Welcome, Rach!
Bel, so sorry to hear that there has been even more bleeding. I hope that the bed rest is all it takes to get your precious bundles here safely.
TL, yes, quick appointments like that are VERY normal at this stage. They don't do much more than check blood pressure, quick scan, then discuss test results or send me for more at this stage.
I have my next appointment tomorrow... Looking forward to it, and hoping to get some answers as to when we can get this little Munchkin OUT!

hey everyone
just a quick update, i will be back for personals later
we went in for the scan yesterday and as soon as he put the probe in, you could see the sac which was full of babyand you could see the little heart beating away.
we feel totally blessed and you cant wipe the smile off our face
we told fs that we wont be back, after the way he treated us there is no way we will be back, he didnt even sound happy when he found the baby in the sac!!! and this is a man that helps women fall pregnant for a living!!! dp wants to put in a complaint about him.
anyway i better go, i want to thank every single one of you for helping me through the last few days, i know it probably sounds silly for me to say this, but i love you all and i truely thank you for all of your help
be back later to do personals
oh and before we go, our little one has been offically named, we have called it bubba G and its our little fighter, even the doctor gave up on him/her but "bubba G" proved him wrong lol
ok back soon
thanks again

M2C, what an enormous relief! I guess your amazing little Bubba G is just a slow starter, but it's such an enormous relief to know that you saw a heartbeat today. Don't blame you for ditching the FS - I would too!
TL, I tend to like blunt in my doctors - all my doctors have varying degrees of bluntness, but I know I'm the kind of person who will put her head in the sand and ignore things if my doctor doesn't push things home, so it suits me well.

yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!
M2C: that is just fantastic and good on you for stnading up to that FS, it really isnt good enough. I am just so happy for you bigfor a H&H pregnancy!!!
BW: good luck with your appointment tomoro, i know your really keen to get bubs out, but enjoy your last few weeks of pregnancy its such a special time.
FG: sorry havent got on much but huge congrats on your BFP what an awesome chrissi present. As for BT they can start doing funny things around this stage and may stress you out more, hang in for that scan im sure it will be all good.
TL: Hope your finding some time to put your feet up and enjoy putting your tree up tonite!
Bel: i am soo sorry you are still having a hard time, its really unfair and i totally get what your saying about finding it hard to relax when your still bleeding. It is such a great thing that your ob is so positive, because they always air on the side of caution and for your 2 little munchkins still to be partying away, its not effecting them, just there poor mum. I really hope your ok, take it easy and know we are all here for you!
Rach: welocme and congrats wishing you a H&H pregnancy!!!!
Miss C: i will be waiting to see your birth announcement, how exciting you will be meeting CB soooo soon (if you havent already!!)
Numa and Devon: how are my bellybuddies going, can you believe 34 weeks?????
Chez: welcome and congrats!!!!
To all the wonderful ladies in here big belly rubs hope you are all well.
AFM: nothing exciting to report i have just under 4 weeks till DD makes her appearance which is a little scary to be honest, although im really hoping she'll come on 31st of dec so we can get the baby bonus !! Been having sooo many BH and crampy period like pains so you never know although DS was 2 weeks late and had to be induced. Just enjoying the peace as i know whats ahead in the next few monthes. Anyways chat soon xox

M2C - that is wonderful news! And good on you for standing up for yourselves. I hope you find a lovely OB who will support you through your pregnancy.
TL - my visits are about the same length at the moment. I start going to fortnightly appointments after my 28 week check up on 5th Jan... so excited about being able to see bubs more often!
Bel - I'm so sorry to hear that you have been through yet more stress! It is such wonderful news about how your little one's are going though and I can't believe you are 12 weeks tomorrow! Hooray!!!!!
Hi to FG, BW, Rach, Nixon, Miss C, HM, Chez and all the wonderful ladies that I know I have missed (sorry!)
AFM, well in 3 days I will be down to only 100 days left! That is very exciting. I have also made it past the point that my sister had to deliver her son. Feeling heaps of movements and feel like my belly is getting larger by the day. Checking my belly daily for stretch marks, but so far so good (not that it would be the end of the world if I get them). We went baby shopping on the weekend and put everything that we need on layby at Baby Bunting. Got a great discount and also a VIP discount card for future purchases. I was so exicted about the VIP card - gone are the days when a night club VIP card caused me the same sort of excitment! I guess I really am ready to be a Mummy! So we will pay off the layby over the next 2 months which means we will be able to pick everything up in February. Also have organised to hire baby capsule from the council (sooooo cheap) for 6 months.
So all in all I am starting to feel more and more organised!

M2C that is fantastic news, I'm so very happy for you
Only a quick post for me ladies but will catch you all latter.
AFM...we hit 16 weeks today and feeling great
Registered User
M2C - that is fantastic news!
not a lot of personals from me today - have a fuzzy head and can't get my head around who is where. i think i read one post three times before it sank in!
had GTT yesterday - ended up having to lay down for nearly an hour - was feeling so damn ill - i'm one of those lucky people that suffers for DAYS after GTT's. have felt like crud ever since - i just can't seem to stabilise myself on the ms front - it's awful - but hopefully we'll not hear from the Ob and i won't have to worry about it for another 10 weeks. i've really noticed that the sugar hit both me and bubs hard - i guess automatically restricting sugar intake myself over so long with the PCOS has paid off
on the gremlin front - i think it will be a looooooooooong time before gremlin is given any form of sugar after it's born - it was going NUTS last night! i've been used to gentle movement, feeling rolls and little kicks - nothing where i've been able to define legs from hands - well, last night, i went to bed (exhausted) thinking we'd crash out - not happening - as soon as i hung up from DH and rolled on my side, i started getting rather hard little kicks - not painful, but enough to distinctly feel two little legs going ballistic - and just when i was starting to smile at how sweet it was, i got a punch a couple of inches away - and that was the pattern for the next hour - lots of little kicks, then a punch a little way away. i couldn't help but smile! was telling DH this morning that it's no wonder pg women are always tired - you have to sleep for two (or so i like to tell him) but when things first get specific like that, you lay awake in amazement - and then after that, the kicks get too hard to sleep through, until you have bub - and then you never sleep again!

Bel- my friend...hang in there....it must be so hard to be vaguely calm with the bleeding...but take heart from those fantastic scan results...wow 12 weeks ...big hugs

Hi everyone
M2C- that is fantastic news
Bel - you poor thing, how scarey for you and now having to be resting so early in your pg. I hope you don't get too bored! But if it is the best for you and your two bubs it will all be worth it in the end.
LNB - I hope you and your pooch have a lovely restful and calming Christmas and I hope you get to speak to DH lots on Skype. Will you be spending Christmas day with family or friends?
Hi Rach - welcome and congratulations! I hope you have a H&H pg.
Hi Janie - almost 100 days to go. How exciting for you and you are sounding so very organised to have put everything on layby and organised the bub capsule. Now you can put your feet up and relax while you can
Hi BG - sounds like a no sugar policy is definitely the way to go for you and bub! And I love the idea of having to sleep for two- I can't wait to use that on my DF!
Hi BW - moving house? You poor thing and so late into your pg too. I hope you get lots of help from family and friends to move and you just get to sit on a comfy chair with a clipboard in hand supervising everyone!
A big hi to FG, TL, Nicole, Scooby, Possums, Miss C, HM and everyone else!
AFM - went to the GP yesterday. She was lovely - we can have as much or as little monitoring as we want, she will do whatever we choose, which is nice. We got our b/t results back today. HCG is excellent at 4076, which is what is expected for 41-44days apparently, and we were 36 days. So we're pretty happy about that. We have decided to delay our first scan until after the holidays, so it will be at the 8 week mark to allow Gizmo time to develop so we can see him/her a little better. Our GP has suggested we starting sorting out an ob sooner rather than later as there has been a baby boom here in Canberra apparently. But we have decided to wait until after the scan results, and the same with the next set of b/ts.
Anyway, must go - am STARVING!
Take care all and lots of

Hi Ladies - so much going on in the last few days, I'm sure I won't remember all of it!
M2C - what wonderful news, you must be thrilled. I too would ditch that FS.
Bel - so happy to hear your bubs are doing so well but you poor thing, I can't imagine how stressful it must be to going through what you are. Hang in there and know that you have 2 strong little bubbas. Take care of yourself.
Chez67 - great result on your levels and support from your GP
BW, BG, Nicole, Nixon, Kahlan, Scooby, HM and everyone else that I am sure I have missed, thinking of you all and sending big belly rubs.
AFM - all okay, ms comes and goes along with the tiredness but apart from that feeling good and only 6 sleeps until our 12 week scan !
Take care,
LNB

Hi ya girls...
M2C- Hun you are a trooper...that is just wonderful news. i am so so pleased for you and good on you for saying you won't go back. What a twit that guy was...seriously he should a parking attendant or something! Ha...sorry to the parking attendants out there. LOL Great news hun, i am thrilled.
Nic- Yeah i think there is a far bit of rivalry between the two camps but to be honest i have seen the course notes for both and they are pretty similar. I just try and stay neutral as they both have such good results and speak to different people...IYKWIM. I will be using a bit from each as well as some cds from Natal Hypnotherapy...they are good too..but a UK thing i think. I am so pleased you got so much out of it.
Bel- Great to have you back hun ...and get to bed...rest and take care. I am so pleased that everything is ok, I hope everything is going to be ok for you.
Scooby- Not long now babe!!!
Rach- Welcome in hun...bought time we saw you. Your levels are great hun and I am so pleased you can start to really enjoy the journey now. Love to you hun.
BG- He hee re the no sugar for bubs for a long long time. How amazing for you to see that reaction and what a blessing. I hope you get better sleep tonight hun.
To all other lovely ladies with bellies....hugs and rubs.
AFM- Had a bit of spotting this morning but i am sure it is nothing serious. My cervix might have been aggravated, or i have been sneezing and coughing and blowing my nose all night...so it might be that. I am not too worried but about to go back to bed for a while to rest. I have a shocking headache...was doing so well and hubby brought home a cold...nice one love..thanks for that. I hope bubs will be ok.
Love HM xoxo

hi everyone,
Sorry for keeping disappearing on you guys.
M2C that is great news. I am very happy for you.
Bel- I had a friend who experience the same thing but gave birth to a beautiful boy. Don't stress too much hun (i know it would be hard)
Thanks BG - I think my spotting is related to DTDso we are going to abstain until the 12 weeks mark then then decide then. wow, it is great to hear your bub causing havoc... so sorry about the ms though... I know exactly how you feel. Mine is so bad that even when I have eaten sometimes it doesn't help at all and I still throw up.
HM - wow you strong woman. I bow to you. I just had the scan at 10 weeks and I want to see the bub again
Belly rubs to everyone else. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
DH is taking me on a relaxing holiday so will see you all in the new year.
Registered User
oh HM sorry I missed this post. Glad that it is not serious. I was told by my SIL (who is a GP) that if you pass the 10 weeks mark then small spotting should not be a concern because most m/c during the 1st trimester happens between 5-10 weeks.
Registered User
Kahlan- Oh don't worry we are all still good, just a bit to keep an eye on really. Yeah that is what i am hoping...that we are home and hosed! It was pink is after a No2 sorry TMI...but my cervix is quite low and can get upset sometimes going to the loo. It is the first and only time i have had any blood, but for now i am not worried. Will go back to bed and try and get rid of this cold...which also might be upsetting things.
I am thrilled for you babe that everything is going well...doesn't time fly! Go forth and enjoy that relaxing holiday...what a lovely hubby! See you when you get back hun.
Love HM oxox

M2C - so happy for you! great news....
