hiya ladies, how is everyone...kanga how are you??

im doing ok! bumps had a growth spurt I think coz I suddenly feel massive and finding it very hard to sleep at night.
ive got a large tattoo on my rib cage so waiting for that to become ruined (stupid teenager mistake)

husband was able to feel her kick for the first time on sunday night it was lovely, we didn't have a very good weekend, I was supposed to meet hes children due to problems with hes ex it all kicked off and I didn't, led to a massive argument! ex's ey!?!?!

im going into work today to sort out my maternity leave! ooo exciting, decided to go back next Monday and work until im 36 weeks, ide like to go a lot sooner because don't really fancy going round a hospital taking blood when im the size of a elephant.

hope everyones ok

xx

Hello girls, hope everyone is doing ok , I had a bad day yesterday but feel better today. I haven't been on in the last few days very much as even looking at a screen has made me sick, but hey ho what can be done? Nearly 19 weeks and still here kanga hun I hope things are a bit better between you and OH?

Jemfox sorry bout things not working out at the weekend. Mat leave will be here before you know it; I need to let my employer know when I intend taking may leave in 5 weeks time and I still haven't decided when I will go or come back so just wondering ATM what the best is!

Keeptrying so glad u had a good time and able to go out and enjoy life, even if it's for a bit is still brilliant I have booked family a lovely long May weekend at the same resort we stayed in last week... Looking forward to being able to have a nice time again.

Hopingforn2 I too have been wondering bout Rhea so much, I hope things are ok ... So worrying

Xxxx

 

[jemfox]

hiya ladies how is everyone?

im still annoyed from weekend but what can I do! hes children are supposed to come round ours not this weekend but the next so who knows what will happen.

im feeling really good, and have cut down my tablets. still rely on them but not as much. back to work Monday!

mummy midwife deciding on mat leave is so hard isn't it lol, and confusing! ive decided to go at 36 weeks for 8 months then another month being annual leave too have a boost in wages at the end, then ill go back part time hopefully afternoons, my husbands a postman and home early so he can take over form me while I go to work! that's the plan anyway lol....don't really want to put baby in childcare because its so expensive!!

still no word from rhea, im getting increasingly worried now

Hi girls. can I join you? I spent 3 days in hospital with severe sickness. Hadn't passed urine for almost a day and felt awful. Connected upto a drip and had some IV anti sickness meds. Managed to have a small wee and ketones were 3+. My kidney function blood tests weren't great either. Had fluids up for 2 days to hydrate and managed to start tablets rather than iv. Home now, signed off work and feeling pretty useless. OH is being very supportive and he has taken a week off work to look after our daughter. One of my friends has just been awful to me, I just wish some people would understand how bad this feels! xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey steffy! Of course you can we all totally understand how u r feeling its the worst thing in the world. Poor you I remember my hospital stay was proberly the lowest point in my pregnancy. How do u feel now you have come home? What meds have they put u on? I know how u feel when u feel noone really understands how awful it is and people just think its morning sickness when its far worse. Its a great support on here all the ladies understand judt what ur going through xxx

 

[jemfox]

hey steffy, of course!! I think I commented on another of your threads. you poor thing, how are u feeling today?

all of us here know how bad it feels lol, its not nice atall!!!


xx

 

[steffy]

Yes I know what u mean about feeling so low in hospital!
As we don't have a local hospital that deals with pregnancy I was 30 miles from home and felt separated from everyone. I am on cyclizine 50mg three times a day. It's effective for a few hours but by the time the next one is due I am so ready for it. Just feel so tired. I've managed a cuppa soup today with a couple of crackers. Lost almost 9lbs now and sure there will be more. xx

 

[keeptrying14]

That must be hard especially when u have a daughter to think about. On theplus side ur prob at ur worst 2 weeks now. I know 11 weeks for me was the worst. I'm at 18 weeks now and still on meds but it has eased a lot. Really hope u manage to keep something down today. Keep ur chin up xx

 

[jemfox]

bless you, if u feel the cyclzine isn't cutting it, ask your doctor to prescribe u ondansetron along with it. I was the same, im still taking the tablets combined and they have been a godsend.

I agree with keeptrying this is prob the worst of it, I was very poorly from 9-12 weeks and in hospital.

glad u managed some soup! eat what u want when u want while ur feeling like this.

[keeptrying14]

Hey jemfox how u doing today? When was it u go bk to work? R u def going? I feel awful today tried to come off the meds yesterday was NOT a good idea! Haven't even bothered to get up! Xxx

 

[jemfox]

hey im okay today! haven't felt sicky at all, just thirsty!? ive tidied the house, cleaned the fridge and done the washing.
im going back on Monday, I know im going to be eexxxhhhaaauusssttteeddd but in 10 weeks I start my mat leave.
also have just brought a corner sofa which I am unhealthly excited about lol.

sorry ur feeling poo today! how many weeks are you now? ive cut down my meds but im wary with coming off them completely even though feeling a lot better.

xx

 

[jemfox]

oh and I did a cheeky fake tan to make myself look human again and I now smell like a giant digestive biscuit haha xx

 

[keeptrying14]

You have started nesting! That's exciting! I'm so pleased u are getting better. I'm 18 weeks on sat been the longest of my life!! I watched what to expect when ur expecting I read ur post about it and it made me laugh especially the pregnancy sucks bit! R u nervous about going bk or looking forward to it? Xx

 

[jemfox]

oh god I have haven't I? eeep.

cool, are u going to find out the sex?

ha that film cracked me up, hit home on so many levels and made me cry at the miscarriage bit!

im nervous about it hitting me like a bus and feeling exhausted but excited because im close friends with my work lot, also hope I still remember how to do my job lol.

xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Yer we r got scan on 1st april so not long! Yes its started! I know that part of the film was so sad. Makes me realise how luck I am even tho I moan a lot! That's good prob do you good to get into a routine again. I know for me going back part time has helped make me feel a bit normal again. I was reading ur post on prenatal depression as my hubby keeps saying he thinks I'm suffering with it. I don't know tho I've never been depressed in my life but recently started to get down about how I feel and anxious about giving birth already. Is this similar to you? Xx

 

[jemfox]

oo exciting!! yeh made me realised how lucky I am too.

yeh somedays im ok like today, others I feel worthless, its not like the depression I had in my late teens though, but my husband showed me information on pre natal depression I can relate with all the symptoms, have you read about it atall?
im growing increasingly nervous about the birth, and its hard because I never knew pregnancy could be so hard! no one tells you theres a possibility you could be so sick u end up in hospital so feel like ive failed at it at times! im apprehensive about telling my midwife about it though, I don't want to be judged.

xx

 

[keeptrying14]

I'm exactly the same. I just feel that my body has failed in pregnancy sohow is it ment to deal with the birth. Mad I know but I keep thinking it. What if thisgoes wrong or that happens I can't seem to get a positive outlook at the moment. I'm like u tho somedays I'm fine others its all I can think about. I want to tell my midwife but ivenever met her as she has been off sick my whole pregnancy! So don't feel like calling up a stranger and spilling all that to them I may end up sectioned or something! Xx

 

[jemfox]

lol well atleast we are not alone in feeling like this! im guna see how I am in a few weeks now im feeling better, maybe its just a part of hyperemesis.

ive now tidied my lounge and lit a 'fluffy towels' yankee candle. oh god whats wrong with me!
