MSE pregnancy club II

MrsTinks

I read a review not long ago that said in no uncertain terms that you get what you pay for... I don't think I'd risk it - I'd pay for a more expensive one rather than risk it not working or malfunctioning...

Hi, Can anyone offer me any words of wisdom at the moment as I am feeling quite low. I am nearly 9 weeks and I am suffering with bad nausea, but it lasts all day and is terrible if I let myself get hungry. It is making me feel really low, I just have no energy, I am getting home from work and having to go to bed, subsquently little of the housework is done and I am just not eating well as I don't seem to be able to face anything. The whole thing is just making me feel really depressed. We haven't told anyone yet about the pregnancy execpt my work so I can have the appointment times off and instead of feeling excited about telling people I just feel miserable. I'm sure everyone will be dead happy for us but I don't think i'll be able to cope with other people's joy when I just feel so rank. I was just wondering if anyone has felt the same as I am at the moment? Any support would be gratefully received

Join the club!
It's horrible aint it, but it will pass eventually, dont feel guilty about letting the housework go a bit or wanting to spend best part of the day in bed, you need the rest.
I had the same convo with my friend at the school gtaes this morning, she's the same hasnt hardly cooked, eated or done any housework all week and she's only 6 weeks lol

Have you got a link to the report MrsTine?

I am not convinced that any of them are very effective (having never used one of course ) but if would be interesting to have a read.

Although, quite often the Lidl stuff is imported so it probably wouldn't fit in the normal rules of 'getting what you pay for' - I would guess that it depends on the strength and frequency of the electrical pulses (I think )

think its in the I'm Pregnant magazine - a snip at 4.99... I was in hospital and desperate for reading material! I'll check later when my cat agrees to move off my lap...

I had my 'sweep' today with the MW, now 40+5 :eek: and getting REALLY fed up.
Tens machines - used one with DD and DS. You may have to remove them with some kinds of monitoring, but i found it a useful distraction, made my back feel a bit jelly like and as if loads of fingers were all over my back :eek:

My_Fathers_Daughter

Mmmm - now I am liking the fingers all over my back idea...although it may not prompt the usual response, my back is VERY sensitive


Sarah - curry? s e x? a good long walk? can a shock bring on labour too?


Auzelia - just spotted your post about baby not playing ball so you are unsure of the sex :rotfl: I guess some babies just want to be a surprise after all!

Sarahsaver

I have tried the following, curry, several times, sex, ditto, walking LOTS, lots of housework, small gin and tonic, raspberry leaf tea, clary sage, then today's 'sweep'.

MFD are you like me y'see I can orgasm from having the small of my back stroked :eek: now that WOULd help with the delivery LOL

Sarahsaver

Mrs Tine i saw the 'I'm pregnant' magazine and had a fit of the giggles. i think its such a funny title!!! Said to my friend there could be a whole series, renaming popular magazines so they do 'what they say on the tin' so to speak, like 'i like cars', 'I shop too much' 'I watch daytime tv' :rotfl:

My_Fathers_Daughter

Now I wasn't going to say it Sarah but just thinking about having my back stroked and my neck kissed means that hubby will be in luck tonight :rotfl:

Oh but it is good to have some sex drive back

Last week on that Sex Education programme it said that orgasms are good for baby because they make baby feel happy too (endorphins or whatever!) so I have been taking advantage of that with hubby...'now you wouldn't deprive bubba of a little happiness darling would you'

cazscoob

no this was a very big surprise and is baby no 5! but my first HB. so hopeing she behaves and comes on time!

heather thanks for that will need to write a list out of things, luckily my mum works in gynae theatre and said she will bring some things home so will wait and see. just hard to think what i could need and would rather it was all there. do you get wee pop in visits as i was told they do this so every midwife gets to meet you? cant wait to hear how it all goes you will need to keep me up to date lol:D:D
