might have spoke too soon re spotting. Just when I think Ok it has been ages, might be nothing I get it again. Still light as ever.

And I forgot to mention, If I didn't know any better I would swear I could feel movements, so different to my first where I never got the little flutters, it is almost like I can feel something. But it would be too early.

Dream- hope you're ok and the spotting has stopped.

Cheekymonkey- We have a very similar age gap, DS will be just under 22 months when this one is born. Haha, I was also caught out thinking to allow for several months TTC and this time bang we feel pregnant first time!

Had a crap night's sleep last night so felt yucky today, but stuck to food I felt like so didn't feel as nauseated today. Am telling my parents and brother tomorrow so that's exciting, I feel a bit nervous which is ridiculous because I got married ages ago and we've already had DS.
8 weeks today, can't wait til I make it out of the first trimester and I can feel a bit more confident.

Had my appointment, got a referral for US so will call and book in Monday.

The Dr had a feel of my tummy and said to herself "Hmmm maybe something, but is down low', so not sure if that means she expected it to be hire or not.

Dream a little dream - Good luck for your scan

Cheeky monkey - "There will be a lot worse going on during labour" so so true! haha

Like most of you it is getting so hard not to tell people and I am only 7.7 weeks along! Especially at social functions and stuff where I am not drinking

Have decided I will tell my mum when she comes to visit in a couple of weeks (and then the in laws by phone) but not tell everyone else till 12-13 weeks.

Well, told my mum, dad and brother today so it's nice that it's out there a little bit. Just need to decide when to tell the in laws and that's it for now.

Feel yuck today

Good Evening Ladies,

Still feeling very tired, have been sleeping soooooo much!!!!!

Going away for 2 nights tomorrow to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary which is on wednesday! Staying at the hunter valley, so planning to relax around the pool and eat lots of good food (always good when i dont feel like cooking)

I just hope this tiredness goes away before im due to go back to work, i cant see myself standing on my feet for 8 hrs.
Everyday im told or see on internet the foods to avoid when pregnant, so many things that i have already had its so confusing! i am also paranoid as this is my first bub

Dream - can't imagine the feelings you must be going through with the spotting, hopefully it's just some old blood sitting in the wrong spot. I worry about everything anyway even though I have never had spotting this preg or last. Also, it's still very early to feel much through the tummy.

Simone - can't imagine what kind of nightmare it will be with 2 little ones as I sometimes have trouble keeping up with ds now! i just have to get him a bit more independent in play and keeping himself more occupied - at the moment all he wants is to be with me, or to do what I am doing, or me reading to him etc, although I absolutely love him to bits, it would make being a sahm a bit easier. Yay for telling your family - i am sure they are thrilled.

ran - very much true about labour - i turned out to be a lot less self conscious last time than I thought I would ever be, and I was naked in front of a lot of people, the pain sort of kept me from worrying about that too much so I am sure your other half will have fun I can't remember, is this your first?

angela - with you there on the tiredness - glad my ds has been giving me pretty much full night sleeps. Hoping it eases a bit for you. As for the foods, mostly just remember to steer clear of soft cheeses, cold meats, pre prepared/packaged salads etc etc. You are pretty much fine with most things if they are cooked until really hot and eaten hot as that will get rid of most bacteria, but yes it makes choosing what to eat a bit painful at times. One thing I found later in my last preg was alfalfa was out, there are a lot of things you don't think about. i have probably eaten a few things I shouldn't have so far, but keep reminding myself not to. And it is not paranoia, it's just love

as for me, not much in terms of feeling off anymore, wondering if it has settled down for me at the moment. still tired at times, and can feel my clothes starting to get tighter. Hard to think I'm preggers when you don't really 'feel' it. Scan is in 1.5 weeks, not soon enough

Welcome cheekymonkey

I am still not up for personals just yet but I am reading along and thinking of you all.

I have been sick all day today, and I now have these like burst blood vessels around my eyes, I look awful. I am not sure what is going on, I assume that maybe I am dehydrated. I am due to go back to work tomorrow but I think I am going to have to make a time to see my doctor.

My whole body aches as if I have the flu, especially around my shoulder and neck. Maybe that is from throwing up so much. Due to not being able to face much food most of the time I throw up I am dry reaching a lot with only that disgusting stomach acid coming up.

I am really not looking forward to facing work tomorrow.

Thanks for listening to me sook. I am totally grateful, I just can't wait for 12 weeks so the stress and the illness can hopefully ease

Angela - i have had bean sprouts a couple of times and then felt guilty but sometimes when you are eating out they dont always specify in asian restaraunts that there will be bean sprouts. ALso, fetta by accident. SO much guilt but what can you do, I cant be perfect all the time I miss sushi and soft cheeses and salami SO much!

Hold on tight - your MS sounds really bad! I think maybe you should take some sick leave?

cheeky monkey - this is my first hence the lots of stupid questions and stresses. I am sure I will get used to it eventually!

Simone - yay for telling people. I cant wait

AFM - dating scan tommorrow, my MS is still quite bad and makes me not want to exersize which makes it so much worse! Cannot wait till 2nd trimester when the sectret is all out and the M/S (hopefully) stops. I dont think I am the best pregnant lady!

I am craving vanilla slice quite badly. I think it is out though due to the custard. Anyone know?

I called in sick today and went to the doctor.

I woke up this morning with little bumps all over me.

He thinks I have an allegy and I have to got for some blood & urine tests to see. My temp and blood pressure was good.

He also mentioned my last scan was excellent.

He wants me to go see the specialist (ob gyn) asap. He tried calling in the spot but his office was closed for lunch.

I have had previous miscarriages, I just hope I am not allergic to a pregnancy hormone or something. I haven't eaten or had anything out of the norm.

I'm trying to take all this as a positive as other pregnancies that resulted in m/c had no m/s. My silver lining.

Hold on tight- How awful I'm glad you've been to see the doctor after your last post I was really starting to worry. If you think you're dehydrated it's very important to get medical help.
Take care and let us know how you're going, I hope the bumps disappear and they find out what's causing it.

Ran- good luck for the scan tomorrow. I'm not sure about the custard, haven't read it in the lists I have read for food to avoid. Is it in case there is raw or undercooked egg in it?

Cheekymonkey- yes my DS is the same, wants me there alongside him all day. It's exhausting. And if I don't he destroys the house.

Angela- I hope you have a lovely anniversary

Not much happening here. My appetite has really started to disappear. Got two job interviews on Wednesday, fingers crossed I get at least one offer as I don't have that much time left before I start to show. I started showing at about 12-13 weeks last time so probably only have a couple of weeks left this time round.

sorry you are feeling so crappy hold on, hope it settles down for you soon. P.S Sook away.

ran - as long as things are cooked very thoroughly, ie bean sprouts etc, i don't think they pose a risk as long as you eat them hot. i think feta is ok if you get a pasteurized/homogenized one, and again if it is cooked hot. no such things as silly questions, we all have them, 1st time or not Again with vanilla slice, if it is a packaged one, or one that you make yourself and the ingredients are cooked you should be fine. The one thing I think people should steer clear of when eating out it chicken, as I had it last time I was pregnant and I think it was undercooked and boy was I sick that night, not good on a baby moon holiday. The only time I got sick was either in the car, or eating something questionable, which you don't really think of at the time. Good luck with the scan.

Good luck with the interviews Simone, I always hate interviews!!

I rabbit on a bit don't I???

I am feeling ok, albeit a little tired. Hurry up ultrasound!!

Had my dating scan today, the new EDD is 3rd October. Does that mean you guys are going to chuck me out of this group?

I actually dont believe it as I found postitive HPT on the 20th January and from that calculation i would be at least 7 weeks 5 days. Surely the HPT wouldnt show anything before 4 weeks?

the sonographer was very quick with the measurement and the length changed depending on which angle it was done at

For 2nd time mums, how accurate was your dating scan if you had one?

I am mostly sad because it means more weeks of morning sickness and not telling people ;(

Hoping everyone is feeling well and the morning sickness is decreasing for all! especially you hold on tight

Ran- you can always stick to your original due date if you think it might be wrong. They often change, a lot! When I was preg with D I got a very very faint BFP 2 days before my period was due. It was extremely faint though.

My dating scan showed me to be due 23rd of November last time, I gave birth on the 3rd of December! DS was definitely overdue though, had all the classic signs and by 10 days late had grown to epic proportions and was 4.46 kg at birth!

Hope you're coping Hold on tight.

I'm not feeling very pregnant lately, maybe I am just getting more sleep??

Don't worry too much about the scans Ran re the - they are pretty much a guestimate depending on how accurate the sonographer is. Mine only changed a couple of days last time but I kept using the earlier date I went way overdue, ie due on 16th dec, delivered on 27th so it doesn't really matter. Are you having a nuchal scan??

Hi ladies

Mind if I join this crowd? I'm due 10th September. After several months of fertility treatment (clomid, pregnyl injections and IUI) so i'm insanely happy! yeeeaaaahhhh I've told everyone withing a ten mile radius that I'm pregnant despite previous mc. I figure any bad news again is lighter burden shared. So atm I'm 10 weeks...Woot!

I already have a very energetic 3 year old Amelie and can't wait for our little family to expand. I've been experiencing the joy of all day nausea from pretty much day dot. And the fatigue! oh my goodness. That has really knocked me around. I sleep all through the weekend... I think I'm on the home stretch though. I haven't passed out at 8pm tonight and nausea hasn't hit me today... But the increased sense of smell... Whooooaaaa, that is full on and seems everlasting.

Anyways, I'll add to the questions from earlier in the thread cauze I enjoyed reading everyone elses....


Do you have a feeling about the sex?

Nope, not yet.

Will you find out the sex?

Nope, hubby wants a surprise like last time and I grudgingly agree. It may curb my spending

Do you have any names picked out?

We have a left over boys name that we would looooove to use.

Public or Private?

I had private last time and the treatment was horrid. This time I want public.
It depends on the hospital and obs but what I find in brissy is that generally public is better if you want birth without early intervention and good postnatal care. I've worked in postnatal both public and private as a nurse and have found this to be true in brissy. I can't say what it is like in other cities though and depends on what you want really. Both have their good points and bad points.

Are you going to have a baby shower?

nope.

Have you made any purchases yet?

oooooo! I am soooo itching to but am holding off till the nuchal scan.... then, BAM, shopping spree! lol

Hi all

Welcome Neek!!!

Ran: My dating scan with DD was out by 2 weeks. She was supposedly due on the 4th of March by Dating scan, Doctors EDD was 22 Feb and she was born on 19 Feb. I'm not really a fan of the dating scan other than to make sure that everything is ok. I actually think they cause more worry than not. I know 3 people IRL who have had them and had similar experiences to mine where they were told at the scan that they would lose the baby, then went on to have extremely healthy pregnancies.

Cheeky: I have days where I barely feel pregnant at all then there are others where its extremely hard to forget.

Hold on tight: sook away. Its what the first trimester is all about. Hope that you are feeling better soon.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

AFM: I have 6 days until my scan. We shall find out where things are then. When I had the scan at the Obs we couldn't see a lot as I hadn't had enough to drink. He seemed to think that I was about a week off with my calculations but couldn't be certain but if that was the case I would have got my BFP at 5 dpo so it doesn't really make a lot of sense. We shall see. DD's birthday is this weekend so spending thurs and fri baking and making things for that.

Ooohhh Neek how exciting to have you here.

I told my husband the date for the NT scan and I think he is bit upset he can't be there. He has to have his own medical test thing done the same day but at somewhere hours away. Unfortunately he got his notification before I got the referral for my scan. And my scan they only do between 12 weeks and 13weeks 6 days here (which means if the dates they had on the scan were wrong I would be stuffed). And they only have certain sonographers that can do them there too.

He has to call and confirm his appointment in week or so, so I guess if possible he will put it off, but if not I will go alone.

Thanks all for the dating scan info, i think i am still going by my own feeling as to when i got pregnant haha.

Dream a little dream - sorry that you hubbie cant make the 12 week scan. My hubbie missed my first OB appointment and he was dissapointed. Maybe just make sure he comes to the 20 week!!

Neek - welcome and congratulations!

cheeky monkey - i am having a nuchal scan so i guess things will sort themselves out a bit then. I was concerned becasue i thought they needed the exact date to have good measurements for the nuchal scan but i guess i just wait and see how it goes. My main concern was more weeks of m/s haha

I have been feeling that this child is a boy for some reason (surely only boys can give me this much naseua haha) but if the dating scan is right, we hadnt had sex for a couple of days when i would have conceived so that probably makes it a girl. i think i am thinking about this all too much!

I am going to yoga tonight and for a jog tommorrow. Becasue of the m/s i have been lazing around and sleeping a lot but i feel really unfit and fat so have decided to just bite the bullet and do something! just need to make sure i eat before hand i guess.

Hope everyone has a nice day

Welcome & Congrats Neek.

Ran, I am having similar issues with you regarding the dating scan, they are telling me I am due on 29/9 but I know by conception I am due on 25/9 - I know its only four days, but it still bugs me.

Dream, I am sorry your husband can't make it to the scan with you, can you take a girlfriend or family member? It would be nice to have someone "oooo and ahhh" with you.

Mac, Only five days now! You must be busting, I have had three scans already weekly (the last three Thursdays) up until now and I am a little sad about not seeing the development this Thursday.

AFM:

I am back at work today, and yesterday, still not feeling great but much much better.

I have my first OB/GYN appointment on 23/02

I can't recall if I mentioned, but I came out in a rash at the peek of my sickness and I had burst veins around my eyes. I went for some tests but all came back clear. Dr thinks rash was probably a symptom of being dehydrated and the veins caused from the pressure from throwing up so much.

I am hoping all of that is well and truly behind me now.

I haven't had much of an appetite but I can certainly afford to lose a few kgs before the pregnancy weight starts to pile on.


I hope everyone is happy and healthy, and that it is smooth sailing to that next trimester for all of us!

Welcome Neek, thats great news!

Well our short break to the hunter valley was shortened due to me having back pain and the day spa up there would not massage due to me being in the first trimester, so we ended up coming home and i went for a massage back home. i felt really bad for my hubby but i could not relax and just had to come home.

Cheekymonkey- Im feeling the same as you, the only symptons i have had is sore breasts and tiredness. It still feels like a dream for me. I have to wait till 17th March for my scan which is still 4 weeks away i thought i would wait til the 12 week mark instead of having the dating scan done first.
I changed my mind this morning and tried to get in for a dating scan but nothing available til next week so now i just have to hope the next 4 weeks fly by!

Looks like im the last to have my scan!

Hope everyone is feeling good xoxo

Hi ladies!

Sorry havent been on here for ages, only have the net on my phone now so have to wait til i come to my parents on wednesdays to update.

I have been really sick, so much im on maxolin, but now its giving me cramps so have halved my dosage. At least im eating again, because as tiny as I am losin 4 kgs was not healthy!!!

I had a scan and it has pushed me back a week so only 8 weeks now and due on 30th sep! But i still want to go off my dates

Is anyone starting to show yet? I'm not but I can definitely feel a hardness on my pelvic line. How exciting

Welcome Neek


I don't know if I would call it showing but I started to show at 12 weeks last time, and this time can feel a hardness sometimes. My stomach muscles are pretty shot from having Dan so I think I'll show soon. I'm only short so I don't have much room to hide a baby.

Hope everyone is well today, I am just updating the list

Hi all

bought some maternity pants today. i just cant stand my normal pants at the moment they all dig in. i think i put some weight on too though that is just fat

might be too early at 8 weeks for maternity pants but oh well

m/s still quite bad, to be honest i am a bit over it and want to start enjoying food again!

hope everyone is doing well and have a nice weekend planned

At lot of my pants are tight around the waist. I have stopped wearing my shorts as they are too tight. But I haven't put any weigh on, maybe just all in my head. Although when the Dr felt last week, she couldn't really feel anything, I think I might be able to just above the bone.

Two weeks til my scan, hanging out to see if everything is ok.

Just putting my scan on the list

How was everyone's weekend?

I was reallllly sick on Saturday, plus just had a rough/hormonal day

Though I had a really great day on Sunday, didn't do anything but chill out at home but was only sick once in the morning, and started to get my appetite back, I even drank ummm.. two litres of chocolate milk hahaha!

I got to work on time this morning, and I am pretty confident that I will last the whole day, I haven't been sick at all today *touch wood*

Looking forward to getting though these last few weeks of the first tri so I can start telling my family & friends and BUYING some baby items

Hope everyone is well xox

Hold on tight- Weddings and babies everyone has an opinion. I would just get your DH to make it clear that as it is your news you will be telling who you want, when you want. Make sure you get in first with important rellies.

Chocolate milk is great isn't it. I've had heartburn and it really helps.

Not much going on here. We went to see a private obs last week on Friday, loved him. But can't get past the costs. We paid $200 for that visit, then there is a $2500 management fee after that. If it was just those costs it would be ok but then there's a $250 excess to go into hospital, plus any gaps to be paid in hospital which I won't know about til later. It really worries me knowing there's a chance I could go in and have all these extra bills. Especially as it is likely I will need a second caesarean I just don't know what to do, and I have to decide soon.

Hey everyone,

Hope you are feeling/having less and less ms.

I had my blood test for the nuchal scan today, and although it was painless as usual, looks like
I will have a bit of a bruise

I am definitely showing (maybe only in my eyes ), but am still conscious of not showing everybody just yet, will be able to let it all hang out soon!! Scan on thursday. good luck to neek for your scan on wed, got in before me The scan place said that I don't have to have a full bladder for the scan, but I am ensuring I drink some before just in case they got it wrong... last scan i had to drink, so not sure, we will see.

12 weeks tomorrow!!!

Interesting you say Simone, I heard the other day it would cost us $3-$4k out of pocket to go private even though we have top hospital and top extras. Doesn't make sense to me at all.

Especially because we live in a Country Region so we do not even have a private hospital. So my treatment will be identical to a public patient.

I heard that I can elect to be a public patient but apparently I will be treated poorly if they know I have insurance but opt not to use it.

Doesn't seem fair.

Just like all patients of that hospital I will only get a private room if they are available. Friends of mine who have were public had their own room, where others who were private didn't. It was all dependent on how many woman in the area were giving birth at that time.

The main reason I am going public is because the costs of private are silly. And health insurance only covers for some of your time in hospital. I have no problem with the public system generally speaking, but that is probably because I have worked in hospitals for a number of years.

Going privately in a public hospital only means you have your choice of doctor, not your choice of room. (I think room allocation is dependent on clinical need and how busy it is) I was lucky to get my own room last time, not that it helped me get any more sleep etc Not sure what going to a private hospital is like though.

I am happy with my treatment so far in the public system (from last time), just hope it is better than the GPs i have been dealing with lately this time round. If I happen to be in a situation where I am not happy with the treatment/options/decisions etc, I always have the option of paying the money and seeing someone privately.

Hi ladies

Simone: I went private last time and whilst we were told that we would be out of pocket a fair bit, when it came down to it we were only really out of pocket about $200 and that was on the scans and blood tests. A good tip is to keep a copy of all your receipts as you can claim more back at tax time if you are out of pocket more than $1000 for medical expenses.

The reason we are going private is because our local public hospital is, hmm nice way to put this, crap. Most of the people I know who have gone there have been sent home too early, as in after having a caesarean they have been sent home after 2 days with no choice to stay longer. Besides we are both comfortable with our obs and he knows my case history, which this time is really important.

Hold on Tight: I would be a bit mad too. We've already told important people as my DH can't keep his mouth shut about it. Needless to say he's a little excited. They are waiting for us to tell them its ok to tell others though.

Cheeky: I've been showing on and off for a couple of weeks now. Its hard though cause I can't hide a lot of it. So I'm going maternity wear shopping soon.

Waving to everyone I've missed.

AFM: Had NT scan done today. I'm actually 11wks 2 days so a little behind the due date originally given. Everything is good though low risk for all. Got given lots of photo's to obsess over for the next couple of weeks. Now just waiting for next obs appointment.

We are going private and I think we will be out of pocket probably 3K. The OBs fees are the main cause as these are not claimable on private health insurance and only about 400 bucks from medicare. I mainly want to go private so that i have more time in the hospital as this is my first... probably for my next (if I am brave enough to have any more after the m/s this time!) I will go public when i know a bit better what is going on.

although i have bought maternity pants i am not wearing them yet, not sure I am ready pyscologically (sp) !!

BTW i wish i could drink milk! I have gone off milk, meat, vegetables, yoghurt haha. oh dear...

Hope everyone has a nice day. i am hoping i hold out ok today, i tend to need to take quite a few walks during the day to get fresh air. I have an early important presentation I need to give to the US next week and I hope I dont feel too sick for it!

Well I just went to a lunch for work and ordered something which was notthing like I thought it would be. Came out with sundried tomatoes, olives, capers fetta, everything to avoid and this dish had it, not heated cold. And I had just banged on about how hungry I was so couldn't even avoid it.

That's it from now on it's just chips, at least I know they are ok, though crap healthwise.

OMG that happens to me all the time. ANd chips are the only thing that seem to be ok but they are so unhealthy!

I actually have no idea what I am going to buy for lunch today it is sooo hard. I got some udon noodles yesterday and they cam with bean sprouts, bean sprouts seem to be in everything and so hard to pick ouot of a dish!!

lunches are so hard!! It would be nice to get a salad and cold meat sandwich!!

boohoo

just got back from obs and he pushed my dates back five days, no amount of arguing was going to change his mind.

though i did get to see my little rocky waving around hehehe, he moves and his heart beat is nice and strong.

so I am back to 8w 6d today and due on 29/09

he also prescribed maxalon and gave dh a big of a stern talking to about being more sympathetic to my sever morning sickness, he said that him cooking and cleaning is not enough, he also has to be understanding of how awful i am feeling.

i have appointments for the next three wednesdays, so will just have to keep on holding on.

Hi ladies

Hold on tight: Sorry about your date being moved back. Its not fair when your doc does that, mine has been moved backwards too but I know our delivery date so that makes it a little easier to deal with.

Ran and Dream: I know it's probably too late now but is there a place nearby that makes food to order. When I was working and pregnant with DD I went to a make to order place and requested exactly what I wanted. Other than that I would take from home, make a meal big enough for 3 or 4 and reheat (that's if your office has a microwave or oven). Cup of Soups work well too if you like those.

AFM: I'm almost out of the first trimester, Saturday is the day to mark on the calendar but that makes me really nervous thinking about it like that. It means that in just over 6 months I'll have 2 little ones. Today DD has been enough and I haven't been feeling great so its not been very easy with her today. I'm hoping that once our renovations are over and I can get some safe places back in the house then it will be much easier with her. DH just doesn't quite understand how exhausting it is to be baking a new bub and running around after our DD as she is discovering the house on a daily basis, opening drawers and cupboards, and I pretty much go to bed at night absolutely shattered. (Sorry turned in to a little whinge there, didn't mean it to).

Been trying to do some online shopping for maternity wear today but am really nervous about purchasing anything as I'm not 100% on the websites and sizes.

Just realised I haven't updated the list with my new Due date;

Hope your DH listens!

How many are anon in here?

10 weeks this Saturday, cannot wait until the end of the first trimester. After feeling just awful on the weekend, have been feeling better the last few days though am going through more extreme fatigue, falling asleep at 9:30 each night. Hopefully I am over the hump with nausea, it went away at the 12-13 week mark almost completely last time.

Am going back to work after DS finally next week so looking forward to saving some money for the new baby very soon. Will be working Wednesdays and Fridays, it may do me some good to have a little break from caring for DS everyday while I get ready for the new baby.

I am anon, but really, I am not a very well know member anyway, I just don't want to risk friends or family finding out by accident, I am really excited to be able to tell people once I get to 12 weeks.

I still really think that I am having a boy, I find myself calling him... him all the time, I say he this or he that... Can't wait to find out if I am right or not as I said, I have about 50% of being right

I'm totally out in the open. People know now so it doesn't really matter. Besides my DH was running around telling people when we were 9 weeks so no point in trying to hide it really.

Simone: hope you start feeling better. MS is just awful.

Hold on tight: definitely a 50% chance.

AFM: DH is hoping that we have another girl. He thinks a girl will be better for DD than a boy where as I think the opposite. I'm really not sure this time. Have no instinct whatsoever. I thought DD was a boy right up until the end this time I'm just not sure and given that this pregnancy is so different from the last I really don't want to judge.

No one really knows me so I am basically anon

Well, good news for me, I had my nuchal scan today and all is as it should be which is a great relief. Baby was lying back relaxing and then I got to empty my bladder and bub woke up, just like it couldn't get comfy again

Still not 100% on the due date, but it would only be a day or two either side, so I will keep that the same for now until I speak with someone.

Hope everyone is feeling better as the time goes on.

Oh, and I have also started using my belly belt to give my pants that little bit extra room not sure if that is baby or a better appetite

so happy and relieved right now, I can tell the world!!

Glad your scan went well Monkey

AFM I just threw up dinner and got to see dinner come out of my nose even.

I hope that my night relief isn't going away now, I am struggling with feeling so sick all day, I can't handle nights like this too
