You're getting so close oneday Enjoy your scan tomorrow!
JBM - They've really made you wait for that scan! Only a few more days...
afm - Went to my first antenatal class yesterday. All good except for feeling out of place with no belly!
Hi Girls - yes I am still here from time to time. Just had a lot to deal in the past few weeks. A couple of trips to hospital. One was for not feeling any movement over 24hrs, then another was because bub hadn't really grown in about 2 - 3 weeks. Anyway, I don't want to bore you with the details, but basically he is tiny yet healthy. So OB wants us to push through until scheduled date next Wed.
I have to say acupuncture has helped me with these issues greatly. Since I went back for appts I bub grew really well just in one week. I'm using it to get me safely through to my C-Section too.
I take Clexane blood thinner injections like Possums did. So I'm crossing my fingers that it's all out of my system in time otherwise I will have to undergo a general anaesthetic and miss the whole thing, which saddens me. However, I'm staying positive. Not long now and best to make sure everything is safe and well.
Trishy - you will beat me too slightly. Best of luck with it all. I know you've had a bit of a rough ride with your symptoms, but the time is here, so well done for making it through. And you know it's all worth it!!! Will be thinking of you.
To the rest of you girls, it's all sounding good from what I can see. Progressing with the usual ups and downs, but still progressing which is the main thing right! I personally can't believe how quick the pregnancy flies by..............so I urge you to enjoy it when you can. Before you know it, your time is here
Kass: yes in my bely buddies group most of the ladies have had theirs even those due a week after me ?. maybe it's just a Tassie thing. we aree a bit laid back down here. there is only one public hospital in Hobart so they did tell me that the waiting time was 3 weeks to get a scan booked in.
one week in the morning. i just wanna know everything is fine. i love feeling the kicking and just wanna know all is o.k with baby. i am sure the other ladies at your class were envious of your little belly. good luck
mindhugs: not long til next wed, counting down, hopefully you don't have to have the general anesthetic, fingers crossed. best of luck to you. x x
JBM, I didn't have my scan until 20 weeks but mostly because I knew that unless there was a problem I wouldn't get another scan so I wanted to have it a bit later so that it wouldn't be as long a gap between it and the birth and also because I really, really wanted to know the gender of the baby so the later the scan was done the better chance they'd be able to give me a definate answer... though they still refuse to say definately or even give a percentage chance... the best I got was when I had to go back for a scan at 30 weeks and they said "probably a girl".
I can still feel bub moving around alot which seems strange as by this stage with my daughter I couldn't feel her move because the space was so tight. The student midwife always comments on how tight my belly is but it doesn't feel it to me (well not like it did with my daughter). My belly button hasn't popped out like it did with her... it's basically flat now instead of being an innie!
I'm still no closer to choosing a name and that does worry me a bit. Part of me wonders if the reason I am having so much trouble making up a name is because the baby is really a boy and I'm trying to make up a girls name!
Mindhugs, goodluck for next Wed. I hope you can be awake for the C-section and that everything goes well. It's amazing how accupuncture can work in so many ways isn't it. Glad you are having success with it. I used it on my last cycle of IVF (the only successful one) but haven't had it since.
Kaybee, Thanks for popping in. It would be strange to look at your son and think he's only just meant to be arriving now! How come your original IVF date and your other due date are so different from each other?
AFM: I'm feeling really fat, tired and struggling to do alot. My parents left on Tuesday and won't be back until next Monday so I'm taking a bit of a break from the reno's. I did sort through a heap of paperwork yesterday (and shredded a ton) as I want to get my bedroom in order but I find getting up and down from off the floor is really hard now so it is making things a bit more difficult. Will be nice though when I can have an organised room with space for the baby. Have had to put alot of stuff into storage though as there is no room for it (tons of books from my grandparents as I no longer have room for the bookcase in my bedroom etc).
dreamrise-thats funny that you are making up girls names, maybe it will come to you when you see him inthe flesh?
hi kaybee- enjoy your little one!!
jbm-hope your scan comes around quick, thats nice that Dh is coming with you
mindhugs- good for your little strong man, have they told you when to stop the clexane?
I do acupuncture too, it helped me a lot through ivf treatment
oneday- that isn't very many appts, but if you are worried just ring the hospital and talk to the midwives. I cannot beleive you are in the last 10 wkks either, that has gone so quickly, make the most of it xx
kass- maybe you should stick a pillow in your top next class?!? I agree people will be very jealous cos you will be moving around much easier than they will
trishy- good luck! You have done well to get to where you are with such bad sickness xx
afm- still loving myself sick with my bfp!! Tiredness is kicking in and I have a big week at work next week but having holidays in Sept to that should be good timing
Today is my official due date - was very strange looking at my little boy thinking that he was only fully cooked as of today. And according to my original IVF date he isn't due until next thursday. Thank you so so much for all of your lovely congrats. I hope I see you all around in the other threads!
Best of luck with your pregnancies and births (cherish every second - it goes so quickly and who knows how long till we'll be back here again, or what we'll have to go through to get here)..
Better go - my boobs are needed
xxxooo
Enjoy your scan tomorrow!
