Hey Danyelle - I can't get your link to work. If you repost, I'll start typing now and then copy and paste into the correct thread.
But Smithy :leap::confetti::leap: finally she's out!!! What a superb BB day - two babies! (well I know you might not have actually given birth on the same day but we found out on the same day!). Hope all went well, and hope you both put pics up soon :clap:
Loving all the belly shot's ladies. I am looking forward to having something bigger to show off...
Ella's Mum - Congratulations on the arrival of Emme Scarlett... what a lovely name.
Smithy - Congratulations to you too on the safe arrival of Charlie. Your induction date obviously wasn't meant to be and your body knew when the time was right.
Green - Good Luck Hon you must be next. I hope it's not long and you have a quick labour!
Lise - I can't get your facebook link to work either. I hope you enjoyed your dinner.
AFM - DH and I haven't had a holiday in over a year and want to take a babymoon. We were thinking about going to Japan for about 10-14 days. I thought it would be a clean, orderly and easy place to explore with the excellent train system. DH is now getting a little worried that I will find it to tiring as we tend to be quiet active and do a lot of walking while we are away. He also worried about something going wrong with the bub and us being in a foreign country. I think it's only 2 weeks and I am feeling pretty good know at 16 weeks. We will probably travel while I am 24-26 weeks. DH is now suggesting we head up to FNQ for a bit of a driving holiday and then maybe 4 -5 nights in a resort or on an island. I guess I have 2 questions:
1. How tired were other ladies at 24-26 weeks? Could this be too much?
2. Has anyone had the swine flu vaccine? particularly the ladies who have recently had there healthy babies. I think the swine flu is a bit of a hype and would normally give it a miss but am think maybe I should consider it if we go to Japan.
3. DH thinks we should go to Japan next March with an 8 month old..... I was thinking this might be the harder option?
Hi LondonMiss,
Sorry everyone, here's the link again. Hopefully I got it right this time !

Just check it myself it works :D
Thanks
CONGRATULATIONS SMITHY!!!! Wow 6 pound 10..what a little sweetie. :happyforyou::hooray::hooray::cheer:
Danyelle~ Tried to reply but the link was broken?
Just a quick one for me tonight.I have a headache due to the heat today but wanted to post quickly.Had my first antenatal app today and everything looking great! Bub was moving around alot then turned his/her back to us!!! The sonographer however was soooo irritating.She basically rushed us through,didnt measure bub,took a pic of the back view which is really blurry.She did however say bub looked good and the hb was great at 160.We heard that thumping away like galloping horses and did pick out bubs feet and hands.Bub really didnt appreciate the scan,moving away and turning around.(poor bub)
So 12 weeks and 1 day today and a healthy active baby.im sooooo pleased to have made this milestone.We are telling my whole family on sat at my nans 80th so will be lots of fun seeing everyones expressions.cant wait!!
Hoping everyone is well.Must go and lie down to ease this stupid headache.xx
Hi,
I am so sorry I can't understand why it won't work for you.
Another way is at the top of the page you will see the Forum Information
click on Pregnancy After Long Term TTC (it is underlined)
It will take you to all the threads that are in that forum
Then scroll down until you see my thread:
PG After LT TTC - What did you do differently ?
Every little bit of information helps.
Thanks again everyone
Okay, i'm trying the link again here:

If this doesn't work, well I don't know how to fix it so you'll have to wait till I find a computer genius :)
Wantbaby - glad your scan went well though not so good the sonographer wasn't very pleasant. Still, at least you got to see your little one moving around, always exciting! And enjoy telling everyone - it's so much fun, I loved it!!
Mitf - I would think you'd be okay to travel that far along but then i'm not there yet so might be wise to listen to others' advice. I'm sure you'll enjoy wherever you decide to go!
Smithy - yay, congrats! So happy for you that Charlie is out in the real world!!! Hope everything went okay and you and DH are enjoying time with your princess.
Right - i'm off to bed. Dinner was lovely though we had terrible service so we won't be going back there for a bit! I'm now very tired, this is way beyong my 'in bed' time, I definitely need to be lying down now.
night all,
lise
Danyelle - it seems to be working now. Hope that helps.
Mitf - wow Japan. Wonderful place to visit I think - although being veggie, I wonder if I'd be ok. But it strikes me it would be a very child friendly country. Two friends of mine just got back from there. If you want more details, happy to copy and paste from an email from there into a pm? They said that language was an issue outside the main cities, which would be my main issue with healthcare if you had a problem, I think it would be very high tech on the plus side. I think it would be on the list of places I would go to pregnant.
wantbaby - just make sure your grandmother is sitting down when you tell her! Don't want her to have a funny turn with the excitement!!
Ella's mum well done! Welcome Emma!
Smithy Yay to beating the induction!!! Welcome Charlie! Cannot wait for pics!!
Green -
Wantbaby - we had a sonographer like that too. We had to actually ask at end of scan if we could try and see his face. Which she huffed at and gave us a twenty second view! The best sonographer we had was one who used to be a midwife. They tend to be more interested in the actual baby and not just the technical side of their job.
mitf - Japan is my favourite place in the world!!! DH and I regularly go there. I speak japanese though so it makes it a bit easier. Last time we went we hired a car and drove from Tokyo to the southernmost island to visit my host parents down there. However even if you don't speak Japanesee the Japanese are very hospitable and they have everything set up for comfort. You go into a restaurant and get looked after straight away (hot tea and towels in winter and cool water and cold towel in summer!) japan is the last place on earth with good customer service (in fact excellent service!!). Hotels are good (although I would recommend looking for Onsen spa hotels, usually only Japanese go to them so they are cheap and a real cultural experience with the hot baths etc......look for the little hot spring symbol on a map and there will be at least two or three there.) The Japanese love babies so you will have no trouble there. Japanese children and babies get treated like little kings and everyone you meet will love to see a western baby! I wish I was going!!! Can I come as your guide!!!??
Green - labour vibes!!!! I hope those BH are like mine and are actually real labour (my midwife dismissed mine right up until she saw the baby's head!!!!) and they are doing most of the work of cervix dilation so you don't have sooo long in the labour ward. My advice...you know what your body is doing....don't listen to them. I knew I was in labour and I knew my pains were doing good work but I listened too much to a person who had no idea what MY body was doing. Remember your body is doing what it needs to do to get your baby into the world. Regardless of what some medical person calls them. BH or contractions your body is getting ready for your baby's birth!! Each pain is a step closer. It is happening!!!!!
AFM - just come out the other side of a....wait for it.......24 hr feeding frenzy!!!!! Yes my little man has been on the boob continuously for exactly 24hrs. I think there was a break of about half an hour and maybe give or take ten or so minutes for nappy changes etc but literally he would go on, come off after twenty minutes and then cry to get on again five minutes later. I think it was the 10 day growth spurt. Good news though...my midwife is happy with me and bubs and he has lost the right amount of weight and then gained the right amount and she has asked me to give a breastfeeding demonstration to her antenatal class on Friday. Schnim and I have been practicing our demonstration technique.........brush top lip with nipple...wait for open mouth and shove it right in!!!!! Not sure the antenatal ladies want to hear about the 24 hr feeding frenzy though!!!
MItf - forgot something about Japan. The medical care is toprate and it isn't one of those dangerous places to go health wise IYKWIM. If you would have normally given the swine flu vacc a miss then I wouldn't take it just because you are going to Japan. Personally I wouldn't think there would be more risk there than in Australia as it is a first world country as well. God I am jealous!!!!!
Lise I am walking distance from the shops, but not that silly ;) Hope you and DH had a great dinner. Hope it was nice and romantic
OK we're having a wee discussion. Try hourly!
:cheer: yaya for Smithy and Charly :cheer:
Thanks Kelly
Danyelle I'd love to say I did something different but not really, I was more relaxed, had less on, but that's about it. :goodluck:
Mitf questions:
1. not tired at all it was like I wasn't pg
2. No vacine for me but if I was going OS I would
3. and 8 month old on a plane :o you'd be brave.
Wantbaby drink loads of water! headaches are not fun. Glad you app went well and sorry your sonographer was rushing you. that's not nice. Congrats on 12 weeks
Poppyfairy thanks for your story, I love the idea that every little pain is making labor easier! OMG 24hours and you're posting! you are super woman.
ATM OB yesterday was friendlier which was nice, I've mad another appointment for next Thursday and then we'll discuss options :doh: so more waiting. More regular BH last night but they stopped again.
It's cooler today but I'm stuffed only 4 hours sleep last night, it took me an hour of relaxation to get back to sleep! I seam to have one great night sleep one very awful! what's with that?
Anyways here's hoping I have a Friday night baby. But I'm feeling ok about waiting today, maybe I'm just so tired I don't know what I'm thinking.
YAYAYAAYAY SMITHY AND COOP on the arrival of sweet Charlie... this one is better out than in i say! oxox
wantababy - congratualtions love!!! do you feel relieved? next time i'd just keep asking question and not let the sonographer bully you out of your appointment. and then complain when you are paying your $180 bill! blow em, if they have overbooked the appnts that's not your problem and you only get this chance to see this bub once! have fun tellign everyone! make sure you video it so you can giggle at it later lol.
omg poppy! how are you even able to type! and so cheerfully!!
hope all you lovely girls are well and Green - c'mon pop that kid out already! (jokes, jokes, don't send daggers me way!). But hope it happens soon. and ikwym about not wanting to go back to the OB, i kept hoping our next visit would be in the hospy while pushing the child out!
all is well here. Ash has slept for 6 to 7 hrs through the night for the past few nights! is it wrong to say i love him even more now because of that lol. The wind has settled down (i think) or maybe i'm just better at dealing with it. Thanks for all your hugs girls.
will keep popping in hoping to see more and more announcements soon.
ox
Congratulations Smithy on the arrival of baby Charlie!

Morning ladies, hope you're gearing up for a lovely and relaxing weekend! DH and I are starting to look at new cars today to accomodate the Chicklet since both of ours are 3 door hatches, so that could be fun if we happen to agree on anything...!
Saph and green - sending both my strongest "eviction" vibes and hope you're both feeling okay. Unless green you did have a Friday night baby???
Don't know what is wrong with the Facebook link but will see what I can do.
Now, very important (not!) question here - when did your belly buttons pop?! Mine is definitely getting shallower and wondering when to expect the big event!!
Right, I'm off to finalise my pirate costume for a 2yr old birthday party :)
