The amount you are using is so small that it won't really build up in your system. When I googled a while ago (currently pregnant) I couldn't find anything definitive. As it is essentially deemed a "herbal supplement" people don't really know. So don't drink bottles of it or anything! :) i would assume it is safer than taking a medication of some kind though. I have used it during my pregnancy when I have needed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2324061 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 22:37:00 +0000 Alivoo01 2324061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: @Mrs. Goose: the tea tree oil is working great!! And it kind of works as a numbing agent also so thank you so much for the recommendation ladies!! But i had a question, is it okay to use while pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2322381 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 17:50:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2322381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: @mrs.shinerblock: @truth bombs: update- had to go and sit in the jury pool all day. First case called involved reckless endangerment of a child, so yeah, the pregnant mom to a toddler was swiftly excused! Second case I said I had a 2 year old and no child care and was excused. But I had to sit there all day long. Why couldn't I say they that when I walked in at 8:30? </p> <p>On the plus side my back actually feels a little better after not picking the toddler up all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321449 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 11:37:01 +0000 MrsTiz 2321449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lightning crotch above anything else. I have a million things to complain about but not being able to play with LO, walk, kick the football with DH, all of that makes me feel like a worthless blob. It's sad to not be able to sit on the floor and play trucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321447 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 11:36:03 +0000 MamaBear87 2321447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And thanks everyone for the tea tree oil suggestion. My hubby gets terrible canker sores, going to try this for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321443 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 11:35:07 +0000 MamaBear87 2321443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pelvis feels like it's in about 4 pieces at this point. And my mil (who I love and is generally great) texts this morning....how are you? Still no baby?.....I wanted to jump thru the phone. Of course we will tell you when baby is eminent. And yes I am still prego, don't remind me! </p> <p>This thread is brilliant! Feels good to complain :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321362 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 11:10:22 +0000 Alivoo01 2321362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: @Mrs. Goose: Thanks ladies! I already DH we're picking some up today for sure. I'm so ready for permanent relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321301 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 10:47:58 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2321301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: oh yes, definitely. I find it at my local grocery store and it isn't expensive at all which I love. The burn is how I know it's working. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321249 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 10:32:54 +0000 Truth Bombs 2321249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Directly to the canker sore with the q-tip. It sure doesn't taste good but I do it right before I fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321189 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 10:17:26 +0000 Alivoo01 2321189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: I rather deal with the momentary pain/burn up front knowing it'll be gone the next day! I'm going on 6 days of unbearable pain (can't eat or talk without excruciating pain). I've started using anebesol yesterday so I can actually eat. I've had canker sores before, but not like this. </p> <p>Going to pick up some tea tree oil after work today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2321149 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 10:07:36 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2321149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I know this was directed at someone else, but I would just put it on with a q-tip. It will burn! Or it does for me. I also dilute it by putting a drop or two in a pump of aloe Vera and out that on my face for breakouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320815 Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:44:42 +0000 Alivoo01 2320815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Do you dilute it with anything or apply it directly to the sore with a q-tip? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320372 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 21:40:47 +0000 pastemoo 2320372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320272 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:09:06 +0000 Truth Bombs 2320272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: so sorry didn't see this response until now!! I buy it at GNC </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320270 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 20:08:27 +0000 Truth Bombs 2320270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: uhhhhh i also failed the one hour by a very small margin. Passed the three hour of course but it was a major PITA to take the whole morning of work for what I knew was basically a waste of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320255 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:52:44 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2320255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Failed my one hour GD test by one effing point and have to take the three hour test on Friday. I'm not worried about having GD just annoyed that I have to take the stupid test and have DH take the morning off to watch the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320222 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:18:57 +0000 wrkbrk 2320222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Same! I cannot catch my breath!! It's the worst when I lie down to sleep. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320208 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 19:05:44 +0000 pastemoo 2320208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Yes, thank you. I needed to complain!!<br /> Still puking, and the whole digestive system is just completely screwed up. Whine whine whine. :p Thanks for starting this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320199 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 18:59:35 +0000 MaisyMay 2320199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am tired and my back hurts! I'm only 15 weeks and have lost weight (good thing), but my back is always hurting! I've gone in for more 15-30 minute chair massages in the last 2 months than the last 2 years, and I've had to go home and just lay on a heating pad a handful of times too. It doesn't help that I take public transportation home and have to stand at least 1/2 the time after standing a fair portion of the day too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2320030 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 16:26:54 +0000 Alivoo01 2320030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: shut. Up. I'm so doing that. I'm dying over here. Where do I get tea tree oil from?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party/page/2#post-2319893 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:09:21 +0000 Truth Bombs 2319893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Go get some Tea Tree Oil! I swear it magically makes canker sores go away over night. Just dab a little on with a q tip before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319892 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:08:30 +0000 Truth Bombs 2319892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Maybe I cried in the middle of the night last night because I wanted to sleep on my stomach so badly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319888 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:06:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2319888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: ha like it's hard to turn on the tears these days?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319885 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:04:24 +0000 Alivoo01 2319885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes on the shortness of breath!!</p> <p>I also have terrible pregnancy insomnia so it's more like I nap a few times during the night rather than actually sleep sleep. And when I do, depending on how/where my arm/hand is, it's fallen asleep.</p> <p>This past week, my hormones decided to give me a bunch of canker sores all around the edge of my tongue so that I can't eat or talk. So damn painful man!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319884 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 15:03:00 +0000 Truth Bombs 2319884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yeah just tell them you don't have access to readily available quality child care. Throw some tears in there and you'll get excused.</p> <p>@travellingbee: Well the joke was on the plaintiff because I actually took a pretty hard line with a few other jurors to make sure she got zero dollars. It was a BS lawsuit. Pregnant lady may look nice but I have no tolerance for your shenanigans :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319880 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:59:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2319880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: yeah I still have to show up. I imagine I can plead my case once I'm there though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319877 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:58:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 2319877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: not in Massachusetts. They will give you $50 a day towards child care if selected. Because you can totally find a last minute quality babysitter for $50 a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319875 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:57:20 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2319875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: our county will excuse you if you are a SAHP with no child care. Have you checked the requirements for being excused? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319870 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:55:58 +0000 travellingbee 2319870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: oh you can automatically excuse yourself from jury duty if you dont have childcare </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pity-party#post-2319866 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:54:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2319866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: @travellingbee: are you f-ing kidding me??? I also don't have any child care. Dh is "working from home" tomorrow but can't do that most of the time and I don't have anyone else to watch the 2 year old. And I am not afraid to cry about that to the judge. I had actually postponed it right before I found out I was pregnant but figured being 7 months in would help. Ugh. </p>
