Hi Ladies,
How's it all going? Where to start? From the top...
DR - Congrats on your little pink bundle growing in there! On the monitor thing - I didn't have one with DS as my house is tiny with mostly floorboards, so sound carries very easily. This time I am borrowing a good one from my brother but it doesn't do movement (as far as I know). Heaps of friends have said those ones are stressful as the alarm goes off all the time and they run in there in the middle of the night and everything is 100%fine. So, I don't know! I know what you mean about your mum's friend. People like that are hard work. You would think that they would try and enjoy their pregnancy a little bit after all they've been through and be over the moon when they get their healthy baby after all those years. But I guess, we all have our concerns and LTTTC gets to us in different ways. She might have always been a stresshead worrier anyway, even without the IVF. Glad all of your renos and cleaning are going well.
Aimee - Oh no - stretchies!!! Get rubbing girl. Not that much longer to stretch at least!
JBM - yay for sleeping through the night! Woohoo - (I think I remember that, but it's been a while)
Possums - your nursery sounds gorgeous. I can't wait to wash my little one's outfits too and hang them out. Your alien tummy sounds a bit freaky! Just kidding - how amazing is it!?!
Grub - come on. Get that bub out of there and into the real world. Really hope it all goes smoothly for you on the big day xoxoxo
Kass - movements won't be too far away, I hope.
Hi to everyone else!
AFM - not sure if I told you I had a scan last week? I have no memory these days. Anyway, all was perfect - baby on the small side, but with GD they worry about it being big, so that's all great! I actually think that if they went off my original IVF dates rather than the 12 week scan dates then it is measuring spot on. Only 3 days of work to go next week and then that's it. Yipeee
I took DH to a baby shop today (we were in the car and I said, 'oh let's just go this way so I can grab a few things'). So, I bought a basinett (one of the frilly things that I hate, but which are pretty practical) and looked at lots of other stuff. I think because I am still so small, it still seems quite far away for him. But then, for most men, they don't really GET IT until labour starts. Anyway, have a good weekend chicks! Chat soon, xoxo

just lost my post... it was basically a big whinge about how i'm now 3 days overdue. everyone kept saying 2nd time round comes faster and quicker! pft only wnet 4 days over with ds and he's only 18months old. losing faith in my body.
cry every day when i wake to find i didn't go into labour.
this just efphing really really sucks. AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH there's talk of inductions now and my mum is leaving soon. so miserable
Registered User
Oh Grubs great big hugs, will they do more than the sweep. Have they talked about gel to induce you?
I've caught up again. Sorry I'm slack. Just unwell and tired all the time.

Hi everyone
Grub - oh no, sending hugs, thinking of you and hope it happens asap!!! When is your mum going back, oh dear that must be a bit daunting. Don't be too hard on yourself
DR - wow you sound so busy hope the renovating is going well.
Kaybee - yay for new bassinette and baby shopping! it must be school holidays now, hope you get to put your feet up!
Hi trish hope you're going well.
AFM - baby seems to be going along well, still miss my mum and have had some good friends ignoring me this week but not sure why? why is it that only 1 or 2 areas of life seem to be able to go ok at once? Am baby sitting tomorrow and have guests coming for dinner must go and make sure house is clean but have no motivation!
Hi to all i've missed - hope you're all well!!
Take care everyone xoxo

Aimee the friends ignoring you do they have kids? I sometimes find my friends without children do that. Not that I am all baby and nappy talk. By no means am I suggestion you are either, but thought that might be an explanation.
Registered User
ha ha no they do have kids, heaps of kids! we have friends without kids too though who we often hang out with and it sometimes is so refreshing to see them to get away from all that mummy talk! I'm not all baby and nappy talk either. but thanks for the suggestion!
Registered User
Yes it refreshing to spend time with friends and leave behind the gag gag talk. Even if they are parents
Registered User
oops, I hope that didn't sound like I was being negative, I do adore spending time with my mummy friends and we do talk about our little ones as well as other topics, which are both good. Its just nice to feel like we can still hold a conversation with our other friends aswell
I try not to complain too much about this pg because I am just so grateful to still be pregnant, but bub keeps kicking everytime I lie down on either side. Does anyone ever worry they are squishing bub when lying on their side? I use other pillows for support and to try to alleviate pressure too but she still kicks or wiggles away for ages everytime I lie down or roll over.
Getting late, night all

Sending out some labour vibes for you grub! Hope you're not waiting much longer!
Registered User
aimee - lying on your side is the best thing and don't worry, the bub is well insulated
thanks for the vibes girls. i'm now 4 days over... the most preg i've ever been! had had ds by this time ggrrrr. But interestingly, going on my original fet transfer dates i'm only one day over!
had a s&s this morn, was slightly effaced, soft and stretchy and bub is still very low. so things are happening as they should, just slower than i'd like!
going for a rest now... been vacuuming, mopping and dancing with ds to try and entice bub out! lol.

kass: whats happening with you ? hope all is well.
possums: you're on single figures countdown to. oh how exciting. :-)
aimee: sometimes it's just good to chat to someone about the weather or politics even, not tantrums ( 2 year old or teenagers that is). i hope all is well for you. x
kaybee: i don't think men get it til the baby comes. lol. yeah for the baby stuff. how fun. and it's good to be prepared as you just never know what'll happen.
hi to all i have forgotten : sorry if i missed you
afm: well i had acu on fri , i love my acu lady she's so nice !!! i felt more relaxed and all is going well with my pulse etc for baby. yipee. then we had my DH mum's b'day on weekend, was fun and also had a family thing so was busy weekend for us all.
i started pilates last night. doing a 5 week course, my back has been out and i don't have good posture since being preggers so will try to help that. it was good. have never done it before.
lots of pelvic floor stuff o has to be good for me there too. stretches and core work.
i have been feeling a little less sick. still very tired and i sleep a lot. usually only making it to 9pm and waking about 7 am !!!!!!!!!!! it's amazing for me. lol
do i need to have the 13 week scan ?, as since i had one at 11 ?, i dunno
chat soon to all

Hi everyone
Grub - hoping it's happened! Must be a ba coming soon...
JBM - glad you're feeling better. Pilates sounds good, I've been meaning to check out something similar. Are you doing a regular or a preggy course? I don't know if I should start a preggy one now, or wait until I actually look slightly bigger - I feel self conscious rocking up with my flat belly!
Kaybee - sounds like you're getting organised - I'm sure the bassinet isn't that bad
Aimee - hope things are going ok with your friends.
Hi possums, trishy, bugsmum, oneday, dreamrise.... and everyone I've missed!

kass: i don't have the flat belly problem. lol. wait til you're having your 3rd or 4th pregnancy then you wont be flat.. i'm telling myself that so i feel better. lol. ha ha. it is just a normal beginners one to start off with. they do do preg ones but lady said this was better to begin with then maybe after the 5 weeks has finished i can look at another one. i started it cause i having back probs already as i have lazy spine and i'm slouching. if i don't do something now then i'll get real pain later on.
just do it. i didn't look preggers til i was about 25 weeks with baby number one and did all the classes, the ladies used to stir me saying i wa'sn't preggers. lol. but i did start to show and actually look pregnant at about 34 weeks and my DS 1 was born at 37 weeks, so i looked pregnant for only about 3 or 4 weeks. lol. ha ha. after all that he was still 8 pounds.
wow what a reply to you. a marathon effort.
afm: nothing new to report since yesterday. ha ha ha. i am stalking again.
chat soon to all
