Hello to everyone else!
AFM, saw my OB on Tuesday. My belly is measuring 30cm. It should be 25cm He said maybe its due to the baby having a growth spurt. My blood pressure is "ok" but if it goes any higher, I will need medication to control it. Have to go for my GD test in the next few weeks so looking forward to that again...NOT! My hands are starting to get a bit puffy and getting lots of numbness particularly in my right hand Its very annoying when I loose sensation in it. Am feeling really tired too. Have a busy weekend ahead which wont help...DOH! Plus work is getting busy too. Finish work 8 weeks tomorrow and bubs arrives 12 weeks yesterday so counting down the days....WOO HOO!
hi ladies so much to catch up on and im wayyyyy too tired to try but i have read up on everyones progress!
just when i thought i got away with it i woke up with a dreaded HEMAROID!!! couldnt even give it the time of day to spell it correctly! i thought i would make it all the way without experiencing one of these "things" but im counting down the days as this boy is killing me i wake up short of breath all night and can barely make it up the stairs! ive got to pack my hospital bag still as well and buy a carseat and pram! im so slack!
today is my '7 weeks to go' countdown. I can't believe it. How did that get here so fast? I am crossing everything that I can hold them in that long.
I'm doing ok on bedrest. I'm not going insane just yet. The internet and a laptop makes life much more bearable. I've started getting DH is take a photo of my belly every week, and I'm writing a little letter to my boys to accompany each one, so that has been a lovely past-time.
I also still have a fair few things to arrange, so I have been making ph calls, pulling in favours from our lovely mums, and generally just trying to enjoy the down time because I know the minute these babies arrive I won't have a minute to myself again for years!!
hope you ladies with ms start to feel better really soon. I remember those days. yuck. But the good news is that they do pass. I found eating little and often, even when I didn't think I could stomach it, was the best approach. Smithy, yours sounds really bad - maybe a trip to the hosp wouldn't be a bad idea. As Azz said, you don't want to end up dehydrated. They can sort you out there
grub, you crack me up. I'm going to have keep popping back into this thread once my babies arrive just for my daily grub giggle !!
Twomums - hello! been thinking of you
And Azz, you know I'm thinking about you lots. I'm glad you've had some entertainment, and I know you must be desperate to be home. But believe me, it's actually so much more difficult to do nothing at home. Even though my house is clean and tidy, there is still 'stuff' that needs doing, and I'm finding it hard to ignore it all.
Tania - is it carpal tunnel syndrome?? There are things you can do while sleeping to help. Apparently if you sleep with your hand elevated on a pillow (although god knows how you keep it there all night) it helps a fair bit. I hope it isn't causing you too much pain.
MHB - you're getting so so close now!! Nice to hear from you.
Grub the staff Cheered me. They were so happy. I tottally understand the worries. I had chineese last night (bubs hates chineese) and had cramps this morning. I started worring but no more signs today. Glad OB went well and you're feeling better.
KellyD glad OB app went well and your happy with early Delivery date.
Congrats on the boy 2mums
BabyDreamtime oh Darwin I'm gelous.
Bella so nice to hear about your little taps.
Oh Smithy, I'd get yourself looked at that is ages now. hope you get some restbite soon
Sammiejam I think your body puts on what it needs too. Don't worry too much
Azzrenae glad you're resting up
MissMagpie when are you finishing work? My mum went into a long long long story about how when she gave up work her BP went back to normal. I'm not listening as I want to work till I pop but maybe there is some sence in an old ladies rambling? Hope you're feeling calmer.
MHB you're allowed to be slack.
JenC wow only 7 weeks not long how exciting.
ATM. So looking forward to weekend away. Oh had GREAT news today my DP's work mate's partner (confusing) is PG! 4 weeks. She had IVF and had 0 eggs! with her ex partner, this time no IVF just a happy couple and a miricle! I am so happy for them and So excited to have a BB IRL! Pretty cool to share this with someone who has had her own long TTC journey.
yay greenslw! i'm so glad you got such a lovely response from your workers. i found even the people i realy didn't get along with at work were excited when i told them of the bub. there's just something about babies that soften people
as a result of my pregnancy, i find people are nicer to me. one of the girls offers every monring to fetch my chai from the local patissiere (i only say yes if she was going anyway) and i don't have to fill up the printer with paper anymore! lol... shelf is too low, paper box too heavy and i'm milking it baby!
jen - what a lovely gesture.. writing ot your bubbies. are you writing about your journey thus far or how you are feeling or such? just curious you don't have to answer if you feel uncomfortable about revealing. i tried to do that months ago but it came out like the screen play for The Notebook (i could even hear the soppy music as i reread my work lol i'm not very good at that sort of thing). so i'd love to hear how you go about it
I agree those weeks are just flying by! i can't believe i'm nearly 23 weeks!!! that's astonishing, it has gone so fast and i hope it'll continue to do so! wanna meet my new man (sorry DH).
MHB have you got some cream? and remember to eat foods to help soften things up so you don't strain and make things worse. you have really earnt this bubbee haven't you? taek care of yourself. ox
Hi miss tania - good to hear from you but sad to hear you are having some issues. sounds like you really need that maternty leave to start asap. take care of yourself love .
grapes are good smithy but like the others said, don't get too dehydrated. oxox
azz - stay in the bed! i can imgine how boring it would be to be stuck in hospy and your family at home. you poor thing. and i alwasy find it's when you HAVE to stay put you can't, but every other tiime you'd love to spend a few days with your feet up. murphy's law... lol... no pun intended murph... promise
All the other girls who are finding it hard to keep up, please keep posting so we know how you arae going. Everyone understands if you can't do a full list of persies everytime
