Plus my extra pounds gained is showing in a lovely double chin now. Puffy cheeks, double chin, waddling like a constipated duck. Could I be any more attractive to my husband right now?
That describes me to a tee at the moment. If it puts my husband off me temporarily it's not so bad as there's just nothing sexy about being constipated
Aw silly I was the same last night, cried at every programme I watched
Ooh cyning I'm not impressed at your shop being out of mint crisps,especially not since you're only starting to come through the other side of your morning sickness (goes off to stick box after eights on shopping list :pac:)
Dublinlady I'm the same with the racing mind at bedtime. finally got to sleep at 2am Tuesday night, after 1am last night. better switch off my busy mind tonight as have 6:30am start to do nct in the morning

U know it doesn't sound great but steam inhalation really helped me! Hot water in a basin of water and a towel over ur head! Good for ur skin anyway
Also drink honey in hot water - helps to coat the throat etc.
Sterimar nasal spray is just saline and good for clearing the nose!0 -

Back pain. grrr. When I stand up. When I sit down. When I bend, stretch, carry something, when I'm lying down. Every time I wake up during the night to go to the loo, I find it hard to get back to sleep because I'm so uncomfortable. Using pillows to support the bump was helping for a while but now they just make things more awkward.

I'm sorry, I actually laughed at this cos it's the exact sort of thing that would happen to me :pac: sure give the sewing a go, it's not like anyone will be able to see the quality of the stitching. Or failing that, try to find some knickers that are the same colour as the jeans 0 -

Lol poor Dublinlady, should we keep an eye on the news in case there are reports of a semi naked preggers woman wandering around Dublin? :P:D
I feel your pain, I have (few) maternity clothes but they're not great, I'll be living in leggings for the next 3 months at this rate!
Grapefruit Moon - I've found lately fresh mango or pineapple works wonders for the old constitution. You can get laxulose over the counter in the chemist either, it's safe to take during pregnancy (I was recommended it on this and last pregnancy).
Other than that, trying to cut down on tea (if you drink it) and replace it with water helps a lot.
I'm not a big fan of drinking water, but found if I put a drop of boiling water into it and a squeeze of lemon juice, it makes it a little more palatable.
Failing that you could try sugar free dilute in water. Anything really to help increase your fluid intake.
One thing I find a magic remedy is Thai red curry. My sister is a chef, so every Friday I go to the restaurant she works in for my weekly prescription of curry.
It's not very strong, but is very effecting If you want the base sauce for it pm me and I'll send some onto you.
She gave me a few sample packs of the sauce they use in the restaurant but I am the worlds most unadventurous chef so they'll probably stay in my cupboard until the run out of date otherwise
I'm back to moaning about indigestion again (my own fault now that I'm back to drinking tea and having the obligatory bit of chocolate/biscuit with it), although I did find last night that several after eights are a good cure for indigestion (tasty too :pac:)
Betsie hope you enjoy your weekend in Killarney! I agree with the boiling hot water to steam with. a blob of vicks in the boiling water or eucalyptus leave's if you've any growing nearby are great too.
Shuwaaah I hope the back pain eases soon, are you getting much of a bump?0 -

I'm getting there. 2 weeks ago my mother remarked that my bump was 'all to the front', sure where else would it be says I :rolleyes: but now I know what she meant! It's gotten so much wider, I've no waist at all! Which is why I can't sleep well most of the time, if I roll over onto my side at all it feels like I'm really putting pressure on the bump, even if I use a pillow to support it.
On the plus side, babs is bopping away inside, I think he might be doing jumping jacks, at times I do be kicked from end to end! :pac:
What about you Cap, how is the bump coming along? Have you tried the fruity rennies for the indigestion? I find I only get it when I lie down to go to bed, I have one of two of them and it generally sorts me out (mine's mild enough though)0 -

Ah how I love the comments about how you're carrying your bump. Every week last time it alternated between 'oh you're carrying high, it's definitely going to be a girl!' and a week later (same person), 'oh you're carrying low, it has to be a boy'. Never mind the fact that baby was prone to yo-yo'ing up and down several time's a day!! :rolleyes:
I'm loving the fruity rennies though to be honest they don't really work. I've had a bubble of acid indigestion at the back of my throat all day, so uncomfortable!
Bump is getting massive thanks! I'm starting to develop a real duck waddle when I walk now, have to keep reminding myself to walk properly

I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant, and I still haven't felt a twitch from the baby. It seems all the rest of the July 2012 ladies are feeling butterflies or bubbles, and I feel nada. I'm starting to worry that something is wrong 0

Everyone is different as to when they feel their baby for the first time. Alot of things can determine when you feel your baby including how and where the baby is lying. Don't panic especially if it is your first, first baby's are always a bit later at announcing their presence. If you really want you reassure yourself make any appointment with your GP, most of them have dopplers and you can get to hear your baby's heartbeat to put your mind at ease.0 -

I didnt feel anything until well into 20 weeks, so dont worry. I put it down to me having phenomenal abs pre-pregnancy. At my 21 week scan she mentioned my placenta was slightly lower so maybe thats why? 26 weeks this week and baby is kicking so hard I can see it from the outside.
Do you have a doppler? I found that so reassuring from 12 - 20 weeks, to hear a steady heartbeat I could relax knowing all was well.0
