    Wink Happy days

    Hi all!

    Thanks for the warm welcomes. It's so weird to be here. I'm hoping I can calm down soon and stop worrying about every twinge. Perhaps I may eventually stop feeling the need to POAS every day to make sure I'm still pregnant! '

    I figured out my EDDis 10 Feb 2010 - yay!

    I'm looking forward to following everyones progress and hearing all the pregnancy stories.

    Hey Murph - Awesome news. I'm so relieved everything is ok and that you can now relax and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy. I'm sure you will treasure every single moment from here on in.

    Murph - that is fantastic news! A little princess on her way, perfectly happy and healthy.

    A huge hello to all you lovely pregnant girls!

    AFM. All going well. Lot's of belly stretching going one, and the little rascal is moving around heaps. Bit of a sore lower back, so I have to be a bit creative with the pillows in bed.

    I went to a pregnancy yoga class on Monday and disgraced myself, so can't go back. I've never been to yoga, so I hope I don't offend anybody here - the instructor was doing a relaxation/visualisation thing, and she wanted us to concentrate on our perineums, and imagine a branch growing out of it and into the ground. Well I got the giggles and couldn't stop. After I calmed down, she had has doing one of the yoga positions and I"m afraid that I let one go.....a bit of wind. So I won't be going back! How embarrasing!

    Yay Murph!!!!! That is such fantastic news. Brilliant!

    Neptune, you are too funny. That is hilarious. I needed a good laugh today, and that's given it to me

    Misty - welcome! Don't feel stupid for POAS every day - I think we probably all went through that phase. Takes some getting used to - this good news. Wishing you a healthy and enjoyable preg.

    This post won't be long I'm afraid as I still can't really sit down properly. My pelvis is totally screwed (sorry, if that's too crass). I saw my OB on Tues and he tried to tell me that I needed to stop work all together. Easy for him to say! He doesn't have to pay my mortgage! But the pain is getting to me a bit this week. I've been a bit teary. However, in the 15 min stretches that I have been able to sit I have managed to sew four summer quilts for my little boys. They're all red and navy spots and stripes. Very cute.

    Hope you're all doing really well, and when I can sit at a computer for longer I'll be back with a proper catchup.

    Thanks for all your thoughts.

    hi ladies

    welcome misty

    IM UNDER 100 DAYS NOW!!! YAY!!!!!

    i just want my little boy here i dont know how im going to last another 14 weeks!!!

    there are so many missing posters from the EDD list, I wonder if they will post BA's?

    MURPH - YAY a girl!

    i love my bub sooo much but i feel a bit sad that im not having a girl it sounds terrible i know and i honestly didnt care before i know what we were having in fact I preferred a boy originally coz me and DF love AFL and would love to have a son to play footy with his dad but now when i see ppl posting they are having girls i get a tad jealous and dont know why. This will prob be our only child well for at least 10 years or so due to the terrible time im having physically with this preg and couldnt ever imagine doing this again so maybe its coz im afraid il never experience having a daughter.

    also someone mentioned a doppler and stethoscope, im not the thinnest person in the world and my uterus tilts back very far into my spine, hence the not showing much still, and my GP got a heartbeat straight away at 14 weeks with me, a good doppler should detect before 20 weeks and i also have an anterior placenta, I have my own really top notch stethoscope and still cant hear bubs heart with it, i guess everyones body is different and i personally dont think its worth the stress!

    Grub - congrats on the great scan, im so happy for you, its such a relief isnt it.

    Neptune, you made me laugh with your yoga story. But I bet you weren't the first and won't be the last!! That's hilarious, I bet you couldn't get out of there quick enough!

    Jen, you poor thing! It's a bit hard to follow doc's recommendations when you do need to keep working for financial reasons. I guess it depends if work is able to be a bit flexible in allowing you to take a break when you need it... When you think about it, even if you were at home, if you can't sit for long periods, you''ll need to be moving about anyway - might as well be moving about at work and earning money at the same time (assuming you're not doing a desk job). When had you hoped to continue working until before your pelvis problems kicked in?? My ob told me with twins that I'd want to be finishing up work by 22-24 weeks just because of tiredness. Hope you're feeling a bit better soon - think of the end result!

    Hi to all the other girls. Hope you're all well.
