SDBL i was just the same with the cramps but it all sounds good

unfortunately he is poorly too so no one wants to take him it does not seem to have knocked him like it has me i really hate being ill this poor baby must be getting shaken about no end with the amount of coughing im doing poor thing

 

[shawnie]

Silly question but has anyone leaked colostrum yet? I started yesterday and until I read up on it and spoke to a few of my mommy friends, it kinda freaked me out haha I know it's normal now but I just hadn't thought it would be so soon. My sister said she never leaked at all like that.

 

[shawnie]

DMN are you aloud to have some sort of tea with honey? I know i've been told to watch my sugar but that always helped me with coughing without taking meds.

 

[dmn1156]

Hi shawnie yes i have been leaking a lot lately lol forgot to mention that bit il give anything a go and that sounds a good one i actually went into the pharmacy and she gave me a medicine as she said it sounded quite bad she gave me a linctus with guaifenesin in it which should hopefully ease the phlegm on my chest how are you doing today

 

[shawnie]

I guess some don't talk much about things like that a? I tend to be a bit graphic and talk about everything and anything. I'm being more mellow though in order not to gross my friends out haha....Im not sure what linctus with guaifenesin is but sounds good if it works =)

I'm doing well. I woke way early again though. Kinda getting normal for me now. My sister loves it since she gets to talk to me for about an hour to pass the time away at work before her 1st break lol My sister said she had forgot she had a doppler but she's not sure where it's at. Hope she finds it. Would love to give it a try and see if it works.

Hey ladies.... just checkin in.....

Leaky boobs already.... okay, I guess I know what to look forward to in a month or so..... LOL...

DMN - Hope you are feeling a little bit better...
Shawnie - Happy to hear you are producing already too.... boobies are getting ready for the babes to come out... soooooooo exciting... LOL

Has Rebecca been on lately... Hope she is feeling better than last week...

SDBL - cramps are good... that means that your uterus is growing... I told the dr yesterday about all of the sharp pains and cramps I got, one day when I ran for the phone... She said they were your uterus growing and its completely normal

Hows Wannabe and GrumpyGal and anyone else I missed.... Hope everyone is doing well...

Me just eating lunch and getting excited about fridays ultrasound... sooooooo excited... We are telling the grandparents and the rest of the family on Thanksgiving Holiday next week... i cant wait to tell them, they are going to be shocked!!! fun fun stuff coming up...

 

[dmn1156]

i'l talk about anything lol i just thought it was a little early but i did a search and no right on cue apparently i noticed it because tmi sorry but it dries up and then breaks down and irritates and itches in you bra lol and it is an expectorant it is the first time i have been able to breathe in 5 days so im hoping another few days and i can kick this thing in the butt and send it packing for good

 

[dmn1156]

melsue im so glad you get your scan on friday it is so nice to see lo glad your feeling better too

not seen rebecca or wannabe on for a little while now hope there both ok

 

[Melsue129]

Thanks DMN... I hope they are doing okay too... Feel better chicky!!

 

[dmn1156]

a little better the coughing has been the worse and as im asthmatic too it has been bad doctor gave me a simple cough linctus which did nothing so i went to the chemist today and explained my situation and said im not suffering any longer than i have to and she gave me something safe but a little stronger to relieve the phlegm that has built up on my chest so im hoping il start to feel a little better in the next few days or so

 

[SDBL23]

DMN: You sound like a mess!! I"m so sorry that your sick. You might try sitting in the bathroom with the shower running maybe take your little boy in there and play a game, the steam might help your chest a little bit. Hoping that you will get better soon!

Melsue: How exciting to tell everyone!! We're just about bursting at the seams not telling anyone, we didn't feel that it would be super appropriate to just blurt it out at the funeral this weekend and also just want to wait to tell our parents only untill after the first scan. We will wait until I'm out of the first trimester to tell anyone else.

Shawnie: Congrats on the colostrum!! At work we call it liquid gold! thats the good stuff, baby will love it!

AFM: just peeing away, I havent really been cramping since sunday. The past two nights I have stirred awake a little and noticed some cramping, there is nothing that I can do at this point that will change anything, so I am being positive, eating right and drinking my fluids. We'll just count down the days untill my appt.

 

[dmn1156]

SDBL thank you im prepared to try anything at this stage had a relatively goodnight in regards of did not spend all night coughing i definitely think it was flu as it really knocked me out and still dont have the energy to do what i need to the runny and blocked nose is on its way out just the cough and sore throat lingering at the moment
How you feeling the peeing will ease up soon hopefully it is a pain at night lol especially when it is getting a bit chilly and you really dont want to get out of bed lol

How is everyone else doing today

 

[ginger863]

Hey ladies,

How is everyone. I havent really been on here much recently, hubby said i was addicted and freaking myself out with things that could go wrong. We had our 12 week scan on monday though and everything is fine so i'm allowed to play again lol!
dmn - sorry to hear you've been so poorly, i really hope you're feeling better soon. I'm shattered all the time at the moment so cant imagine waht it must be like to be so ill on top of that.

Cant believe some of you have leaky boobs already, i had no idea it could happen this early. I guess i wont be freaked out now if it happens to me.

Hope everyone is doing well today x

 

[dmn1156]

Hey ginger welcome back so glad your scan went well it is great seeing everything is going ok. So how you feeling at the moment
Yes you can get leaky boobs from around 14 weeks onwards lol so keep your eyes peeled

feeling ill on top of pregnancy is cetainly taking it toll on me at the moment i was so looking forward to feeling better and enjoying this bit that i kind of feel cheated at the moment as i cant enjoy the flutters as im coughing so much i dont feel much of them and im just hating being so ill

 

[Melsue129]

DMN hoping you are feeling a little bit better today....
SDBL soooo excited to tell the family.. We had such a horrible time trying to keep it a secret, we told our moms and now we are going to tell the rest of the family... Hoping its going to be a great thanksgiving.....
Ginger, welcome back... Glad to hear your babes is doing well, Im up for my 12 week scan on Friday, soooooooo excited to go and see the babes looking like a babes instead of a white blob... LOL... I just cant wait for these days to go by... It must feel like this when you are around your due date or overdue, the anticipation is going to be soooo hard.... Eeekkk....

Well me - Im doing okay, dont feel soooo sick anymore but I do have my moments.... blah..... Been crampy just on my left side, thru the night and this morning... but all in all Im okay right now.

I hope everyone else is doing okay, we need updates ladies!!!!

 

[dmn1156]

The cramping you get right through i think as you body is stretching and accomodating its own little resident im glad your doing ok tho

im still under the waether mainly the cough it is really doing my head in now and some sticky beak decided to tell me it will last my whole pregnancy i certainly hope not as everytime i cough im nearly sick hope

 

[shawnie]

i'l talk about anything lol i just thought it was a little early but i did a search and no right on cue apparently i noticed it because tmi sorry but it dries up and then breaks down and irritates and itches in you bra lol and it is an expectorant it is the first time i have been able to breathe in 5 days so im hoping another few days and i can kick this thing in the butt and send it packing for good

It started at week 15w1d for me, ill be 16w on Friday. mine wasn't irritating me like itching, it was almost like growing pains, tingeling sensation that I feel the need to put pressure on to stop it. Id get that feeling right before my AF... It came out looking like CM, clear strings with no smell.. After it did it's thing I didn't have tingeling anymore just real sore nipples lol I was told not to stimulate them cuz It could cause contractions, not hat it will but possible it could. DP isn't gonna like that LMAO

I hope your cold goes away for good soon lady...

 

[dmn1156]

so do i shawnie it is really driving me nuts and now that women has got me thinking that il have the cough part my whole pregnancy and that is the worst part it nearly makes me sick why cant people just not say anything lol im sure it will go it came with the flu and hopefully it will leave with it too lol

how you doing today

We'll just count down the days untill my appt.

When I went looking online about it that's what I found but in animals (liq gold) They were saying it has so many healing components and all that in it. I guess I could start learning up on the whole breast feeding.. I figured ill learn it when i got closer to the due date, guess it's never too early to learn right?

I get cramping off and on. Mostly in the mornings when I have to use the restroom or when I move too fast from one position to another. When is your appointment?

 

[shawnie]

awww dmn, im sure it is from the cold and will go away. In all my schooling and experience you cough for a reason not just because.. (cause n affect =) ) I am used to coughing.. I was a bad bad bad smoker so I always coughed. I haven't coughed as much though now which is actually nice.. As I cough now hahaha dang it....

I have been getting told all sorts of things from people and I pretty much take what I want and leave the rest. You can never get too much info IMO, right?...The way I see it is that every doc has their own way of doing things so they tell the patients they care for what is ok and whats not.. Not to say any one way is wrong or right that's just what they do. So others are going to have what they were told to say that might be a little different. It's all good..
