Sorry i have been MIA lately - been having crazy time at work, first tri tiredness extreme but i have been lurking and keeping up with everyones progress.
Murph - congrats on such wonderful news xx
BG - yay! Congratulations can't wait to hear more.
To everyone else sorry i have no time for personnals but wanted to jump in and say i'm still here and should be posting a bit more now that life seems to be setteling - well not for long though hehe!
AFM - Ofiicialy 12wk 4days! - had my NT scan today - it was fantastic seeing how much they have grown and moving around so much! Apparently all measurements were "perfect" official results in 24-48hrs. Very relieved - can't wait just to get on with organising and buying things!!
it is sooooo cold this morning even on the gold coast!!! hope everyone is doing ok and i want to see some more bubs born! where are they?
i have my diabetes bloodtests this week, i hope i dont have it but then again i will be induced at 38 weeks if i do which at least is a date to count down to, thats the silver lining im thinking about if it is worse case scenario.
not much else to report, bubs doesnt stop wriggling and im sick of feeling busting and then there is only a dribble TMI! i just want to pee normally! oh and BP is still in the 150's over 90's so still being monitered.
i have written up our birth story - link is in my sig for those that are interested in reading! it's loooong though, so make sure you have a cuppa (or a cold drink - so cuppa doesn't go cold) and a snack...
just a question to anyone who might know, i had a high level of ketones in my urine i know it often means nothing, like because i hadnt eaten for a few hours, but has anyone else had this? im worried i have GD, as i still vomit, and very fatigued and urinate sooooo much more than i think is normal, so will be finiding out in the upcoming weeks also my boy is very big for his gestational age which is also an indictor.
Just a quick note as I'm at work. Hope everyone is well!
Me=him=bub I am unsure about GD but I did read somewhere that eating small regular healthy meals helps reduce high keytone levels.
Just a quick update for me: I have been worried about various twinges and pains but mostly about a sharp occasional pain in my left side. I also went from having humongous sore breasts to somewhat reduced breast symptoms. I did a lot of reading about this and was convinced I was having an ectopic pregnancy. However I had another blood test today, and my levels have gone from approx 300 at 4 weeks to 3000 at 5 weeks. So I have been reassured that there is no issue and no need for me to have an early ultrasound. So....any tips on how not to be obsessive an anxious after a much longed for finally achieved BFP?
For those of you in Melbourne, hope your staying warm! I got spoilt on the weekend on the Gold Coast wearing just a t-shirt only to come back to this cold weather.....brrrrr!
Murph - I am so happy for you Thats such wonderful news. Its been a very stressful time for you and you are a brave woman. Hopefully now you can sit back, relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Congrats on having a girl too!
Bella - glad all went well with your scan. It is amazing to see how much the baby has grown and to see it actually LOOKING like a baby!
Neptune - what a HOOT about yoga! That is something Id be likely to do, lol Dont know about the whole "branch" part!!!!
JenC - sorry to hear your in so much pain. It is easy for the OB to say stop working isnt it?!?!?! Money doesnt grow on trees and not many of us can afford to live long term on one wage. We dont even have a mortgage as yet and wonder how we are going to cope. Take care.
Kelly - Im still envious! Hope your enjoying your time at home
BG - hope all is well and nice to hear from you
to MHB, Kaydee, Misty, Grub and everyone else.
AFM, went to my OB yesterday for my monthly check-up. Heard the babies heartbeat and it made a THUD as it moved, was very exciting as I cant feel it move as yet! My diabetes test was negative which is a relief. Will go for another one later on in my pg. He got a letter from my gyno and his recommendation is for me to have an elective c/s because of the extensive surgery I had last year so my OB has "tentatively" booked me into his diary for 4 November!!!! As it gets closer, he may push it to the following week depending on how Im going. I thought Id have to have a c/s which wont bother me as Ive already been cut open twice now so whats an extra scar!!!! At least the c/s will be a smaller cut. Otherwise, am moving house on Saturday, have lots of packing to do between now and then. Not looking forward to it!
Take care all,
Tania

Miss Magpie - how exciting to have a real date! Nov 4 - that's about the time i'll only be finishing work (34wks) so i know it's only 5 months away! lol. how quick is it going??? and don't worry about your scar collection, i have one too from the removal of a rather large dermoid tumor, cycts and of course appendix. it's like a little map of your life lol. good luck with the moving... let dh do all the heavy lifting!
oh Misty - asking what you can do not to worry and stress being pregnant is like asking what you can do to not read into every twinge during the tww... it's just impossible! I have found it quiet difficult until very recently to accept this is actually happening and get excited without feeling i'm getting ahead of myself iykwim.
My IVFclinic nurse told me to just enjoy the moment and try not to worry too much about the future. i did and still do find that helpful. to just appreciate and enjoy this lovely time because you can't stop what may or may not happen.
Also, this could (i hope not tho) be my only pregnancy and i really want to saviour it and enjoy it. so while it's hard not to worry (that's part of the parcel), i do try to control it and no let myself get carried away with fear. not sure if that helps. oh and the twinges are good... that's what meant to happen. stabbing/sharp pains, feeling like your uterus just spasmed etc is all just bub making room for itself!
MHB can't help you with anything about GD sorry but hope you feel better soon.
hey Bella - big congrats on a wonderful scan result. i definitely feel A LOT more relaxed about the whole thing after our scan... do you??? have you bought anything yet?
hey Kelly D - we aredoing the photo thing as well cos i scrapbook and plan on doing it. but not every week. probably once a month. i'm worried about haivng a big baby as well as my whole male side of the family, except my dad, are very tall as is DH and i'm pretty tall as well. argh! but i guess our bodies create what we can handle.
murph, possums, bg, janie, ellas mum, mels, kaydee and anyone else i've overlooked. hope you are all well, warm and healthy.
I'm well. as you can tell feelign pretty good about things atm. going to start setting up the nursery on teh weekend.... super super excited. fatigue is subsiding and generally feeling better! yayayay. feel really happy and optimistic about things for the first time all pregnancy. suppose just relieved from last week's scan and it's FINALLY sunk it... I'm having a baby!!!!!!
sorry about the long post. and no murph, no more fart yarns ... yet. but i'll work on it just for you ROFL. oxox
Hi to all you lovely preggie ladies in here!
I was just hoping I could join you all, I finally conceived naturally after 13 long years TTC.
It's been lovely reading about all of your experiences, I've finally been able to have a good laugh... lately everything has been making me teary! Saw the Woolworths add today for about the 100th time where the mother is appling for a job and low and behild, I'm a blubbering mess! Surely this couldn't be normal???
Everything seems to be going smoothly, Had crippling bad cramps to start with but it turned out to be constipation from the elevit tablets, so thats been easy fixt now! Sorry, TMI Also have bad MS all day and tender boobies. But hey I'm not going to complain, After such a long wait, I'm just going to try and enjoy it all... After all, it hasn't all been bad, how about those cravings??? And it's SOOO acceptable! Fed my DH hot apple pie and custard the other night for dinner cause that was what I felt like and now today he send me a really nice text telling me all the lovie dovie stuff and it made me think of mud cake! So, If off now to bake a mud cake with a very thick layer of ganache icing!! YUM! (oh and I have had healthy cravings too! cabonnara for dinner tonight!)
Really looking forward to hearing more about everyones experiences!
wow, 13 years... how wonderful to see you here daytona! enjoy that cake.
oh the joys of constipation. i'm just sitting here enjoying a glass of prune juice myself... and i hear you about the cravings... i'm nuts for pasta too so i'll just be over for dinner me thinks! my dh doesn't eat pasta boo hoo.
the food cravings are quiet disturbing... sausage rolls, mini pizza and hot chips... all naughty naughties!!! but i think i'm just parlaying my love of those foods into "cravings'' so resistance is the key for me... i'm armed with fruit, tuna, cheese and crackers for when the hunger hits.
Relief!
So....any tips on how not to be obsessive an anxious after a much longed for finally achieved BFP?
Thats such wonderful news. Its been a very stressful time for you and you are a brave woman. Hopefully now you can sit back, relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Congrats on having a girl too!
to MHB, Kaydee, Misty, Grub and everyone else.
