not a big one from me today - either MS has come back to the same force it was back when i was around 8 or 9 weeks, or i've got a nasty stomach bug!
just wanted to pop in when Chez was mentioned. from memory, she is getting married very soon, so may be flying under the radar organising things for the wedding...
BG, hope your stomach bug has settled and you're feeling better.
Janie and TL, you girls are so close to the end! Must be exciting to know you'll have a little bub in your arms within a month!
Bel, are you still in hosp? I read your blog the other day but didn't have time to reply.. it must have been very scary. Every day is a step closer to your little ones being strong enough.
Kelly, hope MS doesn't hit you too hard. It is hard to keep your exciting news under your hat until you can tell everyone.. but the wait is worth it - by the time you start telling people, you've got a few months under your belt already!
Hi to all the other girls. I hope you're all well.
I had another ob appt yesterday to check on how things were going. The blood mass has reduced, not completely gone, but it's smaller than what it was and the babies are now much bigger than the blood so the ob is feeling more relaxed about it all and has put me back to monthly appts. Still no guarantees but feeling more relaxed than what I have in the last 3-4 weeks. Fingers crossed
Kaydee, happy to hear things are calming down for you. Going back to montly appts is a good sign.
BG, I'm with you by the look of it. I've had nausea back for about a week now. It's not constant like in the beginning but for a couple of hours after I have a meal I feel really dodgy. Have been getting lots of niggling cramps too.
Movements are getting to the uncomfortable stage now. Sometimes feels like an electric shock through my cervix when he head butts in that area! Not much fun! My belly moves constantly. I can just sit here and watch him roll around for ages. Sometimes still hard to believe we'll have a baby in about 6 weeks. I feel so unprepared!!
Hey Ladies, have been around more reading than posting but am glad to hear that everyone is going well although it seems that some MS is back of r some of us
AFM, 27 weeks tomorrow!! So it's the start of the third Trimester....seems like the second tri has flown past.
We saw OB last Friday and am now seeing him every two weeks. Doing the wonderful sugar test next Wednesday so I hope that goes well.
Good Luck Nicole - it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Kinda just tasted like cheap lemonade and you only have to drink 300ml. Hope it all goes well for you..
Kaydee- Yep, I'm in hospital til these beautiful 2 arrive. Hopefully that will be another 13 weeks if they don't decide they want to meet us earlier!! Just wanted to let you know I had a big pocket of blood as well when I was having my big bleeds. The pocket slowly just got smaller and smaller until it eventually disappeared. There was no sign of it at our morphology scan at 18 weeks. Stay strong..you'll get there my friend.
Nicole- Congrats on hitting the 2nd tri..how very exciting. I'll be peeing my pants with excitement when I get there!
All my other lovlies...sending you a big hug and thinking of you all.
Thanks Bel. I'm really hoping there's no sign of the blood by our 18 week scan.. it's booked for 3 weeks time. It's such a relief when the ob doesn't look at you with a grim face! Thinking positive thoughts
Gotta love hospital food... not. You'll be a pro at ordering something decent off their menu after being in there for 13 weeks! Thinking positive thoughts for you too
Kaydee- I'm hoping also for you that the pocket has vanished at your 18 week scan. Keep thinking those positive thoughts. With regards to the food I'm getting to be a pro...
Here are some hospital food tips I have worked out so far..(well at my hospital anyway!!)
-You can get a vegetarian menu and order anything off that for lunch or dinner.
-You can ask for eggs for breakfast if you are a fan (pity I'm not!)
-If you want a milkshake for a treat you can ask write in on your order sheet
-If you just feel like a sandwich you can ask for one and specify what you want.
Ok I know, it's very sad that I know these things and that they excite me, but what's a
girl to do??!!!
Kaydee, no not working. Haven't worked since November. Have been lucky enough to be able to stay home, get plenty of rest and enjoy being pregnant.
Bel, when you're in hospital for that long you have to find out all the inside info! lol Mmmm, milkshakes!
Midwife appt this afternoon. All good. Measuring 33 weeks, head definitely down which is the important thing. Next appt in 2 weeks which is the big appt discussing the birth and going through my birth plan. Saw a different midwife today who was very supportive of the kind of birth we are wanting, and very interested in calmbirth so I am seeing her again in 2 weeks.
Second antenatal class this week. Was a bit horrified last week and some of the things we were told. Not looking forward to the rest of the classes.
Hello. I am pregnant after nearly eight years. Doctors say i may face complications. so i like to know what is it that i can do to avoid complications?
So happy to be joining this thread. I'm still in a daze, really I feel like I'm in a dream.
I've been feeling a little dizzy at work, very forgetful and a bit of a cry baby. If someone says anything cute, sad, happy, nasty I feel tears welling up. Is this forever.
The sick feeling is pretty much gone atm which is good althrough I'm sure it will return. I am soooooo sleepy. I fell asleep for 45mins on the bus this morning I just couldn't keep my eyes open.
Ladies, how long does the fog last? I haven't told work of course but I'm so afraid being a teacher I'm just going to drop my bundle and not know what I'm doing. I'm already writing on my hands in my diary and everywhere just to jog my memory.
Funny I know I'm pregnant but I'm stil nevous, the test next tuesday to confirm my HcG is rising, the scan on the 23rd to see the baby.
Then I start thinking longer term things like work when will I stop, who will stay home? DP and I have been discussing but not concrete, also the fun stuff like when to start buying stuff.
Ok I'm sounding like a nut case but I can't help it.
Welcome Lalitearns and Greenslw. Please send me your EDD when you are ready and I will add you to the ever expanding pregnancy list (helps us keep track of who is PALTTTC) you can find it on Page One of the thread.
Lalitearns - Not sure what complications you are asking about. Is it your GP or Ob or FS who is mentioning complications?
Greenslw - I didn't get much in the way of morning sickness, but the tiredness I can relate to and the list making I can relate to that too. It got much better for me around 15 - 16 weeks when I started to feel much more like my old self. In the early days I think it was as much lifestyle change as it was the hormones that threw me off my game. I really didn't feel like me. I still make lists - but it's for more long term planning than simply to get me thru the day.
and to our new members so sorry girls I have been MIA from this thread for awhile.
I have been busy settling into Maternity Leave and Making up jewllery stock to send to the photographer so we can get it up and listed on the store.
DH is creating me my own store and domain too very excited about that option
I do hope you are all well little Miss C has learnt how to morph body parts outside of mummy looks wierd but so cool. DH is going away till Monday so will be BB addicted for the next few days and you wont get rid of me
Hello to everyone, I hope eveyone is traveling okay.
I am fine except for the extreme tiredness. I am considering taking the good ol Aussie sickie becasue I am really struggling at work. Not complaining though!
Other than that, i have somes tretching sensations on the side, sort of under my ribs. And a dating scan today, so that will be exciting!
Welcome lalitearns and greenslw. Congratulations on your pregnancies!
TL, I can't believe the shapes Buddy can turn my belly into! lol It's so weird to watch isn't it? There are times I can't feel the movement, but can see it. Movements have definitely changed from feeling like kicks to more like rolls and stretches. I can't wait to see your new store. I'll be on the lookout for a breastfeeding bracelet.
