my mind is at rest thanks guys
all i seem to want to eat is ice cream and or ice pops and i can eat them all day
Yup, thats ok! I was so sick at some points I couldnt even drink water without puking. Icepops saved my life, as they kept me hydrated. If you can, try and get real fruit juice pops.0 -

Went to the doc today with shooting pains in my left abdomen.. He found traces of blood and white cells in my urine so I was sent into the Rotunda.. Turns out I may have a urinary tract infection and they've put me on Amoxicillin and I have to go back to my GP tomorrow for more tests..
They also said my blood pressure is quite high so I have to go to back to the anti natal clinic in 4 weeks for a check up and they want me to attend my GP twice weekly in the meantime to monitor it
I got a scan though and the baby looks fine.. Playing happily in mammys belly so the day wasn't a total fiasco

glad your scan was good the stress of the infection is enough to raise the blood pressure
make sure to drink plenty of water gallons of it i've had a couple of infections and have stopped drinking tea as i was also swollen in my fingers and ankles so now its just water water water and then some more water doesnt help with the peeing at nite but at least no pains due to infection 0 -

Due on the 14th ..Baby hasnt engaged yet and my heartburn is worse than ever
God even reading what you have been up to has tired me out Target :eek:
Maybe its coz i have an arse jammed under my ribs and cant lie down withour feeling sick resulting in no sleep..(Hating it when ppl make the joke and sure its just getting you used to it for when the baby comes ..Hahahaha NO!!) Not funny..:(
Am back in hospital on 7th gona ask for a sweep..Dont think they will oblige but its worth a shot..Plus baby measured two weeks ahead size wise on the last scan so who knows..0 -

OK, it's only a little moan but I'm sooooo bloated. I swear if you stuck a pin in my the air would come whooshing out.
It's completely my own fault because I've been eating too much bread which always makes me bloated but I just seem to have gone off everything. I can't even face my usual breakfast of strawberries and yoghurt.
I'm also wrecked tired. Myself and my OH went into town on Saturday and did lots of walking around and I've been wrecked ever since. I was good for nothing on Sunday and I've been sleeping badly so I'm waking up tired.
My boobs are hhuuggee too! Although that isn't really a moan as I've never had big boobs before. However I'm going to a wedding in a week and I wanted to wear a dress I had from last year and it just about fits in the boob area so if I grow any more I'm not getting into that dress.
Oh the joys! 0 -

Hello everyone
First time poster here but long time lurker. Im 17+1 today on my first baby.
Is anyone else finding it hard to cope with weight gain? Im a big girl as it is and just find Im struggling not to be annoyed when I put on. Ive put on about 4lbs i think but i dread to think of whats to come. Ive been walking, swimming and eating fairly ok (I have been treating myself mind you! so as of today im stopping that)
I could do with loosing a few stone rather than gaining ..... just curious how everyone feels about this.0 -

GOOD LUCK TARGET!!! Can't wait to hear back from you!
No, they really only want you in hospital when you are dilating and t here is definate stuff happening. I was in a slow labour for 4 days, started the 17th and she didnt arrive till the 21st. They didn't even want to see me in the delivery ward till the 20th...and even then it was technically the 21st as it was going on 1 am!
I went to the same antenatal classes. My contractions actually came on at 5 mins apart lasting 40 seconds...i skipped all the big breaks! I went straight in and was told that they really don't want to see you until contractions are like 3 minutes apart and you are having difficulty breathing! I guess they just say that in ante natal classes as most woman are first time mums and might be nervous. It's good to go in and get checked out at any rate!0 -

Hey thinnyminnie,
best of luck with everything i wouldnt say i was a big girl to start with but others would i was size 16 big hips, bum and thighs (damn my nannys genes) but did pile it on im now 35wks and put on about 2 stone with i think is fairly okay i did what your doing at the start walking, swimming and healthy eating but at the end of the day your going to gain no matter what you do. i dont drive so have to walk everywhere anyway which in this weather is a nightmare the old feet are starting to look like they belong to shrek
when i go to the hospital the doctor keeps telling me i should be on a diet which is easy for him to say and at the beginning i did feel guilty for being fat as they say and for trying to ignore cravings eventually came to conclusion this is the only time in my life when im not going to be watching my weight once baba is here i will walk, run and swim my ass off and going to try breast feed as it helps with weight i've also made my sisters promise that they will do women's mini marathon with me next year so that is a big incentive to loose it after all it takes 9 mths to put the weight on so it should take at least that to get it off and the extra i was carrying before hand too
its only now that the weight is an issue i roll in and out of bed like a whale and trying to get off the sofa is an effort in itself not to mention the half hour struggle to put my runners on (at least i break into a sweat and im classing that as exercise hehehe)
as long as you eat healthy and dont deprive yourself of a bit of chocolate every now and then after all a happy you is a happy baby 0 -

Thank you so much for that im so worried at the minute the OH is off for the next two weeks and im on my own dreading it tbh really dont want him to go but we have no choice every little ache and pain is freaking me out just finished my hospital bag and have money for taxi so i know i should be calm but just dont want to have to do this on my own....but its nice to know that i can be at home for days in labour as that will give him time to get the hell home if necessary 0 -

Don't worry! I was the same. I had horrible pregnancy and was in and out of false labour the whole last trimester. It infuriated me at the time, but it is very true...when you are really going into the real deal you'll KNOW!
Just head into hospital whenever YOU feel like you need to. I was glad I went in at the 5-10 mins apart as it gave me the reassurance and confidence I needed as a first time mum.
Hope it goes well for you! xx0 -
Not really a moan specifically related to pregnancy but my OH got made redundant on Monday It couldn't come at a worse time with No. 2 due at the end of August. I am a real worrier by nature and feel extremely upset and stressed which I know isn't good for me or the baby. Had awful pains yesterday evening and have been getting sick quite a bit.
We have meetings tomorrow with the bank and credit union to see if we can come to some kind of arrangement on our loans for a few months while OH tries to find another job.0 -
