Younger Couples Chat ~ July 2008

[Alyssas_Mum]

Well i ended up going to the doc. He says everything looks good, tummy is soft, bubs head is down and her h/b is good but he's sending me for a scan at 3pm just to be sure there's no internal bleeding or anything.

They were like contractions but i could only feel them in the top of my tummy and my lower back (not like the ones i had with lys), went for 1.5hrs all up, he doesnt think they were braxton hicks but he has no other explanations for it hence the scan just to be safe.
I did have a warm/hot shower and it made it feel better but when i got out they came back again.
Will let ya'll know how my scan goes, i know i said i was over being preg but i dont want her to come out yet, my bags arent packed, her stuff isnt all washed and most importantly shes not baked enough.

Hi ladies am I welcome here as I havent posted in a long time

You're a nuftie Kass!!!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

im here!! lol

Kirra- try not to stress hun i have BH's all day every day and have had for weeks. Mine get a little painful too but im really not fussed about them and neither is my midwife. The birth of ur lil girl is getting very close now, ur body is just preparing for it.

Sally (brendansmum) - im doing ok. Last BP check was 130/80 which is great (not fantastic but is for me) i have another check up tomorrow but things seems to be going well. As i told ya im not too worried... ill deal with anything this pregnancy throws at me. There are so many people out there that have it so much worse than me.. PE isnt the end of the world. Tho i am getting very anxious and excited about meeting my lil girl! oh how i wish time would hurry up! give brendan hugs for me and sending ya some more baby dust darl! xoxoxo

hellllllllllo to everyone else...

[Alyssas_Mum]

Just got back from my scan, dont see the doc til tomorrow but i read the report. They weren't braxton hicks, i have a pollop on my gall bladder and her foot is pushing up into my stomach which is what he believes the pains were.

Bubs is measuring 2611gms, 134bpm. He recons she'll (i had him dbl check she was a girl too) prob be 6 pound-7pound max, but im not holding my breathe on that one, lys was 8pound12.5 so im expecting a big baby and they are known to be wrong. lol.
Feeling much better now that its all clear bubs is ok. Got to see her lil button nose and she had her daddy's lips, hehe. I am so excited i got to see her again, shes so cute and lil and tiny. But im happy to wait atleast another 2 weeks to meet her. Also got to see her practising her breathing. Lys was very cute, she stood there and watched the whole time while holding my hand and being all cute saying that was her lil sister.

Well i've gotta go get DP from work now, later everyone.

Thanks guys,
Woke up this morning with a coldsore, so man do i feel crap.
Happy birthday for Friday Kass.
It's funny hearing the dif postions and places our kids were conceived. lol. Lys was conceived on the beach (i know, naughty us, but it was late at night and no-one was around) poor Charli just got the good old bed. lol
I'm getting into washing all her clothes today, after my lil scare yesterday im paranoid i wont be ready. lol
I'm hoping this coldsore goes away or atleast gets better over the next few days, my whole top lip is swallon, i dont think its my week at all

Hope ya'll enjoy the rest of you day, no doubt i will be back later anyway

[*oli's*mrs*]

hi gurlies
aagggrrr i could scream im that stressed!
usually kavanna will wake about7-730 an come into our room....
well not this morning... i woke 7.05 to find that she had climbed onto the bench-from a chair got the wall putty down(which i brought to fill the holes where i had hung pic frames but as we r moving out had to putty it up) anyway so i walk into her room there she is coverd head to toe in bloody putty its inbetween her toes in her hair aaagggrrrhhhh her furniture-her linen on her bed-its silk! her carpet her walls and anything else she could reach! so ive spent the whole morning trying to get it off nd out of ****! it looks like we r gunna have to replace her carpet anyway!!! im sooooooo angry! so not a good start to the dAYfor me! but good morning every1 else

[Early Kids]

Morning ladies
Kirra, it's just not your week

Taegan, what a pain! I hope it cleans easily... although probably not

Well i was woken at around 5:30a when Brendan fell off our bed, DP forgot to puthis pillows along the edge . Brendan wouldn't settle into his own bed so slept with us... Bad bad I know. He's back down for a nap now 7:45am, we've been up since 6.

I'm looking at starting a mothers group in my area, there is nothing in the community for premmie mums, and I dont fit in with the young mums (they are mostly quite immature) and the other mums groups are all older and i dont fit there. At least with a premmie mums groups we all know how each other feels, what we've been through, what we are going through... so it doesn't matter if i'm 22 and the rest are in their 30's or something. I'm hoping it'll work out. I've contacted my loacal paper and also my CHN and OT. They are both going to help me organise it, the OT already has one lady lined up, whose just got home from the hospital after having a 24weeker!! I'm really looking forward to meeting her.

Anyway I'm rambling...

Take Care Girls!

[Alyssas_Mum]

OMG Taegan, i hope it comes out, my fingers are crossed for ya and i hope your day gets better.

Sally- YAY to starting mothers group. will be so good to get to know ppl. i found it very nice, i got to 2 Young Mums groups. GL anyways and thanks for the hugs, DP wont come near me. lol

4 loads down and only 2 more loads of bubs stuff to do. I'm getting there..... slowly

Any suggestions on what i shoudl put in my labour/hospital bag
I've got the usual stuff, toiletries, mat pads, breast pads, heat pack, lots of undies, pj's and going home clothes but i keep thinking im forgetting something

[*oli's*mrs*]

wat kind of heat pack?
i had a wheat bag and wasnt allowed to use it for my stay or in labour- apparently thy can explode when being heated....
u gunna wear ur pjs the whole day? i suggest like gym pants and tops 2 wear threw the day! have u got a teddy or something 4 charlie? a special outfit?lollies,fruit chips or something 2 munch inbetween the crap hossy food yuk! i took my straightner hehehe and dont forget ur thongs 2 wear in the shower& money 2 put the telly on... um thats all for the momnt but will keep thinkin i should kno my birth was jst months ago

[Early Kids]

Kirra, maybe a mag or good book too, JIC... always good to be a little prepared for things if they dont go to plan.

[[M]umma[M]ia]

Kirra when i was is hospy at 32 weeks it was a good learning experience coz i realised what i wanted in my bag. Take things like shower gel, nice moisteriser, lip balm and just general stuff for u. U will be so glad u did. Also take some snacks such as chips and lollies.. once bubs out i have heard u can get quite hungry bcoz of the BF demands. Not all hospitals cator (sp) for this. Also pack clothes (if u wish) for Charli that are pink or some other colour. Most hospies supply everything for bub and they are white. so avoid getting ur stuff mixed up in thier Um im taking some coffee from home in a small container.. little luxury for me.
HTH... tho i could go on forever!

[[M]umma[M]ia]

ps.. oh yes my hair straightner will be going with me but i realised when i was in there the bathroom doesnt have powerpoints in there.. mmmm mayb everyone will just have watch me do my hair on the bed! Our tellies here are free but they dont have pay tv and yes i agree THONGS for the shower!! man the hospital showers are good tho.. so much pressure
