Monnie Its great to have you pop in and check up on us.
I'm so pleased that you and little Felix are doing well now and I have to say he's soooo very cute. I bet you just sit and look at him all day long.
Sazz Yeh you made me jealous with your lovely weekend away. I wanted dh and I to have a weekend away before bub arrives but thats not going to happen as I have to work every weekend :( Dh is away again this weekend (he's so lucky lol).
Good on you for being so organised now. It makes it all seem so real once we start buying baby things and deciding on names etc.
Kotare All the best for your scan hun.
Kimbe Good luck with the mat clothes shopping hun. Its so hard finding comfy clothes to wear. I have done really well and only bought 1 pair of mat jeans, 1 pair of 3/4 cargos and a few tops. I know of a few people who haven't bought any mat clothes,just a belly belt and some longer loose fitting tops.
Ltl Panda I'm sure it won't be too long before you'll be feeling bubs move ALL the time. When is your next scan?
Dh and I had our 2nd antenatal class last night. It was a bit better than last week as we got to tour the birthing suite which was good as now I know whats there and whats not.
Bub has been very active still poking his head out to one side quite often lol and doing tumble turns and huge kicks. Sometimes it takes me by suprise when he moves quite quickly.
I have to have my GD test tomorrow. Am a bit nervous about that one though.
Hi to all I have missed. I hope you are doing well and big belly rubs to you all.

Ok, sorry, but I have to have a whinge...
I've been sitting around (well working, but anyway) waiting for my specialist to return my call for 2 days now... I'm on thyroid hormone replacement and the last test was not good (cause of IVF etc) and had to increase my dose. so, due for another test 6 weeks later. which i did. then i called in to get the results and he was on holiday for 2 weeks. Well, i thought, that's fine, everyone has to take holidays, i can wait. considered going to gp and getting another test, but thought, no, i'll be patient... he was back at work yesterday and i've been calling his receptionist... to no avail. I need to know what my levels are now!!!! it's stressing me out.
I'm sure he's busy and stuff, but god, it's like 2 minutes of his time. and he told me not to make an apt, but to call in... if my levels are off again i'm going to be so ****ed... not to mention worried about the damage to Jelly.
Sorry, just really needed to vent.
-
Marcellus, you have all right to be upset, this is your health and you need answers now. Hope you get your results today, keep us posted.
Mako, so jealous you are already ate the stage where you are feeling a lot more that little flutters. I am glad you’re antenatal class went well and that you got to see the birthing suite.
Kimbe, totally agree with the in-between stage, too big for our own clothes and too small for maternity. I have a ball on this Sunday and totally stuck with what to wear.
and Sazz, yes I am very jealous, weekend away sound very good.
Have an appointment with the Hospital doctor tomorrow and hopefully they will book in my 19-20 week scan.
-
Ltl Panda Don't be jealous hun as it won't be very long until you are feeling all the movements and kicks etc too. My full on movements started around the 20 to 22 week mark. All the best for your appointment tomorrow.
Marcellus Did you speak to your Dr today? If not maybe you could just go to his rooms tomorrow if you get a chance and ask his receptionist to give you the results(not that you should have to do this).
I had my GD test done today and I'm feeling really tired now. Apparently this is a normal reaction. I won't find out the results until next Wednesday when I see my Ob again. I just hope everything is ok.
I've also come down with a cold AGAIN. This is the 4th time since I've been pregnant.I can't believe how low my immune system is.
Hello to you all and big belly rubs all round :D
-
Thanks guys
Doc finally called last night. Everything is fine so got myself worked up and worried about nothing. Can relax now until the next 'thing'. pg hormones don't help with neuroses etc...
Poor Mako - hope this cold isn't too bad or last too long. Also hope your test results are ok - that test sounds yucky.
All the best for your apt tomorrow Ltl panda.

Hi
Am very excited a close girlfriend has just announced she is 8.5wks pg. She had hinted a few weeks back when i was talking of m/s but didn't confirm anything until bloods. She's in country VIC so getting an appointment took a while. Ironically, she has her 12wk ultrasound on the same day as my 20wk, so its going to be so enriching sharing this unexpectedly with someone so close.
Oh and the m/s i thought was gone, well, not completely girls. The other night i was sitting there with DH having a simple meal and half way through, meal was over and into the bathroom. Does that happen to you guys? It was very frustrating. DH just laughed and called me bulemic...now its Mic for short, he laughs everytime. Hmmmmm. as for me, i'm now swearing off corn.
Otherwise, things are going well, aeroplane jelly early each morning and then vegi toast, wont condone it once bubba is hear, but s/he is learning all the wrong order on food intake.
Marcellus - Glad you got positive healthy results. Your stress and nerves where justified, it's just a shame your GP didn't realise the extra pressure they were putting you under at this stage of your pg.
Mako - bugger about another cold, it's just one thing after another isn't it (i thought we were mean't to be glowing right about now!!)
Ltl Panda - i am on the count down to the 20wk ultrasound too, i so can't wait to see bubba on the screen again. Hope your check up went well today and that you got the appointment booked.
To everyone else, big hugs!

Kimbe How exciting to be able to share your pregnancy journey with your friend. I too have a very close friend who's little boy is due on Christmas day. Its great being able to share our experiences together.
I have to laugh about the areoplane jelly inthe morning. You do whatever it takes to settle your tum.
Ltl Panda How did your appointment go hun?
Marcellus I'm so pleased your results are all good hun. That must be a huge weight lifted from you. Take care and try to relax a bit now ;)
As for me this cold has knocked me about for the last couple of days. I had a day off work yesterday but wen't back today.
Bub is moving heaps which is great. I love feeling him kick and roll etc.
Dh is away for the weekend so I'm thinking I may head to my fav Thai resaurant to grab some takeaway for dinner tonight. Although I do know that won't help with the indigestion but nothing else seems to help either. Oh well something yummy for dinner sounds good and also the fact that I don't have to cook lol.
Hello to everyone. I hope you all have a good weekend :D
-
Mmm Thai sounds good! I think we are having chinese tomorrow when the rellies come over...
Isnt it great when you get to do the pregnancy thing with a close friend? My friend has just had her 3rd last weekend and it was wonderful to visit them in hospital knowing it will be our turn soon, not feeling sad and depressed about our journey anymore!! Two more friends due before me but not really close ones.
Bugalugs is moving much more strongly now and I can feel the big kicks on the outside of me but DH is never around at the right moment so he is yet to feel it, poor DH, he is hanging out for it. When we see each other at the end of the day he asks how "We" are, not just me.
Person at work who is known for saying the wrong thing today said "how far along are you? Cause you are definately walking like you're pregnant now!" Gee thanks I said! lol. I told her it is because I am tired at the end of the working week and I'm not always that bad. It is funny how everyone likes to comment on your size or waddle or skin or whatever...
Hope you all have a good weekend and hope you are feeling better Mako and Marcellus. Glad you got your results back, finally.
big hugs from Saz

Hi girls,
Hope you are all feeling totally nauseous or getting heaps of belly kicks!:)
We seem to always need constant reassurance eh?
I have been feeling sick on an off and just had my 5 WK BT.....the nurse said it wasn't good news but not totally bad news either....:confused:
My 4 wk hcg was 156.....now 1 week later it's only 400....so definitely not doubling.....nurse said I will just have to wait until next Bt in a week to know for sure!I have cried my eyes out,am torturing myself as to wether I still feel sick, am looking at my beautiful daughter and thinking just be happy with what you've got.....just really don't know how to feel.
Why does this have to be so hard every single step of the way......
Hugs to you all..... and wishing each and every one of you a healthy 9 months.
Claire.xx

Sazz The thai food was yummy. I had it last night and then the left overs tonight. I haven't had it for months and months so I really enjoyed it.
Hope the chinese was great too.
It sure is great to have someone to share our pregnancy with isn't it.
Your little "bugalugs" sounds like mine lol. My dh has only felt him move once or twice at the most. Every time I get dh to put his hand on my belly our cheeky little guy stops moving. This can get a bit annoying for dh at times and also for me as I just want dh to be able to experience the movements too. Oh well bub has the last say at the end of the day I suppose.
Claire Hang in there hun. Make sure you take things very easy over the next few days/ weeks. I'm praying that all will be ok for you and your precious little bub. Atleast your HCG has gone in the right direction even if its not quite doubling yet. Take care and know that I'm thinking of you ;)
I think the nesting thing maybe starting to kick in. When I was washing the dishes I had the urge to clean out my kitchen cupboards. I haven't done these to this extent since we moved here 7 years ago lol. During that time I have done the quick clean out occasionally but not to the point of pulling everything out and repacking and cleaning all the pots and pans and cleaning out the drawers too.Oh well everything looks fresh and clean now. I wonder what will be next. Maybe the oven or the linen cupboard or our bedroom :rolleyes:
I'm still not feeling the best and I have lost my voice too. Such fun trying to teach kids how to swim this morning with no voice lol.
I hope you are all having a good weekend.
-
Hi all...how you guys doin?
Mako...thanks so much for your reply,hope you're feeling a little better after the weekend. Pregnancy sure is great for getting those jobs done around the house you've put off for YEARS eh!!;)
I am feeling a bit better,tying to stay positive and hang in there.Just gotta accept it no matter what the result.....only 4 more days to go to BT.Was totally sick this morning,but am afraid I'm making myself feel sick cause I want this so bad!Crazziness...the whole thing.
Was good to go to work today,my boss has been so terrfic through all this....we had a laugh which helps. Hey how sad was Idol last night.....def not up to standard!( Sorry totally off track....hehe)
Hope you are all getting Homer type bellies every day!:D
hugs,
Claire

Hi ladies, I was hoping I could join you. I have been lurking for a couple of weeks and was reluctant to join until I hit the safety net of 12 weeks but have just had my 5w HCG bt which came back at 6092 (my 4w was 422 so doc is very happy) and after commenting to my friend I was having no symptoms, found myself dry wrenching over the loo.....so I guess its real now :dance:
Claire - It looks like we will be due around the same time, it will be nice to go through this with someone....and I agree with Mako at least your HCG results are going in the right direction....we are all different so try not to worry.
Anyway I just wanted to pop in and say hi, I hope to get you know you all a lot better soon :D
Lis x

Hello girls, It looks like everyone is staying positive.
Lismith25, congratulations, may your dreams and wishes come true for the little one.
Clairbear, never lose hope, stay positive its all that matters.
Mako, it does look like you are nesting, sounds like you just wet crazy with the cleaning.....at least it all clean.
I am feeling ok, little worried as I have not felt movement for a few days.... got my referral for my 20 week scan so 4 Oct here we come.
-
Lis Congratulations and welcome to this great thread hun. I want to wish you all the very best for your pregnancy.
Clairbear Not long to go until your next b/t. I'm sure all will be ok with your precious one. Take care and "enjoy" that morning sickness. Its a very reassuring sign that all is going well ;)
Ltl Panda October 4 isn't too far away hun but if you are worried at all remeber that you can go to the emergency or to your GP to get checked out. Don't be affraid to go to either of these places as they see preggie ladies all the time and I say its better to know that everything is ok rather than sitting and being worried. It doesn't help you or bub ;)
Dh and I went to our 3rd class last night. It was the first of the parenting part and that was a bit more fun. Dh had to put a nappy on a doll which I have to say he did a great job. Maybe a little different when it comes to a real baby who's wriggling around lol.
I'm still not feeling well but I'm hoping the antibiotics kick in soon. The dr told me 48 hours and thats well and truly past. I have to go to my Ob tomorrow morning so I'll see what she has to say. I also have my 32 week scan next Monday. Its all so very close now. I can't wait to meet my little man :D
Hello to Diva, DJTTC, Sazz, Kotare, Marcellus,Kimbe and anyone else I've missed. I hope you are all doing great.
-
Welcome and congratulations Lismith25! Always nice to see new people over here.
Hope you're doing ok Claire - we'll be hanging out for your next BT with you.
Mako, your little man is going to be here in no time! Hope he cooperates better next time your DH tries to make contact ;)
MMM and Thai food.... what a great idea. DH was just on the phone wondering what we should do for dinner - now I know
Would be really great to have a pg friend...
I did my tax return today and am so chuffed that my bill turned out much less than i'd thought (or feared i spose). now we're gonna buy a car!
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. I'd better get back to work
-
Hi everyone, thought I'd try to make the thread go back over this way again lol!
Welcome Lis, thats great news about your bloods.
Hope youre going ok Claire.
Mako, I bet you are getting excited that things are so close.
Marcellus, hope you feel better soon.
Happy 6months to me today!!! Feel as though there is so far to go still yet getting close if you KWIM?
Hello to everyone else, really truely hope everyone is going well and growing nicely!
Had a midwifes appt cancelled for tomorrow which is a real bummer but still seeing the GP... looking forward to finding out how much the fundal measurement has grown, I'm pretty sure it has been a big growth since a month ago. And I get to hear little heartbeat again too.
Went to a christening on the weekend for my two nephews and that was nice. The baby was grooving to the singing in church, maybe we need to go every week since s/he liked it so much!
-
Hey guys
Hope you are all doing well...
Mako...I can't believe you are 32 weeks next week...how wonderful!!!
Sazz...congratulations on 6 months...very exciting! Felix also loved grooving to music whilst in my belly...and still enjoys it now!
Marcellus...good news on the tax!!! Have you had your Ob. appointment yet?
Ltl Panda...20 weeks...wow! I know that Felix's movements were pretty erratic initially...so I'm sure that's the same with your little one...
Claire and Lis...congratulations!
Big hello to DJTTC, Kimbe and Kotare...
Hope I haven't missed anyone...if so...very sorry!!!
Felix and I are doing well...EXCEPT last night I fell down the stairs whilst holding him!!! He's totally fine (motherly instincts must have kicked in and I didn't let go of him) but I've now twisted my ankle!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!
Oh well! Apart from that...things are going really well...love our little boy very much...he truly is a joy...even at 2:30am!!!

Hi everyone,
I totally cannot do personals as its been awhile since I've been on.
Work has just been so busy with it being my last two weeks & of course someone's on hols because I am leaving so it's just crazy.
I would have thought my last month of work would be a gradual slowing down of pace but this month turns out to be my busiest month!
One good thing is Dh & I went down south last Fri & Sat night & stayed at a beautiful resort which was bliss.
I was actually feeling quite sick but it was still good just to get away from everything.
Had b/hicks for the 2.5 hour car trip & thought oh no what if I go into labour down here.
Of course I didn't but it didn't stop the contractions, still having them constantly.
Advice for any of you girls planning on having a weekend or more away before bubs is born, do it before you're too big & exhausted I could not of handled it much later on in my pg (I guess of course unless you're glowing & feeling wonderful, does anyone actually feel like that?).
I truely hope everyone is feeling well & most of all happy.
Jo - 27 (treated endo)
