I am in the bits. Totally off food, threw up really badly this morning. Any thought of food has my tummy going mad. I honestly don't know what to do.
I'm the same today. I actually went a few days without vomiting but this morning I threw up my breakfast all over the bathroom cos I didn't make it to the toilet in time I wanted to cry cos I really thought the vomiting was dying down. Had to go to work then without brushing my teeth as dentist told me not to brush them after vomiting again! 0 -

Euuuu what awful advice! I don't mean wrong, just awful to deal with. I am lucky that when I vomit it's always an empty or nearly empty tummy. Just acid and retching and retching!! In general I am a lot better, but today is rough. Having my first bit of orange now and cooking some pasta. Fingers crossed!
All worth it in the end! Right? Right?
Booking the gentle birthing workshop today though. OH organised a weekend off work.0 -

I know, it's pretty manky but dentist said that the main damage is caused when you brush after vomiting cos you're brushing the acids into the enamel. So I just had to pop some mint chewing gum in my mouth & head to work!
Ah great, when are you doing the workshop? I've been listening to the CDs but I keep listening at bedtime & falling asleep during them!
I'm feeling the tiredness but I have the benefit of being able to veg on the couch all evening when I get home from work as no other babies to look after. So it's manageable at the moment0 -

End of March too. It was the only weekend he could get off. I am not stalking you or anything! Going to pay in full so will hopefully get the CD's in a few days!
I feel really guilty about any moaning when I get reminded of the mums on their second AND working full time. Tell myself to get a grip!! Then again might as well take full advantage, because if I ever have a second (massive IF
) I won't have the luxury! 0 -

Ah cool are you going to same location as me?
I don't know how I would have managed the last few months if I had any other children to look after! I spend 2.5 hrs a day commuting so it would've been a nightmare, at least my evenings are free to relax when I get home. Def enjoy it while you still can 0 -

Yep, Blackrock is closest for us too, that's why I wanted to reassure you I wasn't stalking you!!
2.5hours? Holy mackerel. You hero!0 -

Ah it'll actually be nice having someone I know there, even if it's just from the Internet
It's 2.5 hrs altogether, as in 1hr 15 each way, but yeah it's tough going, especially the early mornings as that's when I'm at my most sick. I'm already starting to count down til maternity leave!0 -

Ah in fairness don't feel guilty. We all got to enjoy resting in our first pregnancies too so you deserve your turn. Plus I haven't been anywhere near as sick as you or greenorchard which makes it a totally different ball game0 -

I wouldn't feel guilty about moaning!! Pregnancy, whether it's your first or your 10th, is hard!! Especially if you are still suffering from sickness at the halfway mark. My sickness didn't go fully until around 20 weeks last time but each week from about 14 it eased a bit more. This time I had a lot of nausea but only vomited about 10 times. Was mainly empty retching and it went A LOT earlier. Still get the odd bout of nausea if I'm particularly tired or hungry.
With regards the teeth, I was told to rinse my mouth well with water, after vomiting, wait awhile, rinse again and then brush them.0 -
Sorry to hear about your teeth Greenford. I had heard before that you shouldn't brush after throwing up , same with drinking fizzy drinks and things like that. I think you have to leave it for an hour.
It's strange that so many are still getting sick. I am sick still but not as often. I seem to get a few good days a week now.
I have a little one to look after too but thank god I'm at home and not working. I worked during my first and it was hard so well done to everyone especially if your doing 50 plus hours (I did that on my first and I was like a zombie )
I had put on quite a lot of weight at the beginning. By 12 weeks I had put on 12 pounds but thankfully I stopped gaining weight and I haven't put on any more and I am now 20 weeks and my tummy has rounded alot in the last two so it's kind of levelled out.
I also noticed that I have alot of movement this week. I have been feeling movement since week 11 although some people and things I have read on the Internet say that's not possible but I know what it feels like from the last time.
Any of the second timers feel movement early this time?
Also if its your first, did you feel movement yet? I think on my first I felt it at about 20 weeks.0 -

Hi All,
I've been a bit quiet on this forum because I seem to be the only one who isn't sick and I didn't want to rub it in! Sorry ladies!
I think I've been feeling movement. It's quite high up but someone told me that that's where the nerve endings are so that's where you feel it. Dunno myself but it's a fluttering feeling below my ribs that I've never felt before. I've been having since about week 18, I'm 20 weeks now.0 -

Nettie, don't be worrying about that, I wouldn't wish being sick on anyone!
I thought I felt a couple of flutters on Saturday but last night I felt some definite movement. I was lying on the couch & felt a few flutters over a few minutes & then a rolling sensation which I think may have been the baby doing a somersault! Lovely to be feeling something happening
Congrats Jurr, is this your first?0 -

Tis indeed! She can feel herself moving in there since last week, I'm still yet to feel a kick or a punch! Exciting times ahead!0 -

Oh congrats Jurrr. Ive my scan on Friday and cant wait. Clare98 how did you get on? Yours was today wasnt it?
Feeling movement since about week 17. Definitely much earlier than with my first which was about 22 weeks I think.
DrDoc I dont know how you manage 50hours a week. Thats really hectic. You must be super woman underneath :-)
Ha far from superwoman!!
Feeling regular movement from about 17 weeks though this ones not nearly as active as the last one so far
That's great that everything was good at your scan Clare98, it's a nice relief and exciting too.
I have mine tomorrow, bit nervous but looking forward to it too.
Good luck Nead21 on Friday and everyone else with upcoming scans!0 -
Had a GP appointment this morning so got to hear the heartbeat again, lovely! He also prescribed me medication for the sickness, I'm going to try avoid taking it too often, but it's great to finally have something for the very bad days.
Have been feeling more movement too, got a few gentle little pokes on my way home from work yesterday 0 -
