mo4, I wish I could tell you that the worry goes away. You just have to take it one day at a time. I get physically ill with worry before each of my scans.
Jo, CONGRATULATIONS darling !!!!!!!!!!! OMG I am so excited for you hun! So good to see you in this tread, like Laney said I didn't think yo'd stay away too long! ha ha. Wishing you all the very best for your pregnancy sweetie, take it easy and look after yourself. Big hugs and kisses xxxxxxxx
JLK, CONGRATS on your baby girl hun !!!! Welcome to the world little Tehya Raine. Beautiful name for a beautiful lady!!!!
MO4, good luck with your scan today hun . Try and relax, it is much easier said than done, I know, but bub is kicking away happily so concentrate on this. Let us know how you go!
Laney, Samcougar, Teni, Butterflyforever, Dory, KAM, Cmeglles & CharlieB, hi gorgeous girls!!! I hope all is going well with you and you're cruising along nicely Look at you Dory and Laney, you're flying girls!!!! Woohoo!
Also a big hi to Klee, Starbright, Ellie, Katiegirl & Megan, I hope you're all enjoying your precious little bubbas!!!!
I'm hoping and praying I can join you here sometime towards the end of the year, but not if my DF has anything to do with it though!!!!! Grrrrrrr!!!
Beata Don't worry DH is reluctant for another one now, too. He said on sunday (right before my nephews 2nd birthday party, nice timing!) he was happy with one. I think my heart broke a little bit! But, by monday arvo I had warmed him back up to the idea aagain... sorta XD So there is plenny of hope for you yet!
Sorry ladies, been slack in the posting lately, going to try and catch up, promise.
afm - New world record, I had to wait 2 hours in the antenatal clinic for my very quick 10 min appt, had my kids with me, they were so bored, I was so annoyed.
'Pip Squeak' has grown, they did a really quick glance scan. Measuring to dates exactly still, and bubs was so active, it was wriggling around all over the place, it was so cute. Heartbeat measured 164 bpm, 2 weeks now till NT scan.
Kids saw the scan today, they were amazed, especially when the registrar told them the baby was waving at them
Congrats to JLK on the arrival of your DD! Lovely name
MO4 - thats great your scan went so well!
Beata - my DH was almost totally against having another and we had only just had a big talk about it a couple of weeks ago and he was saying how he didn't want to go through another pg again and the stress etc. He is really happy now though so it was kind of lucky this was a surprise and we didn't have to actually put any thought into it otherwise it may not have happened (well I probably would have got my way eventually but who knows when that might have been?)
Butterfly - thats cute with your kids seeing bubs waving at them but what a long wait! I'm not looking forward to getting back into my ob visits as he was always running behind and now with a toddler to keep amused it will be even more annoying.
Big hi to Laney and all the other lovely ladies!
AFM I am still sick with a quite bad cough. Went to the GP again today as my ribs are killing me and apparently I have bruised where one of the ribs joins the cartilege, hence severe stabbing pain whenever I cough. Also I have pulled a muscle down in my groin area near my hip so that is also giving me excruciating pain whenever I cough or move too fast. Unfortunately due to the pg I cant take anything but panadol and wait it out
On another note my HCG came back at 6820 which I think is an okay number and after saying I wasn't going to have the dating scan, I ended up booking it for next Friday lol. I rang them and they bulk bill so I thought why not!
Hi Cindee, welcome back! I was in this forum when you had your tiny little Miranda. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Are you taking aspirin or clexane for this pregnancy?
just wanted to pop in and say hello to all you beautiful girls, i'm still watching your progress, i just haven't had chance to post as we've been in and out of moves since kristian arrived, with the final one happening this weekend, so i'll hopefully be able to post a bit more after this weekend.
you are all doing so well, i know the crazy lady likes to come mess up your heads, but just try and tell her to get lost, she's not welcome!
welcome to all the newbies, its so wonderful to see you all on this rollercoaster, just getting here after what you've all been through is inspirational in itself, its a big step and a scary ride so just hold tight.
sorry for no personals, i have a lot of posts to catch up on, but be prepared for a huge personals one next week
Klee - good to hear from you and give that cute little Kristian a huge hug.
KAM - good to see little Teyha's ticker going forwards.... very cool. Hope you're taking care of yourselves.
KAM - congratluations on the birth of your little princess Kate. Hope all is doing well. Take care of yourselves.
Starbright - good to hear you're healing well after your c and that Kaleisha is going well.
Beata - I love the new pic of Cameron.
Laney - thanks for the info on Grayson.... I think bubs is now lying transverse for me.... we have ordered a cot and bassinette and pram and I have bought some sheets and blankets. But need to get some sheet protectors.... Will ask my MIL to make some baby friendly and themed curtains... so I guess we are taking some steps for setting up a room. We have a fair few clothes of all different sizes which I am going to pack for hossy today and my bags as much as I can, just in case.
No extra special plans for Nicholas angel -versary. I agree it's so hard. I try not to plan them, just in case all I feel like doing is crying at home. The good news is DH all on his own initiative has taken Wednesday off. I will ask him in time whether it was to be together for Nicholas's day or just coincidence. I agree about not changing the day for your scan .... it ill be stressful and anxious for you leading up to the date, but just imagine how glorious it will be to get good news? I have my fingers crossed for you.
I just by accident discovered that the Australian Breastfeeding Assn runs breast feeding courses for expectant parents, not for just once bubs has arrived. I am going to go to one.... hopefully I can get DH to come along. It's only for a couple of hours one Saturday. The more info the better I reckon, given that both bubs and I are going to be new at it all.
Teni - 5 weeks! Awesome to see that little ticker progressing.
Hi to every one else, sorry I have missed you in my persies. All good here. Feeling a bit glum today but it's not because I am particularly worried about bubs. So that's a change....belly rubs to you all.
ive only just found out, it was quite by accident so im playing catch up at the moment, i have my week booked out next week with appointments but will be on asprin like last time i expect
Cindee - congrats on being back here. We must have overlapped in here on our last pregnancies as I see your DD is 17.5 mths and mine is 15.5 mths. Like you, this pg for me was a surprise too
Dory - I highly recommend doing a BF course! My private hospital ran their own that I went to before DD was born and it was SOOOO helpful. I would have been a bit lost without it but as it turns out I successfully BF for 12 months before DD decided she had had enough and self weaned. So much cheaper and more convenient to BF if you can do it!
Laney - I just wanted to say I'm thinking of you today on Parker's special day. I'm probably a bit early for your time zone but it is the 27th here as I write this. I hope you have a peaceful day and if today is the scan day, I hope that catching a glimpse of your new miracle makes today extra special xx
Okay, better get myself off to work. All good here, m/s has hit with a vengeance, blerr.
dory, movements start to changer after 30 weeks. Bub runs out of room and the big kicks stop. You get more rolling movements.
I would say to take the BF class as well. I didn't take one while pregnant and I didn't last long feeding Grayson. I think I might take a class this time around as well. The nurses in the hospital are also a great help.
KAM, Congratulations and welcome to the world Kate!!!
klee, i hope things calm down for you soon. Moving has to be difficult with a newborn.
AngelLukesmum, Yay for feeling sick! I know it is horrible but a great sign!
Thank you for thinking of us on Parker's angel day. It really means a lot because most people don't want to remember it.
AFM, MY SCAN WENT GREAT!!!!! bub is measuring a bit ahead for dates! I really feel so much better (for the next day or two).
AngelLukesmum: yes miranda is doing well she has another check up next week to see her developmental growth , she'll be walking soon shes cruising around furniture pretty fast.. its quite possible that it may happen again,, naughty maternal bp.. my longest pg was 36weeks and that was for my 15yr old, liam was 35 weeks, angelica 26 weeks, and miss miranda 28 weeks, so id say the odds are high but id just love to make it past 30 weeks.....(fingers crossed)..
