wolfpawnat I've had that since Friday. It was so bloody sore on Sunday and Monday if I had to cough. I went to a chemist on Sunday and the pharmacist said she couldn't really give me anything
I got tyrozets for my throat and they really helped. By Monday evening I didn't have that stabbed with glass feeling. I'm also sucking the halls lozenges.
I've been drinking hot lemon and honey, taking teaspoons of honey, gargling with salt water. I've still got a cough but it's not as bad as it was. As soon as this baby is born I'm hitting the exputex! Another reason why I want it out asap0 -
have really sore back and side pains, feel like i need to stretch out but when i do there's no relief. I've felt a few little movements since last night but wont rest until i actually feel her under my hands
If the pains are because she's getting bigger and stretching out, it's going to be a sore few months! 0 -

Are you doing pre-natal pilates or yoga? I'd really recommend doing a class. I've been doing Pilates since 14 weeks and it's like a tonic for my body. I go into class a complete wreck a d I come out feeling lighter. I went yesterday even though I was heavy and sore from deep pressure and still found it helped a lot.
Totally agree - I go to Pilates once a week and this week I was almost crying from the soreness in my ribs - had a great stretch in there and I breezed / waddled out of the place a new woman!
My moan is my hormones... Cos I'm not allowed moan anymore about being impatient Etc - I'm in a compulsory zen like state
Jaysus tho im here organising my daughters old new born clothes and I'm bawling - keep getting flashbacks etc and then keep getting overwhelmed there'll be a new sister I'm them soon!
At least I finally got off my backside to do it.... At 38 weeks I think it was time I got organised!!
Smelt my bottle of clary sage oil to see what it's like as was gonna out it in the bath at the weekend - it's just rank.... No wonder its meant to induce labour the baby just prob tries to escape the smell!!! It's like nutty lavender!
Started on the pineapple - if nothing else my 14 month old loves it!!!
Hope ye all feeling better from the colds etc soon!
Any more pains etc HS? I want u to go cos I'm after u... Haha!0 -

I was traumatised by it but the positive side was that my little man arrived a week early. Think he wanted to come out to see what all the fuss was about!!!
This is good!!! Not your traumatic experience obviously but the fact it put the goo on him to come out and investigate
at least given I've known this girl 20years I can give her a dig if it gets too much! She's not going to go too wild, just the perimeter :P 0 -

hey girls, really sorry about this, but have tried my best to not worry, but it's been over two days, i'm sure i've felt kicks but she's just not kicking like she used to. i know they can get tired, but even if i eat something sugary i still feel nothing. i'm pretty much stationary in work (at a computer desk) so i do have chances to feel her, and i haven't. Do you think i should just ring the hospital even though it'll be my third time going in as "emergency" and i've my appoitment next week? I'm trying so hard not to overthink it, but just fact the strength of the kicks has gone down as well as the amount has me a bit paranoid sorry 0

If my friend wasn't able to wax I don't know what id do, she's the only one I feel comfy with gettin in that position especially at this stage! She has one of the special pregnant lady tables too with the bump cut out will be able to lie on my belly for a bit! 0 -

Just back - everything is ok, she's moving lots even though i can't feel it. I most definitely got myself in a panic and the midwife on the phone scared me even further - she didn't say anything like "i'm sure you're grand, just come in to make sure" she basically shouted "come in straight away" so bloody emotions started as soon as i hung up the phone. i do this terrible thing by feeling guilty for worrying people and i know i shouldn't, n my mum rushed down n waterworks started again i'm so exhausted from this emotional rollarcoaster. i'm glad i went down, i knew i wouldn't be able to relax until i heard the heartbeat. i never thought my body was a good one - i'm overweight, am sick a lot, etc, so i'm afraid somehow something will happen to baby... but she's ok and that's the main thing. I'm doing a good job and i have to keep remembering that. I might buy a doppler to give myself that reassurance at home, although i know they can do the opposite too... Just happy she's ok. Thanks for being there. 0

So glad to hear everything is ok and don't feel bad for worrying people or asking for help! Were you having trouble feeling her because of where your placenta is?
It's a scary time for us all
I'm afraid something will happen to the baby too even though I have absolutely no reason to think that. Apart from turning me into a vomit monster for four months he's been so good and healthy. It's natural to worry! You are doing a good job and trying to keep as healthy as possible.
Sounds like a doppler might be a good idea to reassure yourself - although as you said it might scare you a bit too. I think that's earlier on though that you can have trouble hearing things. I know my GP uses a doppler at my appointments with him and finds things easily enough (although he is a doctor!)0 -

It could have been where my placenta is lying, the nurse was up the top of my uterus and said she was feeling loads of movement but i couldn't feel anything. it's mostly right down in my pelvis that i feel things.
i know i shouldn't feel guilty for making people worry, but when people worry about me i get more upset, it's twisted. but i'm glad she actually came down.
They seemed to get the heartbeat pretty quickly with me too. I'll look into them and see where i can get one.0 -

Glad everything's ok! Never feel bad for ringing the hospital or going into them, that's exactly what they're there for.
I got a little Doppler called angel sounds on eBay but think you can get them on amazon too, was about €20. I used it the odd time for reassurance in the second trimester and to hear when she hiccuped more so in the third they are great for piece of mind but also be careful as if baby is hiding it can be hard to hear the hb so might upset you a little as you said!
Mind yourself this evening and don't be so hard on yourself! This pregnancy stuff is tough, you are doing great.0
