Feeling like I am gona puke all the time but I don't ever throw up. I almost wish I would throw up so I would feel better after...

Be careful what you wish for. I always feel indescribably worse after I'm sick, I can't move for hours after or I'll set myself off again. I have to lie down flat and eat dry crackers to try and settle my stomach and then very slowly force myself drink so I rehydrate, if I get up and try to walk, even to the bathroom, I start to throw up again. And when I vomit I tend to burst blood vessels in my eyes or nose and end up with red eyeballs, a nose bleed and/or a stonker of a migraine.

That said most women I've spoken to feel better after throwing up but for me vomiting means the next 12-24 hours are a write off.

Ya I totally agree with Iguana: sickness doesn't go away when I vomit: it just makes it worse: it's not like you've eaten something and you'll feel better after it's gone Especially when it's constant and all you want is to feel better even for half an hour.

For me I found (and still do) I could keep down red walkers or salt and vinegar taytos when NOTHING else would stay down: and it used make it easier to drink too!

Trial and error I'm afraid :rolleyes:

oops meant in bits not in Botswana !!! well the pharmacist said they were the mildest and to take every second day. here's hoping that works :-)

Last year when I was anaemic I found Spatone liquid iron to be the easiest by far on my stomach. http://www.boots.com/en/Spatone-Iron-Sachets-28_4933/

And as for the autocorrect, a few months back I posted to my facebook about how they had given me Oxymoron at Gallant hospital, when I was on Oxycontin in Tallaght.

Ha ha that's hilarious!!
I've heard good things about spa tone might ask the pharmacy if its ok, thanks iguana :-)

I wanted to start aqua aerobics tonight but my swimsuits all look really stupid on me. I went to the local Penneys hoping to pick up a bigger size tankini or swimsuit but all they had was tiny bikinis and tummy control panel swimsuits. I want to cry. Worst of all my husband has some stupid idea in his head that I'm trying to 'get out of' going to aqua aerobics for some reason and thinks I'm making excuses. I think he had a night of wife free X-box planned and is gutted that I'll be home.

I had the same problem - any full suits had tummy control, and when I tried them they sqeezed Bump so much he/she kicked up a storm, so I bought one that was fairly stretchy and about 2 sizes up and snipped out the tummy control mesh. Worked out perfectly.

No way was I paying a small fortune to get a maternity swimsuit I'd only wear a handful of times.

That's exactly what I want, did you get it recently? My local Penneys is just really, really awful. It's what is called an E class, so it's got very little decent stock in it. I guess I'll have to brave town to find one.

I've been getting a lot of posterior pelvic pain for the last week and aqua aerobics is supposed to be great for it, so if it helps, I hope to do it twice a week for the summer. I'm lucky to live really near a pool that has it on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It would be nice to meet some other real life pregnant women too.

The acidy stomach on me today is un-flipping-real... and the more baby kicks the sicker I am! And I have a communion to go to tomorrow well dinner noone wants me at the church although i think the church would be easier than the smells of dinner!!

Anyway chronic heartburn and nausea and crap loads of braxton hicks and baby kicks makes me feel very sorry for myself!!

kildareash

For the ladies that were looking for swimsuits, I got one in m/care for about 15e. Had great plans to go swimming and aqua aerobics but the tags r still on the togs!

Swollen feet that wobble when I walk!! They're are actually starting to freak me out a little bit - could end up with stretch marks on my feet at the rate they're going! Any tips on how best to deal with them?

I know I shouldn't moan about being looked after well but this GD is driving me mad.

Testing my blood seven times a day is very awkward, I can't even find a word to describe it. Today, I'm not really in a work environment that allows for snacking. So I hope that doesn't put my results out too much.
I had to test earlier than I shld have after breakfast because I Cldnt do it at the right time. I know I can explain all this in the hospital but I'm just feeling very overwhelmed by it all today.

I know I'll be grateful in the end if all this prevents me from having to take insulin and all the other things assoc with GD, but for today FML!!!!!!!

Aaaaggggghhhhh I'm so hot, my neck is seriously sore (not sure why!) and getting so many braxton hicks because I am a bit dehydrated... I really hate being pregnant (not the baba bit at the end the feeling fat, frumpy, sick bit!)... just aaagggghhh :mad:

Tigerton

Have a really bad pain in my back left ribs. No idea what it's from. Only hurts when I hiccup, burp or move too fast.
Thankfully not when I sneeze though seeing as my hayfever is bad and can't take antihistamines.
And My morning sickness has been rotten the past few days...
I'm a big moan at the mo

notsobusy

My hips and pelvis have been so painful the last few days :-(

Kash

+1 on the hip and pelvis pain - it's a b***h with a capital B. Getting out of bed is like running the Krypton Factor obstacle course!

Saurelin

pain in right hip is really bad
but tomorrow I'm off so I hope it will be better.

Betsie_xr3i

sore throat, pain in my head, blocked nose and feel like i didn't sleep a wink last night, hate the thoughts of going to work later :-(

sleepytrees

I feel miserable about the good weather. Why couldn't it be nice last year?! I knew it was going to be a gorgeous summer when I was pregnant!
I feel so fat and sweaty

I am really cranky today!!

If I go as soon as I need to, things go well. If I delay it for a few hours for some reason, it doesn't go so well & takes a bloody long time

My moan is not being able to sleep properly, OH snoring like a mad yoke, waking up from heartburn, waking up every time I have to turn in the bed, when I lie on my right side, my right thigh goes numb & yucky weird.

I wish I could get flown into outer space for a night so I'm weightless & could get a good kip :cool:

sleepytrees

Can I moan every day or am I limited to the amount of times I moan?:D

I have a lung infection and am feeling really sorry for myself. I feel really scared. Feels like i'm breathing under water. I'm on an antibiotic and feel rotten. I didn't want to take any meds during my pregnancy!!
