Jaki, yay for great numbers! Can't wait to hear how your u/s goes!
Renee, that's so cute! I've found I'm starting to think about what bub might be able to hear.
OT: With regards to the patio, our house is L-shaped and we'll be filling in the L part to make a rectangle (if that makes sense). The patio will be on the western side of the house, with the house to the east and north. Since the land rises to the east, we actually don't get much sun until the afternoon (western sun), but I noticed last week that the western wall of the rumpus was quite warm to the touch, and that's in winter... I'm a bit concerned that we won't get much breeze since it'll be completely sheltered on two sides. The roof will sit about a foot above the existing house roof, rather than meeting up with it, and the tradesman that DH wants to use said that we don't need insulation in that situation since the hot air can escape through the gap. I guess I'm just not convinced since I don't have any experience with any of it...
A big congratulations to everyone who has had great blood test / scan results. It makes me feel very positive!
I haven't really thought about the whole BD thing whilst pregnant before but I can understand if people don't want to or are worried. We had friends who abstained for the whole 9 months (twice) as the DH could not get around the pregnant thing and thought he was 'poking' his baby the whole time! lol....
Juniper - we built a deck onto the western side of our house, and put half laser light (50%) I think, and half tin (ie three strips of each in a row). It works really well, in summer you can get in the shade and in winter you can get in the sun. We don't have insulation, but it can get cold here at night even in summer so we have a gas heater to put under there if we need it. It also has a fence around and gate so I can put the kids out there even when it's raining so they can have a play outside and stay dry! Good luck with the building.
AFM - I have started to get some nausea setting in, particularly if I haven't eaten in ... oh say 30 minutes - yesterday I ate all day long! It's weird can't stand sweet stuff at the moment which is really unlike me... Had blood tests last week and Dr hasn't rung (she said she would if there was a problem) so assuming that is a good thing and I will see her in a month.
Here's to a nausea free day (funny a couple of days ago I was wishing I felt more pregnant and now I wish nausea was gone! Just can't be pleased)
Thanks Maggie. I was the same with sugary things - I couldn't eat them for weeks because they made me very, very sick. It was only when I got to 12 weeks and the m/s started fading that I could tolerate them again.
Hello Everyone,
I've been lurking a bit on this thread, so I thought I'd join in.
Congratulations to everyone here! I've been following people in the various forums and it's wonderful to see people get their BFP finally and their babies too, eventually!
My story is that I'm 12 weeks along, after a bumpy early start to the pregnancy (with lots of spotting, a threatened partial molar pregnancy, now ruled out thank God, and just a lot of angst/emotion due to the LTTC).
So, we had our NT scan on Tuesday and things were looking good, with low risk for Downs thankfully and just a very cute picture on screen. My DH and my dad were both really freaked by the images but my mum and I were just loving them. My parents weren't at the scan by the way - just showed them the DVD later. When the reception offered us the DVD my DH thought they would film us going into the room like a home movie! I thought that was pretty funny -it's that big a deal for us, obviously, but perhaps not for the staff at the ultrasound place.
Anyway, anyway ... I've been taking what I thought was this really "pure" New Zealand fish oil extract and it has 10mg of rosemary extract in it, and then I read online that pregnant women should avoid rosemary extract. But I emailed the company and they said it's a "trace" amount and safe. Obviously, I'll ask my ob next available opportunity, but does anyone have any experience? I want to take Omega 3 right now bc I read it's a key brain development time.
Anyway, well done everyone here and I'll try personals soon, too when I have rabbited on less.
