kyrawolfe 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.
airline being sick is a good sign ginger is great early but think twice later on HEART BURN!
mitf: it will be hard to hide around xmas I bet, as no drinking tired etc. glad first scan was great.
Grub a Parrot! OMG I think DF's dog is bad enought. I agea MEN! Must be the time to paint I've been madly paining it's really calming isn't it. gota love a sooky furbaby.
Hi Kelly glad you're doing well.
LondonMiss: Here goes green's answers to the following....
a) if you had MS, when did it stop? - 16weeks for me.
b) when did you get big enough that you couldn't lie on your belly anymore? 20 weeks for me.
c) when were you big enough that random people could tell? 30weeks for me
d) when were you big enough that close friends could tell? 26ish weeks.
e) Did any of you find out the gender and regret it, or not find it out and regret it? Surprise for me
f) Should I really be drinking prune juice? Never been constipated in my life and it sounds pretty horrid!!! I have had a bowl of all bran since conception and it's working for me. Hope that helps.
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.
just popping in! I am at In-laws so cannot say much at all! Had a good read and good to hear everyone's stories as usual! I am being spoilt by my in-laws (makes a change from my own family LOL!) They took me shopping today and bought me a dressing gown, slippers and bits for my hospital bag. I also spent my leaving work present vouchers on maternity tops and a couple of bras. I don't care if they don't fit when my milk comes in...the daggy one I have now goes up to my neck and means I cannot wear half of my wardrobe (I like a plunging neckline!!! LOL!) So I needed some others and these are a little nicer and I will have at least 8 weeks wear out of them. I figure it is not my money so I can indulge!! DH hasn't broached subject of accommodation at time of birth yet with his parents and we are leaving tomorrow so I am getting a bit worried! At least I know they will be more reasonable than my wicked stepmother!
LM - positive thoughts, postive thoughts, positive thoughts... and enjoy your moment. panic, stress, anxiety - it comes with the territory love and will stay with you throughout, but you can control it's impact on you. Don't let nasty niggling thoughts eat away at you. You are doing everything right and I'm sure it's all fine. YOu can't change the way anything will turn out apart from your positive positive positive mood!
And don't worry, i'm constantly poking my baby to make him move cos after you are stressed about your bubs stickiness in the first few weeks; then about the CF risk; developmental tests; movement; growth etc... you get to the stage where i'm at and you worry about stillbirth and something going wrong in labour etc. It's a never ending cycle. I just try and deal with it by pushing those thoughts aside and focussing on the positive "oh, he's jumping on my bladder again and made me wee a little''
What a bummer about skype!! lol. were they screechers? did they do a little cheer?
bdt - 28 weeks already! wow that went quickly lol. Hey and congrats on DH's new job,what a load off your shoulders. these last few weeks at work will fly by! believe me!
Krikkit - hello love! good to hear from you. how is all in your world? well i hope.
airline - hang in there sweetness oxo
BOC - where is our boc??? hope you are well and keeping out of the heat.
hi greenslw - i'm getting out the paints again today love. showed DH my handiwork over internet video chat last night, he had big smiles for me. hoep you are well love. any decision on the work thing? the MIL thing?
shout out to High Pants, lise, poppy, kellyd, Murph!, seph, saph, Miss Tania (hope bub is behaving ) and Llimiss...
did someone say Lilmiss had her bubba??? any details? did i miss something or am i having a baby brain moment????
AFM - not much to report. watched some more tv, painted some more and dropped a white paintbrush on the good leather lounge! lucky DH wasn't home, but i could hear the lecture from afar lol. my honey will be home in ONE WEEK... ONE WEEK, THAT'S SEVEN DAYS!!!! SEVEN SLEEPS!!!! and then i can have this little baby1!!!!!!!! hooorraaayy.
but unfortunately feeling quite stressed cos of all the weeks for bub to arrive early, this woud be the worst possible. DH has 3 days and one exam left to finish his course and if bub comes between now and next thurs, he'll have to go back next year.. but not jusst for four days, probably for a few weeks to revise all the stuff. So i'm staying very very quiet from now ti thurs. No swims, no walks, no lifting stuff, no nothing - BBBBOORRRIIINNNGGG.
so you should all keep posting here and entertain me! lol. (it's all about me!)
oh dear, fur baby is shoving her nose under my belly! wtf??? maybe there's a crumb from breakfast there. oxoxo
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.

and am pretty much organised.
