Hey mummymidwife, how are u feeling now? Insomnias kicking in for me and growing increasingly uncomfortable coz my bumps growing rapidly! May have to invest in a preg pillow, are they any good?
It's cool that all your dates are correct! I was adamant when we conceived but my dates say otherwise lol. Strange coz I put hubby on a sex ban for 3 weeks because we was getting married and only broke that ban once lol so confusing!
Yeh it's upsetting about parents, im so close to my mum and sort of expected her to understand abit more. My dad I can understand coz he's my dad we don't do close but seems like everyone else has a opinion on my pregnancy and what they thinks right.

Me and husband had a heart to heart yesterday, I went to bed early and he ended up sending me a long text saying how worried he is about me and that I'm nothing like I used to be, and that he wants to take me to docs about some sort of pre natal depression!... Didn't know it existed?!? He seems genuinely concerned and upset so don't know what to do really.

Hopefully we will hear from rhea soon and fingers crossed her abx starting to work! Poor thing she doesn't need this.

Hope ur ok mummymidwife and managed to get some sleep.

Xx

Hey jemfox, feeling really down today, still not slept since 2:30 am, been crying most of the morning. I think I am very upset about everything, plus my father in law has been in hospital for over 4 months with 2 strokes and the staff there has been just very unhelpful, this is bring DH down, me down, everyone down.
Coughing non stop
Still feeling sick
Really tired but can't sleep
Think your OH has probably diagnosed what I have. I had postnatal depression after my first baby and I think I am heading down there just now
How cute of of your husband to send you a text explaining his feelings, so nice that you had a had a heart to heart. I had the same with my hubby this morning and he too said he is worried about me very much; so I think you and I are on the same boat in many ways.

My dad has upset me recently , but like you, my mum and I were very close and suddenly I feel really hurt by how insensitive she has been at occasions, not all the time, just not getting the understanding I would like from her.

Gosh this has turned into a super grim post lol I think I am just over tired.

I don't see how your dates wouldn't be accurate if you only dtd once in 3 weeks??? Surely you should know better than the computer No idea when I conceived, just know my periods are very regular so only had that to go with

I hope everyone is having a better day than mine

Xxxx

 

[jemfox]

oh bless you, im also knackered, all I want to do is sleep and haven't even got the energy to get dressed. I honestly thought I was ok but after my husband telling me what he did im starting to question myself! ive also had depression in past...not nice.

sorry to hear about your father in law, even more upsetting when the staff aren't great. im used to my dads attitude, he doesn't do it on purpose hes just very say it how it is, saying that I know he is so excited about being a granddad. my mums almost makes me feel like I have failed, came round telling me to go out, do stuff, cook dinner, go for a walk....like I don't know how I feel?! if that makes sense but what can we do?

difficult because sometimes all I want is to sit and have a chat with my mum but increasingly feel like I cant because I come back feeling worse.

I have no idea how my dates add up lol! I gave up trying to figure it out! shes due on my 24th birthday haha.

seems like things have got on top of us this week doesn't it? husband wants me to speak to my midwife about how im feeling but I don't rly see the point?!

oh I hope the rest of the day goes better for you. can u squeeze in a nap? and something to eat?

xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Aw jemfox, I feel for you too for both of us actually

Things do seen to have got on top of us these last few days I am crying and don't even really know why, maybe just exhaustion.
I hadn't got dressed since my scan on Sunday, but I crawled into shower and forced myself to get dressed afterwards this morning, I think baby can sense I have been a bit edgy and has been moving so much which makes me feel even more emotional blah I know both my parents are also excited to be grandparents again, maybe I am just too sensitive?

My mum hasn't been in touch today which is unlike her, think she's realised she upset me! Like you, I would love to have a conversation with her that didn't involve " you should say you are ok then you will feel ok" sor of thing.

Because of postnatal depression 1st time round I am having the support of a perinatal mental health nurse, I haven't seen her yet this pregnancy but know her from last time and thought she was great. Maybe do speak to your midwife next time you see her, they may be able to refer you to some sort of support? Sleep on it and see how you feel?

I have been considering just going onto the next website and buying some cute baby girl sleepsuits to see if it cheers me up!

I have managed some food and drink and even taken a bump picture, can't quite believe I look so pregnant ; but no sleep. Hope you managed to get a rest and feel better for it.
Chin up x

 

[jemfox]

I'm still not dressed lol. Husbands trying to persuade me to go for walk with him and take dog out....I would much rather have a nap!

He's also just brought me a KFC...bad I know but I'm hungry and haven't eaten all day.

I haven't heard from my mum either which is unusual, it's upsetting but if I tell her how I feel I risk upsetting her.
Seems to be that in my families eyes the hg has run its course and I should be ok now.

Next have some lovely stuff! And really reasonable prices. They got some mega cute ranges for little girls..... Goodluck trying to resist the urge to buy something lol.

Yeh I'll sleep on it. Does the support u had help? I was referred to someone when I had depression before but hated it coz feel like I'm a freak and don't want to feel like that again.

Yay bump pics... I still tell myself I can get away with saying I've had a big dinner but I'm very obviously pregnant lol, I started showing about 16 weeks and seem to be growing by the day! Lots of movements and kicks on my bladder today by the little madam.

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

KFC sounds good, I hope you managed to eat it and enjoyed it

The support I got was a but strange to start with, I felt a bit judged but I think it was more my fear of others thinking I wasn't a good mummy or that people would assume I couldn't look after my baby and neither was true; but once I got passed that fear I realised that the nurse was genuinely trying to support me to look after myself and counsel to bring the best out of me rather than judging me so from then on I really enjoyed her home visits and was quite sad to see her go after a couple of months after Emily was born... So I got the news last week that the same nurse is looking after me again and will probably see her soon.
The team she is part if is amazing, see how you feel, even if it's just to ask what services are available in your area?

I haven't got properly kicked yet, I can feel tiny kicks but not massive ones and not on my bladder yet either, ouch.

I think once kids go to bed I will get web buying I think!

I hope you went for a walk, fresh air can work wonders * says me being in the house since Sunday*

Xxxx

 

[jemfox]

Ate all my KFC Yay!

That's what I was worried about I don't want the midwife to think I won't be a good mum or anything like that, appointments on Monday so ill have a good think about it.

Its a odd feeling when she kicks my bladder, my husband can't feel kicks yet tho

Oooo let me know if u buy anything! Next do some lovely babygrows, 3 in a pack for like £15! And they have this tutu sleepsuit hehe.

I skipped the walk! My friend popped in for a coffee on the way home from work which was nice! Going to have a nice soak in the bath soon I think.

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Kids just gone to bed, I have seen the tutu sleepsuit and think is adorable, I know they have cute stuff for good prices, I set my self rules just to break them, screw the waiting for the 20 week lol if it's a boy I sell them on ebay will let you know how I get on

Glad you managed the KFC, I might have an ice lolly soon, don't feel I can stomach much else !

There is always tomorrow for the walk lol I am gonna try getting out tomorrow, let's see. A soak in the bath sounds great, I spend half of tri 1 throwing up and the other half in the bath lol

Relax huni and hope you have a lovely sleep tonight
Xxx

Hey girls! How is everyone doing? Iceland was amazing!! Had the best time saw the. Lights and whales so a good trip. I was ill but nothing like I have been its done me really good getting away. Was only sick morning and evening so had the day of feeling ok. Has anyone heard from rhea? Got my 16 week app tomo can't believe I'm 16 weeks already! Hope everyone had a good day xxxxx

 

[kanga86]

Hey everyone, hooe you are all doing ok?

Glad you managed to have a good time away keeptrying, I would love to see the lights, very jealous lol

Hope you are feeling better jemfox and mummymidwife?

I ran out of my ondansetron on friday morning and picked up my new prescription, but they have done it for the melts instead of the tablets again and couldn't get another prescription done, so I am taking my leftover metachlopramide until I can get my tablets on Monday as the pharmacy has to order the melts in. I feel like crap today, so sick so I know that the ondansetron were working really well. Can't wait to get back on them and feel better again xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey kanga that's rubbish that u have to wait til Monday it's horrid when u have been feeling ok then u get the bad day again, it gets u down. I had my 16 week app all was good baby heartbeat was 160 so seems all ok. Can't wait til my 5 month scan now. Kanga r u finding out what ur having? Xxx

 

[kanga86]

It would exciting if we are all expecting girls, although I had hg with my son too. xx

 

[kanga86]

Stupid phone wiped out half my reply!

That's good that your appt went well and the heartbeat sounds like it is a lovely healthy baby. I will be finding out the sex, but I'm not 20 weeks til May I think! Still waiting for a date of my 12 week scan!! xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey girls how are we doing?
I had a horrible end of last week, just sick and tired literally but went away for the weekend and that did wonders for sickness, think relaxing defo helped.

I bought a few sleepsuits for baby girl which I felt naughty about as I really want the gender confirmed before I throw myself into it. The clinic which did my scan is bringing me back this Thursday free so I can get a better 3d picture of baby and the sonogropher will hopefully confirm it is a girl

Hope everyone is doing ok today

Love
X

 

[kanga86]

Hi mummy mifwife, sorry your feeling so sick still but glad you had a good weekend away. Exciting that you get an extra scan for free

I got back on ondansetron yesterday afternoon and still waiting for it take effect the sickness has gotten progressively worse over the weekend and proves that I am no where near ready to even reduce my tablets let alone stop, can see me needing them longer than 14 weeks this time around.

I'm really struggling with the whole do I don't I find out the sex of baby. I was really torn with my son and decided to find out, but I waited until my 20 week scan was over before getting the answer. The sonographer checked for me and didn't say until I asked as I was almost about to leave the room. I know it was the best decision at the time, but I was so close to not finding out that I really don't know what to do this time.

Also I have my 12 week scan on tuesday 18th March at 12+6wks, so the tww countdown begins lol

Hope everyone else is well? xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Thanks kanga, we went to a lovely resort and the kids had such a good time and with 6 hr free childcare a day DH and I managed the spa and lovely candlelit dinners ( I didn't enjoy the food much as couldn't stomach it ) but enjoyed the time just the 2 of us

Shame that you didn't have the best weekends and struggled through without the ondesentron, it is such a good drug for the sickness and I don't think I am ready to reduce it either you never know, you may be feeling absolutely fine by 14 weeks. Not long til your scan, just under 2 weeks, which is not too long

See how you feel during the 20 week scan? You may plan not to find out but then feel very strongly on the day or vice versa. I personally wouldn't contemplate not knowing , I needed to know lol also if have about 2 bin bags of my daughters clothes she has outgrown and all her shoes which I was going to get rid of but now am keeping.
So for us as a family it was definitely a joint decision that we wanted to know, does your oh want to find out?

X

 

[kanga86]

Your break away sounded amazing, and yay for free childcare included. It's my 2yr wedding anniversary tomorrow and I don't think we are doing anything. I don't feel up to going out anywhere after hubby gets home at 7pm!

I thought I was strongly for finding out the sex this time, but I just am not so sure now. I thought it would be an easy decision on to find out or not. But at least I have a while to toy with the idea before the 20 week scan.

We have so much boy stuff, but also loads of neutral newborn stuff as don't think it would be that bad if we needed girl stuff. Also most of our big items are neutral as I planned it that way from before we had a boy. So I don't feel pressured into finding out to get organised, it's more curiosity on my part. Hubby has said he does want to know, and then doesn't so think he is as confused as me lol Think it will be a spur of the moment decision again lol xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey girls, good to hear from you all. Mummymidwife so glad u had a lovely time away. It does really help I found going away relaxes u and takes away the constant sicky feeling. It will be lovely to be able to see ur little one again! Exciting! Kanga sorry ur still feeling bad. Just stay on the drugs as long as u need them. I know what u mean. About finding out. The sex as hubby not bothered but I really want to. Got another 3 weeks to decide. Jemfox how r u doing? Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey girls, thanks the break was really helpful, probably would not had done it in tri 1, but glad I managed to now. Already planning something for Easter hols

Kanga, it sounds like you are both undecided so maybe just leave it til the scan day and see how you both feel? Specially as you are not bothered bout clothes etc like me, I 'had' to buy all blue and all pink both times and heading the same direction this time!

Keeptrying if hubby not bothered and you want to maybe do find out? I am biased to give advice though as I obviously know what I am having and can't wait for the scan tomorrow

I would agree with keeptrying that we need to stay on the meds for as long as we need to. Everytime I think I will come off then I need them again :/

I have a wedding on Saturday and I really can't be bothered about, is that bad? She was my bridesmade and went on a long haul flight for my wedding so I feel obliged to go, I mean I do want to see her big day but the thought of having to dress up, do my hair, nails etc is stressing me out before it has even begun. I suppose it will be a kids free day and all I will do is sit down and watch others drink lol

I am still feeling so tired, I was meant to start my yoga classes yesterday morning but was so exhausted that went to back to bed once kids were off off to school; maybe all the night shifts have caught up with me now.

Hope jemfox is alright you hope we all have a good day today ... Housework it is now!

[jemfox]

Hiya ladies, sorry haven't been on much to over past few days!
How is everyone?
Aww keeptryin I was adamant I want to find out the sex and hubby didn't but a few weeks before he changed he's mind and now very glad we did.

My sickness has eased of loads lately but been replaced by a very bad back
Had midwife appnt on Monday and all went ok but I bottled out telling her how low I feel, worried she will think I'm a wimp!

I've had a busy day catching up with a old friend today and am now completely exhausted and my backs killing me, also for the past hour my bumps been really quite painful, like the back pain has crept round my front, also gone quite hard....not sure if this is anything to worry about??

Anyone heard from rhea?

Xx
