all is good here today the big 29 weeks tomozzo .9 to go omg
take care girls xoxo
i forgot to say thank you to the mod for our new thread
first of all: LM's questions a) if you had MS, when did it stop? I got MS from 6 weeks to 14 weeks and then nausea and feeling crook again from about 20 weeks. Felt very tired and blah pretty much since then. want my body back now. b) when did you get big enough that you couldn't lie on your belly anymore? i stopped laying on my back once my belly started showing it's cos of the vein that supplies the placenta etc and bub and organs squishing it. So started sleeping on my side as a precaution. Now i can't cos i feels like my stomach is in my neck. sleeping on my side was very uncomfy at first and highly recommend getting a man-pillow. c) when were you big enough that random people could tell? about 14 or 16 weeks. d) when were you big enough that close friends could tell? about 12 weeks e) Did any of you find out the gender and regret it, or not find it out and regret it? Yep found out and nope haven't regretted that decision. It was DH's call (i sort of felt like it was my gift to him for being so wonderful through ivf etc) and i'm happy we found out. but next baby (let's think optimiscally lol) i think i might not find out. we have all the stuff now anyway and i won't mind what colour, can't change it! f) Should I really be drinking prune juice? Never been constipated in my life and it sounds pretty horrid!!! You get constipated thanks to the progesterone in your system. Only drink the prune juice if you are actually constipated and plenty of fresh fruit/vegs etc I mixed the prune juice ith other juice cos i didn't like the taste and ate fresh prunes. I had very bad constipation from weeks 6 to about 14/16 weeks. It was very painful and the prunes helped. Also, make sure you drink plenty of water. The constipation hasn't really come back since then - gone the opposite way for the past 2 or 3 months brh.
hi lise - good luck with the moving dear! hope you are well.
yep Mitf lol legs crossed... until dh gets home next friday *wink* *wink*. it's been 8 weeks... EIGHT LONG LONG LONG LONG weeks. i think that's the whole reason my DH is so excited about coming home. I'm going to jump him the minute he steps in the house, I can just see the fear in his eyes as a huge preggy lady pounces on his skinny butt lol.
mitf - i'm very glad to hear you didn't let MS interfere with dessert. lol. I have gone off meat and fish and bread and potatoes and various other things through out this pregnancy - but never, ever chocolate! lol. I'm very proud of you lady.
went and whaled about the pool this morning... glorious! then got haircut and took myself out to lunch... spent the entire time pretending to read the newspaper while eavesdropping on the table next to me... talking about people i know through work... heehee. Am now back on my lounge, fur baby asleep in her bed next to me and i'm about to hit the paints lol.
hope you are all well. three sleeps til MIL here yaya!!! and 8 days til DH home! that's like a week... AND he aced his exams!!!! so proud. oxoxo

Hi Lise sorry to hear your PC died, not good timing hay. hope all is well.
ATM eating a sprinkle donut. hmmmmmmmmmm yummy..........
I got home early yesterday and went outside with my paint and just enjoyed some good music. DF came home fuming due to a speeding fine. I just let him go huff puff etc.
He found the nicobate stuff I baught and said 'thanks' and how much. I said if it helps FREE lol.
We sat outside for about 2 hours while I painted listening to some music and talking about his work, the weekend etc. Was nice, no tv just us time. We were suposed be being going to his place on the weekend but the weather is awful (and there's a ferry to get there!) so I'm thinking of pulling out. DF needs to go be in the bush for a bit though and I'm happy for him to go on his own. He's already said he wont go back until bubs is born which is sweet.
So I think things are calm now. I do feel so much more hormonal atm though, I guess my body is getting ready to deliver but it is strange, I'm really hot, really sleep (slept through my alarm) and very teary. anyone else there yet?
okay LM - i'm a preggy woman with half a brain... i didn't read your B question correctly. I'm not a belly sleeper. so can't help you. lol. sorry love ox
hi greenslw! but thanks a lot ... now i want a donut! lol. ox
Hi everyone,
So sorry for being super slack and not dropping in sooner, I just barely have time to be here now, have been so busy and so much going on and trying to get all my work done before going on mat leave, 3 weeks and counting and am down to 4 days a week now. Have heaps of news, DH has a JOB!!!! after being out of work for all of this year, which has taken so much pressure off and I can go on mat leave knowing we have $ coming in, our renos are almost finished, I have my baby shower this weekend and am pretty much organised. All has been going well with me, though did have a little scare last week with a sharp stitch like pain in my lower right hand side, and after 2 hours of this went to hospital for a check, all was fine though they couldn't find any reason except twin 2 had switched around and her head was jammed up against my ovary and pushing on my ligaments. So after doing too much work on the house and pushing it a bit too much, I have come to my senses and won't be doing anything physical from here on in. I have my 28 week scan next Tue, just hanging out for that to make sure all is going well in there, even though both are very active, I just want that reassurance.
Just quickly:
Murph, I have written endless posts to you in my head about how amazing and brave a woman you are, and how lucky your beautiful Jazzy is to have you as a mother. When I read your post, I was sitting at my desk crying, my boss walked passed and I ended up almost hyperventilating trying to get the words out as to why I was crying. Please know that all our thoughts are with you, and I only hope that I would have the strength of spirit and heart to move forward with such hope, that you do.
Greenslw, will have a good read of your post and catch up on where you are, but I see your dates are coming up soon, thinking of you.
Smithy my sweets, happy coming 29 weeks, you are amazing and thank you for your endless positive posts.
Grub, I am dying for a swim too, but have workers/labourers at the house every day. Can't wait for the weekend. So happy for you that DH is home next weekend, hope it flys by.
Lise, LondonMiss, Mitf, I haven't said welcome yet, so welcome! So glad you are all here.
Special shout out to LilMiss, congrats on a blue bundle, so excited for you, see you Sat for yoga!
I promise to catch up soon, big hi and lots of love to everyone one else. xx

It started at about 8 weeks and ended at about 11weeks (but in there I got a virus and migrane and was in hospital for 5 days! hell on earth!)
b) when did you get big enough that you couldn't lie on your belly anymore?
Well, I am only 15ish weeks.. so.. I can still lie on my belly, but not for too long. Same with my right hand side, if i lie that way for too long I get some pain, a bit like a pulled muscle.
c) when were you big enough that random people could tell?
Yesterday! lol.. I was walking (waddling) past the pizza shop down at my work and the owner noticed.. whilst I was stuffing my face with a sausage roll
d) when were you big enough that close friends could tell?
Havent really had that experience, all my friends knew at about 11 weeks.
e) Did any of you find out the gender and regret it, or not find it out and regret it?
We are finding out, I may regret it.. but I am so impatient and a bit of a control freak, so I lose both ways!
f) Should I really be drinking prune juice? Never been constipated in my life and it sounds pretty horrid!!!
Hmm.. I am consitpated on and off.. but seriously, its painful and annoying.. and if you think you are prone to consitpation, do the prune juice thang.. for me I just take my elevit every second day rather than every day and try to eat salad and mangos and bananas
Hey girls,
Mon hcg was 36000 Wed it was 50000 - that's good right? Still feeling nauseas today - this is not normal for me. Of course DH and I have dissected it every which way, and we think 1. hopefully it was late implantation - does this happen?
2. it's a good/albeit awkward sign that i'm feeling m/s
3. gonna go to GP next week and ask for ANOTHER BT and he has a scanner, so see if we can find any heartbeat next week.
4. the sonographer mentioned it's against the wall - indicating difficult to see clearly - could the fetal pole/heartbeat be hiding??
So I sit nibbling ginger, drinking ginger ale and feeling
green - sounds like you had an awesome time with DH....we like sitting and having brekky/lunch on our patio and today he pottered while I lay on the lounger talking to my furbabies and giving him directions
mitf - I so hope you're right with the late implantation....I didn't know if that would affect the whole timeline ...glad you enjoyed your dessert!! apples, fruit and healthy you know!!
Everyone have a nice night. I'm off for sausage casserole...I started dinner, but had to distance myself from kitchen x
Morning all. Just told my parents and skype broke just at the wrong time so I didn't get to see their reactions gutted. It's tough sometimes being so far away at the best and worst of times.
My mother (who panics about anything and everything and panics when she has nothing to panic about) told me not to panic.. hilarious.
My symptoms are wavering and I know that there is a perfectly sensible explanation for everything (I didn't sleep well because it's too damn hot, my back aches because I was working on my useless desk chair, I don't feel as sick because I had something little early on, my stomach aches but *TMI* I think I'm full of wind after a root veg and bean caserole last night) but I'm still panicking that it's somehow slipping away.... please do feel free to tell me I'm being a silly cow and to stop it.
LM... no dolly will I call you that! You've been as supportive to me as everyone else on the forum, both in the LTTTC/2ww and this one. As you've listed yourself, there are many reasons for all your symptoms having come/abated.
I'm trying to do the 'not panicing' thing too. It works most of the time.
I'm off to go and walk my furbaby before it gets any hotter. You take care, and enjoy the m/s reprieve at the mo.
you and DH are so patient OMG that is a tantrum and a 1/2 from DS thank goodness he's not like that all the time. I am in awe of you both.
ginger is great early but think twice later on HEART BURN!
glad first scan was great.
donut gone. 
have a great day.
and am pretty much organised.
