Well thanks DOCTOR!!!!

Comment Published at 22:2622:2613 comments13 comments51 Visits51 VisitsReport

I like my doctor, I really do.... especially when he takes one look at me and says "you don't look well at all!!" Geez thanks ever so much, that's why I'm here!!! He really does give a dam which I am really grateful for. Where to start???

Not much he can really do about the whole nausea thing!!! YAY I'm so happy (hint of sarcasm there). He says because I am able to keep some food in me and the maxolon makes things worse, there really is no point in prescribing any other medical treatments at this point. This is when I do believe I did this .. a lot of . He said what I can try is an anti histamine.Hmmm, suppose I better give this one a go and see what happens. The only side effect is sedation... well I'm sleep pretty much all the time so why not lol!!! I've lost a total of 5 kilos in just over a week. He's not toooo concerned about that one as I did the same thing when pregnant with miss g. Infact I lost a total of 22 kilos when I was pregnant with her!! I was one hot mumma lol!!! He has given me some other things to try...

1. Eat what ever my body is craving. He said no matter what it is eat it!!! Apparently a lot of women have reported that they feel fine if they eat what they are craving..... well for me it seems to be chocolate thickshakes!! He said to me go for it... it's calcium at the end of the day!

2. Eat Apples.... been living on the suckers anyway. Apparently apples helps a lot of women with morning sickness. (have them cold out of the fridge)

3. Eat cheese and nuts. Cheese takes longer to digest and is full of protein as is nuts. So made it to the supermarket and purchased one big ass block of cheese and a big ass bag of nuts. Almonds are the best ones so almonds for all.

4. Graze throughout the day. Well that's what I've been doing. He suggested eating really small amounts of whatever it is I'm craving. Say it's a sandwich of some kind... take small bites of it and eat it over a course of 1/2 hour or so. Yet to try that one but I'll give it a go. He also said to eat to stop the hungry nausea and just enough so that you feel that nice feeling of full.

5. Don't drink any fluids with any meal that you eat. He told me to wait at least 1/2 hour before consuming any fluids. Try really cold drinks... that's all I can handle anyway is really cold drinks.

6. Here's one I have never heard of before... sniffing lemon. Apparently it's an old one but a good one and a lot of women have found it helps keep the nausea away. I'll strap one to my nose!!!

There were more tips... got them written down just cant seem to find them ohoh....

Now the shakes I've been having....... Could be one of three things or a combination of all three. Could be a kidney or bladder infection. If so then daily injections will be required only because I have real trouble swallowing any big ass tablets. Could be severly low blood sugar levels... if so off to hospital for me for 24 hours of IV and electorlytes. Then home for a few days and then back to hospital again. He said it's quickest way to get my blood sugar levels to where they need to be. It could be I am lacking in every known vitamin and mineral known to man!!! If that's the case then daily injections will be required again until all levels are back up to where they should be. The doc said to sleep whenever I want as tiredness can make the nausea worse. Unless I get alot worse then I just have to put up with it for the moment. He's trying to be optimistic bless him and is saying that a lot of women have to wait until the 16 week mark before the nausea disappears...... two more weeks and we'll know if his optimism has paid off. For the moment it's blood tests, I'm being screened for anything and everything and some more urine tests.... results should be back in a couple of days. 

Thank you to everyone for your support and kindness. I would be truly lost without all of you... thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!

fi xoxo

P.S To any of my friends... if I disappear off the net for a while don't worry.... seems I forgot to pay my internet bill and today was the cut off to pay it... paid it but they may still disconnect me.... oh god I hope not........ thanks again everyone.

Re: Well thanks DOCTOR!!!!

 Dear Fi, seems though your doctor is very  much on the ball and has given you quiet a list of things to try, to help with the nausea...I so hope one or two of  them work and more so lets hope that his 16 weeks mark, is right.

Here;s hoping that  ALL those blood tests come back with  some answers, so you can get treatment ASAP and rid of the shakes to boot!

Sending you much love dear friend....hang in there....or i will have to drive up there and bring you back here, so i can look after you and you can rest. xxxx

Re: Well thanks DOCTOR!!!!

Fi, they won't cut your internet connection off. I've been 2 weeks late paying a bill and they've been fine with it.

Try what the doctor has suggested, but I really do think you will benefit from having a couple of days in hospital with the IV fluids and maxalon.  I had 3 trips to hospital (not a great way to celebrate your birthday I can tell  you! lol) and lasted about 1-2 weeks between.  I found vegetable based soups helped a little.

Sweetie, it won't last forever, just do the best you can to eat something!  I went 4 months without solid food passing my lips and still had a 3.3kg baby! lol.

Re: Well thanks DOCTOR!!!!

Nausea is a biatch isnt it.  I was puking for months & then got it back, but you sound so much worse than I was babe.  My heart goes out to you.  You are doing such a good job.  If I was there I would have Miss G for you for a couple of days in a flash - you could always put her on a plane??  If I win tatts I will send up a nanny & cleaner & servants for you.  I hope some of the Dr's suggestions work for you honey.  Rach  xx

Re: Well thanks DOCTOR!!!!

I do feel for you so much Fi

When I was being sick 8 or 9 times a day, I felt really ragged, I know it was totally differnet circumstances and I didn't have a baby taking any goodness from the food I could keep down, but the demoralising feeling of being sick, looking at food and wondering what is the point when you expect it to come back up etc I can identify with all of that. Its so awful

Hope some of the drs tips work for you and you are soon feeling much brighter

Re: Well thanks DOCTOR!!!!

Hope that nausea goes soon. I had it so bad in my first pregnancy and still remember how horrible it made me. I cried and yelled at my husband one night cause he was eating dinner. Huh? It was all his fault after all. It really can get to you! Hope you find the solution. How long have you got to go? Groan! I hear you. Take care Fi, Lynette xx

Hiya Lynette,

                        ROFL... I wanna scream at jd but I can't... he's not here!!! Your right though, it's always their fault! Im only 14 weeks and 3 days along..... OMG!! It feels like an eternity......... I was really hoping that this pregnancy would be like my first. It was wonderful, had lovely hair, perfect skin, only the smallest hint of morning sickness.... this time, my hair is really dry, I'm breaking out in acne ( I never get pimples or acne lol), I'm ill for most of the day.... oh the joy!!!!

Here's hoping it all just disappears........ FINGERS CROSSED!!!

much love,

fi xoxo

Re: Well thanks DOCTOR!!!!

Mine went in about the 4th or 5th month. Sorry it is so foggy, was 17 years ago but hardly had any sickness for the second and the third was a breeze so it is amazing how the pregnancies differ. Will cross fingers for you. Oh yes, blamed him when I was going through labour pains too. How can they do that to us? LOL All good when you have them in your arms though. Keep the chin up!
