I still stop and think sometimes, I can't believe in less than 15 weeks, after 2 miscarriages I will finally be welcoming our second child to the world. I am so fortunate.
Hi Rach, congrats on 24 weeks
I completely agree. It's been a bumpy road getting to this stage for me too. In this pregnancy I've had lots of complications and now gestational diabetes. My mother and DP think I'm having the worst pregnancy ever but I don't care at all. All my issues are relatively minor and baby has been healthy through it all. I just feel so lucky every day!
Love to everyone else. It's been quiet here, but I assume that means everyone is doing great!
Yay rach!
Mich yes totally worth it even though sometimes it's been rubbish
I have had some good days with no ms, chewing gum is my new best friend! Starting to feel movements which is freaky and my boobs look like weird blue striped zebras hanging off me! Eeekkk.
Hope everyone is well and happy baby baking all
still baking here too- 24 weeks now- woohoo!
Doing a bathroom reno which is doing my head in, then onto the nursery makeover.
Exciting about movements Joeve!
Mich- I am dreading getting GD, have been forcing myself to the gym to try and avoid it, glad your baby is healthy!
Rach-I feel the same, I look at my belly and can't believe it! Yikes when you said 15 weeks I thought you must be way ahead of me then I realised there is only 15 weeks to go- SCARY!!
Glad to hear you're both doing well Joeve and Saffy
Can't believe you're still having morning sickness though Joeve - unbelievable! So exciting feeling movements isn't it?
Saffy - get that bathroom reno finished and move onto the nursery - it's much more fun! Ha ha. I hope you don't get GD but I'm sure you'll manage it great if you do! I can't say I'm surprised I have it but it's not the end of the world. Just a pain in the bum eating so frequently and the right type of food in the right combination. I don't think I'll need insulin, it appears I can control it with diet at the moment. Baby was measuring 2 weeks ahead in size at the last visit so I'm hoping she just stays that way and doesn't get any further ahead now I'm on the eating plan - eeeek!
Great to hear Rach! Congrats on 29 wks
Joeve- I hope that means the sickness is slowly disappearing. You've really been hit hard? Are you still working?
I'm doing ok, on leave now but it's not as relaxing as I thought it would be! I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and have been scheduled for a c section on 6th nov due to baby being huge and breech. She was estimated at 3.5 kg two days ago! (Genetics + gestational diabetes = hugeness!). So I'm having ctg's twice a week, seeing the ob once a week and having 3d fetal wellbeing and growth scans every couple of weeks. Oh and blood tests for pre eclampsia which are looking ok at the moment At least I feel like everything possible is being done to make sure bubs is safe and happy. Otherwise, nursery is pretty much done, car seat is fitted and I'm counting down the days. Very exciting!
Hope everyone else is doing well, no news is good news I assume!
Dipping my toes in here because I can't stand the thought of joining my belly group.
5wks today, so far no bleeding, HCG blood test this morning wont get results until Monday and then another test Monday and Thursday next week. I've had to stop buying HPT's, DH almost died when he saw the 18 I had done in less than 2wks.
I don't know why but I feel semi relaxed/confident about this one, maybe because either way its it for me. I had given up on this cycle and that was it after getting a BFN, no more trying. I had gotten myself a job and moving on with life and being happy I was blessed we 2 beautiful children. Cleaning up in the bathroom and getting rid of anything TTC related I came across my last HPT, thought "why not" and tested. Put it on the bench and forgot about it. Later on went back in the bathroom and there was a line...
Over the next couple of weeks I obsessed over HPT's making sure the lines got darker and darker, once I got a FR "pregnancy" line to come up faster and darker than the control I relaxed a little more and the digital tests going from 1-2, 2-3, 3+ very quickly helped as well.
There's a long road ahead and this pregnancy will be completely different because we now live remotely with a small public hospital and it will be shared care with the GP/hospital or I can just go through the hospital. No private options out here! I'll also be working for the first time during a pregnancy, will be interesting to see how I cope. I'm due June 21 my 30th is June 18... looks like next year will be a big one!
Joeve and Saffy, it's so wonderful to see how far you are along now!
Toomany I saw your thread about rural hospy and was excited for you but didn't want to make a fuss until you officially outted yourself! Lots of sticky vibes!
Mich wow it seems like your pregnancy has gone so fast ... For me anyway! Yes I am still working full time and wishing the days away!
