We are going away with my family this weekend for my 30th and I am feeling a bit sorry for myself. I am pretty steady at being sick 5 times a day, can't do much in the spa and a fancy dinner has no appeal
I just keep telling myself it's a blessing
Penny D, how do you have the energy for an 8 month old???
It's a testing time all right with an 8 month old. Luckily I was all about the routine pretty early on and started at that with her when she was 8 weeks old.
Now she wakes at 7am, plays in her cot for about 15/20 minutes and we pick her up then. Breakfast, a little play time, get her dressed and it's back to bed for her first nap at 9:30am. She sleeps for a kit 90 minutes then and I chill out.
When she gets up then at 11am we go for a walk or to the shops and it's lunchtime when we get back. She has her lunch and a little bottle and it's bed again at 1pm for another 90/120 minutes.
Then it's play time again and tea and a bottle at 4pm- occasionally another short nap or we walk to meet my husband from the bus and we're all back ho,e by 6:30/7pm.
It's a quick bath and bed and a bottle again between 7:30/8pm and that's it's for the night.
She is a great little girl about her sleeping and eating snd isn't a difficult baby to be around ........... Most of the time, there are always certain days that are off days.
We also swim one a week with water babies and go to mum and baby cinema too.0 -

My first app is the same Pooch
I really need to get a handle on this sickness. It is rapidly turning into all day puking. Tmi bug was sick in the car park this morning and managed to get myself
I am trying the bands, fingers, constant little amounts of foods, crackers before I get up. Really none of it seems to help 0 -

Somedays I have been throwing up every 15 minutes or so, soul destroying as it's going on for 4 weeks straight now. I think for extreme morning sickness the holistic methods like acupressure (check), ginger tablets (check) just don't cut it.
The only things that have been helping me are:
1) Remembering that morning sickness normally means elevated levels of hormones which is a good thing for the pregnancy
2) Remembering that baby takes all they need, so the only one suffering from poor nutrition is me! i.e. less guilt
3) Snacking every 1.5 - 2 hours seems to help reduce vomiting, not nausea (sometimes even during night), if I let my stomach become empty it's a lost cause.
4) Just mind yourself and let yourself be minded if at all possible. If you can find anything at all that you can eat and keep down, even if it's "bad" for you, just roll with it.
5) If you're finding yourself very weak, with low BP or are losing a lot of weight, don't just accept it! Go to your GP/midwife/consultant and let them know! And be vocal, there are measures (from IV fluids to certain medications) that can help. Unfortunately in this country you have to fight and kick up a fuss to be taken seriously (and sometimes go in with research done and figures ready to quote)
6) Backlit computer screens and my iPhone screen set me off for some reason too, so trying to avoid as much as possible.
7) The really bad days, I have listened to the hypnobirthing Gentlebirth tracks for relaxation in early pregnancy and although they don't remove nausea, they help me sleep and feel a bit less miserable.
Hope you feel better soon0 -

Hi all,
This whole post is probably tmi- sorry in advance. Has anyone been to the doc about their sickness?
I am throwing up 3-7 times a day not huge amounts but whatever is in my tummy. I am struggling to drink liquids as it seems to make me sick and the last two days I have diarrhea
My OH thinks I should see the doc but I'm not convinced, in my head it's all normal pregnancy stuff but as its my foray pregnancy I'm really not sure.
Can anyone offer me advice please? I'm 8weeks and 3 days0 -

If I were you I'd definitely go to the doctor with that. The loss of fluids through vomiting and diarrohea and your inability to drink anything needs attention.0 -

I'm starting to get the odd dose of nausea now since last Thursday, thought I had gotten away with it. Still keeping everything down though. Not as tired but still sleeping early but surviving without naps. Didn't feel pregnant so did a test yesterday and I'm still pregnant (crazy I know) and I still am. Boob pain has eased a bit and I'm sleeping through the night a bit better. Roll on July 7th for scan 0

Me again! Had another trip to holles street yesterday thankfully all is fine, saw a consultant this time and she thinks this might be normal for me in pregnancy. They scanned again and baby is fine. The took some tests which they are expecting to be clear.
One thing she said was no flying, was due to head off for a girly weekend today and she said no at the end of the day I don't mind as baby is number 1 priority but I was surprised. She thinks no flying at all during pregnancy, will double check when I see my actual consultant in a couple of weeks.
How is everyone else doing?0 -

Glad to hear all is ok, that's a shame about your weekend though. I had really only heard about no flying in later pregnancy which makes sense. I've to fly shortly for work 0 -

Glad to hear all is well, it must be a stressful time for you all the same. It's a pity you're missing out on the weekend but maybe you can organise another one in Ireland?
Re: flying during pregnancy, some doctors are totally set against it no matter the stage of your pregnancy and others are ok with it. If you add in pregnancy complications then even more are going to say no to it.
Overall it's an easy one to give up I'd think.0 -

Hey - has anyone ever gone through a phase where they no longer feel pregnant? Most of my symptoms seem to have dissappeared - nausea is gone and I'm not as hungry as I was. Also not as tired at all. Wondering if its something I should get checked out or if I should do another pregnancy test just to check if I am still pregnant? I havent had any spotting or anything though so I might just be being paranoid

Yep :-)
Last time around I remember being so upset one night at the thoughts that I'd never feel like myself ever again that I had a massive hissy fit and went to be at 8pm.
Next day I got up and felt fantastic, like I had so much energy, nausea was gone, no hint of a bump either and then I panicked that I'd imagined all of my symptoms, was no longer pregnant and what the hell was I going to do.
So like the sensible person I wasnt I went out and bought a pregnancy test.
Turns out I was then at week 14 and had just had my second trimester energy bump.
I decided then to make the most of this time and did loads of things and enjoyed myself immensely before the third trimester and its inherent tiredness kicked it.0 -

It's hard to stop thinking and over thinking everything that happens to our bodies while pregnant.
After a while I just decided to not worry until I had a reason to worry. If I was eating properly, taking my pregnacare, hospital visits were going well and I was feeling well then there was nothing to worry about.
It was quite the relief to go about my day that way and allowed me to enjoy my pregnancy.0 -
