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.
AngelLukesmum and laney thanks for remembering us, its nice to see some familiar people.. oh yes AngelLukesmum i did sort of bypass you last time having miss miranda 3 months early.. had her in feb09 and was due may 09... things seem ok so far been bit queasy, which is normal, not telling anyone yet thou may wait a long while....see how things go.. DH lost his father just recently so was a big blow to everyone..
hope everyone is going well. have to go lil miss is yelling out mumma.
Butterflyforever - AWESOME NEWS..... congratulations.... excellent news on your NT scan.
I had a scan yesterday and the cervix measured 50mm! OMG - I didn't expect it to get longer! Last measurement was 20 and before that 30, well the ones I remember anyway. I have no chance if I don't write it down...
8 more sleeps til my hospitalised fur baby can come home and rejoin our family.... cant wait for special pussy cat snuggles.
Belly rubs to all. Stay well and as positive as you can be.
Butterfly - the Obs was impressed today and he was similarly surprised. It seems laying around doing not a lot worked for me... oh and where possible a once a day soy chai latte. Maybe it's just a difference in the detail in the ultrasound equipment? Or maybe I am just a freak and it has gotten longer.
Wow Dory that is VERY impressive! Especially as from about 28 weeks my ob told me its pretty common to start shortening in preparation for labour. I never had any measurements done after 28 weeks with DD seeing as it had remained stable after I passed 24 weeks. Good work you!
Is your stitch permanent or will it come out for labour?
Butterfly - great news on the NT scan! And yes, your cervix measurement is great!
Cindee - how is Miranda going after her early arrival? Is there a chance this bub might make another early arrival?
Laney - congrats on a fantastic scan with bub the other day. Wonderful news.
AFM, nothing new to report. Still feeling sick and lost all my breakfast this morning down the sink ugh. Poor DH has been off work on long service leave spending quality time with DD and since I got sick and then pg, he has been doing everything around here including all the pooey nappies as I retch everytime I get a smell! He is back at work in just over a week so I am dreading having to take care of everything again! I am a lucky girl having such a great DH
AngelLukesmum - wow, your dh sounds amazing, lucky you. Hope you cope when he is back to work, the morning sickness shouldn't last too long, mine has just gone at about 12 weeks.
afm - people are starting to notice my belly now, as I am normally really slim (56kg), so it's obvious something is going on, although i am at that stage where people I haven't told daren't say anything in case I am just getting fat I kill myself laughing at the sly belly glances, you can see the cogs ticking
MS seems to have gone stopped eating like a horse, feel a little bit more normal again now.
Wish this cold would leave the building though, keep pulling my tummy muscles coughing, not to mention nearly wetting myself if I have a big coughing fit
After leaving you all with that lovely vision, I'm off.
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)..
