[mambo]

Any reason I shouldn't drink an emergen-c? I can feel a sore throats coming on. Also what else can I take? I usually take Zyrtec

I take DayQuil and NyQuil. Some variations may have a teeeeny bit of alcohol, so check the label. But otherwise ok.

I had my first pregnancy-related appointment last night! It was an assessment with the nurse practitioner and really just a lot of talking/questions/info but it was still really exciting. Tomorrow I have my first ultrasound and I see my doctor afterwards, I wish I could fast forward!

[LittleStarSweeper]

Yay, CK1! Things start to get pretty "real" after that first ultrasound 😊 Best wishes

Back to work for me today. I took Monday off for the US & spend the day with DH and then yesterday I took a snow day and spent the day with DS. I tried to take him sledding but he just wanted to play on the swings... so I pushed my kiddo on the swings in a snowstorm. Crazy kid.

Good luck to those with appointments today! & Hopefully everyone who is sick and has sick kiddos is on the mend!

Migraines should be banned while pregnant or when you have a young kid! I had a mild-ish one yesterday but it was rough. Toddlers don't understand screaming hurts worse than normal and playing is hard when you just want to lay down in a dark room and sleep. Thankfully I woke up feeling much better, just hungover feeling like I typically do post migraine.

I had one yesterday too and it was awful. Luckily my 1.5 and 3 year old cooperated and I just laid on the floor and they just played around me. Glad you feel better today!

I only get migraines when pregnant...it is terrible.

[CK1]

That sounds so miserable @wicky. I hope you get more relief today!

[wells2010]

sorry @wicky. migraines are the worst!

[CoachTsWife]

I'm glad you feel better today @wicky! Is your headache gone, too, magaroni86?

[Deleted]

For the last several weeks DC has only let S3 nap one time. He absolutely needs two. The other problem is that he wakes up from this one nap at 1:30 and then it's all I can do to keep him awake in the evening. Last night, he crashed at 645 and then woke up at 845 crying and standing up in his crib and it took me another hour to get him back to sleep. And he woke up every two hours afterwards. LUCKILY we have a new person in the baby room who was shocked that those kids were only getting one nap and she is going to work on them all taking two. Here's hoping it works today!!

Mine is gone thankfully. It took all day with multiple doses of Tylenol and a coke for the caffeine though.

saltandvinegar my kid LOVEs to swing in the snow!

[savigirl]

Thank you to all of you who recommended the unisom and b6 for nausea. I haven't had morning sickness x 2 days. I may try a 1/2 unisom tonight bc I am in a drug fog until about 10am which is making working and functioning in the am hard.

[caybeh]

My neck and shoulders are super tight. I can feel a headache coming on. I booked a massage for this afternoon so hopefully that will help. I'm going to try to get into my chiropractor tomorrow as I think my neck needs to be aligned.

Other than that, ugh I just feel yuck this week. I just feel weak and queasy. But my queasy comes after I eat and it doesn't matter how much I eat. I think tomorrow I'm going to try to eat some eggs for breakfast and see if the protein makes things better.

[salmon2017]

caybeh sorry you are having all the physical struggles right now! Good call on the massage.....
Glad to hear everyone's migraines have passed and that savigirl the unisom and b6 are helping!

[salmon2017]

At least once a day I get a terrible cramp in my uterus-ish region and freak out. And then I fart. You would think I would learn.

Many massage places won't do massages during first trimester for liability reasons (or because they are not properly trained in prenatal massages) so I'm surprised you found a place to go caybeh

I never thought of that. I just called and asked. I do get massages rather frequently, so they said I was probably ok but I decided to cancel. Maybe I'll still see if I can see my chiropractor. He treated me throughout my last pregnancy so that shouldn't be an issue.

[salmon2017]

@wicky I had no idea about that - thanks for the heads up!

[salmon2017]

Now that you mention it I do remember a massage therapist I went to yeeeears ago saying something about . . . . in the first tri all your blood needs to go to the placenta, so you don't want to have a massage since it draws your blood to other parts of your body. Or something. She was a bit hippy-dippy and I don't think I really bought into what she was saying.

Poor girl! How is she doing? We were in a Frozen kick where it was watched daily for probably 3 weeks.

Maybe I should save this for a UO or a FFFC by I HATE getting massages. I will buy them for H because he loves them but honestly few things sound worse to me than getting a massage.

[leviosa]

mambo, I hope she feels better soon. Enjoy the sick cuddles. I always do.

Anyone suffering from constipation, you just need a glass of prune juice and you will be cleaned out, lol. Just don't drink it two days in a row like I did. I over shot but man do I feel better.
