Shannon22 - 4 weeks to go that is exciting. Have plenty of rest, its the last rest you will have for a while
Butterfly Warrior - a win is always exciting. I too have never won anything!
I hope you get better soon, its a pain not feeling well. Esp with 8 weeks until Maternity leave I can understamd that your motivation levels arent very high! I could barely concentrate towards the end of my pregnancy with DD. My days were soo long.....
Nixon I think you still have time to discuss birth plans, but perhaps you can bring it up at your next appointment. Im sure you doc will be happy to talk about it with you.
Possums, glad to hear that our U/S are going well, but I can understand that you would be feeling in limbo. Just stay strong, I'm sure the doc's will start to be more positive once they see your baby is growing strong!
As for the headaches, I was getting them the first couple weeks when I found out I was PG. I didnt really do anything about them and lucky for me they seemed to go away. Panadol is always safe in pregnancy though so you can try that.
Nicole congratulations on the U/S, it makes it all feel s real doesnt it. Pitty about melting the pic but aleast you had it scanned. I have an app with my obst next week so he'll probably do another U/S, I cant wait!
Bel hope to see you back with a BFP in 13 days. We'll all keep our fingers crossed for you!
Janie 16 week scan! wow that is exciting, and feeling the baby move is beautiful. I cant wait until I get there.
Megan its only natural to get frustrated by people giving you advise, but at the end of the day the baby will be yours and you will be the mother and you will decide what is best for your baby and whether you need assistance from others. Just respond to people with, when the time comes I will see and learn for myself, thats what its all about.
I cant remmeber who asked about when to buy baby things, but with my 1st PG I bought a couple things around 4 months b/c they were heavily reduced, but I bought everything else after my 20 week scan. I bought 1 baby outfit very early though, before the 12 week mark b/c I was going crazy! This time I'll probably wait until the 20 weeks before I think about buying things. I am a little my nervous this time.
Which brings me to the comment I made about IVF pregnancies. I think that the material I have read focuses on IVF b/c its probably literature provided by the clinic, however I agree with a few of you have have said that it extends out to everyone who has had a hard time trying to conceive. In my case my 1st PG was very quick but this one took a while before we realised there was an issues wnd then did IUI and then finally IVF. So I agree its the entire journey that has made it harder not the fact that I had to go through IVF, and the thought of having to go thru it again after feeling this joy now scares me. I pray that I have a healthy pregnancy and baby every day, and cant wait until the 12 weeks mark when I think I will relax a little.
Well good night everyone, I think my post has gone on for long enough!
Sorry to anyone I missed, hope you are well, but I replied to the last two pages before I decided it was all getting to long.
Nixon- so glad the funeral went well...and that you had a good appt with your Ob and had another scan...it's so great to see your bubs in there growing
luckystrike- glad things are going well with you and another scan will be great... I too can't wait to get past the 12 week mark, especially given my questionable blood results/concerns etc.
shannon- great that things are going so well...not long now! wow exciting and scary
BW- excellent that you won something...gotta love that .. hope you feel a bit brighter soon
have a good day ladies...every day I move another day closer to my next scan...and tick another week of the first trimester down...and feel just a bit better as time goes on...
Sorry i have been AWOL for soooo long, had to get a new laptop then i couldnt remember my password but anyway i have been trying to follow everything but so much going on!
Possums: I have my everything crossed that everythings going to be ok for you and bubs, your so strong i'm sure your bubba is too.
To All the others ladies (there are so many of you): i hope everything is going along well for you.
AFM: Almost 10 weeks now, been a bit sick the last couple of weeks but not too horrendous no where near as bad as the tiredness anyway! Have my first OB tomorrow which is exciting.
Anyway better get to bed will try to blog better from now on.
I'm the new kid on the block! So nice to be in these threads! Have been dreaming about it for ages!
Still cant believe am PG, guessing it will take some time to sink in. Am still obssesively wiping (sorry if TMI) worried that blood will show up. I guess too many bfn's bring that on.
Feel like have become so knowledgeable in TTC and am here now, PG where i want to be and I dont know where to start and what to do.
I now have to wait 3 weeks for my 7 wk ultrasound - which cant wait for - so lots of killing time in between.
BBs are massive and sore which funnily enough am calling them 'my beacon of hope'. Its like that is my proof for my PG. Like my PG test and BT werent.
Have still been getting cramps in my uterus. Is this common gals.
Other than that OK, just heightened sense of smell.
I was also really surprised that my HCG levels were 1700. They said I probably could have tested 2 days earlier. Is this normal?
I guess I am going to be asking way too many questions and wont be able to help with anyone's at the moment!
Well bellyrubs all round and look forward to sharing the journey with you all!
Mon
That wait for your first US is a killer - but well worth it. Cramps in your uterus are common - in fact I am getting some still at the moment as baby is going through a growth spurt.
Congratulations Mon!! How exciting! I had loads of AF-type cramps early on, perfectly normal but a bit disconcerting. Wishing you a marvellous pregnancy!
Sorry, I'm not up to personals today. Feeling a bit teary and emotional.
to everyone.
ETA - Possums, is your next scan tomorrow? If it is I'm wishing you all the best, and hoping for some great news.
Mon - congratulations and welcome!!! Just so you know, I still check every time I wipe ... and yes, still get odd cramps and things, and I especially did a few weeks back. It is an exciting and nervous time being pregnant, when the journey here hasnt been easy. The ladies here are so helpful and supportive.
Devon-I had a teary emotional day yesterday...was at lunch with a friend and she said something which seemed to hit a raw nerve and I nearly burst into tears!
our scan is tomorrow at 9am. we get another confirmation our little Flicker is growing strong, despite these silly old slow-rising HCG levels of mine! Each week to me feels like another milestone...and another step closer to being into a safer zone
I have had headaches the last few days and felt a bit queasy today and BBs still really sore...I just keep talking to our little one and telling them how much I love them already and to keep growing nice and strong for mummy and daddy
.. hope you feel a bit brighter soon
