Hi BOC - thanks - must take you ages! I'm due July 16th. I'm calling him/her flutterbug at the moment based on the scan.
A question for you all - I often get cramped muscles (long story involving an accident with a donkey in Egypt - I'll tell you one rainy day!) - particularly in the top of my bottom/ bottom of my back. For years, I've had really really strong, deep massages and they help so much. Do you think it's ok to get one now? My bottom (round my pelvis) is cramping so badly my leg is twitching almost. Or should I ask my GP? I don't have an obstet. yet, just an FS who I doubt knows... or am I underestimating him. Or maybe a nurse? what do you think?
Oh, the masseuse is pregnancy trained, she's 'proper'.
LM, so sorry to laugh, don't mean anything nasty by it but I have a very sick twisted mind and you can imagine the images conjured up in my brain in regards to and accident involving a donkey in Egypt leaving you with a sore bottom region... sorry but my dirty mind went haywire LOL.
I will update you on the list.
In regards to the massage, I have a friend that is a masseuse, and she told me it's not a good idea to have a massage til at least 12 weeks just in case, especially if it is a "delicate" pregnancy situation as throughout the massage you are releasing and moving toxins around your body. She said some masseurs will still do them, but she refuses just in case, she would hate to cause any problems. Hope that helps.
lol LM - i must confess i did a little dirty mind giggling too i had a mssage but not til about 30 weeks or so... i get terrible pain and cramps in my hips/butt/calves... i find the hip ones are from the relaxin particularly at night... Make sure when sleeping on your side to have a couple of pillows between your legs (mind really in gutter now lol) and your knees and hips are in line. For me, it was those muscles and joints over-stretching cos of the relaxin and the way i was sleeping. hope that helps... not sure about massage under 12 weeks but there are people who specalises, you might just need to make a few phone calls.
oh smithy! i hope so!!! if any of you girls come and steal my thunder and pop bubs out before me, well, i'll be extremely put out!!! wait you turn lol. DH hopein THREE sleeps!!!! three!!! threee!!! three!!!
Boc, that's really interesting. i'm so glad we scrapped in this year. bloody federal money grabbers... oops meant govt!
greenslw - glad to see that green foot being put down on work. taking time out for yoruself is soo important.
mrs slyder - welcome aboard hun!!!
hi to all our other lovely girls. hope you are all well ... who had scans this week??? sorry can't remember.
just had a visit from an 8mth old cousin (well 3rd cousin actually) and I WANT MY PRIZE lol. am exhausted now tho. belly settled down, feet and back aching.... i think its all just the joy of prelabour!
Well i'm never going to be able to catch up on personals so i'm going to just start from scratch apart from a couple of things. Though of course, LM, I can't let a comment about donkeys and sore bottoms go past without asking ????????! You realise now you're going to have to fill us in
And Grub - so close now - I can feel your excitement! Hell, i'm excited for you! You've done remarkably well my lovely to last this long at such a time without DH, my hat goes off to you. My DH and I had 12 months living apart - him in Melbourne and me in Canberra, but we spoke several times daily, and the longest we went without seeing each other was three weeks, and I thought that was the toughest time of my life (certainly didn't help in the TTC department, lol!). So well done to you.
BOC - thanks for the tip, wish it applied to us. We have our first OB appointment on December 18, and we received all our paperwork a few weeks ago, including the schedule of fees. So apart from paying for each visit we have the honour of paying her another $3000 at the 20 week mark. Amazing! I'm beginning to wish we'd gone public, my friend went public about 18 months ago and said the only thing she had to pay for was one US. Oh well, the price we pay...
And Sonyalouise - i'm SO glad to see you on here! I've been following your posts, what a time you've had, and what a story you're going to have for your little one. Will be your scan goes well tomorrow.
And of course a big hello and well wishes to everybody else. You'll have to forgive my tired sick brain for not doing more personals. We've made the move back to Canberra and are staying at my parents until we can move in to our new rental house. Still cursing DH for asking our tenants to resign another lease (we own a house here but tenants now have a lease until August...) but what can you do. Still no computer, we probably won't buy one until we move into the new place as mum and dad have several. Trying to get on is another story - my sister and her girlfriend live with my parents at the moment so it's a little full here! And i've got another sinus infection so off work for a few days.
Gosh, what a whingey post, girls, i'm actually in quite a good mood although you might not be able to tell. We hit the double digits mark this week so only another couple of weeks and we can shout it to the roof tops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were out at dinner with some friends on our last night in Melbourne and halfway through dinner DH suddenly blurted out "lise's pregnant"! I don't know who was more shocked, them or us!!
Anyway, better go before you all fall asleep. Hope you're having a lovely day, and belly rubs to all.
