Hugs Ticktoc and Duchess! It sucks doesn't it, having had a miscarriage(s) before. Fingers crossed we'll be alright this time and hopefully the time will fly by and we'll be having newborn cuddles before we know it! Duchess are you feeling bub move around? I know it's still a while off for you, Ticktoc, but the time will come. I'm feeling kicks every day now and am feeling way calmer about it all. Now bub seems to be doing well, I'm starting to freak out about the next hurdle - birth - so scary as I'm a first time mum and don't really know what to expect pain wise. Also so much uncertainty about when labour will start and if it will end up being a c-section.
Greenslw - Good luck for the interview tomorrow! I'm keeping my fingers knees and toes crossed for you! Did DF end up cleaning up yesterday? Did you end up having a nice rest?
Melster - Damprye's bub is fine for now I think, she's still in utero. You really should join our Facebook group :P! Hope you're having a good day!
Kbudgie - enjoy the last days and have a safe flight back!
Lyra - how are you doing? Haven't heard from you for a while.
AFM 23 weeks 1 day now! I can't believe I made it this far! As I said though, I'm getting a bit anxious about giving birth and having weird nightmares/dreams during the night :( No fun, especially since I'm home alone and don't have hubby there to calm me down. Can't wait till this bub is out safe and sound though!
-
Birth is the only thing I have sorted, thanks to my medical conditions and past c/s I'm in for a c/s at 38 weeks. It sucks knowing I don't get to wait til bun wants to come and feel the contractions like I did for my eldest and let my body welcome and birth the baby :(
Movement I maybe felt something this morning but so small it could have been the cat or hunger :/ it's freaking me out I think I'll get a frozen coke and try and wake things up but at least only two sleeps and i will have answers.
I had movement from 16-17 weeks sometimes heaps sometimes strong but I've been so stressed and busy on holidays I'm hoping I've just "somehow" missed them :/
-
Sorry guys. Forgot to update. They got me to go in on Friday for a check up. BP was better so that's good and I have the BTs for pre-e tomoz. I hope it isn't. Swelling more, I have sausage fingers, cankles and fat(ter) face I usually have normal people appendages despite my weight due to the PCOS so upset that things aren't usual and that it is indicative of pre-e. Fat fingers crossed though that it is just normal pregnancy odema and the bp and protein are also unrelated.
Bub's movements have lessened a bit and so have the ctx thank goodness. DTD seems to be out now though as it is just far too painful and causes ctx. Wearing my belly support band religiously now even though its annoying but it does actually help. Thinking of wearing my old teddies for the swelling in my cankles and surrounding areas.

Me4 I've had nightmares since 12 weeks its hormones but it can be freaky, can puppy sleep on the bed? When is dh home? :hug: I am a fan of no birth plan and go with the flow, I'm a big organiser normally but birth is not organisable in my mind, it worked last time for me.
Mel sounds like a good weekend
Tic toc :hug: it does get better
Duchess glad grumpy has passed I go in and out of happy grumpy lol
Damprye good luck for bt tomorrow.
I was leaning my tummy on the counter and bubs was kicking off the counter and I was moving BIG BABY! Ds was a big kicker too.
Df did not clean ds room but I did it with ds. Feeling a bit seedy today just flat. Getting nervous about tomorrow and decided to start thinking about my baby shower for distraction. Rainbow theme dss's gf is a wedding designer and my beastie is no fuss kind of girl so good mix of helpers. I can't wait to wear my interview outfit pretty flash and I don't normally dress up so pretty cool.
-
Good luck tomorrow greenslw and damprye
I felt some movements late this afternoon after drinking orange juice :)
My miss 2 has hand foot and mouth :( she had it end of April too :( second week of holidays stuck away from kids... Could be less stress but miss 2 is miserable and miss 6 will go crazy
-
Good luck Greenslw & Dampyre :)
-
Greenslw - Good luck - am so hoping you'll get the job!! Take a photo of you in your nice outfit and put it on facebook :D Would like to see it! Puppy on the bed, haha, he's a BIG puppy, about 27 kilos and to make sure he knows who's boss, not allowed on our lounges and bed :D He'd probably love it though. He likes his outside house the most, he's been spending most of his time there during the day, when he's not out in the sun. When he sleeps inside after a couple of hours he'll sit next to my bed till I wake up and I have to put him outside. My hubby got home late last night! I slept way better :) Still weird dreams, but at least not the nightmare again. Hubby is off to work again now and will probably be working late, but at least he'll be home again tonight! I am planning on making a birth plan, but not too rigid about it. I want to try without pain medication, but don't know if it'll be long before I succumb, it all depends on how long it's going to go for I suppose. And bub kicking you and you moving of the counter! You must indeed have a big bouncy bub!
Duchess - am kinda envious of you girls that have a cs booked in, weird isn't it. Even though of course it's not ideal and will take time healing too. I just like the idea of knowing how and when :D I'm glad you can feel your little one moving around! I can everyday now, although after my busy days at work bub seems to be just sleeping and sleeping and not moving much.
Damrpye - good luck with GTT and blood tests! Am keeping fingers crossed it's not pre-e!
Hi to everyone else!
-
Knowing when is the only good thing, the rest truly sucks! Even knowing what to expect makes it horrid, my last one was terrible then I got knocked out and was relieved :( the gallbladder surgery made recovery harder so this time I'm hoping for less pain for less weeks afterwards.
-
Oh and tomorrow is my scan :)
-
wow is been busy in here. Just about to leave to get the plane home. Such a long way lol.
I have a question. .. People ask us if we have got any names or what we bought or any baby planned stuff. am I the only one who has been to scared after mc? have not written in a diary even though I wanted to for weeks. ..
-
I've only bought stuff I can give to friends babies an names are the only thing I have done. I figure whatever happens bub will need a name and hubby takes forever to agree so I need to start before conception :/
I have a boy and girl name the same name I had for miss 2 for a boy and a girl name that is growing on hubby.
Luckily we have everything, seriously everything with it being number three so don't have to think about it for a long time. I have to get excited and act at ease because of miss 6
-
Dutchess- Good luck for your scan :)
kbudgie- Yup, even now, after 2 live births and growing boys, I'm petrified every time I buy something for baby that I'm wasting my money and setting myself up for greater disappointment when I don't bring home my baby.
AFM- Had my tests this morning and just made it through the last one before puking lol. I'm wondering if I should quickly go get my bp checked at the chemist before I pick up DS2 as I not long got a blood nose :/ Worst part is, I'm wearing all white LOL. Thankfully none of it got on me, just the lawn and tissues :)
BP was 127/76 so good bottom number and slightly elevated top :D
-
Damprye so what did ob say? Lower number good?
Me4 glad dh is home wow what a puppy he's huge, but I'm sure he makes you feel safe. I got home after interview to ds melt down so no photo, funny how I am so professional at work but at home just mum and that's the way I like it. Got interview cloths off before they got spotted on but after feeling so good dressed up I'm going to do it more often, we'll until they don't fit!
Duchess and kb I have just started buying little things hard not to get attached now I can really feel squirt only a couple more weeks until I will totally relax.
Duchess good luck with scan
Thanks for all your luck it was an interesting interview, I was trying to be professional but the panel was very casual I knew all three and two are my referees my other referee works in the building and gave me a big calm down hug just befor I went in, three interesting questions and not a lot of questions from the panel, does this mean I was good enough not to need to clarify or I already was out of the running, they didn't ask when I would be able to start either, that one is unsettling me a little, but it is the same department and both my bosses were there. Oh this stuff does my head in! Hope to know Friday. Baby has been kicking all day just to keep my grounded.
-
I didn't see my OB, I went to the chemist.
With interviews, I always find them difficult to decipher...until I make a big blunder. I have tended to find that payrates have been brought up by them when I have been hired.
-
Scan was awesome!!!!! Everything as it should be, measured about 4-5 days bigger which is well within normal. Placenta at the back so I'll be putting the pressure on to feel more and more soon...
So relieving.
Damprye-- have you got your blood results back yet??
Greenslw-- interviews are weird when you know the people well, I hope you get it!
Tictock-- how are you doing?
-

Hello to everyone else...
-
Yay for a good scan Duchess :)
Mel hope things start picking up for you soon <3
Kbud i only starting thinking names & buying stuff after 20wks
-
Get my results on Monday :)
Molester- :( I hope things start getting better soon.
Duchess- Yays for good scan :)
AFM- Swelling has gotten suddenly worse this arvo and is hurting my hands. Not sure if that is a reflection on bp possibly being higher this arvo or not. It is annoying me. I think its time to get a cheap machine. Also doesn't help my belly is hurting today cos I've had to wash my support band and not allowed to dry it in the dryer. I did have a good nap today though :D
