    Poppyfairy congrats on you birth. Boys are very special and love mummy cuddles.

    Well off to the ob today, If it looks like this baby is going to be as big as Campbell I am going to ask for a CS. Not for me but for baby. Campbell got very stuck and didnt breath and ended up in ICU because of how big he was I am not going to do that to another child if I can help it. We will see what happens today. Well need to go get ready I am going to the Casino for lunch today with all the girls from work. Yeah a bit of me time.

    Hi Dusty,
    I only had a very very quick scan at my OBs between 12 and 20 weeks, sort of, ok, there is one, there is the heart beat, there is the other, there is the heart beat, that is all, otherwise it was the official 12 week NT and then the 20 week morphology. I did find it very hard to wait between the official scans, 8 weeks is a long time, and did/do find myself worrying. I am counting down days until my next official next Tue, as am dying to know what size they are and that growth is on track, I guess the worry just doesn't go away. Hope you are keeping well, GL for tomorrow. Make sure you look out for the nubby if you want to try to guess gender

    Smithy, OMG, so excited for you too!

    Saph, GL with your OB appointment and hope you can book your C section in.

    Hi to everyone else, I am tracking along, very excited am 34 weeks today, now I can have the bubs on the Gold Coast and not be shipped up to Brisbane. I guess is just a matter of time for me too, just trying to hang on as long as I can now, I have 36 weeks as a goal in my mind. Still hoping they will flip so I can do a VB, but I have a feeling my OB will be talking C section next week, I will be asking for a date at 38 weeks hoping at least I can go into labour naturally before that, and also give the girls as much time as I can in case they do flip.

    Belly rubs to everyone xxx

    poppy fairy -=- BIG CONGRATS HUN ON THE SAFE AND QUICK ARRIVAL OF ROBIN !!!


    0 hour labour huh... hmm. what exactly happened there??? cant wait to hear more and see some cluck inducing pics

    Dusty -=- Good luck with your 12 week scan tomorow! Hope everything goes well and you get a good look at lil phoenix! I only had the standard 12 week and 19 week scans after I got the all clear from the EPU ( I had a few scans between 5 and 11 weeks to clear for misscarriage as i had a few bleeds..) Dunno If that helps in any way.. Ive always gone through the public system in hospitals so I dont know too much about birthing centres and how they go about it all.. tho they sound good!

    Smithy -=- 29th of jan isnt too far away at least! Sounds like ur having a terrible time with all the sickness.... How about I send you some general health vibes along with the labour ones!

    saph -=- sounds stressfull hun just do whatever you think is best good to hear your getting a bit of you time today! I had my child free tuesday yesterday and spent it over at my gfs catching up with her and our other two gf's that were heading over too NZ for the next 3 weeks! So we made the most of it those 3 are a crackup when we all get together!

    Hey baby dreamtime! Woot for 34 weeks! thats doing realy well for twins! GL for the next few weeks hope everything works out for you!

    ..trying to get my lil one too nap. It sounds funny that I still try to get him to nap seeing as he's turning 3 next week.. But when I dont he falls asleep at 5 or 6 then skips his dinner and shower to sleep through the night. Its a bit of a struggle seeing as he loves to fight off the drowsy eyes and keep playing, but If I can get him there it will all be worth it!!! Its really hot today and the comp room is the only one with air con.. Ill probably be sneaking in here once he does go to sleep so I can feel a lil less sweat monster myself! Had a wonderfull cuddle from DH today before he left.. Hes being really sweet, after trying and failing to get a cuddle and kiss from our indepandant thinking lil toddler (hehe) he came over to my belly leant down and gave jelly bean a big snuggle and goodbye as well.. and told him/her he was proud of how strong s/hes been and that he cant wait to meet him/her.

    CONGRATULATIONS Poppy on the safe arrival of little Robin!




    Smithy you poor thing! Hope it's only a short wait for you now.

    Sending labour vibes to ellasmum & greenie too.

    BDT: you make your 36 weeks and VB!

    Saph: good luck with the sizing!

    Dusty: I had the 12wk scan, but made it very clear I wasn't interested in taking it further if anything came back. They pretty much knew I was only doing it to see Cookie. But then again I'm going private so I guess as long as I'm paying the $$$ they'll do what I like.

    to everyone else!

    AFM, having an interesting day. Today is my due date for the angel bub I lost back in my first round. I fully expected to be a wreck today but surprisinigly I'm ok. I guess I've had long enough to prepare for it. We will probably just light some candles and have some quiet time when DH gets home.

    Appointment went well yesterday. I think the Ob must have said something to the midwife cause she was ever so nice, even asked how my back was going. A couple of things have come out of the visit, firstly Cookie is definitely breech. No surprise there I have suspected it for a while now and I was a breech myself. So the plan of action is to monitor position at every visit and then at 36 weeks if he/she hasn't turned the call will be made to "exit via the sunroof" (as someone so cleverly put it before). Again, surprising myself, thought I'd be upset at the prospect of a C-sect but am surprisingly chilled. And now just got a call to say my diabetes test has come back high so have to go back for more, this time the full GTT. Ho hum, ahhh the joys!

    Had a really amazing moment the other night, had been sneezing all day and suddenly sneezed again, put my hand on my belly and I could feel the head! Clear as anything, the little round hard head-shaped lump in my hand, in the middle just up under my stomack! I almost cried! Those awesome moments are what it's all about! Funny though, I was determined to get DH to feel it too so every time I had to sneeze I would go running to him, grab his hand and put it on my belly then procedd to spray all over him He wasn't impressed! But hey, I said "honey in a few short weeks your gonna have more than my sneezes all over you" lol.

    Obviously not meant to be napping today, tried to lay down for a nap 3 times now and every time someone either calls or comes to the door

    Hope everyone's coping well in the heat, our Southerly has just come through o thank goodness it's cooling down a little!

    Have a good evening!

    Poppyfairy Congratulations Guess I lost my money

    BabyDreamtime Me PLEASE Glad you made your mile stone, much easier to have bubba close to home.

    Goodluck with Scan tomorrow Dusty are you going to find out phoenix blue pink?

    Smithy so it's pre 29 or out comes Charlie how exciting

    Saph good to make a decion that works for you and bubba.

    Boc for you and angel baby it's so hard, but being pg really helped me through. So nice you can feel your bubs head

    ATM not coping at all! I lost it at the kitchen bench after dropping DSS of to work, I can't drive, I can't sit, I can't lie down. My belly is so sore, it feels bruised and what's worse I can't find anything on the net that sounds anything like what I feel.

    OB tomorrow and bubs is still very active so I'm not phoning the hospital who will probably ask me if I'm in labor when I say NO they'll say just REST!

    WELL (big sigh) I have been, I gave up work, have done sweet FA for a week now and it's getting worse!

    The pain is mainly on my left side around belly button height and lower, when I get up I feel like my muscles have shrunk and it takes me half a dozen steps to straighten up.

    I've also had BH but that is totally different. My OB siad it'd go away if I stopped work SHE LIED! I don't want to rush Squeak but I can't do another 2-3 weeks of this!

    Oh green I so feel for you, my BH are very intense and they always come when I want to rest.

    Got to do the AFM bit now, My incution date of the 4/2 has been cancelled. With all the problems Campbell had because he got stuck I have now been booked for a C section on the 8/2 feeling ok about this as DH and I discussed the possiblity last night and decided that is this baby looked like being as big as Campbell we were not willing to subject him to that trauma. OB was very positive about it all and reasured me that I would be ok. I was a bit peaved when she said why didnt you tell me Campbells shoulder got stuck, I felt like yelling at her I have told you a thousand times and specifically said I didn't want a repeat.

    BOC you still have time for bubs to turn, a friends bub was breach the week before she had him and he turned that was at 36 weeks.

    Kyra- My Campbell is 3 and has a rest time now not sleep. He lies in my bed with a movie or cartoons and has a rest for an hour. Sometimes he falls asleep but if he does he wont go to sleep until really late so we prefer him not to sleep.

    Green - always thinking of you hope you get your VB. I have already had one and it was hell on earth, my ob said the C section will be a breeze.

    Oh I had to laugh my OB said that if I have a C section All future babies will need to be delivered by C section. After this hell on earth pregnancy THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER PREGNANCY.
