Feeling really fed up an run down

[Kelly G]

Sorry just a bit of a moan really.

I feel so ill at the minute, i have the flu, and constantly ache from head to toe Im finding the sickness really hard at the minute as im throwing up all morning untill lunch cant keep anything down and then for the past couple of days i have been throwing up between 3pm and 7pm. This means i cant keep my dinner or anything i drink.

Not sure if the trowing up is part od this flu thing as it has only started since i have had it (i really hope so) i just feel so run down, i have no energy to play with Olivia and i just constantly feel like crying.

DH cant take any time off work as they are funny about it and my mum is away on hol so cant take Olivia for a couple of hours so im pretty much stuck really till DH comes home from work

To top it all off i have my 1st scan on thursday and if im feeling like this i dnt think i will be able to go.

I know this is a long shot but does anyone know anything i can take other than parcetamol (sp?) e.g lemsips or something.

Sorry for the moan

oh hun it must be really hard however i don't thinkthere is anything other than parrys you can take although you could ring your midwife and ask her/him or your doctor? and have plenty of rest you should try to get to your scan otherwise you could be waiting for ages for another scan

 

[Kelly G]

awww tnx hn, i didnt think there would be anything in could take

I probably will make it to my scan, like you say i could be aiting ages for another one if i dnt. its just the thought of sitting there for 2 hours while im throwing up and feeling poo makes me not want to go at all if u know what i mean

tnx for ur reply, i gotta go out at some point today so im gonna pop into the pharmacy an ask them, if not it hot lemonade an parry for me an hope i can sweat this out of me

 

[Anna23]

ohhh get some lemon and honney and put it with hot water it helps

Oh poor you have one of these

Ive got a stinking cold at the mo too, not as bad as you but it takes it out of you doesnt it xxxx

Honey/lemon hot drink all the time should help, keep your fluids up too, very important, and eat large juicy oranges, hubby swears by them to clear a cold up quickly. xxxx

I have my scan thurs too-will be thinking of you x

Oh Kels, hunny, its sounds dreadful, im really thinking of you!!!

How much are you managing to keep down? If its getting really bad, perhaps you should go and see you doctor, he might me able to help? Give you something to help keep things down?

Flu is horrible at the best of times let alone in the first few weeks of pregnancy.

I really hope you start to feel better soon, its no fun when you have a little one to look after is it

I cant really keep anything down in a morning but thats been happening a while now. I can usually manage a small amount at lunch before i start to feel sick which is something but since sunday (since this flu started) i have been throwing up between 3-8. I cooked a lovely sunday dinner for when hubby got home from work an i knew when i started eating it i knew it wasnt going to stay down. Then last night i didnt even atempt to eat dinner as i was throwing up from 3pm the slightest thing that passed my lips came up even water. It was 8ish by the time i started to feel ok again

Im really hoping this afternoon/evening sicness thing is just due to this flu cos i cant cope with anymore throwing up, im only just kearning to cope with the morning sickness.

Olivia has just gone down for a nap for the first time in ages so im gonna go off an have a sandwich now and have a lay down for a bit. And hope i can eat my dinner tonight as im having scampi and i love that at the minute.

Oh and tnx for all teh advice girls, im gonna try the honey and lemon my FIL had suggested that too

Well if it gets worse Kels id defo go see your GP, at least your keeping lunch and fluid down thats the most important thing. Hopefully when this flu passes you will be on the mend!!!

Lots of love

aww tnx jaidy your so lovely!

Well yesterday afternoon i didnt feel too bad and i managed to eat my dinner and keep it down last night Still not sleeping to well as im waking up bunged up or feeling sick.

This morning im feeling a bit horried, but mornings are always the worst. Im hoping once i can manage to take some painkillers (have to wait untill i know im not goona throw them up ) it will take the ache away and i will feel much better like yesterday.

Olivia is goes to her grandads on a wed so i can have a lay down again this afternoon if i need too!

tnx again for all of your advice girls
