Laney - Congratulations on a great scan and a precious little boy..
TylersMummy - Yay for seeing Bub and that gorgeous HB. Are you having a girl?
AFM - I am doing well, reesting as much as possible. DF is away for work, so I can't be on total bedrest but I just rest as much as I can.. Button is moving heaps and I love it. Those kicks are beautiful!! I have started a Button blog if you want to stalk you can HERE I have only posted twice, so it's not that exciting, but it's nice to have a blog for Button. I still update my Taite and Seth blog sometimes. I just hate discussing subsequent pregnancy on there because if someone reads it who has had a recent loss it may upset them.. (I know it did me sometimes) Anyway, That's it for me..
Hi ladies well today im 20 weeks excatly so have hit my first milestone now to make it to 24 weeks. We found out bub has a single umbilical artery were trying not to worry but with our luck so far theres not much positive thinking going on. My next scan is on the 30th were I will be 23 weeks and 3 days bit upset but suppose cant change it can I... Well the u/s tech is 80% sure this bub is a girl so hoping it opens its legs at the next scan .
TylersMummy, i actually know 2 people that have had pregnacies with a single umbilical artery. They both had healthy baby boys. I think they both had some extra ultrasounds to check on bub but everything went fine. I know that you are still going to worry but know that it happens a lot.
Laney - I know i found a thread on here also where another woman had found out the same thing. I think after this next scan I will be able to enjoy my pregnancy
Tylers Mummy - it's such hard news to hear, that there is anything remotely "unusual" about your pregnancy. Single umbilical arteries are usually fine, but there is a LOT of scary stuff out there on the net. I recommend NOT looking at it. As Laney said, you will still worry. Our wee Amelia had a single umbilical artery and she was a strapping healthy girl for her age, and it wasn't her health that caused her early entry into this world, it was mine. So I know my wee Amelia will be looking out for your little one. You never know next scan she might be all shy again and keep you in suspense a little longer. I am sorry about the timing, wish it were better for you.
Belly rubs to you my friends... maybe I will join you soon Or maybe I will be enjoying this TTC caper? AF arrived last week, so there is a line in the sand and something to measure now.....
Dory - Thank you, yes most of the stuff is scary but I read about it on here and the girl had been and searched on google so I had a look and well yeah im not worried about that stuff as I know this bub is healthy and had no abnormalities when I had my scan so hopefully this will be the sticky bub that DF and myself get to show of to the world .Timing is crap but it must've been what my little man wanted or else I wouldn't have this little one growing inside, lol i hope it does open its legs I know its good to be surprised but I was really hoping that my first 2 would be the only ones I'd ask to know for the sexes. Good luck to you and your DP on TTC sending baby dust your way.
Dores, awesome news hunny! will keep everything crossed that it happens super dooper quickly and HB gets to be a big sister!!!!!!
Hi to everyone else.
all plodding along nicely here, getting the courage up to go to my GP next weej and book into a hospital at long last, cant rush these things hey
Skybie - Thats good to hear how is your pregnancy going? Still got morning sickness or any of the yucky things associated with pregnancy? lol. Thats good about finally getting to the hospital dont blame you if it wasnt for the fact I had Tyler in a different state I dont think i would even have the courage to go to the hospital here.
Pregnancy is going great, havent had any ms or anything like that which is awesome, honestly if i hadnt have had a scan on monday i wouldnt even know i was pregnant!
dont know how im going to go going back to the hospital, but because im T1D, no other hospitals in the area will take me which sucks.
3 and a bit weeks until we find out what we're having, im so scared its going to be a girl, hence why we're finding out so early so ihave plenty of time to adjust.
Have u found out what you're having?
Skybie - Thats good to hear, sucks that no other hospital will take you im sure you'll be fine though. Aw well hopefully things go great after you find out. The u/s tech wasnt 100% sure but thought it was a girl so my next scan I am hoping baby wont be shy and opens its legs
Skybie - no rush my dear, about hossy. It's hard. Is that hossy the hossy where Jack was born? Why are you nervous about this baby being a girl? Give that bump a rub for me, and Moo and Squid too.
Miss B - November is getting closer!
Blessed - how are you going? Still on self imposed rest? How is little button going?
Laney - how are you and your bump? How is Brexton and Grayson?
Well, this is going to sound weird. But as desperate as I am to be UTD again, I have opted out of this cycle. Well not really - DTD a few days ago, but not likely to be fertile. I suspect I am ovulating now and am sadly resisting DH's advances. Mostly because we have just paid for a trip to go see my Dad for his 70th birthday, and if I was UTD, we couldn't go. We go at the end of the month, so it's just this cycle. It feels odd, letting this one go.
Anyway, computer probs, so Dh needs to tinker. Belly Rubs goregous mummas.

Dory - Im doing as good as i can be . Ah yes trying to for some reason whenever DF and I go to bed all I think about is how Tyler should be here I know its bad but I just wish he was. Wow 70 hes doing well lol hope you have fun
AFM - I had this weird dream that I was BF bub and woke up leaking lol . Already started leaking but not bad which is good . Noone warned me off bleeding noses i seem to be getting them alot.
Tyler's Mummy - I had read that nose bleeds were common. I never got one though until HB's pregnancy (#4 pregnancy) and I got a few over a few days and then nothing. I can't remember how far along I was. Do you know how to manage them? It can be a bit confronting at first. It's ok to think about Tyler and want him here ( even when you "should" be thinking about other things.....) Hugs for doing it tough sweetie. Oh man, I had one of those dreams too. It was awesome and really helped me. Better get yourself some nursing pads huh? Pregnancy can be so glamourous, but then again it is the most amazing thing ever I reckon, dispute how uncomfortable and hard it can be. You are doing just the most amazing job blossom.
Dory - Ah yes was a little confronting but yes im on top of these out of nowhere nose bleeds for now . Thank you hun its hard but im handling it aswell as I can be. Haha yes should probably get some since its coming in sooner than I thought.Haha I agree with you on that my back is in alot of agony and DF wont rub it hes worried hell hurt the bub but he does give me a foot rub hehe so im lucky. Thanks again I just wish things were easier and not so complicated. Is it HB's birthday soon? Are you having a party? How is she doing and how are you?
Dory - So glad you at least got AF. Sending :babydust: your way for next month. Happy 70th to your dad!..
Skybie - Dealing with the hospital can be so hard. I have been there twice now and didn't cry. I have cried every other time, whether it be walking in walking out or during a consultation. It was only 2 appointments ago when I was walking out and it occurred to me that I hadn't cried. It's a weird feeling. I felt good, but there's also that slight bit of guilt. It's hard to explain... I'm so glad your pregnancy is going well.
Tylersmummy - Bleeding noses suck. I haven't had them as such, but my nose does bleed when I blow it, and in the morning I wake up with it clogged sometimes. Yukky, but very common! for you. I wish our babies were all here too and we didn't have to go to bed wishing..
AFM - LONG POST!!
Firstly i can't believe that this gestation with my baby boys I was in labour!! Only 4 days til I get over that milestone of 24+2..
I went to the cardiac clinic on Monday and mentioned that I hadn't seen my normal OB for a while, so the phoned her and asked her to see me. She did which was good. She is really really happy how things are going. We went over all the scans and she confirmed that my cervix is looking really good and it was probably just mucous in the 19wks scan. She ALSO confirmed that my swabs came back clear and I don’t have thrush,( WTF?? lol) it is probably the coating of the progesterone pessaries irritating me causing me to be sore and itchy so she told me I could give them a break for a few days. I’ll probably stop them for 3 or 4 nights then continue on til about 28wks. My next scan and OB app is when I’m 26wks so we will discuss ceasing them then. I didn't put one in last night and already I feel better.. Mind over matter?? Who knows, but I don't care! Lol
I asked Dr P if she was still looking at an early c section and she said yes probably at 36 and a bit. She said we could see how we are going if we felt comfortable we could push it back, but I doubt that will happen because I will be 38wks on the 23rd, so if I had it then I would be in hospital at xmas (not that it bothers me, but it probably wouldn't be planned like that) and I doubt she would want to leave it til 39wks. I'm not sure if I want to end up in labour over xmas, and end up with an emergency c section..
On Tuesday I went through all my baby stuff to figure out what I need for Button. I went through stuff I had from family day care years ago,filled a bag for the op shop. I just picked out the best stuff and I’m getting rid of the rest.
I went through Taite and Seth’s stuff too. I really don’t need a lot, I will use most of that, I have just kept a few outfits that I wont use and that I will keep just for them. I have picked Button’s going home outfit. It is an all in one but it’s long sleeved so I may have to buy something short sleeve, it will be hot in December. I coped really well emotionally going through the twins clothes etc, but then I came to the congratulations cards I got when they were born. I bawled my eyes out then, but you know it felt good just to sit with their stuff and cry. I haven't done that for a long time.
I am starting to truly believe that Button will be coming home in about 14wks.. I can't wait to get the furniture out of layby, particularly the drawers so I can put the clothes and stuff properly away and not have it all stacked in the wardrobe! Lol
So that's me. I'm feeling really good and I'm not bedresting anymore. In fact I am going out for lunch today with a friend i haven't caught up with in ages. Yay
Blessed - Ah it is yucky lol. Congrats on almost being there hun Im hoping ill be like you at the 23 weeks as thats when I went into labour. Hopefully your appt and scan goes great . Yay for it not being thrush I hate it its icky..Hopefully your not in hospital over xmas are you hoping to go earlier or later? I wish I kept the clothes I had but unfortunately I gave them to a friend who was struggling with getting things but oh well hopefully I can start getting clothes ready soon. Yay for having the outfit picked out already I havent got that far but hopefully ill find something that will fit bub just perfectly when she gets here . Hope your ok I myself have done the same thing looking at Tyler's box where his ashes sit just make me want to but for some reason I just cant. Yay 14 weeks and your wee button will be in your arms hope everything turns out as good as it can be . Lol in the same boat as you but need our own drawers mine and DF's stuff is everywhere and right now ii just cbf cleaning . Have a great lunch and yay for no more bed rest!
AFM - I had bh last night I thought oh noe as it felt like contractions but werent painful I kept checking to make sure no fluid was coming out luckily there wasnt abit relieved but I had 7 within 15 mins and they were very tight on my belly. I thought it was bub pushing out as I was giving DF a cuddle from behind and thought bub was joining in but turns out it wasnt so I didnt have much sleep I kept waking up to make sure that bub was staying in. 2 weeks tomorow and I see bub again ashame about the dating but oh well.
Bit of a rant here my cousin is pregnant with her 2nd child also and shes actually getting ready to drop now everytime she posts something on facebook all the family comments etc like my aunty has sent her an outfit for bub and my grandparents have bought a few things etc but im not happy.. I mean she has a son already whos just gorgeous but I cant help but think why cant they be excited for me? This maybe my 2nd child but I do not have a child as of yet Im just disappointed that shes favourite because shes pregnant again yet im just nothing :| Stupid family...Atleast my mum is happy probably the only one out of the family who is .
Wow what beautiful weather summer is coming!! I dont know how I am going to handle being pregnant in this hot weather . On a sad not my step dad's grandpa which is also DSS and DSD's great grandpa is dieing.. DSS is at the age where he understands so DF and I are prepared for questions and to answer them aswell as we can.. The family went to say there last goodbyes last night, when mum and step dad got home they were telling us that his grandpa was pushing past everyone just to give my step dad hugs and to touch him alot and his last words to my step dad were " I love you" very sad I even cryed but hes still hanging in there but will most likely pass away tonight or later today mums taking me and my sister to see him but for some reason I just dont want to be there.. Im a big baby when it comes to these things. Well something happened last night DF and I were coming back from the fish shop with chips and a dog ran in front of a 4wd, the 4wd slammed its breaks on and DF and I turned and seen the dog roll under the 4wd and then get back up and run poor little thing was in shock wouldnt even stop for its owner I just about cryed when I heard the dog yelp.
