Had you thought of getting a hairdresser to come to your home? Sometimes just a little attention can give us a boost, y'know?

How's everyone feeling today?

I had 10 minutes of dry retching this morning before breakfast. Which was nice. Not. Otherwise I'm not feeling too bad. Have tons and tons of saliva and just feel like spitting all the time which is quite disgusting. I am praying that this is it and the MS is wearing off. I'm cynical, though as I remember being hospitalised last time at 11 weeks for the second time. I'd do anything to stay away from that Neely ward again. Nightmare.

Have a (relatively) good day ladies.

I have something lovely to post from a girl who contributes to my journal that I'd like to share with you, so I'll do it later.

L. Any futher thoughts on THE pram?

crappy start to my day too, been chucking up big style already. Hopefully you will be lucky this time and it will pass for you once you hit 12 weeks, don't give up hope.
We got a moses basket 2nd hand yest, saw it advertised and Stephen rang up. It's really nice, mamas and papas one with the stand and covers etc and it's like brand new. We got it for £25 - bargain.
No ideas about pram yet, I would really like the silvercross sleepover deluxe on the linear chassis but it's quite expensive and I don't really need a lot of the extras that come with it, but I'll keep my eyes open in the meantime.

morning ladies...
im miserable again
dr warned me it might come back more towards the end.. and i think hes been right :my heartburn has been out of control this week too.. drinking antacids by the gallon which prob doesnt help!
** must stay out of neely ward - must stay out of neely ward*

isnt it funny that we all have the same mantra!!!

thinking maybe ive just overdone it a bit last week, was feeling good and did loads.. well..loads compared to what i have been doing lol, but think im paying the price now, so i plan to do nothing this week!

see you found me on facebook louise... you on there sam?

i took a cyclizine this morning after being really sick about 6am.. my god. i have mad dreams on those things! took me about half an hr tpo recover once i woke up!

are either of you ladies 'readers'? at the start when i was bad, i couldnt read cos it made me feel worse, but im back to it again now and have read a few fab books recently.. but am running out of ideas now so need some new recommendations!

on the plus side... i thought id found 4 stretchmarks last night.. ive managed to avoid getting any so far.. i was devestated lol (shallow, i know!) but hey presto! woke up this morning and they have vanished.. must have just been scratches! so that cheered me up no end! maybe the bio oil works after all!!

sam.. meant to say.. have you tried sucking sweeties? helped me with the excess saliva. i found sour ones worked best for me.. lemon sherbets etc, tho i know louise swears by her liquorice and blackcurrents (bleeeuughhh) although i did read that liquorice is a good source of iron!

I thought i was starting to get better over the last few days but been sick again a few times yesterday and today And my god my heartburn has been ridiculous Seems i won't be going far from this thread

Hi everyone, vici so sorry to hear you're feeling bad again, this thread's great as everyone understands what you're going through, hopefully you wont suffer for too long, it is so horrible.
Hey Kat, yep found you on facebook, I registered ages ago then forgot all about it! I feel like a stalker!
I put a bid on a little carters outfit on ebay and forgot all about it and I won it Yay, it arrived this morning and it really is the cutest thing ever!
Stephen can't stand the smell of my blackcurrant and liquorice sweets, don't know about the iron as it wont do me much good as I always chuck them up again (they do taste ok though on the way back up). Think I just eat them to get rid of that yucky taste too and help the nausea for a while.
I keep trying to lie really still and concentrate to see if I can feel baby move but nothing yet.
Had a bad night last night and a rough morning and think I'm going to be sick again very soon, getting so paranoid that my teeth are going to break or fall out and that really scares me, I'm too young for falsies!!
Sorry you're having it rough again Kat, hopefully it wont last too long and try to think positively, you're almost there!
I live in fear of the dreaded stretch marks, I got loads of them first time round so I'm dreading getting any new ones, they do fade but they're always there, I was so paranoid after I had Jenna (esp as I was only 19) and I remember going on hols in my bikini and feeling like everyone could see them even though they were barely noticeable by that stage. I've been putting on palmers when I remember, I'm a bit lazy about doing it to be honest and most of the time I can't bare to have any pressure on my tummy in case I throw up. Hopefully you've been lucky Kat and escaped them, I cried my eyes out when I found them I was devestated. Maybe I'll be lucky and not get any new ones this time as I haven't even really got a bump yet, a bit of bloat sometimes but it goes up and down like a balloon (is this normal?)
Take care everyone, I'm off to grab my bucket now

lou.. are you having gut churning? cos i was so sick i passed baby moving off as that for ages before i realised.. and its SO low down at the start too..i had no idea it would be so low!

i went the bio oil route for the dreaded stretch marks, so far so good, although i think the fact that i lost so much weight with being sick that it gave me a good head start on the 'room to grow' front!

the bloating is SO normal.. especially with being so sick hun. my belly was up and down like a balloon.. i was convinced i had a bump in the evenings, then by morning it was gone again lol!

yep guts are churning but I've just spent last half hour throwing up!
As for reading I normally am a big reader too but can hardly even read a magazine these days let alone a book. Have you read 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' and 'Kite Runner'? both brilliant books!
I also like the gory gritty crime thrillers, Karin Slaughter's books are very good for that.
I have one here called 'The Secret Life of Bees' I started reading it before I got sick and haven't got very far, it's just sitting gathering dust now! It's by Sue Monk Kidd, it's about racism. Love the odd true story like 'a child called it' though sometimes these books are too upsetting to read. Chasing windmills was another one I just picked up one day and it wasn't a bad wee read. We're all big book readers in this house, Stephen's devestated that we'll have to clear half our books away as they're on bookcase in what will be nursery and we've no room for the bookcase anywhere else, think we're just going to get a smaller one for our room so we can keep some of our books out.

Well my sickness has just got worse thru the day Was sick a couple of times this morning and then at lunch, and then for the first time ever, i didn't even make it to the bathroom. So after 15 mins of throwing up, i had to clean the floors! Not nice

aww vici
I too was really sick this afternoon but I've long given up on trying to get to bathroom as I don't have energy to run anywhere fast, I just keep a basin by the bed and take it with me if I go downstairs, not very pleasant or dignified I know but I really don't care about that right now.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.
