    Lol... I suffer from cts as it is.. sorry to hear that for you. Did she give you finger and wrist exercises and a brace? Im feeling OK. Have a vacation day today so I'm liking that... still tired, but hopefully the iron will helkp.
  • Nov 9, 2007, 10:07 AM
    curlybenswife
    No if I want the brace's I have to buy them and I'm not paying 20 pounds a piece lol

    startover22
    Awww, sorry to hear that CBW...
    In the US we have places besides the pharmacies to buy medical equipment and essentials like bandages, and braces... they are a whole lot cheaper! Maybe that is something you could consider? Sorry, I know it hurts and is so annoying.
  • Nov 9, 2007, 10:23 AM
    curlybenswife
    20 pounds was the cheapest that's like 40 dollars that's so not happening 80 dollars for two mmmmmmm I don't think so somehow
  • Nov 9, 2007, 10:25 AM
    startover22
    Wow... that is a lot...
    Hmmm, I will have to see what it is here... EBAY?
  • Nov 9, 2007, 10:37 AM
    curlybenswife
    No difference in price there either I have hunted high and low and I can't find them any cheeper id got for say ten pounds but not twenty that's mental 40 quid is like food shopping for the week. Ah well guess I wait for it to get so bad I can't do anything at the moment they just seize while doing stuff and I have to straighten my fingers with my elbows lol

    Well I'm 6 weeks pregnant but don't feel any different yet
    With my 1st I didn't have any signs until I was 9 weeks I'm slighty worried
  • Nov 10, 2007, 04:15 PM
    tamed
    CBw you poor thing, I didn't realise what you were going through. For some reason I kept forgetting to comment on your cts. So will it go away when Theo comes along? At least you have an extra excuse to not do much around the house!
    melissa1, I wouldn't worry too much about not getting any symptoms, remember every pregnancy is different and you are not that far along so you could wake up one day with all the symptoms or you may be one of the lucky women whose worst symptom would be bigger breasts! Congratulations though and I wish you all the best with the pregnancy.

    Ach ill live Tamed fingers crossed it does disappear I'm not good with people shoving things in my hands lol
    How are the rest of you doing??
  • Nov 11, 2007, 03:21 PM
    tamed
    I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you too. We're OK, one of the twins is growing at a single baby rate whereas the other is growing at the twin rate. Naturally, the registrars and consultants are running around to get me seen at the fetal medicine unit to make sure all is going well but other than that everything looks great. My stomach is getting lower but I hope these babies can hang in there for the three weeks at least. How's Theo doing? Doing any Christmas shopping this year, I'm using the babies as an excuse so I'm only going to be sending cards.

    Sadly I won't get away with not shopping bens family is a nightmare to shop for, for the pure fact there's so many of them and they think I'm made of money mines easy we only buy for the kids but then there's only 5 of us on my side of the family his is there are 13 of them its wrong if you ask me that they all expect pressents it should just be the neices and nephews but hey ho must just be me thinking that christmas is for the kids.
    Hey you have done very well keeping the wee ones safe and warm this long keep up the good work, I'm fine and theo is fine millie is just being millie lol nothing new there ;)

    Don't worry. In my first trimester, I didn't have the usual symptoms either.. I just knew I was pregnant and started taking vitamins and iron (didn't go to the doctor because I was not supposed to get pregnant due to heart problems, then in the 5th month, I went in and got scolded by him, but we both made it. I also did not have morning sickness - and neither did my daughter when she was pregnant - I guess that's just something that not every woman has.
    I did get an aversion toward Tide laundry detergent and cooking hamburger meat - the smell irritated me. I did have a lot of heartburn in the 2d and 3rd trimesters though.
    With my daughter, she had occasional heartburn, and tingling in her legs, but that was in the 2d trimester and got a little worse, but all in all she was fine.

    The best way to get reassured so that you are more relaxed is to have an ultrasound done.

    I wish all of you wonderful ladies happy and uneventful deliveries - well, as uneventful as possible - it does hurt a little.. ha.. ha.
