...I crocked meself by going swimming earlier and doing the breast stroke which means my SPD is bad tonight, I woke myself turning over in bed a few minutes ago :( PLUS I ate a Chinese meal too late in the evening and now I have really bad indigestion! I HATE self inflicted pain.... *L*...

Hi girls - I know there are a few threads about this now. I am just too lazy to go looking for them... :D Just wondered - what works for you, seeing as you can't take pain relief? Lately my SPD has become more intense. It is harder to get out of bed in the morning. It is harder to...

I think that this is probably not pregnancy related, but are any of you jumbletowners? I am registered with a site called jumbletown.ie - I presume there is one for the UK as well. It works on the principle that if you have it and don't need it, someone somewhere will want it and take it off...

Anyone else still getting breast pain? Some days my nipples and breasts feel heavy and achy, others they just have stinging pains, and nipples still all itchy. Wondered about it since I didn't have it with the last baby. Sue

:rotfl: Sat in front of PC with a huge plate of rice and chicken - my second helping!!!!...anyone find they could eat for their country lately? :rotfl: Sue

I went to the GP Monday evening because I've been feeling a bit poorly. She diagnosed a stomach bug and low blood pressure because I've been dizzy and weak too. She said that I need to take arnica for mild SPD and take iron. Does anyone know of an iron supplement that doesn't constipate you...

Hi girls... Have my 20 week anomaly scan today(booked in a private clinic cos the public health system here is so crap). I think they do a mix of 3D and 4D scans so if I get a good picture this time I'll post it. We have decided to stay "team green" so will be telling them that at the scan...

Hi gals I don't know if I have told anyone on here this time around, but I suffer from a very mild form of obsessive compulsive disorder. It takes the form of repetitive worrying thoughts. My rituals include analysing these thoughts for negative meanings and taking illogical and very scary...

Hi folks - Just a quick question for those second or third timers out there...is there a difference in the level of activity between your previous babies and this one? I remember Naomi kicking STRONGLY at this stage and it hadn't really let up for weeks. This baby seems to have long periods...

Hi girls - It's a weird one to ask maybe - but I'm in the process of having my voice trained. Trouble is, I'm finding it very hard to do the looped breathing at the mo - keep running out at the end of long phrases. My teacher (an 80 year old German man) is not very sympathetic and says he...

Hi... Have booked a "detailed anomaly scan" with a private clinic in Dublin for next week. Gender determination is an option. Personally I'm all for it. I would love to tell my DD whether she's getting a sister or a brother and it might help seeing as the possibility of a brother is not even...

Hi gals... Visited a nutritionist at the start of this pregnancy and basically did really well on lowering sugar and caffeine intake in the first tri. THEN CAME CHRISTMAS :rotfl: I've found it really hard not to be snacking on sweet stuff now - and though I was fairly good over Christmas I...

Grr do they think that they have a licence to be rude or to scare you with horror stories? In the queue at the bank the other day and I lifted my toddler into the pram, she was dead on her feet, and an elderly woman behind me said - "you don't want to be doing that, you'll wrap the cord around...

Hi girls - I know we were posting about this problem with the sore groin lately - when you feel that you have been riding a bike for a long time and that if you stand for long enough you're going to split in half. Anyone find any way of relieving this? Mind has been so sore for the last...

Hi girls - I wondered if anyone else is having a problem with...the "apron" as my doc calls it. You know, that lovely little "overhang" just under your bump that never quite went away after your first child. Mine, since I got pregnant this time, has become a small fold of skin that hangs...

Hey folks - Anyone expecting their second child and worried about this? I love my daughter to bits but I remember the amount of attention she needed as a baby - is it possible that with all the attention we will lavish on a new baby that I will not have enough love for two? Or possibly that I...

Ok - I was beginning to get my fitness back before I got pg but then because I miscarried last time, my doc told me to take it easy so I haven't really been exercising for the last 18 weeks. She told me recently that we could a) have sex again :oops: b) start exercising - forced walking is...

Hi girls... Anyone know this trick? If you put your wedding ring (or any gold ring) on a thread and dangle it over your belly, you can tell which baby you will have, a boy or a girl. if the ring moves from side to side it's a boy, and in circles, it's a girl. :D We tried it lastnight after...

Hi - Anyone have oedema this early? My hands have become really puffy and I've had puffy ankles a couple of times too! PLUS everyone who meets me tells me I'm huge for 17 weeks - and I must be carrying twins - though I know there is only one baby in here! Only thing I'm afraid of is...

Hi. I haven't posted here in a while as got very busy and had some pc troubles too. Hope everyone's pregnancy going well. I'm absolutely fine apart from ligament pain, sore groin, dizziness and irritability *LOL* I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and will have a wonderful New Year. Sue
