hi girlies.. thanks for the vibes lol keep them coming! i thought i was having mild contractions last night and got thinking 'ooh maybe soon'. now i am feeling he's never coming out... DH laughed and told me it was a conspiracy to trick me to think I was pregnant and i would never actually give birth... and there's cameras in the house watching my reactions a bit like The Truman Show lol. MEN! that was sooooo helpful darling. who thinks of stuff like that lol.
hi boc - how exciting to get the furniture in!!! and good on your DH for being a good bloke... but he should be doing it all the time now IMO lol. i'm spoilt with my dh, he does the lion's share of the housework since i got preg and could barely get out of bed. it's great, but i do have to sneak behind him sometimes and 'fix' his man cleaning lol. enjoy your breakky!
YAY saph! how quick did that seem to go?? your last week will fly by love... then you'll be like me at home... waiting, waiting, waiting lol. At least Campbell will provide the entertainment for you lol.
KAYDEE!!! what a treat to have you pop by! I have thought about you since you left us with your bubs and wondered how you were travelling so glad all is well, if very busy, at your place lovely. ox
hi lilmiss - how are you? feeling well? things going okay?
lani - where you at GF?? lol.
airline - how are you going huny? i have fingers, toes and all sorts of other bits crossed for you tomorrow my darling. i really really really really want this for you guys.
PAULA - welcome aboard lady!!! i hope you find this forum supportive and helpful. I think it's so popular cos all the ladies here are so lovely, a little ccrraaaazzeee but just gorgeous.
sonyalouise - hi love, not sure if it's been suggested to you... but i found blackmores morning sick tablets the bomb. i still had nausea but not as bad as before i started them. otherwise keep snacking. sorry to hear you are struggling. It's funny how quickly you think "I would die for a baby'' to "omg what have i done, i think i AM going to die'' lol.
smithy - go the colour coordination lol. well i'm more boring than you cos i'm not sick constantly and still doing nothing! lol. finished another painting tho and started a funky little frog ooh ooh have to take furbaby to get her toenails clipped! beat that high pants lol.
MISS TANIA - glad you are well love. yes i've been sleeping lots... but not sure it's one of those things you can 'stock up' on lol. give your bubba a nice big raspberry on the belly for me... lol.
Green - those bottles sound lovely! what a sweet idea! and yep, further away from things is a real problem. it's hard on my back to wash up etc cos i can't reach... and if i eat my dinner on the lounge i tend to wear mostof it on the bottom of my belly cos it'll sit on my plate and i won't notice till i look in the mirror lol. my tummy ate damn-near half my pumpkin last night! so i have to check myself before leaving the house. lol. hope work is lfying by so you can kick back like you deserve.
good ot hear from you POPPY although that's no good about your dad and his evil wiff. but it's for your dad to sort out... good on you for standing up and saying 'enough is enough'. You have every right to control who is and is not in your life and you don't need toxic personalities... what your dad does is his call alone. It's sad he's struggling cos she's obviously manipulative, but at the end of the day - he married her, he's been told clearly what you guys think and it's his life. sorry if that sounds too harsh, but i think you have much more important things to put your energy into rather than this drama and woman! but i can't imagine how hard it is to watch your dad struggle
Love your DH doing the painting I did some silhoutted photos for dh when he was away. i really wanted to record the moment cos who knows if we'll get a 2nd bub. I"m sure i'll look back in 20 yrs time in disbelief of what my body did! and I'm a naughty mummy too... I don't realise i do it but apparently, according to DH, i say "oh eff it" under my breath ... a lot.
WOW - what a huge post! good on you grubby lol. you little gas bag! lol. Still here... hands are very swollen and so sore i could barely hold my tea cup this morning!!! that's like torture for me. Been sleeping heaps the last few days... am looking for ''signs'' of labour just like the TWW when i was looking for pregnancy 'signs' lol. Goign to try some visulasation, deep breaths and relaxation to try and let go of my stress, anxiety and need to control this.... then going to bounce on my fit ball like a crazy woman.
COME ON BUBBA!!!!
good luck girls... seems a lot of people are scanning and testing and what not this week! oxoxoxoox
It is really hard for me to keep up with this thread as I have mushy pregnancy brains but I will give it a go.
Grub- How funny is your DH. Every time I move or make a sound my DH says is it baby time. I wish. Thinking of you and sending you lots of labour vibes. Not long left now.
Boc – How sweet of DH to cook dinner and clean up. How funny about being in your nightie.
Saph - All seems well for you. Enjoy the last few days at work. Not long YAY!!!!
Kaydee - Great to hear from you, I am sure the twins are keeping you busy.
Lilmiss - Hope u are well and all is going great.
Airline – Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow. Everything is crossed that all is good.
Paula welcome. I hope you find this forum very supportive. I have found everyone to be lovely. Great news for you after what seems like it would have been a long journey. Wishing you a very happy and healthy pregnancy.
Sonyalouise – Hope u are feeling better. I was lucky and didn’t get very much MS at all but I was told salt n vinegar anything, chips, rice crackers etc.
Smithy – Hope all is going well, not long left till you will be holding Charlie. Hope you are not feeling too bad.
Miss Magpie- Great to hear from you and hope you are well! Hope Trent is behaving himself and being a good little boy for mummy.
Greenslw – The bottles sound very sweet. I hear you on having to be further away from things, I cannot wait till I can eat dinner at the table and not 3ft away from it. Not long to go now.
Poppy- I hope you are able to sort your dramas out. Nothing like a family drama when you least need it. I hope everything works out for you xxx
Well I hope I haven’t missed anyone and I am really sorry if I have.
AFM- I have tried everything to bring this labour on curry, chilli, sex, reflexology, walking, I need to get a fit ball and start bouncing on that. That can be on today’s shopping list. I have my OB appt tomorrow to see what is happening and I am sure he will discuss induction if labour doesn’t commence. I am just not sure how long I want to wait to see if labour starts itself.
Well just poppoing in to get a check of who is actually in here atm
Grub, Boc, Saph, Kaydee, Lilmiss, Airline, Paula, Sonyalouise, Smithy, Miss Magpie, Greenslw and Poppy. Did I miss anyone. Hope your pregnancies are coming along well.
Laniwantsababy try some rasberry leaf, I have heard it is supposed to help. Personally I think it will happen when its time, also get DH to take you for a drive along a bumpy road, now I do know that helps put me into labor with DS funny thing is thats not why we were there lol.
AFM - I am 5 1/2 weeks now woohoo and booked in for U/S next Friday, but wondering whether if I ring clinic if they can do it sooner. I am busting to know if there are 1 or 2. Not sleeping that wellm as I keep waking up from the weirdest dreams. LOL. I have dreamt of every scenario just want to hear a heart beat and know that it's / they are ok. DH says I am so impatient, like I told him just very nervous. How early have others had there U/S done?
Anyway hope you all have a great day. Keep those buns cooking in the oven. xxx to everyone.
hey rob, they can't do it too early cos they need to see the pole, hb etc. we were supposed to have ours at 6 weeks but the way it worked out it was closer to 7... nearly killed me with waiting! good luck with it lovely. how exciting!
lani - we are channeling each other... now if you go inot labour because of one of those wives tales get back on here ASAP and share your method! we've tried all that too except the bumpy road, but i figure fitball does the same And i'm on raspberry leaf tea tablets but they help smooth out the cervix and can help with more effecient contractions, not so much to bring labour on... but you never know!
we also have ob appnt tomorrow where i'll be cornering her re induction. this close to chrissy is getting on my stress levels. let us know how you go!
so the race is on Lani! You and me lady. who will make it first lol??? how exciting... take care of yourself and good luck.
Thanks rob. I have tried the raspberry leaf tea tablets which I have been taking for the last 4wks.
May need to go for a bumpy drive.
I had my u/s at 6wks3days. If u go any earlier u may only see the egg and sac but no heartbeat, try and wait as long as possible. It's not that long now. How exciting wishing u all the best xx
Just a quick post for Lani and Grub about induction... Not lecturing but a normal pregnancy in nature is considered to be 42 weeks and you are more likely to get closer to this if it is your first bub... It's only Dr's need to have control that they put the 40week limit on it... If you can wait it is sooo much better to let your little one choose it's birthday because of the complex hormones that are produced to help labour if you do... Induction can also lead to a more painful and longer labour... HTH and I say this to help not to hinder... Keep trying the natural ways and I hope your little ones are here soon for the sake of both your sanity and bodies... good luck gorgeous ladies as I look forward to hearing that labour has started...
To everyone else I promise to be back for persies a little later.. Life is a little manic at the moment...
Mwah
so glad all is well, if very busy, at your place lovely. ox
