Update:

Well, just when I think the nausea and vomiting is settling down it comes back with a vengeance...its mostly around smells....and its surprising the smells that set me off....well almost anything anyway strong will set me off. Sweet perfume, curry, raw fish, boiling cabbage, burning toast..haha and my own morning breath!!! The supermarket is an interesting experience, I had to try the weekly shop three times in three different places before I made it the whole way around without having to leave!

I‘ve also broken out in a batch of cold sores around my mouth, I panicked a bit when I saw them coming up but the doc says that its harmless as I‘ve had them before so my body has anti-bodies which will be passed to the baby...wow, thats amazing!! They look very unsightly and I do not look or feel very good these days...yesterday at the shopping centre some old bat asked me if I‘d been eating chocolate ice-cream as it was still all over my mouth, to which I curtly replied "Actually its coldsores" I might also have added "Now out of my way b*tch or I‘ll vomit on you" but I decided against it!!!!

All of my underwire bra‘s have been packed away and already I‘ve gone up a cup size...I‘m a D cup...they are super-sensitve though so although my beloved is dying to get his mitts on my new bazookas...they are off-limits until the pain eases, poor bloke!! Ooohh what am I saying though, the other morning I was having a bit of a "moment" over being sick and I got a bit teary, he says "Oh grow up, millions of women have gone through this" HOW DARE HE. Its ok for a woman to say that to me (And yes, I know its true, much admiration for all who have gone before me...especially if you also had to look after children at the same time...how???) but for HIM to say it as he sat ruddy-cheeked and belly-full before going to work...well...I could have keyed his car right there and then.

Rant over...thank you ladies for allowing me to rant and record here!

You just make sure your beloved is in that delivery room with you Bubbles.  He will have a new respect for you!! 

My boobs killed during pregnancy also.  I have a lot of fibroidic (sp?) tissue in them so I understand the pain.  Just wait..........once the peanut is here and you are lactating, the smell in your bra will make you want to blow chunks!!  Not to mention all the unmentionable stuff your body will be evacuating out your coochie!! 

Bubbles....I can speak from experience since I have given birth to 5 babies.....those raging hormones are quite normal. 

I found that every pregnancy is different.  The hormones going crazy were worse for me in the early months and then again at the last.  Middle ways through the pregnancy, your hormones will calm down and adjust....but be prepared for the final month.  At least for me it was always the worse. Its hard to get comfortable to sleep, almost impossible.  Your moods will be like a roller coaster...mainly cause you will so want it to be over.  It will seem like you have been pregnant forever and your baby is never getting here.  The final 2 weeks, I always wanted to be left alone...."don‘t no one say anything to me cause I will bite your head off"...lol...but once that baby finally gets here, you will know it was all worth it.

Good luck to you with your pregnancy.... .

Do a lot of walking.....it will make labor a lot faster and easier.

Oh Yuk Busty....I had forgot about that yukie stuff coming out afterwards.....damn, I‘m sure glad my baby making days are over....lol....that is some nasty stuff.

Oh and Bubbles if you let babys daddy in the delivery room.....make sure the doc lets him cut the cord.  Let him have one of those moments he will never forget.  Hopefully, he won‘t get a glance of the after-birth in the pan....lol.   Cause if he does, he will never forget it either.

I was present in the delivery room when my grandson was born in December.  Birth is such an amazing experience.  I was a wee bit queasy at first, and thought to myself, "No wonder it hurt so much!!" but then as I watched the baby‘s head coming out of the birth canal, I was awestruck when I saw his eyes opening as he was being born.  That was amazing!

I wept with joy, and felt so honored that my daughter and her S/O invited me to be in the delivery room.  That was such a beautiful experience, and I will remember it always.

My daughter was nauseated the entire pregnancy.  I was one of the lucky ones (all 3 times) that nausea disappeared after the first trimester. 

I wish you nothing but joy, Bubble!  This will be the love affair of your life!

Thanks all!

Tula, how the hell did you do this all the way through? I was in hospital yesterday on a drip to get some fluids into me. Fingers crossed this all goes away in the next few weeks.

I have been having little chats with my mandarin (thats what I call it cause its that size)...I tell him/her how much I love them and that when they are here I‘m going to hug and kiss them and tell them I love them every day and that no matter what they are going to know they can always depend on mam for everything I will be here for them always.
