Jo How exciting for you hun to be feeling your little princess kicking. I'm feeling my boy kick lots now and I love evry minute of it. I just can't wait until dh can feel him too. I find if I lay on my back I can feel him lots and we play little games with each other lol. I feel him in a spot and put my hand there and push in a little he'll kick in the same spot again and when I push somewhere else he'll move there and kick lol.
Monnie Have you found the belly belt useful? I have been looking at getting one for a few weeks now but am a little unsure. I went looking at mat jeans yesterday and they were so ugly and very expensive $110. I was also looking at the ones from target but they only had one style there and I really didn't like them much.
I'm feeling rather uncomfortable today. I think bub has pushed everything up under my right ribs and my indigestion is really bad too. Thank goodness for rennie.
I hope you are all having a great weekend.

Hey Mako
I've found the belly belt brilliant!!!
I've been able to remain in my pre-pregnancy jeans as a result...
Admittedly, my pre-pregnancy jeans have some stretch in them...but I just use the small belly belt and just make sure I wear a skirt or belly tube over my zip (so you can't see the gape!!!)
One thing to keep in mine though is how you are carrying...I'm very much in front...so I think that's part of the reason I've been able to keep using my pre-pregnancy jeans...
Anyway...best buy of my pregnancy, I think!!! I'd offer you mine...but I need it for a few more weeks yet...you may be able to get them on e-bay...otherwise I got mine at Target for about $30
Know what you mean about being uncomfortable...except mine's at the other end...baby is using my bladder as a trampoline!!!
Take care!

Mako - I was wearing the belly belt but still found my jeans uncomfortable & couldn't find anything in target, pumpkin patch as they were all ugly,uncomfortable & bunched up at the sides.
Then I found a shop called mother & me & the jeans I found are soooooooooooo comfortable (on the tag it says mu. mu maternity), the elastic is sewed at the back so you can't tell they're maternity jeans & as you get bigger you just unpick to the next bit of cotton, they are fantastic & I wish I had bought another pair.
They also had some fantastic comfy tops as well.
The jeans were $80 but well worth the money, hope you can find something soon.

Today I find myself having to focus on my words of the other day...
Today I am pregnant, and everything is ok. Today I have reached 8 weeks and 4 days, and that's the furthest I've ever been, and it is amazing.
Last night I had red bleeding. I freaked. DH called the clinic and spoke to the doctor on call, and it appears today I need to try to arrange to get in for another scan with my FS as a matter of urgency. I'm not looking forward to calling the clinic myself.
When I was at acupuncture on Thursday night, I was given a moxa stick and shown which points on my big toes to use it on to help reduce uterine bleeding. I did that last night, and everything has come back to brown spotting. I'd saturated the liner I was wearing yesterday, changed to a pad and nothing has made it through to the pad at all, even over night. There's been no cramping, which is some relief. But I've also noticed a significant reduction in my morning sickness over the last two days. It could just be the fact that I'm now eating normally again and can manage a mug of warm milk before bed which always saw me have a better morning before.
The thing that is worrying me most... I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow for the start of term 3 - and I'm really not sure I should.
Sorry for no personals - feeling very self-absorbed and scared right now. Focussing on trying to keep myself calm.

Oh BW...so sorry to hear about your last couple of days...you poor thing!
Like you said, as much as possible, focus on those fantastic words you said a few days ago...but I can only imagine how difficult that is...hang in there!
Good news about the brown spotting...hoping that it's a fantastic sign that your little caterpillar is growing beautifully...
Can you at least take tomorrow off? To me...sounds like you have more than a legitimate reason...and hopefully you can book in with your FS as soon as possible...
What is most important at the moment is you and your little one...
Thinking of you...praying for you...take care!

BW - just checking in to see how you are feeling - have you had your scan??
xx sending you much love
-
hiya lou - BW had an update in her journal earlier - her Scan is tomorrow at 11.45 i think...
-
Scan is booked for 11:45 tomorrow. Work will be so impressed with me taking the first day of term off! :rolleyes:
I'm just so relieved that they can fit me in.
Of course, I'm sure it's just that this child is into attention seeking behaviour already. Spotting has eased off heaps today, virtually stopped almost. Freak me out enough to get a scan booked, then behave nicely... Of course, it could just be the moxa sticks and cooking my toes, but it certainly gives me more confidence that things will be ok.
ETA: hehe, BG's just too fast for me!
BW
-
wasn't sure if you were online hun! am concerned about your state of mind, so being helpful where i can!
glad thing are looking a little better now - take care
BG takes herself back up the ladder to start painting again now so BW can answer her own messages....LOL
-
At this point in time, I'm feeling pretty ok. Being on BB helps - I've been reading a few articles and threads here and there, and they are helping me stay positive. I am sticking with one hour at a time, though... not getting too far ahead of myself.
Thank you to everyone for keeping an eye on me :grouphug: means a lot to me.

BW Sorry to hear that you've had a rough couple of days. I'm wishing you all the very best for your scan tomorrow. I'm sending you lots of little "behave caterpillar vibes" lol.
Monnie and Jo thanks for your advice regarding the jeans and the belly belt. I too am carrying more to the front so maybe the belly belt will be the way to go.
Nothing more to report today except I'm still feeling rather uncomfortable. Will try and have an early night tonight I think. Hope you all had a good weekend.
-
Hi BW, I have just PMed you...take care hun...I agree with Monnie, take a day off...you and your baby are the top priority...
-
Hey BW, hope your scan goes well today.... take care hun
Jo, amazing thing that you are able to feel the little one....
nothing new girls, tomorrow I will be 9 weeks. Yay for me.....still having slight nausea here and there but all good.
-
hope everyone is doing brilliantly today...at least Sun is shining...
Just want to pop in to check how BW is going with the scan this morning...thinking of you....
I had a very relaxed weekend and m/s seems have no regularity at all, apart from morning, it could creep in mid afternoon, after dinner...not too severe but enough to keep my hand on my mouth all the time, the only thing seems ok to get down my throat is 'Mango Magic' boost drink....
how is everyone else doing?
-
Hey guys
BeiBei...glad to hear you had a relaxed weekend...well done! I used to find my m/s would start to creep up on me as soon as I got a bit hungry...
BW...hoping the scan goes fantastically...take care!
Ltl Panda...yayay on 9 weeks tomorrow...excellent!
Mako...hope you had a relaxing weekend and weren't too uncomfortable...
Jo, Sazz, Keen (hoping I haven't missed anyone)...hope things are going well...
I'm 36 weeks today...baby is really beginning to grow and grow and grow...getting me very used to waking up 3-4 times a night for toilet stops!!! Thankfully, during the day, if I can catch a 20 minute nap, I'm fine!!!
Big night tonight...my DH has is last (of 3) doctorate recitals (he's a musician)...normally I get incredibly nervous but as tonight's is 'jazz', it's a little mellower...it will be such an amazing relief when it's over!!!
Overall...feeling pretty good...off to get a haircut today...figure it's my last for a little bit! Ob. appointment on Friday so I imagine I'll find out then what's happening...
Have a great Monday, guys!
-
monnie, gees hun, 36 weeks.... so happy for you. Have fun tonight... hope it all goes well. I am already waking up at least twice through the night for the loo, cannot imagine in week 36....
.Beibei, yay for relaxing weekend, I was on the same boat... did nothing. I am glad you have m/s in a wacky way, just because its something you were so worried about (lack of symptoms)a few weeks ago.
Bw, looking forward to your details on the scan.
-
WOW, I've missed heaps, hopefully I don't miss anything...
BW - sounds like things have improved since your initial scare, I hope today goes well and all is fine with your little bub. We're all thinking of you and praying that you're ok. I saw Leah on Saturday, she seems really well now, but sounds like she went through a rough patch. I'm only going to go every 3 weeks or so now.
Jo - no, we're not going to find out the sex of our little one - we decided that we'd keep it as a surprise. So glad to hear you've felt your little girl kicking - isn't it the best?! I just love it!!
Mako - I hope little bubs moved and gave your ribs etc a break! I can't imagine how hard it must be when you're huge!!!
Monnie - how's the bladder going?! You must be finding it very uncomfortable - not long to go now!!! wow, 3 or 4 toilet stops a night?! wow... I'm getting up once or twice and finding that tiring - I've got a lot ahead of me! LOL. So excited for you though - 36 weeks!! Enjoy your hairdresser appointment. And have fun tonight!
BeiBei, glad to hear you had a relaxed weekend. m/s does that doesn't it - sneaks up on you!! I'm with Monnie - mine came on whenever I was hungry - which was always!! Eat or drink whatever gets you through it - I think that's all you can do.
Hi Ltl Panda, Keen, Sazz :) hope I haven't missed anyone...
I had a busy weekend. DH & I went for a lovely dinner on Saturday night for my b'day and then Sunday we had lunch and drinks with friends for my b'day. Birthday is tomorrow... I have an Ob appointment and will be having dinner with my family which will be nice. Exhausted today though, the weekends really tire me out. I'm feeling my little bub a lot these days, lots of kicks - I think we might start calling him/her Thumper. It's wonderful though, I love it and DH loves it too.
Hope all goes well BW.
