Yes i cant believe im in the last 10 weeks i dont want it to come to an end in case it dosn't happen again for us but i cant wait to meet our girl!!!
I was going to say i want more regular visits but when i brought it up to the midwife she said im young and healthy and iv had a cruisie pg so thats why my appointments arn't every 1-2 weeks so i guess i will just go with what they say but i do love the visits.
We have our 4D ultrasound on friday, my mum and inlaws are coming as they havn't been to any scans and i think it will be very special for them to share it with us. I cant wait to see our little girl again.
trishy: oh that makes ense now ???????????. never heard of it. but it sounds bad so i hope you are o.k. :-). hugs to you.
oneday: yeah 10 weeks and counting down. my sis has 10 weeks too. it's so exciting. bummer about not more apps. you should complain more about pain and stuff and maybe they might get you in more often :-). lol. evil laugh. lol. ha ha ha. yipee for 4 d ulta sound. i want one. good luck with it all. x x x
AFM: nothing new. one week and one day til my morph scan. i'm not counting down. lol. honest ??????
i am so excited as DH is coming and we are having the day off.
i am like on a first date excited or something. i love my DH so much and he is being extra sweet since my BFP. finally. the BFP that is not the extra sweet. or maybe the extra sweet too. lol
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
Im just copy n pasting from my belly buds group and is all about me cause im going to be late for work..sorry!!
Hi beautiful women!!!
i have a very healthy little parasite nestled in my fundus (fungus as dh thought she said.. (top of my uterus)). measuring a day ahead what i thought i was =) so In actually 7.2 today (she then said my due date was a day later but pretty sure the leap year is messing with ppls maths. so my due date is actually 22/5). Strong hb of 147 - was the first thing i saw so clear and so strong!!! =)
Dh said before that he would be disapointed if it was only 1. he denied it after but was in a cranky mood last night - which he also denied. but i am happy =)
Addit ~ oh and the fs so very supportive and in complete agreeance of my choice not to birth at the hosp near me. he agreed 100% with my thoughts about it =p
Teirae - that's great Congratulations - hope your dh is a bit less cranky today!
mhb - hope everything is nice and boring for you tomorrow lol
Oneday - I'm surprised they won't let you go for a v-birth if she turns (even if it seems unlikely). Must be any day now? Exciting! Yeah, it was a bit annoying with the class. Up until now they've been pretty good. One of the mws filled in (about 20 minutes after it was meant to start) so we still got some info. Just wasn't as organised as it could have been!
Yogi - I'm sorry you've had a disappointing result. But, there's still a 95% chance that there is nothing wrong, and like others have said, you're going to love bubs no matter what. After all you've been through, I think this one must be very strong and determined to stick around
JBM - Good work being organised Pity about working!
Hey ladies had a nice day in my pj's doing nothing today!!!!!
Kass if she turns they will send me home on the day of the ceaser so i can have a natural birth but they wont induce me on the day they will let things happen on their own unless of course i go 10 days over my due date.
Today when i was lounging around i was watching my belly move around as my girl was having a great time in my tummy, i found my self crying thinking how truly amazing these babies really are, i feel like the luckiest girl alive even what i went through to get here, in some strange way im so greatful of our journey because i dont think i would have ever appreciated being pg and this baby as much if i didnt go through what i had to to get here! Im really going to miss being pg, everyone ask's how i could possibly miss it as it does get uncomfortable at the end but we have all waited for this for so long and i guess im prepared i may never get to expereince being pg again. I really hope you ladies enjoy the rest of your pregnancys as much as i have, dont forget to take just 5 minutes a day to sit and enjoy being pg because i believe we are all so lucky and they are little miracles xxxxxxx
Oneday - makes sense - now you have a set date you must be getting impatient to meet her! You're so right about being pregnant. I think it's amazing, and feel a little sad that it might be a once only experience for me. Enjoy your last few days!
That's excellent mhb! All the best for the next couple of weeks x
JBM - mmm, I'm getting the night time wake ups as well - they must be getting us in training! Good luck with the house
Coral - glad your scan went well I don't think I've had any BH, although I might not recognise them if I had! Glad your ms has cleared up
kass: yeah i am sure the night time wake ups are to get us used to waking at night. lol. hope all is going well with you. x
teirae: how are you going ?, hope all is well.
MHB: yipee................... good luck to you... not long to go now. x o x o
hi to all i forgot !!
AFM: nothing new to report.............. got midwife app on tue, got to get all medical info for qld hospital, can't believe we are moving. i'll be 33 or 34 weeks so cutting it fine.
i am looking VERY pregnant now. everyone is asking me how long to go
I am sick of it actually...................people asking that is....................LOL
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 =)
Been fairly quiet in here lately...how's everyone going?
All good with me & bub, belly getting bigger by the day...am lovin it! counting down to the 20wk scan now, three weeks away. At each milestone we reach it slowly sinks in a little bit more...but still can't believe we have made it to here!
