Am trying to catch up with what has been happening!! Seems I have missed a lot. Will try and keep up with everything from now on!
First, congrats to all the ladies who have welcomed their precious bundles. And congrats to those who have got their long awaited BFP.
Us - I'm now 19 weeks and having GIRLS! All is going well. I'm tired a lot and don't have much stamina these days. Nearly fainted in Bunnings today. Otherwise, I'm just cruising along....and still can't really believe that babies will be the result of my big fat belly. Probably won't believe it until they are in my arms. Am still terrified...does that worry ever go away???
Will do more persies as I catch up with everyone, but just wanted to respond to Emerald Star. I had a heavy bleed at 5 1/2 weeks, but no cramping. It was just a 'separation' of some of the lining. No bleed since then (TMI - a serious increase in discharge though!).
So - London Miss - we are days apart! My official due date is still 17th July...but more likely to be June sometime.
I'm looking at going to office based duties at work in about 3 weeks and finishing up at the end of April. Will have a month or so of sick leave before going onto Mat leave.
Glad to be back.

Argh, why did the computer eat my lovely long post??? Here we go again...
Welcome back Mrs Slyder, and welcome on board Mindhugs!!!!!!! Hope you find all the support and comfort you need here, I know I have.
BOC - hope you're resting up so you can get out of hospy and back home ASAP!!
Loula - baby show sounds great, I'd def be going if I were still in Melbourne.
Londonmiss - thinking of you for tomorrow and sending big hugs your way
Kyra - hope you're feeling better, i've got a sinus infection so feeling a bit crappy myself.
Wantbaby - DH and I started buying baby items a few weeks ago and now i'm addicted!! I'm currently trying to justify buying a fancy new camera (surely a new baby and overseas holiday warrants one???) despite the fact there's nothing wrong with mine
Emerald Star - hope you're feeling okay xx
Hello to all the rest of you mummies to be and mummies popping in - hope you're all happy and well.
AFM - have been feeling the chicklet move around more and start kicking which is a great feeling, though poor DH can't feel anything yet. I had read somewhere (was it even here??) about putting paper on your tummy so DH can see the paper move when the baby kicks, but although I can see the paper move DH can't! Oh well, i'm sure it won't be too much longer...
As mentioned before, am feeling a bit crappy tonight so am quite happy (despite my whingeing yesterday) to be staying put on the couch tonight. Would dearly love to stay home from work tomorrow but don't think my boss would appreciate that - i've been in this job for 5 weeks and had 4 days off now and I don't think she's very impressed with me. She has kids herself - so much for female solidarity!!
Loula~ I havent heard of that pram your after.It sounds like a good one if it keeps being sold out.The one im after is a Bugaboo which has the bassinette and converts a million ways too.They are so expensive but a friend has one and has had it since her girl was newborn.She is now 2 and the mum says her friends prams have fallen apart in that time but her bugaboo is still fantastic and well worth the money she paid.They look really nice too.
Im sure i want a bassinette pram and four wheels.I also prefer beige,chocolate or red....not that im fussy or anything.
Mindhugs~ Welcome and Congratulations.Best of luck on your second beta!!! Let us know how you go.
Lise~ I just bought a camera,but it was to photaograph my dolls that i make for sale,but the fact that i will have a 'real' little doll to photaograph made it easier forking out the $1000 for my digital slr,so go ahead and but that camera.After all,it is a memory capturing device that is well waranted with a new baby.
Emerald~ Hoping that all is going well for you.Im thinking of you.
AFM..... today i fainted for the first time in my life.It was horrible.I was outside selling my dead car to a car dealer when i went cold,broke out in a massive sweat,lost my hearing and everything went grey.Luckily the two men helped me into the car to sit down until it passed.I was sooooo embarassed and it felt soooooo yuk!! Called the clinic and they said its normal but could be anaemia.My bloods will be revealed on Thursday at my next antenatal.Im sitting down for the rest of the day.
Yesterday i also got stung by a wasp,just under my eye.S**T it hurt!!! Im allergic to bees but didnt react to the wasp.
Anyhow i did my doppler today again after my fainting episode and bub even kicked the doppler off!!!! That was a first!! Soooooo cute though!!
Anyhow hello to those that i missed.Belly rubs to all.xx
Friday turned out to be quiet a busy day for snuggles and I. We had a midwife appointment in the morning and the scan booked for the afternoon. I ended up having to head up to the hospital for an anti D shot on the way to my scan. The midwife was a bit worried after I told her I banged my belly on the kitchen bench Wednesday. I was running for the phone and forgot how much I have popped. It hurt a bit and left a mark but no spotting or anything so I wasn’t too worried. Being O neg they decided me an anti D shot to be on the safe side. Apparently the bump could have caused a minor internal bleed and if the snuggles happens to be positive it could be bad news. I was surprised how much it hurt and won’t be looking forward to the next shot!
Welcome back Mrs Slyder and congratulations on 2 beautiful little girls.
Mindhugs – congratulations! That’s fantastic news. Welcome to the thread.
BOC – sorry to hear you haven’t been well. I hope you have been resting up and that BP has come down now so you can head home soon.
Lise – sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well. I hope you are feeling better soon. I wish I could feel snuggles a bit more and can’t wait till I can share it with DH.
EmeraldStar – I have a friend due in 3 weeks and she had bleeding on and off for the first 12 weeks or so. It must be scary but lots of ladies experience it. Hope you follow up BT’s went well today.
Wantababy – glad to hear you are ok after your fainting spell. I have never fainted either, but can imagine it would be horrible. I hope it was just a one off and your bloods don’t show up any anaemia or anything.
BOC - thinking of you in hospital. Rest and take it easy. I hope the nurses are being nice to you - it can be hit and miss at hospital's. Fingers crossed that you're out soon
Emerald Star/Loula - My mum and sister both bled profusely in all of their pregnancies, but each time they made it through. I can only imagine how scary it is and what goes through your head. Every step of the way seems to be something else to worry about.
BDT - You are a gorgeous woman! Can't believe you gave birth to twins under 3 weeks ago and you're in here supporting us girls. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support. I'd love to meet the girls one day. Would also love to know your thoughts on hospitals and OB's on the GC when you have a moment.
Lise - I have to say I don't feel much like going to work right now. Feeling pretty off some days. My brain is mush!!! I just know I'm going to do something wrong - or say something wrong .
Wantababy - I hope the car dealers took pity on you and gave you an amazing deal on a car!!! Hope that was your only faint this pregnancy. One is too many - right?
Mitf - hope everything is ok hun with that bump of yours. Let us know how you get on.
AFM - had my 2nd Beta and it's onwards and upwards. All systems go. Levels have risen considerably!!! Yay!!! Next step - scan with IVF doctor in 2 weeks and then referral to OB.
And anyone I have missed - xxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooo
Again i apologise that i have no personals..but as you all know this rollercoaster nver ends...first your happy to see that BFP and youv'e gotten over that first hurdle..but now theres just a alot of new stuff to agonise over and i am getting so sick and frustrated...
These are the latest results....what do you guys think...keep in mind i have had ectopics and chemical pregnancies before...
Could this be another chem or ectopic?? More bloods on Friday with a 2nd ultrasound next Monday! All the googling i hace done says i should be seeing a gestational sac by now! What do you guys think?
