Heya,

I feel your pain with the tiredness! I sleep for about 12 hours a night, and have to have naps.
My husband is also very tired and now thinks he's having sympathy symptoms lol!

I went back to doc yesterday, he signed me off for another month! Basically said I'm very unlucky and pregnancy isn't kind to me lol. That's 14 weeks off in total

Ahh rhea I'm so pleased that u had a good day fingers crossed its a turning point!! Jemfox prob best ur signed off again takes the pressure off you. I went out and saw my friend who is due in 2 weeks she is huge and miserable! She said her sickness is back as well which nearly made me cry! Didn't even realise it can come bk at the end! I guess it needs to go first before I can think of it coming back! Haha! Hope u all have a lovely weekend and keep ur chins up and head out of the toliets lol! Xxx

 

[Rhea]

Aww yess keeptrying av heard a few girls saying it's come back at the end! Mine probly won't ever go properly n then come back full force at the end ohh tha is depressing! Yes I hav gud days n think maybe this is a turning point but then it's followed by bad days so I just don't get my hopes up anymore now, aww hope ur okay over the wkend too Hun xx

 

[jemfox]

Just ordered my dinner Yumyumyum, but I do actually feel pretty rough, probs coz I haven't got anything left in my stomach

Yeh I'm glad I've been signed off again, although I would like to go back I honestly don't think I'm well enough, each days different so can't even plan anything

Xx

It's crazy n sad how HG effects ya life xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Rough few days for me, I don't think I will go to work in the morning, just not possible this time
15 weeks now and still miserable , had a lovely curry yesterday with hubby and you guessed it, it all went down the toilet !

I am looking into complementary therapies for sickness, does anyone know of anything to try ?

Hope things are ok for everyone xxx

 

[Rhea]

Mummy midwife sorry u hav had a bad few days!! It's just so unpredictable it's annoying, ya hav a few gud days n get ya hopes up and then hav a bad couple of days afta it, that's why when I have a few gud days I jst don't get my hopes up I prepare myself tha il probs b gettn some bad days next! It's so miserable isn't it Hun,

Aww I managed to keep my tea down last night had to just go to bed n lie down it's bloody stupid the things ya gotta do, yes Hun don't force urself to work if ur not feelin upto it, I haven't tried any complimentary therapys av heard ppl say homeopathy has been helpful? Also accupressure aswell? I also read tha woman have used a magnesium spray on ther skin and that helped a lot with the sickness? (I did a lot of googling not sure if these actually work ha) I think that if u hav got HG the sad fact is ntn will bloody cure it till it decides to go on it's own, only medication n rest will help ease it,

Hope u hav an okay day today xx

 

[Hoping for no2]

Also having a bad few days. Managed the cinema but felt so awful by the time we got back. Went to bed at 530 pm and slept on and off till this morn. Feeling rough this morn. Finding hubby is less understanding now , think its because I was so much better he can't accept I've gone downhill again. Complaining a lot more about having to do things and seems annoyed that I can't. X

 

[keeptrying14]

Hi mummymidwife, I tried acupuncture and it didn't really help tbh. I'd leave feeling better but then within an hour it would be back. It was my worst weeks that I went 6-10 but I found it was more effort going than making me feel better. Someone has also recommended reflexology which I might try. I know what its like tho u r desperate for anything that may help. But I think like rhea said its not normal morning sickness which I think they can help with more than hg xxx

 

[jemfox]

Morning.

Sorry to hear you haven't had a good few days, I havent either, I don't know of any good remedies, doc told me nothing will really help only meds.

However I know people who rave about reflexology for other conditions so may be worth a shot!

Xx

 

[kanga86]

Suffering really bad here too, so fed up of not being able to do anything and feeling like shit constantly. Think sleep has caused a few of my problems, was awake 4am-7am yesterday morning then managed a couple of hours. Then this morning our phone went at 5:15am! And I couldn't get back to sleep, so exhausted but can't sleep! I find myself dreaming too much so that I don't feel rested.

I get some relief using sea sickness bands, but they leave sores on my wrists so only use them in extreme circumstances. xx

 

[Rhea]

Aww girls am sorry a lot of you have had a bad couple of days, this is why I luv my scans even if I feel like crap it's like am on a natural high for the next couple of days ha, am feelin very icky this morning too! Just put my heated rollers in going to watch robocop at 2:30 then nandos wi me sis I hope I can make it thru! Am actually nervous!

My baba has been kickin a lot more lately which is lovely ther not like ded strong just like lil thumps but can defo tell ther kicks

I always find myself feelin like shite n depressed on a Sunday! I duno y like, I hope everyone starts to feel better thru out the day,

Hoping for no2 sorry ur husband seems less understanding he won't fully understand that it's not morning sickness n won't just go n stay away, it must be so frustrating for u to try n explain it, my dad can b abit like that at times he's great bought me all kinds for the baby and has took me to hospital, always checkin on me but he's now sayn tha I must be feelin better n need to start helpin myself more by gettin out n about, it really annoys me when he says this!

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey girls, yeah I need to stop getting my hopes up and then be disappointed, bloody sickness!
Thanks Rhea, I have read and researched a bit but as you say I don't think there is a cure for it just yet, but maybe doing something will be good for me psychologically if you know I mean, I will at least be actively getting something instead of just staying here feeling sorry for myself lol it must be so nice to feel your little one kicking away, I haven't felt any kicks yet, hopefully will feel my 1st soon.

Keeptrying, I am thinking of reflexology, if nothing else it may just make me relax a bit ? Midwife I work with is a qualified reflexologist so think I will just have a go and see?

Jemfox I too agree that probably only meds do really help but feel helpless ATM. I am glad you got some more time off work, I am off today, just can't face it at all and will not push myself anymore :/

Kanga, my sleep seems a bit off too, I am awake for hrs at night then exhausted through the day, yesterday I pretty much stayed in bed all day.

Hopingforno2, sorry your hubby is less understanding; I think in his mind you are probably out of the woods ... I hope he realises it can be a bit up and down.

I am falling asleep here so better snooze ... Looking forward (not) to this half term week when I will have to entertain 2 active kids the weather up here has been gorgeous so can't even say it's horrible outside and let's just watch tv, praying I will feel ok and cope with this week !

Love x

 

[Rhea]

Hiya girls av just come out of the pics my baby was kickin away loads! Think it might of been the loud sounds it was an action film n I drank a small fanta too may of been the dizzy drinks, am jst in Nadia now orderin the plain chicken pitta instead of the hot I usually eat befor pregnancy, I dnt feel too bad and hopefully I will feel ok afta eating n be able to keep it down!

Mummy midwife yes I know wa u mean in makin u feel better psychology, ano wa u mean wi half term all my lil bros an sister will be home makin a riot, I can't belive it's actually half term they hav only just wnt back, aww hope u hav a nice snooze,

Hope everyone else is ok xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Thanks huni, I know, kids just been back 5 minutes and they are off again lol how many brothers and sisters do you have Rhea? Sounds like a lovely busy house so glad you went out and having a bit of normality back, you will have your hot pittas again once baby is here, plain is fine for now isn't it?

Bless baby kicking about, must be lovely

I had a snooze but still feel tired zzzzz

Xxx

 

[kanga86]

Omg I feel worse now than this morning. Can the tablets stop working? I was around this 8+4 weeks when I had to change from prochloprazine to metachlopromide last pregnancy. Started on metachlopromide this time, think doctors is in order tomorrow as I feel like death. Also feeling so down and not wanting to be pregnant at the mo, just want it over hubby doesn't understand how can I be thinking of ending a much wanted pregnancy, but I feel as though no one understands how I'm feeling and so alone xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Kanga, please please don't think u are bad feeling that way. When I was ur stage I wanted everything over. I didn't care anymore I just wanted to feel like me again. I remember sitting crying because I felt so ill. Are u being sick a lot or is it the constant nausea? If its the sickness maybe a trip to hospital is in order? I went at 10 weeks just for 2 days and the. Difference I felt coming home was amazing. I was still really sick but they. Managed to get sickness under control. I'm on. Metrocloprimide and it didn't agree with me at first but keep going with it and after. A week 10 days its gets in ur system. I know there is nothing I can say to make u feel better but I promise u are at the worst possible stage just keep taking it day by day. Don't even think I'll be better by a certain date just keep taking one day at a time. Thinking of u and lots of hugs xxxxx
