ME... been in hospital with a drip i have not been well at all was very dehidrated from all my vomiting and also had protien in my wee sample ,today im home and feeling lots better i think its all the fluid they gave me ,checked charlies h/b all good there i burst into tears as soon as i heard it midwife come in to check her and said her head is so far down she could harldly feel it so i really believe i wont make it to 38 weeks to be induced as i had jaymee at 36 so maybe ill go early again.
so ive actually dragged a mattress into the lounge room and im laying around like a big sloth trying to get rid of the reflux thats really hurting my throat now OH NOT LONG NOW THANK GOD LOL..
sorry for the me rant girls i hope your all well and know im thinking of you all might just lurk for a while me thinks
Smithy - that sounds rubbish - hope you feel better soon.
Grub's gone quiet - hopefully that is a good sign!
I've scared myself today looking at pregnancy books, and observing that my 9 week 5 day belly is as big as the one in the book of the skinny Scandic lady who is 5 months. Maybe I need to eat slightly fewer cakes/ ice cream....
Hi KellyD glady you and Tara are well. Maybe pink for me
Grub I can totally understand why you need a rant feel free, it's an impossible situation, I'm still hoping bubs comes over the weekend for you OMG 4km walk you are determined.
LondonMiss you sound quiet relaxed well done
BabyDreamtime enjoy your last day today SO GOOD, can't wait for mine
Kyrawolfe well done on the move. and it sounds like a much better place for you all. BH already. and congrats on being 1/2 way that's a nice milestone
Smithy glad you're ok that is not good at all, what's the instructions for the next 56 days?
Welcome Dusty and well done
For me I'm on cloud nine, the scan went so well, plecenta is at the back of my uterous and well out the way. Bubs is as big as he/she should be and all the fluid levels were great. I cornered my OB and said "since I've had such a good pg how long will you let me go over?" she said a week, before it was pull the baby out on my EDD. So I feel like i've achieved a bit of a win for me and Squeak.
DH didn't come to the appointment yesterday but came to the scan he was in awe. Funny what made me weepy was seeing the ambilicle cord (spelling) seeing the blood flow and relising that that's my blood. No wonder mums are so special to people. I knew this before of course but seeing it was beautiful.
Bubs is so active doesn't sit still.
So 5 and a bit weeks to go, 4 weeks of work and this weekend I'm decorating the nursary!
Have a great day all
hey high pants dobber, can you send me the link to the whinge about the tickers again. I am NOT ten weeks today... it's tomorrow! And it went straight from 9 wk 3 to 9 wk 5, and I'm not good at maths, but I'm pretty sure there's a 9 week 4 in between traditionally!!! If we speed up a day a week for the rest of the pregnancy, I'll only be about 34 weeks when I drop!!
Thanks for the lovely welcome. I was quite nervous to post in here as last pg I made the plunge and then it all went disastrous soon after.
Apologies in advance for the selfish post but ahhhh I am all anxious today and need some reassurance. We had a scan and saw a wriggling Phoenix on Weds, measuring beautifully and my nausea and exploding breasts over the last week were giving me confidence that all was going well (after almost no symptoms). However, the last 2.5 days my breasts seem to have calmed down a significantly (although still large) and the nausea and tiredness has greatly subsided. So now all I can think about is something is going wrong. The symptoms were such a comfort.
Did anyone else experience a reduction of symptoms at 8 weeks or early in the first tri? Its 2.5 weeks until our next scan and I want to be able to enjoy the holiday and Phoenix and stop worrying
Thanks for listening.

Grub - I hope your quietness is a good sign that things are progressing and we will get the good news soon.
Dusty - I found that I was really exhausted and had tender boobs for about the first 2.5 weeks before it settled down. I never had any major morning sickness and only felt a little nauseas in weeks 8/9. I now occasionally have days were my boobs feel tender but it is not like the constant ache I had at first. I sometimes get a cramping like pain down below which was a bit disconcerting at first but I have been assured it is just the uterus stretching and placenta growing. Everyone is different but I wouldn’t stress about the change in your symptoms. Your body is responding in a way that is right for it.
Smithy - sorry to hear that you have been in hospital. I hope you are feeling much better now.
AFM – We had our 12 week scan yesterday. I was only 11w4d but managed to schedule it a little early before my work Christmas party. The scan was fantastic and snuggles was jumping around a little bit. Snuggles wouldn’t move into the right angle so we ended up being in their for about 40 min. The heartbeat was 169 and we could clearly see 2 little arms and legs. It was great to have that next reassuring scan before I told everyone the news at the Christmas party. My team were very sweet organising morning tea this morning and they gave me a little bootie & beanie set. Things are starting to feel more real and I am looking forward to the Christmas break and starting to do a little nursery shopping.
Sorry I don't have any more time for personals while at work but to all.
Dusty my boobs stopped hurting around 8 weeks and only started again around 32 weeks. I only got nausia with certain foods and situations (lots of smells) and only at night. Hang in there our bodies don't behave EVER. I guess that's part of the fun. You need a time waister? do you read? paint? draw? knit? Do something. I was writing in my journal daily early on. Now I forget but it was so helpful, I know Grub and I are also painters which helps. Venting is also very good.
Mitf how wonderful to see snuggles moving and arms and legs and a booming heart beet. What a wonderful Christmas gift for you and family
LondonMiss what a cool lunch spot!
All Christmas Shopping is now done! I am so so so so happy. No more mad shopping or thinking!
Oh has anyone got a nice nappy bag yet? I don't like the one's i've seen and don't think I can afford a designer brand. HELP
