No way would it be a good idea next week 6 kids + shopping = stress Think it will take at least a week for my body and bank account to recover anyhow. Just an idea, I liked that mothercare when I was pregnant with my others.

Daughter sat here writing her birthday list........more expense

Might get myself to bed in a bit, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[coral11680]

Oh yes def wait til after pay day and half term! its ryans birthday soon and mre expense! Always something isn't there? Did u mean get to bed myself?

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Ryans Birthday is near Jessica's isn't it? I meant I'm going to bed in a bit, but you should go soon also Its gonnnnnnnna be a loooooooooooooooong week, kids already starting to bicker (sp?)

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Is everyone else's kids off? know its different in other areas. I had a productive day after all, been given a cotbed, draws, wardrobe and a swinging crib via that 'friend' (think I'll let her off her bad behaviour now ) Its all mamas and papas, and in great condition. what a stroke of luck! Just gotta get some new mattresses and bobs my uncle he is actually.

Saw Lupine hop on earlier, hope she's ok? we also mentioned Lew today didn't we coral? hope everything was ok with her heath and stuff.

 

[coral11680]

Oh you lucky devil, what a result from that 'friend' sounds great that will save you a few bob. Oh and bob's my uncle too

 

[poppy666]

Yes my boys off college now for the week x

 

[poppy666]

I need to go doctors me, that flaming bad pain in my back near right ovary kicking in again wonder if ive a cyst or something that flares up near ovulation 'dunno'

Edited ok so cant be a cyst cos i dont get ab cramps lol 'i googled' i guess im just falling to bits and need a new body pmsl.. im soo tired gonna go bed

 

[pk2of8]

aw, sorry you're not feeling good poppy i have a splitting headache myself actually...pushing towards a migraine, so i'm hoping the kids won't stay up much longer.

why your kids out of school?? mine are out tomorrow for "president's day" but it's too early for spring break. they don't have that until end of march i think.

tink and coral, sorry the baby show didn't turn out to be too great, but i'm glad you got to have a nice time hanging out i hope lew is ok too...worried that we haven't heard from her since her appt.

dh and i talked more about ttc today. he's really turned a corner i think for good now. he was asking me about what we need to do medically to try to get our bfp and admitted that he would regret if he never has children of his own, so i think he won't be putting up any more fusses well, i guess i'll talk to you girls tomorrow!

 

[Hopes314]

tink and coral glad you guys had fun together even though the show was crap. nice to get out of the house sometimes

pk im happy to hear your OH is really into ttc now and realizes that he definitely wants to have kids of his own! Hopefully it won't take much to make that bfp happen now

mc has the spotting stopped yet? big lazy placenta


Thanks for all the well wishes for our anniversary. It really was an odd day.
Heres my long story/rant- feel free to skip it!

I felt the worst that I've felt in like.. my entire life I think. (maybe minus this one time i had pneumonia) lol. If it hadn't been our first wedding anniversary and also dh's grandpa just passing and the family being so down and all, (and me being a stubborn horrible patient) I think we would have headed for hospital. Not been keeping down my vitamins last 2 nights even with food, and not been keeping down much food or water. I went with SIL this morning to get some funeral attire and I had to sit down because I almost fainted. Went home and took a nap and felt a little better, but got up to get ready for dinner and could hardly stand or hold my head up I was feeling so tired and weak and nauseated. I decided we should just go to dinner and so of course I went looking like crap lol, figured I need to just get out there and eat some good food and drink some ginger ale and lots of water and try to help the situation. Got so sick on the way that we almost turned around and went to hospital, but we made it to dinner and it definitely helped to fill up my belly, even if it was just a lame salad Thought I was better but got even sicker on the way home, probably from just being in the car, and I went home and slept for like 5 hours. Woke up and ate more and took vitamins and drank lots more water ...and kept it down!! and am feeling better this morning. I feel a little guilty for not just going to hospital because it was really bad at a few points, and I felt like I wasn't in control of the situation at all. Day or two in hospital with ivs, good meds, and rest would have probably done a lot of good, but things have improved.. and the funeral is mon, tues, wed.. and DH is one of the people that carries the casket so he has to be there for it all, and I am not going to stay in hospital alone and I dont want the family to take their focus off the funeral or have any more to worry about. Anyway all is well now, sorry for the long story, I just feel really overwhelmed now. SIL says everything "is just a normal part of pregnancy" so I always feel like even when I think im dieing now, "its probably normal". I never know whats normal, always end up asking you guys

Anyway if it is this bad Monday(i guess technically today, although its only 3am here) I'm going to call in and see if drs want me to come in for nausea meds and blood/urine test.. or if they just want me to admit to hospital to get everything under control. Really want to avoid this at all costs.. but I'm starting to feel like I'm not taking care of .

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Morning everybody, DH dragged me off to bed last night, didn't get chance to say good night guess things are ok between us again

Pops, since how long have you had the pains? I was just thinking it could be the soy x

PK, we have half term holidays, don't know how it works out for the kids out there, but there's usually a week off in between terms, and this is it. Then they get two weeks off over Easter. Glad DH is 'playing ball'

Hopes, If I was you I would see the doctor. I know you didn't want to take anything, but in my opinion, the situation is such that you could potentially do yourself more harm than good trying to avoid medical intervention. I'm not telling you what to do, but continuing to struggle on, not being able to eat a healthy and hydrated diet could put you and the baby at risk of dehydration, mineral imbalances, nutritional deficiancy for both you and the baby. From your symptoms and knowing how the last few months have been for you, I suspect you are reaching a point where you could become very unwell. Whilst its true that the baby will take what it needs before you, if you also run out of stores it will eventually go without also.......sorry if that sounds harsh honey, but I really think you would tell me the same if it was you listening to whats happening to me, and I care I know you don't want to go into hospital, perhaps you could have some anti sickness meds, and rehydration drinks in the mean time to see if they help? x

Off for a bit to take my daughter for a show rehursal x

 

[coral11680]

Morning ladies,

Poppy have the pains subsided?

Hopes, I agree you need to see the doctor, you sound very unwell and it's not a normal part especially now you are 13+ weeks. hope you feel better.

Tink glad things are ok now between you and DH!

PK so happy DH is on board with everything! The holiday times are different in the UK kids get more time off during the year and only 6 weeks off over summer.

I'm off to get in the shower now. Need to get my butt in gear!

 

[mothercabbage]

:wave: all..hows things?
hopes...agreed! i think you should at least speak to mw or gp...even with chloes morning sickness it was all over by 12 weeks....dont want you all yukky and dehydrated

coral and tink...glad you girls had fun,thought the baby show would have been great, i read on here about it and they made it sound really good!

pk.. for dh finally getting his head into TTC...

poppy....hows things? hope that annoying pain goes soon..maybe a good egg on its way,i had cysts on both my overies at one point and they hurt like a bitch, had me bent double sometimes,the docs kept saying it was ibs or something at first as my pains were very widespread over my tummy area...not nice but they must have gone now, i get no pains and sonographer said on my last scan,overies normal..

asfm....not saying it too loudly but i feel good...SHhhh dont tell anyone,might tempt fate.. been into town and back already...very unlike me, usually camped on sofa until at least lunch time!anyway time for a snack before lunch...ive started my healthier eating regieme now, rather than biscuits and cakes for snacks i try to eat healthier options...going ok over the last few days,maybe thats why i feel "good" who knows, anyway FOOOOOOD time x

 

[caz & bob]

girls so cold today her rain and freezing been the gym x x x

 

[mothercabbage]

af arrived for tunde girls...

 

[coral11680]

on no poor Tunde hope she is ok

 

[pk2of8]

good morning lovelies

aw poor babyd that's so hard. well we're here for her even when she's away

hopes, it could be the stress and anxiety with your dh's granddad passing that's compounding your symptoms, but in any case, if you can't hold down fluids at the least, then you should phone your doc and ask for the anti-nausea meds. the fact that you held down water (i think you said??) this morning is great, so they probably won't say go to the hospital in that case. but it might not hurt to call and see what they say in general. i'm sorry it didn't make for a good anniversary dinner sweetie poor thing! my ms always got doubly worse when in the car! it was horrible, but i get motion sick normally anyway and have to be careful, so it was just magnified while i was preggo, and that continued through the whole pg.

tink, glad to hear you and dh are back on good terms again

mc, so glad you're feeling better sweetie! hope it stays that way for you!

morning coral and caz!

well, kids want to go to the beach today! so i think i'll oblige dh is at work tho, so he'll miss most of the day ugh i don't feel like shaving tho...i just shaved saturday, so maybe nobody will notice. Good grief! the things we have to do just to go to the beach.... it's still pretty windy and chilly at the beach, and the water is FREEZING, so i'm not planning on wearing a bathingsuit anyway. well, the doc office just called me to confirm my appt for tomorrow i'm so excited and i really pray the doc listens to me and gets things started. it's a whole new doctor, so we'll see....otherwise, nothing new to report here today. still spotting today...blah. so tired of af

 

[LEW32]

Hello Ladies! Sorry I haven't been on in a few days...didn't mean to worry anyone!

to all you- it was nice to realize I have such caring friends on here.

So, I had my doc appt last week....weight is up to 12 lbs- ugh! But blood pressure is fine and doc wrote me a script for a Gestation diabetes test. I got it done Saturday, so should have my results by Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crossed that it comes back normal.

I hope everyone is doing well!
Poppy- sounds like you are right on top of O and BDing right on time - FX for you sweetie!
Coral and tink- glad you had a good time at the show- so awesome you can shop for girly stuff together!
Hopes- I agree- go to the docs hun! I am so sorry you feeling so yucky...maybe they can do something to help you out.
Babyd- sorry your temps dropped hun- still keeping my FX for you.
MC- glad you are feeling better and hope the bleeding and sickness fecked off for good!

Is Ladyb alright? I saw your posts but didn't see back to hers....I am thinking about her

Pk- so jealous of your weather right now! Cannot wait for spring....glad to here you and DH on the same page with TTC

To all the other ding dongs, and !

 

[LEW32]

Oh no, just saw your post MC, poor babyd.... to you hun!!

 

[Regalpeas]

Hopes feel better honey. I am so sorry for your loss. I know it's a tough time for dh, you and family. Sedning prayers of comfort.

Pk I can feel you excitement through the screen. Can't wait to hear your updates about the visits

Poppy I hope you feel better. It might just be stronger ov pains that's it. I'm hoping it's a good sign.

Also (late, but) congrats to Korben. He's so gosh darn adorable .lol Let the exciting times begin! Lol


Mothercab! That's a nice looking lemon you got there. Glad you're feeling better. Alsob I can't wait to hear the sex of your baby.

Also, Coral and Phoebes nice bumps as well. Thanks for posting. Give me incentive.

Coral- your story about the baby name is sorta similar to something I went through but no where as offensive. That's just rude and shady. I had a special name I said I would always name a girl if I had it. My "best" friend got pregnant and names her baby the name. I asked her why she didn't it when she knew it has been my long term goal. She said "well you're not even pregnant yet. I'm using the name you'll just have to find another one." I couldn't believe it.

I was still going to use the name or a variation of it. Then I got over it. Hubby convinced that other names are just as good. Also we migh not have that sex anyway. But it was the principle. Why are people foul/ lame?

Sorry for babydream. I hope she's taking in ok.

 

[Regalpeas]

Also ladies has anyone used dollar store OPKs? If so do you recommend? Also what about internet cheapies. A good trusted vendor/link is appreciated.

Also has anyone or your OH/Dh tried Maca vits? Any comments?

I think that's it for now.
