Pregnancy after Long Term TTC #5 - 2009

[TaRhLi.]

Bridget: Good luck on Thursday, I think all of us had some trepidation about that first scan as until we can see something it just doesn't seem real. But I have every faith that you have a good strong one stuck in for the long haul and that everything will be fine for you. Oh and the stress and worry doesn't get any better the further along you go...just a heads up for you.

Thought I would add a nice little note today... Last night we took our 34 week belly photo and I thought I might just measure around my belly to see how big it actually is.... I know I feel and look big but the reality has hit... My belly measured 119cm round and I am only 164cm tall, so basically my belly measurement is 3/4 of my height. It all makes sense now why my back is starting to get really sore... and with 4 more weeks left to go how much bigger is is going to get.

Hi all just thought I would let you know I am still around. Struggling a bit with ms and my other problem. Brace is not helping all that much and they threated me with a walking frame last week. Back off to the physio today so we will see how it all goes. Just trying to make the year out at work. To be honest I/ think I am better at work than at home. I finish work at 31 weeks so heres fingers crossed that I make it till than. All recovered from hossy but morning sickness is still bad. Dog did a big I mean huge poo on the tiles.(she is very old and we dont know how much longer she will be around.) I had to get DH to come home from work and clean it up because it kept making me sick. I even used a whole can a air freshner trying to get close enough to clean it up. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Ladies, thought I can join this this thread now, as we have our confirmed bfp!

4 weeks 4 days today!

I am super paranoid that it wont stick around - its taken us so long to get here. Anyone else like that?

Hi Krikkit. Since I seem to be the only one up at 4a.m (damn indigestion), let me be the first to congratulate you!! Congratulations on your BFP and I think at one time we all feel like you are feeling now and I guess that's because we know that nothing is ever certain, especially after what it has taken to get here. Take heart though, it's rough and the first weeks are very scary while we wait for the little buggers to stick, but it does happen and all of us in here are living proof. What you are going through is perfectly normal but it gets better

Saph, you sure are doing it tough. I hope there is some relief in store for you soon.

Smithy, are you sure you want to go with Charlie for your baby's name? My Charlie (butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, she's so cute-spoodle) relapsed into her old anxious ways and on Mum's first night with us, she gathered all Mum's belongings, high heel shoes, stockings and expensive Oroton sunnies as well as breaking into the food cupboard. Oh gawwwd!!! Too much excitement for one little dog...too much expense, I now feel I have to replace the damn sunnies!

KellyD, you are leaps and bounds ahead of me although at one stage I thought I nearly caught you. Jazzy still has heaps of room to move and yep I'm now feeling those kind of unpleasant moves you warned me about. Lately she has been moving the furniture every night and I wake up very lop sided and odd looking! At last check last week I was told she was breech, so we have to wait for her to get into position or else try some interventions (chinese medicine style).

Hands up who has now gone and measured their bellies after Kelly did it?? well I just did...not quite the impressive girth to height ratio as yours though Kel I'm 100 round the belly and 171cm tall (blonde and like walks along the beach..remember Grub, if you're still wanting to date me!) It's a cute mental picture of you though Kelly, your DH must be stoked...so damn preggas!

Hey Azz, hope you got some good news yesterday and hope you are traveling well.

Hi to everyone else and keep those tummies rising.xoxo

i did too lol. I'm 170cm tall and my belly is 111cm lol. so kelly d you have it all over me as well. lol murph, i'd forgotten bout that. i'm a dag, no doubt about it maybe a walk along one of the beaches at cape trib... glass of wine? ooohh no a beer at ellis beach pub watching the sunset... sorry your dh, she's mine! oh bugger, what will we do with the kids? lol.

kriskitt i posted in your ''how long does it take'' and am so glad you've popped in. like murph said, the worry of the first 12 (really 8 tho) weeks is horrid. the best advice i have is to enjoy what you have and live for today. try not to get bogged down in worry and stress as it won't do you or bub any good. Plus you can't control the outcome so may as well be happy for the next few weeks rather than stressy! And like someone mentioned just before - the first trimester worry is only the start of the various concerns you are going to have... it never ends!

Only one more sleep SMithy!!!! can't wait to log on tomorrow and and hear! that'll be hilarious if it is a 'bagina' lol.

hi saph - i'm really sorry but i did giggle at your dog poo story. I have a really sensitive tummy (preg or not) and can't touch dog vomit or even hear anyone else be sick (sympathy spewing is nasty!). so i completely understand where you are coming from. And you are under my orders as well to take care of yourslf and your back! does swimming or anything like that help?

my back is killing me atm - sciatica (sp) still playing up. but went for a swim this morn so will see how it goes. think i'll have to do a daily swim to help control the pain. doesn't help i''m mostly desk bound at work bbrrrhhh
