BDT - my heart sank also hearing your news. So sorry that happened for you. I felt so positive that this was your natural miracle. Looking at those 2 gorgeous girls, you know what you are capable of, and it's not over for you by a long shot. As I said to you before, you have been one of the main inspirations that has kept me going on my fertility journey, particularly through 2 harrowing miscarriages last year. Enjoy your trip to Europe and take care of yourself xxxxxxx
JBM - yay - you go girl! That's such great news for you.
OneDay - congrats on the little girl bub. Aw, love girls. So easy to shop for, as I am finding out - since we are having a boy!!! Nothing much out there for boys.
Kaybee - I've got my blood sugar test next week. I can't stop eating sugar though, and now I think I'm getting thrush.....................
Grub, Poss, Trishy - hey girls
AFM - holding my cousins hand through her first IVF cycle. She has only enough money for one stim cycle and has literally not listened to any of the tips or guidance I gave her, nor did she pay much attention to the info sheets her clinic gave her. It's been very frustrating as she believed she would get loads of blasties and fall straight away. Out of 15 eggs, they put one back and she got none to freeze. If her bub on board doesn't work she's out until she can save enough money in another 12 months time, by which time she'll be 40!!! I so wanted to pass on all the things I've learnt that no one told me so she could get her best chance with this one shot. Particularly since her and her partner have tried naturally for 10 years already with only one early miscarriage in that whole time.....................so girls, I'm feeling frustrated and under-appreciated. The barrage of questions from her as the reality of it is becoming apparent is killing me, since I briefed her so thoroughly. Aaaaaaargh!
Me and bubs are good though
Oneday - congrats on your girl - now you can go to town with the shopping So many cute things to buy...
Mindhugs - your cousin sounds frustrating - denial maybe? Glad you're going well
Kaybee - hope you don't need to go to insulin - enjoy the party
Albi - so sorry for your loss I still have no symptoms at all - not even fuller boobs - I've decided that after the ivf my body is just used to all the hormones, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't get any nausea at all! Hope you're the same
Hi Aimee, Grub, possums, trishy, and everyone I've missed
afm - really nothing new. Just cruising along feeling completely normal still. This really isn't what I was expecting!
sorry been mia a bit. keyboard played up and i've been really tired.
albi - that is just awful. my heart goes out to your family and your dh. he must be full of mixed feelings regarding life/death and the pregnancy. i hpoe saturday is a healing day for the family. oxxo
bdt - NO! no no no no! that's what i felt when i read your post. not fair. stupid ef-fing universe! big hugs to you darling. take time to take care of yourself! and be kind to yourself. oxxox
well yep as kaybee said 35 weeks! i think i must be the next 'due' or is there someone else??? having quite a bit of pre labour stuff atm. a bit of bleeding (mw thinks it was maybe the start of my 'show'), back aching, crazy nesting, lots of movement from bubs and loads of period-type pain. also carrying fairly low. i don't really want anyone to arrive til my mum does on june 18 tho! lol. But i'm so excited part of me thinks (in 10 day's time would be good).
oh better go DS is being a mental case. driving me nuts. daddy going away really screwed his head! poor bubba. oxox
Even though I have now graduated from this thread now - again - I thought you might like a look at our birth pic's. I'll still be stalking you all and can't wait to see the new faces in the parenting thread and of course now things are on the move with grub hopefully I'll be able to pass on the good news of her bub's arrival to you all.
So anyway we are home and OMG all my 3 children are in bed asleep, so I'm trying to get some washing done - boys and there ability to pee and poop through everything - and to upload my birth pic's on Facebook.
For those girls not on FB and who want to have a look here is the link: Rhys Patrick & Liam James Allen 11/05/2011 | Facebook
We have some really graphic pic's of the birth that I didn't put on FB but shall we say that we got a good look inside my tummy...
Oneday - big congrats on the pink bundle!!! so exciting
Kaybee - oh dear, hope your sugar levels are ok, hope the birthday party goes well too!
Albi - I'm so sorry, sending hugs to you and family. Wow sounds like you've had a massive week. My morning sickness was different with each bub - from 6 weeks with DD1 I vomited for 7 months. with DD2 I only vomited from 6-14 weeks, and with this baby I have only vomited a couple of times, just really tired and hungry alot, some nausea from about 6 weeks. Its so hard to tell, I have friends who have no ms at all.
Mindhugs - glad to hear you and bub are well, goodluck with your cousin, its not nice feeling frustrated and under-appreciated esp when you've been trying to help.
kass - hi and glad to hear you're going well
grub - so exciting, def sounds like baby is getting ready soon - eek - I had DD1 exactly 1 week after my "show". hope bub can hold out til your mum arrives though! still so exciting!
Kelly - wow supermum already, sounds like everything is going really well!
AFM - nothing new just wanted to say hi, wishing my pregnancy body would keep up with all the things I want to get done lol!
Just a quickie as I no longer have Internet access at home (hopefully will be on with new service in a couple of weeks - it's killing me not having it).
BDT - so sorry to hear your sad news. I was hopeful your bleed wasn't too major. Fingers crossed that you have another miracle when you feel ready to try again.
Well I have finished my new job working with the Aspergers boy as yesterday he basically lost the plot when I tried to get him to do his school work and he started throwing things at me (tape player, Size D batteries, 2 glasses of water, and whatever else he could get his hands on) all the while he was swearing at me and then he threatened to punch and kick my tummy (he had already told me the day before that he knew there was a baby in there so it was really stressful when he then made those threats). I ended up in tears and his mum had to come home from work. It was actually really scarey. The agency I was working for have now decided from an OH&S perspective it is too dangerous for me to continue... so I'm unemployed again!
On top of that we have started cleaning and repairing the unit at the back of my house which my old tenant basically wrecked before she did a runner owing rent and bill money. We had to remove all carpet, underlay and curtains and burn them and have bleached the concrete and sugar soaped the walls. Now leaving it to air out for a few days to see if the smell from her dogs urine and poo everywhere will clear. We also found piles of used needles all over the unit, dog **** in plastic bags and hidden under furniture and saucepans and pots of fat and god knows what hidden in the bathroom cupboard, the TV unit and wardrobe! I can't believe someone could live like that!
Anyway with some luck we might only have to repaint one room and do a little bit of patching and then get new carpet and underlay and replace 5 doors and then be able to rent it out again. Oh and she also left 6 rotten mattresses and a couch here for me to have to take to the tip!
As for bub... well the day after I wrote about not feeling any movement I finally starting feeling it... which was nice.
I also had another trip to emergency with those same pains that I got just before Easter. They have not decided that it is caused by a virus in my chest lining and if I wasn't pregnant they would give me pain killers and anti-inflammatories but due to the pregnancy I can't have the later. The Dr was suprised it has gone on this long but did tell me to come back again in a few days if it's still persisting... though he has no idea what else they will be able to do.
25 weeks now... I have found this pregnancy so much more taxing physically then my last (granted that was about 15 years ago). I hope I go a little early because at the moment another 15 weeks just seems far too long.
Kass - I have some reassurance knowing you have no symptoms either!! It's driving me insane. When I got my BFP my breasts were tender and swollen. Now they may still be slightly larger (not sure now) but not sore!! Also have shocking head cold so feel tired and was a little nauseas yesterday but that's probably cause I'm sick!!
JBM - sorry your feeling sick!! When did u start your M/s?
Drbee - congratulations!!
AFM - as Ive said I'm worried about lack of symptoms. I'm 6w5d and desperate for that scan!! Very scared it will be empty. Had a tiny amount of orange mucous today with a little pink. Hoping it goes away. No cramping or anything.
sorry i havn't had time to do any personals as only have net at work atm
bummer hey
still feeling sick, i have been for since about 6 weeks and now it is in the morning and evening as well. no throwing up yet just feel like it, which is worse !!!!
i had sickness with 2 of my boys and nothing at all with 3rd boy only reflux after about 5 or 6 months preg. so who knows ??
i will be having a scan at 11 weeks so 3 weeks and 2 days... another thing to count down to.
yipee
will hope to get internet on at home soon as i am going crazy . lol
