*** Positive Mental Attitude TTC - Anyone joining us? ***

[mommylov]

Hope the combo helps your pain! I think Laura's advice regarding wearing support would def help you too! Sending ***healing*** vibes to you!

Oh, and I have to give you and Lilesmom and HUGE hug and thanks for suggesting meditation. Smiler, the "Kathy Freston - Visualizing Pregnancy" track you suggestd, amazing ! Even if I dont fall pregnant, it has gotten me to fall asleep much easier. I listened to it every night after bd. We bd and I put on my headphones and layed there and while his little swimmers were swiming, I put myself in a happy place with the meditation.

 

[lilesMom]

amy glad ur mediation is nice, i love mine too, i get the best sleep after
smiler says u got a temp rise, woohoo, common sticky bean xxxxxxx

i dont have uti , must be bub lying on bladdar

hi and hugs to all xxxx

 

[mommylov]

So glad its bub and not UTI heheh silly bub!

Yes, LOVE meditation. Im off from work. DH is playing softball tonight so I get a night off from cooking.

 

[lilesMom]

but very glad no antibs nasty things

what wil u have for urself if ur not cooking?

i get restless legs sometimes at nt and am jumpy and cant sleep. about a min into meditation it subsides and i nod off fast i cant stay awake for the cd at all anymore

 

[Smiler82]

Oh yay I'm so pleased to hear the meditation is helping Mommylov I was exactly the same, helped me to sleep much better. I also really think it helped me to stay more positive as I can be a bit of a negative nelly Really worth the money IMO. So pleased you like it

That's good news you don't have a UTI lilesmom FX baby moves up soon! Tee hee well washing without powder is better for the environment ... not great for your cleanliness though haha

Oh ladies I have to have a real whinge about my back!! It is SO painful. Last night it honestly took me a full ten minutes to get off the sofa, I was in tears with it. Then getting into bed hurt, changing position in bed hurt, getting up this morning hurt, getting showered, dressed etc...it's ridiculous. I'm hobbling around a like a 90 year old. Once I'm out the house and on a long walk it settles down, but daily tasks are very hard at the mo I am going to speak to the doc about it, but I know I won't get an appt for at least a week. I'm sat here with a hot water bottle and it is nice, but the jarring, bone pain is always there when I move. So unless I plan on sitting stock-still for the next five months I'm not sure what I'm going to do! I'm a bit scared that as bump grows, it'll just get worse I'm going to try a swiss ball to help build my core muscles as I'm finding I can't manage to do the exercises the chiropractor gave me

Self-pitying rant over!!! Sorry

 

[lilesMom]

oh msiler hugs hon, ive had back pain for over yrs and when its at its worst, it really is the pits, feels like u will never be ebtter again . keep in mind that it will get better. xxxxxx
do u sit al lot , u work from home dont u?
get up every 30 mins or so and do light stretches, really light,
like standing reach ur arm over head to one side, then other side, stretch out ur arms, rotate ur hips , nothing major just to put movement back into u xxx
its the last thing u feel like doin but it helps so much after a few days,
staying in one position is the worst for ur back xxxxxxx
id say go for physio rather then chiro, ive been to both nad physio has helped me more . sometimes chiro can be too agressive when back is bad .
after physio il have 2 worse days , followed by 3 or more good weeks, xx
so worth it .
hoep it eases for u soon hon, def keep up the heat and mediation.xx
my doc had told me my mind has a great affect on my back, i was so cross thinking i was being fobbed off with real pain. but in a way he was right, the problem was physical with muscles and stuff but i was making it worse by being tense all the time and expectin it to get worse. the aim is to relax ur muscles in any way u can.
go to the pool too hon, maybe dont even realy swim much but float and let water relax u x
im nt trying to tell u what to do, but i feel ur pain and the above stuff helped me xxxx
hoep ur better soon sweetie xxx


how is everyone today xxxxx
hi and hugs.
lots of people are gone quiet here how r ye?

 

[lilesMom]

oh and smiler ive made my peace with the no washing powder etc
i just use lots of deo and wash me often hope deodirant never has to go on my forbidden list

 

[Smiler82]

Thanks so much Lilesmom The advice is really helpful. Yeah I am sat at my desk for hours every day. I know I should get up but once I'm settled I feel like I don't want to rock the boat! But I know it's bad for me to stay still. I will do the stretches you recommend! I think you're right about the mindset. I said to DH the other day I was tensing up in anticipation of the pain, which only makes it worse. The times I take a deep breath, breathe out slowly and calm myself down I can manage the pain better. Another reason to try hypnobirthing!!

 

[babybemine]

When do you all start bding? Been busy with fixing up the house. Tired.....want to maximize my time.

 

[mommylov]

I would start BDing everyother day starting now and then everyday for three days once you get a +opk

 

[mommylov]

Smiler, I think that your dr should maybe take you out of work for a bit to see if it helps your back. You def cant go through your whole pregnancy like that. I really hope you feel better soon doll

Laura, how are you doing? Hope you got some rest last night. Still cleaning? lol

:wave: to everyone and daily and PMA to you all!!!!

 

[lilesMom]

hi guys

smiler hope ur feeling a bit better hon. xxxxx hugs xxxxxx
i know what u mean about staying put and not rocking the boat, it feels like it doesnt hurt til u move but it hurts more cos u dont move, catch 22 xxx

babybemine i second mommylov, i d start every second day from 8 or 9 dpo and then day before i think Ov, day of Ov and day after, then back to every second day for little bit just in case my own version of Smep, that def works, worked twice for me fast day 12 seems to be my magic day, but obvs everyone is different
best o luck and happy BDing

Amy , how u doin hon, u seem better xxxxxxxxxxxx

[mommylov]

Laura, I'm so sorry today is such a hard day for you mothered day isn't until may here in the US but I think I'm gong to feel the same way. Last year I gave dh a fathes day card saying how its the last year he will have before holding his child next year and that's not going to happen. I know you miss lile and I know she is looking down giving her mommy big hugs. I hope you are able to enjoy this day with your oh and bubd and angel babe xoxoxo

 

[Smiler82]

Oh lilesmom I know how you feel xxx it's ok to be sad for Lile. It is something you will always live with and never forget. I thought similar things today too, this is our third child. We have been a mum and dad twice already and it's hard. It's ok to cry and to be down, we'll always be sad for our lost little ones xxx

 

[lilesMom]
