Leabie, good news that your acu sessions are now down to 1 per week. Have you got the results back from your GTT? Re being told your anaemic, are you on an iron tablet? My FS put me on a high-grade one a few weeks back, and I think my haemoglobin level was okay. Precautionary I suppose. The one the pharmacist recommended for me is Ferro Grad C (small bottle with red label). It has vitamin C in it which helps with constipation - not to get it, that is!
Renee, you poor thing with not only MS but now the metallic taste too. FX it will end once you hit your second trimester!
Paula, good news that your OB says you are progressing nicely. GL for your GTT next Wednesday and hope you enjoy your 1st antenatal class tonight.
Miss K, you made me laugh when you said you did a few starjumps to see if bubs would play ball and turn over! Sorry that you couldn't see all you wanted. Have you also thought about taking an iron supplement like the one I just mentioned above to Leabie?
CK, great news on your nuchal scan result and on reaching the second trimester. I'm still wearing my horseshoe necklace every day! My nuchal scan is next Wednesday and I am pretty worried about it (hence still wearing the necklace every day!) but FX all will go well. You are certainly buying up a storm for the nursery. Go girl! The car seat you bought from Target sounds like an absolute bargain!
wantbaby#2, Great news that your bub is in exactly the right percentile. No doubt a great relief for you. I agree about how rude that woman was re the health insurance, and it's good to complain when you feel strongly. It must be nice having a date, too, with the c-section now planned. FX all things progressing well for me, my FS has already mentioned a c-section and with twins it's probably the prudent thing to do and follow his advice.
Lise, re the planning and management fee, it's probably different in different states, but our fee for this is to be paid at week 20. Medicare still covers or gives you a rebate for it, but thanks to Rudd it is now capped. So even if you have hit the safety net, you only get about (depending on what fee your FS/OB charges) a quarter back! Rudd obviously doesn't want Australian women to have babies! Damn, shouldn't go there because I could go on and on about him at the moment. He is my local federal member and his office is less than a kilometre away. I would dearly love to protest outside - not that he's ever there anyway. Rant, rant, rant! How weird that a male was in your breastfeeding class, and you make me LOL with your doll. Not long to go now. Re my wild adventures, my FS said I could drive this week. So I have done two little quick trips to the shops, and it was weird how scared I was being behind the wheel again but also great! I'm off to see the movie Harry Brown tomorrow, too
Hi Ninah, glad that everything is well after your fall. No doubt very reassuring to have a doppler at home.
LondonMiss, when we first moved in the house and I was on home/bed rest, all we had was this crappy old computer with outdated software, a wireless internet connection which constantly dropped out and no home phone. No wonder I nearly went crazy until all technology was connected - which was well over a week! So I totally hear you not having a computer. Wondered where you had gone to. Welcome back!
AFM, I am week 12 tomorrow - so hard to believe. I have next week off work due primarily to the nuchal scan. Didn't think it very smart to go back to work in that week if the news was not good. So FX and all things going well, I will make a gradual return to work just after week 13. Apparently for me my good time will be the second trimester and then the third trimester I'll just be huge and my FS wants me to stop work at week 25!!!! Does he think we're made of money and also have an endless supply of leave? Aaaagh! Re questions about identical v fraternal twins, DH and I believe that we have fraternal twins (and yes we had two embryos transferred) but apparently one embryo can split within a few days of the other and they can still have their own sacs and placentas and be identical. I don't think it very likely, but if they are the same gender then really the only way of knowing (to my understanding at least) is to have the placentas tested after birth.
