We are going along wonderfully, Archer has his NG tube out as of tonight so are hoping x x x x for a Thursday or Friday exit date x x x x x Back to his birthweight of 2.3 kilos and taking all suck feeds, boob during the day when Sal is with him and bottles overnight WOO HOO!! What a HUGE difference those weeks of baking and some steroids have made for him, considering he isn't due for another four weeks and we are looking at taking him home already :smile:

Well afm, havent been all that well with headaches and nausea, then today another day of almost ready to chuck up, and the headaches. Have noticed some loose bowel movements the past couple of days as well, as they have been accompanied with cramps. Sorry for the tmi, lol. Anyway hoping tomorrow is better. hugs all.

hun ur having a rough trot with those headaches arnt u!!

TBH I am the same when i see my OB, and say you know I don't know if it is normal or not, because seriously I don't know if it is normal pregnancy stuff even though I have been there before it is different and we tend to forget, but I can usually tell by the look on her face if I should have been more worried than not pity more often it has been the concerned look and usually followed by more testing or drugs!!!

im the same hun, i go by the look on his face and the tone of his voice and then go oh shyt should have thought harder bout that one!! lol.....

lucky i can still semi play the first timer excuse!

so glad is all going well with Archer sally!! he sounds like he is doing amazingly well!!

love his name, its our pick if wormette ends up being a worm at tomorrows scan!!!

AFM: all going along quietly here!!! no excitment thank god!!

have finished my antibiotics this morning and only 2 more midnight doses of nifedipine!!
i could probably change it to during the day but coz my face still gets a bit hot when i take it i find it easier to deal with at night and i go straight back to sleep anyway!!

hope everything is going ok Black rose

Morning everyone! Just popping in quickly.

Blackrose, I hope all is well with you and bubs and that you're getting plently of rest.

Csab, hope you're feeling better now too!

Crumpet and Beema, I'm glad you are both traveling well. It sounds like you both have great Ob's And good luck with your scan tomorrow Crumpet!

Sally, good to hear Archer is progressing so well. Yay for coming home soon

AFM, all going okay. I have my antenatal appointment tomorrow. I went to the loo in thew early hours of this morning and I didn't flush as I didnt want to wake up DD. Anyway, when DH went to the Loo he commented on the dark colour of my pee. SO I did a dip stick test this morning and it showed up positive for protein. Not a huge amount but one level abouve trace. it's a once off and when I go to my appointment tomorrow it's all good. I've got a very slight headache today but that might just be psychological, lol. I really hope I'm not getting PE though. Time will tell I guess.

hi girls!!

mamaspice- hope all is ok with ur BP!!!

hi to all of u other gorgeous girls!! hope there is lots of no excitment happening!!

i had my scan today!!!
talk about interesting!!!!

so the stitch looks to be in a fantastic spot, so that was awsome!! pat on my OBs back for that!!!

my cervix has GROWN!!!!! im now over 4cm!!! ive never had a 4cm cervix!!!
sorry beema ive over taken u in the cervix growth department! might only be for a week or so, probably shouldnt get to excited!!!

and we had the gender checked again and they said is a 80% chance of being a GIRL!!!!!

we were told at 12weeks they thought it was so it wasnt a massive suprise!! but we are keeping that quiet on FB for now, DH needs to get over his denial, or wait till its more confirmed so he tells me!!

now just have to see the OB tomorrow for my next instructions!

[*Beema*]

Aww MamaSpice, how are you going hun, how was your appointment today? I so hope that it doesn't develop into PE, keeping positive for you hun. Thinking of you

Crumpet, what a brilliant cervix, 4cm that is truely brilliant, so happy for you, it must be so much more relief to have the stitch in place as well, so glad things are settling for you and Congratulations of what looks like a little girl I am sure her big brother Gus will be protecting her. Goodluck with your next OB appointment

WTG Archer, to be back to your birthweight already what a clever little boy you are, It took DD a month to get back to 2.3kg, I can't believe you are holding a little boy the same size my DD was Brilliant news to hear the NGT is out, one step closer to going home, we took DD home at 35 weeks 1 day and it scared the crap out of me and it was hard but we got there in the end.

AFM ~ Nothing new to report - how fabulous is that, I did have BH's last night, but that was because I went to a funeral yesterday afternoon and there was over 250 people there and had to stand for the hour service, so I definitely know that it isn't an option to do that again as the Nif didn't help at all and I took it at the right time too.

Take care all and hope to hear some good news from all of our Mumma's and Bubba's!!!!

Nope no one offered and I certainly looked pregnant seeing as my bump is very much a basketball and I was wearing a black dress which certainly showed it was a bump... I guess that's life and I am not upset about it, might have saved me the BH's last night though

Yay for finishing up on the Nif, I won't be stopping it anytime soon at least i haven't had to increase the dosage!

Goodluck for tomorrow!!!
