Good morning ladies

MsDee - yay!!! I hope you passed with flying colours. your body will tell you when to slow down re the exercise

TaNasha - also give raspberry and chai a skip you can have 200mg caffiene a day. colouring your hair - give a skip for the first trimester and tell your colourist. nail polish and remover is fine.

Niknaks - I am so sorry re your work.. hun I would have burst into tears...

Phillippa - I hope it subsides soon, you really have had it tough

Esmari - I hope you are having a better day.

No news my side, just this tum is starting to grow now hee hee

Okay, I'm up

How has everyone been?

I wrote my board exam yesterday & now I'm free! Yay!
Thanks to those who wished me luck.

About the excercise question I posted, thanks for those who took the time to reply. Just wanted to see if I'm not maybe over doing things! I'm a bit of a health freak but I wouldn't wanna put my baby's health at risk.

Sorry to those still experiencing MS ESP u Philipajane. Sounds like yours is extreme.

Welcome to all the new movies to be.

Will do personal replies tomorrow was just popping in to say hi to everyone at 1:50 am!

LOl... oh the Dos and Don'ts of pregnancy Well, nail polish and remover is fine... you should just be careful of certain herbal teas. Most have caffeine in them, but some could even cause contractions (I think peppermint tea is one). So maybe just google them before you drink them. Apparently ginger tea is good for you, and I wanted to buy some when I had morning sickness, but just never got round to it.

I must admit I drink a cup of coffee every now and then, which I definitely didn't do the first time round. I won't drink more than 2 cups a week, I like to think me not drinking caffeine will make my baby peaceful when he/ she is born hah.

Esmari, shame, I think we all have days like that. Must be the hormones all trying to balance out. I hope you feel better now.

Philipajane you have all the sympathy in the world from me. Shame, I really hope the ms starts going away soon. What tablets do you take? I've heard of zofran or something for extreme morning sickness. But have you tried Emex syrup and all that jazz?

I had the worst day ever. I went to school to do my reports and was told by the head of music that they are getting someone in my place from the beginning of the 2nd term, right up until the end of the 3rd term. I was planning on finishing up my classes a little earlier in the 2nd term, but still being there, as I am private and not part of the school, so no work = no pay. I was so shocked at what she said that I didn't even argue, I just agreed. But when she left my class, I started crying and just couldn't stop. As a result, I had one MASSIVE migraine... and yay for panado, which didn't help.

I know the whole "when one door closes, another opens" thing, I just don't like being stuck outside before the other has opened... and that's where I am right now. I'm so angry at them for being so insensitive, but I sort of understand their situation. I just feel they could have been more sensitive, considering I don't earn a salary.

Anyway that was my day. I know tomorrow will be better because... I'm at home!

Hope you all sleep tight!

p.s. HI to everyone I missed

and what about tea? i love `welness`and herbal teas!

Is it ok to use nail polish and nail polish remover and colour my hair while pregnant?
