hayfever

Tried acupuncture for hayfever?
Just read that it can be quite helpful and safe while preggo

i hate doctors over here so they thought of letting some random guy stick needles in me is not reassuring. My OB told me the othre day that women shouldn't yell during childbirth because "it doesn't hurt that much and the baby will be traumatised if it hear's it's mother yell as it's first sounds".....hence, have only been to the doctor twice this time.

Hi lizzle.
As far as I know all antihistamines are not good, early on in pregnancy. I am allergic to bee's, bumble bees and wasps and have to take something for it. I use to use teldine but knew I'd have to change for pregnancy so went into one chemist and the bloody woman told me nothing was safe so just put up with the pain. What a stupid B###h, I had told her that it wasnt just a discomfort so walked out before I slapped her. Its not just discomfort, I swell up and believe it or not, the pain is way worse than labour.
So I went to another chemist and explaned what the other woman said and even she couldnt believe it.
Anyway, she looked up in her book and found there are antihistamines that are safer but the tests are still inconclusive. All I can suggest is talk to a chemist over there and make sure they look up in their book.
Oh and tell your OB to shove it.

sorry ladies. Just need to rant so feel free to ignore this if you want. I really wanna talk to mum,b ut she worries so much about me being far away that I try and let her think everything is okay....well, it is really except
PREGNANCY SUCKS!!!!
so i have really bad hayfever and spent the last weekend alternating sneezing and blowing my nose
i have really bad gas that gave me terrible stomachaches
m,y tummy is stretching and it hurts
my ankles are now cankles
i have icky dark patches on my face
there are suspicious black hairs in places where previously there were none and it hurts to pluck
i can't eat too much as my stomach is smaller
clothes don't fit

well, as you can see, it's eerything and nothing really. I had a dream first trimester and I guess now it's making up for it. roll on thrid trimes6ter.....must be better......

oooh i was like that, shuffling around, but that's cos of my pelvis not my back. really sucked that we lived upstairs.. got so painful trying to climb up and down that i kinda stopped going out most of the time.

oh lizzle.. don't worry, it'll be over before you know it!
and bitch away, it's nice to be reminded so i don't go and do it myself!
[ick, had a nightmare the other night that i was pregnant. scared the crap out of me!]

LOL....LIZ you are in a funny mood today huh?......

Always a good excuse those hormones!
