Emerald Star - so very happy to see you here!! I posted in the other thread, but just to reiterate, your beta figures were better than mine were (don't think I knew the others sorry) so I wouldn't worry too much. Easier said than done I know,but I say enjoy the weekend
saph - yay for Xavier gaining weight, good job!!
kyra - hope you get the car back soon though just think of how fit and healthy you will be by the time it's done! I'm embarrassed to say i've been so lazy I had a tantrum when DH asked me to walk to the shops to get milk while he was cooking dinner. The shops are 300m away...
wantbaby - glad you survived the wedding with your integrity intact! And hoping you find some answers soon regarding the pain in your legs.
londonmiss - hope your precious furbaby is okay now xx
AFM - had an OB appointment today which in itself wasn't very exciting (though always nice to hear the heartbeat!) but we did get the results from our scan last week. All is good with the Chicklet, though looking at the individual results it seems judging by the measurements at 20 weeks she's going to be a shortie (no surprises there, both DH and I are a bit on the short side) with a big head!! Am hoping the head circumference growth slows down before the birth though i've been assured I shouldn't pay any attention to the measurements now as all proportions will change!
Anyway, quick question - i've just finished my enormous box of Elevit and my OB said no need to take any more but up to me if I wanted to continue. Have done some reading and it seems there are recent studies showing linkages between taking folate later in pregnancy and increased asthma risks. Did others continue taking anything later on or did you generally stop after 12 or so weeks? I was intially planning on taking something just for that extra reassurance the Chicklet was getting sufficient nutrients, but am having second thoughts, so any advice greatly appreciated!!
Emerald Star - Welcome hun! I am so glad to finally see you joining us over in this thread. I sent you a PM about your levels... they look really good to me.
Lise - I am still taking Elevit too, although I haven't been as strict since 12 weeks. I am probably taking it 5 or so days a week.... so I will be interested to hear everyone’s thoughts. If you do decide to stop, I believe you should get your self some iron tablets still.
London Miss - sorry to read about your dog.... I hope all is ok now.
Wantbaby - glad to hear the wedding went well hun and good luck with getting the car you want. I can completely understand you not wanting to pay all that money for someone elses off casts.
Kyra - hats off to you hun. I have been having on and off hip pain and don't think I could even walk that far some days. I hope your car is fixed soon and you don't get stuck in any more rain!
AFM – I am only 20 weeks and it seems I have scared my DH off. He is really tired and I have apparently been disturbing him…. He has to get up early tomorrow and has opted to sleep in the guest room! Speaking of bed I should head there myself... it will be nice to spread out but I am so used to him being there it feels weird!
Regarding the Elevit,im not sure how long to take it for.Im on the Blackmores Pregnancy gold and plan on taking it through breastfeeding?
Kyra~ I feel for you having to walk soooo much.I dont even get to the letterbox LOL so your doing better than me.Im the laziest slob ever.Im even getting cellulite over my thighs.My mum said i need to walk to exercise but with my achy legs i cant bear the thought of it.I hope your car troubles are fixed asap.
Emerald~ My first beta 16 DPO was 400 then it had more than doubled 2 days later.My clinic were very haooy with my results saying i was "definately" pregnant.
Congratulations on your positive test.Best of luck. x
Well my in laws have now sold us thanks to my husband agreeing with them,their 2 year old Mazda Tribute for $12000.I hate the car!! Its gold and old ladyish,i cant see out the back of it and cant park it.We should be getting it soon I wanted the Holden Astra in shiny black.
Anyhow im 16 weeks today!!! I have my next antenatal next week and am looking forward to maybe another scan.I asked my ob last time if when i came back if i could have one to maybe get a peek of bubs inbetweens.I wonder if he will do it,if not i have my 19 week scan early March.
