hey all, just a quick one, saw my OB on friday, all seems well & OB says she looks like a good sized baby. Looks like i'll be induced about 38/39 weeks, last labour was 1.5 hours & it takes 2 hours to get to the hospital, so OB wants to start me off in hospital.
jlk, so glad that your appt. went well, what a milestone. I just saw your ticker!!!! you are moving right along. I think induction is a good idea! I wouldn't want to have a bub in the car either
JLK - AWESOME!!! I am so happy for you. I agree, start off in hospital - no way would I want the stress of even the risk of a birth in the car. And just imagine having to clean the car up - well you'd be in hossy so that would be one for someone else.
Laney - thought I had replied to you.... sorry about the delay... another Dory moment. I have been off work since 15 Feb on medical advice. I am not on strict bed rest, but I pretty much rest most of the day. I can do some smal things, for which I am thankful for. I am ever mindful that if I do too much I could end up in hossy on strict bed rest and I am hoping to avoid that, but have repared for it nonetheless. Good to see you moving along in your pregnancy. 17th May is not that far away. How are you coping?
AFM - I have bounced back and am not so melancholy, but its a bit surreal at the moment. I keep imagining as if these are my last days/weeks of this pregnancy, and that history will repeat itself. My next scan on 4 May is exactly the same gestation that Sophie was when she entered the world. It will be both nice to have reassurance that things are going well ( if they are) on that day, but it's also a bit scary to, thinking about what might go wrong. I just have a deep sense of foreboding that things will repeat but at the same time I also have a really strong fundmental belief they won't and I vacilate between the two. It's very confusing and tiring, to be honest. How can we feel so many conflicting emotions? It's almost like I am a walking contradiction.
Dory, good luck with your up coming scan. I know very well the feelings that you are having. With Grayson, I just couldn't bring myself to believe that he was coming home. I felt positive that I was doing the right thing with the blood thinner injections. It was impossible to get over the feeling that I was going to lose him at any moment. It did get a tiny bit easier when I could feel him moving all day. If he even stopped for a second I was poking at him to get him to move more.
I am very surprised that I have been coping much better this time around. It does help that Grayson keeps me very busy. I think that it also helps that I am not suffering from the depression that I had since Parker's death. I do find myself getting a bit emotional this week. I think that is because Shelby's 2nd angel day and Parker's 3rd are both very soon. I do have my moments when I feel like a crazy lady again too. I think that is because in 6 weeks I have my big scan. The scan when they told me that Parker and Shelby were not doing well. I am trying hard to stay positive. My high risk doctor always told me that the odds are in my favor so I am trying to tell myself that.
Dory and Laney, so glad that everything is going well with you ladies. 19 weeks Dory, woohoo!
Jlk, yay for your OB app. going well!
Hello to everyone else, sorry don't have much energy to post. Still struggling with the sleep deprivation, but getting better. My wee man was 6 weeks yesterday, where does the time go??? Feel like a zombie today
Just another quickie from me.. the move is well and truely on.. DH has been working full time now signed all the forms, and we are staying in canberra with relatives frantically house hunting!! Its all happening! I have also made contact with the antenatal clinic here at a hospital called Calvary and i see them in a week to book in so they know i am here. I also still have my other booking back in VIC just in case!! CRAZY TIMES!!!
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYONE RENTING A HOUSE OUT IN CANBERRA?? LOL I am madly getting references together and applying for everything and anything i can!!!
Baby wise- i am feeling good- belly is expanding at a rapid rate and she is moving like crazy!! I m being too busy to think any bad crazy thoughts, and i will admit i feel lot better being in the same town as a hospital!!
Sorry to be so slack in here- my thoughts are with you all and hopefully once i am settled down i will be a better poster
Take care everyone!!!
Big Belly Rubs and tickles to all the new bubbas!!
Starbright - you sound so positive and organised. I hope you find some digs soon. I don't have any Canberra connections.....
KAM - how are you doing?
Laney - You are doing so well. I can so feel your fear and axneity leading up to the next few mnths, so many dates of significance. Thankyou for your kind and understanding words - they helped a lot. I think itsprobably good to be distracted by Grayson. I find when I am distracted it is easier to cope. That's why weekends are so good for me.
Beata - Oh wow, our little knight in shining armour - aka Cameron - is 6 weeks old, already! It must be just so amazing, sleep deprivation and all. How long between feeds at the mo? Is he getting more into something that might look like a routine, even if only 3 hours between feeds?
JLK - I just re read your post and it struck me. Your ob is talking about labour! How awesome.
Hi to anyone else I have missed. I am a bit spacey today. Really hungry at the moment, but don't know what I feel like eating. Oh only 5 more sleeps til my scan on Tuesday.
