Have you said that to your docs? That sounds fairly severe... and I should know :rolleyes:

Agh no not in your league Cyning just having a moan gets tiring being constantly nauseous. Just can`t eat anything bar cereal or toast or I vomit so I don`t. Was in hosital this week and they thought it was fine and they knew thats all I could eat.

Fri.Day · 13-01-2012 8:01pm

Cyning glad you`re out, my nausea has just about eased (13wks3days) so dunno what I`d do if I was like you...I`m also self-employed and my hubby not working so we be well fecked.
Mink on the hair thing, our hair is supposed to not fall out as much when we`re pregnant but also don`t freak out when it gets back to normal count after and you think you`re going bald...:D
We`re all nearly coming up to scan time, we heard the heartbeat going mighty on tues morning - such a relief!
Javagal, that`s annoying I`m fully prepared to go nuts on anyone who treats me badly on this journey, obviously I`m not the first or last woman to be having a baby but it`s MY first and they better get with the programme and be as enthusiastic as me :cool: !!
Ive my scan on jan 25th and ill be just 15 weeks so do you think there`d be any chance of seeing the gender???

How'd you get on in hosp? Still though that's really tough cereal and toast for any length of time would drive anyone mad! I'm flying it today ate two large bowls of pasta two mint crisp bars and drank a litre of water... amazing

They refered me to neurologist think my epilepsy is acting up. Not good no driving for me. So no driving, no food......just loads of grumbing from me!!!

I feel your pain I can't drive or anything either... I keep trying to remind myself it will all be worth it.... baby in just under 6 months

and grumble away I certainly do... even when I don't mean to!!

kildareash · 13-01-2012 9:49pm

Gyno that scanned me yesterday said you Cldnt tell the sex till 22weeks.

Java, I'm so sorry to hear you had such a negative experience. Do u mind me asking which consultant ur under?
Dread to think what my appointment will be like on a Friday afternoon!

ash her name was R.mehta. She warm.t mean she was just very clinical and to the point. She seemed to forget i was scared and it was my first baby. Maybe it was unrealistic expectations of the perfect day. Our baby furniture arrived. If anyone wants to see let me know! The two guys that brought it put it together and everything.

kildareash · 14-01-2012 12:08am

They just see a conveyor belt of pregnant women!

I'd love to see your baby furniture if you have any pics? (I'm very nosey, but also looking for ideas!)

Mink · 14-01-2012 12:21pm

What sort of baby furniture you get java? I'm not going to have any money to get anything for months at this rate! I know we'll leave it all til I'm like 37 weeks

My brother in law is giving us a crib that he has and hopefully picking it up this weekend, it will be nice to have at least one thing like that in the house.

I don't know if anyone else feels like this but sometimes I'm sort of feeling like I'm not pregnant, just getting fat. Even when looking at baby on scan yesterday, felt a bit like she was showing me images of someone elses uterus. I just can't get over the idea that that little swimmer is inside of me. I don't think it will all feel real until I feel kicks.

When they were taking the bloods there was a trainee doing it and took her ages to find a vein, then she let the needle slip out and blood poured down my arm, onto my trousers and shoes and the floor. I think they thought I was going to freak out but I was fine, I didn't want the girl to feel bad, she's only learning. Poor thing must have been sh1tting herself that I was going to scream at her.

Starting to take iron (galfer) every other day now, hopefully that will give me a bit more energy.

Totally me too! Feels a bit surreal can`t wait till kicks start, I`ve no patience. I started a baby diary yesterday and bought a name book. Starting to let myself believe this is really happening.

javagal · 14-01-2012 1:33pm

This is my furniture, They look huge in the room I'll have to re organise.

I am finally starting to get sleep at night *Nice baby*

I feel the exact same. A few people have said to me its normal. Its especially difficult now that the symptoms have eased.

I felt the scan was even more surreal than I normally feel. I was looking at the screen watching this little blob move its arms and kick its legs and it's so hard to believe that all this is happening inside you.

I can't wait to feel the first kicks!

Love, love, love your furniture! It's beautiful, love the style.
Ours will be a mismatch of stuff, I'd imagine. There is already cream built in wardrobes in the room, and we have a pine chest of drawers and a cheapy white bedside locker from ikea, that was just to kit the room out.
Might sand down the chest of drawers and paint them cream or maybe a contrast colour. Suppose depends on the crib.

Although we've been in the house for three years, we've only tiled the main bathroom and I gave it one paint of coat about six months ago! The rest of the house is still magnolia!

Thanks ash, delighted with it. have been planning on planning for baby for a few months so we just saved up.Plus everything we buy now, buggy included will be used for the next babies!!

I feel the same way about being weirded out about baby being inside me, I think I'm imagining I'm starting to feel movement at night in bed when it's quiet, I think I'm feeling kinda like gas or an unsettled stomach but it could be all in my head,
15weeks today, time is flying..

cyning · 14-01-2012 9:31pm

I love the furniture Java its fab.... so jealous I apparently have to wait another 4 months to buy anything: I'm 15 weeks Monday. I know he's desperately nervous but does he want me buying furniture going into labour

We were in Mothercare today and I was trying to look.... dragged out of the place not to be "jinxing" anything....

Anyway seeing as I moan alot I'm going to rave a bit now!!

I wanted MacDonalds last night at half ten so he drove me half an hour there and home

Went to Limerick today, ate in Eddie Rockets and didnt get sick at all not even once!! So that was an hour and a half in the car on the way there an hour back and I ate!! I have been so sick for so long I was feeling so housebound to leave the house and just oh I dunno I was so happy

And I bought a new hoover and fridge... I wasn't even able to walk into a shop three weeks ago let alone walk around shops...

I do know its prolly a temproary high from all the glucose and vitamins I was given but I just don't care... constant nausea and vomiting is a total bitch a rest for even a day is heaven!!

Aww Cyning-delighted for you sweetie. You can finaly begin to enjoy pregnancy..Planning stuff,eating what you want, going to bed nice and early,extra moisturising, dreaming about what baby will look like and how OH will be as a daddy!!

Yay you xxx

Haha your not bad at all! I got Pabrinex via IV, its vitamin B,C Thiamine, Glucose and Riboflavin. I was also getting glucose with the fluids in my iv.

I know from reading up on hyperemesis that alot of woman find vitamin b6 can help overcome nausea: might be worth mentioning it to doc to see if you could try it? Also morning sickness is worse in women who are prone to travel sickness: thats why the travel sickness bands work for alot of women!!

Dehydration makes the sickness worse as does an empty stomach...

Personally ice cubes help: I'm getting water and it is much easier to have cold stuff. If you get that really manky taste in your mouth: mints or ice cubes made from 7up help. Bland taytos too: ready salted walkers (and it can take me up to three hours to eat a pack but they help me anyway!). There's a list here of stuff people have been able to tolerate... my doctor constantly tells me that constant nausea is worse than pain: its so difficult to deal with.

One of the hardest things for me is that smells and movement set off vomiting: so if your not feeling well try being really still, and frozen lemon is great if smells set of nausea.

I really really hope it starts to ease soon... did they say anything about how bad it is in hosp? Because anyone with epilepsy is far more prone to severe morning sickness and you are really having a crap time with it

Aw hun, you don't know how delighted I am for you! Great to hear you were able to enjoy a normal day out!

@theg81der...hope you're feeling better soon. Read someone recommending irn bru in another thread.

On a totally different note...does anyone read the what to expect forum? I don't post on it, but i use the app. I just think its so funny.
The other day there was a thread on making it 'facebook official'...one woman and her partner had deleted their facebook profiles for fear of someone posting something about their pregnancy in the early stages.

Has anyone here made it 'facebook official'?
I haven't...won't be posting my scans or bump pictures up! No offence to anyone who has, but it's just not my thing.

cyning · 14-01-2012 11:25pm

I love that app.... the other one that literally nearly makes me pee myself laughing is babybump... they are hillarious! They are so rude to one another aswell... oh I love them they keep me entertained for hours!

I am not posting anything about my pregnancy on facebook... unless i care enough to tell you in person or show you my scan then really it is none of your business!! I have friends that do but its just too much info for me to have up

I'll post up when I have babs though so thats probably slightly hypocritical of me!

kildareash · 15-01-2012 12:08am

I'm not even sure if I'd post up a pic when baby is born. I'm happy to share general pics of nights out extra but I just feel uncomfortable when friends r posting loads of pics of their kids.
Who knows, when baby comes along I cld be the exact same!

I love how they announce their leaving and its all so dramatic. Maybe the hormones highs and lows r worse on the other side of the Atlantic!

theg81der · 15-01-2012 10:07am

Thanks Cyning. Tried b6, sea bands, salt walkers ........literally everything. Things that add to probability of you getting morning sickness - epilepsy, travel sickness and migraine, have all of them. Hospital not worried because I`m not vomiting and I`m keeping down fluids so its not as bad as what you went through. I look like crap I`m constantly green.

I did! All the important people had been told in person at that stage, and we wanted to announce it to the wider audience. We're both geeks, and have lots of family and friends overseas, and use Facebook to keep in touch so I always knew it would end up on there sooner or later - better that I made the announcement than someone asking me if I still had morning sickness!

I posted a status along the lines off "Kash and Mr. Kash are embracing our inner mad scientists, and creating life!!! Mwaahahhahaha! " You know you're in the 21st century when you spend all morning thinking about what way you will announce your pregnancy on Facebook - what has the world come to!

It was really heart warming to see the congratulatory comments, and what was really nice was that a load of people popped on my dads page to congratulate my parents on becoming grandparents, so they were really chuffed too.

It will pass eventually :mad: I swear the stuff we go through when we're pregnant!! Its so frustrating though

notsobusy · 15-01-2012 1:15pm

I rang my mum to tell her and she didnt pick up the few times i rang. so i told my dad and my sister and my sister put it up on fb. my mum found out through fb because my brother read my sisters comment and ran down the stairs to tell her. i was mortified, she was a bit disappointed but then she told me that she had known for about 3 weeks as mothers seem to know these things.

kildareash · 15-01-2012 2:16pm

Great story kash, you shld try print out the page or something if your keeping a baby book.

Notsobusy, glad ur mum wasn't too upset. That's some instinct she has...my mum definately wasn't expecting it!

March11 · 15-01-2012 6:20pm

Hi all,

Was on here last Thurs posting about bio oil and the likes. Then went to the loo and found a heavy enough bleed. Between the shock, crying and shaking I managed to call the hospital, they told me to come straight over, so my sis in law drove me over and after what seemed like an eternity (bout half hour) I was scanned and they found a heartbeat, baby was asleep and they kept prodding me until they got baby to wake up and start moving around to calm my nerves. I also had a scope/internal, which showed some inflammation or something and my blood pressure was raised, but thankfully all is ok. The staff were absolutely fab, couldn't be nicer I must say, so I was told to stay off work and rest. Another tip a nurse gave me was to always bring my file with me, even if I go away for a weekend etc, just in case anything happened again. My nerves are shot at this stage, I am on constant knicker watch now.

Aww delighted everything is ok March. It's a very frightening experience that's for sure.

Rest up and Relax xx

kildareash · 15-01-2012 7:37pm

Oh march, so glad everything turned out to be ok. If this is the scares our little bundles r giving us now...what r they going to be like when they're toddling about!

Good tip tho, to bring the file with you. Suppose u never know what can happen and be great if u have all the info to hand.

silly · 16-01-2012 10:30am

Oh March, what a fright you must have got! Glad everything is ok.

I went to the dr on Thursday about headaches I've been getting, she gave me 2 days off, I was actually bored, watched everything I sky plused. I had a pain in my side Friday and sat, very strange pain so I decided to not do a tap and relax as much as I could. Pain gone now, feel great.

Re the Facebook thing. I'm not going to put if on fb, well I won't announce it, but I have no problem it being mentioned in comments etc. I'll have to ask my mom too not to "announce" she's on fb alot!
When babs is born I will ask people not to put up photos until I decide if I want to, I want to be the first. I have a sister in Japan and my brother will most probs be living in America by the time I give birth.

My cousin announced it on fb saying " I'm extending my life by 2 feet" I thought that was a nice way of tellin people.

1st scan tomorrow will be 13w+6!!! I'm so excited I could pee!!!(which can happen on a hard sneeze these days!)

I had cramps up until then, don't panic. If they are intense or catch your breath-see the doctor. Otherwise, I'd say they're just stretching pains.

silly · 16-01-2012 1:19pm

I have them since my last child (nearly 11 yrs ago!) I had my appendix taken out before that do the stretch marks came from those scars. Fairly unsightly, but in those 11 years I met the love of my life and married him 4 months ago. And he didn't seem to mind the stretch marks.
I'm not sure if I should try and prevent more stretch marks coming...can I get more I wonder?

cyning · 16-01-2012 2:14pm

15 weeks today and i still get cramps all the time... bad ones too... they drive me bananas! Some times there like period cramps, more times they are short and sharp: the only constant thing about them is there is nearly always something there!! Doc said its probably round ligament pain and not to worry... esp cuz its so much worse when I cough, sneeze or puke!

March I hope your doing okay, rest and relax for both you and babs.

I've put on 5 pounds in a week and a half :eek:: I'm sure some of that is just cuz I was so dehydrated but still.... at least it means im only 14 pounds down on pre pregnancy weight now!

Mink · 16-01-2012 2:47pm

Yay for cyning, pack them pounds on!

Glad everything went ok at hospital March, keep us posted.

I'm getting slight stretchy cramps on and off. No more nausea really but I'm still gone off coffee, chocolate, the orange squash I used to drink & a particular fabric softener I can't stand now.

I'll probably announce on Facebook in next couple weeks but you can select who gets to see it I think, or pre-block people you're not too keen knowing your personal business. It's a lot handier doing it on facebook for me as I've a load of friends in UK & states from when I used to live there. I'm also plotting the wittiest possible way of saying it

I keep saying to myself that I will not be one of those mothers who post pics of their kids & report on their every movement every 5 minutes. I may just do a token pic once a month, but again to selected people. I say this now but I could end up baby-crazy.

I got "the tears" on the weekend. I was out doing the food shop & decided to get some walking in. Well ended up with really sore hips, low blood sugar & tired & I just lost it by time I got home. Then I lost it again just before hubby got home that evening. He was like "eh, what's wrong?". There was absolutely nothing wrong with me, I just needed a cry. He thought it was very cute & said he was expecting the tears at some point. It was a bit embarrassing but I'm just going to embrace it when it happens, no harm in a bit of a hormonal cry, just makes my eyes sore for the rest of the evening :rolleyes:

Bought a pack of newborn nappies, we had to open it to inspect one and see how small it was!

silly · 16-01-2012 3:08pm

I cried at an episode of "how I met your mother" the other day.
For those that don't know it...it's a sit com.

silly · 17-01-2012 10:52am

Scan day today!

So excited! Should I ask any questions? Is it ok to eat beforehand? Appointment is just after lunch.

Kash · 17-01-2012 11:37am

Ok to eat, but drink a lot too - a full bladder pushes your uterus up and closer to the scanner thingamabob, so you get a better picture.

And... yay!!! Best of luck with it silly, can't wait to hear all about it later

javagal · 17-01-2012 12:17pm

Ahh don't drink too much. My doctor gave out my bladder was squashing baby and she couldnt see legs!!
Have any of you heard ed sheeran's small bump ??

Listen to it.Guarantee you'll cry,

That song is so sad, but the lyrics are beautiful. Wldnt recommend anyone in a fragile emotional state to be listening to it, unless u need a good cry.

I read this forum but don't post, it's quite funny the things they say, it's very american but sometimes they come out with great one-liners.

I did this whole post earlier re the NT (Nuchal Translucency) scan & it didn't go through. Not arsed re-typing it :mad: Went great, just took sonographer a while to get baby in right position to scan the little folds on back of the nexk, they're only 2mm wide so you can imagine how tricky that is. Especially as I'd had a breakfast of champions of a donut & coffee so baby was leap frogging everywhere.

Anyway, scan was all normal, just waiting on bloods results to back that up.

I`m 14 weeks today woohoo

I`m having mad cramps today so hopefully it`s just stretching.
I`ve started pregnancy pilates last week, its not my thing but I`m doing it with a friend who`s 6 weeks further along than myself so its good for the weekly catchup even if I`m not concentrating on my pelvic floor!!:rolleyes:
I`ve just gotten my energy back and my tastebuds are working so I`m back to eating nice food again and back playing badmington now 4 evenings a week. I`m doing a bit of walking too.
March glad it was a false alarm, get plenty of rest when you can and let the housework wait til August

Snap (kind of) I'm starting Pregnancy Yoga when I hit 14 weeks. Luckily the class is very near me and you can just pay per class, don't have to sign up to a course etc.

Well done to everyone who had a scan today! Wohoo!

I had an appointment with my obs today they must have finally looked at my file and decided that actually being epileptic and being on meds for epilepsy is kind of important. So now he wants to see me every 2 weeks. He couldn't understand why he was only seeing me now at 16 weeks!!!! I felt like exploding at him. Lol. But he was really nice and I'm am much happier.

I had a scan yesterday in Newry and a Triple Blood test because I missed the time frame for the Nuchal fold scan. So just waiting on bloods to come back. But everything looks great.
