Thanks ladies - ive done just that and think im ready now, however it may be, to have this precious bubba here with me.
Question.. as of this afternoon, I cannot walk.. yep.. the pain in my pubic area / bone is so much that its very difficult to walk. Also feeling some back pain and pain in the bum but still no contrax. This is all normal yes??
Other than that Im travelling well, just getting last minute things done at home, like cleaning the change table AGAIN!!
Jayne - Miss A is going to a friends house, they will drop her off at hossy, she will be the first one to see bub and to announce it to everyone, we will get her to ring our parents!! Im soooo excited now Whoo HOOoooooo!!!!
Just a message for Spring - let's all imagine her and her little ones staying safe from Ului... Sending beautiful thoughts to you my love for you and yours xxxx

A very quick hello while I'm expressing and the rest of the house is sleeping! My head space is not great ATM, crazy I know, given that D is home tomorrow! Thank god, I am SO SO sick of that hospital, particularly the nursery. It really is a very lonely place. I'm frustrated with my supply, and annoyed myself for being tired when there's so much to do. Trying to balance it all with some rest though. But all will be well, D will be tucked up in my arms in just over 24 hours!
I ran into my Ob the other day and we were chatting when he remembered that my placental biopsy results had come back the day before. We didn't have a formal chat, he'll fill me in more at my 6 week check. Not that there's much to fill me in on, the biopsy did show something, but it still doesn't give us any answers I don't think. Apparently it appeared like I had suffered from gestational high BP, which I'm taking to mean thinned blood vessels, and/or clots etc. But I've never had high BP ever, my BP is perfect, sometimes on the lower side, but nothing to worry about. So I'm perplexed............any ideas nursey girls?
Janie You and little D have done so so well to be allowed home tomorrow. I bet you are a teeny tiny bit excited about that and to have him home in time for Easter and your Birthday Please hun you need to give yourself a bit of a break. You have been on a very tough journey this past couple of months. I'm sure once D is at home with you and your lovely little family things will become a little less stressful especially as you won't be travelling to and from the hospital for feeds etc. To me you are a legend and you deserve a huge pat on the back babe.
Spring I hope all is well at your place weather wise.
Laney Where are you??? How did you go with your POAS test??? I've been thinking of you.
Not much happening here. Having a day at home trying to feel better with this sickness. I woke up this morning with a huge headache and am wishing that will go away on its own soon. I might have a sleep when DS has his nap this arv and hope I wake up feeling better.
Mako, thank you for asking about me. I am here. I read, just not much to post. So far everything has been going well here. I had blood test and my hcg levels were rising well. I have had no bleeding so far...which is out of the norm for me. Just some little cramps here and there. I started clexane right away and that is going well too. I have my first scan on Friday. I have been having a harder time than I thought I would, just very nervous.
I have my fingers crossed for you that everything is excellent on Tuesday.
Janie, I am very excitied for you. No more trips to the hospital
After Shelby's placenta biopsy they told me the same thing. There was a large dead area from a clot and very small blood vessels. There was no reason for the issues and I was tested for everything. I have low BP and did all during the pregnancy so now I take clexane. Grayson had a 100% normal placenta
Lisa, sounds like things are starting!

That is fantastic news Laney, I'm really happy for you hun . Thank you so much for all your support and information during my dramas, I really appreciate it. That is really interesting, and something for me to think about. My Ob had me on aspirin in the first trimester, because of my history of mc. When we realised that D's growth had slowed right down, my Ob told me to start taking it again. From then on his rate of growth stayed pretty well consistent. I'll defintely chat to my Ob when I see him in a couple of weeks about taking Clexane should a surprise baby ever decide to join us .
Having a third baby is a decision we will now take VERY seriously, and ATM we say that we won't be going there. What if this happened again???? Even earlier???? I keep having flashbacks this week to that awful CTG when he was brachycardic, that terrifying slow beating. I haven't really thought about it until now, I think it was too scary earlier. It just came to me in the car the other day. I feel so so relieved and grateful that my beautiful boy is here safe and sound.
Thats fantastic news Laney. I wish you all the best for a perfect scan on Friday.
Janie I just wanted you to know that alot of people told me I should maybe go on Clexane for this pregnancy (even my GP) but when I asked my Ob and DR S about it they both said not to as it has a higher risk of making me bleed and the Cardiprin(asprin) was better for me. I'm not saying that this is right or wrong as I honestly felt Clexane might have been a better way to go for me but obviously not according to my Drs. Anyway make sure you talk to your Ob and see what he says
Also my placenta with Sage ended up very dried and shriveled up and that apparently happened once I stopped the asprin at 34 weeks.
I'm so excited that D is coming home today and before his original EDD
Mako & Janie, I was told by one of my MFM doctors to give aspirin a try first (see if it works before we go as far as clexane). Clexane has some risks that he didn't really want me to take. I was not going to see if something works. I had a new high risk doctor weeks later that wanted me to take clexane. I know people that have taken just aspirin and had healthy bubs with a nice placenta. It just wasn't enough for me. I wanted to do everything that I could because I thought my pregnancy with Grayson would be my last. My doctor still tells me that it might have just been luck that Grayson arrived safely. I like to think that it was the clexane and aspirin combo. It is the only thing that is keeping my chin up right now.
Laney - All the best for Friday.. praying that all goes well. It's such a difficult and crappy time.. all the waiting is driving me mad too!! Just sucks.
Janie - OMG.. I'm soooo excited for you today!!! Enjoy having D at home tonight.. will be thinking of you!
Mako - I'm taking Cardiprin too but my case is very mild and she's not even really sure it's causing my m/c's so don't think I'd ever have to consider anything more than that.. unless more tests show something else that they've missed so far. It's soooo frustrating.... I don't even really have a diffinative (sp?) reason for my losses, so although I've got the asprin to make me feel like we're doing something this time... I'm still extremely nervous and anxious. Surely it can't all just be bad luck... and if so, god knows what I've ever done to deserve it. So not fair. Anyway, enjoy your massage today, hope it makes you feel better and will be thinking of you tomorrow avo!
Bek - Hope you're feeling better! Luke has had a bit of a runny nose lately and is now developing a bit of a cough.. hope it doesn't progress into anything more!
Spring - How are you?? I hope the cyclone didn't do much damage to your place. Thinking of you.
Well.. one week down and one and a bit weeks till our first scan. I just wish I could speed the clocks up a bit.. time is definitely dragging. I have started feeling a little queezy every now and again too and my bbs are a bit sore and definitely getting a bit bigger (woo hoo.. I need all the help I can get in that department)!!! So I'm feeling ok.. but I had similar symptoms last time and it didn't help, so I don't want to think anything into it. I'm also really, really bloated already.. I look very pg and it's freaking me out.. has anyone had this? I'm a little worried.
Anyway, having a quite day at home today and DH is at Uni tonight... yuck. Just hanging out for my MIL to come over next week.. and our scan.
Mako - hun, wishing you all the very best for your scan tomorrow. Hope your headache is gone today!
Janie - How exciting that your little bubba is coming home You and DH must be so excited, enjoy. I so know how you feel about having them here safe and sound though, when I held E for the first time all I could think of was thank goodness I don't have to go through this again (pregnancy not the birth ) she is our last. And I didn't even have the dramas that you had either, I have been very lucky that way.
Laney - GL for Friday, hope everything goes well
Kelly - Yay for the symptoms, they sound great hun. Here's hoping the next week and a bit fly past for you.
Hi everyone else
Not much happening here, so I haven't posted much lately cause I haven't had a lot to say. DH left yesterday for a work trip to Canada and the US so I'm doing the single parent thing all this week - hoping both DD's will be nice to me so I get through the week in one piece!
Laney I'm sorry if my post came across awful earlier. I really didn't mean for it to. I was so wanting to take the Clexane for my own peace of mind even with all the risks as I too didn't want to leave things to chance kwim? I just have to go with what my Drs advise for me I guess
Anyway I'm so happy all worked wonderfully for Grayson and really hope this one works out perfectly for you too. You sure have been through more than anyone should ever go through hun
Kelly I'm like mad all is ok for you this time too. Who knows the cardiprin might just make the world of difference for you as it seemed to for me with Sage and hopefully with this little one of mine.
I only commented to Michelle the other night that I seriously looked 5 months pregnant.DH even told me I needed to get some "fat girl" clothes out as I couldn't do my pants up lol. It has settled a bit now though.
I wish I could make the days go a bit quicker for you too
The symptoms sound great too
Megsmum All the best for this week. I hope your girls are kind to you too
I'm feeling a bit better after my massage this morning. I had to tell my massage therapist and she was so so excited lol. But she wasn't happy that she couldn't do a remedial massage for me though lol. She likes to inflict a little pain hahaha but she settled on a relaxation one for me and boy it was good.
My cold seems to be a little better today which is good. I'm sick of not knowing for sure if I'm feeling ill from the cold or from this little bundle. I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow.
Megsmum - Good luck for this week.. I hate it when DH is away!
Thanks so much Mako... I'm so excited and nervous about your scan tomorrow, so god help me when mine come along!! I'm praying like mad everything is ok for you too!
I'm having a really quite day at home today.. was planning to not leave the house at all but just realised I need to post my SIL birthday card to make sure it arrives for her birthday.. so we'll go do that soon. It's been lovely having a quiet day at home but it's also been awful because I can't stop thinking things through in my head (not a good thing)! I really feel like AF is coming and have had a few twinges so of course I think the worst.. although I know it's all normal. Got all the paperwork from the hosptial and from my ob today too, which makes it all very real. I'm having a scan Wednesday week, then they want me to book another one 10 days later, so only three weeks until I'll know what's going on!! I think I'm generally feeling a bit 'down' today and can't be bothered doing anything.. it's just not like me and I hate it!
I'll be back later to chat about the clexane stuff. At work so just a quick sneak on to say .........
READ THE BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!
Lisa had a baby girl around midday via c-section. 3.2kg and all is well with both of them. They have even had their first breastfeed. I'll fill you in on more details when they happen. I'm so excited!!!!!!
Just wanted to pass on some news on behalf of Bonham08... she had a scan today and bubs heartbeat was nice and strong. For those of you who don't know, Bonham08 had a loss last November 09 - at her 12 week scan they discovered that bubba "Everson" had passed at around 8 weeks gestation.
Today is a huge milestone for Bonham08 as it was at this gestation and scan that she discovered "Everson" had passed - but current belly bub is going great guns.
Bonham08 is having issues with her internet at present so I offered to post on her behalf.

but still no contrax. This is all normal yes??
