Wow What a Busy Night in Here :)
Nicole - Bio oil helped me with the ictchy boobs the tummy will start too soon
Nixon - :hug: hunni we all have these moments and you have a lot on take one day at a time sweet it does seem to get a bit smoother at times :lol:
Miss C - so gald to hear CB does not need the isuline :cheer:
HM :hug: from us as always :)
Mon :hug: for you too and Crick and Crock
Me: having a minor freakout I will not make it to 36 weeks for work now but I will get there
TL - Is 36 the kind of max. they like you to work til? And then you have to get a medical cert. to work any longer than that? I'm working up until the 17th of April (week 37) - it seems like forever away.
I think we need to breathe and take it as it comes. If you don't think you can work up until week 36 then you should be able to get your dr. to help you out with a med. cert. surely. I think we just have to not be afraid to admit that we can't do it all and to ask for some help.
(HA - all that coming from the Dymocks-panic-attack-crazy-lady)
Hooley Dooley Nixon, there is a lot going on for you right now hun. I can reassure you that I have had a friend so Calm Birth...which is quite similar to Hypnobirthing and she loved it. She found she had the most wonderful birth experience when her first was a bit the opposite really. The second bub with calm birth techniques was born at home with her daddy catching her, water birth and midwife onside, very beautiful, powerful and an incredible experience for all. She was on the biggest high afterwards. So i hope that helps you hun. Love the comment re the bot bot...my huge fear too hun. But like scooby (i think) says, breath the bubs down...don't push and make sure to prepare. Oh an the other thing years ago i used to go into book stores, see pictures of women giving birth and leave crying and so upset. Hubby wouldn't be able to talk to me for hours after...i would be in such a mood.
Nicole S.. Hun i can swear by organic almond oil...soaks in nicely and great for stretch marks. I am loving the stuff.
Hey TL...hugs to you two too hun. xx
Hi everyone..just back from a lovely week away and wanted to wish you all well...glad to hear some of you have had exciting scans lately!
bel- sorry for the scare and stress you've had...hope you are OK..thinking of you xx
Hi Girls
Possums: so good to hear from you, hope youre keeping well and taking care of yourself the hol sounds like a great start!
HM: gotta love DH's the things they find funny :rolleyes:
TL and BW: if theres anything ive learnt it is the show will go on, if you need to finish work do it, your health and santity is worth it, with DS i worked up til i was 39 weeks luckly DS made a late apperance or i so wouldnt have been ready! It so tiring esp. ebing teachers i know this is such a busy time, can they even get you some help?
Nic: you sound so like me usually like everything done the way i want it, but youve got alot more to focus on at the moment ! Remember that so much of how you feel is ruled by hormones and its perfectly natural. I cried this morning cause Rolf Harris was playing white boomers on sunrise :doh: WTF !!!!
Nicole: love the bio oil too, although if it gets warm i find it can make me itchy too, i sometimes stick it in the fridge (in hot weeather if we ever get any more) Congrats on 13 weeks!!!
Miss C;: you are truly amazing, you are going through so much yourself and still take the time to cheer us all up, thank you so much! They do tend to push most women being induced into an epi, because it is suppose to be such a hard fast labour so i would say thats there thinkin in getting the aneth. to contact you. As far as all the other stuff can you get a doula or birth support person in the UK? i reckon someone like that would be ideal as you can talk to them about what you want and work out your birth plan and then let them do the hard work so you can enjoy the birth of CB. i think the biggest thing (and im no expert struggling with this myself) but just have a plan in mind, be educated, know your options and allow some room from change if the situation arises, then be totally confident in what you have come up with and you then know you have done the best thing by yourself and CB and thats the best anyone can do.
:lol: BTW i have become the wicked witch next door, i actually lock the door (as they would let themselves in) and pretend i cant hear them knocking, have moved DS play room down the back of the house as well so he doesnt get upset. Drastic measures i know but i really had to do something and suttle hints werent working!
Numa: great to hear from you! yes ive heard mixed reports on the epi no but it cant do any harm right! Remember things are getting abit crushed in there now so movements wont be as vigourous as they have been and also when your busy you wont notice them as much. If you get too worried have a cool, sugary drink eg oj and lie down for half an hour, i think the rule is 10 movements in an hour that includes little wriggles! Chocolate also works and tastes sooooo much better!!!! (as does shortbread :lol: sweet mince pies, ice cream, boost juice:rolleyes: emmm im hungry!)
Hi everyone
Bel - how are you doing hun? I'm so sorry that this scary thing is happening to you now. But it's great that your dr is hopeful, and also that they've found a cause for the bleeding. I hope that you're doing OK on the bedrest and that the bleeding has cleared and bubbas are OK :hug:
Pink - welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy! Wishing you a healthy and low-stress 8 months or so.
Scooby - glad to hear you're getting some peace from the kids next door! I can't believe people are being so nosy about your birth choice. I wonder if you could tell them that you have a medical condition that means you have to have a c/s, maybe placenta previa, something not as personal as having to talk about what happened during the birth of your son, and what it might mean for you in the future. It really isn't anyone else's business, I'd hate to get all those questions. Very rude.
Possums - I hope you're doing OK hun, glad you had a nice week away.
TL - you'll get there! I understand the freakout though. I have changed my end date three times now, and each time it's been extended I just figure it's only a couple more weeks, and I get through them. Now I've just go three weeks to go.
Nixon - sorry you're having a rough time right now. Those pg hormones can do strange things. I hope that once you have your baby here you won't mind if you don't have the car you want, or the right coloured floors. I'm finding decisions really stressful too, I haven't bought a pram because I get too stressed out every time I think about it. I hope you feel a bit better soon.
Nicole - congrats on 13 weeks! Glad to hear you're starting to feel better. I hope your cat's OK.
Miss_c - thanks for your support hun :hug:. Great to hear that you don't need insulin and are managing the so-called GD well. You certainly don't need to decide on epidural now! Even if they do want to induce you, you don't necessarily need an epi to get through it. My mum was induced with a drip with me, and she had no pain relief and got through it OK (that was 33 years ago though, I'm sure there's a lot more pressure to have an epi now). It's entirely up to you on the day though hun, they can't make you have it. My Ob has started making sounds about how big our baby is as well, and I'm concerned he'll want to induce early because of it. It is really hard to know what to do - I sympathise with your feelings - I'm torn between wanting to do what is the safest for my baby and wanting to avoid unnecessary intervention. It's really hard, especially when you feel no one's giving you unbiased advice. I'm not sure what to advise you, I guess I'm trying not to worry too much about what might come - the last few weeks of pg and the birth are so unpredictable. Virtually anything could happen, and plans can change in an instant. My plan is to deal with things as they come up, and of course always ask the questions. If induction comes up for me I want to know what are the risks of not inducing, can we delay a bit longer, and whether we can start with some less-invasive induction methods - not go straight to the drip. The main thing I'm concerned about is that the u/s estimates of size are supposed to be so unreliable, but that's what they'll be basing their recommendations to induce on. It's all very confusing. Best of luck for your scan, I hope that CB is looking to be a really good size and they can forget about all this induction stuff.
Numa - yay on being so close to finishing work!! That will be a huge relief. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about with bubs being a little quieter. Sometimes they have quiet periods, and of course things are getting pretty tight in there now. When is your next ob appointment? The regular scans are very reassuring.
Mon - congratulations on 10 weeks! And on seeing your little babies' hearts beating away, that must have been amazing. Sorry to hear you've been sick too, I hope you feel better soon. It's bad enough having morning sickness, let alone a cold on top of that!
HM, BG, BW and anyone else I?ve missed, big :bellyrubs: I hope you're all doing well.
Not much news from me, am finding it really hard to get a decent sleep and everything was really pulling and hurting last night. Been getting some really cool movements - hard, bony bits that feel like hands or knees rolling across my abdomen. Only 10 more work days after today - I can't wait! I'm feeling like my baby's arrival is imminent, and have to keep reminding myself that I still have 9 weeks to go.

big day for me today - DH got home at 2.30 this morning, so i had a very disturbed sleep. ate brekkie too late to squeeze in lunch before driving to the Doc this arvo, so by the end of the appointment i was feeling pretty ordinary. appt went well. BP is still about the same (read that as borderline high), and i now have a snug referral to a consultant Ob. when doc said about referral, i asked if there was an Ob closer to home (nearest hospy is 30k's, the one i am going through is 60k's - based just on the doctor) - so she called - earliest appt with local hospy is late feb, earliest with the one she deals with is Dec 10 - so decision made! i think we got the early appt cos the doc rang for appt - i'd say they keep some spots clear for those that are referred as opposed to those that choose to go through ob care (if that makes sense). anyhoot, i mentioned my concerns about travelling 60k's in labour - the doc said to not worry, most likely, given family history of diabetes, epilepsy and high BP, i'd be induced early, so a nice calm arrival at the hospital! i guess i'm a little saddened by maybe missing out on a spontaneous arrival, but at the same time, if it's in gremlins best interest (and mine) then i'm going to do what is suggested. i know it's not the "perfect" or "ideal" situation that i'm sure most dream of - but ultimately holding my baby is more important to me than the mode of arrival...
BG, I will probably be in the same boat being induced early due to GD. I was a little upset when I first realised, but at the end of the day we're going to have a baby and that is the most important thing. In the meantime I am trying hard to control the GD so it may not come to that, but I will be prepared for whatever it's going to take to get our little boy here safely.
Seems that leaving my job was good for my BP. 4 weeks ago mt BP was 145/85, so getting on the high side. I finished at my job on Friday, and today my BP is 110/70! Obviously that job was a health hazard I am better off without.
ooh, sounds like a good improvement Megan!
my BP is around 140/90 today, 140/85 last visit. not loving that it's so high but then, both my parents are on BP meds for high BP, and 3 of my four grandparents were before they passed i think... hmmm, damn family!
forgot to mention earlier - didn't get actual numbers, but NT results gave me a " very low risk" for DS, which is a huge relief. i have an aunt with a disability that, although not DS, has very similar characteristics to downs phsiccally (esp the thickened skin at her neck) so i'm very relieved!
Hi Everyone -
What a busy day ! So many posts today, there is no way I will get all the personals right so I am going to send good thoughts, prayers and :bellyrubs: to everyone and vow to get better at staying on top of what is going on !
AFM - had 1st appt with OB this afternoon and it was great. DH and I both love him and feel very comfortable with our choice. Scan was all clear, could see little bubs heartbeat as plain as day. Bub is measuring big at 8W5D and I am only supposed to be 8W2D but all good. There were no signs of the spotting and he said not to worry about it as it is common and not to freak out unless it become active. I feel much better just to see the bubs heartbeat again and after 2 bouts of spotting to have 2 good scans. 12 week scan is booked for Dec 23rd so a great Christmas present to tell our family.
MS seems to come in waves during the day but I read someones advice of eating small amounts often and that seems to do the trick. As soon as I feel quesy I have some dried fruit or nuts (also trying to help the major constipation problem, sorry for TMI) and feel much better.
Hope everyone is doing well,
Take care,
LNB
Evening all,
Another selfish post...sorry but so much going on in my head at the moment.
After my big bleed on Sat night, I have been so afraid of losing these 2 little babies. I have left my bed really just to shower and go to the toilet. Am trying to do all I can to help these little blessings stay nice and comfy.
We went back to see our FS today and had another scan. Thank God both babies were nice and comfy and their heartbeats nice and fast and strong. Still have a really small pocket of blood there, but outside of the sacs. Yesterday I was still losing old blood as FS said I would, but today really nothing...just a slight dark tinge on the toilet paper.
FS thinks that things will be ok now...
So I am now officially a house bum at 8 weeks, 5 days pregnant! No amount of money is worth risking these 2 little lives. I'm pretty much on bed rest until I make it through 12 weeks, then probably light duties for the remainder of the pregnancy. I will do WHATEVER it takes to protect my babies.
I just truly wish that DH and I didn't have to go through this. We have already lost so much of our innocence with IVF, TTC and our previous 2 losses. I know thought that I am blessed to have the twins chose us to be their parents.
On the positive though..MS is here. Am feeling nauseous all day and night. AND the BB's are still ridiculously sore. WHATEVER is thrown at me...I can handle, as long as our babies are ok.
Thanks to everyone of you for your kind words and for having me in your heart. TL, I have been thinking of you through every step of this scary last few days. I keep telling myself that if you and little Charlotte can get through a scare like this, then so can my 2 babies and I.
Hugs all and thanks once again. Will try to catch up tomorrow.
Bel
A couple of exhausting busy days for me - thought I'd just check in with an update.
Had appt with FS for 7 week scan yesterday. Found out that HCG hasn't been "behaving" at any of the tests in the past three weeks (although last week was the first time they said anything about it being lower than they would like :wall:). I've been preparing myself for the worst after my chat with the nurse last Thursday when she mentioned that they'd probably find a blighted ovum where sac and placenta develops but no baby. I had a rough afternoon on Thursday until I could debrief with DH, but haven't lost any sleep about it since. My defense mechanism for handling this outcome is that I can't lose something I never had, it is just an inconvenience that has taken up a couple more months of our TTC journey. No tears from me ... not sure if the tough gal attitude is really the best one but that's my choice at the moment!
Anyhow ... FS reviewed my HCG results and said she was unlikely to find a bub on scan and was talking about a curette ... then she did the scan she was surprised to find there was actually a heartbeat, BUT not anywhere as fast as it should be. We're in complete limbo ... next step is another scan in a week to see how things are progressing.
The FS and nurse were both very tight lipped ... not saying anything more than "let's see in a week".
So ... for now I'm "a bit" pregnant and not sure if I want it to succeed or just hurry up and fail so that we can get on with TTC a "good one" ... after such a shaky start I would worry through the whole pg that the baby might not be "normal" but we'll just have to see what the future brings ...
Thinking of you all xoxo
Rachel - I'm so sorry :( You are sounding incredibly strong learning what you have and I think you're doing wonderfully. I hope the time goes quickly until the next scan and that there are some proper answers for you either way instead of being in limbo. Take care.
Bel - very pleased to hear that the bubs are doing well! And the m/s - despite how yuck it is - is a great affirmation that everything is well. I admire your determination to do whatever you can to ensure that your babies are continuing to do well - I hope that everything continues smoothly now and doesn't take too long to get to that 12 week mark, and then continues even more smoothly from there.
LNB - great that everything is going well, despite the spotting! That's the best news and so reassuring for you. It will be a wonderful Christmas present to announce your pregnancy after your 12 week scan! Fantastic!
Megan - due to my mother having GD with all three of her pregnancies, I've been trying to avoid GD by really being relatively strict with my diet during pregnancy too. I can say that although I've been diagnosed with it a couple of weeks ago that so far it seems to be allowing me to avoid insulin and just control it with the diet - I hope the same can happen for you too. And I agree that it's important to be prepared for whatever may eventuate in getting our babies here safely (I feel like that's something I'm trying to do more now). Really pleased that your BP has headed downwards - sounds like your job was just far too stressful and it's a good thing it's finished!
BG - my BP was similar to yours in the first trimester - and it really started to come down after the m/s subsided and we starting heading into the 2nd trimester - it's now usually around 120/70 and has been lower during the 2nd trimester - hopefully as the physical and mental stress of the m/s and upchuck phobia subside (and I am still hoping this happens really soon for you) you'll see a change in your BP. Also, as your blood vessels dilate during the 2nd trimester under the influence of more hormones you can also see a drop. Glad that you've got your referral to the OB all sorted, and that it's soon instead of February! I'm about 50km from the hospital I have my appointments through and where I'll be birthing and was worried about labouring during a long car ride, but it seems less of a concern now too, for the GD stuff and induction that's being talked about at the moment. I think that's why in my last post I mentioned that I'm struggling to feel ok about the possibility of induction and possible associated interventions - because I am sad to have the possibility of spontaneous labour disappearing. I find that thought hard to reconcile that with the thoughts that I really want to do whatever is best for CB and myself at the same time, and actually knowing what that is when you receive conflicting information from antenatal teachers and OBs. And it's silly again, but I think I did have expectations of what I would like my baby's birth to be like, and I'm trying to let those go and just go with the flow much more. And I am taking the words you said "ultimately holding my baby is more important to me than the mode of arrival" into my consideration of everything as I work through different thoughts. Thanks for sharing honestly how the thought birthing your baby affects you :)
Devon - Thanks for your support, hun. You've hit the nail on the head for where I am in my head at the moment - "I'm torn between wanting to do what is the safest for my baby and wanting to avoid unnecessary intervention" - especially as I'm reading and hearing different things from different people/sources (that unbiased advice!). It really is quite confusing. And I think what you've said is spot on - planning to deal with things as they come up and being open and not having too many expectations of what will happen in the last couple of weeks is what I'm starting to try and do more. I don't think I intended on having expectations of how this would all go (i.e. birth) but as everything has been going along so smoothly until a couple of weeks ago, you do start (and you're encouraged!) to get a birth preferences/plan going, and then you start thinking about what you would "like" to happen. I think I'm just going to try going with the flow as much as possible. Only 10 days of work is awesome! You're getting so close now! The bony squirms across your tummy are pretty cool, aren't they? As you get used to them, you can really start to know what is what - knee, foot, bottom etc. - hours of entertainment! And hopefully a distraction from the discomfort ;)
scooby - Unfortunately we can't afford a doula/birth attendant over here (we're very tight financially at the moment) so DH is going to have to do it all :D, but I have up until now been really thinking about birth preferences, but trying to recognise that it's important to be flexible with those plans. I agree with you - being educated and aware of all the possibilities is exactly what needs to happen and I've been doing, but unfortunately it's also leaving me confused as I am looking at so much information, all pushing different angles and agendas. I think asking more questions is the next step, and keeping mind I can only do, and will only do what is best for CB and myself in the end. How silly that you've had to lock your door to keep the neighbours kids out?! Don't their parents have any consideration? I think that's far outstepping the bounds of what's neighbourly, and I'm glad that you've got a solution to it now! Hope you're feeling well, hun.
Nixon - Hi, we haven't met before! Great advice - breathe and take it as it comes! I might try doing that a bit more too!! Hope the classes starting on Wednesday and really useful and that you enjoy them. Good luck!
TL - what made you freak out about finishing at 36 weeks, hun? Did anything happen? Hope you're ok now :hug:
Nicole - congratulations on 13 weeks! 2nd trimester now!! With the itchy skin, I found that wearing just a nighttime pregnancy bra - really breathable (and not as warm as you think) and just wearing that alone when it was especially warm at night - really helped and offered support to my stretching skin, and I've also used Bio oil too.
HM - thanks for your advice, hun. I really appreciate it. I agree - I'm going to ask more questions at the OB appointment next week, and really make sure that I feel the most informed possible and understand all the reasons and risks as they are suggesting various things, so that in the end I can feel comfortable and assured of what is happening/what I decide as being the safest and best thing for CB and me. Although it's confusing now, with the advice here I am already starting to feel that I need to trust the process happening and combine that with trusting my instincts about what is safest for my baby and me. Thanks for your thoughts and for helping me to see that I can trust myself a little more as well as trust those around us caring for us.
Hope everyone I've missed is well, and big bellyrubs to you all.
Miss C :)
P.S. I hope no one minds the huge posts I seem to generate every time I write - please let me know if it bothers you at all, and I'll try and keep the waffling to a minimum, or a least break it up some more!
Bel, my thoughts are still with you Brave girl...you have incredible strength. I am sure everything is going to be fine, the drs sound very positive.
Rachel, what a blow to deal with...being is such limbo like that. I hope you are ok hun, rest up and take care of yourself. Do what you need to, to get through. I hope that little baby sticks hun and you have yourself a little trooper.
LNB, so thrilled for you that you have foudn a great ob and the scan went well. Loving the fact that the ms is starting to come on! LOL...nice isn't it. I am happy for you hun.
Scooby...good on you hun for being the wicked witch next door...hee hee so funny.
Hi and love to everyone else.
Miss-c, seems we posted at the same time....
Good for you hun on feeling that inner knowledge you have. You will find the right thing to do. I am so pleased for you hun. Stop apologising for your posts you dag...chat away, you are always so thoughtful and loving...bring it on.
Love Hm xoxo
*knock knock* Can I join in?
Hi girls, I am currently 5 wks 4 days pg after almost 3 years of ttc. We got lucky on our first FET cycle, after an unsuccessful IVF cycle in September.
I'm at the stage where I still can't believe that I'm finally pregnant, and waiting to feel ms or something that confirms it for me. I'm sure once I do get ms (if I do that is) I'll regret saying that, but I just don't feel pregnant right now :)
:hello: to everyone, I look forward to getting to know you all! :bellyrubs:
Alloy :welcome: :cheer: on the BFP
Sorry for the lack of catch up at home with the cold that DH decided to share
Alloy- Welcome..Hope you have an amazing pregnancy.
All my other friends..thanks for your support. It means the world to me.
AFM..am so scared. Had no blood..not even old blood for a couple of days, then tonight some old blood when I wiped. Have a little bit of pain again. I just want to fall asleep and wake up when everything is alright and I know for sure my 2 precious little babies are going to be ok.
Sorry for not catching up with you all personally. Am in a bad place right now.
Hugs Bel
Welcome Alloy...CONGRATULATIONS babe and welcome!!!
Bel, Oh hun, i hope you go to bed and wake up all better too hun. I feel for you and i really hope this clear up soon. The dr said there was a little more there so lets hope this is the last.
Love Hm xxoxo
Congratulations Alloy! :clap: So glad you've joined the thread here - you'll find the support and understanding for what you may be going through your pregnancy so helpful.
Bel - hang in there, hun. It's so scary, and you're doing so well. Just remember what the doctor has said to you about further bleeding, and what HM has mentioned too. Just got to take one day at a time. I'm thinking of you.
Bel - Is there anything that might help? Like Acupuncture or something? I don't know. I'm just trying to think of something to do IYKWIM? Sometimes the worst part is not being able to anything.
Are you going for another scan soon?
Take care and try to hold onto the knowledge that those tiny bambinos are strong and your body knows what to do to keep them safe. Trust your babies and trust in yourself.

Hi Everyone,
Welcome Alloy - I've been following your TWW journey - congrats on the change of thread :-).
Rachel - Are you ok? Have you had any more news or are you still waiting?
Everyone else - hello, budha belly rubs, happy vibes happy vibes.
Real quick this morning sorry again for no personals. So busy at work and this thread is bursting at the seams.
DH & I had our first Calmbirth class last night. Wow - super excited about this. The techniques are so simple and based very much round science (in particular biology and the human body - so DH was stoked that it wasn't a load of airy fairy BS). Breathing, visualisation and trusting that your body knows what to do. Still got 2 more classes, but dreamt last night that I birthed my baby exactly the way I wanted to and my husband was there and supporting me in a way that was valuable to both me and the baby.
The class also teaches about the physical and emotions connections of the body - ie: if you get angry it can manifest in the body as a headache, when you are worried it can manifest in a stomach ache etc. So in saying that, my baby is learning all about emotions based on how I am feeling and if I fear labour then that is going to pass thru to my baby.
Anyway - just wanted to let you know I am feeling much more positive and in a weird kind of way looking forward to the challenge of labour and knowing that I still have a few months to practive the techniques and prepare.
Have a great day..

Spot on Nic...well done you. That is what it is all about. It is really great that these sorts of things are being communicated in a way that can reach everyone. It all make so much sense hun and you are on the right track to have a beautiful birth. It is nice knowing what your body can do if you stay out of the way hey!! And one thing i have found great is know the way the muscles of the uterus work etc. Your bubba is learning from you right now and fear can be so debilitating.
Proud of o=you babe...tell us how the rest goes.
Love hM xoxox
hi lovely pregnant ladies! just checking in on you all and following your journeys and sending you the best
Bel- I am thinking of you and sending you big hugs...perhaps acupuncture would help at this time? or other relaxation techniques...it must be very stressful for you and I send all my best wishes to you and DH and those two little blessings of yours
Hi Everyone,
Wow it has been busy in here, so sorry if I don't do personals to everyone today.
Bel - Honey I was so upset when I read your post, but it sounds like the doc knows exactly what is happening and that those little one's of yours are nice and strong and doing well. Of course I know that is easy for me to say when I am not going through it. Know that I am :pray: for you and your babies and here for you should you need someone to lean on :hug:
Hi Possums - So good to hear that you had a nice time away. Hope you are well xx
Nixon - the classes sound awesome. We are just doing the one "huff and puff" class in Feb next year through the hospital... I'm hoping that it will give me enough guidance to have a good birthing experience!
Congratulations Alloy on your BFP! I too fell pregnant on our first FET after a failed stim cycle. Hoping you have a H&H pregnancy and welcome to our very busy thread!
Rachel :pray: for you at this very difficult time.
Hi to Miss C (and welcome back we have missed you), HM, TL, Scooby, LNB, Megan, BG, Devon, Nicole and anyone else I have missed because - WOW - it is busy in here!
AFM - everything is going along nicely. I am feeling really good at the moment apart from a little tired due to a very active night time baby (getting me ready for things to come I think!) Also been having some very vivid dreams that have been waking me up! Apart from that am a little anxious as I am coming close to the time that my sister had to deliver her son due to pre-eclympsia (she was 24 weeks and 4 days along). So will be making sure I get a thorough check up at my next OB visit. I am sure all will be fine, but there are some thoughts that there can be a hereditary link in whether you will get pre-eclympsia or not. By the way, my sister and her son are doing really well. He has been home for about 5 weeks now, but that was after a 17 week stay in hospital. Seeing what they had to go through was heart breaking and I would not wish it on my worst enemy.
But enough of the sad stuff! Hoping you are all well.
Janie xxx
Hi Everyone -
Bel - my thoughts are with you. Take care and you've got strong little bubs there.
HM - hope you are doing well.
Kahlan - haven't seen you in a while, hope all is well.ang
Alloy - Welcome and congratulations! I didn't have any pg symptoms until 6.5 weeks so hang in there
Miss C - your posts are not too long ! I love reading them :)
On_Trak - hope you are doing okay and sending lots of prayers to you for your scan next week. Take care of yourself.
Nixon, Janie, BG, TL, Nicole, BW, Scooby, Mon, Devon - Hi and :bellyrubs: to everyone.
AFM - MS seems more noticeable during the day now, still eating little bits often and that helps. Apart from that, feeling okay but wishing that our 12 week scan was sooner ! We :pray: everyday for our little miracle.
Take care everyone,
LNB
Hey everyone
cant believe i am actually in here but I AM WE DID IT:dance:
after having my ivf cycle cancelled cos of not enough eggs, well the 2 that were there decided that they wanted to stick around ( for now)!!!!
i had my bt this morning and she rang me this arvo and said that its positive my levels are 101 woooohooooo
but on the down side, i am bleeding:( it started yesterday ( when af was due) and it was brown yesterday and its red today, its not alot but its there?? i dont have any cramps or anything but i just hope i get to stay in this thread for 9mths.
but for today i am going to stop worrying about what might be or might happen and just enjoy that after nearly 7yrs of ttc#2 we have finally done it:clap: and we done it on our own woohoooooo.
i really hope you dont mind me joining in, i just dont feel comfortable yet to make an offical announcement, i will just wait and see what my bt on monday brings. if all goes well my ivf nurse said i will have a scan in around 2 weeks to see how everything is going and to see how many we have.
i just cant beleive it
Oh ladies seems like the group got bigger over night :dance: I bit like some of our bellies......
Won't attempt personals today as I am dead tired...after spending $265 on the cat on Monday and a tinge of MS arriving this week which I seem to have skipped on my 1st Trimester?!?!?!... and a *** hole of a boss I wish the weekend was here now!!!!!!
Thanks for all the advise with the itchy BB :redface: got my hands on some bio oil thanks to the advice of some great ladies and all is good again :dance:
Anyhoo betta fly and get some rest, hope you are all well and sending you lots of :bellyrubs: :bellyrubs: and BRING ON THE WEEKEND!! :bluecheer: :cheer:
congrats M2C and alloy - and welcome!
not a lot from me tonight - about to go to bed after a very looong couple of days.
M2C - hope the bleeding eases soon hun - it's quite possible it's left over implantation bleed but if it gets heavier get on to your clinic again
