Due in June 2007!

I don't put my head back at all when taking pills and no matter where my head is I still have choke to death lol..

When I'm feeling gross and I eat something sweet - like chocolate for example I feel better. Anyone else got this? And anyone know why it works? lol I don't mind except if I eat too much stuff like that I'll put on too much weight lol

Thanks Yalanna! Taht is good to know - with the polaramine, I will look at that as I can take it before bed - last night it meant I slept with my mouth open (nose completely blocked) so woke up so dehydrtaed last night! I guess I can still use my allinase spray if those others are ok too.

Stacey- apparently nausea can incease when you have low blood sugar levels so a dose of something sweet like chocolate can hike those up pretty quickly and make you feel better. I can't stand chocolate at the moment (soooo unlike me as I usually live on the stuff) but I am so into starbursts!

Thats so good to know about the antihistamines Yalanna! I get terrible hayfever and didn't take anything last time around so was absolutely miserable. Luckily I don't get it over here but when I come back to visit its good to know there is something I can take.

10 weeks today- woohoo!!!

I was totally addicted to chocolate milk with Haleigh, not so much now, I can't stomach chocolate at the moment.
My midwife I had with Haleigh was a homeopathic, and I have to say the tablet she gave me in labour sure worked, I was in second stage not long after lol.
My MS has finally gone YAY!!!!
I never got it with Haleigh so it's been hard to handle this time round.

Awwww I'm sooo close to my lil milestone of 8 weeks!

Wow 10 weeks already Jen man its going fast.
I have been feeling so sick all day everyday but have figured out that if I go out and do stuff I don't feel so bad than if i sit at home feeling sorry for myself. Someone on here said to put a banana next to bed to eat first thing this has worked so well for me so thanx to whoever it was.
I had convinced myself I didn't feel this bad with Jack but I just found a book where I wrote stuff about last pregnancy down and it was like this so I bet the new baby is a boy. I recommend writing a wee diary or something if you are planning on having another one cos you really forget everything.
Glad to hear everything is well miss it must be a good sign to see the heart so early on.
I'm seeing my midwife on Thursday for the first time yay

Hate to disappoint you miss, but did you know that dairy products can be allergens and may be making your sinusitis worse too? They are also suggesting if there are bad allergies in the family such as asthma and eczema to avoid dairy products in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you are worried about calcium, there is more in broccolli than milk anyway.

We have a family history of asthma and ezcema and I ate dairy through preg and bfing bc i need the calcium. I would talk to your midwife before cutting it out tho beacuse your bones and teeth need all the calcium they can get.

Well, I have cut out peanuts for the allergy side - I have never had a reaction of any sort to dairy (and allergy tests have never indicated it at all). Our neighbourhood is FULL of privet which is flowering at the moment, so I suspect that it is worsened by that at the momet (the stuffy nose started as soon as the flowers burst open!) SO hopefully it isn't the dairy!

One thing I have been wondering about though is egg - I have always felt that at times my body does not like eggs (warning tmi - sometimes, not every time, eating a few eggs means a trip to the loo in a couple of hours). I thought it might be linked to the sulphur content? Because I also don't seem to like the sulphur based preservative (is that 220?) Anyway, was reading up on that and ezcema before 4 months old in a child is often due to eggs!

Ok, random blathering over - just went for a walk, first real bit of exercise in 6 weeks, and it was fab - helped by the insanely beaustiful weather!

I sometimes get that with eggs.
I didnt know eggs had sulphur in them
Eggs can be pretty dodgy though at the best of times.
I had eggs the other day, and they just weren't the same solidly cooked, I miss my runny eggs
Man Im goin to miss alot of foods lol
