Leabie~ CONGRATS on the results.Thats wonderful news.Enjoy sharing your news.Its so much fun telling people.
Re:my tummy comments..yes my husband has the same idea as you...to hit people who are rude.Haha.My mum suggested i get a tshirt made with the 'bird' on it..and not the chirping type of bird..LOL.She notices the stares when we are shopping together and gets annoyed too.
Mitf~ The braxton hicks hurt.I dont know why books say they are painless because mine have always felt like period cramps.My mum said when she was having my brother and i,that she thought they hurt too. Mine have been getting more frequent and more uncomfortable over the past 3-4 weeks.As long as they dont mean anything more as i am quite happy waiting for my c section in 3 weeks.Im prepared for 23rd July...any earlier,id freak! Hoping to hear baby news from you soon.x
Commenting on their non pregnant bellies works for me, soon shuts them up. Don't see why parts of my body are fair game for totally unqualified and judgemental discussion and not theirs.
Thanks for the explanation on the stretching, Londonmiss. And for your funny comments, which just cracked me up! Thanks to the other ladies who also posted about the issue.
I haven't had any movement/flutters yet, and on another post a lot of ladies at my stage of PG reported feeling movement. It's making me start to worry. I still have really sore boobs but my next scan is still about a month away. I guess in a way I was spoilt having been through IVF and having problems early on, in that I had weekly scans, then fortnightly scans. At my last scan the doc didn't want to see me till a month! So the worry begins anew.
Lise, I'm hoping no news from you is good news and that you're in hospital right now
Leabie, brilliant news on your nuchal scan results. You must be over the moon. Isn't it amazing to see your baby? Ours waved at us and sucked their thumbs!
MITF - Braxton hicks pains sound scary. Is this your first PG? If so, it's hard to know what to expect, hey? Not long to go now!
Wantbaby2 - Only 3 weeks to go! Wow. I think I'll be having a c-section, too; my FS has already mentioned and recommended it. The only thing I worry about is not being able to do everything straightaway after the birth. My personality is to get in and do everything. I don't worry about missing out on labour or anything like that. I am going to follow doctor's orders and do what is best for the twins, especially given my age, twins and the horrible start I've had to this PG.
Hi to those ladies I've missed and to all. I'm too lazy to go back now and have a look at the previous page Hope you are all travelling well.
Brunette - unfortunately i'm still here with not a labour sign in sight! I didn't feel any movement until 17 weeks which is normal, you generally only feel them earlier if it's your second + pregnancy, so I wouldn't worry about not feeling anything yet, though hope you do soon!
Leabie - so glad your scan went well and you can start telling people It's so much fun, we really enjoyed people's reactions!
Mitf - i'm with you on the crystal ball, I actually think i'd be a lot calmer if I knew when it was going to happen, even it was 10 past my due date at least I wouldn't wonder every second of every day if it was about to happen!!
LondonMiss - yay on the new laptop, new toys are so much fun aren't they?! And hehehe on the image of me eating pineapple and doing all those other things at the same time - could be interesting indeed to try...
Wantbaby - a friend of mine just had her second caesar and actually found it easier than the first, so fingers crossed this happens for you also.
AFM - well i've scheduled an appointment with my acupuncturist for Friday afternoon with the intention of her doing an induction session, in anticipation that i'll be booked in for one early next week. I see my OB on Friday morning, and last week she said we'll talk inductions this week. Unlike some other OBs mine is very reluctant to do any interventions unless necessary, which is a good thing I suppose, it's just that i'm impatient! And another friend of mine, due the same day, is being induced tomorrow because her OB doesn't like anyone going over, so they're all different.
Anyway, am very much hoping the acupuncture induction works and I have some happy news to share on Saturday. If you don't hear from me after that it's because it didn't work and i'm too depressed to log on and talk to anyone - believe me, i'll be posting happy news as soon as I possibly can!!
Hi Ladies,
I have been watching in here, but I have had awful asthma which is keeping me fairly bedridden (as much as you can be with a 14 month-old). I am hoping Lise that your little one arrives very soon and that the acupuncture works!!
I will get back to persies hopefully within a week as I have new drugs (OK for pregnancy of course!) which I just started.
I have my scan for the heartbeat next Monday morning so will keep you ladies posted.
Hi to everyone, and thanks so much for the lovely welcome. I hope those due very soon get to meet their happy and healthy babies VERY soon!
xx
Lise - a friend from antenatal has just sent me a 22 page epic on acupressure points that induce labour that you might like to use to 'top up' your acupuncture? If you (or indeed anyone else) wants to PM me your email address, I'll send it through. I'm off for a bath - I think I'm becoming not only nocturnal but amphibious as well.... our water bill is going to be ENORMOUS!!!
I thought I'd introduce myself. I've just gotten a BFP after my first cycle of IVF. I feel kind of guilty I fell on my first cycle as so many ladies here and in the other forum have been waiting so much longer than me. I think I'm really disorientated, like I'm having an out of body experience, when I wake up I will find I just dreamt that I'm UTD.
I'm really nervous about my scan in 2 weeks. I don't even have any pregnancy symptoms. The only thing I have is a permanent pain in the stomach, not nausea, frequent urination or anything. I don't even have overly sore (.)(.) unless I prod them (TTC habit).
to all. I'm too lazy to go back now and have a look at the previous page 
Hope you are all travelling well.
It's so much fun, we really enjoyed people's reactions!
