May 2017 Mummies *NEW*

There's such things as rehydration drinks? I'm so gawd daymn thirsty but I can't keep any fluid down for long. A sip here maybe but I feel so rotten afterwards.

They are full of electrolytes. If you like Coconut water, it hydrates better than water as it's full of electrolytes.

 

[MrsLM23]

Eryinera yes you definitely should get some! I feel so much better for being able to keep fluid in me! Took my first anti sickness tablets this morning and it's worked wonders! Still have the nauseous feeling but without the intensity if that makes sense? I've managed a small breakfast and a proper lunch as well as a flavoured bag of crisps which is more than I've managed in almost 2 weeks Weighed myself this morning and I've lost 3lbs in 4 days but no doubt I'll put it back on soon enough especially if I'm managing to eat! Do feel a bit drowsy on them but not too bad. I'm now at that awkward stage where my jeans won't do up but obviously I'm not ready for maternity wear so I've just got a hair band keeping them up lol! Just had to pop to town to grab a few longer tops that will cover the zip area of my jeans for the next few weeks especially now the weather has changed so drastically it's freezing here!
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend x

 

[nikkix86]

how far are you brighty? it happened to me I had to wait 10 days and finally saw the baby hope it's the same for you x

 

[lisey]

I am in maternity wear already!!! Well bottoms anyway. Just long loose tops in next size up at the moment xx
Glad you feel a bit better mrslm xx

 

[Eryinera]

I'm not wearing pants at the moment lol. I have various sizes so I'm wearing size 14 at the moment when I do have to go out. I had rapid weight gain last year when put on heart medication I went from a size 8 to a 14 in 3 months got back didn't to a 10 then got pregnant so I have lots of pants to wear!
I definitely need to look into these drinks can I get them from teach or do I need a specialist shop?
My pee is so dark which is a sure sign I'm dehydrated. Maybe that's why I've been struggling. Now I'm eating more I'm handling the sickness better I must say. I just want to be able to drink. I feel like I'm in a lifeboat at sea..... fluids everywhere but none I can drink! (Plus the nausea lol) I thought my booking in was next Thursday but I think it's the week after.
I do hope little bean is OK.

 

[kabuk1]

That's the catch 22- you find it difficult to keep hydrated because of nausea and sickness, both of which can be caused by dehydration. You can get ORS tablets/powders that dissolve in water. They provide immediate rehydration. In the US the brand is DripDrop (which you can get on amazon UK). If you can stomach coconut water, that you can get anywhere. I don't like the stuff, but many do. Another thing is squeezing lemon juice into your water. I find that helps, but then I'm only dealing with nausea and not vomiting.

You can always ask about which electrolyte supplements are best. I have used the sport ones, but not all would be suitable. I never get ones with caffeine, but some do have that added.

Hope you find some relief soon.

Hi ladies,

I've been reading all your posts and updates on the go - work and everything has been crazy so I've been reading and running.

Tri1 has been a real rollercoaster - I'm so sorry to all the lovely ladies who've had horrid news. It's so not fair and I wish you lots of luck and love for your journeys with TTC.

Great news though for the successful early scans - keeping everything crossed that these last few weeks of Tri 1 go smoothly and quickly for us all.

I'm 8+1 and shattered and growing! I know it's bloat and water but by 12 weeks I will definitely be showing. My size 10's are feeling a bit snug so I'm gonna have to go shopping soon I think! Feeling so tired too and suffering from acne and lots of oily skin (gross!) Some waves of nausea but I'm doing good! Just on countdown now for my scan!

 

[Eryinera]

Thank you I'll look into it. I've never had coconut water... or milk... so I will try that to. If all else fails I can take my anti sickness pill then take the rehydration ones. I'm a bit disheartened as I've read so many people getting on with cyclizine but I've not taken it today and I feel no different to when I'm on them except I haven't slept my way through the day. But I'll try the other pills tomorrow

 

[Emily0505]

I've had to use a rubber band round the button of my work trousers as they're feeling really tight when they're done up. My other clothes feel fine, just my work trousers that are an issue. Maybe it's a sign that I shouldn't go to work?Lol!!

XX

 

[Eryinera]

Lol definitely a sign work is bad lol.

 

[lisey]

I haven't even attempted my jeans lately. I know they're not going to do up. I would need more than a hairband to keep them together!!
I didn't have anything until 20+weeks with my son. My Mum says I look the same as I did when I went to his 20 week scan lol. She wasn't saying it horribly, we just can't believe it compared to last time xx

 

[Emily0505]

I'm just bloated although I think I may have thickened out a bit lower down, not that it really notices.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and push my tummy out so I look like I have a bump (please tell me I'm not the only one?) I can't wait to have a proper bump!!

Really hope that all is going OK in there. Really wish my scan would hurry up!! I want to see my bubs again and know that everything is going as it should.

XX

 

[Eryinera]

Lol I do that too. I'm both wanting and dreading my next scan. Can't believe they want to leave it til 12 weeks. They are still discussing if I'm to go on clexane injections. I'm thinking they will say no. But who knows. I wish I could find out if things were OK in there. I feel I'm in uncharted territory! Trying to focus on the positives but I'm still to scared to even get a ticker let alone start a pregnancy journal! I wanted to get a doppler but again too scared lol.

 

[vegas]

What a crappy day guys. Been completely exhausted and had niggly stretchy cramps. After over a week of no brown spotting it's crept back in today. Just trying to forget about it and hope it stops again after a few days. Had a scan at 6 weeks and all ok. Just gotta get through the next 4 weeks till next scan. It's gonna drag!

 

[Eryinera]

Oh no.. I hope it's nothing Vegas and bubs is fine just getting snuggled in there x x

 

[Pebbles05]

I've got a date for my dating scan. It's 17th Oct, so 2 weeks tomorrow.
This is my first scan this pregnancy so it's a bit nerve-wracking!

 

[Eryinera]

Good luck hun. Scans never get easier I'm bricking myself about my next scan and I haven't even got a date for it yet! I just so hope all is OK. My sickness is easing which is good but worrying. I'm still nauseous nearly 24/7 but it's now manageable. Maybe I'm just getting used to it! My new pills are wonderful for when it gets too much. Argh. Such a worrying time. My cousin had her baby a few days ago I wish I was on that side of pregnancy lol!

 

[lisey]

It's probably the tabs working eryinera. Cyclizine is doing nothing at all. I feel worse than ever!! I am so pale and can barely walk. Will be calling doctor again tomorrow.
Good luck to the ladies with scans coming up xx

 

[Eryinera]

Yeah cyclizine just made me sleep! My new ones are better I'm not taking 3x a day just when required with a min 8hr gap. So I'm taking cyclizine at night to make me sleep through it and the others just before I have to do movement like take my son to school or something. I don't want to take them too often as there is a slight increased risk of things like cleft palette when taken in tri 1.

 

[lisey]

Oh I see. Cyclizine isn't even making me sleep!! I feel dreadful xx
