HG and NVP thread

[Hoping for no2]

Rhea so glad to hear from you and great news about the infection getting better! Hopefully you can make it to 30 weeks plus hon, will keep my fingers very crossed for you.

Keeptrying have an amazing holiday!


Kanga glad to hear your generally feeling a bit better. Good that you've been signed off again.

Mummy midwife I'm 15 weeks and thinking of coming off my meds at the weekend. I've already cut down to only the domperidone and only taking it twice a day and seem not too bad. I've only been sick once in 2 weeks still feeling nauseous but thinking that might be something I just have to put up with. Xxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Oh wow thats amazing you are down on meds already and not feeling so sick! Throwing up once in 2 weeks sounds good, although no throwing or nausea would be even better
I am hoping the same for me, I am still taking the ondasentron and cyclizine at the moment, fx it will be ok come the weekend and I will be 17 weeks!

Hiya ladies, Ive had a good day today! Even got myself some pick and mix! Glad we all seem to be getting there slowly! I'm due back at work in 3 weeks and think this time I'll be able to manage it.

I'm now snuggled up on the sofa Watching the new series of one born every minute.... Probs not my best Idea!

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

I hope now your 16 weeks mummy midwife that your HG is stopping for you. I got better from 14ish weeks last time, which is when I stopped the tablets, but still felt iffy on and off until 19 weeks. Hoping I'm lucky enough this time, even though the sickness is worse this time around.

I will have been off work longer than I was in my new job!! I bet they hate me lol

I will be completely shocked if I get told girl at our 20 week scan lol only at least 11 weeks to go! I don't even have a 12 week scan date yet! xx

Hey kanga I had missed your post yesterday sorry :/
I felt better at 16 weeks on/off too until 19 weeks and that was me. I still feel queasy through portions of the day but nothing I compared to what it has been like.

How come you don't have a date for your 12 week scan ? Hope you get it soon as I really used that date to keep focused! My work has been lovely but I think there will be some bitching going on as I am off again today full of the cold and a temp does your work know you are pregnant yet?

You may be in for a surprise and have a girl

I cried and cried watching OBEM last night , can't believe how emotional I get , but it's so lovely to see new life coming into the world and then think , wow I will be having one of those

X

 

[jemfox]

I used to be able to watch it with ease and now I get so emotional, hits home that it's actually happening to me! And I found it difficult to watch the last bit when she haemorrhaged and he missed the birth! Normally ide just sit there and watch it fine lol.
I'm 23 weeks on Thursday I can't quite believe it!

How u feeling today mummymidwife? I think that with my work too, we are quite close nit at my place and worry they think I'm taking the piss now I'm in my fourth month off but there's nothing I can do! U can't work being full of cold anyway bless you xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

I have felt quite sick for about an hr this morning, but it has gone now, curled up on sofa with my duvet and maternity pillow
I do think I should be at home as I feel poorly and not good for mums and newborns to have me coughing all over them; but I do feel a bit bothered that I have been off work loads, but as you say , what can I do? Not fit for work and that's it !!!!

OBEM I am such a softie, I delivered 3 babies live just at the weekend but I still cry watching it on tv lol I felt so sorry for the dad missing baby's birth, poor him and I think the woman was really trying to hold baby in , bless them bleeding is very scary although hers was thankfully a 'minor' bleed

How nice will it be when we are finally holding out tiny bundles ?!?!?

Hope you are feeling ok?

[jemfox]

Yeh I want to go back to work but last time I collapsed on the wards, I take blood and oh god imagine if it happened with a needle in my hand. Last time I just managed to put it away!

Aww your job must be amazing, especially being pregnant yourself. I love going on the post birth ward where I work, when I was trying to conceive I found it really difficult but now love it.
Not looking forward to giving birth infront of people I see every day tho but sure I won't care on the day!

I'm surprisingly ok today, I ordered some really cute wall stickers for baby at weekend so I'm hoping they come today to give me something to do! Or I'll just end up buying baby bits online as it's payday today lol

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Aw that's nice bout stickers, what is your theme? I had a lovely set of stickers with a sunny garden theme for my daughters room, it was so lovely

I do love my job, I have noticed I am more in tune with the women now I am pregnant and I love the babies too. I cant imagine what it must feel like to be ttc and having to see lots of pregnant mums and their babies but glad now you are carrying your own little girl yay

Pay day is not til the end of the week for me :/ but I won't be buying any baby stuff yet, will wait til my 20 week scan to make sure it is in fact a girl !

[jemfox]

We going for winnie the pooh, got one where he's holding tigger so goes down wall abit and the other ones a winnie the pooh quote..... "sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart" and my mums given me some cross stitch pictures she done when I was a baby.

Yeh I hated going on the ward when TTC, we was only trying a year which is nothing to some people but still upset me.

Hehe Yeh my husband said he's going to hunt the scan lady down if ours comes out a boy! We brought Loadsa girly things.

Have u thought of any names yet?

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Aw that sounds very nice and loving the quote, I have seen it before and think it is lovely
Also lovely touch to have bits from when you were a baby too !

My mum kept my newborn dresses and it was lovely putting them on DD.

I am certain the scans are pretty accurate, I am always hesitant for whatever reason lol it better be a girl too because now my heart is set on having one now even though I have not bought clothes yet :/

DH and I are stuck for names, we always have lots of boys' names that we both like but 0 girls' it was a real struggle when we had our daughter , it was ages til we both agreed on Emily. Now I have no idea if we are going to actually come up with one before baby's 1st year lol

Remind me of your names choices?

My work know I'm pregnant but that's only because my first sick note said the reason was vomiting of pregnancy on it lol

I don't have a scan date yet because I haven't seen my midwife and they said off the referral after the booking in appt. I was meant to have my booking in appt yesterday, but midwife was sick so going Thursday instead, probably won't get a letter til a week after that. This is how it has been for both my mmc and my sons pregnancy.

I do have my private scan tonight though at 7:30pm, so super excited for that xx

 

[jemfox]

Awww that's cute with ur little one wearing what u did

It helped me bond finding out we are having a girl, I wasn't enjoying my pregnancy one bit because of the hg but now I love the fact my little girls in there!

We have chosen Ella rose, but other names I considered were Sofie and amelia.

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Aw kanga how exciting about your scan , it will be amazing I am sure !! Please come back to tell us how you got on, will be thinking of you tonight!

Jemfox, I do like your name choice Ella is a beautiful name, shame hubby is so stubborn in his ideas lol
I think Emily's pictures with my baby dresses are very cute, my mum spent the afternoon dressing her up on all the different dresses and taking photos, bless her

I too am finding this pregnancy quite hard, just been sick, been in tears already my poor kids keep saying it's ok mum 'the cord is making you sick' - I told them that it is not baby's fault mummy is sick but the placenta that feeds the baby that makes me sick, but they call it 'the cord'; I don't want them to resent the baby .
Finding out the gender I have to agree that it has put a positive spin to it

X

 

[jemfox]

My hubby was also stubborn on names!

I've also had teary days, can't quite imagine feels the way I did in the earlier weeks, I even contemplated ending the pregnancy. But each scan and kick I get from her I'm so glad I didn't! It makes all of it worth while.

How are u feeling this eve any better? I'm sitting her nibbling on pick and mix lol

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

I feel sick am on couch curled up with my duvet, did homework with kids and fed them *yuck smell of food cooking* , now they are chilling/playing and I will soon have to get up to organise their bath, DH not back til later.

I understand how you felt/feel 100%.
I care about this baby very much, The thought of anything happening to her frightens me, but I can't say I have bonded yet. I feel miles better than I did in tri 1 so I hope once this sickness goes ( I am praying it does) and I have my next scan I will become close to this little one too, it would help to have a name for her like you, but we still have time I suppose

I am starting yoga classes next week and I am hoping to take the time to focus on baby and bond that bit more with her!

[kanga86]

Sorry your feeling so rough today mummy midwife. I'm feeling a bit sicky but I think that is down to nerves for the scan, even though I heard the heartbeat yesterday. I love your kids reaction to the sickness, and so glad they don't hate baby for it.

Ella Rose is a beautiful name jemfox

I can't wait to know the sex, feel movements and not feel sick, I think it all really helps to bond with baby, at the mo it just feels like a long term sickness bug. We already have our names, but baby won't be known by their name until they are born. Harry was known as Roo until the day he was born even though we had his name from before we knew the sex. Our boy's name is James David (middle name after DH's dad) and girl's name is Emma May (middle name after my grandma). Not even sure hubby knows I have Emma for a girl, we are that sure for having a boy we haven't had the girl name talk lol xx

 

[kanga86]

Scan went great, baby was really active probably due to eating macdonalds prior to going lol Now measuring 10+2wks instead of 9+6wks so 3 days ahead. Due date of 21st Sept, but going to stick to the same one until 12 week scan. xx

 

[jemfox]

Lovely clear scan kanga and lovley names. I like the idea of dad's name as middle name, my brother has my dad's name as middle. I wanted to do it if we had a boy but my husbands name is Ricky not even Richard lol so sounds abit off after most names.

Mummymidwife sorry ur still feeling crap, smell of cooking also gets me, my parents came over today and general chit chat asked what we have for tea ect...mum brought us lamb curry today which I let husband have and they sort of had a go saying I should be cooking for husband and then he piped up agreeing with them telling me that's traditional and coz I'm home all day. Sorry but I'm 23 weeks now, how can they not understand yet?! So I'm annoyed at husband and have come to bed without anything to eat after sorting he's dinner out!!

Humph!

Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

I feel crap, went to sleep just after 8 and have woken up at 2:15 am feeling really sick and can't stop coughing, hubby has left the room as he can't sleep with me like this , I hope this nightmare ends soon!!!

Aw wow, lovely scan picture kanga, so pleased everything went well nice to be put forward a bit, my dates have always been the same at every scan and my due date is the same by 12 week scan and LMP :/ bet you feel better for seeing baby.
I like your names, my son's middle name is David too and so is my husband's. Hubby and I can't even agree on a 1st name how are we ever going to agree on a middle name too?????
Soon enough you will be getting a bump and all the little movements

Jemfox, unfortunately I have to grin and bear the smell of cooking when hubby not in because of the kids, but when he is around he cooks, don't care about tradition, all I care about is avoiding triggers to the sickness... Nice that they brought the curry, I love lamb curry, not nice having a go for you not cooking for hubby !!!! It hurts so much when our parents don't get it, isn't it? I had a bit of an argument with my mum today and feel quite hurt by what she said so I can understand how you feel!
Did the stickers arrive yesterday?

Wondering if Rhea is getting out of hospital later on today, I hope everything is still going well for her and baby girl

Grrrr I feel so sick , just want to sleep
