Hi Sweet Girls,
Greenslw, WOW!!! CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! How truely wonderful for you guys! And what fun! Time for a big ole party!!!!!
Jenc77, ouchies! Bad enough with all the other ailments we have to go through without your uterus getting irratable at you! Hope you are feeling better soon though and please keep us posted!
Bella, omg how truely hideous. You poor wee thing. I hope you are feeling much better now. Just spoil yourself rotten and nag the living heck out of your OB/midwife/etc. Make sure they stay on top of everything and treat you like the princess you are :)
AFM. Well.
Just got back from hospital.
Well there is good news and some not so good.
The good news is that there is one big healthy,squirmy little peanut wriggling around looking so cute with arms and legs :)
The not so good is that there is another egg sack with a very little peanut who has no heartbeat :( Probably stopped growing a week or so ago.
However, the egg sack has a placenta etc and is still giving off the preggo hormones etc which is why i feel so sick. FS said it should start slowing down soon (hopefully) but sometimes it can continue up to 20 weeks. It shouldnt effect the healthy bubs so that is good.
I feel sad for the vanishing twin. I know that there was probably something chromasonally wrong with he/she but it still makes me bit upset. I havent said anything to DH about that though because he nearly cried when we saw a bouncing little peanut bouncing around and is very very happy. I am just sharing with my gals cos I know you all will understand.
I am overjoyed for the healthy little peanut though. I am just confused about how and what will happen to the other bub and the egg sack etc? Where does it go? You can clealy see it in the scan pics and the bubs looks so tiny compared to the healthy bubs :( I know that there is no way that its going to just start growing again cos there is no heartbeat but how can its being there not affect the other baby? And will the egg sack etc just keep bigger until it starts doing whatever it is that an empty egg sack does? So many questions, thank goodness for google lol.
Well I have taken up enough space. Hugs all,
Sammie

:happyforyou::birthday2::happyforyou:GREENSLW AND MR GREENSLW CONGRATULATIONS

Grub, my DP is such a sook but not a tipical romantic, he handed it to me in the ute on the way home. I asked what does this mean? he said it goes there (pointing to my left ring finger). No wedding bells just yet, a long time commitment is more important, and no way I'm having a pg wedding. p.s. roast lamb tomorrow for me :D
Jenc why not a different one every 5 years :) renew your love. re braxton Hicks I think call the hosp were you're booked, they'll tell you their thoughts and hopefully ease yours.
OH bella glad you're ok now
Sammiejam so happy for one happy healthy and sorry for one no show. hope you feel ok.
Thank you all for your congrats.
We're a bit of a hippy couple. DP has been hitche b4, when he got a girl pg at 21 (family forced him etc) didn't work and it was very messy ending. So when we got together and negotiated the terms of the partnership (funny but true) He said babies or marriage. Well the choice is obvious. BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!! so being engaged is more than I've ever hoped for and I"m just over the moon to have a visual commitment besides my ever growing belly. It's a saphire with dimonds, green of course ;) and totally me. It's off getting resized and will be pride of place Friday :D I am really so happy.
Thanks again.

Sammie - I'm sorry for the loss of one of your peanuts. It must be hard to grieve for one while celebrating the other. We are all thinking of you, and we are here any time you need us.
Bella - thinking of you lots too. pls let us know how you go. fingers crossed for no pre-eclampsia or UTI.. poor hon.
AFM, well, I find myself again in hospital. This time I was in labour. I was having contractions every 4 minutes, and my cervix was shortening with each one. No dilation yet thankfully, so still early days. Have had steriod shots to strengthen the little ones' lungs, and am on adalat (sp?) every 4 hours to break the cycle of contractions. so far so good. have gone from every 4 mins to 4 an hour!!!!! Miraculous little red pills :)
Hi to everyone else - hope you're all travelling along well.
Greenslw, you ring sounds just lovely, and you sound so happy :)

Oh Jenc I hope you and little ones are doing ok. Keep us posted and look after yourself. :goodluck: :hug:
Atm: I'm ticking, cant sleep, and thinking about bloody work! and a couple of other nasties on my mind. Oh Ok I'll share :D
I had a friend I've known since I was born, we were on and off close, I'm the god mum to her 3 boys and my DP is best mates with her ex. Anyways, I moved to the country and we really lost touch, I think she couldn't cope with the fact I wasn't popping over and when I did it was on the way to somewhere, I did try. This year she's found her inner teenager again, and dispite being a mum (trying not to tut tut here) is partying taking pills and has just left her partner (kids dad) cos he's "boring". Anyways, I haven't told her anything about my pg, in my attempt to negate any negative people from my life, So when my Step Sister posted congrats on facebook I though ok time to confirm with a post, and dispite her seeing my post nothing. I know I'm being silly but it's on my mind. I miss the friendship the way it was but know it can't be like that now.
Work is silly, and I'm sure when I get there in the morning I'll get through it.
Oh slightly exciting I'm going to anti natal yoga! I need to relax and am hoping this will do the trick for me. OH OB on Thursday yayayayayaya :leap: can't wait.

Greenslw, you'll have to get used to typing DF !!!
Try not to feel upset about your friend. People move through life on different planes I think, and it takes some special moments for your own trajectories to intersect. They will again, but perhaps now just isn't the right time. It sounds like she's currently going through a self-indulgent phase, and you are entirely the opposite. You're probably on opposite sides of each of your life cycles, so now isn't the time for you to cross paths again. I know it can hurt, I really do understand, but I always get through things like this by imagining life as a circle diagram, and recognising whose circles are intersecting with mine at that moment in time. It doesn't mean you'll never intersect again.
Big hugs xxx

Congrats Greenslw on now having a DF and no longer a DP. I know what you mean about the not wanting to get married pg. My DH (I call him that he is really my DP) have been together for 6 years and no ring. I think we might get around to it once this little one arrives, we have spoken about marriage and no it will happen some day but really the law sees us as being married just no bit of paper.
Sammie: I'm so sorry to read about your loss. It must be so hard with conflicting emotions about your healthy bubba and now your angel baby as well. Take care as we are all thinking of you. As to what will happen with your angel baby, you might want to ask your OB at your next appt. I know there are a few of us in here who have had 2 emby's transferred and only one took, they say generally our bodies just absorb the other one and then you have the cases where you will have a bleed for your body to expel (not a nice word on the circumstances) the unsuccessful pg. I hope you don't have that happen to you as it would be very traumatising hoping that your good peanut stays put.
Jen: You seem to have 2 impatient little boys in there. Did you mention previously that your OB wants to get you to 32 weeks to be on the safe side. At least you are only a day or so away from there so everyday longer cooking is a good thing. Take it easy and lets hope you don't jump to far ahead on the delivery list.
AFM: Not much happening here, just the usual.... Broken sleep, exhaustion and generally now starting to feel over the whole thing. As our monkey is a bit bigger than her dates she has now seriously run out of room, I had a few weeks of getting hard kicks (when space allowed) but now I am getting feet, knees and elbows being pushed out at all angles. Can I just tell you that when she wants to continually hit the same spot inside it is like having a bruise that keeps getting hit... It hurts... I think she wants out soon as well, fingers crossed anyway.. I am praying my OB books us in for early October, I don't think I could cope having to wait it out until 40 weeks.

Hi everyone!
Just a fleeting visit this time. Good to see you're all plodding along well.
Greenslw: Congrats! I too am a wedding junkie and got married Valentines this year so if you want any tips/advice come wedding time just holler!
Sammie: Sorry to hear about your loss. Must be such a confusing emotion. Just remember we're here with all ears if you need to vent or you can PM me anytime. When I mc-ed my angel in May my DH was completely distant and refused to acknowledge that anything happened so I know what it's like to feel alone at such a time.
Jen: A message from Dory to your little ones... Just keep swimming... just keep swimming :lol:
Murph: Thanks for making me laugh every day hope lil Jasmine is cooking away well too.
Sending :bluedust::pink-babydust: to everyone else
AFM still plodding away here. Have our first scan on Friday and DH has admitted how excited he is. Still eating for 6 or 7, not much MS and still a little uncomfortable sitting and sleeping.
Can anyone tell me the theory behind sleeping on your left side? And should I be doing it straight away? I have been trying but having lots of hip and leg pain and sometimes the only way to ease it is to lie on my back for an hour. I am also a mad flipper, often turning sides every half hour or more so it has become quite difficult to stay put. Also waking up every morning at 2:20am on the dot for some strange reason. And don't get me started on the weirdo dreams! I think I've read too much Twilight cause the other night I dreamt there were bad vampires after my baby and Edward and I were running from place to place trying to hide her before they got to us... Oh Dear!!! :doh:
Anyway hope you're all doing well! Keep up the good posting and :goodluck: to those due to go any minute now!

BOC the left side thing is because your heart is on the left (so I was told) it helps you circulation. I swap all night due to sore hips and sholders. I did read if you end up on you back in later pg you should role on your left side. p.s. I miss tummy sleep :cry:
KellyD oh you sound so unconfortable already. I guess it puts my uncomfort into perspective. :crossfingers: early Oct. I agrea on marriage being a second to baby. I don't have the time (or spare cash) and the commitment is the most important thing. Hope your DH gets to the ring soon though, it's a nice touch.
Jenc thanks for taking the time to write such a supporting post to me :hug: I like your use of cycle and I agrea some people you just grow away from for a time. I am so visual and can see a planet thing happening in my head. Thanks again. How are you feeling today?
Well work is fine today. Probably cos I'm the only one here :lol: but I had a quiet conversation with the angrey lady today and she is really under the pump which I know but it still upset me. It is beautiful today. Just planted some pigface in the work garden (used office supplies for tools) lol it's about 21C light breese and sunny. I'm driving to the other side of town in an hour and really looking forward to the sunny drive. good source of vit D, which I know i've been lacking (bad mood alert) bring on spring.
Oh quicky has anyone been 30+weeks pg in summer, everyone is telling me it will be awful. will it? I know new years will be a right off but I'm happy not to be suffering Jan 1. Maybe it's those "horror story tellers" i've been warned about. Oh well just happy to be pg and will be in an aircondish house, car and office so should be so bad.
Have a great day to all :grouphug:
p.s. will try and remember DF (mental note) oh I'm kidding myself there is no room for any mental anything

Hi lovely ladies,
Greenslw, the biggest congratulations to you and DF, how exciting. My hubby did a dream proposal which was the biggest surprise, and we love to relive it. Actually we also had our wedding reception at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the water, and we have gone back to the same restaurant on our anniversary every year, we are coming up to 5 years in Dec. Each year I wear my wedding dress and DH his suit. DH says it is part of his diabolical plan to ensure that I never put on weight :lol: if I know I have to fit into my wedding dress each year. Though I guess I will have to find something else this year :dance:. I too am not looking forward to being pregnant this summer, and we are in QLD. Thank God for airconditioning and the swimming pool!
BOC, re sleeping on your side, from what I can remember it is something to do with a vein that runs down the centre of your belly, further on in pregnancy if you sleep wrong it can put pressure on it or cut of the blood, or something like that I think. Correct me if I am wrong :D. Wishing you all the best for your scan on Friday.
Kelly, gosh getting close. I hope you are taking care of yourself, you are on the home stretch now.
Mels, just sending out some random love to you, I hope you are going well and just wanted wish you all the best, I know your time is coming soon. I think of you often and really appreciate the support you offered me. I say thank you to God every day, and always include St Gerard also.
Jenc, thinking of you, and glad to hear your contractions have settled down. I am not sure if you remember Bel, she had her twins earlier in the year, I think at 30.5 weeks, and both were fine and are doing great, I think she took them home about 37 weeks. You will be fine, but I hope they can hang in there a bit longer.
Smithy, how are you my lovely, did you end up going into hospital, I hope not, and that your ms is easing off. Loved your updated video, baby Charlie is one lucky baby.
Sammiejam, I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear your news and for the loss of your little angle baby :hug:. As the other girls have said, it must be hard to celebrate one perfect baby and the loss of the other. I hope you are ok, thinking of you.
Bella, yikes I hope you are ok too, so glad you are no longer working and can rest up.
Murph, hi, glad you got the ferry issue sorted out, what a relief. And glad you are feeling better and will be seeing your friends and family soon, and have lots of visits booked in.
Grub, great idea re the mens jocks, though my DH for some reason has about a hundred, I am sure he won't miss a few if I steal. I am still going the G bangers at the moment, but starting to notice the difference :redface:.
Saph, great idea re the baby expo, we had one on the GC recently, though I didn't make it, I heard it was a scramble for all the good things. Me thinks there is a market for a second hand baby shop here.
M+H+B, GL with your bloods and with your exam on Friday, is this the last one (exam I mean)? Gosh only 26 days to go, I feel like that has flown by. I hope you are doing ok.
MissMagpie, Hi to you, hope you are feeling ok.
Azzrenae, not sure if you are still in hospital, I hope you are resting up.
Frosty's mum, I have just gone back over old posts and have seen your signature, if you are reading, I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you are ok, thinking of you.
Hi to 31Bec, TwoMums, Neptune, and anyone else I have missed.
AFM, I am so relieved to have the NT scan over and done with, I don't know what I was working myself in to such a tiz about, I guess there is merit in the saying that you shouldn't stress about something that has a good chance of never happening. The scan was fabulous, I almost cried, and am very happy to say that they are doing great and measuring perfect and we are so happy and starting to feel that this could really be happening to us. Still feels very surreal though. As BB's gallery is no working, I have put some pics on my Facebook page, feel free to have a look. I hope it works.

Love to all xx

Hi All,
Just quickly popping in while Jasmine is sleeping:
Greenslw - I was 30 weeks pregnant at the end of January and was really quite pregnant when we had all the 40 plus degree days in Vic. It was pretty horrible, but to be honest not a lot more horrible than what it has been when I haven't been pregnant. I just made sure I drank alot of water, stayed indoors in air conditioning as much as possible and went for a swim when I got home from work. Don't let people scare you - everyone's experience is different. Just stay as fit and healthy as you can and you will be fine!
Hi to all of you. Sorry I haven't had time to read through everything, but I hope you are all doing well. I think of you often and try to sneak in when I get a moment to cheer you on from the sidelines. Would you believe that Jasmine is 4 1/2 months now! Time is flying by. She is such a lark at the moment - all smiles and giggles. Can't wait for you all to experience what I currently am.

Hello Ladies!
Whoa! I have been reading all the posts and there is so many since I last posted!!Too many for personals for all, just a few quick ones!
Greenslw - Congrats on the engagement!:dance:
Sammie - Big hugs for you!:comfort:
Boc - I heard that sleeping on your side takes the excess weight off some organs and arteries - but it is very hard to start sleeping that way if it is not the norm!
To all you sufferring sickness I hope you feel better soon!:cold:
Quick question - I am pretty sure I have the dreaded pregnancy curse of thrush!! I have called my obgyn and she is away for 2 weeks. I have previously used Canestan with the applicator before being pregnant and I was wondering if it is safe to use that now?? any thoughts - I have heard that the pessaries are better in pregnancy?
AFM: We had our 19 week scan yesterday and we have to go back next week because our baby had enough of being poked after 20 mins and curled itself right up and away from the scanner so no more measurements could be taken - I think it is already taking after DH's stubborness!!:think:
Anyway I better do some work - any help with the thrush thing is greatly appreciated!
Love Mahli!
-
BDT: thanks for noticing. Really appreciate it.
AFM: I didn't want to post earlier to burst anyone else's bubble. We lost our little boy yesterday at 14 weeks and 4 days. We don't know why yet. I had cramps for a day, then I started leaking amniotic fluid yesterday morning, by the time I got to Gynae's, he found bub lying in the birth canal. Gynae managed to remove the placenta etc. so hopefully I've avoided another D+C. DH had gone to work, so I decided to bring bub home to show DH though I know he's squirmish about these things, he was very brave to oblige me by taking a look. We buried him this morning.
Best of luck to everyone though and I pray for everyone's safe and healthy pregnancies.

just wanted to show off my new pg belly in my avvy lol i just luv it:dance:
-
Frosty's Mum: I'm so sad to hear of the loss of your little boy. It was nice that you have been able to lay him to rest. I hope you take all the time you need to grieve and that hopefully you will be able to find out the reason for your loss.
Smithy: Looking good, I know you have been waiting to change your avi for ages.
-
Frosty's mum. I'm so sorry about your little angel baby. I hope you are doing as well as can be expected and have some love and support in the real world too. we're all here if you need us. So sending you big love and hugs. jenx
