omg today was sooo bad its my 2nd day on my placement and i went to watch a procedure done where they insert a catheter through the femoral artery up to the heart to take a look, all was fine then bubs kicked me so hard in the guts i had to run holding vomit in my hands to the toilet while trying not to contaminate all the sterile fields as it was in theatre! i also wet myself with the force of vomiting and had to throw my undies out haha! sooo embarrasing! one guy said to me " i dont think this is the career for you" i didnt say anything but i dont think anyone thinks im pregnant unless i tell them, i kinda wish i had a big bump but he has never truely "popped" ive never had anyone ask me when im due oh well! i cant wait to have my baby!!!
Hi Neptune: So much to deal with and the delivery suite trip must have been really scary as well. I hope all goes well with your procedure.
MHB: OMG, how embarrassing for you and to be sick whilst in theatre must have been scary. Your little boy certainly is a trouble maker if you ask me.
AFM: Well what a couple of days I have had. Indegestion 2 nights ago and last night baby decided it would be huge fun to spend the whole night pressing down on my cervix. It was so painful and no matter what way I turned or moved she wouldn't budge. I'm sure that she has already flipped over and is head down already. I thought about calling my OB to find out if I should do anything, but decided to have any easy day today and monitor the discomfort as I have my appt with him tomorrow at 9.45am and hopefully will get checked out to make sure that my cervix hasn't started to dilate (too early). The only positive is that all this trouble she is causing me doesn't seem to be effecting her, I think she is a little sadistic as when I am in discomfort and pain she seems to enjoy kicking me like mad. Today I have been getting those huge kicks that can be seen through my belly and she hasn't stopped moving today. Have any of our other girls had cervical pain especially moving into the 3rd Trimester?? How am I going to cope with such discomfort for another 12 weeks?? DH & I are certain that she will decide to come early, be that her choice or the OB making the decision but we just think she will become so big for me to carry.
Thanks for the warm welcome. It's great to find a bunch of people who's been through the hoops to finally become somebody's mum. I've been cat's mum for 4 years and frosty's mum since the misc in March. Now finally we're having a viable pregnancy.
I get really constipated with Elevit, so I'm taking Megafol on the alternate day, that seems to help, and anything with tomatoes at dinner time sure guarantees a night of heartburn. Grrr.....
Ange hope the camping went well, enjoy the alone time
Neptune. Glad you're back ache is better that must be a load off.
MHB wow under 50 congrats
KellyD goodluck for 9.45 tomorrow hope bubs lays off the sore spots
Frosty's mum tomatos are a no no for me too.
Well I did It I told my boss and she was happy gave me a hug and everything. Then it came to the "how's this going to work" chat and she said that my job was secure and we'd try our best to make sure I get as many entitlements as possible. I said I want 10 weeks off and she said "as much as you need" so i'm in a much happier place now. thank goodness it's done!
Tell the big boss Thursday, my boss wanted to but said I could then they'd speak and get back to me on the plan. Fingerscrossed.
Have sick child at home at the moment so will be quick as he is crying. At the moment I have extremely sore feet. I am what you call hypomobile which means my joints move further than they should. With the pregnancy hormone relaxin helping out I am in extreme pain, just waiting for the first trimester to be over and hopefully it will get a bit better.
Quick question started reducing progesterone support today is there anything I should look out for. Didn't get any information from OB they forgot to tell me when to stop support I had to ring midwife and ask.
hi saph - i didn't get told to keep an eye out for anything when i came off the crinone. but i wasn't on it for taht long. Good luck wth it and hope your other bubba feels better soon.
yaya greenslw - that's great. it's so nice to see genuine reactions from people you respect or whose opinion does matter to you! my GM nearly jumped over his desk to give me a hug... lol.
hi frsoty's mum = i don't think i've welcomed you! glad to have you here. i love this forum cos it's so positive and everyone so supportive. except like everyone is saying, this is a bumper AC year and so there's heaps of girls here... but hey, more the merrier! lol.
kellyD - oh lovey. remember you are so much stronger than you think you are. look at all you've come through to get this far... 12 little weeks, ha! you laugh in the face of adversity! okay maybe a little overly dramatic, but you get my drift. treat it like ivf - look at the little milestones, not the full race ahead. i hope it gets better for you... and you just know if bubby wsn't booting the crap out of you, you'd be worried sick! it's a double edge sword hey!
MHB - of all the girls on here, I think its your bub that should arrive a week or two early or on the due date... he's probably goig to be a complete angel when he arrives cos of all the terribe trouble he's caused for you. i really feel for you lovey. hang in there.
so good to hear from you neptune! and it sounds like you are taking the bleeding and op all in your stride, although it must have been heaps scary. Oh, and Happy Birthdday! big kudos for getting that back fixed!
murph - enjoy your camping trip. sounds great, just getting away and kicking back, very jealous lady!!! but that's one of the advantages of FNQ living in 'winter' lol.
afm - home sick today. I'm pretty sure it's just a head cold but am booked to see the doc at 8.45am tomorrow. had a major freak out last night that it is swine flu (goddam internet) and then broke down and cried for abot 20 minutes. i think i nearly made my darling darling Hubby cry too. I soooo don't want to be sick. i feel so awful, was already struggling. anyway, just feeling a bit down and out. the only thing i could get from the chemist was panadol and some strepels (at least they're medicated). but only want to take them sparingly. on the up side if it is that nasty-nasty SF, then, according to my research which freaked me out last night, i'll be seeing the doc in the perfect timeframe for the tamiflu shot and hopefully have been proactive enough that it won't be a horror story.
okay sorry bout the long post... but you know me!
hi to all the girls i haven't mentioned. I think the rule is keep posting even if you can't get a persie for everyone. I know we are all reading and keeping track of each other's journies. oxoxo
Crap! Passed a huge clot this morning, I'm in freaked out mode. I still got a heartbeat on the Doppler earlier, then the battery decided to die. Gynae can't fit me in till this pm, I think I'll go get some more batteries. I haven't had bleeding for 3 weeks now, why is this happening again? Far out.
Saph: My FS told me to stop the crinone at 10 weeks, like just stop it, no need to do step down or anything. The theory behind the 10 weeks is in natural conception, the corpus luteum (the follicle that The Winning Egg was expelled from) will produce progesterone to support the placental growth and endometrium thickness until about 10 weeks, when the placenta is firmly established and anchored, and the CL will naturally disappear after that as it's role is finished. As for us who went the IVF route, there is of course no CL, and no extra progesterone except the ones produced by the placental unit, which some FS believes is enough to sustain the pregnancy if it's going to stay anyway, hence some FS don't use extra progesterone support.
Grub for you......the really big difference between a cold and swine flu is the very sudden onset of swine flu/and or normal flu with high temperature.....a cold is more gradual. So hopefully you just have a rotten cold. I feel your terror though, I work in a bloomin hospital with swine flu all around me.......my DH wants me to take maternity leave NOW!!!!
KellyD - GL at the ob today I hope you get some answers for your pain. I'm sure the little devil will move to make you more comfy soon
WElcome Frosty!
