Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - March 2008

[Lenny]

Sorry folks, been a little unwell of late. Not much time ever to get on BB. Hope to be on the mend soon after a bit more surgery tomorrow.
Just wanted to say i am still supporting you all thru your much longed for pgs.
Shannon - dumb people need slapping - do it, and blame the raging hormones! You look after yourself, Carla too. It's a very tough time, after such a long time TTC.
Will miss you monnie, but totally understand.
Take care everyone else, I am reading your posts, but no chance to reply at the mo.

Hi ladies sorry I have been awol I posted 2 really long replies and lost both of them and then got angry and decided I would just linger in the shadows for a bit.

But today is huge I am considered full term I made it!!!!

Lenny-hope your feeling better and fingers crossed the surgery goes well for you tomorrow

Nic - hope you are feeling better also

Monnie - good luck with eveything and hope to see you again soon

Shannon and Carla - I hope you both start to enjoy your pg's, I know its hard I dont htink I really started to relax until I started to get the movements. And we all attract stupid people, pg women are beacons for them esp LTTTC'rs...it starts with them all telling us how fertile they are, followed by how many miscarriages they know people have had, to people who have lost their bubs after 12 weeks magic time; to now when I am surrounded by people telling me about their long labours and split you sideways pain stories....but whereas I used to smile, then walked away, now i no patience and just say how do you think this is helping me??? Get a big bat and start swinging

TL - Nope Im still at work 4.5 days to go and I am sooooooo tired but the room is finished, the car seat is in and I am soooooo hoping I at least get 1 week off to sleep and veg, then she can come when she wants. If I go into labour on Friday I will not be happy (well nearly not happy)

Only thing to report is as well as still going numb at night and peeing constantly, every now and then feel as if my fanny-bone (ok I know thats not the technical term but you will all know where I mean) is about to crack, it hurts so bad.....oh and feel like I have been kicked between the legs....hope that is a sign she is on her way down

Hope you are all doing well, big love to you all xxx

Yay Lis on reaching full term i have everything crossed you have a few days to relax before she makes her big arrival

Lenny - Posted in the other thread but hope everything goes smoothly today and you will be back home cuddling Liam in no time

Nic - hope the "something" turned out to be "nothing" and everything is going great with you

Hope everyone is going great and big to you all!

I am feeling a lot better after talking to the dr and spent Friday night with a friend looking at twin prams which made me feel a little excited. And went to a wedidng on Sat that had the most beautiful 3 1/2 week baby girl at and it made me so excited to think i will have two of those by Christmas. I just can't wait!

Hi girls, just a quick one from me. All is well, I just had an infection! not nice being told you have blood in your wee though lol! Anyway, have finished the anit biotics, and feeling so much better.

Lis, hope all is well with you, and woohoo for being full term.

Sorry for lack of personals, have been rather busy around here the last week or so. thinking of you all

Hi Girls,

Nic - Happy to hear that you are all well again. Hoping all is going smoothly for you & bubs.

Lismith - Congrats on full-term ! I get so excited to hear your personals as you are so close now. Its what I have to look forward to, no let me rephrase that, experiance in the near future. Gives me a better insight to what the body goes through. Sounds like she is getting comfy in your pelvis. Take it easy hon !

Shannon - My girlfriend had twins & toned her arms pretty quickly with those twin prams you are talking about. How exciting ! I guess like all of us, you will start to feel better the further you go. Take Care.

Carla - Hang in there. Your feelings are totally normal. Am thinking of you.

Me - Had appointment yesterday and all is well. Jett is a big baby and he is putting on the weight. Am still having trouble walking but had physio which has made a difference and so have the pelvic floors which I should have been doing but got slack. DH has been so good of late doing household chores and grocery shopping. So happy right now.

Anyway, hope you are all enjoying where you are at.

HI ladies, well were getting close now.

Had my ob appoinment yesterday and even though she has dropped, she isnt engaged yet.......have to say i was a little disappointed but now im a little relieved. I finish work tomorrow and I have mixed feelings about that aswell. On one hand it will by awesome to just concentrate on relaxing, sleeping and getting all my eggs in row (also have an assignment to finish oopsy) but im kind of dreading not having a distraction
The doctor told me to stop now, so I guess I have timed it well as I have started to swell up like a balloon in the afternoons

Also have had awful painful cramps, so guess I am getting ready. 1st had period type pains 2 nights ago and during the day, then last night had such painful wind and stomach spasms, think bubs was crushing my colon and had to get dh to get me out of bed to go to the loo, as I couldnt move.....hum maybe being able to go back to bed during the day will be good.

Belly rubs everyone, hope you are all feeling good xx

Howdy and belly rubs to all!
It has been a while yet again since I last was here, but jsut wanted to pop in and say g'day, and wish Lismith all the best for the impending big day. You'll be great hun! GOOD LUCK!

I hope the rest of you are well. All's well with me. Just starting to get a bit uncomfortable, but nothing major. Apologies for lack of personals, but will try to pop back in at a time when I'm more awake (waaaaaaay past my bedtime right now).

Take care all. Chat soon.
