Mindhugs~ Having read what London Miss just wrote i have a friend who's daughter miscarried at 5 weeks last month.She is pregnant this month already!!! She was also using the nasal spray as she was ready to start ivf but now the cycle is cancelled because she is pregnant naturally.She has a down syndrome baby and is desperate to have a 'normal' baby which i dont agree with....she has caused a lot of people to frown upon her since she announced 3 hours of her daughters birth that she was going to try for another baby immediately....anyways.... i have heard its common.It didnt happen for me when i mc 3 yrs ago but i also had blocked tubes so it could have?
Best of luck with everything.It will happen.Most of us on these forums,have been what your going through and most of us now have had or are having our precious bundles.It has taken me 6 years to get here but well worth the hard work.Hang in there.xx
Congratulations BOC on the birth of your baby Jagger! Hope you recover nicely and will be home soon telling us all about it.
Had our scan this morning and all is looking perfect! We also found out we are having a little girl. So very excited! Cant wait to meet our little lady.
I am having CONTRACTIONS!!! They are 9 minutes apart so far (although there are weaker ones despersed between the 9 minutes) and not so painful I cant talk but seem to be increasing very slightly every half an hour or so.
DH is about 5 1/2 hours away but has turned his truck around and is on the way back so I am PRAYING things slow right down til he gets here.
OMG I am absolutely SH**TING myself! (not literally haha - yet)
oooooh how exciting! tell DH to break more speed limits, if you can't get a police escort when your wife is in labour I don't know when you can do.... How much are they hurting on a scale of one to ten? When does your mum get here? Lets hope it's not long till your BA.... good luck
Mama isnt going get here until wednesday. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say about 3. I am still not sure when I should go in. If DH was here I would go now just to see whats going on down there. I guess when the contractions are 5 minutes or less and I am in alot of pain then I should go. In the meantime I will just HANG ON like grim death lol.
All my friends who have had babies have said eat something now and have a bath... cos you won't have time later! Have you got someone to get you there? If you were in Melbourne I'd come and get your myself!!!
Wow girls, heaps to catch up on. Will attempt persies and hopefully I don't miss anyone out.
BOC - Congrats on the birth of your little boy. You must be so thrilled.
Sammiejam - Wow... sounds very exciting that you're having contractions. Hopefully your DH gets home in time. Good luck with everything and I can't wait to hear the news when your little baby arrives.
Mindhugs - So sorry to hear your sad news. I cannot even imagine how you must be feeling right now, or what you're going through. Take care of yourself and hopefully we'll see you back in here soon enough.
LondonMiss - re the placenta being at the front, I'm not sure if it will mask the movement the whole time. I hope not. I am pretty sure that I felt a kick tonight after dinner though. I was sitting on the couch with my hands on my stomach and I'm sure I felt a kick. Hopefully the movement starts to pick up soon.
Lise - Hey how are you? Yes it took me a while to come into this forum, but I'm glad I'm here now. It's nice to go along this journey with other ladies who have gone through the same as me to finally fall pregnant. Hope your nursery items arrive soon and you can decorate like crazy.
Paula - Congrats on your scan. How exciting that you're having a little girl. Seems like girls all round at the moment.
Hi to all the other gal in here - WantBaby#2, Kyrawolfe, Smithy. I have no idea if I've missed anyone else as I've only been able to scroll down the last page of posts. Sorry in advance if I have missed someone.
AFM - Well I feel very boring because nothing really much has happened in the last week since I posted last time. Other than work being super busy which sux. The plan is to take DH to the baby shop this weekend and we can buy our first baby items, which is a bit exciting. Nothing major to report on the baby movement front, but I do think I felt a kick tonight (felt it from the outside of my tummy, not the inside), so I am really hoping I will start feeling more soon.
I am definitely feeling a little left out with all the "baby girl" news in here, as we are expecting a little boy. But then again, I have four girlfriends in real life who are all expecting boys in the next 4 months, so I guess it evens out a bit.
We have another OB appt next week, and I am hoping I can get him to do another quick scan, just to confirm it is a boy. I am very much someone who needs to see to believe, and at the 20 week scan, I just couldn't seem to make out what the sonographer was seeing, so I only have her word for it that we're having a boy. I would really like to see some evidence for myself, so here's hoping for next week.
Well that's about it for me. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.
Congrats to all those who have had their babies and those how are in the middle of having them. We are all doing well and Xavier is 7 weeks old. It has taken me a long time to recover but we are all getting there. Hope to see you all in the parenting forum soon.
You're all so precious with your support. Has uplifted me immensely.
At the 9wk scan they found no heartbeat. Was hard to see that flat line on the screen, especially since there was a strong one at 6wks. We were completed blind sided by it. DH almost collapsed at hospital, which killed me.
So I am going in for a curette on Tuesday to have it all removed, unless I miscarry naturally before then. The worst bit is I am still getting horrible morning sickness and sore BB's.
Wantbaby#2 - 6 years is a long time. I just know there are worse stories out there than mine. I suppose it's the knowledge of another laproscopy for my endo, following the curette coupled with my age (37) and DH (45). Just feels closer to the end of our options too. Gosh and who wants to go through the dreaded TWW again, that is def the hardest part of the journey.
Your stories are so inspiring. Your pregnancy and birth stories give me hope and keep me going.
Take care guys and all the very best of luck with everything
big hellos to all my beautiful girls in here your all doing so very well.
paula congrats on your baby girl hun
mindhugs so sorry to hear of your loss sweet girl im thinking of you.
have a lovely weekend girls and belly rubs for you all.
wantbaby#2 YAY! And who knows, i could be early, you could be late, we might even have them closer together. Have you started thinking names? wishes hope you get to see bubs privates for yourself And dont feel left out in here. Every one of our little girls needs a boyfriend.. hahaha Saph great to hear Xavier and mummy are doing well. mindhugs so sorry to hear of your loss. Hope you will be back in here to join us real soon Smithy look at baby Charlie. She is growing up so quickly. 8 weeks already!! She is gorgeous. Sammie any news??
Well i am half way there!! Cant wait to meet our lil girl!
hope you're all going well and had a good weekend. I tried twice yesterday to post and both times something happened - in the end I had a tantrum and gave up!!
Sammiejam - I hope you're going well and that DH made it back in time. Do let us know what you're up to!
Paula - congrats on your pink bundle, i'm so glad your secret wish is going to come true
Wishes - now you've started feeling your little one moving it won't be long before you feel him every day. The chicklet is kicking away merrily as I type this, although she's so very stubborn and if I were to draw attention to her movements to DH she'd stop immediately, I don't know how she knows...
Wantbaby - I hope the house moving is going okay for you. It's such a stressful and tiring time isn't it? Just make sure that you don't do any heavy lifting and/or moving, and take plenty of breaks.
Londonmiss - I hope you can easily ignore your mum's 'medical' advice - I guess this is one aspect where it's better to be living far apart!
Kyra - your hammock time sounds divine I don't have one any more but I do have a papasan in which I love to curl up with a book outside.
AFM - well I was very excited today to get the call that our pram had arrived! I left work early to pick it up and have spent the last two hours putting it all together. It looks fantastic, but i'm a little annoyed that we seem to be missing a few things (the safety harness and padding for the chair, although we'll be using the bassinet part for the first few months). I'm going to call them tomorrow and take it in on the weekend to show them what I have and tell them what I need so I hope I don't have any problems...
Otherwise, going okay although my back has starting hurting a bit so i'm going to have to add a few more pillows to the mix when I go to sleep! Poor DH, the bed is pretty much taken up with my pillows as is...
Oh, while I think of it - now that BOC has had her little one we'll need someone to take over the list. I'm relying on my phone at the moment don't think i'll be able to take over - is there anyone out there with a computer that actually works (you seem to be few and far between at the moment!) who is willing to take on the list?
Well off for a warm bath, i'm quite exhausted after putting the pram together - I wasn't expecting to have to do that at all which is probably a bit silly of me.
I offered before but no response so I was keeping my head down!!! But still happy to....
Just in case any of you are being told to eat more dried fruit (it seems that dieticians are obsessed with it for vegetarians) (that and broccoli).. here's a recipe I typed out earlier. I know it's nothing to do with pregnancy strictly but you might like it nonetheless
1 orange
1 lemon
9 fl oz unsweetened apple juice
6 whole cardamon pods lightly crushed
6 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
13oz dried fruit whatever you like. I used some rather dismal-looking (black!) apricots, left over cranberries, raisins, pears and peaches
3 tbsp sugar (reduce a little if you used apple juice with sugar in)
Cut the rind off the lemon and orange and add to pan. Add the juice of both. Add juice and 750ml of water. Add the fruit. Bring to boil, then turn the heat off and leave it for an hour. Return to heat, add the sugar and cook for five mins or until all the fruit is soft. The recipe says to remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and simmer the juice down for another five mins, but I don't bother. Remove cinnamon stick. Serve warm or cold, lush with natural yogurt. Just don't crunch down on a cardamon or you'll know about it!
Keeps for at least a week in the fridge covered. Makes a large bowl full.
