Geez it's been months since I've been in here yet I've still been getting the emails and reading about your journeys. Welcome to all the "up the duffers" and hoping you are receiving the support you all need for this lengthy, exhausting journey that is pregnancy after loss!
I wanted to congratulate CHEZ on the birth of your baby girl. I hope it's all going well hon!
And to everyone else in here, may I wish you a peaceful, problem free journey. I'm currently 38.3 weeks along and am nervously (and extremely eagerly) awaiting my little mans arrival. We are due 6th August and after a few scares already, we are still hanging in there. I never thought I'd make it to the end of this pregnancy with my mental health intact but I have, and I hope that I can be of some inspiration to you guys. Just take it one day at a time and don't think of the whole 9 months. That is enough to freak anyone out. You aren't pregnant forever and as much as it's horribly scary, there is also amazing life inside you. So, on those rough days, pat your belly and believe that it will all be ok.
As for me, needing to have my little bundle arrive safely asap. The last couple of weeks are killing me....
Powelly - I can't wait to see you BA! Subsequent pregnancy is scary and I often wonder if I'll make it through with my mental health intact too. I have faith!! Lol
Laney - Awesome news about you scan congratulations!!
AFM - I had another scan yesterday to check my stitch. Stitch is well in place, cervix is long and closed and bubba is perfect!! I'm really happy because I started to get paranoid (again) as I have started having mild braxton hicks. Freaked the hell out of me, even though I know it's normal.. Anyway, everything is going well and I got my script for progesterone pessaries so I'll go to the chemist and start them tonight.
I'm sick of work. It's so tiring. I am hopefully getting an appointment setting job, I doubt I'll like it, but at least I can sit on my bum all day, instead of being on my feet the whole time and busy busy.. I'll still try and do 1 shift a week in aged care just to keep in the door for as long as possible..
Hi to everyone else, Dory, Beata, Lysndan and our newcomers Skybie and Myangelbaby. (hope I haven't missed anyone)
Hi ladies been awhile since I posted last time I posted I had just found out I was pregnant well now were almost 15 weeks and little beans doing very well. Im showing quicker than I did with Tyler but i've also felt this one move feels like bubbles . Appointment with a high risk doctor tomorrow hopefully things go well. How's everyone else doing?
Congrats Tylers Mummy! That's fantastic news and hope the remainder of your pregnancy goes nice and smoothly for you :-)
Laney & Blessedatlast, can you believe I'm still waiting! I was due yesterday and well today I've lost the plot. I feel depressed, anxious and really scared as it's just not happening. I know it's crazy but I honestly feel like he's never going to arrive and then I start freaking out that something is wrong. If I don't feel him move for an hour I freak out and well sleeping.... what's that! I'm so uncomfortable, scared and mind running wild that I am barely sleeping. I don't want to feel this way, I know a lot of it's the hormones as I just feel teary one minute, angry the next and everything in between. How do I get through this if it drags on for another week or so?
I see the doc on Wednesday to talk about induction, something I fear since I had to be induced at 19 weeks when we lost our first bub. Why won't my little man come out???????????
powelly..... i hope your man comes before wednesday.... my little HB showed no signs of coming, either..along with everything else it does your head in.... but he will be here soon enough. You can do it, if needed the induction.... you can bring your son into the world.... thinking of you.
BAL - give button a rub for me.... I know how hard it is to relive the trauma everytime you have a new medical appointment. Like you, I wouldn't go anywhere else. The middies always say hello to us when we go back. The hossy runs a post natal baby clinic. It's important to get sensitive and understanding care.
Skybie - you will go back when you are ready. The first time is really hard, but it gets more bearable. I always stop by the rooms where met Amelia and Sophie, and stop by the birth suites - well outside them. I find it helps.
Tylersmummy - How you going? how did your appointment go? I too feel bubbles popping in my belly, it so nice
Powelly - What's happening with you these days? I don't think I've seen a BA yet? I'll go do a quick stalk though, I could have missed it...
Dory - You guys seem to be bug catching everywhere I hope you are better now!!!
Hi to everyone I've missed..
MissB - I hope you are in here for christmas!!
AFM - *Sigh... I am 19wks today and over the last 3 days I have had an irrational fear of my morph scan on Monday. This morning I wondered if it was a little bit psychological? the 19wk scan was where we found my cervix had started to thin etc and I was admitted immediately for the stitch with the twins.. The next 5 weeks I think will be difficult until I get over 24wks.. I'm full of paranoia. Trying to be positive though.. This pregnancy is NOT the same as with the twins. The fact i haven't put on any weight this week does NOT mean Button has stopped growing.. I'll just be glad to get our scan over and done with and leave with pics of our beautiful baby!!
I also think my placenta has moved up because I can barely feel movements anymore Last scan it was low anterior, now it's probably just right at the front. Which is good, but I'm waiting (im) patiently for my kicks!!
I have borrowed a doppler off a friend and use that sometimes. I haven't let myself become obsessed, I've maybe used it 3 or 4 times in the week, so not everyday!
I have stopped aged care and started an appointment setting job. I have only been there 3 days and I hate it! The 5 hr shifts feel like 50!! I'm just setting small goals.. At this stage if I can stick it out to 25wks, i'll re assess then. DF and I are moving back in together and his work is so up and down at the moment we just can't rely on 1 wage at the moment On a good note though, Yas and I are off to the baby market tommorrow. Yay!!!
. Appointment with a high risk doctor tomorrow hopefully things go well. How's everyone else doing?
I hope you are better now!!!
