double post, again! :$
Lyra I was on 2 x pesaries per day and my clinic said just stop at 12 weeks seems there are lots off different approaches hope dr got back to you. Glad scan went well too.
Damprye hope dr app goes well. :hug: thinking of you
Me4 I had cramps last night and took a magnesium tablet. Weather is hotter last few days here might effect things. Hope you got some sleep and yay for 16 weeks.
Me work was blah today but while in a meeting I was distracted by little tap dancing in my belly :) love it. Going to do a big cook up this weekend need to be eating better, crackers are not lunch!
Morning.. A friend got me a chiropractic belly belt so I'm trying that at the moment for my back.... I have the gender scan next sat.. I'm nervous. Think im getting a cold too. Can you have throat Lollies ????
Duchess congrats on ur scan
Calluna how are you feeling ? Will you be ok on ur own at the scan
Greenslw im glad ur scan went well. Sorry about ur boss. I was stressing about my job. Legally tho there's not a lot employeers can do. This is my third baby. Wk plcs need to be more accommodating as its a part of life
Lyra congrats
Damprye how are you?
Me4ever yeah I used to get that too but it was a bit later in my pregnancy
Me4- Some people do get leg cramps early on. I've been known to wake up screaming from them.
Melster- is the the wrap around one that valcros and sits bottom of tummy, the big tubal one that goes from under your bum to under your boobs or the other one? I hated my valcro but loved my tubal. I had to wear both boo
Sorry. I can't remember who else posted
AFM the BH have calmed down (started doing so last night) and the OB wasn't in yesterday so I didn't go. Stupid I know because I am supposed to get the AntiD but I didn't want to bother the hospital. I also have serious baby brain. Can no longer remember my pin number!
Melstar- you can have cough lollies.. I hope bub cooperates for gender scan.
I have some pains today but haven't had any all pregnancy so telling myself growing pains.
Dampre- the hospital wouldn't mind it's not like you are wasting their time! But waiting sucks.
Mel hope cold is short lived I had one early pg and when I spoke with the pharmacist they ad used no menthol. I had them with DS but was over 12 weeks. Not sure but melaleuca honey is awesome and works really well for a sore throat. And yes workplaces should be better but I fear they aren't :( wow one week to go how exciting
Damprye I'm sure you wouldn't bother the hosp. Hope you are ok
Duches I'm an achy pg lady so hope you're right.
Mother's Day tomorrow and all I want is sleep so DS and DF are going out for the morning yay what has everyone else got planned?
Spending my first Mother's Day with both my children for the first time. Last year was supposed to be the first but I was so sick and the kids were in department care :(
Damprye- enjoy your day. I've been there too two Octobers ago but they were just with my parents for three weeks.
Today I got Guitar Hero, flowers, chocolates and awesome school stuff for Mother's Day.
Considering sharing my baby news with Facebook today too
Dutchess- Funny you say that, I was considering doing the same thing lol. I'm still not facebook official ;-)
I took a photo of my girls with the magi doodle with the writing " we are going to be big sisters! Mummy is having a baby :)"
And uploaded it, amazing how more real it suddenly feels!!
It's funny watching the people who knew fake surprise :)
I also figured people who find Mother's Day and therefore pregnancy announcements hard would have prepped themselves for a tough day on Facebook today anyway. I've told my special LLLLL long term trying friends personally weeks ago.
Duchess you inspired me I sent pm to my close friends on Facebook and rang the rest. Not going public until I tell work but I agree feels real and great only one negative from a friends wife who is due just after me. But that's her issue.
DF cleaned the house! Amazing.
Damprye hope high tea was great
I hate those people who need to be the only ones with happy good news, expect everyone to be happy for them but can't return the love!
What was her issue anyway??
I got my long awaited positive the same day as a close friend got another negative and she was fine only because she knew how hard it had been but positively livid at her sister in law who fell pregnant easily....
I have allllllll positive comments on my Facebook I'm guessing they know that with my conditions it's a miracle and or they think I make cute kids lol.
She is just a pit of misery and the only shame is her dh is my friend from kids and lovely. Ahh her issue. Otherwise I'm floating on the clouds.
Let it be known that I made simply orgasmic oxtail stew! Drove everywhere trying to find the meat but 100% worth it.
Re telling, I chickened out. Still all hush hushed lol
I originally was going to wait til DD2 birthday end of the month and that was mainly because I didn't think I could wait longer than that, I would love to have kept the secret longer but with DD1 telling everyone we meet (even people we don't know) I knew someone who couldn't keep a secret would find out and spill. My mums Aunty almost did by writing something on my Facebook but I was online and deleted it... I wanted some people to still get a surprise because I had tried soooooo hard not to tell many people (only two or three close friends) we were even trying.
I think not telling if you can get away with it is wonderful, it's the best secret ever to have!!
I'm going to the GP tomorrow as I need referral to my OB and my endocrinologist said because of my conditions I need flu vax and I'll ask him about these pains, its like kidney or bladder pains I think with bonus side and back pain....
I have told a few randoms haha. Feels good to tell some people other than close friends
I'm really worried about the baby. I can't put my finger on it but something doesn't feel right. Don't know if it's just being paranoid or it's something. This pregnancy is just different from the other two. I have lost ms and symptoms ... Except I threw up mothers day. My stomach is not as big and doesnt seem
To be growing... It seems to have stopped and sometimes soft...and I'm not as hungry... So it can be either all explained. Getting past twelve weeks. Not eating as much and that's why I'm
Not getting the chronic heart burn like those other times. Or something is wrong. I'm driving myself insane. I really am. I feel really stressed that something's wrong. But without bleeding or pain or cramps I don't really want to contact ob...
Damprye I have the Velcro one. It seems to b working do far
Duchess... Thanks... Yeah hopefully they get a good shot. The twelve week the baby had the back to us lol
Greenslw ... Thanks. We stayed home and went to my brothers for dinner
I told some ppl before 12 weeks and the rest at 12.. I couldn't hide it. Would have been good to surprise ppl mothers day tho.
Melster - If you're really worried get in contact with your ob or go and see your GP. They can book you in for a scan if that's what you want to give you some peace of mind. My symptoms have also disappeared mostly, no more tiredness, my boobies aren't as sore. I can't compare it to other pregnancies as I haven't gotten this far before. But everywhere I read that it's normal to get a bit of relief from pregn. symptoms and that's because we're in the 2nd trimester. These symptoms will definitely come back in third and by then we'll already feel burdened by a big bump!! My belly seems to be varying in size, but might depend on how much water gets retained or drained?? Also to me it looks different with different clothes, it can look enormous in my work clothes and in my comfy "home" clothes it's teeny tiny.
Greenslw & Duchess - so exciting telling the big news to friends and family :) Greenslw - boo to lady that put a negative comment on - who does she think she is! Especially seeing what you went through to get this little one started!!
AFM Like I said, the pregnancy symptoms have all died down, besides the continuous wee-ing at night and day :$ I thought bub & uterus would have lifted off the bladder?? I'm drinking quite a lot though, up to 3 litres. Haven't felt bub yet, although am trying to concentrate, when you do there are a thousand movements you normally don't notice and if it's the little one?? Who knows. Hopefully soon I'll start feeling definite movements... I've got the day off today. Only got a few chores left, so looking forward to just relaxing :) Have a good day everyone!
Hugs Melster. If your worried call them. Its what they're being paid for. Im feeling pretty normal now. Aside from the odd hip/pelvic pain and a bit tired (and the bumpy tummy hehe) I dont really feel preggo. Such a relief not to feel like death all the time!
Trying to get DS to stay still long enough to feel bub move is frustrating as hell. Any tips?
Yay for ultrasound place having crap seals in envelopes
It came open in my hands!!! For real so I got to have a read of the report and all "normal" this is probably the only time I approve of that word!!
Everyone worrying not feeling bub, they are seriously all different, my eldest rarely moved around and kicked that I could feel for the whole pregnancy, there were hardly any obvious kicks. Whereas DD2 didn't stop kicking from when she started.
If you are that worried about a sudden change in movements drink an icy drink and or ring ob/midwife hopefully they will put you at ease. My OB had to twice with DD1 once at about 14 weeks (I think it was growing pains) and once at 39+5 because I felt no kicks and he hooked me up and it showed she was kicking constantly I just couldn't feel it.
Duchess how did GP app go? Did they say anything re pain?
Mel :hug: the slowing of symptoms is a little un nerving I hope you can see the ob or GP maybe just to hear hb? I can hardly feel my belly bump yet and it's stil pretty low. Take care
Me4 3L of water :clap: champion. DS first movements were like butterflies. This time more like a wet fish. Lol I'm sure it's coming soon. Did you enjoy your day off?
ATM snot! Can't believe how much my nose is running this time round not hay fever or a cold and its driving me nuts. Rained all day today and need some more indoor activities up my sleeve for DS. Thank goodness bubs will be arriving in warmer weather DS can play outside.
:(
I'm in hospital
Baby all good but they don't know what is wrong with me
I almost fainted when cooking dinner and haven't bounced back
They want me to stay over night
Sigh
About to give me chest X-ray :?
Oh no, hope it's nothing serious. Will be thinking of you & glad baby is ok
Me4eva and Calluna. Thanks. I just don't know if I'm
Being paranoid or not. It's just so different after having a miscarriage.. And I read way to many stories .... And this pregnancy is so different. I keep thinking I feel bubbles but I'm just not sure.... I'm getting headaches .. My boobs are still large and a bit sore ...
Greenslw ... I have the gender scan Saturday do hopefully it will be all good
Duchess.... What happened? Are you ok now ??
success you poor thing. i guess if you are posting here that is a good sign xx take care
Hugs Duchess. Glad bub is ok, hope you are too.
I think you are probably ok Melster, but there is no harm in checking. You arent paranoid. You are pregnant after loss, its a whole different game. Do what you have to to reassure yourself, if others cant understand that (including your OB) then that is thier problem.
Yay freakin yay
I'm going home
They think I am getting an upper respitory infection.
Last night when I was cooking dinner I pretty much fainted and couldn't shake it, due to my condition I knew I needed to go to hospital to be checked. My blood pressure was very low. They gave me chest X-ray because breathing was an effort.
"My condition" - I had a disease called cushings disease caused by a tumor (very large) on my pituitary gland, the tumor produced a hormone called ACTH, a lot of it, it tells your adrenal glands (in your lower abdomen area kinda near kidneys) to make a steroid called cortisol. My body was making too much, it stopped my body from metabolising fat, it stopped my other hormones working, gave me high blood pressure and muscle weakness, the excess weight is all upper body and face (a big red round moon face)
So they cured me by removing the tumor, the tumor was sooooo big they couldn't save my pituitary gland, so now I take medication to make my hormones work. (And needles to have babies) (and can't give birth naturally or give my baby breast milk)
So now my adrenal glands don't work. You need them to work when you are sick or injured like the "fight or flight" hormone. I don't have that. Without my meds I will die in 24 hours. So when I'm sick I double my meds. And when I feel flat and low like last night I treat it seriously (as did hospital which was refreshing)
Anyway thanks for your concerns and thoughts it was scary still kinda is not knowing why I reacted so quickly and low to a infection (we think)
A beautiful understanding doc just did the best he could doing an ultrasound to show me bubs heartbeat after I told him my 14 week fears!! What a sweetheart.
I told him I could wait til my OB appointment but seeing the heartbeat and bub moving really helped, as I would have feared this strange reaction by my body (that got top marks from hormone doc last week) was something to do with the baby.
Wow Duchess that must be awful to live with. Im glad you got understanding medical staff in the hospital. It makes any experience so much more managable. :hug: Hope the infection clears quickly and you are feeling well again soon.
thanks calluna
wow duchess...you have been through alot..im so glad that you are ok and saw babie
i have eaten a whole packet of burger rings and its only 9.20am ......lol lol
Glad your going home & hoping you feel much better soon <3
Mel i feel the same, i really can't even enjoy the pregnancy at the moment.
Duchess wow that is a lot to go through thank you for sharing. Glad you're home.
Mel burger rings yum. I've had chips for breakfast more than once this pg.
ATM lots of stretching pains today and some back pain think I better get my act together and start some yoga with the bleeding I haven't done much excersise this pg last time gym till 32 weeks.
Greenslw -my Aunty who is experienced yoga instructor said not to start til 18-20 weeks, I had never heard that before but she says its much safer. I want to so more walking then yoga to strengthen core and give me some time out :)
Had an early night last night to make up for the crappy one night before and today I'm off to OB appointment.
Hmmm Duchess, can you clarify with her if she means antenatal yoga? Or just general yoga? I've been doing yoga for the last 4 weeks... And I'm not the only one under 18 weeks there. It's pretty easy going, loads of relaxation and breathing exercises...
Just a quick one now - need to walk the dog, go grocery shopping, then need to get ready to go to acupuncture, my first time in 3 weeks! I can't wait! And tonight another yoga session, yay! Hope you girls have a good day!
I have an ob appointment tomorrow...(trying not to be scared because this is just getting overwhelming being so negative) oh and i had the WORST dream last night.....TERRIBLE.......i was at the drs and got on the bed and was bleeding everywhere and i lost the baby......arrrrgggggg.....wish my mind would stop.............hopefully ill hear heart beat tomorrow and i will relax for my gender scan on Saturday....IM SOOOOOO nervous about it..cant stop thinking about it..maybe it will feel more real and i can pick names and clothes etc...i actually feel like i have had a bot of MS today...felt queezy this morning.....
Cheshire....i feel really bad about not enjoying this pregnancy and being so stressed and anxious about it....especially since its my last. i feel disconnected at times....havent thought of a name..havent bought clothes...the other pregnancies i had my head in books..already picked names and clothes etc....
Greenslw...ha ha....i just feel like hot dogs with the lot..ALL the time
Duchess...how was you're ob appointment
Me4ever...busy day
Mel I'm the same, I'm pretty sure I've been feeling little flutters but I'm not 100% so I'm still thinking the worst I just can't help it.
Good luck tomorrow will be thinking of you xx
Oh Melstar I hope your OB appointment is fantastic and helps you stop having such scary dreams!! Tell your OB your fears it really helps them know how to approach you.
Greenslw I have sent my Aunty a text and will let you know, if antenatal is different i will start yoga this week!! I know I did it earlier with DD1 too
I've bought one little outfit for bub and have to start names early as hubby (he hates the term DH) takes forever to agree!! But I'm pretty set in my mind what I love.
My OB appointment was interesting. I wasn't surprised he couldn't get a heartbeat on Doppler at 13+6 but even though I said I saw it yesterday at hospital he did a quick ultrasound and I saw my beautiful bubba again and was delighted to see the kid was moving smoothly, until now everytime I've seen bub its had the most jerky movements a little unsettling.
He also said he thought my low low blood pressure and problems the other night were all pregnancy related... Which worries me a tiny bit that they will be repeated but one day at a time.
The intetesting bit was as soon as I hopped on the bed Miss 2 freaked out, noooo nooooo pointed to the chair then omg total meltdown when OB touched me!!! Quite traumatic! Next appointment is daycare day ;)
Duchess daycare sounds good you don't need added stress also so happy your app went well my GP won't even try Doppler till 16 weeks
Mel :hug: will be sending you good vibes tomorrow. Bad dreams are an awful part of pg.
Me4 busy you I will book in for yoga it's a Friday night so see how I go. I'm normally pretty pooped by the end of the week but I thi k it's an important thing to do.
Cheshire :leap: for feeling boo.
Me my bump is now above my pelvis I guess that's what all the pain was yesterday. Think this means I need to pick a tell work date soon. One of my bosses is leaving and made some wise cracks about a another pg lady the other day so NOT telling her. She leaves Tuesday. Some women, you'd think they'd be better with pg but men seam to be in my experience not sure why. Maybe it's the old "I never got paid when I was pg!" Different times ppl. Mini vent ;)
Greenslw- it's like anti baby bonus people saying "we never got money for our kids" life cost a quarter of the price back then too!!
I had a lovely boy at Coles say he hopes I have my baby before they lower the baby bonus :) (frazzled mum after somehow taking almost 2 hrs to do my shopping with the girls) (I must look like I need it)
