Having a huge argument with himself at the moment so a bit glum about that. These things happen but you still feel crappy.
Trying and failing to sort a hospital bag. I really need to cop on, but I really feel like I couldn't care less

I think you and I are the same, pukers to the core so I reckon I'll spent half my labour with my head in a bowl. So looking forward to it!
I can't wait to see him, so happy for you!!! :-D
We do share a puking bond!
Won't be going again for a while anyway - can't face the puking again for a bit.
Hyperemesis plus side though - I weigh less than I did when I got pregnant less than 24 hours after giving birth!0 -

The mister and I have all but said we won't go again, I definitely am in no rush and I don't think he could face it, he gets so upset for me. Bless him. Given that I'm 37 now, time is against us and thoughts of enduring mega vomits while looking after a toddler just don't bear thinking about. Never say never I suppose, but it's not likely.
As for the weight, last time I checked I was at my pre pregnancy weight :-) Granted I still have 3 months to go but I'm optimistic. Watch now I'll balloon...0 -

If it's any consolation I had my little man today and he weighed in at 8lbs 1oz so don't think the hyperemesis affected him at all! He 's a little bouncer. I did puke a lot after delivery though (despite not eating or really drinking all day) so just a heads up on that in case you're the same apparently the drug they give you to help expel the placenta can make you nauseous, especially if you're already prone to it.
Hope you feel better soon Wolfpawnat - you're almost there!
congrats murdy, delighted for you!0 -

Hello Lady! wrote: »Congrats MurdyWurdy!
my moan today is that I am now, at 11 weeks, succuming to morning sickness!
After 9 weeks of horrendous IBS symptoms which made me feel absolutely wretched, week 10 saw a big allieviation in those symptoms (not gone completely, but much much better. Was even able to go to Bon Jovi and enjoy myself!). But now during week 11 the IBS is still manageable BUT I have started properly vomiting with morning sickness. It is like motion sickness and I am worse if I am rushing or driving. Puking a few times a day, and managing to fight it the rest of the time. Was sick 5 times today so far (3 times before I left the house, once enroute to work and once in work). Yesterday evening on the way home I had to pull over 3 times to avail of the plastic bag that now regularly accompanies me everywhere.
Yayyyy! IBS is calmed down. Booooo! Morning (all day) sickness has replaced it.
Have a feeling that the much longed for week 12 will not bring the relief I was hoping for.
On a positive note, I only have 1 more week of progesterone injections, tablets and gel. So at least that is something to look forward to! No more alarm going off every evening reminding me to stab myself with an inch long needle into my bum!
Get dramamine i think its called. My gp recommended it to me. theyre tablets for motion sickness and they really helped my morning sickness 0 -
If its any consolation, I dry retched for 15 minutes this morning after a fight between my toothbrush and my back molars!
Oh god yeah - brushing teeth is an ordeal for me too! I'm convinced that by the end of this I'll be a toothless hag!Get dramamine i think its called. My gp recommended it to me. theyre tablets for motion sickness and they really helped my morning sickness
thanks for the tip - will give that a go.0 -

Also getting really annoyed at the way people speak to me about not knowing the gender. It is my bloody choice. My partner and I decided we don't want to know and the way people in our family and outside it are talking down to us is driving me mad. The baby is the same gender now as it was when the X or Y chromosome sperm fertilized the egg, which is the same as it will be when it is born. We just want the surprise and the excitement! :mad:
Talking down to you? Weird, we're not finding out the gender either and everyone just finds it exciting, they like the surprise. Maybe turn it on them and ask for guesses as to the sex, winner gets to hold baby. 0 -

Yes, it's weird, being asked "What did you forget to ask?" and "Sure you already have one, the surprise is gone" "Sure you have had loads of scans, ask" I just get annoyed. These days when people ask me do I know what I am having I just say "a baby hopefully" I think they are starting to get the hint I am getting peeved. Obviously I do this only to the ones who have asked a few times and not people asking the first time.0 -
Ow ow ow so sore today, was rushing around in work coz it was hectic!! Forgot that I cant rush around like before n now I'm in agony! Can't wait to get home and shower and relax!

I asked both my chemist and my midwife about this and they said they don't recommend it. Apparently it is part of the anti-histamine family and it can reduce fetal heart rate.
I suppose if your MS is quite bad and a doctor recommends it, it is different as he/she will weigh up the risk v's benefit. I think the risk is quite small, but still enough to require a doctor's advice on it.
I will mention it to my GP next time I see her - probably next week when I am due to finish all my progesterone. If she says its ok then I'll get it, but given that she didn't want to give me an anti-histamine for a rash, I doubt she'll go for it. 0 -

Had to call in sick today. Can't stop puking for long enough to have a shower, let alone face the hour-long bus journey into work.
On the bright side, I'm 12 weeks tomorrow, so all the nausea and vomiting and fatigue will magically vanish from midnight tonight ... right? :pac:0 -

My moan is that OH is gone away for the weekend, and my stupid damn hormones are making me clingy and needy and resentful and I'm that close to ringing him and demanding that he come home to me! WTF?! I'm never like this!
I'm the opposite, I want mine to go away. He is very down recently and is annoying the hell out of me. I should care, but I actually cannot. 0 -
Braxton Hicks all evening, they are not sore, just irritating, what is sore is the fact my stomach is going hard and the baby is fighting it by pushing it's little bum and legs out as they are happening. Little divil!!!!
Also my right ankle is fairly swollen now. I purposely wore no socks today, only flip flops and didn't even leave the house, but it is actually fairly puffed up 0 -

Yeah it's funny, in a not so funny way, when they do that! You feel like your stomach will split open! Thr little bump her bum makes when she stretches out fits in my hand though so cuteness helps with the pain! My mum said my brother wriggled all through labour n that it hurt quite a bit :P
Have you got your feet raised?0 -
