WBM - I never understood how much of a distraction a child was, it's a godsend! Hope bubba comes soon, cause then you get your newborn cuddles rather than belly rubs. FX.
Just updating briefly, had my scan today and bub is 1.65cm, 8wks, heartrate is 154bpm, and I even got to hear the heartbeat
nly downside is that the corpus luteal cyst is measuring 6cm and touching my right ovary and also starting to put pressure on my uterus. I'll be back later for persies.
JJ - I had an 8cm cyst on my ovary, they either implode or explode apparently. If they implode, you get pain for quite a while, dull pain, if they explode you have excruciating pain but only for 24 hours or so. Mine imploded, but was still visible at the 20 week scan. My Ob said they have nothing to do with viability. I hope that helps The rest of your scan sounds AWESOME!
dory, the little ones make life so much easier don't they
WBM - did you ask your Obs why the cyst forms in the first place? Just curious. I was doing some research on VBAC today and now I have a good list of questions to ask the Obs when we get to talking about that stuff. I was happy to labour away for HB, but there was no action on the labour front and I was getting anxious but then I developed HELLP and HB had to be delivered.... immediately. No other option. I hope you get your VBAC, and I know you can do it if you get the chance.
Jenna - sorry about the cyst. Least you know what all that cramping is about now.
AFM - OMG I had a day where I wasn't completely exhausted AND where I only had mild-ish nausea most of the time with a couple of intense waves. OMG, it was divine. I did realise just recently that this pregnancy's dates basically coincides with Amelia's. A bit sobering. Trying not to be superstitious.... but.... we had plans to go to Sydney for Chrissy, but $ and my germ phobia ( being on a plane, in airports, and getting sick when we went away just recently) made it so we probably weren't going, but then when I reaslised the conincidences I couldn't go. We went to Sydney for Chrissy during Amelia's pregnancy. Whilst it was awesome and I didn't get sick from the "germs", mentally I just can't put myself back there. Besides at another level, that was our special time with Amelia. We need to do something else for little Raspberry Bear.
Hope everyone had a good day. I should go stalk the BA's huh? Put some good mojo out there for WBM..
Thanks dory! I know I can do it too, it's quite empowering My OB has been brilliant and just simply sees it as a normal labour. The only precautions I have are if I have pain at my scar that doesn't go away, or bleeding, to go straight to hospital. No additional monitoring, no early presentation to hospital, no limits on labour times, no limits on overdue-ness (c/s at 42 weeks - my choice). Only other limit (I forgot) is no induction, but I'm happy with that.
Re the cyst, it's where the egg was released during the cycle, they're pretty normal, but sometimes they fill with fluid. There's nothing wrong, and you can have them when not pregnant too - I did after a clomid cycle once too. They're just painful! But you know which ovary did the good stuff and released the eggie
I get the not wanting to go to Sydney at Christmas. The dates coinciding must be pretty daunting. It's one thing to know intellectually that this is a completely different pregnancy, but that doesn't help the thinking it must be so hard!
