Becc - being hypomobile is not a fertilty or pregnancy thing it is just the way I am. Pregnancy just makes it worse.
Smithy hope the MS gets better, you sound like I was with DS.
Thanks for all the advice on stopping progesterone support spoke to midwife again today and she didnt say to watch out for anything.
AFM Spoke to midwife today, they rang me. I am not immune to rebella so just have to watch out at work. We also have a non confirmed case of swine flu at the school so might be taking a few days off soon. I told my class today about the baby as I had 7 kids away sick today, so they would keep there germs at home. Like that will really work we are just a badly paid babysitting service most of the time. Sorry just venting over parents who send their kids to school sick because they have to go to work. Well guess what so do I and I dont want your kids making me sick. ARRRRGH
Jen, Byron Bay... sounds like a fantastic getaway for the weekend! Lucky you. Hope you have an awesome time. So glad you've started to waddle too!! Quack, quack!
Smithy, GL with your appt tomorrow and your scan on Friday. Hope all is well and your MS disappears as you near the 12 week mark.
Kelly, great to hear your GD results are clear. You must be relieved all is ok with your little girl after your appt today. Yay for fortnightly appts!
31becc, first trimester is exhausting. If you are anything like me, you'll have to record all the good shows on telly because you'll be asleep just as they're starting at 8:30! Take care and try to rest up when you need to.
Bella, GL for your scan on repeat Friday. Hope it brings good news on your little ones. I didn't feel movement until 21-22 weeks. Being my 2nd pregnancy and with twins I was expecting to feel movement so much earlier. Bring on the end of work!
AFM, ob appt today showed protein in urine again but blood pressure is fine so they're not too worried. Apparently as my kidneys are working hard to filter for me and both bubs, a bit of protein by now is to be expected. Just told to increase water intake. Planning on inducing me at 38 weeks which is Friday next week... but ob thinks I may go in the next few days Bub1 is engaged and ready to go. So exciting!! Back to ob on Monday for another appt if I'm still around. Woo hoo!
oh kaydee how exciting!!! this time next week you could be a mumma!!! good luck lady.
saph - i am hearing your gurrrrrlllllfriend! i got this bug i'm in bed with from work cos people are inconsiderate and think they are being a martyr by coming into the office hacking and spluttering all over. Not happy jan. One of the girls in my dept decided she would come to work despite her cold turnign to bronchitis and being told to stay home... boy did i guilt trip her; dobbed her inot the boss and she ended up leaving after 30 mins lol... but i feel for you... you can't do that with kids! bbrrrh.... people are so inconsiderate, thus my reason why "i hate people''.
bella - wootwoot for the 13 shifts left! you've got as many shifts as i have weeks oh dear. hope the other bub is all good despite a guts ache for a brother
bec - lol kaydee's comment about taping shows that start 'late' ie 8.30pm. In the first trimester I would go to work at 9am, finish at 2pm (my boss rocks) for a 2-3hr nap. DH would come home and make dinner by 5.30pm, then i'd be asleep again by 7pm, waking up 12-13 hrs later It did get better in the 2nd trimster for like 4 weeks, but you never return to prebaby wakefulness lol. I have been really really really tired over the past month and find even going for a walk exhausting. But some girls just glow and thrive in the 2nd trimester. Hope you start to feel better soon love. and take it easy. I have found that I can do 1 major task a day ie work or exercise or shopping etc. once i figured that out i was much better. Are you working full time??? do you get any slack in terms of early finishes etc?
kellyd glad ot hear it went and well and yaya for no GD!
good luck today Neptune!
AFM: got a vaporiser yesterday and it really helped me sleep last nigth but am going to the gp this morning cos i think it's gone from my head to my chest
BUT on the baby front - Bluey is kicking up a storm. He just didn't stop yesterday and last night instead of watching TV we watched my belly move... very exciting. DH also felt his 2nd kick so that was just fabulous. Just a fortnight ago i was like you Bella, unsure whether it was movement or what, but now it's very definite. And when daddy got up at 6am, Bluey decided it was time to also get up hmmmm so at the moment i'm loving all the movment... but who wants to bet me within a few weeks I'll be complaining! lol.
Grub - my little boy is going insane in there and I"m not complaining yet, although I have spilled a few cups of tea! I alos love watching the movement across my tummy. What cracks me up is DH - you would think that I am the first woman EVER to have a baby kick!!!!! Hilarious.
Kaydee - I am so excited for you sweetie...not long now until bubble and squeak are here. Amazing. Good luck.
KellyD - I've had 5 speculums in the last few days. Ouch, nasty and not very dignified!
Hi to Saph, Bella, Bec, Smithy, Jen, Frosty's mum, Greenslw, and anyone I"ve missed a special wave to you.....rushing off to work.
AFM: Colposcopy was done yesterday and was fine.....they said the lesion just looks like a strange pregnancy thing and not cancer or anything, and they will phone me with the results ASAP. If it is abnormal, they will do another colposcopy towards the end of pregnancy to see if it changes and then deal with it once bubs is born. I feel very reassured.
I am counting down the weeks to finish work now, I am so over it.....6 weeks to go. Wooohoooo!
Neptune, fingers crossed for you the results are all ok. Sounds like they are going to continue to monitor you closely which must be re-assuring. 6 weeks of work to go... that's exciting!
Grub, it's amazing watching your belly move about and DH's just love it cause it's something they can get involved in too! Wait til the end of your PG, pointy bits (assuming they're elbows or knees) come out and roll across your tummy. So cool. I love feeling the movement, it's something you miss once they're here in the real world. I remember after having DD, it was so strange that my tummy was "empty" and didn't have this little bouncy jelly bean catching me off guard all the time with her kicks. Enjoy it!
Neptune: I'm so happy that everything seems to be going good for you and that they found nothing to worry about. 6 weeks of work left, how exciting... mmm makes me realise I would have been the same if I was still working...
Kaydee: I'm so thrilled that everything is now ready in launch position and that your bubs will be here soon. I'll be waiting patiently to see if you are adding blue or pink or both to our ever growing list.
Grub: Ahhhh, see I told you about the movements. You will be amazed at how strong these little ones can get as well. I was saying to DH last night that 6 weeks ago he could just feel her kicks on the outside and now he can feel not just kicks but the rolling over and squirming and all her other movements as well.
Everyone else, big belly rubs. I hope you are all doing well.
AFM: I offically want this week to be over. If anything else could go wrong then I say "no more". Lets see I had suffered from Indigestion (which kept me up for 3 hours) then the fun Cervical pains the next night (awake for about 4 hours) and now last night I compressed all the nerves in my left shoulder while sleeping which kept me awake for 5 hours. I fell back into bed at 7am (poor DH was so worried about me and he needed sleep to go to work) and managed to crawl out again about 30 minutes ago. But my little miss she was cool with the whole thing of mummy being awake, the all night party kicked in... I'm sure my whole belly was the dance floor last night as one minute she was kicking under my ribs, then into my hips and finally down low, then she would start all over again.
I was so apologetic to DH when he got up to go to work, but he was so sweet being more concerned about my lack of sleep than his and he did say to me "That's no problem, I'll have to start learning to have broken sleep anyway once the baby arrives anyway".
Anyway, enough about me this week.. I'm off to start doing the housework before I have an afternoon snooze.
Wow, so many of here atm, its great! Makes it hard to do personals though, right? As I am reading all of your replies I am sympathising and laughing and hoping you continue to do well.
AFM- well, I am in a weird place right now. I cant actually accept I am pregnant. Last night I convinced myself I had a blighted ovum (spelling?) and that I was going to suffer horrible disappointment when I go for my first scan. My FS is going away on holiday (how dare he?!?) so I have to wait until I am 8w3d's before I will get to see him and I just know I am going to torture myself until then. I woke up this morning as sick as a dog and I am still in my dressing gown. I did manage to shower and wash my hair though. Big whoop, I know. I am turning into a couch potato.
I feel so ... seperate/detatched from everything. Like its not happening. I know that I am not allowing myself to become attached because it will DEVISTATE me if there is something wrong. We have all our hopes pinned on this pregnancy which is bad. I guess I am just struggling to believe this whole thing can really work after all our disappointments in the past. All this doctor/scientist/mixin' up babies in the lab thing. Sure, it works for other people, just not me - thats what my internal dialogue has been for the last god-knows-how-long. Its hard to let go of that internal back chatter all of a sudden ...
Oh well. Either there is a baby in there or there isnt, guess only time will tell .
Ok, enough whinging from me. Spose I better think about getting dressed. I feel guilty as hell as all my friends are at work and I am now a lady of leisure. Everyone keeps emailing me asking if I am bored yet. Ummmmm HELLZ NO! I am lovin' it. So far anyway

Smithy my OB has a slightly newer machine maybe 1980's but is' funny how you see something and nope it's your kidney. Glad all is going well
Grub I hope you're keeping lots of fluids down. Enjoy the day at home in the nursery. All done? I second the see your gp if you feel sick.
MHB yaya for bump spot. Hope you felt proud.
Becc go the VCR I say.
Frosty's mum oh I'm so glad all is ok. Goodluck with NS.
Miss Magpie glad bubs gave you a kick to say "i'm here" I really can't wait for that.
Jenc Glad all went well with scan, I'm giggling at the bladder comment, my boss said she used to yell at her son in the middle of the night to stop. Funny now I guess.
Sammiejam, I'm sorry you're driving yourself nuts. but sick is a good sign.
KellyD I hope sleep is your friend tonight. DH sounds really supportive.
Neptune glad your Colposocpy went well.
Saph, I got no support when I went off my meds, the OB just said "it's time" you're body is doing it for you now. Hope all is going well
Bella hope your scan goes well today.
Kaydee for the next couple of days. Bubbas on the way
ATM stuffed, I'm working 1-4 and I can barely keep my eyes open now. I didn't sleep well couldn't get comfortable any side! dam it really makes you feel like a nap. I kept myself busy cleaning the bathroom, bedroom and lounge but now all I want is ZZzz.
Can't wait to have my weekends back 5 weeks to go!
