BDT - CONGRATULATIONS! How does that happen? I forgot that people can actually fall pregnant naturally. That is awesome.
And elocin too - congratulations. It is so nice to be part of the disbelief/excitement of just finding out.
Kelly - oh my god - it is so close now. Yeah, I know it probably still feels like a lifetime away for you, but oh my god - they're nearly outta there!
Hello all of you other lovely ladies too!
Congratulations BDT!!:happyforyou:
O.K girls here's the update.....
I'm booked in for next Wednesday at 10.30am for these boys to be delivered, so all arranged. I also had my growth scan today and twin a is in a nice breech position at the moment and weighing just over 2.8kg (6lb 2oz) and twin b is sitting tranverse under my ribs and is weighing in just over 3kg (6lb 7oz) and we still have another week of growing to do and to put it into perspective DD was 3.12kg's born (7lb) so we have a couple of big boys in there.
So excited for you Kelly!!!
:think: I wonder if 7am Wednesday is too early to start stalking the BA thread?
elocin: yeah i'm with you for stalking the birth announcements. lol. hope everything is going well for you, when is your next scan ?. hope you're feeling o.k. :-)
kelly: wow yeah some big boys in there, good luck for it all, hope it goes well. fingers crossed. we cant wait to hear the birth announcement. lots of good luck for it all. x x
kass: how are you going ?, hope all is well. good luck to you and thanks for your support. x x
possums: great you're having a good time with hubby. as for the ear thing, i have hot ears ?. like they are heaps warmer than the rest of my body ?. lol. who knows whats happening.

LOL

Hi ladies i had my first midwifes apppointment today :) was long but was so worth it to hear bubs heart beat again, i could never get sick of hearing that! Have any of you hired a dobler machine? im thinking about getting one?
I also booked in me antenatal classes which start in july-august for 5 weeks one night a week but once i got off the phone i realised i will only be about 26 weeks preg when they start, is that too early to do them? or does it not matter.
oh that's a complete rip off jbm!!! the chocolate thing i mean! lol.
kelly- wowee girlfirend! you are awesome! those boys are going to be ready to go home before you! fingers crossed they come by their own accord before weds.... but i get the feeling they are rather comfortable in there lol.
heya kaybee!!!
:)
possums how you trundling? got your card re that book. thank you!
ugh, feel very taxed today. rang the mw about some pain i'm getting in the middle front of my belly, between boobs and bellybutton. think it's muscular but with the terrible groin twinges, swollen feet and gravity pulling on my belly, i just feel uuuggghhh. doesn't help DS was a toad with his day sleep today and he woke up on a foul mood!
oh my back hurts too.
whinge whinge whine whinge.
belly rubs oxoxo
BDT - Awesome news. Got your text and will respond :)
Possums - life is one big holiday!!! La la la la la la. Hope you are feeling ok with that ringing in your ears. Enjoy every minute of it (the holiday that is).
Elocin - yay another newbie!!! Congrats. Looking forward to following your journey too!!!
Kelly D - well it's about time girlfriend! You do have some big boys in there. Gosh I bet Wed can't come quick enough for you. We will all be WAITING to hear, so don't keep us in suspense too long............Woohoo!
Grub - I keep forgetting I'm preggers and getting off the couch and out of bed using my tummy muscles, and them whoops, I pull a muscle.
OneDay - I don't think that's too early at all for antenatal. Go for it! I don't get to do it as I'm having a CS.
Hi Kass & Kaybee!
AFM - is everyone feeling UGH, or is it just me? Gosh, I've been so depressed this week. Could be the weather, could be our lack of finances - I'm not sure! I even had a little sook the other day, which I'm blaming on the hormones. Hoping it will pass soon. Nappies are on sale this week! Bought a box of "Newborns" for $33, and we also FINALLY chose and bought a pram for huge discount at Pram Warehouse!!! So have kicked some goals this week. Although if you add the very steep $2,000 Obstetrician Management Fee bill I also paid this week it probably discounts all those savings :( :( :(
oneday - we did our classes from 26 weeks cos DH was going away. we were a few weeks behind the other couples but it really didn't make any difference as it's mainly for your info. so enjoy!!!
yeah MH i think it's just getting over it all!
taking my nanna (who is visiting with us this week) and DS for a mother's day morning tea so best go and sort child out etc. oxo
Hi everyone,
Kelly, good luck for Wednesday. I hope all goes well and will also be joining the girls in stalking BB to find out your news as soon as possible.
I have a shocking cold at the moment and saw my GP yesterday (told her about the pains under the rib etc and she said it could still be my gall bladder - inflammed rather than actual gall stones and that wouldn't be obvious on an ultrasound so she said if the pains continue she will organise more tests). Anyway due to the pregnancy I was told that I can't take any over the counter cold-flu medication so just have to ride it out and hope it doesn't drag on too long.
Lori
DD - 14
Bub due 28th Aug.
Kelly all the best for Wednesday
I'm really sick rang the ob but he is in surgery. Think I need to be hydrated
Just trying to distract myself as it's made me mental down
Hi,
Kelly - Good luck sista! It's only a few days away. . I can't believe how big they are - I thought twins were usually smaller than normal. Woah - lucky you're having a CS! Can't wait to see your BA too
JBM - good on you for getting yourself a prez. I think about all the thought and effort I put in at father's day buying and making stuff for DH from DS and when it's my turn nothing happens - He says, "it's all so commercial" - So? Get amongst it and buy me something. Think I will follow your lead.
Mindhugs - Sorry you are feeling a bit down. That sucks. I've also had a few teary moments this week, over the most stupid little things. It's not like me at all, so I reckon it must be hormones. Hope your weekend makes you smile again.
Grub - did you sort out that tummy pain? And is your back pain here to stay? (mine is just starting too - yay). Does your DS sense when you are feeling a bit (or a lot) yuk and bung on the behaviour just to make it worse? Whinge away luv - hopefully it helps!
DR - sorry to hear you are also feeling crappy. Hope it doesn't last too long.
Possums - ahh - spread some of that holiday feeling around here please. Glad you are enjoying yourself
Oneday - I think 26 weeks will be fine to start. If it goes for 5 weeks then you'll be 32 weeks by the end of it. I wouldn't want to start it too much later anyway.
AFM - I am going to have a baby. Like, in August! There's going to be another little person in my house. There's going to be a little baby for me to look after and cuddle and feed and all that. Sorry - I'm sure you have all realised this for a while, but I just had a moment of realisation last night when putting DS to bed that this is really going to happen. Really. Aaaahhhhh
I'm out girls.
Good luck to you all xo
oh elocin! that's awful news. I hope you are okay. sending you lots of hugs sweetie. take care of yourself. oxoxxo
Elicon im so so sorry to hear :( there is NO words to make anyone feel better after a loss, just dont be down on your self becuase your turn will come! I had a miscariage last yr in june and it was the hardest part of our IVF journey but it did make me stronger and more appreciative for today. I hope to see you in here again really soon, please take care of your self xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks girls for your advice on antenatal classes, i will stick with the dates iv got xxxx
Oh Elocin I'm so sorry darl. Take care of yourself xx
oneday: hope you are going well and got those classes organised.
elocin: big big hugs to you. it's so hard. x x x o o o
kaybee: lol, for just realising. afm well i still don't think it's real but i am just 5 weeks. ha ha. yeah for getting own prezzy. i always do it !!. then i don't get ripped off. x
trishy: remember you do need to look after yourself, hope you're feeling better x
dreamrise: bummer for a cold and no meds. hope you feel better soon. x
grub: have a nice time with your nanna , good luck . hope it's a nice day for you.
mindhugs: i tink a lot of us are feeling yuk. it's just that time of year. yeah for some savings on the pram, lets not think about costs. good luck to you .
who ever i missed: sorry for missing you , hope all is well with your preg, whatever stage you're at
afm: well i have a bit of a cold or something, runny nose sometimes and i am feeling really really tired especially in the arvo time ?
i think growing babies is taking it out of my body.
11 days til scan
we may be moving into our rumpus/ garage in the next week, a bit early and then taking a break from building our house for a little while. our house is not started yet but our garage will fit us all in there and it's just like a house on the inside. even got a spa and double shower heads over.
i'm so excited to have some more room.
our house will be built someday..............................
chat soon to all
Elocin I'm so sorry :hug:
Elocin - I'm so sorry it didn't work out this time. I really hope that you don't have to go through any more crap before it's your turn. All the best - see you back here soon xo
JBM - so jealous on the building a new house thing. Wow. We are thinking about trying to sell later in the year when the weather gets warmer again (our house is so cold and damp in winter) and would LOVE to build a new one somewhere - but that's just it isn't it - finding a nice block somewhere. Is it far from where you are now? Sounds like you've got all the important things planned - spa and shower!
Just a quick question for you all (yeah yeah, all about me) - how often is it normal to get those belly tightenings? I don't think they're called braxton hicks this early on are they? Not sure, but just wondering how often you all get them. You see I when I was pg with DS I had a threatened prem labour and had to go into hospy for a week at 26 weeks (all worked out fine and he was born full term, phew!). And now, I am 26 weeks and have been having these thightenings, which I think are normal, but then I go through these periods where they come every few minutes and I am starting to worry. Tell me it's all normal and your bellies all do the same thing, please
Hi Ladies
Just a quick one hope you're all ok.
Elocin - I'm so so sorry :( bug hugs, I can't say anything to make it better but thinking of you.
Kaybee - I get them all the time (3 or 4 a day) and if its when I'm lying down I can see the whole shape of my uterus when it goes tight/hard. But if they are coming at regular intervals I would ring your midwife/ob and talk about it. I think (i could be wrong) but if hey come to regularly they can bring on labour. Hope that helps and hope they settle down for you.
xoxo
hi girls! happy mothers' day!!!! :)
kaybee i always thought that if they were uncomfy or painful in any way to see your mw or doc. otherwise if painless they are fine. but i'm not sure. I get them very irregularly, that or don't notice them so can't be much help. :)
hope everyone has a lovely day. DS and i started ours with a walk on a goregous morning. DH slept in pft and has probably forgotten it's MD :(
grub: typical hey. hope your mothers day gets better. happy mothers day to you. x
aimee: hope you are doing well, i have a while to go before i get any of those tightenings. lol. good luck to you
kaybee: we are living in a temporary transportable unit on our block and have been here a little while, but decided we needed more room. i designed the house, changed my mind about 1000 million times lol. but i can't wait to start building, but need a break while i am preggers and have baby/ babies. ha ha. dunno about the tightenings as it was 8 years since i was preg last and cant remember? lol
good luck to you anyways.
it's a little quiet in here atm
hi to everyone i forgot
afm: well nothing new. i got a preg book and was reading about how big my babies are atm, i can't wait til my scan. 10 days to go now....
i have acupuncture booked for friday and my acu lady is the most gorgeous acu lady ever. this will be my first acu since finding out pregnancy. i love it as it is so relaxing.
one of my boys made me a bookmark with picture of bra and undies on it ?, lol, cause i wear these thngs he said. so cute.
i am making a roast turkey thigh for tonight and i got some of the vegies ready last night. i would rather cook dinner and have something thats not spag bol. lol. i do luv you DH, but spag bol every time can become boring. x x
my sis and i are organising a weekend away for us with NO kids in the next month or so, she is due mid oct and is about 16 weeks now. i cant wait as we don't see each other all that often. she lives other end of tassie. :-(
chat soon
jbm - :ROFL: at your mum's day gift. how adorable! that's definitely one to show him in 20 years' time. just too cute.
well i feel mean cos while it took til 10am for DH to remember it was MD, he did actually get me a beautiful brand new expensive nappy bag i had my eye on for awhilhe :) it was even wrapped! and there was a card from ds :)
i've just sent him off to fetch morning tea for us lol. I also got three gorgeous kisses, and I mean proper puckered lips kisses (not open mouthed, drool soaked tonguies haha) from Ashton. Oh first time mummies, i just can't tell you enough how beautiful children are... especially at that gorgeous toddler stage (even with the tanties lol).
we are heading off this arvo for a sunset picnic at the beach. so i'm really looking forward to that and letting ash play in the sand (sand, apparently, ROCKS MAN!).
ox
Hi everyone
Grub - so sweet kisses, glad you ended up having a good day with DH and DS!
JBM - thankyou, cute present, I also made roast turkey thingy for our mothers day dinner with my mum on Friday - it was so good, now I want turkey all the time!!! So exciting to be building your own design! We are also building but I don't think ours will be ready before bub either. Can't wait to hear your news after your scan aswell and see how many bubs are hiding in there.
Oneday - your scan must be soon, exciting!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one with the ovary pain. They checked my ovaries at my scan and said they were still huge, they might check on yours too for you. Hope it goes well! I think we did our classes about 26 weeks ish too, its good to do them just incase you are early for some reason I think? Hope they go well though, mine freaked me out completely! I also have a doppler, I didn't buy one with my other too but this time have found it very reassuring, haven't used it in a few weeks though as I can feel baby alot now (I'm 24 weeks).
MH - I think we might actually have the same c-section date! that ob bill is a killer. Yay for new pram though, so exciting to be thinking about your little man who'll be riding in it! Hope you're feeling better this week, I had a few emotional/irrational weeks but think I'm back to normal-ish now, so hope it doesn't last long.
Kelly - Goodluck for Wednesday! Wow so surreal still, enjoy lots of cuddles and I hope you get some rest between now and c-day.
Kaybee - Hope the tightenings have settled down for you!
Trishy - hope you're feeling better.
DR - hope you're feeling better with your cold and gall bladder pain
Possums - hope your holiday is going well and the pounding eases!
Hi Kass, williever, baby dreamtime and anyones else I've missed, hope you're all well.
AFM - am starting to have trouble bending, and I had something to ask about but have forgotten now, can't wait to tell my little ones about the baby but they are not good at understanding time concepts yet, DD thinks my tummy is big because I've been eating lots of food - lol.
Oh breastfeeding, I failed to produce milk with my girls (even took motilium after dd2), but am hoping this time is different. Does anyone know anything about PCO and how it affects breastfeeding? I know its not that big of a deal if I can't but I want to try to breastfeed baby. I figure if I can't produce eggs or lining properly because of hormonal problems, that is probably why I can't produce milk too? Does that make sense? But I've heard people say that your body produces milk better each time and I know other women who've had IVF and have breastfed. But I'm not sure what their fertility problems related to.
Hope that makes sense.
xoxo
aimee - i have pcos and never had trouble feeding. Scratch that, the only trouble i had was having a toad of a child who had better things to look at than feed! But i breast fed ds for 7.5 months and could have gone for longer but had to go back onto that horrid metformin before we tried for this bub.
I have never heard of ivf or infertility affecting feeding, nor has it occured to me but someone else might have an idea???
our DS is only 16.5 months old, so he's just too little to understand. I tell him there's a "baby in mummy's tummy" and point out babies whenever we see one. I've also been holding newborns at the various playgropus we go to, at first he was jealous, now he comes up for a look, pats the bub and usually goes away quite happy. but you can't tell how much he's comprehending as he doesn't talk ... well if you don't count duck, mummy, daddy and car!
ox
Hi ladeis, i hope all you mums had a nice mothersday and the mothers to be also got some spoiling!
Aimee my scan is next thursday 19th so so excited! cant wait to find out if we are having a little boy or girl :) yeah i think i will ask them to check my ovaries cause sometimes they are worse then others. I think i will get a doppler :) i just want to make the most of this pg incase its my last!
oh oneday that's so exciting! but word to the wise... the decision on whether we'd find out the sex was completely taken out of our hands at our 20 week scan when the cheeky little monkey crossed it's legs, put it's hands over it's groin area and the umbilical chord was also through the legs!!! so triple whammy!!! at first i was disappointed but it's certainly made things even more exciting!!! But had drastically cut my ability to shop lol. So i just wanted to warn you to be prepared JIC. WE only have the one scan being public so you may have another opportunity if your bub doesn't cooperate. Good Luck!!! ox
grub: hopefully you get another scan before bub is born and he/ she bahaves for this one. lol. yeah the mothers day presents sure get fun as they get past being babies, you too will have some of these. my first 2 are only 21 months apart and DS 1 was great with baby . but when i had number 3 he was almost 4 and i got him a cabbage patch doll so he would leave Ds 3 alone. lol.... he even breast fed her. lol. i am so going to make my kids have councelling. lol. ha ha ha. only joking. good luck to you.
oneday: how exciting !!! your scan is one day after mine but mine is only the 6.5 week scan. lol so prob wont see much. good luck to you and hope all goes well for the scan.x
aimee: yeah the trouble bending , i remember that. lol. i used to think fat people must feel like this all the time.. not being able to do up your shoe laces etc, and how hard it must be. hope it's not too hard for you. as for the bf thing i dunno the answer to that one. but good luck anyways. i love it that your daughter thinks you're just fat. lol. ha ha. i love it. good luck to you
to all those i forgot : hi to you and hope all is well.
afm: well it's not like i'm counting down til my scan.... 8 days to go now..... but i'm not counting ?!!!!. lol... much ha ha ha
i have still been a bit emotional and grumpy with DH a bit. lol. and no DTD cause i'm just too tired ALL the time ? so he is really miserable. ha ha ha ha ha. lol. i am so mean. lol
i hope the tiredness thing passes soon as it is so hard to work and do stuff for the family and everything else that wonder woman does when i am tired.
i have acu on fri so she may have some ideas for me
i have been going to bed early every night and still feel tired.
chat soon
8 days til first scan......
still not counting..... lol
.
hi everyone... just a quickie ....
elocin- i am so so sorry, i understand how hard it is and feel for you ...be gentle with yourself and I hope you are back here very soon
kelly- good luck for wednesday! woohooo, enjoy those first cuddles with your boys x
good luck to those with scans coming up!
and a big hi to everyone else
hey jbm cos we are going public, the 20 week scan was our only peak. so im so excited to actually find out. but all alaong we've had girl vibes :) but really don't mind cos i love little boys :)
Aimee - I've heard that about PCOS but I'm really not sure what the story is. I've got it too and have had plenty of milk. Perhaps there are other factors involved? Have you talked to a lactation consultant or maybe even give the ABA a call. They may have some advice for you.
Motillium will only work if the problem is with a lack of prolactin. :dunno:
Hi girls
1 DAY TO GO......
Be watching this space as grub is going to be posting my BA, I secretly think she is more excited than I am that they will be here tomorrow lol...
Hi All!
I am a little apprehensive about posting in here...
Anyhow.. After numerous strong BFP over the last couple of days I went and had an early BT as the wait was killing me! So at 12dp3dt (1 embie) my HCG came back at 151 so the FS has declared me pregnant!!! I'm having another BT tomorrow to see if numbers are doubling so I may begin to believe once I get those results!
No sign of AF, had a little bit of spotting for a couple of days but that has all stopped now.
So hopefully I'll be here to stay. EDC is 13 Jan 2012 :)
Albi congrats, yes its hard to get too excited at the start, hears hoping for strong numbers next BT.
Kelly all the best tomorrow.
I'm zonked the week of sickness took it out of me. Rehydration helped but still wasnt 100% after getting discharged from hospital
you betcha kelly!!!
I'll be out to get petrol in the morning but will be stalking most of the day ... and night!!! hhhooorrraaayyyy the wait is nearly over!!!
hi albi - those numbers sound good!
and trishy! how you going love?
ox
Goodluck kelly, cant wait to hear!!!
Grubs that would have been frustrating but i suprise will be nice :)! but knowing me i will pay to have another one if they cant see but hopefully they will be able too!
JBM well goodluck with yours too, at that stage mine was just a little blob with a heartbeat but still so amazing to see, so enjoy! xx
Were you ladies showing at my stage? iv already got quiet a belly on me lol, i dont have much fat too me but still suprised!
possums: hi to you, hope you're well and being good. sending you and bubs hugs.
grub: oh well what a great suprise. good luck to you and maybe get another one thru public as i did as 36 weeks with last baby cause i started to dialate 5 weeks early, by the way had baby 2 weeks early. lol. so just fake an early labour.:shakehead: lol
good luck to you.
madb: hi to you
kelly: wow one day to go..lots and lots of good luck for tomorrow. yeah grub prob is more excited to tell everyone as you'll be too exhausted for a while. ha ha. good luck and best wishes for the whole thing. :twin_neutral:
albi: welcome to our thread.. now i am not the newest member here, yipee. you are due one week after me. how exciting for you. lots of sticky vibes to you. x x :happyforyou:
trishy: hope you're feeling better soon. good luck to you.
oneday: every pregnancy is different, so don't worry as long as baby is growing. even my pregnancies i looked different with each one, one tiny and one huge and about same size babies. good luck to you.
hi to all i have forgotten
afm: well i have an app with the doc tomorrow morn to get a refferal to book in at the hospital and prob get the flu shot too. ouch !
tomorrow is one week til my scan........
:hooray:
still not counting... much.... lol
i'm still getting tired and i'm going to bed extra early tonight. sleep. sleep. sleep.
chat soon to all
Just popping in to wish Kelly all the best for tomorrow, can't wait to see your BA and the pics.
Hi to everyone else, haven't got the guts yet to come in here and post proper :). Will wait for my scan next Monday, I will only be about 6 weeks but Google says we should see yolk sac and fetal pole and maybe a heartbeat and will feel much better after that. Did get second BT results and hcg is 1800 at 20dpo, so nice and strong so I am crossing everything is all good this time. Xx
Hi everyone, cant believe I'm back in here...and just in time to wish Kelly lots of luck for tomorrow! Good luck Kelly to you and your little boys!
Woohoo farmgirl, just stalked your posts and see you have a natural BFP! Me too and no clexane for me either. Though I am right back on it just in case. How exciting xx
