good to see everyone still in here!!
I am havinf a hard time atm and i cant even pin point why..
i jjust feel the need to cry and i am stressing so bad...i thought the good scan wouls re asure me but it didnt... we had a great scan with Kyarna at 16 weeks then went back 2 weeks later and she was gone... arghhh i just want to be happy and excited about this!
mo4, I am in the same boat as you. Having a really tough time atm. We can get through this.
dory, i just made cupcakes for Grayson's B-Day. He doesn't care for cake just yet so I didn't do much. We are having a family party on Sunday. My MIL is decorating with sponge Bob stuff and getting a Sponge Bob icecream cake. Too bad I can't eat any dairy while pregnant
AFM, this anterior placenta is driving me crazy. I could feel Grayson kicking at least once a day by 15 weeks. I think I felt a little something a week ago but now nothing.
SB, When did you start to feel little kicks?
Well, I better get back to cleaning. My mom and Gram are coming for a visit tomorrow. Should be a nice distraction before my scan. Oh yeah, and DH and I have been married for 4 years today. We are going to try to go out to eat. That is if Grayson agrees to a nap.
Oh Laney- i hear your pain on the anterior placenta.. and i hate to be the bearer of bad news- but it wasnt til about 20-ish weeks that i started getting some real movements.
It was soooooooo hard during that time- (even harder for you i will imagine) coz like you with Shane i felt early movements- and even with Zahra- because the placenta wasnt low i felt movements earleir with her too- but this time it was a lowish anterior placenta which meant she was hidden until she moved up the womb. It was really frustrating!!
On the good news side though- i get loads of wriggles now- and they are so lovely!! I would just reccomend lots of extra checkups and appts for your own peace of mind until you feel bubs- coz it is going to do your head in!!!
SB, thanks, I guess! I do feel a bit better knowing that you didn't feel much of anything at this time. My placenta is perfectly placed right in the middle front. ugh
I will have lots of appts starting after this next scan. I have been using my home doppler a BIT more than necessary lately so I know that it is time for more visits. They are just really hard with Grayson. He is very active and doesn't like waiting rooms.
Laney - how did Graysons party go? And the cleaning? Its tough when whilst you feel you need more appointments for reassurance, at the same time its a bit hectic with Grayson.... if you have an Obstetrician that you see regularly, can you make an arrangement with them that you will call before your appointment to see whether the Ob is running on time or not? And then you can either be at home if you live close or outside or even in the car and then you can go in when you know there's not too much of a wait? My Ob has a kiddies play area, but he also doesn't mind kids making a fuss and thankfully hardly ever runs really late, or if he is his receptionist calls. Anyway, hope you get on top of your anxiety, at leat some of the time.
M04 - I hope you are feeling better. I haven't had an anterior or low placenta, but I imagine it would make it even harder not being able to feel bubs move, I know it certainly has helped me quell some of my anxiety. But as with all things, it does create a whole host of other concerns....
Starbright - how are you going? 35 weeks is awesome. Thinking of you.... are you huge and uncomfortable? I am really looking forward to that!
AFM - not much going on here. Just being grateful for each day. Have to take #2 furbaby into the vet this Tuesday for a tooth extraction. No doubt I will be worried, but hopefully not as much as last time, but if I am so be it. I got so anxious last time about the cat I went to see the obstetrician as my anxiety flowed over to bubs. At least I could get some reassurance about bubs whilst I was waiting for the cat to come home....
Kam, JLK, Klee, Cmeglles - hope you are all doing well. Thinking of you.
laney - how was graysons birthday? did he have a lovely day? i had teh placenta at the front too this time, and i didn't feel anything til the day before 21 weeks and then didn't really get daily movements til 25 weeks. i hope your placenta doesn't cause you more stress than you need!
dory - isn't it funny was causes us to get overwhelmed and nervous, you'd think a trip to the vet would be nothing, but unfortunately for us, the 'normalest' (lol is that even a word) of things gets to us.
hi to everyone, and belly rubs to all, sorry this is such a short post, but i've barely had any me time in the last week, my ds got knocked about with hand, foot and mouth disease, he's been very clingy to me, added on top of trying to everything sorted in the house for the move. have been booked in, for later this week, i wont share the date, cause it takes my body a bit to get started with induction, and i'm usually a day or two more than the date i'm given, but i'll get sb to post for me, if she doesn't go into labour first, to let you girls know. feeling quite anxious cause we're at the time we lost dd, but we're nearly there, one foot in front of the other.
