Hi ladies coming along nicely here been having a few contractions over the past few days but they fizzle into nothing. She's still moving a kicking up a storm seen a doctor the other day there was some protein in my urine so he sent it away for further testing FX its nothing my bp is fine and bub is head down and right into my pelvic area.
How is everyone else?
Dory - Look at you 15 weeks well done hope little HB is sleeping maybe it was just the excitment of xmas?
Tyler's Mummy - oh how exciting..... hope they get moving soon, rather than just pfaff around for ages. All good here. See the obs tomorrow for a scheduled visit. Probably have a trans vag u/s to check the cervix. Dh can't come so my SIL is coming to mind H while the dildo cam is being inserted, and then bring her in. Will be interesting sharing it with her. Tyler' Mummy keep us posted. Oh and HB is still sleeping most days.... phew.
TylersMummy - that these contractions are the start of a very impending birth and that the protein is nothing.
dory - good luck tomorrow, we take Kate to all the USs and although she's too little to understand she still looks at the screen with a sort of knowing on her face.
AFM - I managed to book into the hospital, last appointment everything was ok, good heartbeat, head down (as usual), now just to have my blood/glucose test and anti-d injection next week. I'm freaking out a little mentally though, this baby will be the same gestation as when we lost Isabel on almost the same day as we lost Isabel. Not only that but I feel like everyone is a lot more casual about my care this time, like I've got one living baby so they don't need to worry so much this time. Has anyone else noticed this? It's really getting to me because they couldn't tell us why we keep losing our babies and therefore haven't treated it so the risk of it happening again is just as real, isn't it.
Dory - Good luck tomorrow is RB stitched in yet? Glad little HB is sleeping during the day hope your getting a nap in aswell. Hoping that this does turn into something I just want to meet bub already.
Kam - I dont think the dr was worried about the protein as my bp was down so hopefully it is nothing. Glad to hear everything is ok with bub, hang in there not long to go now it is hard once you hit that gestation were you lost your little one and it gets a little easier but it will still be in the back of your mind till your holding your little one in your arms. Hopefully the time flys for you.
More contractions turning into nothing bub has dropped a little more so I am going to hop in the bath for a little bit
Tyler's Mummy - bring on the contractions! For some reason I am not getting the emails from BB. Yep - RB stitched in about 3 weeks ago now - 28th Dec.
KAM - Oh sweetie, I can't believe that this pregnancy for you coincides with Isabel's and for me it coincides with Amelia's. It seems February is going to be really hard for us both. I have the same Obs that I've had since my first m/c, and in fact I think his care of me is even more sensitive this time around. He's asking a lot more questions about how I am travelling emotionally, but he knows that this pregnancy coinicides with Amelia's. But I have found that other people are more relaxed, I suppose they think as you've said one living baby ( so the inference is either, this baby isn't as important either way, or you've done it once so you can do it again? I don't know which one it is. In my dark moments I think people don't really care about this baby, but then they don't have to. DH and I do and that's all that counts). If you feel you're getting marginalised, then be strong and make a fuss. I actually am more relaxed in some ways - I know I can do it, but at the same time I am more scared, as I know now exactly what will be lost if little Raspberry Bear doesn't make it.
Do you have moments where you actually believe the pregnancy is lost and it's just a matter of time before you see the evidence? I am not a histrionic person and I am usually pretty positive, but I would say I have days like that every couple of days. It's not I think it, it's that I am convinced of it. Ahh, it's not an easy path we're on. if I could I reckon I'd be up at the Obs rooms every day seeking reassurance.
Dory - Oh please do bring them on lol I've had enough.. Im aching all over not getting much sleep this is so hard on my body. I had a bit of a break down yesterday I was cooking myself some pasta and well it burnt me so I threw the whole thing on the floor.. Childish I know but ah lol DF isnt much help either, he wont help me do anything I asked him nicely to cook diner but no I had to so I went off at him. Look at you now 16 weeks how was little RB the other day? Hows little HB? Oh glad to hear RB is stitched in .
AFM - Hopefully I only have to put up with this for a few more days I am hoping actually praying she comes with in the next few days. DF's friend is lending us his ute today so we can put the car seat in. Im going to go clean the house again since it looks like crap.
sorry i have been missing. I haven't been receiving BB e-mails about new posts. Thought it was too quiet. 9 days or less for me! I had my 38 week ultrasound and appt. today. Bub is looking good and finally decided to turn head down. I am a bit more comfortable now that he has turned. Scared to death for a 3rd section but can't wait to meet him and have to constant worry end. Hope everyone is doing well.
Laney, oh how exciting! Can't believe he is almost here. Sending you lots of strength for your c section and joyous hugs in anticipation of newborn snuggles. Love to Grays and Brexton.

Laney - not long till you meet your little one hun, hopefully you'll recover quickly.
Dory - Thanks hun
We had our baby girl last night 7:13pm Rylee Elizabeth May 7lb 6oz 48cms long decided to come out finally . I got a 2nd degree tear too but healing nicely.
TylersMummy - Congratulations, that's wonderful news, I hope you're enjoying all the newborn cuddles and recover quickly (I had a 2nd degree tear with Kate, not nice).
Laney - Not long now, Good Luck.
dory - Thanks for asking, I had my anti-d injection and my glucose test, I haven't had a call from the doctor yet so my iron levels mustn't be to bad this time. I have to wait another week for my next appointment so I wont know until then if an early screw up in my care has caused any problems. At my next appointment I think I'm also going to mention something about the lack of care this time around, the risks are still there so they should be treating me the same way. After I get all this sorted then I just have to make it through February, maybe we can make it through together.
TM - congratulations on the safe arrival of Rylee. Are you just besotted already?
KAM - I have made an app with my counsellor for next week to help me face February. And I decided to see a psychologist ( hope I can afford it ) to work on some aspects of myself that I think need some work. Try to make a start. Might be bad timing but I want to start before Rasberry Bear arrives. There are just some things I can do better but my own strategies haven't helped as effectively as I had hoped.
I am on. BB so often these days....smart phones helps that. LOL. Time for me to do something else now.
Thanks ladies weve had a long day Rylee has been unsettled but has done a big poo so maybe that was why. Im very tired have had a few hours sleep luckily she let me sleep for 5 hours then another 2. DF has 4 days off so will be great to get some help.
Sorry for no persies very exhausted. Will come back on and do persies when I get the time.
tylersmummy, congratulations! how has your first week been going?
dory, i have been thinking of you. I hope everything is going well.
As for me, it looks like i am going to make it to my c-section date on Wed. morning. i was in the hospital the other night with contractions but they went away after some fluids. this pregnancy has been very difficult on my body. I am very uncomfortable and ready! We have decided that this will be our last bub. I am very sad about it but i think it is the right choice. I started to have a bad reaction to my blood thinners that caused my blood pressure to be very low. It has made it very difficult to function and take care of my boys for the past 2 months. I am not sure if our family will ever feel complete but i did want Shelby to have a little sister.

It feels so much better being with him. Little miss has been going nuts! I think she missed her daddy.
that these contractions are the start of a very impending birth and that the protein is nothing.
