Thanks Ladies - I don't normally go looking for awful stories so was kind of surprised someone would write that in reply in a newly pregnant belly buddies forum. Think I will just lay low until I get my ultrasound in here.
Lairdoz- Congrats to you on your pregnancy first of all. I'm sorry that someone was so insensitive to respond to your news like that. The last thing you want to hear when you share happy news of a pregnancy.
Try and enjoy it! We have a saying in my belly belly group(I think it's a belly belly motto) PUPO- Pregnant until proven otherwise! I know how hard it is nt to worry though

Thanks so much Glenny, I am a little too self-obsessed at the moment and I hope I will be of more use in here once I have had my 1st ultrasound (but then of course I have my 8 week, 12 week and 19 week scans to stress about too!). I had a fantastic pregnancy last time so am hoping for the same this time.

Brunette its probably a combo of both. Interesting content and great group. We all had a great big laugh last night when PND turned to sexual talk. Totally crazy! Two more classes left. Lairdoz that is a very insensitive thing to say but dont worry to much (i know, easily said than done) but i have a group of sick fellow belly buddies and me on the other hand have been very lucky with everything going really well with my pregnancy so everyone is different and you just have to try your best to enjoy your pregnancy. Im sure we all worry at the best of times during pregnancy and we will be worrying forever even once our bubs are here. lise how did your obs appointment go today?
laridoz - I know its hard but try and enjoy every moment and don't listen too much about other people because every prgnancy is different and you will experience different things.
Just a quick one from me have been in hospital getting fluids have had a rough couple of days!! Feeling ok now have been given maxalon and panadine for migraines. Was a bit hesitant about the panadine but have been reassured it is perfectly safe. Feel so bad when sick that it is hurting bub but like they say it is hurting them more if i'm not eating or drinking. Have a lovely weekend all!!!
Sorry to hear that you ended up in hospital Renee! poor thing! But hopefully bub got what it needed.
Lise??? Am hoping everything ended up moving along for you and those cramps turned into contractions.
I have our tour of the maternity ward and rooms tomorrow, at Nth West, and have secured my spot for the antenatal classes in October! One more thing I can cross off the list :-)
Have a nice relaxing weekend ladies, and take care.
Thanks for your thoughts ladies, am still here!! OB appointment today, everything the same though she said the baby has moved down into my pelvis a bit more. Left feeling very depressed and wanting to cry...
BUT - think I am having the bloody show! Went to the toilet before and there is pink on my pad and on the toilet paper. It's not thick enough for blood and doesn't look like mucous but assuming that's what it is though not sure if I should ring the midwives to confirm??? Have some cramping but nothing different from before.
Well now I'm not so sure.. There's been nothing else and cramps have stopped so am wondering if I just imagined a pink tinge to make myself feel better??? *big sigh* back to impatient waiting
Hello all. Lise - I don't think you could imagine pinkness (even if you were hoping for it) so it sounds like it might be to me. That sounds like better concrete evidence to me than the cramps which seem a bit like they drag on to me. I'd ring the midwife if you aren't sure.
I've set up a facebook note answering the following: how are you/ how is the baby/ any doc news as I'm already sick of answering the question ninety million times a day and its only going to get worse. I'm v tempted to chuck all the phones in port phillip bay
I'm going to Singalong Sound of Music tonight, hoping that will kickstart some contractions
Sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks. I've been reading this thread every couple of days, but have had MS from mid-afternoon through the evening, which is the only time I have to check BB lately (work has gotten very busy the past month or so), and so by the time I'm done reading, I just haven't had the energy to post. Luckily I feel OK in the morning, so I'm able to seem "normal" at work, esp. since it doesn't get really bad till dinner time. Just to fill you in, I had my 8 week scan 2 weeks ago and all looked good, so things seem to be progressing apace. Looking forward to the 12-week scan in a week and a half, although I suppose I should be getting nervous about the Down syndrome check, considering my age (38).
I am thinking of all you you. I'm probably too far behind to do full personals, but here are a few thoughts:
Lise, I hope your bub comes soon!
LondonMiss, it looks like you're getting close there, too.
Brunette, I'm so happy to hear that things are now going well after all of your scares. Enjoy being able to move around again!
Renee, so sorry to hear your MS is continuing and that you even ended up in hospital because of it.
Maggie, so sorry to hear of your continuing MS, too. I hope the medication works. Hearing about your and Renee's experience, I really can't complain about only having MS in the second half of the day. Plus, I'm only nauseous, not puking.
Lairdoz, welcome and a big congratulations for you that it worked this month! I'm so happy for you. Don't worry about that stupid comment in the belly buddies thread; with your sky-high HCG levels, it sounds like your pregnancy must be supremely healthy.
Leabie and Glenny - good luck with your scans next week. Glenny, I hope all goes well so you can start telling people. My DH and I decided to start telling family after our 8 week scan, but ended up waiting till last week (9 weeks) b/c my SIL had a baby the day after my 8-week scan and I didn't want to intrude on her being the center of attention (she deserves it after having a M/C last year). It's been fun telling family, but we're not going to tell anyone else until after our 12-week scan, which is a week from next Wednesday.
Ladies - it's time!! Drum roll please. I've been back through 23 pages and this is what I've gleaned but there will be loads of mistakes, so please make changes, I'll delete this list and post a correct one here. Anyone heard from Seph? It's saturday and there's chocolate and marmalade cake in the oven. Happy days
[deleted - see page 4 for the new list]

LondonMiss - I saw on another thread that Seph had her boy, Archie.
Spoke to midwife about the pinkness but all she said was keep an eye on it and let them know if anything changes. So could still be here forever oh well, good to know it's nothing bad.
Ladies - I am thinking of everyone but no energy to post properly sorry! Just don't think badly of me until you're at this end stuck with a useless brain...
Hi all, just wanted to pop in and say Mrs Slyder had two girls, names i believe are private so not to add to the list but two very beautiful healthy girls be it that they arrives early! xx
still baking here, welcome to all the new ladies and congratulation on your wonderful news, it still makes me ask myself 'is this really happening?'
Not long now for some of the ladies in here and i wish you all the very best with positive labour stories to read. Im very scared myself! lol
Im also still worried about my fluid levels and my OB is away for 4 weeks and i am not seeing anyone until he is back, only another three weeks to go!
Ive had my fair few scares alonng the way with this pg but im sure you all understand that.
Hello Ladies, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend! So 39 weeks today… I can’t believe we are going to have a baby soon! I have had another busy week, I managed to catch up on a few things at home and a little bit of shopping. I also did the world’s biggest grocery shop and a bit cooking so I know have very full cupboards and the spare freezer is half full of frozen meals.
DH and I went out to dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary a little early. It was so nice to spend some time one on one and knowing that it will probably be our last date night for quiet a while. I even treated myself to half a glass of wine….. I figure it can’t do much at this late stage…. Just hopefully relax mummy so baby wants to come play!
Lise – good luck over the next couple of days. I hope your little man doesn’t keep you waiting too much longer. Looking fwd to hearing your news.
LondonMiss – Thanks for sharing your video… it makes me feel impatient and I cant wait till that first moment when I get to hold my little one. Also, can you please update my due date to the 3rd July.
Laridoz – Welcome and congratulations. I think all us long termers get a little more anxious about things. Try not to worry about what other people say or think, everyone’s pregnancy is different. I found that with each scan I relaxed into the pregnancy more, plus when you start to feel kicks about half way it’s always a lovely little reassurance. I hope you can enjoy your pregnancy a little more with each passing week.
Gleeny_C – sorry to read about the ladies in your belle buddies group who have had early losses. Unfortunately it will always happen but you can only try and stay positive for yourself. Good luck with your scan – no doubt everything will be fine and you will feel more reassured with every passing week.
Leabie – Good luck with your scan next week and enjoy telling the world your news. It is such an amazing time when you finally get to tell and be really excited about things.
CK77 - we had a similar experience with our first OB appointment. After waiting for an hour while he was off doing an emergency c-section we were rushed through and pushed out the door…. although we were charged $180 for the privilege - $70 sounds cheap! We ended up deciding to go public but a lot of my friends have had similar experiences and said not to worry it is actually a good thing as it means everything is on track with no dramas to worry about.
Paula – Glad to hear the GCC results came back ok. I hated that test the drink was so yuk!
Ok that’s enough personals for today – belly rubs to those who I have missed xo
It has been a long time since I've posted, so I'm not even going to attempt personals as there is just too much to catch up on. Although I will say a huge congratulations to all the new girls in here. I recognise some of your names from the LTTTC thread, but I wanted to say a special hi to Juniper. I remember following your TTC journey, and I am so happy for you that you finally have your long awaited pregnancy.
Well I will be 36 weeks on Monday, and I can't believe how quickly the time is ticking by. I finished work about 3 weeks ago (doctor's orders), as I was diagnosed with grade 3 placenta praevia, where the placenta is completely covering my cervix (there are 4 grades, with 4 being the worst, so I have one of the more severe cases). OB was concerned about the risk of bleeding so he said I had to finish work early. It also means I have to have a c-section, and at this stage, the date is booked in for 19th July.... assuming nothing happens early. As a result, I have been trying to get everything organised at home, and finish some last minute shopping.
LondonMiss - Not long to go for you either. Could you please update the list to say that I'm having a boy. Technically my due date is still 26th July, so I'm happy for that to remain the same.
Lise - I have been keeping a close eye on this thread, to keep updated on your progress. Fingers crossed that things start to happen for you soon. I am starting to get quite uncomfortable now, so I can only imagine how you must be feeling.
Mitf - how are you? Am keeping a close eye on you too. Hope you are travelling along ok. A glass (or half a glass) of wine sounds nice. I haven't been able to bring myself to drink this whole pregnancy, and I figure I'm so close to the end now, so I'll just hold out.
Hi to all the other lovely ladies in here, and I hope everyone has a great weekend.
sitting here trying not to get too excited again only to have my hopes dashed - (apologies if TMI ahead!) - but i've just been to the toilet and there's more pink/blood on the toilet paper and pad so am hoping things might finally be starting to happen... This time there's actually blood rather than just pink stains so if it continues like that i'll give the midwives another call and see what they say. Needless to say i'm sitting here on edge just trying to wait a decent amount of time before checking again, and I was just about to have a bath but thought i'd wait to see what happens in case the bath made everything stop. So not logical I know, sometimes I embarrass myself and wonder how I completed a science degree with this kind of logic
Hope everyone is enjoying what's left of the weekend,

oh well, good to know it's nothing bad.
