My GP prescribed me medication at my last appointment and that was without me asking for anything. He asked me how I was feeling & when I said I was still sick he straight away offered me a prescription. I wasn't going to say no! I'm still nauseous every day but I haven't vomited in a week so I'm hoping I'm over the worst of it now. I've only taken the tablets once but it's nice to know they're there if I have another bad day of vomiting.
Thanks greenorchard! Yea i think I will just say it to him because he so mentioned to me before that it was no problem.
He is a new gp for me and my last one was the kind that expected you to suffer something out as long as possible before taking anything. This one seems more sympathetic so no harm in saying it

How are you feeling now Wholeheartedly, are you any better?
Overall I would say good, especially compared to a few months ago. Still experiencing nausea everyday though, mainly it's a sign I must eat or if I over do it, like I "power walked" up a hill at the end of a walk today and was in bits with sickness after it. Also being in the car straight after eating, especially in the morning. Also had to give up the vitamins I was taking as they were making me throw up. But much happier in myself and that is due to lack of 24 hour a day sickness, I know you understand!
Just think of the easy babas we are going to have to make up for it

Ha! Here's hoping Glad to hear you're a bit better, hopefully the nausea will disappear fully for you soon 0 -
I have been much better the last few days. I have gone a full week without getting sick and even feel my energy levels coming back.
Other than that, I have been very thirsty especially I want milk, and it has to be the full fat stuff and im also craving fresh oranges which are not to great for heartburn but they are so tasty
(not sure if they are cravings, I just know I want them)0 -

Hi Ladies,
Just wondering how everyone is doing on the weight gain front? I was very active before getting pregnancy and ate fairly healthily but enjoyed my treats.
I just haven't the energy or the motivation to do as much exercise now and my weight has shot up! I'm way beyond the maximum weight gain recommended.
Any ideas as to how to get the motivation back? Anybody else in my position?
Hey nettie, it's a shame your energy hasn't come back. Mine is still less than before conceiving but better than the first few months. Mostly just walking, small cycles, some swimming. We mind a dog during the week and that's helpful for motivation! Maybe borrow a friends dog? or a walking group?
I am a healthy eater, but am also above the weight gain, but I can't really see where it is! Mostly Bump and Boobs, feel normal other than that. I think some people just gain differently, some throughout the whole pregnancy and some more quickly near the end.
Have you checked with your midwife? I have an appointment next week and plan to have a chat about the weight. Couldn't be eating much less to be honest, still not that hungry!0 -

I'm going to the workshop in 2 weeks so will let you know how it goes. Have been listening to the CDs the last few weeks though I need to start listening earlier in the day as I put them on when I'm going to bed & keep falling asleep & not hearing most of it! Though that's a good complaint for me - I've always been an insomniac so it's nice to be falling asleep quickly most nights these days
Haven't had any back or pelvic pain yet though I found I was getting hip pain from lying on my side at night recently - I'm usually a stomach sleeper so sleeping on my side for long periods really hurts my hips. Extra pillows seems to have sorted this though cos I've been grand the last few days.0 -

Im also finding it hard to sleep on my side, Ive read that its good to sleep on your left hand side so I try but I always wake up on my back! This might not be comfortable when the bump gets bigger though. Lots of pillows does seem to help
I get quite bad pain around my abdomen when walking now unless I'm walking really slowly so I hope this doesn't last the next 4 months.
Roesy - I didnt realise that it would be 3-5 nights in hospital! I asked my doctor yesterday about a home birth and he didnt recommend it as its my first baby so not technically low risk. I have read a bit about it and it looks just as safe as hospital birth if all went well first time round. Also I'm sure I read on the nmh website that it can be organised up to 28/32 weeks. I would like to avoid intervention as much as possible so thats why I wanted a home birth but I think its best to chose wherever you feel most comfortable.0 -

In Cork 3 nights seems to be standard. I was in for 4 last time because I was induced so 3 nights after she was born.0 -

I'm a big back sleeper normally, up until about 3 weeks ago (34 weeks now) I was still able to comfortably sleep on my back when I wanted, I usually switch between that and each side. But now I can't sleep on my back or even sit in a recliner without my breathing being affected and getting dizzy, so I definitely think your body will tell you when you shouldn't be doing it or it won't be comfortable/sustainable.0 -

Sometimes I feel like it's dragging & other times I can't believe how quick it's flying! Bad nausea is back with a bang today, hoping it's just cos I've very tired, fingers crossed.
Am feeling lots of movement too which is lovely. Husband has only felt one or two little kicks so far though cos baby keeps trolling him by stopping kicking as soon as he puts his hand on my belly 0 -

It's crazy that you still get nausea. Could it last the full 40 weeks? Fingers crossed it doesn't obviously. I'm shattered this week too and I thought I'd feel like I had all my energy back but I'm sleeping loads. Even napping after work and still sleeping at night although I do wake every time I have to turn. I find I just burn out really quickly these days.
Isn't it gas how they stop kicking when someone else tries to feel it. It's like they know. I had a very peppery dinner on Saturday and I could see my little bump going crazy and easily recorded 5 or 6 kicks. It either loves or hates pepper.
Apparently it can last 40 weeks but I think it's rare enough so hopefully not! I did have a few good days there so I'm hoping I'll be ok tomorrow. I haven't vomited in over 2 weeks either so that alone is a massive improvement. Lots of gagging today but kept my food down.
Yeah it's funny alright, I'll have my hand there & it'll be kicking away but as soon as it's my husband's hand it doesn't want to know! I got a few strong kicks there while I was in a meeting earlier. The movement had been pretty gentle for the most part up to now cos I have an anterior placenta. Definitely getting stronger now! That's funny about the pepper. Mine either loves or hates going on the bus home from work cos it's always really active then 0 -

So today was effectively my last day in work. I'm taking annual leave until the beginning of may then my consultant has signed me off work for the last 2 months due to exhaustion. My workload has just gotten bigger and bigger and it's been a bit of a nightmare.
Now I can concentrate on being pregnant and try to get some enjoyment out of it. Relief!
When I had my first child, my contract wasn't extended in the job I was in at the time. I finished up about a month and a half before the baby. It was great to be off but I had been so busy with work that I was kind of shocked to have nothing to do.
I became a bit of a cleaning freak haha which I now know was nesting. I was constantly cleaning and organising. I'd take all the babies clothes that i had bought out of the press and reorganise them, packed my hospital bag and unpacked it about 50 times, kept writing out lists of things to be done which I don't really normally do 0 -
