Hi Ladies just a quick up date for me Twins look fine but they are abit worried still about the fluid levels so have to see a specialist on friday to see what my options are we might not have to do anything but they think it is twin to twin transfusion syndrome which can be dangerous for identical twins 1 option is to drain a bit of fluid from the big babies sac as he has quite alot and hope that it may correct it self but can't really say till Friday but I will keep you in the loop.
Welcome new mummies Sammiejam, Babydreams, 31becc and Laniwantsababy hope I got you all.
Theresep so sorry to here your news my DH and I were talking about you a couple of days and now I have to tell him your sad news. Thats great your getting back on the horse so to speak please keep popping in letting us know how you go.
oooooh smithy I can only imagine what that would feel like (sucky) hope it goes away soon.
Babydreams, wow you have an interesting conversation to have with your boss. No I have a meeting with big boss next Thursday, But still thinking of telling boss first. Don't want her to feel like I'm going above her. even if she's scary.
Kaydee glad all was well. I'm sure your face is important too. Goodluck Friday
Welcome Laniwantababy
Murph all night disco and you can't even have a champagne! must be nice to know Jazzy's ok without a scan though.
Becc I think it's just the middle that is full of waiting. by your third trimester it's 3 then two weeks, can't wait. But I"m glad for not BT weekly.
Smithy, those drinks really helped when I had gastro couldn't stand water. hope it's helping you.
KellyD thanks for the info I"m calling for sure. Also good to know you can forgo the sweet drink. I'm learing so much.
Well update, my assistant KNOWS!!! Could have something to do with the pickle and olive lunch I had yesterday (guess I have cravings) she asked in an inocent voice "are you pregnant" not expecting the huge smile on my face. So it's out a bit, I need to see my boss soon. I do trust her but this just makes me relise it's time.
KellyD wow only 10 weeks that does sound quick, Glad your tests went off ok. Still don't like the sound of the sweet stuff though.
Oh MHB not long to go, I have those lingering feers too, sending you lots of healthy possitive vibes. p.s. my mum's name is Lydia I love that name
Becc well done on your milestone
Babydreams thanks for your goodluck I know I"ll need it. Maybe Tuesday.
JenC glad all is fine with glocose. Goodluck for wednesday.
BabyDreaming I think matching ticker would be nice, I'm a very visual person. I put on 600g in 5 weeks but that's ok, just keep an eye on it. Hard to be healthy when you've got ms. I'm almost in tripple digits. OMG. Oh well not the time to panic. It was my friends second bubs so maybe that's it.
Laniwantsababy, I do feel better but alot of pressure to tell my boss before my assistants gussing gives it away. She's a natural mother and would have had 10 if not for women's issues (she has three though)
ATM: off to work, Bummer, I really will slow down next term only one extra day. Trying to curb my carbs as ms is leaving me which is hard but I'm going to take the challange as I don't want to be much heavier than I am. Helped DSS with his homework till 11pm last night, I hope the teacher doesn't realise it's me doing the work (well the tidying up) He really needed another point of view got a D for something he really should have passed last term and his confidence is low.
Sorry I havent posted in awhile, have just been lurking and reading up on everyones progress
A BIG hello and WELCOME to 31Bec, Babydreams, Sammiejam and Laniwants a baby! Great to see so many new faces in here. Hope you enjoy the thread
Theresep - Im so sorry to hear of your loss You have such a positive attitude. Hope to see you back in here soon. Take care.
Jen - Congrats on reaching your 3rd trimester!!!! Your on the home straight now
CONGRATS to Grub and Twomums on your BLUE bundles. Im caught in the middle now between both your blue bundles and Murph and Kelly's pink bundles!!!
Kelly - How EXCITING hearing about your 4D scan, it must of been amazing seeing your little girls face. Thats not good that you fainted during you GD test. I had to have one earlier on in my pregnancy and they too had trouble getting blood. Hope the results come back favourably.
Murph - LOVE your description of Jazzy's "all night disco" hehe Not good that she's keeping you awake at night. Im struggling already with having to get up to go to the loo and getting comfy let alone a "disco" inside, lol
Kaydee - glad your re-test was all fine.
BDT and Smithy - hope your MS have settled down for you. Its not a very nice feeling. I only vomited once luckily but I felt nauseous alot which isnt very pleasant. Take care
Azzrenae - thinking of you and hope all goes well today.
Greenslw - you do really need to slow down! Take care.
to everyone else
AFM, I have FINALLY started feeling some movement, not much and not all the time but definately SOMETHING I just hope bubs doesnt decide to keep me awake at night! Im struggling in the mornings getting up for work as it is, lol I hit the Target Toy sale yesterday too and have some pressies for bubs for Christmas. My future SIL and MIL went shopping too as did my mum so am sure bubs is going to be VERY spoilt!
Just time for a quickie, I've just been reading all your posts...wow so many. It's great!
Congrats Grub on your little boy. I really felt the bonding begin instantly when we knew what we were having. I know people like the surprise element too but this way it's like you are half way there getting to know your little guy from now til you meet him. fantastic for you.
MissMagpie, I have news for you and it's all pink! Lol. I accidentally put your details in the EDD that you were having a girl and now I think it's an omen. I removed it but thought you would like the slip up. I know you are wanting a boy so hope it goes your way, but I think it's time for a bit more of a feminine touch.
Oh...just quickly, my gorgeous nappies arrived in the mail today...so cute tots bots bamboozle fitted nappies. Soooo soft and lovely. They're not the bees knees at keeping everything in and still need covers but I just love natural fibres and don't mind a few soggy bums around the home. We'll use other types like pea pods and others as well but I love the old style terry towel and these are an updated version.
BEC31: I can't wait for my scan either but my clinic has me down for 8 1/2 weeks!! I just want to see that heartbeat. May call and see if they've had any cancellations and try to get in during week 7.
Hi to everyone else, have to go and make dinner as DH cooked last night and it's my turn tonight. Wishing you all a great weekend.
Azzrenae, hope your appt yesterday gave you some answers about fluid levels and everything is ok. Thinking of you.
Greenslw, pickles and olives... my god, you are in trouble with the cravings aren't you!?! Good that someone at work knows, makes the next one easier and the ones after that even easier to tell.
BDT, poor thing with MS. Hope it goes soon and you're feeling better. I'm with you on the colour matching thing with avvy and ticker.
Jen, glad Glucose test came back all clear. I didn't find the drink too bad either, it was just that it was on an empty stomach which made it hard to keep down. Yay for your 28wk scan next Wednesday. Hope you get a good look at your little boys.
Smithy, hope your MS goes soon too. Hard to cope with everyday things when you're feeling so yuck.
MHB, you're cooking a big one in there! Hope your nursing placement is going well.
Grub, congrats on your blue bundle in the oven. Very exciting to be buying little outfits.
Kelly, congrats on hitting 3rd trimester! You certainly had an eventful day yesterday. Hope you're feeling ok after it all. When I had my glucose test done the nurse was checking on me every 10 minutes or so, I'd say they have a few women who feel unwell after the sugar hit. Yay for bargains at the toy sale!
Miss M, great news you have started to feel movement. Over the next few weeks, you'll be surprised just how much your little one squirms around in there! Christmas is going to be exciting this year with so many of us having new little bubs to share it with.
Murph, for your nappies. It's the little things that get us excited!! We've gone with disposables because I don't think we'll have time to wash nappies in amongst looking after twins and DD.
Babydreams, 31becc, Lani. Hope you're all feeling well.
AFM, scan yesterday showed 2 good sized bubs. Both are just under 3kg.. 2 weeks to go! They're looking a little squashed in there. I can't wait to meet them! Starting to get a waddle - it must be really bad for me to feel like I'm waddling!!
Frosty's Mum So cool But I think I'd do it all day so glad I don't have one. Must be soo great though
OH MHB what a pain in the preverbial. I think facebook has alot to answer for it's so easy to keep in touch and cause trouble. Can DF block her and her sister? I would.
Kaydee your waddling! oh so cute. I bet you feel like you're going to pop 2x3kg is is heaps and I bet they are waiting to be away from each other (just a little space anyways) are they Pink and Blue, my brain is mush and I know I should remember but dont.
MissMagpie I did take on your slow down vibe. I do need to say no more. Hopefully when my boss knows I can do this with less guilt. With my teaching job which is casual I'm waiting for my term 4 hours before I say anything. Hide that bump. for movement that is so cool.
Murph, Funny I was going to buy those nappies too until I babysat my nephews and held a baby with one on. I'm not sure, they do get a little soggy. Maybe a mix is best for me.
ATM just finished DSS's homework with him Yayaya last night I rolled over and it was uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach. I really have a mass now.
Thank you for all the welcome wishes. It made me feel great.
Smithy have you tried Acupuncture for the MS? I have been told it works great. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Murph- Let's hope Jazzy gets her all night disco's out now and so she doesn't have any when she arrives into the world.
Bec- The waiting does get better. I was always so anxious during the 2ww, and then the 12weeks seemed like forever. Hope it goes quickly for you.
azzrenae- Hope all is ok with the twinnies and everything goes good at the appt tomorrow, for you.
Greenslw- I also told a girl very early cause I wasn't feeling well and she was questioning me and she said you aren't pregnant are you, and the look on my face must have said it all too. It makes you feel better when someone knows.
Kaydee- Hope all goes well with your BT for good news.
KellyD- Good luck with your bloods too. I hope I only have the Blood Sugar via blood test I am not looking forward to that drink I had it before I started IVF and it was horrible.
theresep- Sorry for your sad news, my thoughts are with you.
Hi everyone,
Lani, a big welcome from me too, I remember seeing your posts before, glad you have joined us in here and congrats on being 19 weeks already. Seems so far away for me, and so many milestones to get over.
Greenslw, yay, your news is out, have fun telling everyone. I must admit everyone at my work knew from the get go, they had seen me go through so many IVF cycles, I couldn't help but share, and it was nice to have the support. You also asked about showing with twins, I am 9 weeks and no sign of a baby belly (though there is plenty of 'pizza belly' there ). There is a slide show for twin gestation on another site I have found, and at the 12 week mark, there is little to no baby bump. Is this your friends first baby? I think second time around you show much quicker as the muscles have been stretched.
Azzrenae, wishing you all the best for Friday, I hope it corrects itself and you don't need any intervention. Thinking of you.
Kaydee, good news re little traces of protein, take care of yourself and fingers crossed all is fine re your BTs. GL for Friday!
KellyD, your 4D scans sounds wonderful, I am really keen to do this evenutally myself. GL to you too for your BTs this week.
Smithy, poor sweet thing, bring on 12 weeks and hope your MS settles down. I am constantly nauseous but not vomiting. I have heard acupunture is good to, but I have totally maxed out my HCF rebate for acupunture this year already, and just can't afford the $ at the moment.
Bec, thinking about swin flu too, I am travelling to Darwin and Canberra in August, and must admit I am thinking of using a mask on the plane, I would rather be safe than sorry and don't care if I look like a bit of a dag. GL with your coming 6.5 week scan, how exciting.
Murph, Jazzy Lu is gorgeous . I too am keen to get to the stage where I can where tighter clothes and it is obvious I am pregnant, my belly definately has a bit of a pouch, but it is all fat, I can feel my abs underneath still flat. So I am kind of in limbo, I am so excited, I just want it to be obvious if that makes sense. Ahh, a while to wait yet.
Saph, I missed you in my last post, I am guilty of really long posts, and have set a limit on how many pages I am allowed to go back lol. Glad to hear you are well, and look forward to hearing you news as you get to your 12 week scan, I'm right behind you sister!
Grub, sorry to hear you are so tired, I must admit I am really hoping that the 2nd trimester is so much better, I hope you feel better soon.
Babydreams, hi to you and welcome again.
Theresep, so sorry to hear you news, wishing you all the best and hope for success for you for your next cycle.
Jen, congrats on third trimester. I guess no matter what size you are you need a thick skin when pregnant, funny how everyone feels free to comment. I got told by a work friend yesterday that she would really see the weight gain in my face I have put on all of 2kgs since I started stims 9 weeks ago.
Hi to everyone I have missed, I am limiting myself on the length of my posts.
I am tracking along ok, still struggling with the MS, I must admit it is pretty bad, and as I am not vomiting, there is no real relief, I am so happy to be UTD but this is making it hard to feel good. The only time I don't feel sick is when I am eating, as soon as I stop, it comes back, now I am worried about weight gain lol. I had always found I added a kg or two when doing a stim cycle, then would get rid of it in the break cycle, but obviously this time there was no break , it is still there .
I am slowly weaning myself of the prednisone now, and hope to be off completly by 12 weeks. My OB has said he wants me to stay on daily injections of Clexane until 34 weeks at least, which I am happy about, better to be safe, but my belly is looking a little battered and bruised. I have done no exercise at all but am thinking about going with a friend to the public pool to swim. Might need to get myself a spray tan and a tankini, though she has reminded me it is 'COUNCIL BABY, nobody cares .
Love and best wishes to you all xx
PS. this is totally random and a little silly, but I am thinking of changing my ticker so the colours match my avy, any thoughts lol?
I'm sure your face is important too. Goodluck Friday
not long to go, I have those lingering feers too, sending you lots of healthy possitive vibes. p.s. my mum's name is Lydia I love that name
to everyone else 
for movement that is so cool.
for you.
to all
I have put on all of 2kgs since I started stims 9 weeks ago.
