Laney _ I have been thinking of you ever since Sunday,knowing you had your scan coming up. I have been pretty busy or distracted as my mum was visiting and I had a few things on that just tired me out..... hence my abscence.
So glad your scan went well AND you're thinking about and have started sorting out a new room for this little bubs... it does make a difference when bubs kicking and movements become more regular, takes some of the worry out.
Cindee - that BP is high.... hope you feel ok. Is it that range before pregnancy?
AFM - went to the Dr yesterday as I had a cluster of symptoms consistent with pre-eclampsia. My BP is slightly elevated so am having a protein test of my urine tomorrow with another check up. DH says my mum visiting is enough to give me the symptoms.... although I uncharacteristically had a headache and was cranky. Both very unusual for me. Bubs had also been a bit quieter and I think that might have contributed to my mood too. Sadly I now have cankles ( swollen ankles).... My Mum got to hear bubs heartbeat yesterday, but she didn't seem that excited. Maybe my expectation of her reaction was out? For me it's one of the best sounds ever....
Has anyone used an epino before? it's a balloon thing that some people use to stretch the perenium in preparation for labour. I am not sure it's worth the expense -about $200 AUD, but wold be interested to hear what you thought of it.
Dory, I hope everything is OK with your tests. It's really good that you're under such diligent observant eyes!! Don't worry about your mum not getting too excited hearing bub's HB. My mum was the same, and then after Cam was born she told me that she was STILL worried to the end that something would go wrong (w/o telling me of course as that would just freak me out!). When Cameron was born she was over the moon and back!!
I'm sooooooooo excited about your ticker hun, 35 weeks!! Woo hoo!!!!!!! So so proud of you darling, not long to go now!!!
Big hello to Laney, Jo, ButterflyForever and anyone else I missed. Glad that everyone is doing well!
Beata - thanks! I think that might be the case.... all good with my BP today... still have some of the other symptoms though... mostly annoyingly a headache. Oh well. I am a lot more crampy since Tues, so I am hoping bubs stays inside for another 2 weeks, so I can make September..... Love the new photo of Cam.
Could it be BH Dory????? Sometimes mine felt like period cramps. Fingers and toes crossed for bub to stay put for another 2 weeks at least. Hope your headache goes away soon hun, I get them all the time and sometimes I'm sooooo over it!!! xxxxx
B - I am not too worried about them, I have had them for ages, just an increase in the crampiness but not regular enough and not really increasing in intensity or frequency.... I guess I was just feeling glum with all the unusual stuff buzzing around... headache gone this evening... I don't normally get headaches at all, so to have one is unusual. Hey - I just noticed your sig.... hilarious Me OMG 40.....
Dory, I normally do not get headaches either. I get them on and off during pregnancy. I think that it is pretty normal. I have also been getting cramps from time to time. They have been getting more frequent over the past couple of weeks I hope everything looked good when you went to visit the doctor. You are almost there!!!
I have my growth scan tomorrow afternoon. I have my fingers crossed that bub is still measuring big!
I hope everything looked good when you went to visit the doctor. You are almost there!!!
