Hey jemfox glad to hear the sickness has eased for you. Why don't you give the hospital a call? Probably back pain and Braxton hicks , but they can give you better advice ?
My pelvis has been a little dodgy as had spd last time and can feel it at times, after some shifts I also get back pain so ca. Totally sympathise xxx

 

[Hoping for no2]

My sickness was also much better until today.. Got nothing done at all had the midwife on the plus side so heard heartbeat

Still no word from rhea, hope she's ok...

Kanga I've come off the meds at 16 weeks but after today wondering if I've done the right thing. Will see how I go over the next few days. Not as bad as I was by any stretch tho x

Random question about ondansetron for anyone on them. I had the 4mg tablets (3x a day) from the hospital and they worked brilliantly. I'm now on my prescription from the doctors which is 8mg melts (2x a day) and I don't think they are working as well, been feeling very sicky the last few days. Should I go to the doctors and ask for the tablets instead?

Sorry your feeling so sick today hoping for no2, but yay for hearing the heartbeat xx

 

[jemfox]

I had a long soak in the bath and pain and tightness went, now back to soft bump so guessing braxton hicks?
Kanga not sure about the ondansetron, I started off on the melts 3 times a day because couldn't keep tablets down then moved on to tablets, I couldn't tell difference, if anything the melts worked quicker :-S

I'm laying in sofa in my onsie eating bacon rashers coz I can! God I hope the sickness stays away, doubt it so I'm making the most of feeling ok atm!

Did anyone find their sickness got worse again around 11 weeks? After finally starting to feel good for a week, I feel as though I have gone backwards I'm not being sick, but gine back to that constant nausea all day again. I'm due back to work soon (been off on sick 6-11wks) and now starting to not feel ready again. Is it easier going back than I'm thinking it will be? xx

 

[jemfox]

my sickness returned with vengeance, I ended up back in hospital at 11 weeks. the problem with Hyperemesis is it lets you think your recovering so u push urself a little bit further only to be not so kindly reminded that your still unwell.
I was off work 8-17 weeks, went back for 10 days and ended up in hospital again.
Kanga if your still unsure about work, don't go back. im still signed off at 24 weeks and although sickess has eased massively im still not right and don't know if ill be returning when my sick note runs outs in 10 days.

for me it was 10x harder going back than I though it would be

[kanga86]

You really have had a rough time of it. I have been pushing myself alit more to go out with my son to plat groups, farms and soft plays and do more around the house. Thinking adding working 3 night shifts as well is going to tip me over the edge. Hubby is really pressurising me into returning to work as we are so short of money with me only on ssp.

Around this time with my son I was feeling much better than I am this time. I'm on stronger tablets and been in hospital so just feel so much worse this time. I was off work til 14wks with harry and was hoping to be back before that this time. xx

Hey kanga sorry to hear ur feeling rubbish again. Mine peaked at 11 weeks and was bad until 15 weeks now at 17 weeks I am starting to feel myself again but still on the meds. I was off work from 8 weeks-16 weeks and only go in part time now. It's the worst thing ever. If u don't feel like u can don't push ur self u will make it worse like me fox said. U do what's right for you.

Gem fox and mummymidwife, hopingforno2 how u doing? Xxx

 

[mrswoody]

Kanga I had a week of feeling sicky in the evenings then in subsided but this week I've been feeling awful all day. Not so much sicky but tired and run down.
The joys of pregnancy x

Kanga yes, my sickness got very very bad at 11 weeks, it was bad before but it was horrendously bad then , at the end of my 11th week I was in hospital on IV antiemetics; just as I though i would start to feel better bang

I am sorry you too are finding this, I am soon 18 weeks and at about 15-16
Weeks the sickness has been more manageable. I hope you feel better a lot sooner though x

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey Keeptrying, I am having a good day today thanks; how are you? I had a Chinese tonight , that's something I never thought I would do this pregnancy ))))) jemfox hope you are still able to munch on bacon today?

I am definitely having a little girl, we had another peek on baby today, she is just very cute and has grown loads.

[keeptrying14]

Aww lovely pic mummymidwife so glad all is good! I can't wait for mine still 3 weeks tho seems like forever! When r u ment to feel movement with ur first baby? I'm 17 weeks and not feeling anything yet. Had my 16 week check up and listened to heartbeat was 160 and all fine. But u knw what it's like worry worry worry! That's amazing u got to eat Chinese! Still not there yet!! Started eating chicken tho which is an improvement as couldn't eat any meat before this week! Xxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

I think the average for 1st baby is between 18-20 weeks, with some not feeling anything until 22 weeks. I always felt early movements with all my babies from 13 weeks but thing that's the exception rather than the rule I don't think it is anything to worry about hun

Glad you managed some chicken, it's a start it has definitely taken me a long time to get here, enjoying it whilst I can! Hopefully you'll soon feel the same too xxx

 

[jemfox]

Hiya ladies! So glad we all seem to be doing okay today! I'm crossing my fingers that I am on the road to recovery now. I'm still headachey, tired... Well exhausted and back ache but think that's just normal pregnancy now.
I still have waves of Omg nausea and sickness.
My mum sent over homemade fish in a tomato sauce (she does this Alot coz I still can't really face cooking) and I actually enjoyed it but had to stop eating it because I could feel myself about to throw up which was wierd! Maybe baby doesn't like tomato sauce!

Keeptrying regarding the movements I started to have what u guess was movement at 17 weeks. People describe it as flutters ect but to me it felt like I was going over a big hill in a car wierd feeling, nothing that made me stop and go ooo This baby. Then at bout 20 weeks I randomly felt like someone was flicking me from the inside and now for the past 10 days or so I'm getting blatetent boots and can feel her turn, can also see bump move. It's also my first pregnancy so hope that helps lol!

Xx

 

[keeptrying14]

That's good to know thanks jemfox. Was starting to worry a little bit but guess its still early. I can't wait to feel movement. Wow eating fish that's really good I still can't. Go near it coz of the smell! I'm so pleased ur feeling better u have delt with it long enough by now! I have definitley started to feel abit better this week thank goodness! Still on meds but dropped it to one a day rather than 3 that I was on. Fingers crossed for all of us that this is the start of getting better! Xxx

 

[kanga86]

Glad to know it's not just me that started feeling worse again around 11weeks, I hope I don't end up at hospital again though! I think the stresses if having my Nan's funeral next week could have an effect on the sickness, plus the fact we have to travel 5 hours in the car to get there Not looking forward to it at all. Feeling very stressed, worried and emotional at the mo. Hate that I'm hating the pregnancy, although I didn't enjoy my first either, really am doubting my decision to do this again. I'm going to go off to bed before I start crying, hope you all have had good days today and tomorrow is better xx

 

[Hoping for no2]

Yay to most feeling a lot better!

Great scan pic mummy midwife and glad it's still a girl.

I've been sick first thing the last few mornings so oh has just brought me a crumpet in bed to see if that will help keep it at bay. I'm determined not to go back on the meds but it is a bit of a struggle at the moment. Will give it till Monday and see how I feel.

Have a nice day everyone! Xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey kanga. I really sympathise with u about the travelling. We went to iceland. 2 weeks ago and I felt awful still. I got really emotional about going and the journey etc. I found that doing it in stages really helped me. I thought I just needto get to the airport and then there is a toliet. Then on the plane only 3 hours then I'll be near another toliet. Sad I know but breaking it down really helped me do the journey. Xx

 

[kanga86]

Thank you keeptrying, I think everything is just getting on top of me at the mo, the sickness, my nan passing away, work issues and just the lack of support and understanding from anyone. Even the doctor made me cry this morning DH doesn't understand and I feel as though he is forcing me to return to work when he knows I was off til 14 weeks with harry and I've been so much worse this time. He is scared I will lose my job because as it stands I've been off sick longer than I was doing my job as only just started there before xmas.

The doctor basically told me iff for doing too much already, when I'm doing less than half of what I normally do, plus I'm apparently not drinking enough when I'm actually drinking loads as so thirsty. Then went on to say I shouldn't expect the anti sickness tablets to be a miracle cure, which of course I don't but when you start to feel sick again you can't help but worry, especially as last time I ended up in hospital.

Just so fed up and down and crying alot today. Just want it all over now so im not being a burden to mike, harry, my wotk and everyone else I seem to be pissing off for being ill for 6 weeks already. Sorry rant over xx

 

[jemfox]

kanga I completely sympathise with you and 100% understand how u feel, If I read back my posts from when I was 11 weeks I sound exactly the same, it was that time I contemplated ending pregnancy. but look at me now, ive made 24 weeks and yesterday was my viability day! woohoo. so u can do it.

I aslo felt like I was letting everyone down and pissing people off but that's because I didn't realise just how ill I was, it wasn't until I was 17 weeks walking out of hospital for the 4th time that it hit me thinking how far ive come, I continuously pushed myself to try and keep people happy but made myself worse.

its about you and your baby, not your work or OH. just take it easy. I found it very hard to get my head around the fact that I couldn't do noway near as much as I physically could before pregnancy which was horrible so I know how u feel, I still struggle now but used to it.

always here if u need to vent.
