Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - March 2008

[mako]

Welcome BW. Its great to see you've plucked up the courage to dip your toe in lol. I wish you the most amazing pregnancy hun.

Numa Please try to relax hun. I know its a hard thing to do espacially after LTTTC and a loss but I swore that positive thinking really did help me in the long run.
Alot of people don't get M/S until the 6 or 8 week mark. The tender nips and enlarged BB's and frequent snacking etc are all very good signs that everything is coming along nicely. Take care sweety and all the best for the next B/T.

Traceylee Your up next hun. Can't wait to see your B/A. Have you asked someone to do it for you?

Nic How did your appointment go? Did you and DH survive the wait?

Any news on Lismith?????

Hi to everyone else. Hope you are all doing really well and those bellys are growing nicely. It sure is great to see lots of new faces and can't wait for you to join us in the parenting after LTTTC threads

Hi girls, just an update from me. OB appointment went well. We were the ones running late by about 15 minutes, so we only had to wait for about 10 minutes luckily. Eventually got DH back to my parents for some sleep around lunch time with instructions to wake him at 3.30 so we could go shopping. He bought the pram that he has been checking out, so he is one very happy daddy.
OB felt my tummy and said bubba doesn't have much room in there! He also called me a "skinny", which I told him was a nice thing to hear from someone who doesn't have to say nice things about me. He realised he hadn't booked us in to the hospital so he did that as well, which now means we are third on his operating list that day, but he said it may mean we don't need to be there as early.
Checked out my scar from DD and said it has healed very nicely for an emergency c/s and i think he is going to cut over it again, but he said it won't be so big this time round. Told us if there are any requests to let him know and he will try to accommodate us.

We made it home and I now have a lovely cold, and DD is still home from school as well.

I have to see a GP next week for a checkup, as OB is away, then we see him the week before our c/s on the Thursday for a final checkup and a blood test as well he said.
Ooh, almost forgot.. he gave me some meds for the heartburn I've been having, but told DH to get it for me as they would probably give me a lecture about taking it while pregnant!
We have our hospital visit/interview next week as well.

Will drop back later for some personals...

Hi All,

Well, have some news !

Had my show Sunday morning and leaked all day eewwwww. No contractions but called the hospital at 5pm and they told me to go in. They put the monitors on me for heart & movement and all was fine. Branxton Hicks were noted but not strong enough to be contractions. Test was done to see if there was any amnio and that came back neg so waters havent broken but definately had the show. Was sent home at 11pm last night to a continual brokens sleep.

Confused now as everyone has a story. Some are saying labour starts within 24hrs of show, some say 3 days, some have said they went 2 weeks. The phone & mobile has been running hot all day and I am so disappointed it didnt happen. I really hit the gutter. I was so excited thinking that my waters had ruptured and so upset when they said that they hadnt. Just means Im still playing the waiting game. Have my OB appt tomorrow which I am not looking forward to cos I feel stupid going in there when it was nothing but a show. Oh well, back to 'ol faithful lounge & dvd's.

Winter is here now so try to keep warm & well.
