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!
Hello to everyone else, hoep youa re all faring well
AFM: I have my colposcopy today at 2pm - a bit nervous frankly. Will see what they say and let you know later on.
thanks neptune, that's a great reassurance. Yep, I'm pretty sure it's a cold but i'm not really up on my cold/flu differnces (plus i did get the seasonal flu shot with my OB said would afford a limited measure of protection agains SF).
I think my little boy was also pleased to read your words - he's have a little dance
good luck and let us know how you go... oxoxo
Neptune, GL for your procedure today. Great that the physio was able to find a solution to your back pain. Must be a relief to be able to move again!
Frosty's Mum, any bleeding is scary. Hope your Dr can give you some answers this afternoon.
Grub, poor you! A cold is the last thing you need. When I was sick a few weeks ago it zapped all of my energy. I ended up going to see the GP for worries about it being swine flu too. She said as long as I haven't had a high temperature for a few days in a row then it doesn't fit symptoms of SF. It did eventually pass but takes so much longer to get rid of the cold when you can't take anything. I really hope it nicks off soon and you're feeling better.
Greenslw, well done for telling your boss. So glad it went well. GL for telling the big boss tomorrow. I'm sure it will all go fine.
Kelly, hope your appt this morning went well and your little girl is behaving herself. It seems like such a long wait to get to full term when the discomfort kicks in early. I guess at least if she's kicking up a storm then at least you have reassurance that she's happy inside you... just not so nice for you to put up with!
Murph, hope you have a great time camping. You're a bit of a trooper, camping in the middle of winter!
Hi to Jen, Saph, MHB, BDT and all the other girls who I missed. Hope you're all well.
AFM, ob appt this afternoon. Will let you know how it goes.
Greenslw - so glad it went well telling work. I was crapping myself when I had to do it too. I hyperstimmed and was in hospital and sick as a dog for months, then finally got back to work only to have to tell them that I was going to be going again. But my boss was super excited for me too. It's so lovely when you get a genuine reaction like that isn't it. I'm so happy for you.
MHB - far out, you must be seriously tiny. I just measured myself around the middle - 92cm!!!! I can't believe it. I've started to waddle
Grub - hope you feel better and get reassurance at the dr. You'd have to have really rotten luck for it to be SF, and you're right - it's totally treatable within the timeframe. I asked my ob about it too, and he said it is a really sudden onset marked mainly be a raging fever and very very sore throat.
Neptune - so glad for you that the back pain has gone. I am longing for that day
Frosty's mum - big big big hugs to you. I hope everything is ok. Pls let us know. We are all thinking of you.
Kelly - I haven't had any cervical tap-dancing (thank god by the sound of it), but I am sleeping terribly. The problem is that whenever I need to get up in the night to go to the loo, the boys think I'm up for a party, and start kicking and rolling and generally having the time of their lives. Then I can't get to sleep for about 2 hours, finally falling back into a fitful sleep until about 10am, which of course puts my entire body clock out of synch, so the cycle keeps going. I've decided that tonight I am going to stay awake for as long as I possibly can and hopefully exhaust myself into sleeping through.
Kaydee - hope your appt goes well this afternoon. Let us know!
AFM, well have growth and well-being scan this afternoon, and can't wait to see my little beans wriggling away.
DH is taking me to Byron Bay this weekend for some pampering and bit of us time before our cozy little lovenest of 2 becomes 4! I can't wait.
thank goodness it's done!
GL for telling the big boss tomorrow. I'm sure it will all go fine.
