier I'll put a call into the doctor.

 

[MadamRose]

Yes i would say if its brown though thats a good sign as they say brown is old blood, and thats what my doc told me. if you still have more tomorrow ring doctor and see if they can do qualative hCG's to put your mind at rest, they did this for me before i could have a scan and it really helped

 

[hannah76]

magnolia, i hope the blood is nothing and that the 2 weeks until your scan comes quickly!

i havent' tried the neti pot, but other nose sprays. they do work, but the problem is that i get very itchy eyes and a cough with my allergies too... so its more than just a nose thing next time i'm taking a non-drowsy anti-histamine though! that was just too tired to function...

 

[hb1]

Magnolia - really hope all is well in there

[MadamRose]
