Good luck Grub... hope your dad will be fine. As long as he is prepared and set up in a small room, it will be a hard few days until you hear from him. x
Just wanted to send a big congratulations to all you ladies who have had their bubs. I recognise so many of you from old threads which gives me some added inspiration to continue TTC.
I hope that you enjoy every moment with your little ones and also wish you all much sleep!
Juniper & Leabie - huge congrats on the safe arrival of your precious little girls. I long for that day!!!
Possums - well done on the scan. What a relief!!! I bet you are feeling a lot more confidence now.
BugsMum - thanks for the list update.
Grub -I hope family in FNQ are all safe. Looks like it wasn't as bad as anticipated - thank god! I'm a Queenslander! The floods, the cyclones!
AFM - I had another scan yesterday. All is looking good. Dr estimates I am 9.5wks, I estimate 10.5wks, the baby is measuring at 11wks 1day. So who knows, but we are going with due date of 27th August still. I'm gearing up for the nuchal fold scan and possibly an amnio. I'm very prepared to do one if necessary.
I'm getting 3 good days and then about 3 sick days. Still on progesterone pessaries, but looking at slowing that down and cutting them out soon which I'm hoping will help the symptoms...........also due to all the surgery I've had on my abdomen I am showing already. It's becoming harder to hide it from people.
well it ended up crossing slightly further south than originally predicted, which means that was better for my family and friends... not so much for poor old tully and mission beach which sounds like it's been devastated. I think you'll find, like in larry, most of the destruction was because of older buildings that weren't cyclone coded (ie there was no code when they were built) and all the new stuff stuck well.
so big sigh of relief that all is good. and seriously, the fact that over such a large area, there is mostly crop and vegetation damage is pretty good all things considered... not sure if that came out right but i'm just so glad there's been no deaths!
yayay mindhugs!!! scans are such a double-edged sword - you want to see but you don't jic!
possums - was it you asking about amnio etc??? cos Murph (you know her hey?) had one with Jazzy and i'm sure she'd give you her perspective on it.
well i still have to stay clear of Ash! boo hoo. but i think probably tomorrow. I did sneak in a cuddle this morn tho... he kept following me, whinging wanting to be picked up... it turned out all he wanted was a cuddle from his mummy (didn't want nan-nan) so that made me feel so wonderful. once he deemed cuddle over, he was happy to play lol
i also officially feel huge! 20 weeks and i feel about 40 weeks. putting my joggers on this morn was a tribulation... ended up getting dh to tie the laces cos it was just too much effort. pft.
suppose that what happens when you get UTD when your first is 10 months old lol. still all fat and loose from the first one!
hope you are all well girls. thanks for the well wishes. ox
My nephew lives in Townsville and as per a normal 22 year old wondered what all the fuss was about.
We also have family friends who own the caravan park in Cardwell. They all evacuated to Townsville but we don't know if they have anything left standing at this point in time will have to wait and see.
With all these things happening it makes you wonder if anywhere is safe to live these days... either bushfires, floods or cyclones...
Grub, glad your family are all safe. Very cute story about the cuddle.
mindhugs- great news about your scan...you must also feel a bit more reassured now, as each week passes. I am showing a bit too...I am only small and any bump is noticeable...but people at work know anyway, so I dont have to hide it
kelly- much be scary for your friends who own that caravan park...lol about your nephew. And i hope you are doing ok
afm- no option for private obstetrics after 12 weeks here, and yesterday had my first appt with the hospital antenatal clinic...it was exciting to finally make it far enough to go to the clinic and the appt. went well and my latest progesterone results are all good (still over 200).
Just a question for those who are further along, or who already have a child... how many scans did you have/are having during yourpregnancy? I really do wish I could have my own Ob throughout, just for reassurance and the chance for more scans if i am anxious etc. The clinic is good of course, and because I am high risk I will see a dr each time, but it's different to building up a rapport with the same person each time.
So from here it will be 12 week, 18 wk, 28 wk, then regular scans from there to check growth (due to antiphospholipid). I asked if I could have any other scans inbetween, but nope, unless I 'self requested' and I am not even too sure how that works. I have asked my IVF nurse, who is also a midwife at the hospital....in the past she has offered to help me out with extra scans if i get anxious. I guess once I can feel movement that will be good, but until then....
Just wondering what others experiences have been, or what others plans are? thanks :-)
