I got the same email Teni lol
Had u/s yesterday don't know the results as have to wait until I can see my GP who I can't get into until next Friday!
I have shingles again too, my body just goes from one sucky thing to another!
U/s for what??? I've missed something...!!
So sorry about the shingles :( Yuck!!
Eenee could you see anything or did they focus on anything in particular? Surely your GP will ring you sooner when she gets the results if there are retained products??
Ohh... yes!!! It's because you had to plan this u/s so long ago. I'm so sorry for forgetting. Things are crazy stressful round here.
Any idea at all? I hope you get some good answers quickly xx
They said it would take doctor couple of days to get results anyway so I'll try and ring tomorrow. They did measure a few things. And I knew that wasn't the ovaries (as they measured those too. But hard to tell as she kept standing in front of the screen and I couldn't see. Last time it took a few days to get results as well.
Not sure what I'm hoping for for you eenee, RP and a D&C would mean an end to the bleeding but boy another op and having to go to hospital for a day is horrid! But no RP means.......why the bleeding :( poo to both!
Hope you get it sorted quickly, Eenee. Presumably if you do need a D&C it's a day procedure?
So, who's next on our list? Bring on a March HB baby!
Yes exactly Tegam, if it's not then why the bleeding?
Yep it would be just a day procedure but that means fasting and last time I waited until like 10am without having even water which was hard as I need to be able to drink when BF 3...anyways why am I worrying about that now when it might not even occur yet!
Yes who is next for a new Bub?
You can drink up to two hours before your op em
SJ's next on the list. ;) Then we have an Easter break until Bella (wow, that's gone fast!).
Ready for birthing vibes yet, SJ?
Jen I am totally not ready emotionally. Have clothes all washed and folded, put away etc..... But have done zero to prepare mentally for this birth. ****ting myself quietly really.
I think the ****ting yourself phase is perfectly natural. Perhaps it's a way of starting to bring the birth and your need to prepare to the forefront of your mind. Let us know if there's anyway we help you work through this point.
Thinking of you SJ!!
We have a couple of gaps this year where we'll have to wait for the next babies. Darn it! More home births!!
No birthing vibes yet - I have my blessingway today, a birth pool to get home and a photo shoot next Thursday...THEN all the vibing in the world can happen! Oh, and finding where the baby clothes are, because at this stage the baby will be wearing singlets...I'm not sure if my lent out clothes ever came back, and if they did then we don't know where they are!
Never mind.
MW appt on Friday was great and all the baby's measurements are improving - I even measured 31ish weeks for my current 36, so we're playing catch ups :) She said she'd start to get nervous if I went over 40 weeks, because of the low fluid thing, but if the fluid is increasing then I'm gonna keep taking my chill pills.
SJ I'm sure collectively we could all come up with a bunch of newborn clothes if you can't find your others.
Sj I have so many clothes it is ridiculous. I have already culled ones that I don't think are quite as pretty, cos it know I won't put the baby in them. Let me know if you want them.
I have bag of 0000 that I know my little miss won't get to wear everything. happy to send on if they will be helpful.
I have 00's that I'm happy to pass on - Felix is nearly out of them :) I've already donated my 000.
I have some 000 and 00 I can pass on. Will you be wanting the bag of clothes I have of yours HotI?
Sorry I've been a bit MIA since having DS2 at home. But been struggling with PND and looking after two boys with not much support. But I'm still following occasionally.
:hug: mt2b it's tough. I still struggle and didn't have much support until my MW got some of the mums from the mothers group she runs to make a roster of support especially in my really struggling weeks so there was someone visiting/helping/checking in on me everyday. Which probably saved my life at the time.
Glad you popped in, Mt2b - I wish you had support :( I checked in with my local ABA group when DS was two weeks old and I think I would have sunk a few times without them.
Speaking of whom, three of my dearest ABA friends came to my blessingway today! It was such a beautiful gathering (no photos, it was a vibe and chatting thing, but I'll lay out the flags and take a photo!) and the girls who came I've been 'collecting' over many years and I'm so lucky! I got to sit and have my feet soaked, rubbed and nails painted while things went on around me. I know I shouldn't, but I managed to keep it together when we did the beads and everyone said a little something as they held a bead and swapped it for a tealight candle. We didn't get a chance to do the henna, so I may decorate myself this week ;)
One of my girlfriends brought a bag of 000 baby clothes, too, and that should tide me over. You ladies are awesome, thanks so much for the offers! If the sonographer is worth her salt then I won't have too long a need for those 000. I'm in south-eastern vic, so logistics are against me for taking up offers - I'm so grateful that you have offered, though. I'm a bit annoyed with myself for leaving it so long to look for them, because there were bits and pieces I really wanted to use again. I'll have to ask my GF who I remember last loaning them to, and go from there. We are due for a catch up, anyway :)
I feel like I'm in a cloud tonight! I'm so glad I organised the blessingway - everyone deserves one.
That sounds like a great day, glad you enjoyed yourself. I have friends over berwick - narre warren way. So not to difficult to get them to you. Especially seeing I might catch up with them in April for my 30th.
I'm about an hour out of Berwick/Narre, so if you feel like a trip to the Prom, I'd be on the way ;) I used to be nice and handy to many places, when we were in the Dandenong Ranges - South Gippsland is a bit of a hike. Deepest thanks, though!
I've cancelled attendance at a luncheon I was invited to for a CFA thing in Preston on Friday. I think the 'stay close to home' thing has started - which is a bit later than the other two. So now it's 'nesting' time and the sunroom is in for a transformation. It's out the front of our bedroom (the house is a weird, tacked on design of an older farmhouse!) and has been the depository of crap since we moved in.
Oh, and I've found the perfect birth support! She doesn't say anything unless she wants to go outside or come inside, she's warm, scruffy and just wants pats in return :) She's been awfully attentive to me these last few days, and she was beside the birth pool for the labour last time (I didn't realise till I saw photos and the video). She's onto it!
I heard from my mw today, too, who couldn't make it to the blessingway, and she's set to drop the pool off tomorrow...yipee!! I really AM next on the list!!
Hugs mt2b I'm sorry you don't have much support around you.
SJ so glad you had a lovely blessingway.
So nice to see everyone offering to send clothes, such a beautiful little community.
3rd trimester here now so time to start getting organised.
Whaddya mean? You painted a room - you've already started!
Haha true.
Oh SJ! things are all falling into place for you and the upcoming birth! YAY! :heartbeat:
Oz: oh wow! third trimester already?! I swear with each pregnancy the time seems to fly even faster! so so excited for you. How are the HB preparations going? are you using a pool? set up a birth space or thought about where you would like to do most of your labouring? I had a few zones set out for me...from early labour (the is it or isnt it stage lol...so garden, dining room...which had the fitball and some affirmations of releasing oneself to the process and welcoming the new baby and lettng all worry out etc) and then the Real Deal space, with the low lighting, pool, oils and bag of tricks set aside.
one of my fave bits of preparation for the birth was heading into teh chemist and buying packets of those incontinence sheets and giant bags of those glucose jellybeans and gloves hahaha. the looks you would get :lol:
The preparations of the little, fiddly bits are the funnest! We have the birth pool and a change table more or less set up, so now it's down to fine details. I've been doing my aromatherapies today for my birthing basket - perineum spray, a facial mist for birth and post-partum spraying, a birthing and post-partum massage oil (I doubt I'll want to be touched in labour, so it has geranium to help contract the uterus afterwards), I've made up my first bottle of perineum water (water with some lavender drops and solubuliser in a pour-lid Tupperware container) for after-loo use, and my spray bottle is ready to go to spray maternity pads. Of course, I need to BUY the maternity pads so that I can spray them and freeze in separate zip-lock bags. This is a conundrum for me. I have been happily using a Mooncup for a few years now and the idea of using a throw-away product is giving me angst. I'm not really going to be in a place where I want to hang over the laundry sink (with it's ridiculously short tap) washing out cloth pads or face washers, and I hate the idea of throwing out paper and plastic products! I think I'm going to have to suck it up and buy some :/
I've been to see the hospy midwife today with DP and it was really positive. She's measured growth in fundal height, too, so we're all on the same page. Between her and my mw I saw fit to make one more u/s appt for the GP's benefit (and I think also my mw, but she won't spell it out, bless!) and that's for the end of next week. I'll see the GP again after that, if I'm still preggers and ask her for a Panadeine Forte script (I'm dreading after-pains!) and see if she'll be kind enough to give me a synto script while she's at it...that'll be pushing my luck, but I can try!
Meanwhile, I have also got clasps and string for my birthing beads (a bracelet and necklace), and binding for my flags (I'm getting another one or two in the post, I think...). One of my friends said she patched her flags together afterwards into a banner blanky thing she keeps over her son's door, so I won't do a fancy stitch because I like that idea!
I put the cradle together, not that I think I'll use it much, but it's there now, especially if we can't get a spring for the hammock (which will make me cry, because that hammock was a life saver the last time!). DP has to pick up a bookcase for me so that I can fold clothes into it, or I'll have to resort to cardboard boxes, in lieu of appropriate furniture to hold clothes in...that's the least organised part of this caper, but it's out of my hands!
Jellybeans...now THAT'S the ticket!!!
Oh wow, exciting to hear all the prep!
I had my 12 week appointment today, the long history one. And she got the heartbeat for me. I could have listened to that all day. 166bpm. No need for a 12 week scan now I'm a happy camper. And she had a good feel of the uterus, it's nicely popped out and explains some of this belly I have. I haven't put on any weight but boy I have a belly, how am I going to keep this a secret for 8 more weeks
Just let people guess, Tegam ;) At least you'd get a seat on the bus...unlike me!!
You sound well prepared SJ! I think there are a few times in life where it's okay to resort to the disposable options. Just think if EVERYONE was only using them for a week or so after birth then the waste issue wouldn't be an issue at all.
So wonderful you heard the heartbeat Tegam!!!! Woohoo! I just had my booking in appointment last week too. Love going over all that history stuff. I don't think you can keep it a secret till 20 weeks! I'm not announcing on FB so we're not telling everyone but anyone I see I'm letting them know- my belly is out there! And we've told close friends and family so they don't accidentally hear it second hand. But the announcement for everyone else who misses those things wont be till after the 20 week scan and I'm happy with that :)
Just found out I have hep A and if I can't get rid of it before the birth then my MW can't assist me with a HB because it's a considered a contraindication to HB and makes high risk. So upset right now :(
Oh meow! I'm so sad for you right now!. What treatment options do you have? I don't know much about it except it effects your liver. Is there much you can do whilst pregnant? Hugs mamma.....
Apparently it's a transient virus and there's not really much treatment as such anyway. MW said you can take hardcore anti-virals but she doesn't really suggest I do that. Usual treatment is to support the liver and boost its ability to function and pass the virus. Going to see my doctor tomorrow and MW has given me the deets of an acupuncturist she thinks can help me too. Fingers crossed for now I guess???
How long does it usually take to fight off? And when are you due to birth? Your immune system is weaker when pregnant, so it might take you a little longer than normal. What a bummer!
Ugh. I think it needs to be gone by 3rd trimester or else then we start risking baby and preterm labour due to the liver stress. But then she mentioned something about it usually being gone in 5 months. I'm due in about 4.5 months! I don't know at the moment :(
Oh, crappola, Meow :( There's a few things that come and go in pg, and I am hoping for you that this is gone soon! I'm not getting the GBS swab for the reason that it seems to come and go, and we'll deal with it if it's a problem at the time. A bit different to the risk of preterm labour, but it seems you could still plan the HB (or at least plan to 'labour entirely at home' if you don't go early and accidentally not get in the car ;) ) and see how you go? Much love xxx
I wonder how long you have already had it meow.... You might already be half way thru? Or is that just wishful thinking? Either way, im sorry your having to deal with this.
