[Shanivy]

GG that's great news sounds like a section is definitely the best option for you at this point xx

PB no it's the only one. Going to see what happens Friday with everything before I act. Im just drained emotionally with it all hun xx

I dont know what's wrong with me. All I've done since yesterday is eat. OH said I've been like that part in lord of the rings where the hobbits talk about breakfast, then elevensies, the dinner and supper and about five more meals lol. I've ate more Sunday/Monday than I have in a month! Must be feeling better because my appetite certainly is :/

Food is awesome...enjoy it all.

Yes, I'm so relieved. She was not my normal midwife but she so lovely. Really put me at ease and I feel a million times better.

Hope she can reasure you shan x

Ughhh honestly sometimes the ovia app community pisses me off. I think i have thrush, and my vag wont stop burning. I just wanted to know a quick solution on how to stop the pain of the burn cos i cant go to shops or drs. Anyways everyone just went on a rant saying its called a yeast infection because you only get thrush in the mouth, or told to go drs get cream. Well drs have always said thrush to me.. Why even take up your own time just to reply that...probably americans :/

 

[Shepherdess]

I'm glad your midwife app went well GG and your fears have been put to rest

I'm with you Shanivy I eat loads atm. I'm disappointed with my weight gain but can't stop eating. And not good stuff. This last week I've eaten so many sugary things. Still craving fruit but now it's chocolate and biscuits to. And fish fingers, ate fish finger sandwiches 3 times last week!

Eh PB?! I've always called it thrush, everyone does. That makes no sense. As for solution's, yoghurt? Or sudocreme externally

 

[Shanivy]

PB god the Americans on that app lol. Thrush IS a yeast infection...so calling it thrush is correct. What is their issue? The first I've ever heard that you can't get vaginal thrush and only get it in your mouth . I gave up with them after that post about how it's okay to smoke joints pregnant. Anyway I had a nightmare with thrush pregnant with dd. You really need the cream etc but I'd agree with Shep to try some sudocrem to ease it for now. That worked for me before the cream. And tight underwear makes it worse in my experience. Xx

Yeah Shep it's all no good for me the last couple of days too. I'm not even sure I'm hungry half the time or just greedy! Xx

 

[Shanivy]

May as well. Bump pic for tonight so almost 25 weeks. I cant tell whats baby bump and what's just me lol. I weigh just under what I did when I got pregnant (probably from being ill) But it must be the way the pregnancy is distributing my weight because I look very big for 25 weeks ! She's going crazy tonight too. Probably on a sugar high from all the crap I've eaten today :/

(Excuse my sofa btw, took all the cushions off to wash and can't get them on again lol job for OH when he comes home)

Let's get some 2nd tri baby bumps this week, almost in 3rd already

 

[JaneyJan]

PB, I've had a few rounds of thrush this pregnancy. And strangely enough is not discharge that I've had so much a problem with but a stinging vagina! Which I never had before. A clotrimazole pessary is the only (and quickest) thing that's sorted me out. But unfortunately needs a shop.

 

[JaneyJan]

I'll upload a bump pic some point next couple of days..


I'm going to phone my midwife tomorrow. Leaving for a two week holiday to Australia for two weeks... And a bit worried about the fact that I'm still so much more tired than usual (like, true fatigue where I can sleep 15 hours a day and still feel exhausted, got blurred vision, hasn't to get up to empty a full bladder at least 3-4 times a night, still have only lost weight overall, still regularly feeling nauseous, and having thrush infections much more than pre pregnancy.

It wasn't until I saw ALL these symptoms in a neat little list of symptoms of gestational diabetes... Now I'm wondering whether I have that. Talked to other people who had GD and they felt similar.

Think is, I'm only due a glucose tolerance test at week 25 after I'm back from Australia, and I'd kind of like to know before then. Also the flight is really long obviously, and have a family history of blood clots so should probably see if they want me to take anything prophylactic on the flight.

 

[JaneyJan]

Also, this is random but does anyone else have crazy eye twitching? My right eye has been constantly flickering for weeks. Since the new wave of exhaustion.

 

[_GG_]

Janey, I hope you get an appointment before you go. Sounds like you need to talk through a fair bit. Maybe ask for a double appointment?

 

[_GG_]

Ladies, Dan and I went to Asda tonight just for shits and giggles really as hevtook me out to get a McDonald's milkshake and it's such a way from home we thought we'd capitalise on it and get some shopping.

Well, he saw a teddy bear that was obviously for Mother's day. Grey bear with a green heart. It's just under 2ft tall and so soft and lovely. £2.50 so a total bargain and one came home as a late mother's to be day present for me. I LOVE it. I have, this evening, cuddled it on the sofa and it's a perfect head rest for napping. I also had it between my thighs and wrapped my legs around it ...so comfortable. If any you see them in Asda, do yourselves a favour and get one!

 

[PeanutButter]

Jan ive have eye twitch in every pregnancy! Such a weird symptom lol.

GG I bought 2 of those for next mothera day for my mom and mil. Hubby isnt that thoughtful, if he saw it he wouldnt buy it for me lol.

Definate bump now shan
Will post bump pic later x

 

[Amy207]

What a terrible night.... I keep having god awful nightmares of murder violence blood and gore!!!! I wake up in a panic and not want to go back to sleep so a very tired Amy today!!

Anyone else having nightmares?

 

[Shepherdess]

The only time I've ever had an eye twitch was when I was doing my dissertation, definitely feel more tired then that now

Lovely bump pic Shanivy I'll try and post one today

Yes Amy I've had nightmares.some nights I sleep sound with lovely dreams other nights I'm so restless with nightmares. I slept well last night but woke at 5am when husband got up, after that I dream I was being chased through the snow in the dark by wolves. I woke up with a fright.

Well I'm really hoping the snow is gone for good now, DD and I are off to the garden centre today, we always have a sunflower growing competition and we're wanting to plant the seeds soon. Need a new pot for baby as hopefully by the time the sunflowers are out baby will be to

 

[malagueta]

GG I'm glad your midwife was great and got things sorted for you with your birth options. Must be a weight off your mind someone knows what they're doing!

Shan I've got a huge appetite these days too. I can't stop eating, I'll be huge by the end of pregnancy at this rate.

Anyone else feel dry downstairs? I'm sure it's all the peeing I'm doing but it's getting to the point where I'm starting to feel uncomfortable on wiping.

Hopefully here's a pic of bump attached. 23 weeks today! Excuse the lack of door frame in the background haha. We've taken all the door frames off as were replastering the walls and are getting new doors for our new house.

 

[PeanutButter]

Shep ive heard that theres a beast from the east number 3 is coming on easter. God knows how true it is but ffs im done with winter.

Amy yeah ive been having nightmares... Saw ugh. And alot of my husband cheating on me aha, very self concious since this pregnancy.

Mala thats how my thrush started. I found online tp put vasaline there to try and prevent it.

 

[malagueta]

Thanks PB. I'll maybe give that a try. I had a thrush infection early on in pregnancy and don't fancy another! Hope you can get to some shops soon to buy something for yours.

 

[Shanivy]

Agree with the dreams. Had a nightmare last night too. Some sort of something was chasing us and I had two bullets in a gun. In my dream I was deciding if I should shoot my daughter in the head before the thing got her. Horrible. Fking hormones.

Malagueta beautiful bump pic for 23 weeks ! I think if we all had nice weather we'd start eating a bit better. Hard to want salad and fruit when you feel like you're in an eternal winter! Agree with PB possibly could be the start of thrush, especially with the discomfort on wiping, maybe get some canesten in just incase Xx

PB I've never heard of Vaseline for thrush, hope it helped a little for you xx

Shep that's so cute getting baby one too. I'm wanting my garden done and all the garden centres are having sales here but it's still freezing so I don't know if I should get anything yet. So so fed up of this weather! Also I just noticed your ticker can't believe how close you are to 3rd tri! Xx
Can't wait to see the rest of your bumps

 

[LuckyLaura]

A 3rd beast from the east?? ugh haha we have been luckier over here as we haven't been hit as badly but dear god why won't winter stop haha I'm sooo in the mood for summer weather and enjoying the sunshine without being freeezing. Also my new coat I bought in October which was fitted doesn't close anymore which is a pain and I'm refusing to buy a brand new coat again hahaha so layering like an onion with jackets that are looser

PB hope your thrush is feeling better, Ive never been on the ovia app but that just sounds moronic, like who cares what its called?! its more important to find a solution to the pain,why do people have to be so pedantic? I hate know-it-alls

I had the first "lie-in" in weeks haha slept until now and I swear it's done me the world of good. Spent the last two days wasting my life unable to even function as this ridiculous exhausted zombie who cried at the drop of a hat and spent the rest of the time staring at the floor or wall haha Unfortunately, last night I started to feel like i had a sore throat and ive woken up and its worse with feeling like theres glass in there so UGH I CANNOT GET ILL AGAIN hahaha so annoyed.

Hope everyone has a great day! xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Its not to treat thrush just to help prevebt jt apparantly. Well it helped my burning yday and its not been back! Im not even sure it is thursh you know, sometimes if i dont drink enough i get the bunry feeling... But went on for like days but has stopped dont wanna take stuff fot it if i dony have it and dont want th swabs ahaha.

Shan, i thought about that the other day ... Aftet watching a zombie film, like woule i just let her be eaten. Lmfao random things to make you feel sad ahaa.

Glad you managed to get a decent sleep laura.
Dd had decuded to wake up at 6am everyday. Was 8 then 7 now 6. Shes preparing me for a newborn slowly aha.
