Hi all
Glad to hear things are going well Ltl Panda!
DJTTC - coffee works wonders for me, prune juice just gives me gas but prunes and dried apricots work well. be especially careful with the apricots cause they can be 'deadly', if you know what I mean (they're so yummy I eat to many, then.... oh dear). I find fibre supplements and all bran are good for keeping things regular, once you've had a 'clean out' (sorry for TMI). Oh, and make sure you're getting plenty of water. I've got many years of experience behind me... can you tell?
hey all
still here
had scan today with FS and all is good and there is only ONE in there - whoo hoo!!
So we are the pround parents of a 15mm fetus!!!
heart was beating away beautifully and all look fantastic
still sick as a dog but a hell of a lot more reassured
Have had a little bit of cramping this morning...and was woken up by a very painful tightening last night...so hopefully, it's a sign that something is happening!
Had a bath last night...man! It is so amazing to see how much my belly has grown in the last week or so (since my last bath)...it really is pretty massive now!
Thanks for the best wishes regarding the Ob. appointment...here's hoping!
Today is my Mum's and BIL's birthdays...I had always thought I wouldn't be at their birthday dinner as I would be in hospital...but it's looking like I'll be going...but wouldn't it be bizarre if we ended up having 3 family birthdays on one day!
Hoping you don't have any little surprises in the pool today...you poor thing!
monnie - you still here - get your belly outta her and go and announce this bubbas birth!!!!!!!!!
LV for you sounds likes its all gonna happen real soon!!!!
thanks all for your wishes - actually undone one of the belts in my straight jacket now - started to relax and tell people - my kids are so excited!!
and still sick as so all good
Smegs Thats a wonderfultime of year to have a baby!!!! I love the fact that I was born in April I was actually due on the 1st aswell but delayed my arrival until the 14th My poor mum is all I can say lol.
I'm sure you'll get to a point where you will relax a little bit. Its normal for us mums to be to be tense and a bit aprehensive about things. I started to relax after my 12 week scan and then again at my 20 week one. Its very reassuring at this point when you can feel bubs moving around having a great time in your belly too.
Monnie How was your dinner last night with your family. Wow 2 birthdays on the same day!!!
How did you get on at the Ob appointment? Is there anymore news on Ziggy's upcoming arrival?
Well I have a very busy weekend. I have to work this morning, then I'm off to get my hair cut and done for a wedding this afternoon and tomorrow Dh and I are off to Sydney for the day to watch my 14 year old nephew play baseball for the American team(he's been playing in the USA since April and he's going to start school over there early next year). We are all so proud of him and what he's achieved so far.
I hope you are all doing really well and have a great weekend.
Went to Ob. last night...appointment was at 3pm but didn't get in to see him until 7:30pm due to his two deliveries within that time!
Anyway...Ziggy still hasn't moved...no engagement at all...and still posterior. Cervix is firmly shut...my Ob. isn't wanting to induce me as he thinks that it will end up as a failed induction and emergency c/s, as my body is just not giving any signs of wanting to deliver. He's also worried about rupturing the membranes (something to do with a concern about the umbilical cord moving in front of the Ziggy's head and then causing problems)...
So...he's given me the choice of waiting until Friday and doing a elective c/s if labour hasn't started or doing a c/s earlier. Although Ziggy is healthy at the moment, I must admit that I'm becoming increasingly worried about him/her and have decided to elect to have a c/s earlier. We rang our Ob. this morning and he's going to look at booking me in for Monday afternoon!
Amazingly, I feel totally at peace with my decision. Feel like my Ob. really understands...he was so lovely about acknowledging that 'this wasn't my dream' but he also said how much we had battled to get to this point (being a LT-er). Felt very understood and listened to.
So...I can't quite believe this...but looks like (if the theatre is free), we'll be meeting Ziggy Monday afternoon!!!
SO EXCITED!!!
But if I go into labour before then...then I'll have a natural delivery! Either way...I feel like I'm a winner, getting to meet our precious little Ziggy!
Would love to post some personals...but are now frantically trying to get house ready for renovations, given that we are probably not going to be around next week!
Hope everyone is doing well! Thanks again for your beautiful support and thoughts...so appreciated guys!
Monnie - only 1 more sleep till you meet ziggy how exciting.
I am so glad that you are feeling positive about it even though it wasn't the way you wanted the birth to go but the most important thing is both you & ziggys health.
Wishing you all the best for Monday & can't wait to hear of your big announcement.
Jo - 27 (treated endo)

Second chlomid / IUI March 2007 -
Thanks so much for your excited and supportive messages...so lovely!
It's not totally confirmed for tomorrow (will have to wait til tomorrow morning for that) but I think it's highly likely...
Yep Danni...you did say girl! I have no idea! I close my eyes during the Ob's ultrasounds just in case I see something...
Feeling apprehensive about tomorrow...hoping we have made the right decision...like DH says "you can only go with what we know" and given that, I think we have done the right thing...went and had some monitoring at the hospital yesterday. Ziggy's doing well...though is a real little sleeper (no wonder he/she doesn't want to come out!). I was too scared to tell the midwife that I was probably having a c/s tomorrow...but got caught out when she rang my Ob. to give him the results...LOL! I think I was scared that she was going to give me a lecture or make some comment about our decision...but she was incredibly supportive and said that I'm in very good hands with my Ob. and that he will do the right thing. She really confirmed our decision...which is so nice to hear at this stage. I feel a bit disappointed that my body isn't 'playing ball'...but it's an achievement to get to this point for us...so I just have to remember that!
Have been so teary in the last 24 hours....so much emotion welling up. Basically cried all the way through Forrest Gump last night starting with "run Forrest run!!!". DH is teary too...we both had a good cry last night...more out of relief, excitement, nervousness...the LTTTC journey is such an arduous one and now that we are nearly at the end, I feel an incredible release of emotion....I can just imagine what we will be like when Ziggy is born...MESSES!!!
