kyra - poor old DS - there's nothing like a child for logic! Super skinny people who are heavily pregnant always bring beetles into my mind, who if they get on their backs can't right themselves. I worry that they might get stuck....
We're having an early family Christmas dinner tomorrow as we're off to Perth for actual Christmas, and won't have the furbaby with us. Sadly, the idle british postmen are on strike again, and we have very few presents to open. not that I'm a child or anything...
Dusty~ Its hard not to worry when you have already had things go wrong in the past.Me too! I worry all the time and am forever checking to see that my symptoms are still 'there'.I havent hardly had any sickness and my boobs are sore but not as sore as they get before a period.They tend to hurt,first thing when i get up then late at night but not really through the day. I only feel slightly nautious when i smell something and the only 2 strong symptoms i have is extreme tiredness and constant trips to the loo.
I had my first scan last tuesday and had a lovely heartbeat with a good size bub and my ivf specialist said that when a heartbeat is found,your 90% off the way there so the mc rate is only 10%.Thats pretty good,i think.My new pregnancy book i just bought says,however that if your 8 weeks and a heartbeat has been found the chance of a baby at the end of your pregnancy is a massive 97%.
Try not to stress.You probably felt reassured by the scan and didnt think of the symptoms so much,until now,your thinking about it again and starting to worry until the reassurance of the next scan.I felt great about my scan and only 3 days later have started wishing for the next scan in a few weeks to hurry up,so i can be reassured again!
Hope you take it easy.I didnt have any symptoms when i had my son 12 yrs ago.I even had bleeding for 2 weeks so i didnt know i was pg until about 8 weeks.
Just wanted to throw a challenge out here! I think I have just experienced the most ridiculous hangover of LTTC anxiety. Can anyone beat me??
OK I am 36 weeks pregnant today. I have a baby that I can feel moving inside me daily for most of the day. My obstetrician and endocrinologist saw me today and were extremely happy with the baby and me. The baby is now 2/5 engaged and I have pubic pain showing I am getting ready for birth.......
However today I am starting to feel what feels like period pain and my boobs are hurting. So what is my first thought?????........................ 'OH NO my period is coming I am not pregnant!!!!!'
Now is that just completely ridiculous or not? LOL!!! LTTC never goes away!!! I have been fighting that thought all day everytime I get a crampy feeling or twinge in the boobs!!! I don't think I will believe fully I was pregnant until the baby is in my arms!
Dusty - sounds like the placenta is taking over! Which is good news! Symptoms are reassuring and it will be hard for you now until you can feel the baby move. I used to get through that time between symptoms and feeling the baby move by looking forward to hearing the heartbeat at my antenatal visits. But those visits were so far apart too!!!
Smithy - Poor you Not long to go now....I hope you start to feel better soon.
Kyra - you are brave putting on two parties!!!
Londonmiss - I was massive from about 9-10 weeks as well. At least we get a good amount of wear from our maternity stuff!!!
Mitf - great news about the scan. Next time you won't need to overdose on water though!! Much more comfortable!!
Greenslw- glad everything is going well and you have been given another week. I got downgraded today to midwife care rather than specialist care (although they still won't let me give birth in the birthing centre) because I was also doing well. It is nice when that happens hey?!
Poppyfairy - you are right, you win this weeks bonkers award that's hilarious. How funny that our first thoughts are always of failure!
I'm grumpy. Our 'Christmas Day' has been interrupted as DH has had to go in a taxi to the airport to drop his passport off with UPS as it needs to be taken to London urgently as the Indian embassy have decided that you can only apply for a business visa from your country of permanant residence. We're still not sure if he needs to be there in person. How damn stupid is that in a world discussing blummin global warming. Utterly bloody pointless bureacracy. So I'm sat here listening to Christmas Carols to try and get in the mood. I'm having one of my very very rare homesick moments as everyone keeps sending pics of home in the snow.
Anyway. Ought to buck up and go and tidy some of the dogs devastation. Hope you are all well. Hope you are pushing Grub and not reading this....! Lani - hope all is going well with the baby.
I would think its safe to say we all know the reason grub isnt around right now
so lets all send her healthy happy baby and mummy vibes today! heres to hearing her wonderfull news soon
poor DS has a little head cold And as good measure has decided to share the germs! So i Woke up this morning with 0 energy and razor blade throat blargh... Poor lil buggers been sneezing and coughing and crying.. Been giving him big snuggles and getting lots of grubby kisses and sooky appreciation from him.. My poor lil man... Its so funny that when I look at him he seems so grown up and boy like, then at other times he just turns right back into the little baby I brought home from hospital a little less then 3 yrs ago ...
stats = 7.5 hr labour; gas and tense machine only and pushed out under mamma's own steam with just a graze. He's perfect to boot. having some trouble BF but we'll get there.
dh was AMAZING throughout and is now multitasking = bub cuddles, reading and coffee lol
thank you all. hope to get on and post again soon but i'm only on dh's mini-pc. Home tuesday
