LnD - glad things are ok, but sorry you had a scare.... how's the rest coming?
Blessed - thanks for letting me know... I hope you're ok in hossy. Miss you and your button already! Can't wait to hear how you are.
Laney - wow that BP is super low. That would give you a good case of the dizzies. I have been thinking about how things would work once there is more than one baby in the house.... how did you make it work with Grayson and Brexton? Initially when Brexton was newborn? How did you cope? And now - what do you do to prepare for the evenings? How do you fit in dinner, bath time, story time, bed? Just curious..... How are you apart from that?
B - oh dear, I am so sorry that Cam has decided to be a toddler! Asserting his independence, oh my where does the relatively compliant new born go? That just sounds so hard to manage..... especially when he used to be so good at bed times. Sorry, no tips here. Just lots of hugs cause I reckon you're doing the hard yards right now. And later to bed means less time for you!
AFM? I am not feeling glum anymore. Yay! I have yet another cold. Went to accupuncture. The plan is to focus on my health and then in September look at actively increasing my fertility. I think I can work with that plan. I had a dream the other night that I went to my obs for a scan and I was 5 weeks pregnant. It was such a vivid dream, and it made me feel so happy. I have not taken a test because I don't want to burst the bubble of happiness the dream has given me.
Anyway, belly rubs to you pregnant ones! I am hoping to turn in early.
dory, i think everything was pretty easy when we first brought Brexton home. He slept a lot during the day for the first couple of months. I was able to get right back into my routine with little trouble. It did help that he started sleeping through the night at 5 weeks. Brexton goes to bed early and always has. I get him to sleep first and then deal with Grayson's bath and bedtime. If it doesn't work out one night Dh is usually home to take on one of the kids. I was worried about how it would work with 2 but really you just make it work. It helps that you are more relaxed the second time around. Routine is very important! You will do just fine! Don't worry about all of that just yet. There is plenty of other things to worry about first. Glad that you are feeling better and ready to really think about another little one for your family.
AFM, I am feeling a lot better. Still a little dizzy but getting better everyday. I think i am starting to adjust to the crazy pregnancy changes. Ultrasound next week!
Hi wonderful ladies! A bit of a 'me' post to let you know where I'm up to.. Button is sewn in, all is good there. Monday I had a booking in appointment, an appointment with the OB and then one with the medical Dr's (who keep an eye on my heart). I was there for hours and I found the booking in appointment quite draining, especially going through what happened with the twins.
With my OB I had a bedside scan to check my cervix and all is good, so now I just have a scan next week to check cervix again then one at 19wks for the morph I am going onto progesterone pessaries from next week. Apparently they will 'calm the uterus' so hopefully prevent any preterm contractions. I hope the pessaries don't give me thrush.. Eww, TMI lol.. I am pretty happy with the care I have been getting. If I do go into preterm labour it wont be because we didn't take any preventative measures that's for sure! Hopefully though Button will stay put til 37wks. At least 32 is my goal.. It's going to be a long few weeks leading up to the 24wks mark. I think I'll be pretty emotional over that time.
I'm going back to work tomorrow and I don't want to!! Lol I hope everyone else is doing well.
Dory - I hope your dream is right!
Laney- wow, almost 12wks. It goes so fast, but there's still a way to go lol..
Hi girls, hope u dont mind me posting in here. nearly 6 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby, currently known as bear cub
ive got SOOOOO much running through my head, trying to stay positive, but negative things keep popping into my head im so scared we'll get to the end and not bring this baby home too.
Havent been to the docs yet, dnt plan to until 11 weeks, and im only going then to get a refferal for the 12 week scan, im not ready to be at the hospital yet. i dont know when or if i will be, maybe i just need to suck it up and deal with it head on, i dont know.
Hope you're all well. will read back a bit to get to know everyone
Skye
xx
Congratulations again Skybie.. I hope your journey with Bear Cub is as it should be! Nice and easy with no complications.. I have been finding it difficult to go to the hospital, it just takes me right back there you know, but having said that I wouldn't go anywhere else. There are people in here who understand your anxiety, although our experiences are all different. xx
Hi Everyone, I would love you join you too am 5 weeks? along with my second bub after loosing my first at 39/4.
Bit scared tbh as that was only february, also had a C/S so not a lot of time in between.
Hey Skybie! So happy to hear your news. Its scary isnt it? :/ I am also holding off on hospitals etc as I am working away from home and makes it a bit hard to oragnise anything... also tough being alone away from freinds and loved ones.. but ah well..
welcome myangelbaby and skybie, I hope that you find lots of support in this forum. I don't know how i would have managed without all of the love and support from the lovely BB ladies.
Myangelbaby, i had a c-section with Grayson and 8 months later i was pregnant with Brexton. I am now pregnant only 6 months after my second section. The doctor told me that everything would be fine as long as i have another c-section.
blessed, glad that your stitch placement went well. I am taking prgesterone for the 3rd time. I have never had an issue with thrush.
Myangelbaby, come join me in the march belly group, will be so nice to have someone to share the journey with who KNOWS how i feel.
Laney i love the name Grayson, DF doesnt though boo to him.
Had a few minor meltdowns yesterday, feeling pretty good today though. going to need a straight jacket by the time this baby comes i think
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!!!
Blessed - bug catching indeed. I like that description. Thanks for the well wishes. Thinking of you for tomorrow. Can you believe it's your morph scan already? I know its hard, so very hard - the whole pregnancy but especially the significant dates for your pregnancy with Seth and Tait. I am glad you're in a more preg friendly job but sorry it's so dull! Hope the baby market was good too. I just love that you're out doing things. Just love it.
Laney - how are you doing? Give those gorgeous boys a hug from us!
Powelly - Thinking of you! Anxiously waiting. Keep strong.
Hmm, Gotta run, sorry to be so short. Belly rubs gorgeous mummas.
Just pooped in to wish you blessed all the best for tomorrow's scan! Are you finding out the gender? If you are I hope you'll share your news!! lol. Thanks for thinking of me lovely, I so hope I will be here for xmas!
Powelly, hope bub decides to come on its own!! Very exciting, can't wait for your BA! GL hunni xoxo
TylersMummu, I hope your app. went well with your doc!
Laney, woo hoo for a great 12 week scan!!! You're flying right along hun!
Myangelbaby, I'm sorry you've lost your precious bub. I wish you all the very best in this pg hun.
Hi Skybie, how are you lovely lady?
Dory, how are you feeling darl? I hope you're on the road to recovery and some serious DBing!
im so scared we'll get to the end and not bring this baby home too.
