Hi ladies,
Just finished one assignment and I thought I would reward myself by going onto the forum.. one more to go
Yay! Nicole, did they give you a picture of the scan?? I have been taking pictures (yeah took photos of the +HPT) and keeping a journal. Really hope that I could get some memory of my littel Ducky Junior at the 8 weeks scan.
I am currently doing a doctorate of Public Health and working at the same time... Don't ask me why but after so many failed cycles, just thought to do something to keep my mind active and.. thinking of other things beside being a mum... think I might defer next year though.
Good luck BG. Almost reaching the 12 week mark now... hopefully MS will be gone by then... I am starting to feel a bit queasy... not sure because I am generally run down or is it the begining of MS. I just feel full and after a meal (I've been eating alot!) I feel like burping and as if the food want to come out. I can manage to hold it down though... Is that how you feel?
Wow Shannon... what an awful weekend you had.. so close now.
AFM, feeling a little sick and tired. Had been having mid afternoon nap over the last two days. Don't know who I will manage at work though. Not sure if the sickness is actually MS because I am not throwing up as yet but feel full (as if I've got indigestion with no stomach pains). Went to GP yesterday with the hope of organising OB referral and a shared care arrangement. Didn't tell GP that I want through IVF. Do you think I should tell her? Anyway, she said to come back in 2 weeks for further testing and follow up. She scared me when she gave me info on listeria infection (you would guess that in doing Public Health I should know!). I know it generally but didn't realise how dangerous it is and that food left over night in the fridge could also be contaminated! I freaked out because I had been eating left over food in the past week!
anyway off to bed for me. Will try and find some time at work tomorrow for some more chats.

Evening All,
Hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend. Sorry I've been MIA but we don't have internet at my inlaws house and am ringing up my sister's mobile wireless bill..oops!!
Nicole- So glad the scan was amazing..I can't wait to be able to make out our little ones on the screen.
Shannon- Sorry you have had such a bad weekend, but you are doing such amazing job and you must be beside yourself with excitement now.
All my other friends...am thinking of each and every one of you. Going to get this internet organised so I can gossip lots!!
AFM- Scan again tomorrow morning. DH is going to be home, so it'll be the 1st time he has actually seen the twins besides our 1st photo!! Am excited to hopefully see the heartbeats tomorrow.
Night all
Hugs Bel

Kahlan - I too am quite wary of Listeria (outbreak in NSW recently - or so I am told). All you can do is follow the instructions.
I have stopped eating sliced meats (ham, turkey etc) although I believe that ham on the bone is ok.
For work lunch break - I have got one place that I trust for sandwiches and salads. I know that they re-wash the lettuce when it comes in and I have told them I am pregnant and explained my fears of Listeria - they are very understanding and reassure me that they take all precautions.
I try not to eat leftovers, but sometimes I can't help myself.
Avoid the soft cheses - even though in Australia the cheese has to be pasturised (unpasturised is the baddie you REALLY want to avoid).
Wash your hands, fruit and veges really well before eating them raw. (like HM said - the basics you would do anyway).
High temps will kill it, but storing at 4 degrees or below will not prevent it growing like some other bacterias.
And I really think you just have a bit of heartburn, morning sickness or indigestion - I don't want to scare you, but you probably won't know if you have been effected by listeria.
Try not to stress. I'm slowly starting to own the fear and let it go - Slowly.
