Hello-
Just checking in.
I've gone back to taking the Lac-E 30C once every 3 days and my mood seems to be slowly improving.
I've been incredibly cranky over the last week or so, partly due to my cold, which really was allergies- I had a bad attack last year as well, but this time I can't take decongestants.
Also I have been incredibly exhausted and feeling out of breath a lot (I know it's a common 2nd trimester thing) and it doesn't help being congested either. But it contributes to the grumpies. Anyways that's improving slowly...
Been having very difficult time waking up in the morning...it probably has a lot to do with the whole lack of oxygen thing...
I've been feeling the baby move/kick over the last week and a half...that's exciting :)

Hi there. I have been unwell for awhile, but I am back on board again.
Can you describe this out of breath and lack of oxygen feeling?
Describe more on the exhaustion too - as much detail as you can.
In fact give me everything that is different or exaggerated from normal.

Welcome back. Glad to hear you are better. And thank you for getting back to me.
The out of breath-ness has a lot to do with being congested I think; I find myself breathing kind of shallow most of the time, and then having to take big deep breaths occasionally that sound like sighs.
I often wake up feeling very lethargic and grumpy, I think I'm not getting enough oxygen in my sleep. (My OB told me around 20((I'm almost 18)) weeks sleeping on your back can cause this, so I tried side sleeping last night but it didn't help much.)
Also lots of forgetfulness associated; unable to really hold onto details, get confused easily. Kind of feel like things are happening around me but I'm stuck in a little hazy funk. When it's at its worst I am very cranky, irritable, and everything that everyone says to me seems irritatingly stupid and ...well just stupid.
I should also add that this bad mood/hazy funk has been following the same previous pattern of starting first thing in the morning and getting better around late afternoon; maybe 4-5pm.
The exhaustion is just like I feel heavy kind of but its not quite the same heavy as I would describe before...it's less like gravity pulling me down, and more like general fatigue (before it was like an external force pressing or pulling against me, now it is like my own body is heavy); moving of any sort is a chore...even exerting myself to extra thinking is laborious.
Sometimes walking up a short flight of stairs makes me practically pant and my leg muscles feel weak and burn. I feel almost a wave of heaviness and I have to pause and catch my breath.
I look pretty pale and my dark circles are fairly prominent lately. My husband keeps telling me how very tired I look. In a word I'd say I feel unenthusiastic.

So I was thinking about it, and doing a bit of Googling yesterday, and it really sounds like I'm anemic...everything I just described to you fits, most particularly the out of breath feeling.
I'm going to try eating Seaweed Soup for a few days and see how much that helps. My prenatals have 30mg (RDA is 27mg), so my body must just be having a hard time absorbing/utilizing it ...?? The soup should really help with that.
It's been 4 days since I last took my remedy.... I had the strangest dream last night...
Myself and a whole bunch of young people (age ranges from late 20's to small children, 5 or 6) were kidnapped and transported to this alternate dimension, taken away from our families and loved ones, and put in this camp type thing, run by my grandmother. (in real life she is a figure of wicked manipulation, twisted controlling, and emotionally and spiritually abusive.)
Her motive was to "train" us all to get through this maze with unspeakable horrors. The maze was in the form of large fully furnished houses, and we were all to find a way through by going in and exploring each room. Some rooms were dead ends, but others had doorways opening to the next room. Sometimes there were evil creatures hiding in the rooms and we had to be quiet to not wake them, and other times the test was to not disturb the furnishings, not get into the refrigerator even if we were hungry, and make it through without evidence of our presence.
We had to learn to work together and not separate the groups, and overcome our fears, because fear and panic seemed to trigger the monsters to wake up. Each group of kids were given a guide dog to help us through each daily test. Our dog was a very friendly hound dog.
Near the end of the dream I lead a revolt against the whole thing, and was trying desperately to get a hold of my husband, on the phone, through text, anything I could, but my attempts kept being thwarted. I was very panicked and frantic. That's when I woke up.

Hello-
So I took one last dose of the Lac-E 30C on May 24th (almost 2 weeks ago), and I am about 85% certain this remedy is no longer doing anything for me. I don't think it's doing anything negative, but it's not at all helping like it has been.
The extreme fatigue that I thought was possibly anemia, turned out to be an extreme Protein deficiency... I started drinking protein smoothies the weekend of the 24th and since then have had two a day, and I actually gained about 15 pounds in 10 days. Prior to that I had actually lost a few pounds in the whole of my first trimester, and I wasn't even vomiting.
Since starting the protein supplementation I have craved very little meat at all (before I was craving red meat specifically).
I feel much better energy-wise and mood-wise.
In the last two weeks my vivid crazy dreams have started up again, (I think before my body was just too exhausted to dream) And I've had some very strange ones. Two I can remember clearly, and also a third one that I can remember a reoccurring theme.
The first I dreamed that my baby was born and I was laying on a couch nursing, and my mother was watching over my shoulder. Then when I was done I sat up and handed the baby to my husband for a moment, then he set her on the couch and went off to go do something, and I went to pick her up and she disappeared. I thought that was weird but I continued to go through the motions of my dream as if she wasn't invisible. I "picked her up" and carried her to where my husband was, then the baby turned into a tiny brown baby rabbit. i handed her to my husband who put her in a cage with an adult rabbit. He was upset with me because I hadn't dressed her properly for the cold, and then the adult rabbit started to aggressively push the baby bunny out of the cage. It scared her and she darted out the door and away across a field and into a barn and hid in between hay bales. I called for her to try to soothe her but she was too scared. Then she took off down a road and was gone. ----
--the one with the similar theme was of me talking to my nephew and trying to tell him something extremely important and then he disappeared/became invisible. But I kept talking to him as if he was still there.---
(this disappearing thing actually happens quite often in my dreams, it just hasn't in a while.)
the third dream was very real. After my husband left for work in the morning I dreamed that he forgot to lock the front door, and I heard two men talking in the breezeway outside, saying they were going to break in and if only one person was home they could injure them and it would be fine. I quickly locked the door and made some noise so they would know someone was home, but they said "its only one person." and they went around to the balcony and came in through the slider by breaking the lock. I grabbed my three pets and ran into my bedroom and closed the door. I felt extremely threatened and terrified because I was defenseless... I hid in my closet and dialed 911 and the operator was screening my call. She told me not to worry cause they will go away once they realize someone is home. I said, "no you don't understand! They're already inside! They know I'm here!" and she put me on with an officer who was equally dismissive. I woke up just before the robbers came into the bedroom. My heart was pounding when I woke up.
Physically I've been feeling OK, back aches and hip issues..Also I've been feeling incredibly thirsty for water just before bed. Still having persistent mild acne.
The baby is doing great; he or she is very active on most days, I've been able to feel kicks and movements since about 15 weeks. We have our 20 week anatomy scan next week and we will find out the gender. I'm very excited. I'm starting to feel a little anxious when I think about all the things we have left to do to get ready for a baby in our home, and considering I only have 4 months to go!
Anyways, I'm wondering what my next step is.
Also I'm wondering about using homeopathy during labor, what is your stance on that, and how do you usually recommend in that scenario?
Thank's. Have a great weekend.
