mehimbub: oh not long now to go. yeah those pesky babies should just be in the right position then we wouldn't have to worry. lol. good luck. less than 3 weeks to go now. x
AFM: baby is just starting to wake. night time madness you know. we have an open home this weekend. fingers crossed someone want to put in an acceptable offer. my mother gave me $ 100 to get a "birth"present for baby. she is so weird, acts like she doesn't even care about me or my si being pregnant then wants me to get a pressy. not compaining but someitmes just wish knew what was going on in her head. he he he

I am sick of it actually...................people asking that is....................LOL
chat soon to all
-
JBM ~ your moving? when did i miss that?!?! Goodluck with it!! hope it isnt too stressful for you and things go smoothly!!!!
Hi Loops, Kass, mhb, coral - great to hear your scan went well.
Congrats Oneday!!! Welcome Earthside Ellie!!!
AFM ~ I've been doing 12 hour night shifts, and it along with the tiredness and morning sickness is killing me... on a plus note (massive one) I snuck out the back at work and got a doppler out and tried to listen to Spock. first night it took a while but I deff heard Spock for like 5 secs, really faint and in the background, but was there. 2nd night I tired again, took half as long and was right there =) like Spock was waiting for me and in the perfect spot =) I laid there for a good minute just listening, could have laid longer but had to get back to work =( but was so nice being able to hear Spock =)

Hey ladies just wanted to pop in to say thanks for the congrats and well wishes :) i dont have much time on my hands now with bub its crazy how quick the days go, she has been pretty unsettled in the afternoon/nights so im not getting hardly any sleep so been having a lay down each day! and all the visitors are starting to become a little overwhelming as much as i love them im looking forward to not having as many so i can try get bub in some kind of routine and myself for that matter. We are loving being mum and dad though and love our girl to bits, still so very surreal!! I will pop back in every now and again to see what you lovely ladies are up to but its now time for me to leave i guess :( I wish you all the very best with your new bundles of joy!! does anyone know of a thread which would be good for me to go to now???
P.s im going to miss this thread and all you ladies :(
-
oneday - I know what you mean! hence why we are having no visitors for the first week, hang in there it does get easier.....eventually :) and join the parenting after LTTC thread thats we usually gradute to next.
hope everyone is going ok
AFM - am so so so uncomfortable and keep getting headaches! I hope I am not going to be like 10 days over coz I don't think I could do this for another month! I feel so whingy and my poor son and DF are copping it bigtime!
-
MHB: oh lets hope you don't go over by 10 days then................even for DH and DS sake. LOL. best of luck for you going into labour early naturally. x o I think that visitors should only come to drop off a meal then go and wait til you are up to visitors. LOL best of luck to you
oneday: we are going to miss you too but accept that once you have baby you move on. cry cry. as i said to MHB i think no visitors unless they are dropping off meals or food, then they can just say hi and go. LOL. I made a sign that said "do NOT knock !, mother and baby sleeping and if you wake us up one of us is going to be very grumpy " from mummy this actually worked and then as i was up to it i let visitors in. he he he. best of luck and hope oyu guys get into a good routein soon. x o x o for you and baby
teirae: 12 hr night shifts and you wonder why you're tired !!! eek. i feel tired just thinking of that !. he he. but i do love that you can check on baby, that is just so so cute. awwwwwwwwwwwwww. yes our whole fam is moving from Tas to Qld in a few weeks. middle of summer, pregnant and moving to HOT climate when you're from TAS !! maybe insanity is the word i am looking for................he he he. best of luck to you.
hi to all i forgot.
-
Hi ladies :hello:
Oneday, great to hear from you and happy that you and bubs are doing well (although a bit sleep deprived!). Please dont be a stranger here, you are welcome to pop back anytime as we would love to have updates on how you are going. All the best xx
M+H+B, great that bub has turned! not long to go now...so very exciting!
JMB, good luck with the move, but definitely no heavy lifting for you!
Teirae, how exciting hearing the heartbeat on the doppler...such sweet sound to our ears! I hope things can settle down a bit for you at work and you can start taking it a bit easier. I thought tiredness would ease in the 2nd trimester but i'm finding its getting worse. Anyone else found this, or is it just me?
Coral, so happy your scan went well. How are you feeling now?
I had an early morph scan at 16 weeks on friday and am so relieved that everything looks perfectly normal with bub. I was referred to a different Ob who specialises sonography diagnostics and she basically said that despite by bloods increasing my risk for chromosome problems my baby looks normal and not to be too concerned now with the statistics. She feels that the actual scans have more weight that the bloods and also appears now that IVF pregnancies seem to have worse blood results with normal scan results. Also with the single umbilical artery now its just a case of monitoring growth later on as some babies with this can be smaller than normal. Bub is already at the lower end of normal for size, but then again i am a real shorty myself so i guess cant expect a huge baby?!
So feeling so much better now and really starting to relax a bit more and trying to enjoy this pregnancy. It all still seems so surreal however. I'm starting to get a proper baby bump now, so thats exciting...helping to make it all real. I think i am feeling confident enough to even drag my box of pregnancy & baby books out of the shed...i had stored them away as i thought i would never get to use them.
Hi to everyone i've missed, thinking of you all :)

Hi ladies
Coral ~ thanks for your reassurance about the cramps. Great news about your scan :) what do they say about heartbeats and boys n girls?
JBM ~ Hi and I'm well thank you. wow you dont have too long must be exciting but I can see why you'd be sick of people asking all the time.
Tei ~ exciting you got to hear your bubs HB :) wish I could get my hands on one like that! Hope that MS goes soon.
Oneday ~ so happy to hear you are enjoying motherhood despite being exhausted. will miss you around here, please pop in. I guess we all have to go at some point. I think there is a parenting after LTTTC thread. GL and take care xo
Yogi ~ 16 weeks, thats fabulous! glad you are starting to relax into it and enjoy. all the best hun. I'm a bit the same - starting to finally get a little excited and hopefully after Fri (my 12 week scan) i'll be able to relax more.
Hi Kass and anyone else I may have missed - hope all is going well!
AFM ~ just hoping time goes quick for my 12 week scan this Friday - excited but also pretty scared.
-
loops: yeah i think i need a T shirt that has the number of weeks til due date on it so then people don't need to ask me . LOL. yes it is getting exciting. but still feels like ages away. LOL. good luck for 12 weeks scan on friday.. not long to go now. i love the 12 week scan as this is the first time it looks like a baby not a blob. he he. good luck with it.
yogi: yeah i know no heavy lifiting, i already got into trouble for moving a few little boxes. DH was NOT happy with me and i am under strict orders to do nothing. it's hard but i may have to do it. lol........
glad your scan went well and it all looked good. such exciting times having scans. i love seeing baby. so exciting for a baby bump too. yipee
AFM: well i came home from work this morn as just have been feeling VERY tired and had a dizzy spell yesterday and this morn also. ?? so maybe some rest is what i need. DH and I work together so he sent me home. LOL. I love him so much when he fusses and worries. it's so cute. lol
so chat soon to all i am going to rest now :-) ( snoooooooooooooooooooze )
-
hey guys,
Sorry i keep falling off the planet but not really anything happening at the moment. I'm 10 1/2weeks so off to get the blood test done for the combined first trimester test tomorrow and the scan is on 8/11. I'll be so happy and much more confident when that's all over and probably wont be able to stop talking about my pregnancy then....
I'm battling the constipation today....it crept up on me...usually i can manage it easily but this time I just didn't get to it on time so I have had to use the Glycerol suppositories (after researching that they were safe). Im at work so im just hoping when I need to get back to the toilet there wont be anyone else in there. MS is easing....feel a little nausea in the morning before I eat and then just a little after I eat....but pretty much ok the rest of the time...
JBM goodluck with the move. i hope it goes ok.....and just get them to move a chair into a good spot and you can 'direct' traffic....
-
Jacklicky - Not too long now until your scan. It's so good to see an actual baby instead of a blob! Definitely helps it all feel a bit more real :)
JBM - I don't envy you moving right now! At least you have a good excuse to sit back and be bossy :)
Loops - good luck for your scan Friday :)
Yogi - great news that everything is looking good!
mhb - hope you're not too uncomfortable, not too long to go now
oneday - good to hear from you :)
Teirae - How awesome to have access to the doppler :) I think you've made us all a little jealous! 12 hour shifts not so much fun though - hope you're not too tired!
afm - I think bubs is having a growth spurt - every day I seem to be a little bigger. Haven't reached the uncomfortable stage though, so it's all good!
-
kass: know how you feel with getting bigger each day..........LOL. hope i can just sit back and be bossy............. i do need to rest and relax......... I am feeling uncomfortable and told midwife i was "over it " today and she said what already............ lol. best of luck to you and your growing bump. x
jacklicky: you need prunes i think . eek . i hate that. so not nice. good luck with it. i like the direct traffic thing. may try that. lol
Hi to all i forgot
AFM: had midwife app today . my BP is low again ? she said i'm doing too much and need to cut down on work and have a nap each arvo cause i have had a few dizzy spells in the last few days.
my tummy is measuring 33 weeks, so a little bigger than i am , but i do have BIG babies. lol baby was head down but he moves around all the time so who knows what will happen there.
i got a copy of all my medical info for the brissy hospital and they were going to fax them a copy of my records so i can phone them and book in for when we arrive in brissy.
it's all happening but looks like early nights for me. he he and less work.... what a shame............... he he. she even wrote me a note to give to DH and other boss so i can get time off. so i am finishing 2 hours earlier each day so i can go home and rest :-)
chat soon to all

he he he:happydance:

Hi ladies,
tentatively poking my head in here, hope you don't mind me joining you. I received confirmation this week that I am pregnant again, though unlike last time with DS where we went through IVF/ICSI, this time it was a surprise natural pregnancy!! We are still completely in shock - DH has low sperm count, poor motility and morphology issues, and our FS basically said our chances of ever falling pregnant naturally were almost zero. I have to say though, despite having gone through a perfectly healthy and normal pregnancy last time, I think i'm even more nervous and paranoid this time round. We have a scan on 10 November and i'll be praying everything is okay. I've had heaps of cramping, which I don't remember having this early with DS, and have been analysing my trips to the bathroom (sorry if TMI ;)) to determine if they're frequent enough. That's truly a sign of a LTTTCer isn't it - many women would be pleased not to be going often just yet and here I am wanting to be going more often :rofl:
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know everyone, and I have to say Loops hon, so so so excited to see you in here, you certainly deserve it :happyforyou:
-
lise: woohoo !!!!!!!!!!!!!. good to know theres still hope for natural pregnancies. great work. counting down til your scan. fingers crossed and lots of sticky vibes for you. this happened to somone who i knew and they took 12 years to get their first then fell naturally 12 months later. she has 2 amazing kids now. i'm hoping that this is it for you.
welcome to our crazy thread of all us women who are LTTCers and we over analyse everything ( or maybe thats just me ? ! LOL)
Yogi : wow counting down to 20 week scan already !, thats gone fast. hope all goes well for you. x o x o .
mehimbub: waiting for baby to come out into the world. not long to go now. best of luck to you. x o
loops: so glad all went well at scan. x o
AFM: well you prob all saw that i am an aunty again !!
i am so so excited about it and get a couple of photos each day of my adorable little neice. i am hoping to go visit her this week and stay overnight at my sis place. i am so so clucky............or did i say that already ? LOL
had a day at home and DH took the boys out for 4 hrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know amazing. i got to rest and even had a sleep. still got cold , conjunctivitis is clearing up so waiting til i am all better for lotsof cuddles of the new baby...........
yipee

mhb - how are you going? fx today's the day!
jbm - congrats on your new niece :) Very exciting!
lise - congrats on your pregnancy! It's so good to hear a natural success story :)
Yogi and loops - good to hear you're both going so well
-
Kass - nothing yet just the usual cramps and back pain, I have to hold out until DF finishes on saturday!
-
Just wanted to poke my head in and say hi :hello: to all the LTTTC graduates :)
Hope you are all well! Good luck to those who are about to deliver, and good health and happiness vibes to those who still have a way to go!
Take care all x
-
N2L: i'll take some of that good luck as i've been sick with cold and being pregnant is not fun when you're sick. best of luck to you for Nov FET. x o
mehimbub: waiting to hear about baby............. no news yet. best of luck to you. x o
kass: wow i can't believe how close we both are to meeeting our babies. hope you having a good week. x o
hi to everyone else
is it just me or is it a bit quiet in here ?
AFM: i am so over this cold !!!!!!!!!!!!! i am tired and gone thru a box of tissues
-
i just did a good reply but it appears to have gone somewhere ????????????????
oh well hi to all
-
Thanks for the welcome ladies! I felt a little apprehensive about joining in, not that I thought anyone would be unwelcoming, but more that I feel guilty about bypassing the LTCCC and AC thread and achieving a natural BFP. It happened to a number of people I know and my response to each one was to laugh and say that would never happen to us... And while we are over the moon I really think I'm even more anxious and paranoid this time round. Oh well, only 9 more sleeps until our first scan ;)
Anyway,
JBM - hope you're feeling better soon and that DH and your boys are looking after you! Have you made plans to see your sister and new niece yet? Lucky you don't have too long to wait for your own little bundle :)
Me+him+bub - hope your bub comes soon!!! I had WEEKS of cramping before I had DS but the good news was I was 4cm dilated before even going into labour, so I'm sure something productive is happening inside!
Hope everyone is going well xx
-
Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd pop in to see how everyone is going. Yogi I was so excited to see your bub is doing well. I can imagine each passing week results in another sigh of relief.
Me+him+bub I hadn't realised you were so close.
JBM and Loops glad to read everything is going well and JBM congrats on becoming an aunty again.
My little girl is 9 weeks now and starting to smile more and becoming less unsettled (thank god).

dreamrise: wow 9 weeks already, thats gone so fast !! for us anyway maybe not you ? lol. yeah i love being an aunty again and can't wait to meet baby and give her cuddles. it's good to pop in and visit us who still have babies on the inside. he he he. hope you and your family inc baby are all well. x o x o
lise: we are so excited to have you here. hooray . I have plans for seeing baby neice next Mon ! .best of luck to you and lots of sticky vibes. x
AFM: still sick............ am over it. i feel huge too ............ grrrrrrrrrrrr
-
Hi everyone!
Congratulations Auntie JBM!! Sorry you are still sick, hope you are feeling better soon :hug:
Welcome lise, congrats!
dreamrise thanks for popping in. Great that all is well with your little miracle bundle of pink :babygirl:
nothing2lose, thanks too for stopping by and wishing us well. I keep praying for you and hope you can join us very soon :pray:
M+H+B how are you going? Maybe you are pushin and puffin and pantin and screamin right now!? Can't wait to hear your happy announcement soon...all the best.
Coral, how are you?
Yeah has been a bit quite in here. I'm still hangin in...but starting to get those anxious feelings creeping in again, dont know how i'm going to get through another 2 weeks without seeing bub or hearing a heartbeat. My belly is growing by the day and starting to get more 'fluttering' feelings and stretching pains. My placenta is at the back so am hoping i will be able to feel movement soon? When should you be able to feel anything? and what does it feel like?
Have a great day ladies...much love :loveshower:
Yogi
xx
-
yogi : yes quiet in here. hope feeling movement soon for you . count down to scan. not long. best luck to you. xo x o
me him bub: no news yet ????????????? i'm waiting for the message . best of luck to you. x o
AFM: actually starting to feel better just in time for DH and i to have lunch tomorrow. only worked half a day all week............:-)
i finish up at work next thur :-)
:-)
yipee

Yogi, how many weeks are you? I felt DS move at 17 weeks exactly. I was at acupuncture and very relaxed and I felt my tummy growling like I was hungry except it wasn't making any noises. Finally realised it was DS!! If you need some reassurance could you maybe see a midwife? At around 16 weeks I was very anxious and had a melt down, I rang my ob and they said could come in and see a midwife. She was able to hear the heartbeat and assure us everything was fine.
JBM, Have you found you're much bigger with each pregnancy? I can imagine you're feeling well over it, not too much longer to go, and only one week of work, woo hoo!
Big hello to everyone else, hope you're going well.
Nothing really happening here, just counting down the days till our first scan. I'm not feeling pregnant at all and am trying to remember how I felt before!
-
lise: i am about the size now that i was when i had DS 1 . so yes i do think you get bigger with each one. lol. i am OVER it at the moment but it is mostly cause i am feeling sick and tired with this runny nose.......etc etc........ at least my eyes are clear this morning though. counting down. i remember those days. i am still counting down but for different reasons now. he he. best of luck for the scan. x
-
hey ladies I am still waiting :( DF finishes up at work on saturday so maybe it is a mental block? once he is done maybe I will relax and bub will come.
yogi: I didn't feel my first until 23 weeks! this time I have placenta low and at the back but still didn't feel bub til about 19-20 weeks. You will soon enough :)
JBM: how's the packing going!
