Thankyou Lise.Did your friend have her baby?if so how big was he/she? If not,did her dr want to deliver early? I have just been reading other peoples stories on various forums and that has calmed me a little.Im definately going to eat what i want from now on.Lastnight i had maccas and a hot apple pie.So far today...cereal,2 pieces toast,apple,2 glasses of juice.For lunch im thinking chocolate and for diinner...well,maybe chocolate.LOL.(if i dont laugh i will cry) LOL LOL LOL LOL...blah.
Just a quick post for Renee - sorry to hear you're feeling so lousy babe, have you ever tried the acupressure wrist bands for travel sickness/nausea? I have some and think they're brilliant. Most chemists stock them, if you don't have them and wanted to try them. I've got elasticised ones and velcro ones - I'd go the elasticised, as the velcro tends to cut off the movement/circulation! Even my darling sceptic DH swears by them (he gets bad seasickness). Another tip for nausea is eating outside, or with a breeze blowing on your face (eg fan) so you can't smell the food so much.
Hope this helps?
PS Wantbaby - hope you're doing OK sweetie, it must be a stressful time. She sounds like she's petite like her mum! for you, and enjoy eating up big!
Renee, have you tried acupuncture for your MS? I know everyone on here is probably tired of me harping on about it, but I truly think that my fortnightly acupuncture throughout has been one of the reasons why i've had a very easy pregnancy (touching wood now so not to jinx myself!!) without any MS or other major symptoms. As for your belly button, I vaguely recall maybe LondonMiss having a similar problem??? No doubt she'll let you know
Just trying out my new ticker - I opted for something a bit silly, so please please PLEASE let me know if it offends anyone!
I forgot to mention in previous post, my results are back from Tuesday's BT - apparently my HCG levels are "within the expected range for my dates". They didn't actually give me the number, a bit frustrating, but hey, its good news!
Lise, your pregnancy massage sounds wonderful. I didn't know about boy's genitals being larger after birth; that is very funny. How is your new Mac going now? I've never had one before but I have heard that they are pretty user-friendly? They are very cute computers I booked in today for 12.5 weeks for the nuchal scan. I was told as I am carrying twins there is no point doing the combined bloods as they wouldn't know which one might have higher levels - or something like that. I am only worried due to my age, being a dinosaur at 37! And therefore higher risk of Down syndrome etc.
Londonmiss, thanks for the good advice re listeria, antenatal classes, yoga classes etc. I am glad that your little girl turned xx.
Chrissy and Glenny, I'd love to do pregnancy yoga but I would have to check with my FS first, given being on home bed rest till week 12. Definitely think if we're all going to NWPH then we should try to get into the same antenatal classes. Sounds like fun. Chrissy, how cool that your birthday coincides with your week 12. Thanks for still wearing those horseshoe earrings. That combined with me wearing my horseshoe necklace must be helping! The power of positive thoughts, hey? But I'm not buying anything baby related till a lot further down the track. I can't bring myself to yet. Re booking into hospital, I got a booklet from Kris which said to book from week 12 to week 15, and I'm sure it also said to book into antenatal classes at the same time - but I'm not sure when they start, ie what week in the PG.
Chrissy, I've not put on any weight either - in fact, I've lost one kilo, which worries me because the twin/triplet/multiples books I've been reading say how much extra weight you should be gaining. I am eating all the time, though, and making sure to eat all the right things. Plus, it's not like I'm active; I only sit or lie around. I will have to talk to my FS the next time I see him (next Tuesday) to see if he is concerned.
Renee, sorry to hear that you are still suffering from MS, but a few good tips have been given to you so hopefully those tips will help you.
Sorry, wantbaby2, I havent' heard about a growth scan, but itsounds like common sense that if you were a small baby, and you are very petite, then the baby is going to be small too.
Leabie, I think your ticker is really cool. It took me about 2 hours to figure out how to do mine, and I can't make the thing smaller because if I do the site I use drops out relevant stuff from it. I don't think anyone will be offended. Good to hear your levels are what they are supposed to be. My old FS (now my current FS; long story) used to be like that, too, and just say that the tests were fine, yet when I changed FS (the one who got me preganant with twins and has now nicked off to Greece for a holiday!) is completely different and tells you all the levels. If you want, just be proactive and ask for it. It's your PG and your body.
Better sign off as my eyeballs are falling out of their head - literally. Have a good weekend, ladies!
Brunette - that is fab news that both of your babies are growing and doing well. Have a great day on Friday, i'm not on bed rest but pretty much have been for MS reasons so i know how exciting it is to actually make it out of the house! To be able to put make up on and have a purpose for the day feels great!
Lise - hope your OB app went well. Wow how uncanny is the thing with your sister! How are you finding the mac, i want to get one as my next laptop but not sure how i would go i use microsoft office for work all the time.
wantbaby2 - I hope you are feeling a little less worried about things, by the sound of your size i agree with the others that bub prob just takes after you, however enjoy eating a mars bar a day! I have not put on any weight just yet, which is surprising considering all the crap i am eating!! DH thinks i have lost weight, isn't he sweet!!! I have an addiction to burger rings ATM, i figure as long as i can get in 2 pieces of fruit and veges with dinner i can eat them!
KitKat - OMG what an ordeal you have been through, my DH would prob have taken me to anger management classes after all that i would have been soo mad. Glad that things have settled down now, you will just have to have more babies to keep your pressure down!!!
Londonmiss - thanks for the bellybutton advice, i haven't noticed it this week. I hope you are feeling better and are enjoying having your friend visit.
CK77, Miss K, Leabie, S'Rose, mitf, glenny C - to you all hope you are all doing well.
To anyone i missed i am sorry but hope you are also doing well.
AFM - I have a rotten cold which i ok cause it has been raining for days and it is nice to stay in bed during that sort of weather! Not much MS over the last couple of days but im not holding my breathe, it will be back im sure! I am however sssoooooooooo hungry all the time, has anyone else experienced this? Anyway will catch you all later
Hello all, I'm always hungry!! DH had flu for a week, I had a cold for 36 hours... typical. I borrowed a humidifier thing from a friend who has children, plugged it in over night, slept in a mildly damp rain forest atmosphere, cold completely gone in morning... so if you know anyone who has one, I highly recommend borrowing one given our only other cold medicine is water and sleep. Hope you are all well. I'm shattered after quite a lot of touristic activity, just got to sleep last night and Yarra Trams decided to do some more maintenance at middnight, but only for 5 mins. Just enough to wake me up and keep me awake for an hour. If you were on a jury and I killed the lot of them, would you regard this as provocation and let me off, I wonder????? It really is very tempting.
Smithy great to hear from you. That photo of Charlie is truly adorable. Such a big girl already. Alicia sending you hugs. Hope your feeling a bit more at ease and enjoying all your chocolate. Im sure that your lil girl is just genetically tiny like her mum Leabie great ticker. Wonderful news on your HCG levels! KitKat best of luck with your scan today! lise i have a MAC too at home. They are the best! I totally agree with looking forward to obs appointments. Im in and out in 5 minutes but like you said, its like we have reached another mini milestone or something. Brunette wonderful news on the twins. They certainly are growing nicely. Woohoo on going out for lunch on Friday. Enjoy! Renee hope you get better soon. This weather, as miserable as it is, is great for staying in bed
Have been MIA for a little while too so its hard to catch up with everyone but a big hello and hope you are all doing well
Had our 4D scan on Saturday and to say it was amazing is an understatement. Definitely recommend it to all! Was wonderful to see our little girl (got it re-confirmed) so clearly. Her little nose, lips, ears, jaw line just all her features in general. Was truly a magical experience. We got lots of cheeky smiles out of her too. She had on foot by her chin and we even caught her licking it..LOL.. So very cute already! If you have Facebook PM me as i have uploaded all the pics on there.
This Sunday i have my baby shower which is being held by my beautiful cousin who is going to be Tiana's Godmother. Cant wait. Just hope we get nicer weather so its not a miserable day but not looking that way unfortunately. Either way, REALLY looking forward to it
Hello Girls.Just a quick note to say thankyou to all for your support and kind words.I have been eating like crazy.I am a little more relaxed now.Im being more positive and trying to be more prepared,should bub need to be delivered early.I still need to wait til 7th June for the growth scan so all i can do is eat,relax and watch bub moving about
Paula-I saw your pics of Tiana on fb......soooooo precious.It will be exciting to see if she changes much from now til her birth.I liked the one smiling.So cute.I wonder what she was thinking there? haha.
