Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - June 2008

[Shannon22]

Hi Ladies

Arielle how exciting not long left now! We eagerly await your news Belly is starting to expand rather rapidly at the moment!

Welcome Scooby and Congrats that is fantastic!

BW - Glad your appointment went well and you have jumped that 9 week hurdle! Do we have a new name yet? Or is it still parasite?

Nic - Lol at your show bag! Not long left now for you, your DD must be getting very excited.

Hi to everyone i missed! We have had so many new mummy's lately we are going to have to do some recruiting!

Everythings going well here babies are mostly behaving causing me a little bit of grief last night and this morning, and heartburn has become my latest pregnancy accessory!

Hi girls
Glad to see some posts in here i was wondering if i should be posting somewhere else?
Thank you all for the welcome
Dont know if it helps but with DS i had shocking heartburn and use to take liquid gaviscon it was the only thing that would settle it (oh and sleeping on 2 pillows)
Arielle: i tried everyting with DS curry, nipples, rasberry leaf tea, walking, driving over speedbumps (funny i know but worked for DMum) ENded up being induced when DS was showing no interest at all of being here (to comfy inside you know boys )
Me: still hangin in there been so nauseaus no vomiting but just feel sick all the time although its such a reassuring thing that i almost dont mind!
Monnie: yes a tad paranoid will be to at least 12 weeks ive had 1 MC and 1 ectopic and although i know this isnt an ectopic im still so nervous, hence no ticker yet. I go see the ob next monday so hopefully another scan and i will start to feel abit more settled.
Well good luck girls most of you seem to be almost there, so exciting that you get to meet your little ones soooo soon
BW: hope your going ok havent heard form you for awhile

I'm mostly ok, Scooby. Heading into nuttiness because it's been about a week since my last scan, and I'm still waiting until Tuesday for the next one. I thought my OB was mad for making me have two scans between the first and second appointment, but I'm loving her to bits for it now!

I'm also incredibly busy with reports, exams and marking - early pregnancy fatigue doesn't go well in that mix!

Hey Scooby, it has been a little quiet in here hasn't it? have you tried the seabands for the nausea? I used them and found them helpful, they didn't stop it completely, but helped make the sickness a little bit more bearable.
I tried the mylanta for my heartburn, but it has been that bad that it makes me feel like I'm going to be sick. OB gave me a prescription, but told DH to fill it as I would probably get lectured on using it during pregnancy. He said it is fine to use though, and it will be the same medication they give to me before my c/s.

OMG, my feet have swelled up again today! They are so sore from all the swelling. DD is going to rub some cream into my feet tonight, little sweetheart! I have been having some major BH's today and last night,( at least I hope they are BH's lol) it is actually starting to scare me a little, especially since we won't be near the hospital until next week!

Ooh, BW, so good to hear from you Looking forward to hearing all about your next scan. Will that make you somewhere around the 10 week mark?

Glad to hear your good BW i know what you mean about the scans but they are great peace of mind. Yes the tiredness definately sucks i forgot you were a teacher so i can just imagine the paper work Good luck for tuesday will be thinkin of you
Nic: havent tried seabands but at this stage im willing to try anything so thanks for that!
I never got BH's with DS in must be such a weird and awesome feeling, enjoy your foot rub tonite, im sure its well earned.

Scooby, the sea bands certainly do work a treat. I'm also having a lot of success with Blackmores morning sickness tablets. If I remember to take them at night I have a much better morning.

Hey there! Still here!!

Scooby, I found the seabands helpful too. I also found accupuncture incredibly effective. Hope you get some relief soon, but do be reassured that for MOST people it does get better, usually as the 2nd trim begins.

Nic - hope your foot rub was nice! Please send her my way once she's den with you. LOL!!

Shannon - bet your belly's looking bewdiful!! Has milk helped with the heartburn at all? I find it great, aswell as the Rennie tabs.

BW - those extra scans are very reassuring for sure. Yay for your ob!!

Went to my ob today, and all is well. He didn't even do an internal. He says there's no need to "pick on baby," just yet, as is confident labour will start on its own some time over the next week. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease let him be right. Thank goodness he's on call this weekend, so I don't have to cross my legs for a couple of days.

Belly rubs all 'round!

STILL HERE!!!
Moonstone, hot curry, DTD, and long walks not helping thus far. I guess baby has other plans. Who am I to interfere!!??

Have a great weekend everyone.
