I have this wonderful image of that bra - I went and brought new bras too last week. My feeding bras got too big for the two weeks that I stopped feeding and before all this started. Then I noticed that I had filled them up again. I brought lacey underwired ones, felt like being normal for a few months and having a shape rather than a giant saggy mass.
Very pleased to here its all ok - keep eating, it helps me too

OMG am I ever.
I swear I have never felt so sick today in my entire life, just concentrating on keeping it as a feeling and not physical. I'm a bit like you with that one, just can't cope with it.

You could ask your GP if there are any antie emetics that are safe in pregnancy? I Always have them on me and find they work, but obviously you would need some that are safe for you and baby...
Big hugs to you mate (()) I really do sympathise with you x

Hi Gizmoracer
Sorry to here you are very sick, I managed to reach all over my oh at 6.30am this morning. But toast and coke zero fixed it enough. If you are admitted for morning sickness they use metoclopramide - prescription only. But most Drs will not prescribe it.
My funny thought of the day has been that Twinkletoes is in a grapefruit - rubyred one inside me. Think that came from your post about it being the size of a grapefruit.
Hope you feel better tomorrow

Hiya, Don't know if I've said congratulations on your pregnancy yet, but thought I'd pop in quickly and say so. You're due in October which is when my birthday is, the 11th. Great time of year to be born!
I'm 25 weeks now, can't believe how quick it has gone. But I am still being sick, once or twice a week and now have terrible flare ups for my fibromyalgia (muscle pain and headaches). I didn't get that last time round and am feeling pretty sorry for myself at the moment, what with working part-time and having an active toddler to look after (moan moan, sorry!). No actually, I am just glad that the PP hasn't surfaced during pregnancy which is what can happen apparently and am counting down the weeks to when I can not be pregnant (I don't do pregnancy well!).
Anyway, wanted to say that there are definitely anti-emetics safe in pregnancy, because I would not have got by without them during my first pregnancy. I couldn't keep anything down, was being sick 5-6 times a day and nearly hospitilised because I lost a stone in weight in the 1st trimester. Had to have 6 weeks off work. Finally I was put on phenergan, which really helped. Didn't stop be being sick entirely, but if I came off them it would come back with a venegance. Had to take them at night because they made me sleepy, but I didn't mind that, since I have terrible trouble sleeping anyway. Anyway, the meds didn't effect my little Ellis at all, so very safe and a lifesaver - didn't fancy being fed through a drip the entire pregnancy because I couldn't stop being sick!
Also, instead of meds this time for me, since the sickness is not so bad, my GP is giving me accupuncture and it does seem to help alleviate the sickness a little bit - worth a try if you can get it for free?
Take care and hope the sickness eases for you soon. x

Thanks everyone. Yesterday was particularly bad sickness wise. Have to admit I know people who get it far worse than me as I am rarely physically sick. Think I may have found a pattern. It seems if I forget my vitamins one day the next I am very sicky. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but a pattern never the less. I also found something about Vitamin B6 being good for sickness and the doc can give you a higher dose. I haven't seen anyone about it yet as I'm not loosing dangerous amounts of weight or anything like that. I'm eating sufficiently but not alot so it helps with my plan of not putting too much on. I had completely forgotten about phenagan, it's difficult to get round here as it is highly abused by young mums who want to sedate their kids so they can go out clubbing (so I've been told by a local pharmasist who will only sell it to me and a few other selected people). I've used it a couple of times when Jason's asthma has been bad. I'm off to see the midwife a week tomorrow, hope to get her to book me in for an early scan. It has just occured to me though that there is a place round the corner from my parents where I can pay for a scan, they do those 4D ones as well. Had loads of cravings recently. I am totally addicted to tesco's bacon and cheese sandwiches, salami and today I wanted raspberry yop and tea for some strange reason.

Mate I had a 4D scan with Isabelle and it is the BEST thing ever.. i recommend it to everyone!! I still have one of the pictures framed from when I was 26 weeks gone and it really is just like any other pic of Isabelle as a baby! Do it, do it, do it!

Ahh, I'd so love to be able to afford a 4D scan, but just can't justify the money. I think they are great.
Wow, never knew you could get phenergan over the counter or that it was given to kids! It did make me pretty sleepy so can imagine it knocking a kid out. If you need something, get your Dr to prescirbe it because then it would be free (one perk of being pregnant).
Hope the midwife appointment goes well.

Well the shell's out and I'm slowly creeping back inside. Didn't take long did it. It's the nights that are doing me in. I can't get comfy, can't get to sleep easily, too aware that I'm desterbing OH all night and he is loosing sleep because of me. So I lay awake with thoughts swimming through my head. Last night I was convinced it was all a bad idea and was only going to cause more trouble. Our relationship shifts from one minute being fine to the next minute hardly talking, which is where its heading at the moment. Obviously I feel its all my fault. I felt really ill yesterday but managed to get a few silly little things done mind you that did include re-writing the shopping list 3 times til I had everything in order in nice writing ???what was that all about Then OH commented that I still hadn't packed up my Wii yet and that set me off on these stupid thoughts. I ended up getting up and sitting on the sofa crying for over an hour for no reason at all. Feeling a bit better today, I have got used to these things in the past and will do again. Think I'm just anxious. I need confirmation that this pregnancy isn't phantom, OH needs to get a decent nights sleep and I need to get on top of a few things (much easier said than done), really starting to feel quite down but don't know why. It's FIL birthday tomorrow and the kids have got the dentist. I'm having nightmares about the dentist and will have to ask OH to take them in and to be honest neither of us are looking forward to visiting the in-laws, think we are both expecting some sort of nasty comment or something stupid like that which will probably not happen. I'm out all day today doing a market resarch thing, I do quite enjoy these as it is easy money but to be fair I would rater go back to bed. Just feel like I should do something constructive money wise. Roll on next week.

Big hugs to you Giz (()) You really are going through the mill. When do you get your first scan??
I hope the market research today is a good distraction for you and you feel better as the days goes on?
Love to you

The market research was a nice change. It was 11am til 1pm then 8 out of 55 of us were asked to stay til 3pm, that included me so I got extra money for it. £60 for a bit of brain work and a chat, not bad. This ment that OH had to pick up the kids which I know he likes anyway but has unfortunatly been very busy at work recently and probably could have done without it today. Generally not felt too bad today, other than period style aches and pains but since having settled the kids in bed and had a bath I've now got my sicky tummy back. I've decided this is anxiety. It happens most nights and I'm sure it's to do with me worrying about how I'm going to sleep, if I'm bugging OH and the thoughts coming back, even if they are not bad thoughts I do seem to struggle switching off at night. As for a scan, your guess is as good as mine at the moment. I see the midwife to book in on Friday so I will ask her about one then but may well have to wait another couple of weeks.

Awww Giz, you really are suffering at the minute aren't you? Hopefully your mind will settle once you've seen your midwife on friday? have you tried writing your thoughts down? you know just to get them out of your head and into black and white? i find it works for me?? especially when i'm in my darkest moments. Just a thought! (s'cuse the pun!) lol.
Anyway i hope things go well for you on friday and it helps settle your mind a bit, will be thinking about you and waiting for all the details....... xxx

Had a very tiring day yesterday, making costumes for the kids. Its world book week or something like that and they are going to school today dressed as book characters. Apparently there is a compition for those who have homemade costumes. So I spent yesterday cutting and bleaching some old clothes, and making felt feathers and then sewing then onto a t shirt. Sewing is definatly not my thing or idea of fun. but I'm pleased with the result. Joey is covered in green facepaint, face, arms, hair the lot and is a troll. Jason is all in grey with these feathers attached and is Madison the parrot from 'Harry's Mad'. Visit to in-laws went ok, usual stuff really and the dentist was fine. Both ok but Jason has to go back in 3 months with a view to being referred to an orthadontist. He is missing 2 top teeth and has huge gaps, dentist says it should sort itself out but we can get him on the books now so if he needs a brace later it wont be such a long wait. Off out now to be drained of blood . I woke up last night dreaming that I got to the docs today and my midwife was off sick and it was the first one I ever dealt with who was there instead, I ran out screaming lol.

Hope it goes ok Giz x Here is me in nursing - and I HATE blood tests. My Husband went for one yesterday, took Isabelle with him - and apparently he and the nurse were so worried that Isabelle was going to faint as she just went deathly whit and started shaking like a leaf and being all strange - must run in the family - lol.
Oooh and let us know what happens with the costume competition! I would love to be a mum who can make costumes - but I have no sewing skills whatsoever! It sounds like you have done an ace job - fingers crossed they win a prize for it! x
