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).
Laney - thanks for the tips on movement - I have noticed there is more "rolling type movements" rather than big boots. Bubs still manages to get a boot in to my bladder! Awesome news about your scan glad it helped. When is the next one? I think you said weekly?
AFM - feeling much chirper today, although was light headed early this morning. On reflection the 3 hours or so from 4 - 7am was probably as a reult of being hungry... but it's hard to feel up to eating at 4am. Just took one of the cats to the vet - he had a weepy eye, and was keeping it closed. The start of an infection apparently... no damaage to his cornea which is good. He's just on some antibiotics to help clear it up. Poor bugger had to have his temperature taken.... given where the thermometre went, he was exceptionally well behaved. LOL the other cat at home was very interested in his butt when he got home.
Angel Luke's Mum - thanks for the tips on BF. I am hoping to be able to BF for at least 6 months, but hopefully more. Sorry to hear abot the m/s - but it is a good sign... as long as you're not too sick.
Cindee - congratulations on your pregnancy, even though it's a sneaky one... hope you're going well. How are you going with dealing with the crazy lady?
afm - had my NT scan, all went fabulously well, nuchal fold is only 1.7mm, so really thin. I had been debating as to whether to get the blood test, as I know I wouldn't get amnio or cvs and def wouldn't terminate, so based on the excellent results, am not getting the blood test.
They did an internal ultrasound, looked at the scar tissue (which is thicker than average) and the cervix length as well (this is 4cm, is that good for 12 weeks).
Bubs was so cute, my friend and I were nearly tearing up. I am so relieved.
Got another scan at 18 weeks.
had first ultrasound done mummy and baby are both healthy just what i wanted to hear but bp has shown its ugly head very early so had to up my meds, otherwise things are good so far
