Got Baby? Avez vous un bebe?

[Ontarkie 14,307]

Congrats on a little girl Marilyn. I guess it worked out perfect since you and your husband couldn't figure out a boys name yet. I would stick to the name you picked out it, even if someone did complain its not like they own the name. I have the same name as a few cousins, so maybe that's why I could careless

Have you tried a Neti Pot? I find it does wonders for me.

I’m going to have to buy distilled water to use mine down south though. Some weird bacteria or something can be present in the water.

I don't use a neti pot, it doesn't work for me. But my husband does, what weird bacteria do I need to be worried about?

[Marilyn. 340]

oh no one has complained...

It was somethign in the water down south, it killed 2 ppl in Louisianna i think? some runoff from lakes rivers etc. thats why they recommend you use bottled / boiled, distilled water.

was looking it up but it seems too weird for me LOL.

Marilyn, use whatever name you want, its your baby, and like you said, you barely see that part of the family anyways. If i were the extended family i'd be happy to know you chose a similar name! lol.

Been feeling so much better lately (I'm currently 16 weeks), with the occasional hiccup. Managed to eat most dinner last night except the rice didn't stay down. I had lots of salad, fruit, cereal, etc etc and thought I was doing pretty good at eating. Then this morning I woke up with a huge headache that is better but STILL bugging me this afternoon, and weighed myself to discover I'm down another pound this week. So discouraging. I also ate a banana and it came up and then some. I suppose the moral of the story is, even if I am feeling a lot better I still need to take my anti nausea pill. That and probably buy myself some type of high calorie shakes.

i was like that too, if i missed a pill i was even more sick. you can always try those Seabands i think they are called..pressure bandages for the wrists i think? Also forcing myself to eat when i felt sick alot actually helped me on some days too.

headaches. well i always got migraines and they always made me sick, just now its worse cuz i'm only allowed to take Tylenol, and not my Fiorinol (hospital meds) or Advil. so i jsut bury myself in the dark cold bedroom.

Exactly as Kimbear said. Although I was mistaken and it was an amoeba not bacteria and pretty rare.

But distilled or boiling the water then letting it cool is supposed to kill it.

Marilyn, totally stick with the name. Random relative long removed, whatever.

Belly is really getting stretched today. Ouchy! Eating every 2 hours to keep nausea at bay!

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah, I am keeping it but I guess I am just disappointed because I thought I had picked a name that no one I knew had..

[Marilyn. 340]

I told my husband's aunt the other day that we were expecting a girl. She got all excited. She was like, "now I can start shopping"...lol i told her I already had a registry started at Target and she got all happy because she loves shopping at Target. I have a feeling this kid is going to be spoiled...lol

[lilacvioletiris 11]

Marilyn, that is so cool!

I know my sisters will be into buying lots of things for my twins. Today my sister texted me that she bought me the twin breast feeding pillow. Once I know what I am having - boy/girl, 2 girls or 2 boys - I know they will go nuts. My aunts and uncles will ecstatic when they find out. I have some pictures I am goign to make into a collage and mail them for "mother's day" to announce our twin pregnancy. I am so excited!

[Marilyn. 340]

these silly progesterone shots are kicking my butt. I get cramps a few times a week since I started them. It is going to be a long coupe of months. I know it will be worth it in the end. But my husband freaks out every time I get the cramps

[lilacvioletiris 11]

Yeah Marilyn, I am doing the progesterone suppositories. So annoying that the cramps make me think I am getting my period. I see my doctor on Tuesday. Probably another month on the progesterone supplementation. I hope that both babies are doing well. I am going to mail out a picture card to my aunts and uncles to announce the twins if all is well.

[Marilyn. 340]

grrr, I am kind of ticked at my doctor's office. I recently found out that the pharmacy they used to get my progesterone was out of network with my insurance. So I asked today if they could use an in-network pharmacy and they told me I have to call my insurance to find one.. Why can't they do that?

I really like my doctor and all the people that work in the office but it doesn't seem like they like to do extra work. They just use places they always use regardless of the person's insurance

odd. they always let me pick my own pharmacy and ask me where to send my presciptions. And i never knew pharmacies had to be in network too! i just use the walgreens down the street or the meijer since at miejer the prenatals are free.

can you transfer your prescription to another pharmacy?

[Marilyn. 340]

this prescription has to come from a special pharmacy, I think it is called a compounding pharmacy.

for regular prescriptions they do ask me where to send it..

[Marilyn. 340]

my husband does all the housework now. I think he does it better then I do..lol

I found a tonne of in-network compounding pharmacies that are in-network and that are in the area.

the one they use is located in New Jersey..
