Yes it does all work out in the end.. I wouldnt have a good story if it had never happened
Try not to stress too much at this point (i know, easier said than done) Me and DH did the same thing with this one, especially afetr loseing 2 bubs it makes it really hard to trust things are ok.. but as you said.. you may only be 6 weeks and thats perfectly normal for them not to find a hb just yet give it another week b4 you start to wry yourself too much.. I really hope it works out fine
i highly recommend sugar free super cold Solo, lemon squash, and for emergencies, crystallised ginger if you are really quesey (get it at a health food shop). Does the trick immediately for me. I have to say the only day last week where I wasn'tfull of MS (or all day sickness) was a day I had very hot dhal makhani curry for lunch and red thai curry for dinner, so I'm not sure about the rule about avoiding spicy stuff!
I have been lurking but not posting due to time constraints. So much has happened so I will just comment on the last page or so.
Airline - I am sorry to hear that your scan didn't go quiet to plan. So glad to hear that the results of your BT were good and fingers crossed your little one catches up quickly.
Bella - Good luck. Looking forward to hearing your news.
Grub - not long till DH is home. I hope you are enjoying counting down those final days.
Smithy - hope your hormones have settled down and you are felling less teary.
Greenslw - I agree with the other ladies. It is a bit rich that the MIL asked you to pay half her flight. Surely she should understand that you have a lot of expenses with the baby. My in-laws live interstate too. They certainly won't be welcome to stay for at least 2 weeks. I really want DH, I & the bub to have our special time at first.
Kyra - I am still quiet new here myself but welcome. Good luck with the house hunting, although I don't envy you having to move and unpack while pregnant. Sounds like you had an emotional and draining evening. It sounds like you and DH handled it as best you could under the circumstances.
LM - there is nothing more beautiful than having a new born baby sleep in your arms. Glad to hear that DH saw that beauty.
AFM - we had our first scan at 7w3d last week. The baby was spot on for size and the heartbeat was 157. It was quiet an amazing experience. We have been trying to get pregnant for so long it is still hard to believe we are here and finally getting to experience it all. DH was very sweet and so excited to see the heartbeat. He said he can't wait till the next US. Luckily I am still not really having many symptoms. I feel a little nauseous at times but MS has remained at bay. We have told a few family members and close friends we are expecting and I am bursting to tell the rest of the world. We have agreed to wait till 10 weeks and will then start telling people through December when we attend Christmas parties and things.
hi kyrawolfe - haven't welcomed you to the forum yet! I smiled when you said you and DH had big time snuggles and DS was dancing...
lm - i think there's ticker ''issues''. hope you are well.
airline - i was quesy from 6 to 14 weeks and the only thing that helped me was blackmores morning sick tablets. DH made some ginger and lemon tea for me too, that helped, I never actually threw up, just had really bad nausea.
greenslw - good for putting you and squeak first. and DF sounds like he's getting on the band wagon too... but you know what blokes are like ... bit slow n all. lol. DH and I had a blow up yelling fight a few months ago when his parrot wouldn't stop screaming and it drove me nuts, i asked him repeatedly to shut her up and he just ignored me... so i absooutely irrationally blew my top. anyhoo, it all ended with me in the bedroom ballng my eyes out and DH condescendingly telling me "i should have know better with all your hormones'' lol. Didn't have the energy to be mad at THAT comment, he was trying. MEN!
Hi smithy!
murph - i was going to make a crass crack about those knockers... but played nice (i must have been feeling unwell) lol.
AFM had doc appointment today. bub is engaged and definitely pressing down as i feel very different and am getting quite a few twinges. So hopefully this is all binding well for an early Dec arrival... as soon as his daddy steps through the door. Feel very tired but laid down and sleep wouldn't come... fortunately i got MORE kids paint-by-numbers canvases lol... so that's 10 now! hheehheee. poor DH will come home to a house covered in poorly painted children's art. lol. But hey, it keeps me occupied!
must go.. have a sooky furbaby requiring cuddles (on the lounge too boot, don't tell DH). Home in 9 days!!!! Someone mentioned their labrador furbaby getting a tick - is she feeling better??? (sorry can't remember who it was, had a look but couldn't find it again)... The best thing for paralysis ticks is dip... don't touch the tick, just put a few dabs of the dip on the tick and let it die. It'll shrivel up, dry out and will just pull off really easily.
MIFT !!! what a lovely christmas gift to give your family and friends!. and congrats on the scan! But don't bother trying to 'get used to it' cos it won't happen. lol. I'm the size of the house and am STILL only half convinced a real baby is coming out and i just haven't been hitting the snikers too hard.

mitf - how lovely to hear from you. We're planning on doing the same thing. We'll have to do a lot of our "telling" on skype and the telephone. DH and I are running a book on who squarks the loudest and who cries the most.
Told my colleague today and she got tears in her eyes which of course nearly set me off... I only told her because she's sat right next to me and was about to light up!
Just popping in to see how you are all going, and more newbies to fill up the spaces vacated by us recent mummies... How exciting.
Just wanted to recommend a good book for you all, especially our first time mummies to be. It is called the "Wonder Weeks" and is available via the Belly Belly store, I had a shocking week with Tara last week being very clingy, whingy and not wanting to sleep and was recommended this book by one of the mum's in the parents forum. It arrived today and it described perfectly what Tara was going through, it is all to do with the mental development stages our babies go through at certain ages (with the first one being 5 weeks). I just wish I had it before she arrived so then I would have been prepared and not thinking I was doing something wrong or going crazy with the crying.
So at the next change at 8 weeks, I'll now be prepared for what to expect instead of running blind.
Hope you all all cooking along nicely and it seems that Grub may be joining the mummy club soon (although keep those legs crossed until DH gets home)....
thanks kellyd - i bought a baby sleep book on impulse from big dub and after i paid $40 and got home did i realise it only deals with babies older than 6 months. and lol... i think bella is next... hmmm actually where is bella?
LM - that is lovely. i like that you are taking special note of reactions. i can't remember what DH's parents said/did but i remember one of my dad's first comments was "i'll have to buy another fishing rod for him''! and my mum fell off her treadmill lol .. probably should have waited til she stopped. My brother said "good one grub" lol - for the record, yes my family actually call me grub... and even worse i answer to it.
KELLYD AND MY LITTLE GRUB 9 SlEEPS LEFT SWEETY have good cuddles on the lounge psssst i wont tell dh lol..
AIRLINE.big hugs sweety hang in there hope you got your scan.
MITF.thanks for thinking of me darlin a big hello.
LM. i just put your little msg about your ticker in the ticker thread hope thats ok here is the link if anyone else is having probs its actually starting to crap me off pmsl i have been changing it every day . https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ml#post2068845
thanks for the tips LM. I opened the crystalised ginger in Woolies on my way round...couldn't wait!
mitf - good to see/read you again! How exciting for you and DH, seeing your sooo desired little one. I can understand why you're bursting to share your fantastic news m'dear.
grub- thanks for the tick tip...that was my furbaby who had one. luckily she's shorthaired and we spotted it quickly. ooh it's all getting close for you !!!! how exciting!
smithy - thank you all hugs received gratefully.
afm - well FS did another transvag. scan and he and DH spent ages trying to determine if a. they could see a pole b. something was pulsating the longer I lay there...the worse I felt, but kept it under wraps. FS said, I prefer to see what nature has in store, so I had another hcg today, results tom. and we have to wait till the 9th Dec for our next scan DH is really disappointed... as am I. we just wanted to 'enjoy it like normal people, not IVFers who've already been for 50 BTs and been invaded by so many people I've lost count.
Sorry girls, lost it there for a minute. Anyway...the ginger seems to have worked and the nausea has gone....almost wish it hadn't, cos it was a positive sign (can't please some folk hey!)
Right gonna go and chill out, go to bed as usual between 8.30 and 9pm. Sleep well ladies. x
