HI all and isn't there alot of us now, that's great!
Possums I love that you have called your bub 'flicker' and wish I could come up with an equally quirky name for my two. My MIL keeps calling them jack and Jill which I don't appreciate much. I have everything crossed that all will be okay for you and DH with Flicker. It sounds like your clinic does alot of BT'ing. I had two more after the initial BFP. It is because of the levels? I had a scare at around 6wks with x2 bleeds and everything turned out okay, we were very surprised to see two babies growing. I really hope all is ok.
Shannon: how many weeks are you at the moment? just wondering after you mentioned you are measuring at 38wks. I have a vested interest as I am wondering how big I will get. My friend sent me an email and probably didn't realise it would freak me out. It was of a lady having triplets and her tummy growing, then afterwards. It was pretty scary.
Nixon: sorry to hear your grandma passed away recently. Hope you are okay.
Hi to everyone else and hope you are all travelling along well.
AFM: I have my first OB appointment next week. I had a previous appointment at the hospital and they rammed breast feeding down my throat. I felt quite overwhelmed when I left. It was like they assumed I was not going to do it and were out to convince me into it. I am quite open to the option, however now feel like I will be a failure if it doesn't work for any reason. Otherwise MS is gradually starting to disapate, however I am tired alot of the time. I am lucky that I work casually and can take or leave the work depending on how I feel. They have been really flexible around my needs now and during IVF.
Hi Queenh- good to hear things are going well and hope that first OB appt goes well. Some clinics/nurses can be a bit forceful/militant...you just always do what's right for you...and I am sure we all hope to breastfeed, but if for some reason we can't- that will be OK. I guess you do have so many more little worries and wonders come into your mind with having two peas in a pod
Yes, it's the levels they are worried about with me... this was my 3rd (and to be final) BT after the initial BFP test. The levels were at 8600, then only went to 10,500...which wasn't much of a rise and got the IVF nurse and then my OB concerned...even though they also said things could turn around and be ok, especially as we did already see a heartbeat last Friday...they were just a bit worried by those results that it's a sign of a problem as the levels should have jumped a lot more, which of course sent me into a tailspin. It's just a waiting game now and I figure the best I can do is be positive, for me and for our little Flicker.
I'm off to Canberra this arvo for the funeral tomorrow. I'm feeling a lot better now. Thanks Janie, Megan, Queenh and any one else I have missed for your thoughts and wishes.
Queenh - Maybe all the girls could submit ideas for nicknames for your dynamic duo? Then if you see one you like you could start using it?
Possums - I'm feeling the positive vibes are back with you. I'm glad. I hope this week flies by for you.
Anyway - speak to you next week....have a great weekend.
X
take care on your trip Nic - and remember to look after YOU and the sneak, as well as everyone else!
AFM - when does the icky queasiness go away? the last couple of days have been horrific - i just want to be able to throw up to be honest, but i can't seem to let go - am feeling so awful! spent a good hour last night with my head over a bucket - and NOTHIN! not loving it - would be easier if i could just be sick i'm sure, but nope, i have a very well trained body that doesn't like to let go (damn that upchuck phobia!). im still eating, just feeling ordinary - had to take maxalon just so i could sleep last night..... i guess it gives me confidence that the Gremlin is growing nicely - and that we definitely chose the right name in the Gremlin! apart from that, i'm starting to get excited - going on what i've worked out, i'm now about 7 weeks - woo hoo! will be good to hear what the FS has to say about EDD next week seeing my dates and the U/S don't match by a few days!
BG, it started to subside for me around 10 weeks, and was pretty much gone completely by around 13-14 weeks. You kind of don't notice it disappearing, strangely enough!
I ran into an OB friend of mine on Monday... she had another friend with her who has just had a baby. Both of us had morning sickness from ridiculously early, and knowing you did as well, the current theory is that PCOS girls get morning sickness from very early on. Sadly, there's no theory about when it goes as the other friend was puking madly right up until the day she delivered (as did my aunt with PCOS). Could be good news there, could be bad news too!
Nixon, I hope the funeral is a cathartic time of farewell. Travel safe.
I'm still feeling half dead. Head cold, or it could be a sinus infection, or it could just be crazy allergies, or it could be a mix of all three. Fortunately my psycho baby has decided to be a bit less psycho today so I'm not feeling so bruised and battered. DH had his hand on the bump and was shocked at just how much movement there was last night, and was even more shocked when I told him that this was a quieter moment for Munchkin... I'm really starting to worry how I'm going to keep up with this kid!
But there's a possible theory... I'm doped up on polaramine, a pregnancy safe antihistamine which is fairly heavily sedating. Big family reunion with DH's family over the weekend and we discovered that there seems to be a trend with phenergan making the little boys in the family really, really wired. I'm starting to wonder if my psycho baby is from the drugs I'm taking so that I can breathe/see. DH is apparently one of the ones made wired by phenergan, so it's entirely possible.
i hope i have MS that leaves EARLY! i know it's a comfort to know that it's there, but i was happy enough with low grade nausea i had first couple of weeks!
interesting theory about baby getting wired on antihistamine! add that to the sugar hit from GTT the other day, and you've got the potential for one hyperactive munchkin
Potential? No potential about it! Munchkin had me up from 1am to 4am Tuesday night (should I say Wednesday morning?) because he was so freaking active! He's a bit more sensible today so I'm really hoping it was just the GTT that did it.
Brings to mind all those people who suggest giving babies phenergan to make them sleep... I should offer to let them do it to Munchkin on the condition they look after him for the duration. Not that I ever would, of course.
BG- and I hope your MS passes quickly..although at least you know Gremlin is doing well.... I kinda wish I had more symptoms , especially at the moment, as a sign of progress
Nixon- i hope the funeral goes well and you can say a special goodbye to your lovely gran
afm- trying to be positive still but very nervous in the background all the time...just wondering if it's all ok
waiting is hard
Travel safe.
