Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Sept/Oct 2007

[mako]

Wow Monnie that 1st 6 weeks of young Felix's life has certainly flown. I hope the reflux issues aren't too bad for you both. It is quite a coomon thing with bubs. When I was working as a Nanny the baby I was caring for had it really bad. He was breast and bottle fed(formula) and we had to buy a special anti reflux type which seemed to help a bit. He's now a very healthy 10 year old.

What is a hug a bug?

Sazz - good luck with the room situation you will get it sorted, I can't believe you only have 14 weeks to go.

Ltl Panda - so glad your dh is looking after you with the massage.
I so wish I could relate to feeling eurphoric but I still feel awful most days, I do feel quite ripped off actually.
I remember the first 2-3 weeks I found out I was pg I was so incredibly happy & bursting with excitement but since week 7 I have felt awful but I am so glad that most of you ladies are feeling great.

Mako - sorry your appointment didn't go as well as you expected & I know you will still worry but just think awhile ago you were hoping to make it to 32 weeks so you are past that & your appointment is another couple of weeks away so I know everything will work out how it's meant to & you will be holding your precious bub without a care in the world.

Monnie - so happy to hear from you & Felix, hopefully his reflux will improve.

So we had our first antenatel class on Tuesday & it was really really good.
I mostly wanted to go so Dh would learn a few things but I actually learnt quite a few things myself which is fantastic.
The midwife was wonderful & put me quite at ease so I am looking forward to our next class.

My tummy is getting so huge but I'm just not sure how much more it can stretch, it is so incredibly tight I feel as though I may just burst especially when bub kicks it feels like her foot is going to come straight through!!!
Have another check up with dr tomorrow so will let you know how it goes.

Jo - 27 (treated endo)
Dh - 34

Sazz - wow just 14 weeks.
Mako, ohhh darling hope you are ok, I guess you will be holding your little one in your arms a lot sooner than you though. As long ans you and baby are ok, it makes no different how cooked the little one is.

Monnie, great that you said hello, and good to hear that little Felix is doing well.

DJ, that must feel so uncomfortable, I could only imaging how feeling that tight would feel like....

Well girls, I finally have something to say, had our 20 week scan and got to see midget, it was totally amazing. She also had a 3D scanner so got some pretty cool shots of it, totally amazing, I was over the moon last night and could not believe that this little being is in my belly. Looks like it has a lot of hair on its head, and the scanner lady recons the due date is the 14th and not the 19th, told her its an IVF baby so the 19th is correct. Also, I have a low lying placenta so will need to go back at 31 weeks to see where its at, this will revile if I need a c-section…..if the baby is ok, nothing really bothers me, I am just a little scared of having a epidural, totally scared of them and was planning on a natural birth. This will mean that an epidural is necessary if I want to be awake for the birth otherwise they can put me to sleep.

And that is it….. just looking forward to the weekend, hope you lovely ladies are all doing well, and will talk soon.
