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.
