Hi lovelies,
well C-Day tomorrow and I will go into lock-down mode this afternoon where I switch everything off and wind down for my zen birth experience Deep breaths. Tonight we're booked into a motel next door to the hospi on the esplanade and we have to rock up at 6.30a.m even though I'm not up til about 11. Mmm, 12 hours of ice chips, gotta love that. Kelly, yet another good idea the tri pillow. Better get that on the list. Another tip form a girlfriend is look after your bowels or you feel like you are passing watermelons. Well I'm telling family to come bearing prune juice, not flowers!
I'll warn you that my computer has packed it in and I am relying on getting access to DHs every now and then but I hate using it in case I give it a virus or something cos it has 4 years of his PhD work due in January It's backed up but still, I would die if I lost anything. As for me, I've blown another mother board but this time I was backed up too so didn't lose everything (again). I'm also rambling and had another sleepless night. Soooo, my point is I may not get to tell yo my news for a bit, but there's not much you don't know except size and health..kinda important I know, so I will let you know as soon as possible.
Thank you all so much and I'm feeling a whole stack of love for you all and from you all
if I'd have known earlier you were having computer probs I would hve offered to be your P.I.G. but anyway, take your time, we'll be here and waiting for your good news hun
Wishing and hoping and praying everything goes smoothly for you

Tell your DH good luck as well! He's got the tough part of standing by and watching your op and healing - oxoxo
I finally achieved that elusive BFP and thought I might pop in and introduce myself.
We received confirmation on Monday that out 1 little FET miracle decided to stick. It seems that I have been dreaming about being pregnant for so long and now that I am, I don't quiet know what to do with myself. Their is so much to take in and I definitely have a lot of reading to do. I am trying to get my head around what I can and can't eat at the moment. The biggest struggle is definitely lunch... vegetarian sandwiches are going to get boring.
There are a few familiar names in here and I am sure I will get to know the rest of you shortly.
hi mift!! CONGRATULATIONS lovely and welcome to the thread.
I've only got 7 weeks til bub arrives and i STILL don't believe i'm UTD lol. so don't worry about the whole thing feeling strange and surreal - i think that's pretty normal.
for me it really became 'real' about week 14 after the 12 week scan and into the 2nd trimester. when are your scan dates? do you have a due date yet?
i hope you find this thread as lovely and supportive as i have. these girls rock!
hey poppyfairy - where are you? i haven't read a post from you for a while.
seph - gald you are feeling better with the tabs love. the fatigue is something i've really battled the entire time. i only got about 6 weeks in the 2nd trimester wehre i felt relatively normal, it really sucks hey!
hi greenslwe, saph, miss tania, boc, sammiejam, bella, bdt, smithy, lise and all the other mummies-in-waiting.
afm: home today but am about to head into the obs. we'll discuss last week's scan. made Dh's chrissy pressie! it looks good. i hope he likes it (i made him a recipe book, he had all his 'invention' cakes/muffins on scraps of paper shoved into the book cupboard lol).
work held a little farewell mornign tea for me yesterday - they all threw in and got be a $75 vucher for a day spa! sooo excited. i'll be using that next week! lol. and they had a lovely card too... all going out for dinner on friday, i feel spesh.
grub - thanks for the welcome. It is definitely still feeling quiet surreal. I don't really have any symptoms besides occasional sore boobs and tummy twinges so don't really feel pregnant yet. I don't have definite dates for scans, although my clinic said I will have a scan in about 2 weeks to check the hear beat. Then 12 weeks will be just before Christmas and due date is 5 July at this stage.
7 weeks to go..... I am sure that will come along quickly and make for an extra special Christmas!
Saph I am so glad you are pain free don't mind the mess it will keep.
Grub thanks for the "gentle reminder" and so glad to hear a happy vibe in your post. oh enjoy the day spa, pre or post baby?
MissMagpie thank you for sharing, Goodluck for the next 8 days. I hope it is on time for you.
Sammiejam congrats on the boy
Persephone look after yourself the 1st trimester is really tiring.
Murph goodluck for tomorrow, can't wait to hear how it all goes.
Welcome Mitf congrats on BFP
ATM HOT! but love the sun, Yesterday was fantastic and agravating. I had a phone call with another manager who said "are you shore you only want 13 weeks off, you may have some mothering feelings after all" OMG are we back in the 50's or what!
My assistant just patted me on the back and smiled which was really nice. Also my staff are planning a 'secret' baby shower for me so nice, My assistant told me but I'm playing dumb (who's kidding at the moment I am dumb).
Did some weeding yesterday and have definatly realised I can't do as much as I used to, at the gym this morning I had to tone it down around the circuit two. Nothing big just a little pain in my belly, stopped when I walked instead of jogged inbetween stations.
It's going to be 34C on monday when did summer happen in November? oh well on with the air con! to everyone
Also my staff are planning a 'secret' baby shower for me so nice, My assistant told me but I'm playing dumb (who's kidding at the moment I am dumb).
Love it! Know exactly how you feel too!
Mitf: and congratulations on your ! Feel free to ask anything whilst on your stay with us, or to have a mad rant & rave like we all do on some occasions! Wishing you a happy & healthy pg and look forward to hearing more from you as you progress.
Grub: You clever little gift-maker you. I am sooooo not creative for my DH's birthday he is having an RDO & being taken to sit at the OBs rooms for a couple of hours for our 20 week scan and then to the doctors to get two needles and then to the dentist to have some reconstruction work mwahahahahaha aren't I a doll?
hey neptune how exciting is it hun ? im like this with all of you i get so excited like i say to dh were having a baby today
hope your nipples are going ok hun, gee they hurt sometimes i use to put good old wool fat on mine terrible stuff but works well . kisses for baby adam hun xxx
Murph, thinking about you, hope all has gone well and you are blissfully happy as a new mummy. Can't wait for the news of Jazzy.
Hi everyone else, I have no time as am crazy busy getting all my work done as we leave for FIJI tomorrow morning YAY!!! Can't wait for all the exciting news when I get back.
MissMagpie, wishing you all the best for your day, can't wait to find out what you are having also.
thanks to all for the warm welcomes! I got quite comfy in my old LLTTC thread, and with so many in here I was a little overwhelmed at first wondering how i'd keep up with everyone. Although i'm only in the very early stages of pregnancy, I seem to have already developed quite the baby brain...!
grub - thanks for the advice regarding stressing out. I've certainly discovered already that i'm just going to have to let go of that one and trust everything is going okay. Enjoy your day spa voucher, sounds devine
Neptune - I hope you're having a marvellous time at home getting to know your beautiful baby - congratulations
Bella - your baby shower sounds great! Doesn't seem like there' much longer for you now - do you have a plan for an early introduction to the world for your two boys given there's two of them? From what I understand they're usually early???
Saph - wow, what a drug regime, I feel for you! I've been struggling with dreadful hayfever, but so far Polaramine seems to be doing the trick, even if it making me incredibly drowsy... I hope you find a way to fit some kind of break in, even if it's a weekend away somewhere.
BOC - thanks also for the advice! We have our first scan next week which i'm REALLY looking forward to (if only to see if there's one or two on board...!). From what I can gather, they might be able to see the heart beat even this early which would be incredible! But I think i'll be the same, and feel much relieved when I know it's all okay.
Greenslw - apologise if you've mentioned this earlier and i've missed it, but you're studying/planning on studying as well next year? I'm full of admiration! I was planning on going back to uni, but i'm not sure I could handle it (well really i'm not sure my brain would be up for it!).
Miss Magpie - I will certainly be asking many questions, i've got hundreds already!! All the very best for next week - what day are you going in?
Seph - glad you've found something to combat the MS. I don't have that one yet (touch wood) but I have been coming home from work and napping every day. DH keeps laughing at me but I just tell him i'm very busy growing a baby at the moment so to shut up!
Murph - I hope today went well and you and DH are snuggling up to your little one.
mitf - although i'm only just in here myself, welcome!!! It's an amazing feeling isn't it to be able to post in here. I'm totally with you - I spent so long thinking about getting pregnant, now that I am i'm not quite sure what to do. I have been pestering a friend who has a baby about what I can and cannot eat. Seems the easiest thing is to remember lunch every day...!
Smithy - I took a peek at your nursery photos - they look great! You must have had loads of fun putting it all together!!
Hoping some of you can answer a question for me - I had two embies transferred, and until the scan next week I won't know if I have one or two on board. Does the fact that I had no spotting or bleeding mean that both stuck? I'm not quite sure how it works if one sticks and the other doesn't, and am wondering if it would like a mini period or something??? What have other people experienced?
Hope everyone is well. I'm searcing for rental properties as we've just found out DH won a new position back in Canberra, which is where we're from. Looks like we'll be packing up a little earlier than planned...!
HI lise...with regards the two versus one thing you may get a small bleed...you may not. we conceived twins and had two embryos which could be seen at the 6 week scan but one didnt develop....it has simply reabsorbed over time and couldnt be seen at the last scan a week ago....no bleeding for us.
Hi everyone else....i am very bad at personals and keeping up with posting but try to read every day and keep up with whats happening.
A question for everyone: Swine flu vaccine....I am so in two minds about this. My ob says yes, part of me says no but part of me is worried what if I get swine flue and risk the baby.....sooo confused. i heard today of one local hospital where four women have had either late miscarriage (2 cases) or still birth (2 cases) all within a couple of days of being vaccinated...so now my head is even more confused....arrrrrgggh it is so hard not knowing what is the right thing to do!
lise thanks for thinking of me hunny and glad is all good with you ,i had an absolute ball doing charlies room its been a long time coming .
when i had my fet we have always had 2 embies put back and im only pg with 1 bubba, no bleeding or anything like that so im actually always wondering wich embie actually took guess well never know but OH YES HUN ITS SOOOOOOOOO POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BE HAVING 2 BUBBAS its happend to a lot of girls here so here are some TWIN VIBES HUN lol.cant wait to find out how exciting
Hello everyone....I am still around, doing lots of reading posts and thinking about you all but just too crazy busy (which makes a nice change!) to get around to typing replies!
Hope Murph is doing well! Excited to hear news soon I hope.
Just a quick answer to Lise. I had two transferred. I had absolutely no bleeding at all. Got to scan at seven weeks and there was only one emby and heartbeat. The other had reabsorbed. They said it happens all the time. I was positive it would be twins due to the lack of bleeding and had got myself all prepared for 'double trouble'! Oh well...
Love to all! Love reading all your posts and will get back on the posting wagon soon!
Mel - my ob said 'um, maybe/maybe not' to the swine flu vaccine.
My GP said that as a health professional she was oblidged to recommend it, but she felt that if she were pregnant, she wouldn't be keen on having it. She did say that if it were coming into winter and there were lots of recorded cases, then she might change her view, but she said not to worry about it. So I took her advice. No more jabs for me
