Well hi all. Just checking in to see that everyone is doing fine. I am plodding along. got all of Campbells old baby clothes out today and have put them into soak for a day or two. they are very yellow as Campbell has chronic reflux. I dont know if i will be able to use them again. Which brings me to the hiccups. When I was preg with Campbell he always had the hiccups it becam quite annoying really. And now he still has the hiccups all the time. He is unfortunate in that the valve that closes of his stomache which usually matures around six months of age has not matured so any pressure on his stomach makes hi vomit even now, so I hope this is not a sign. I
was told it is from the baby swallowing fluid.
Went to the baby expo yesterday, got some bargins a nappy bag, a sling and a play mat. Also got a sleeping feeding bar, so wish I had of bought one with campbell. Have a question when did you start wearing maternity bras?
-
hey saph, poor little campbell. did the docs say when the flappy thing would mature??
as for maternity bras, I waited til 20 weeks and then went to DJs and got properly fitted. I went from a 12B to a 16C. I never would have gone up to a 16 if i didn't have a lady doing a proper fitting as usually I'm a size 12 and i would have only thought to go up one size at most.
apparently your milk ducts develop on the sides as well so you have to make sure the cup encapsulates the whole lot.
anyhoo, I bought 2 good bras for DJs (wasn't even taht exxy) and now just going to pick up a couple of cheapies and some materity singlets from big dub.
I was told at the fitting that your boobs go up and down in size and to make sure you still have room for a bit of give.
hope that helps.

hello girls.
i hope your all having a good weekend.
havent been round much still lurking though and keeping my eyes on you all lol.
there is so many of us to keep up with atm so just a big hi to you all.
afm, today is a really good day for me ive been able to get all my house work done even pruned some of my plants ;) been getting lots of pressies for bub we already have sooo much but i luv it .dont know if i already said but bassinet come as well its so cute .
mmm not sure what else now im having a blank .
well girls take care and keep growing beautifully bellies love to you all.

Hey weekend posters! Well it seems I haven't experienced the hiccups myself yet so :crossfingers: no reflux. thanks for the descriptions though, I'll know what to watch out for it and it sounds like there is no mistaking the feeling. I feel like I'm running out of time for those big movements I've been warned about (kicks to the nether regions and ones that take your breath away) because won't she be running out of room soon, or is that just wishful thinking?
KellyD, sounds like a better week at your ante natal class, thanks for stopping in to update us. Still it sounds a bit full on and I don't think I could sit still for 4 hours in an intense class like that either so I don't blame your little one's impatience.
Grub, I did the same thing with the maternity bra fitting - all the same as you and went the 12b to the 16c, though it's not as big a shock for me cos I did the same when I got fitted for my strapless push up for my wedding dress only got pushed up into 16DD (woohoo)! I think you just go for style and comfort and if you're still not fitting by the time they reach the 20s, just stop looking at the size. I can't imagine you poor old Miss Magpie, I remember you getting enormous in the early days;) I was told about the milk ducts and that you need to be able to make a fist inside your bra so that when the milk comes in there is room for expension. i didn't think of any of that, just wanted to lift those puppies! Anyway, I spent $60 and didn't find it comfortable and reverted to my one good old faithful regular bra that still fits. I do need to revise that situation, right up there with the reggies (jocks), but I hate underwear shopping:doh: even more than I hate wearing it.
i wasn't going to tell you this but since it's just us, Smithy when I read your post I cracked myself up big time. Given some of our recent posts about prunes, I thought you were saying you'd gone a bit far and "pruned your pants", a different mental picture altogether and not even prefaced with a TMI warning!!:redface:. Talk about roll around laughing. You go girl!!!
-
:ROFL: murph your a crack up hun BUT glad i didnt pruned my pants yukkkkkkk imagine what the kids would say to me "oh mum you stink " how shame mum....
on the other side but funny you should say this because i only said to mum and coop the other day if i poo on the labour table I DONT WANT TO KNOW RITE . ( SEE THE THINGS IM THINKING OF OMG SMITHY )
-
Mel thanks for the info I'm so glad they give a list I'm not a light packer! Wow next in line what an honor. :D
KellyD congrats on 30weeks Oh your picture of the deck and the sun is making me feel warm. hope it was wonderful.
Hi Murph, I've been having allbran and prunes in the hope to avid that trap but I guess some things are unavoidable.
Saph, the baby expo isn't in Adel until I'm a mummy :( but I guess I can go with a baby instead of a bump. HOpe you got some cool stuff.
Grub I like the idea of being fitted although it it is still a bit odd but better comfort.
Well (drumm Roll) DP popped the question!!!!!!!!! :dance: I'm finally a fience!!!!!!!! :dance: I'm so happy.
The boat home was awful 3m swell and so much wind. Really glad to be on solid land although my body isn't there yet. We only got to see 2 of our friends and will have to tell the rest via phone before the rumors get there first. Feeling so relaxed which is so good. On to another week. with more energy :D
-
:loveshower: CONGRATULATIONS GREENSLW!!!!
:happyforyou:
how'd he do it??? have you got the ring??? just wonderful news... big year for you isn't it! Are you going to hop down the aisle before bubs or take your leisurely time afterwards?
Murph, whose the dag now lady lol! don't worry i often have to reread posts and have read some very odd things.
but just on the jocks situation... I went and got me four pairs of mens, size large after a week of stealing DHs ;)
best thing i ever did. They go around the belly, don't ride up like the maternity bonds undies and (warning TMI) provide plenty of room for those somewhat larger girl bits. lol. so no more suffering in your jocks murph! haahahahahahaha
Also, KellyD you also inspired me... i was out this weekend lapping up the sunshine too.
Big thumbs up smithy for feeling better and for getting to the fun bit ... shopping!
oxoxo
ps having roast lamb for dinner. just wanted to rub that in! oh and DH not only polished my work shoes for me but washed my car ;) woot woot. think he can stay.
-
CONGRATS GREENSLW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG so exciting. I am a total wedding freak. Love them. Can't get enough. Want to have more of my own (to DH of course) but can't really admit that in real life because I know how craaaazy it sounds. But seriously, I want to get married in a field of flowers, on a beach, have a rock n roll vintage style vegas wedding, ah, delish!
Now, ladies, can I ask some advice?? I am a bit worried. I don't want to cause a silly fuss, but I just feel a bit odd. I have been counting my contractions, and at last count, I had 5 in 15 minutes. But they're not getting stronger, nor more painful (they are somewhat painful, but certainly not excrutiating), but I do realise that it is a lot. But maybe that's just normal for me?
I have read lots online and I seem to have some of the symptoms of pre labour but not all, and given my experience last week, I know I should probably just call the dr, but I don't know if I'm over-reacting.
Anyone else having frequent Braxton Hicks? Maybe this is just my twin tummy getting ready???
argh! don't know what to do :)
(and don't want to unnecessarily panic DH - espec at 8.30pm on a Sunday night)
jenxx
-
Ooh, JenC, I'm sorry I've got nothing for you but wanted to let you know I just read your post and will try to get some info from my ante natal stuff. It does sound like a lot of contractions but I have no experience yet. My body is going crazy tonight with uncomfortable BH too. If in doubt tell someone, who cares if it's a false alert, just last week you were in hosi right? Anyway, at least tell DH, is there anything that exciting on telly on a Sunday night? Good luck, I'll check on you and hope things have settled down.xox
-
Okay JenC, are you still with us or packing your bags? To identify the difference between BH and labour contractions:
labour contractions have rhythmic quality;
develop into pattern of increasing intensity over time, become more regular and lasting longer;
walking or being upright makes them stronger (resting or lying down like with BH does not make them go away)
Things to consider: once the contractions are coming regularly, (every 5 mins or so), are lasting up to 60 secs or more and becoming fairly strong, it is likely that your cervix is starting to open and labour is established.
If the contractions are 5 mins apart or more and not painful, cervix may just be thinning but not dilating.
Labour contractions are like period crampy and lower back pain.
I'm not saying this is happening but sure sounds like you have a case to talk to the doctor and DH about. Either way, don't rely on my dodgy 3rd hand information. Good luck.
-
Thanks Murph - you're lovely.
I called hosp - and they said it sounds like irritable uterus, so to take some panadol, pop a heatpack on my tummy, and try to relax, and then see what happens.
If pain doesn't subside, or contractions don't subside, to call them again.
So that's the immediate plan of attack :)
Have spent the last half hour or so reading about irritable uterus, and it does sound exactly like what I'm experiencing, so will chat to my ob about it on thurs at next appt.
xx
-
Jen how are you travelling? Did they go away? Hope your resting up take care and keep us updated. xx
AFM - just a quick one - i ended up in hospital yesterday withwhat they thought initially to be a listeria infection but in the end more likely a viral gastro :rolleyes:. God i felt dreadful - the other issue was that my bp was through the roof and i had protein and blood in my urine so i'm at home now resting feeling so much better i have to go back tom to check bp and urine again so :pray: it will have soreted itself.
Take care everyone - remember how precious our cargo is and rest up!
xxBella

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 :)
Jenx
-
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. Login | Facebook PS. send me a friend request if you want :)
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
-
:hug: oh no frostysmum hunny im so sorry
-
i know i dont belong here, but i just wanted to let frosty's mum know that i am thinking of her and DH, i am so so so terrible sorry for your loss, rest in peace little man xxx your mummy and daddy love you very much xxx
-
:hug: - oh frosty's mum, i am feeling so upset for you love. sending you all my good vibes and love for both you and DH at this most horrible, trying time. I hope you can surround yourself with lots of love and support. i'm glad you were able to give your bub a send off.
:hug: sammiejam i can really hear you on feeling so torn between heartbreak and joy. i would also find that situation so confusing but i personally think it would help you by the acknowledgement that this is still a loss, even if you still have a healthy bubbee, that doesn't dimish any feelings of loss for your other little angel.
jen how are you going love?
thinking of you all girls. oxox
-
Frosty/smum I am so sorry for your loss. Try and be kind to yourself and give yourself time to grieve and to heal.
I am just guttered after reading these posts, why is life so cruel to those who have tried so hard.
Feeling a little insignificant in the world right now and this news has just made it seem to hard for some. A friend told us she is preg today. I dont have a problem with it, but this will be three under the age of three and she was on the pill. Why is it so easy for some and so dam hard for others?
Sorry for the emotional outburst/ Have OB appointment tommorrow and have a list of questions as long as my leg ( Arm is not long enough). Sorry no persies just cant keep up. Hope everyone is doing well.

Frostys mum - Im so sorry to hear of your loss :hug: Its very sad news. Please take care and know that we are all thinking of you.
Jen - I hope your doing ok. Glad the red pills are working!
Greenslw - Congrats on your engagement! Thats wonderful news. Im waiting VERY patiently for my DP to pop the question!

Frosty's mum sorry to hear the news .
Sammy - that is not good news either.
I hope you both get to take some time out.

hi ladies
frostysmum - im so sorry for you, I couldnt imagine going through that, you are very strong.
Murph - about the hiccups, it feels like a jump in the belly every 2 or 3 seconds and lasts about 5 to 10 mins, further down the track it feels deep down in the pelvis, sometimes it feels like my vagina is jumping! you will know trust me!
Jen - I cant believe you may give birth before me! i admire you! and all women carrying twins, god there is no way I could have coped!
Smithy - just a shout out to you! you look great and i hope the MS is getting better! i still have mine but am in control of it most days.
Also someone mentioned about sleeping on their left side, trust me, its the way to go, when i lie on my right i feel short of breath and have heart palpitations and my doc told me its the flow of the blood that gets restricted, it feels awful so i can only sleep on the left, and i miss tummy sleeping!
AFM- I cant believe i only have 3 and a half weeks! less according to the ultrasound dates! have my appointment tomorrow to check my bloods one more time and see if i need to be induced RE liver function and BP, but I think all will be fine! i have too much to do before bubs is due anyway so I am against induction! ive been getting little period type cramps on and off for the past 2 days and DF and I TRIED to DTD the other night but it was impossible! I felt like I couldnt breathe no matter which way plus my girly bits were BURNING! like extreme burning inside and I dont know why, its been like this the whole pregnancy! sorry TMI? but im over it! i want to feel close to my DF. hope everyone isnt in too much discomfort! if not you will be!!!

MHB - I'm hoping to keep the little boys in here for longer than that!
Saw my ob today, and learned that I am now in here until the boys are delivered. argh! I suppose I knew it was a possibility, I just didn't expect it.
oh well. it's for the very best. I need daily monitoring, plus i am on nifedipine every 4 hours. apparently if I go 2 days with no contractions I could be given a 'leave pass' to go home or out for a few hours.
well, the waiting begins!!! imagine if I held out until 01 Oct when c-section is booked - that's a loooong time in here.
very nice hospy though - lovely midwives. so it's not too bad.
miss my DH at night though :)

Oh jen I can only imagine what it must be like stuck in hossie looking at the same four walls it would drive me insane. But take some advice from a mum already rest up because when they are here there will be no rest for the wicked.
MHB So hear you about being uncomfortable but how can it be already I am only 13 weeks.
AFM went to OB today. All is looking ok at the moment. About resricted growth issue, I will be having an extra scan at 34 weeks to assess growth and the plan is for induction at 37/38 weeks. She is not worried about a small baby she is actually more worried about a baby that is to big and having the tramtic birth that we had with Campbell. She said that when the baby is to big its shoulders get stuck and that then causes breathing problems. Campbell did not breath and ended up in the intensive care unit for 3 days because he got so stuck. He was the biggest baby in there and got a twin bed all to himself. LOL
Being kicked off the computer so hope everyone is doing well and will check in later.

Jen I know it is not much help - but at least you can feel some confidence at being monitored and have answers to questions at hand. Definately suggest getting some good books!
Sorry no personals - there are so many people on here, if I don't look every day it is very hard to catch up -
AFM - all well here so far, just tired still and sick as a dog - I am really hoping the MS goes in a few weeks. It is so speradic - can wake up fine some mornings, but go terribly downhill by mid morning, or can wake up feeling like crap and that continues - but find the worse time is from about 4.30 onwards till bed - I may as well set up camp in our bathroom!
It is just hard to function at work when all I want to do is crawl up on my office floor. But have to continue to be perky as know one knows - very hard.
Hope all is well with everyone.

31Bec,
Im right there with you girl. I am in a bad way today. Headache that wont quit, puking - the works. Body still thinks it carrying twins :( Just realised that we are babybuddies. I am 8w 5 days today also :)
FrostiesM. Omg. I cried when I read your post. I am so so so sorry. I have felt your pain more times than I care to think about and I know nothing anyone can say will take away the pain, time is the only thing that eases it - (but even then you carry it, tucked away deep in your heart) We are all here with you, holding your hand. Please know we are here if you need to vent, cry, scream, anything that you want to express. Huge hugs darling.
I also want to say thank you so much to everyone for your beautiful and kind words. Means so much to me. (damn it, tearing up again) I cant really talk about this IRL because everyone is so overjoyed that Lil Peanut #1 is going good and they dont seem to understand that looking at Lil Peanut #2 all teeny and not living is very hard. I guess the longer my pregnancy goes on the better I will feel about it all. I am very worried that Peanut #1 will just "vanish" like #2 did...
anyways, enough about me. I hope everyone is feeling ok, especially our gals on bedrest and Jenc77 in hospital. I hope you have foxtel and unlimited interwebz!
Big hugs everyone,
Sammie
