Smithy - wow 1st Feb. Not long to go now! Must be exciting to have a date that you can work towards.... I was wondering though why are they inducing you early? Will you tell people before the date or just wait till the baby comes?

Smithy well done, We will be exactly one week appart. I am having my C section on the 8th. It is all a little scary knowing that in 3 weeks time life as we know it is going to change. DH is now having to stay home with me after I come home from hospital. We are hoping for only two weeks. As long as I can drive I will be fine. I have had no more bleeding but was praying that maybe I was about to go into labour. Well really should go and get out of my pjs.

Greenslw woohoo on the hormones x3.. hahaha
Persephone congrats on finding out its a Boy!!
Nicole S thank you. Yes the double digits now. Every little milestone counts!
Grub good to hear Ashton is doing well and is growing strong.
mitf hope your midwife appointment goes well and you do get your bounty bag. Very exciting getting a "show bag". Only thing i was a little dissapointed about was that there werent many samples.
poppyfairy must be so amazing to snuggle your little booby monster in your arms.
Smithy wooohooo on your induction date. Thats so soon. Very exciting. Two weeks till you have baby Charlie in your arms.
Big hello to all the ladies i didnt mention
As for me, i am doing really well. Have been feeling brilliantly. No sickness at all just tired every afternoon but unfortunately i am at work so have to soldier on, no nanna nap for me! Looking forward to the 1st Feb to see the both munchkins again and also fly out on our lil trip.
Good Afternoon girls.
Persephone~
Congratulations on carrying a little boy.Its so much easier knowing.I plan on finding out and its funny because i have always been set on waiting til the "day" but after looking at the shops,there are NO nice unisex clothes.What happened to lemon,pale green etc.The only things available are bonds coveralls and how exciting are they? Even target had sold out of the 0000 and 000 coveralls in the white.aaargghhh. Its also easier picking names when you know.Do you have names picked?
Saph/Smithy~
Wow not long now.How exciting.I bet your both counting down the days.Best of luck.
Paula~
Your lucky that your not suffering ms.im still tired too but you sound like your doing really well with twins.Do you plan on finding out their genders?
Poppyfairy~
Robin sounds sooooo sweet.What a feed he had,..3am-8am.Amazing.Hope he settles into a better routine for you soon,so you can get some much needed rest.
Boc~
I agree with mitf.I have heard the same thing about accupuncture turning babies.Not sure how it works though but hopefully bub will turn for you.
Grub~
Its awful to hear that he has colic.Poor little chookI hope it settles soon.try gripe water.It worked wonders with Connor as a bub.Best of luck.Thinking of you and bub.
AFM~Well i am one day off my big 12 weeks.I have my first antenatal on Thursday (12 weeks 1 day) and get to see bub.As usual im getting nervous again...stupid me but kinda excited to reach the 12 week mark.Just need to see a healthy bub and i will be on my way.
I havnt put on any weight as yet as i lost my appetite and when i do eat its all healthy food such as fruit(endless amounts of fruit),vegies,crackers,toast,soup.Im trying so hard to force myself but it just makes me feel so off.Had my BP done at the local GP today (had to get a new referral for my ob (who WAS my ivf specialist and it was 90/60.Im normally 120/60 but came home and read that its normal for low BP in first trimester so that eased any worries.I was advised to eat some salty foods so i ate (forced,rather!) half a box of snakata roast chicken crackers down...eeewww.
My belly changes each day.mostly due to constipation and wind (TMI) but can feel the uterus now,about 3-4cm above my pubic bone.My stomach has always been very flobby since Connors birth and my ex boss used to say i looked pregnant even when i wasnt! notice she is an EX boss.
Well thats about it for me.
If i missed anyone,im sorry.Belly rubs to all.xx

Hello ladies, I hope you are all well. It's raining here, so I'm delighted although the hound is bored to death already (typical!). Poppy - OMG - 5 hour feeds?!! Your boobs must be deserving of a medal by now! Hope he settles down sometime soon.
Paula, mitf, wantbaby - and anyone else in the Under 20 weeks section... I'm going to have a quick rant. My lovely cousin who lives here has astonishingly got his girlfriend pregnant (he thinks he's a playboy) and we had lunch yesterday and she's two weeks more than me. And she's as flat as a pancake and I'm looking distinctly paunchy. I'm afraid my rather uncharitable first thought was that she isn't pregnant at all, but that's mean isn't it. But I can't see how you can be sixteen weeks and not show remotely!!! So you can tell me if I am being unreasonable, which I know I am. I know everyone's bump is different, but can it be soooo small? Or am I really eating too much??? I'm finding it increasingly hard to sleep at night, I wake up every 2 hours or so. It's driving me mad. And the dreams... they are crazy. Is it just me?
I loved KI, we were there for three days. Just a short propeller plane ride from Adelaide. It was truly beautiful **TMI** the lovely new nightie did the trick, overlooking the balcony and a turquoise view of the bay. That ought to shut him up for a few days
right stroppy bored hound wants walking, I don't think she gets that I'm "working at home" not here for constant dog entertainment... sorry for the me post. Everyone has done such good jobs on the persies recently I'm embarrassed to even start! DH away in Sydney tonight, Brisbane Thurs, then Delhi for 10 days on Saturday - he's missing the dogs first birthday. But anyway, tonight it's veg curry, DVD, box of chocs, dog on my feet. Lovely xx

poppyfairy mouse basket? is that like a cradle? it sounds so cosy. your little man sounds so adorable and snuggles oh I can't wait.
Smithyfor you hadn't heard from you in a while thought maybe you'd already.......
Paula bring on the 1st of feb for you too how exciting.
LondonMiss what kind of dog do you have? Mum has my brother border collie and he has no idea there is anything else in life but ball, walk and food!
ATM getting scared, there was goo! and loads of BH! and DH is convinced Sqeak is coming Wednesday! Now I'm getting scared!
Decided a busy me is a happy me so I've decided to make my own flash cards for baby. A is for Apple etc. I though if I make them up on the pc then colour them in I'll have something to keep my mind off of (gulp) what's to come!
Don't get me wrong I want to meet Squeak so much just a bit scared of the few hours of pain to come!
Hi to all, hope you are all having a great Monday!
LONDONMISS~ hahaha.Your funny.Regarding your cousins partner.I know a woman who was flat for the first 7 months!!! Really,you could not tell at all.she was very athletic,small build and had excellent stomach muscles.She was wearing the same jeans almost throughout her whole pregnancy.We used to think at first she wasnt pregnant too but 9 months later,there she was,a healthy baby girl.It was simply Amazing!!She was about a size 8 too and no one would EVER have guessed.
Im 12 weeks on wednesday and my bump is due to wind,constipation.My actual 'baby bump' is just above my pubic bone but due to lax tummy muscles i have always had a bulgy tummy.
I have been having crazy dreams too! lastnight i dreamt a friend came over to cook me a lamb risotto and cupcakes with cherry glaze.BUT firstly she rearranged my furniture,had her deceased father(who i never met)ice the cupcakes AND (get this bit..)She defrosted the lamb shanks (eewww)under the toilet so the overflow/leak would defrost them quicker!!! Are your dreams as crazy.i think im ready for the padded cell LOL

London Miss - everyone is different. Some people seem to pop really quickly and others hardly look pregnant at all. I think part of it comes down to how fit you were before hand and how tight your stomach muscles are. At 16 weeks I have put of 4 kilos (most of which is probably due to too many Christmas parties!) and don't look pregnant just a little chubby. I think the baby is just pushing out my usual little fat rolls. I am now making a conceited effort to watch what I eat more and I am looking forward to a few more weeks when I pop more and hopefully look more pregnant. I am having crazy dreams as well. I tend to forget them but when I first wake up am always amazed at what was going through my head!
Smithy - thanks. I hadn't heard of that before but I am sure your Ob has good reasons. Plus I don't blame you for being over it. You poor thing being sick for so long. At least you have your date to look forward to. I hope the next 2 weeks pass quickly.
Paula - glad to hear you are feeling well. I was disappointed to learn that the Bounty bag was mostly fliers. I had visions of samples galore when I first heard of them.
Green - You are brave shopping alone. I think I will be too scared to go any where alone in the last 2 weeks. Look forward to seeing if your DH's prediction comes true on Wednesday and I hope you have a quick labour!
Wannababy - Good luck for Thursday. I have my first midwife appointment Wednesday and am just as excited.
MITFaww sweety thanks for understanding my reasons on induction.
GREEN...MANY LABOUR VIBES COMING YOUR WAY HUNNY ALL THE VERY BEST WITH YOUR BIRTH ,YOU WILL DO GREAT HUN .
