feeling ill.

[foxymum]

hiya girlies, been feeling rough & not myself all weekend, can't quite point my finger on exactly how i feel though, it started by me feeling really restless & not being able to sit still for more than 5 mins at a time, not being able to get comfy where ever i am, ie bed, sofa etc.

today though earlier, i came over really hot, feeling sick & a bit shaky, i said to dh if i was 8 wks further on i would be convinced that LO was on her/his way!!!

normally am feeling great so don't want to feel rough, only worry coz of being pregnant, every minor thing we feel we convince ourselves it must be the baby, when probably it is nothing to do with our LO's!!

any advice??? thanks.

hope you feel better soon
i get terrible restless legs at times and i hate it! do you think thats what you get?

 

[foxymum]

thanks budge.

it might be forgot to say also that any time in the night that i move either leg i can feel cramp coming on, & have to quickly relax leg so it goes away!

i suffered with leg cramps badly with my son & the next day my leg would be sore all day.

how are you doing?

 

[budge]

same as you. i get terrible leg cramps in the night too. I hate it and end up sometimes crying out in the night its so painful!

This is my 4th pregnancy and its been the most uncomfortable one ive had! I never had th ailments ive had this time round!

 

[foxymum]

can't wait though.

hi foxymum

have you had your iron levels checked, the restless thing could be low iron.

I have decided i am going home. I so dont feel well enough to work. I am totally exhausted and feel really light headed and sick. Not sure if i should bother calling M/W or not. What do you think? My mum is also a bit concerned that i am holding too much water I look like a big baloon

 

[Alfiesmummy]

i hope you are feeling better, thats the bad thing isnt it you just feel sick and you dont no why! well i hope your ok darl, take care. x

 

[sarahj]

hope you all feeling better!!!! the leg cramp thing sucks big time! i keep on stretching in the night and i can feel my legs go all tight it is sooooooo uncomfy. this is my third baby and like some of you i to am feeling all the ailements this time. i have days when i feel sick and shakey aswell and i also have to get up really early to get kids to school etc but two things can make that sicky shakey thing go away. start going to bed early and make sure you are all eating well!!!!! im sure it is just due to the later stages of pregnancy taking its strain. so take it easy and eat and sleep!!! imwar how much longer you got at work? i admire anyone who is still working as it would kill me to be working now!

take care all
