Boo & yay for school going back.
Boo because I need to get up early &'be organised but yay for less fighting in the house.
Feeling pretty good lately, still have the nausea & occasional vomit but I can eat again & I actually want to eat.
Downside is I have terrible heartburn

[lyra stardust]

Lyra it is hard to be fully invested at this stage I think it was post 24 weeks when I relaxed last time. I hope good luck is with you and baby

OMG 24 weeks! I realy hope I can relax before then, I'm going crazy! Was that after a late or early miscarriage do you mind me asking? I've got 16 weeks in my head as a real milestone. Hope you haven't had any more bleeding

[Greenslw]

Damprye hope you made it out the door this morning. Did you have ms all the way throgh with all pg? I'd be going to the natrapath and anyone else I can think of if this goes much past 13 weeks.

Cheshire yay for less fighting in the house always a plus maybe ms is leaving, cross fingers for you

Lyra I had an early mc but I think it was more around baby's development and being able to. Feel kicks daily that knocked it out of me but 16 weeks is my hope this time that's when I'm sharing with work.

ATM in a pretty good state I rang the hosp to get HCG number which has dropped then a lovely IVF dr rang and said she is happy with heart beat moving bub and said HCG drops at around 12 weeks so no issue. She was so nice. Little spotting but heaps less. So scan in a week can't wait. Need to do bloods too note to self, my brain is on vacation lol

[me4ever]

Lyra - thanks for remembering my scan!
Greenslw - yay for lovely dr that's happy with all the results she saw! Seeing a bub with heartbeat and moving is of course good! Getting so close to 12 weeks now!
Cheshire- yay for kids back to school! (here they're starting holidays this Thursday, am not looking forward to it, as my work is extra busy then with unsupervised children :$
Just a quick message as I'm exhausted from being out half of the day... Had the scan this morning and all seems well! Bub was very active and jumping up and down, doing stretches here and there. Being a bit stubborn not wanting to get into position for the nuchal fold measurement. But after a while and with the trans vaginal scan it worked well! Chance of DS only 1 in 5550, so looking good! Got some gorgeous photos out of it! Have just made the big announcement at work and then as well on facebook! Am so excited! Will be getting into my belly buddies group as I finally feel like I can come out of my hiding spot. Of course I won't believe it till I have our little bub in my arms... Bring on the end of October xx

[Greenslw]

Me4 so excited for good scan and telling everyone.

[Khaleesi]

Sent you a friend request Me4
Yay for such a great scan, hope mine goes that well on Thursday.

[Khaleesi]

Welcome Kbudgie & how sweet a Christmas Eve baby.

Green no 3rd time but 1st time seeing a real little baby moving around etc.,

[Greenslw]

Kbudgie I was due Xmas day but held on till 4 th January. But I was 10 lb so won't wish that on you how exciting though
Cheshire it is so amazing I could have stolen the ultra sound and brought it home lol

[me4ever]

Kbudgie - so happy to see you in here! Welcome! Xmas eve is a nice due date to have Hopefully it'll be right on time!

Greenslw - bummer about hubby not being able to attend the scan Not long for you now! People at work were nice to me. I sat on a chair just chilling by the end of the day as I was so exhausted and nobody said anything Luckily not many customers at the time...

Melster - the fact that you're still morning sick is a good sign! Only 3 more sleeps, it'll be alright, you'll see!

Cheshire - only 2 more sleeps to go! So exciting!

AFM had another long day at work from 12-7pm. I keep being so hungry and if I don't eat at certain times feel extremely weak. Am glad to be at home and to be able to relax. Tomorrow I've got an acupuncture appointment, still going every week at the moment. Will miss it once I go once every 3 weeks :$ TOmorrow is the first time pregnancy yoga class and they do a bit of a antenatal class attached to it I think. I'm a bit nervous, but also excited meeting other preggo women Now onto the lounge chair I go and put my feet up!

[Melster]

kbudgie...congrats

thanks greenslw......oh thats terrible...can he make it in his lunch break and meet you there or have a long lunch?

Hey cheshire

Me4ever...yeah i am the same..i am constantly feeding and bring snacks and stuff to work and leave food in my bag...

I know that i cant say i have had any mc signs...i have a belly, no bleeding, no real pains, have ms....but my brain wont switch off no matter how much i try..then i start reading the internet and have to stop myself...when i lost the baby and saw the screen it has just ruined future pregnancies because im so anixous before and during the scans..i did get better after the 12 week scan and much better after the 20 week scan.....no matter what ppl say to me or what i tell myself i just cant seem to hold off the fear and anxiousness......hopefully it will all be fine!!!!!!

[V21]

Hi ladies, sorry I've been AWOL, I had to take DD to Perth for a specialist appointment for her eyes over the weekend....

Glad everything is going well for everyone, all these scans, how exciting! I'm so pleased that eveything looks good for you all.

AFM: I'm just plodding along..... Have passed both dates for last 2 mc, so hopefully that's a good sign. Still feeling sick, I find that it is much worse when I am dog-tired. Yesterday I slept from 1130-4pm. Kids were in daycare, so had the opportunity.... As a result I have felt much better today Still nauseated, but able to eat/drink and keep it down...... My mum noticed today that I had popped, is a little difficult to hide at the moment..... I might think about getting a ticker up over the weekend.... I think I get the weekend to myself this weekend, as DH is taking kids to see grandparents in Esperance, so that'll be nice. I have to work Sunday evening 2-9.30, but that wont be so bad, and I'll be able to get a bit more rest

[Khaleesi]

Thinking of you Damp, if your that dehydrated bub might just sleeping more.
You really should go in for the drip at least xxx

Had my scan. Yesterday & everything was great Boo was moving all around & everything looks good. Get my results back next Wed or earlier if I'm high risk

[damprye]

Cheshire- Yays for bouncing bub

Kb- Thanks, we went to see an ob near me

Me4- So happy you are in our group now

Greenslw- Sorry your mum is being so selfish


Melster- how are you?
Sorry everyone, I have read but can't see the last page and memory is bad
AFM- Reason I had so much trouble finding bub was because it has moved up into my tummy lol, that's also the cause of the pain, uterus having a nice big stretching session. Feeling calmer now and bubs hb on the docs doppler was 162bpm only baby of mine to be up that high. Really starting to think girl. Still trying to work on hydration but do not want to go on drip yet so just home remedies for now. If it gets worse by my next appt or if I need it sooner, ai will go in to ED

[Calluna]

Hugs Dampyre. Glad all is ok. Hope you can get re hydrated soon.

[Greenslw]

Mel??? Hope it went great today
Cherished so happy for you.
Damprye glad bubs is just rising its so easy to panic isn't it my bubs is up already too fingers crossed for a pink one
Me4 no point looking at money re health if I tallied up physio chiro and massage I'd freak hope you have a relaxing weekend.

ATM not a good day at work actually burst into tears, need to put a lid on that or someone will catch on. DS is well but so sooky and two mass tantrums today. Tomorrow a big park visit to hopefully shift both our moods. Wonder how DS will go with bubs he still wants his cot back even though he doesn't fit in it. Hmm off to the library me thinks

[Melster]

Scan went well. Think hb was 159.. She said everything was looking good and measurement on neck was good. I asked about sex but she wasn't very experienced i don't think. She was lovely and she tried a few times. There was a bright light around area. Think it was umbilical cord... One minute she thought she could be make parts then the white lines... Me and hubby agree we saw 1 kinda long white line and maybe half a line so I dunno?????? Apparently there is 3 identical same size lines for a girl do I dunno????

Greenslw hope you feel better ....

Me4ever.. I was at the obs yesterday and he checked the hb for me

Damprye are you ok now ????

[me4ever]

Hey! Lots going on in here today! Had a long day at work, now relaxing on the lounge chair...

Damprye - so happy you were able to locate baby's heart rate! Hope you feel better soon! I had been considering getting a doppler, but I think for this reason I don't want to... Just in case I wouldn't be able to hear bub's heart rate.

Melster and Cheshire - so happy scans went well for both of you, with happy bubs!! Melster - don't really know how to tell if boy or girl at this point..

Kbudgie - how are you doing? When's your next blood test? How are the pregnancy symptoms going?

Lyra - how are you? Hope you're feeling well!

Greenslw - hugs honey, for feeling so teary. You still sure you're going to wait with telling people at work? It probably would be a huge relief! Good luck with your DS - is there anyway you could make his new bed more interesting with like a doona cover specially chosen by him or something?? Hope you're feeling better over the weekend!
