Just popping my head in to say Hi and I hope to get time to come in and join all you lovely ladies soon...
:goodluck: :dance: missmagpie ,best of luck for this weeks hunny ..woohoo your soon to be a mummy ..:clap:
hi dee you sweet heart happy 16 weeks my love xoxo:dance:
Smith took a peak at the nursery photos it is so exciting when everything is all set up. We have finished our nursery it is all blue and with an ocean theme. As this is boy number two and we didnt need to buy a lot DH went a bit nuts and bought all the matching stuff for the kids line calypso design. It is so cute but we already have shoved all the christmas and birthday presents in the cot. gotta store them somewhere. lol
:clap: yay saph i bet it looks beautiful sweety well done i just love the ocean so great choice hunny .
were getting there hun woohoo:dance:
ive actually been saying to dh the last couple of days i really think were having a baby this time and "he says yes babe lol" but im still in shock i think lol.
Saph: How exciting! You'll have to post some pics of your nursery! I too am doing an Under the Sea theme and have also bought most of the Kidsline Calypso range and some stickers for the walls but have absolutely no idea where to start! Give me inspiration!!! Please!!!
LMHAC: :hello:! Hope you do get time to pop on in & hope all is well with you!
mitf: YAY for awesome levels! Hope you're feeling good!
Grub: Gotta love Mums! I love it when mine comes to visit, my house is never cleaner LOL How you hanging in there?
Greenslw: I'm with you! Hoist em up! And it's great to see someone that can have a good relationship with their DSS and some time alone together to talk without interruption from others :rolleyes: I'm jealous!
Persephone: How you doing hun?
A big :bellyrub: to everyone else I missed, hope you're all doing well.
AFM: Having a bit of a shocking time at the moment. The sciatica has been giving me trouble and I'm not sleeping well. Then in the last few days some family dramas popped up, a lot of S*%t going on and to be honest I'm pretty much on the verge of cracking. And the last thing I need right now is stress and drama. But I have some great friends, one in particular who has just been my rock and keeps me distracted long enough to stop crying for a few hours. Anyway I've decided that my way of "dealing" with it is to lock the doors, switch off the phone and just go into lockdown for a few days and they can all go jump. I'm through with being everyone's punching bag. For once in my life I am putting me and my baby first.
Anyway enough of a rant from me, I will stop right there (sorry :redface:). On a better note, counting down 2 weeks & 1 day til my next scan, and I really can't wait! Hey, can anyone tell me, at this early stage, how often is bub supposed to be kicking? It seems to have quietened down in there a whole lot the last few days, I thought either it's moved into another position or maybe it was from the stress I've had? Either way I don't want to ring my OB and seem panicky if there's no reason to worry.
Have a great day guys, hope some of you get good wins this afternoon. I am SO not a gambler so it's just another non-event for me, don't even know who's running!
hi girls :)
boc - i find my bubba has busy days and quiet days. i also find if i'm super busy, i don't notice his movements as much. if you are worried, try having glass of juice or a reall cold drink, or coke or such and lay down for 20-30 mins. you should feel some movement then. sorry to hear your back is playing up... have you got youself a man-pillow??? the are really good, that and getting on all floors and just sort of moving your bum from side to side helps :)
saph - i think that's lovely our dh is so into the decorating side o things. the upside of my dh going away is i can get in and decorate. he's a bit of a stick in the mud like that and can't understand why i want matching stuff etc. we have gone barnyard themed, which can be used for a 2nd child if we are lucky enough in a few years' time.
hi smithy - feeling any better these days?
lilmisshavachat - looking forward to hearing from you soon.
mitf - those numbers look really good sweetie! you must have been relieved.
poppyfairy - that is a very good point re swine flu numbers! and i really liked what you said saph - if it ain't safe for a 3yr old, why would it be safe for my bubba via me?
how are you greenslw? lise? miss tania? seph? bdt? bella? lenny? melbel? and the girl's i've missed mentioning (sorry lovelies).
AFM - mum has gone now but yep i was spoilt. loved having dinner cooked every night and there's nothing like mum's cooking :) she also bough bluey his barnyard-themed cot set etc. I'm just buying a few extra matching pieces, should look good ;)
also put her to work doing cleaning lol and went to lunch and such. it was so nice actually! i am now awaiting the arrival of my sister thursday week. so just over a week alone again but i am booking in for a breastfeeding classs at our hospy and have pilates on sat and doc appointment etc. also have a good book just started and need to sort out chrissy pressies. so it'll all go pretty quick.
its 37C here atm :( i'm hiding insde with fans and the a/c (and the fur baby). but did go for a swim this morning - divine! feels sssoooo goooodddd. Also got the tripod out and tried to do some arty farty black and white naked preggy pics. a couple turned out okay, and it killed an hour of my time!
am thinking about murphy - any news yet???
ox
Happy Melbourne cup day everyone!!!!!!
BOC - Ithink you are doing the right thing - putting you and bubs first - we have all worked so hard for this dream so don't feel guilty about looking after number 1. We don't need extra stress as this journey is enough! Take care sweet.
Smithy - the nursery looks great!
Saph - sorry to hear your still struggling with pain - it will be nice to have a focus date!
Grub - hope your enjoying time with your mum and coping ok without DH xxxxx
Mitf - great numbers :clap::clap: Take care i'm sure more symptoms arn't to far off!!!
Big hello and lots of belly rubs to everyone.
AFM - rotating between days where i can't get out of bed i'm so tired i want to sleep all day and days like today where i have all the energy in the world and can't help but to nest and do crazy things like what iv'e just done - i have just moved all the couchs (i know i know i shouldn't) and cleaned behind them and rearranged the lounge room :rolleyes::rolleyes: I'm insane really! I am really ready for these bubs to arrive! I'm getting very frustrated and bored and have lots of symptoms that io read into being more than i think they are! Anyway scan tom then appt Friday will keep you all posted.
xxxxBella

Neptune: He is too cute and such a big boy and his blonde fuzz is fantastic. Both DH & I are fair haired and Tara has a mop of dark hair, it seems you and your DH have darker hair and Adam is fair. Just goes to show that you can't pick what they will come out like.
I didn't know you could link Facebook photo's, so here's photo's of Tara at birth

I'm still checking up on you all and can't wait to here Murph's news and Miss M good luck for tomorrow I'm busting to find out if it is pink or blue for you.
Oh kelly, She is beautiful!!!
neptune! oh you made me want my little man now! lol. very gorgeous... i like the 'he peed on me 'face you are pulling and your DH having a snuggle :)
kelly d - was having trouble opening your pages, but will look again soon, hope it'll play the game ;)
hey bella - i'm a bit like that too. i think i pay for my busy day the next day and need lots of sleep! it's frustrating lol. are you sleeping okay? good luck for friday.

Happy Cup Day..
Allright... I'm going to give the ole persies ago and sorry in advance if I miss anyone..
Lise - Congrats on your BFP.. I hpoe you have a h&h 9 months.. Enjoy it because mine is flying by...
Mitf - Great numbers... Try not to worry too much about symptoms as all I have had is the extreme exhaustion in the first Trimester.. not sick or anything (Please don't hate me everybody)
Congratulations KellyD and Neptune on your gorgeous babies.. how exciting for you..
Smithy - I can't believe you are still so sick Hun... I loved the nursery.. I love butterflys and even have a Tat of one on my "Lower Back".. You have done an awsome job especially being so sick and all...
Grub17 - I hope that you are doing ok with Hubby away.. Sounds like your Mum has been a good distraction and your Sister coming sounds good too... Yum.. Lamb Shanks.. my favourite..
BOC - Big hugs Hun for the Cr@p that you have been going through lately.. I've had a fair bit of stress too and have been worried about it's efffect on Lil Kracker so i bought some Dove body wash and when I have a shower I massage my belly and sing.. My fave is Single ladies at the moment.. DH thinks i'm nuts.. it certainly calms me a little..
Bella55 - You super woman for cleaning behind the couches, You're doing sucha fantastic job keeping your little ones safe but I can only imagine how tiring it much be to have the two bubs to carry around..
Poppyfairy and Saph204 - I will flat out refuse the swine flu vac as there is no way we can know what effect this will have on our unborn chidlers.. We spend so much of PG avoiding food and chemical dangers to our babies and are then asked to inject a foreign body into our bloodstream.. no thanks.. I guess for most of us we will have had our babies before the next flu season rolls around too... saph204.. I hope ypu get some pain relief soon and you can be alittle more comfortable...
Greensl - lol about you skirt... My clothes are already starting to drive me nuts...
Persephone1 - Hi Hun.. I hope that the MS is not hitting you too hard.. take care of you both...
AFM - I have my first appointment at the Gold Coast Birth Centre tomorrow.. I get to meet my midwife and ask heaps of questions... I am so excited... I'm an info horder and I have run out of general info to reasearch and now need a more focused approach with specifics as to what i'm in for and what their policies are (sorry.. I'm a little full on when it comes to how I am planning to birth Lil Kracker).. And I have my next scan on the 23rd of this month and we will find out what colour bundle i'm carrying... Woohoo...
I hope everyone is well and I hope to be able to keep up from here on in... (Sorry if I missed anyone...):redface:
Hi girls,
Just a quick one from me as it is SUPER LATE....oops :redface:
Have been flat out trying to get last minute things organised before bubs arrival and tonight we found a brochure that the hospital gave us months ago about cord blood banking so made some last minute enquiries about it and we are now going to try to organise it for tomorrow's delivery! Its for stem cells for bubs just in case it may need it down the track. I wish we had of found the brochure earlier as we now need to call them at 8am to see if we can get it done, then we have to somehow sign a contract, pay for it, contact the OB to let him know we are doing it and all this before delivery at 1.30pm!
OMG!!! ANT we still havent chosen a boys name either....DOH!
Its also nearly 2am and I have to be up at 7am to eat before 7.30am as that is the cut off before I have to start fasting! How did I get myself in this predicament, LOL
I wont have internet access at the hospital unfortunately so you will all have to wait to hear my news when I come home which Im HOPING will be next Monday, otherwise Tuesday.
Take care girls and belly rubs to all :D
Tania
:dance: oh mm wishing you all the best hun i hope its wonderful for you .
kelly and neptune ill have a look at your pics as soon as one of my girls can sign me into fb as i dont have it lol. but cant wait to see .
afm going good had my blood sugar checked yesterday as i couldnt stand up with out fainting or having to sit on the floor :shakehead: so had the needle in the finger and its 8.5 should be around the 5 mark :rolleyes: so am very interested to have this glucose test friday to maybe see if ive got gd what do you all think as i dont understand all this stuff ?
Goodluck MissMagpie
Not long now... At least all the running around will keep you occupied until the birth... Maybe that will be a good thing... Looking forward to hearing about the birth... :dance:
Smithy 8.5 seems a tad high for random test but I need to know the full context to make a better judgement. i.e. when had you last eaten and what had you eaten type thing.
The GD test itself is very unreliable and shows alot of false positives IMO providing unecessary stress and angst to a lot of pregnant women. You would get a much more accurate diagnosis if you were able to do home blood glucose monitoring (finger stick tests) say four times a day 2 hours after meals and one fasting one first thing in the morning. if you did this for a week you would have a much more acurate picture of whether GD is likely. A one off random glucose like you did could happen to anyone diabetic or not.
Hope that makes sense....also a level of about 5 would be an expected fasting level not after food.
;)hey mel thanks for the reply hun,
i had actually just had a lemonade water icy pole and and was just a randon test i was a bit in shock but you have already made me feel better hun thanks
good luck miss mapgie !!!! thinking of you. oxox
Thinking of you Miss Magpie!!! :goodluck:
Harry High Pants... ahem I mean Smithy ;): I agree with MelBel, a one off test doesn't really give an accurate idea, I reckon go for the week's testing. Can you hire those monitors? Aren't the GD tests just grand? I had to have them done for IVF & they had to do it twice cause first time the bozos forgot to record my insulin levels :wall:
lilmisshaveachat: Hope your appointment with the birth centre went well. And I agree, some pampering is well overdue! First on my list of people to call this afternoon is my friend (who is a masseuse) for a well-overdue preggy massage! How did you go on the cup yesterday?
Grub: How you hanging in there hun?
KellyD: Tara is gorgeous! And doesn't she look just like her daddy!
Neptune: Adam is such a cutie too! How are you settling in?
Bella: Feeling for you hun, one is hard enough but two... wow you really are a superwoman!
AFM: No wins on the cup but then I never gamble anyway. Wasn't even going to watch the race but DH came home early and switched the TV over.
Had a bit of a scare today. As you know I've been having some troubles and been pretty stressed out lately. And Cookie wasn't kicking the same way as normal. Well since Monday night I have had absolutely no kicks at all. I was trying not to worry about it and gave myself a couple of days, but then early this morning I started getting excruciating cramping pains and it really freaked me out. So I rang my Ob's office and just my luck, she is on leave. So they gave me the number of the other Ob who is covering her and he said to get my butt up to the hospital IMMEDIATELY (yep he actually said that!). It's about a 35/40min drive and was just horrible. So I got in there and they checked me over & then hooked me up to a monitor and checked little cookie out. Everything is ok with baby, although my heart rate and my blood pressure are up a little. They then asked me if something was going on to cause this and I briefly explained and was given strict orders to avoid the people and situations causing me stress becasue I may not be so lucky next time! They wanted to book a follow up in a couple of weeks but I told them I have my next scan & Ob checkup in 2 weeks anyway so they left it at that and wrote it up on my record for my Ob when she gets back. Pheeeeew just glad all is ok and it's all over!
And the replacement obstetrician has now called me back twice more this afternoon just to check that I am still ok and not having any further complications.
After all of this I must say everyone I dealt with today has just been wonderful, and it really reassures me that I've picked the right care!
On the way home I stopped off and picked myself up a doppler, so that in future I can get quicker reassurance. It will be great for DH too, he's seen the heartbeat on the screen at my 7 & 12wk scans but has never heard it (they only turned the volume up at the 10 & 14wks and he wasn't there for those)
Anyway hope you all have a good night, I'm off to fuse my behind to the lounge, OJ in hand and knock over a few more episodes of season 7 BH90210! (Yes, sad I know!)
Oh and PS: Now that Murph is more than likely a Mummy :loveshower: I've offered to take over the due dates list. To our lovely new ladies: If you could please post or PM me your due dates, any nicknames your little bub has and whether or not you will be finding out the sex and I'll add you to the list. Anyone who needs changes done please also do the same.
PPS: Anyone else having trouble with their tickers? Mine seems to have somehow lost a couple of days... did that once before but then righted itself... hmmmm
Hey Boc - No win in the sweeps this year which is all I managed to put on... I just wanted to let you know that my little ones nickname is lil Kracker, my EDD is 17th April and we will be checking out it's goodies on the 23rd to make sure we're having a human and whether it's a boy or a girl..lol...
I am so happy with my choice of care.. I had my appointment today at the birth centre and I was so overwhelmed and happy that I started to mist up a little.. Stupid hormones.. My midwife is wonderful and I really like the model of care they have... My midwife visits me at home every day for a week after the birth and then a couple of times a week until 6 weeks.. I was quite impressed by all of this...
Anyway just a quick Hi to everyones as i'm off to pour over my freebies in my bounty bag from my appointment.. It's kind've like a show bag.. Pretty cool...
Smithy Harry High Pants :lol: love it.
Grub: no hips here so low riders feel a little unsecure. Glad your mum is spoiling you.
MIF your numbers sound good, I didn't have many symptoms at first either. Tired was there from the beginning too.
Saph, sorry your boss is being a pain, you need time off or you'll go on leave early! I'd threaten!
Lilmisshavachat Hi I started wearing maternity cloths at 22 weeks probably a couple of weeks later than I should have, feel so much better, although there are definatly more comfortable cloths than others!@ how did your appointment go?
BOC baby's movement at 17ish weeks was only when I was still (i didn't notice the rest of the time) few little flutters during a meeting and more at night. Then it seams to get more regular around 20 weeks, Well until 28 weeks then it's non stop for me atm. hope family c**p settles down, you don't need it. Re Post 2: glad cookie is ok :hug: you need a bit of support without the stess. What are you doing for you? for me, I get a nice decafe coffee, paint, go in my garden, or sneek out of work early ( I know not everyone can do that).
Bella how did you scan go? goodluck for tomorrow.
MissMagpie oh you sound so pumpt, hope your pre 7.30 brecky was great. Goodluck :D
ATM little flat, feeling hungrey and don't know what I want for lunch. hehehe. Work is ok, was called in monday :( but it turned out to be a very productive day.
Saturday is my big video taped 2 hour lecture for tafe, little nervous but looking forward to it being over.
OB today and a blood test for sugar levels etc. Fingers crossed.
Squeak is doing so much working out lately, it's been non stop for 2 days (well not really) when I turn in bed, when I sit at the pc for a while when I sit on the couch, whenever I'm still Squeak is on the move. Funny we had a bit of a paturn for a couple of weeks, 730-9am 4.30-5pm and when I was in bed, Squeak likes to kick DF in the back too, gota love it.
Still don't want to know the gender but really can't wait to find out, not long now, oh 9 weeks of work to go (and two days) :leap:
woo hoo for 9 weeks of work left greenslw! and lol for kicking DF, good bubby lol. Bluey is kicking up a storm since i had lunch, i think he particularly likes the baked new york cheesecake and cup of tea i'm currently consuming. i'd say oops, but i've given up trying to fight the weight, it's too exhausting.
lilmisshavachat - what a great thing to be able to say - i'm happy with my choices! i'm sure choosing the right care has such a major impact on our overall birth experience.
BOC!!! take it easy woman! that is an order from me!!!! i suspect we are going through the same obst in newcastle lol. wouldn't that be a small world! but seriously, do take care of yourself sweetie - the most important thing atm is your and your baby's health. sounds like you may have to 'cut' your family out for now. I would get DH to ring the main offenders and give them a terrible guilt trip about their behaviour and its impact on others more than themselves. bbrrh i feel so cranky on your behalf! have you tried some relaxation stuff? meditation? soft music? bath? etc ox
afm - i'm going okay. it's been very quiet since mum left on tuesday but i just started a new book series so just trying to wind down from work. it's really difficult, and i'm sure it'll take a few weeks to fully realise ''holy sheeeet!!! i don't have to go to work for at least a year, probably more". lol. But i must admit I put in an admirable effort today - went to the baby shop and got some drapes to match my barnyard theme - even better they were 20% off! and then went to a yummy little cafe for lunch. Me, the newspaper,a chai and a yummy chicken noodle salad - aaahhhh life is good lol. (sorry to all the girls still working or with little ones keeping them super busy... don't mean to rub it in... very much lol)
4 weeks til DH comes home (i counted today lol) :dance: he's doing really well, so i'm super proud. but he's worrying about me so i'm trying not to tell him how lonely i am sometimes. but seriously, i'm trying to treasure this quiet time to myself, i know it won't come again for a very long time.
ROFL - fur baby has just ''interogated'' me, the keyboard, and the lounge for evidence of cheesecake. it tickles heeheehee
hope every is having a good week.
Thankyou ladies!
Oooh Grub wouldn't it be funny if we were going to the same Ob? We might have even "met" in the waiting room! We will have to chat about this some more.
Thank you for all your lovely kind words. I am feeling so much better today. I made myself sleep in til 9am :) as I wasn't starting til 10:30 today. My manager is the most beautiful, lovely woman and gave me a mini-lecture about not overdoing it and looking after me & Cookie. I'm really looking forward to my next shift tomorrow cause they are all such lovely people to be around.
The family situation kinda looks like it's looking up, one of the people that's been giving me a hard time (the one from my side) actually rang me this morning to apologise, said she didn't realise the impact she was having. I'm really happy about it as we've never really fought before and it really cut me that we weren't speaking. As for the other side, well I don't think anything will ever change there. Although DH sees the light now, he is still going to be involved in their lives which is great, but he's accepted that I'm stepping back and keeping clear of them for a while. It's only fair, I don't need any more hassles and I won't be held responsible for theirs (they have recently found out they are preg too). I just hope they have the common sense & maturity to not drag it all through the mud and involve other family members.
Anyway I had some more stuff to say but baby brain seems to have got the better of me yet again! :lol: Oh and I just booked my birthday present, which will then become DH's Christmas surprise and I am so excited I am wiggling! :hooray: But I have to wait for 3 weeks til it happens and I think it will be the longest 3 weeks ever...
So over & out for now, I'm off back up to the hospital again, but not for me this time, one of my besties (who is 6 weeks preg ahead of me) ended up in hospital just hours after me yesterday and is still there with complications from unknown causes. Really worrying as this is the 4th time she's been to hossy. :crossfingers: that everything is ok for her.
Have a great afternoon guys!
Hello ladies,
feels like it's been ages since i've posted, though I have been keeping up with what everyone is doing. I wanted to wait till after our 6 week scan so I would actually have something to write - one very strong heart beat right where it should be, so i'm so so relieved!! DH is a tinsy bit upset it's not twins (we had 2 embies transferred) but I must say I was just so relieved when FS said it was in the right spot that I didn't particularly care if it was one or two.
BOC - The Chicklet is due 28 June, and at this stage we haven't decided if we're going to find out the sex or not. What have others done? I notice a fair number of tickers with names etc...
Greenslw - you sound like a wonder woman! I hope that you take time out to look after yourself in between working/studying...!
Smithy - i've got images of you walking around all day with your pants up around your boobs - :lol:
grub - don't you just love how mum's look after you? Nothing beats a mum cooked meal. Glad you had a good time with her and enjoyed some pampering, and have fun with your sister next week! Where is DH? Does he travel often?
saph - hope you're feeling a bit better :hug:
BOC - glad the family dramas have sorted themselves out somewhat, it's the last thing you need to be dealing with now! I think your solution of locking yourself away and thinking of yourself and bub is a great strategy and I hope you continue to utilise it even if things have calmed down a bit.
Bella - all this cleaning etc., are you nesting?! How did your scan go today?
lilmisshavachat - glad to know that the 9 months goes quickly as it feels like it's CRAWLING at the moment!
MissMagpie - hope everything went well!!!!!!
A big hello to everyone else, hope you're all travelling along nicely. DH is at a conference dinner tonight so although i'm supposed to be studying up for a job interview tomorrow I think i'm going to snuggle on the couch and watch some BBC Pride & Prejudice. Or if i'm honest, stare at the scan photo all night with a big smile on my face ;)
:hooray: lise! what fantastic news! i watched P&P last weekend lol. enjoyed it very muchly despite the fact i've seen it a million times. i always feel all romantic after watching it!
i'm glad your HB was good, even if there was just the one!
to answer your question - my DH is in the defence force and was sent away for an 8week training course, due home 10 days before bub is due! eeek. we don't live near any family or friends and i've just started mat leave - so its.... ummm... an interesting time! but all is well, just a bit lonely :) and why you'll probably find me on here... a lot lol.
as for gender/names ... the majority of girls have decided to find out the sex. some choose the name and share, others (like me) just give our bub a nickname (bluey or grubby bub is our bub's name for now lol). It's completely up to you what you do - you won't get any pressure here to reveal name/gender etc and you'll get heaps of support if you choose to share.
my DH really wanted to find out... he felt it was giving him some control over something in our journey for a child. i would have been happy to not find out, but unfortunately I just "knew" from about 6 weeks that it was a boy. the scan just really confirmed it, but i was 100% certain it was a boy (mother's instinct lol). am glad we know tho, as i've been able to really buy plenty of stuff ;)

Hello all you lovely girls,
I'm back to do this wee little post and my sincerest apologies if I have missed anyone's amazing news or heartbreak. I haven't read anything yet but I will. I have forgotten how to do anything but be absolutely mind-blowingly in love and blissed out.
Our little tiny girl was born weighing in at 2.44kg (5.5 pounds)and is now trying to get back up to 2.3 kilos after her initial loss. I'm sorry to say that we had a very traumatic and scary birth experience. I won't be posting a birth story as it's all a bit raw at this stage, but we are through it and out the other side and on our way to complete recovery and happiness. I kick myself that I didn't go private and didn't get those scans I so desperately wanted as Jasmine was born with the cord wrapped around her neck three times! My uterus was also the wrong shape and my placenta not functioning. so if in doubt, my advice, is check it out. Trust your instincts.
anyway, we are out of danger and home now just loving life. I had to fight my way out of hospital, only to be released to one closer to home and then still have to report in her growth progress to the clinic but it is fantastic. I never could have believed that you could enjoy every poo, every wee and every breath. I'm going now....or you know there will be tears. Love to you all,
Ange. xoxox

Murph sorry to hear the experience wasn't great hope you find some time to try to process it over the coming months and remember we are all here to listen! xx
BOC - well done on the list!
GRUB - it's weird and scary and exciting to see us move our way to the top hey!!!
Hello to everyone else - sorry i don't have time nor am i really in the right mind for personnals right now but remember i'm always thinking of each of you!
Well i had my scan on Wednesday which was done by a doctor who didn't really give much away (so annoying!) but the diff in growth between my boys was more it's now 500g given that ive now reached 34weeks and from what i have read and know i was thinking this may be a sign it's time to get the bubs out and fatten them on the outside so i went home quite anxious to wait for my clinic appt which was Friday.
Well i'm very very hormonal, uncomfortable and very very over it all - i want them out (irrational i know and i feel guilty) my feet and hands are swelling more and i have begun to get very anxious that something bab might happen to my little one (again irrational but these things happen) and i had my ideas of how my appt would go - boy was i wrong (being a nurse i'm not always the best patient).
The doctor i saw has only seen me once before and i'm not a huge fan!! He dismissed any issues with the growth discrepancy infact was dissmissive about most of my fears and questions he then said see you in 2 weeks - what the????????????
Firstly i thought i went to weekly visits from 34weeks second i thought they were inducing me at 36weeks (which is in 2 weeks and with the way i'm feeling i thought it would be to the day?) and third i'm not happy going 2 weeks without monitoring given my little one hasn't gained much weight.
I did however go to the appt in the hope that potentially i might get a date in the next week or so for delivery given the way i'm feeling so it was my fault a little. He then checked my bp which suprise suprise was elevated (i was on the verge of tears) I tried to explain to him that i get high bp with anxiety/stress and if left for a min it will come down (which is how all my other appts have gone) but once again he dissmissed that and sent me straight to pregnancy day stay for 4 hours of bp monitioring bloods and urine (i was furious he wasn't listening). He didn't even finish his consultation before walking me there and leaving me . The nurse was great and listened to my concerns i have asked not to be seen by him again and will be seen for monitoring Monday and clinic Friday so hopefully will get some better answers this week.
After a long sleep last night (i went to bed at 745pm!) i feel better today and just have to be positive. I'm going for a walk this morning and i just need to try to let go (which i find difficult!) and try to enjoy this last few weeks. I know my babies are better off inside instead of the trauma of having to potneially go to the nursery for a short time it's just that it's been a long journey (for us all) and i just want them in my arms where i know they are safe.
Thanks for listening guys and if you read all my rambling you have done very well.
I will jump on later i the day to catch up with the rest of you all.
xxxxxxBella

Hi to all the lovely pg women and new mums
ATM over the moon, I did 2 hours of taped assessment this morning and a few little stuff ups, like the tape running out with 10 mins to go and forgetting one part, but I pulled it all together and it shows how adaptable I am. But THANK THE LORD IT"S OVA.
I'm melting my class is 36C my feet are so swolen and I can't wait to go home.
Off to the open plane zoo tomorrow, and yes it will be 35 but it will still be nice, I'm putting on my hippi skirt pulled up to my boobs and I don't care, gota love looking pg now! hope everyone is having a great weekend.
