20 weeks here. scan was all good however fate has dealt me an anterior placenta which will mean i won't feel bub as soon or as much. just what you want after mc huh! i am fine though, have decided what will be will be and i cannot control it. midi appointment was today and she explained how to feel tummy, the one where they measure.
hope you are all doi ng well x
Doing okish here atm. My groin area is so darn tender, can feel (even with hands) that bub is spreading my bones lol tmi i totally know! I also think i may be getting thrush. Other than that I'm doing ok.
Kbudgie- The top and sides my friend IRL feels her bub heaps
Cheshire- That's good...cruising is very good
Melster- Someone made a comment to me today saying how difficult and silly it is having 3 kids 5 and under...forgetting I'll have 3 under 5 :/
Ticktoc- Lol I do not envy you being pregnant this summer. Ive told dp that next baby we will only try during spring and summer haha
My glucose test was great he said. 4.something. Heart beat was good. But all of a sudden I'm measuring at 31 weeks. and I'm booked in for the section 17th oct in the arvo. He said maybe I'm sick with a virus. And been put on two heart burn tablets a day. At 4 am I woke up nearly choking with vomit and instead of just in my mouth I spewed everywhere. It burn all my throat and I started coughing and couldn't breath... Terrible.
Yay kbudgie, halfway! It goes so quick doesn't it?
Damprye I carried DD in summer (she was born late March) and it was hell, especially once the oedema kicked in. Thankfully we're now living on the coast so it doesn't get as hot as it does north vic. If you hear of beached whale sightings in the Torquay / Ocean Rd area that'll be me
Mel I hope the tablets work, I cannot imagine how horrible it must be to wake up vomiting & having the burning sensation.
How far are you meant to be? Obviously not 31 weeks if you've just had your glucose test.
I'm good, it seems my boobs are growing again (DP was away 4 nights for work & has said there's a noticeable difference). I really need to be aware of heavy fatty meals though as my gall stones are playing up & causing discomfort.
I've been drinking Gatorade every couple of days, I'm sick of water & the constant constipation & over heating at night makes me feel thirsty.
Hi everyone! Just checking in... sorry have been away and not posting. tLife just seems so crazy busy not much time for internet! Anyway I am 24 weeks today- hooray! Feeling pretty physically horrible but mentally coping much better with pregnancy and feeling hopeful and positive. Lovely to see everyone's weeks ticking over and babies getting bigger and closer to arriving. So exciting!
Am trying to decide if I should take today off work- we moved on the weekend & I've overdone it. My lower back & hips hurt & my poor belly feels tender & bruised. And I am exhausted! My step mum & one of my sil's have told me to stay home, and I'm confident I could spend the day laying on the couch sleeping but I don't have a lot of s/l built up so don't want to waste it. Don't know what to do Maybe cry because I'm so tired? I try to not pull the "but I'm pregnant" card but am wishing I did on the weekend - DP only seemed to notice I was doing too much after other people had commented I should be resting. He's a first time Dad so I'm not upset with him. But I do wish when I had said I was thinking of staying home he had said "that's a great idea" instead of "that's up to you honey"
DP asked me where does it hurt & I burst into tears so that's it, I'm staying home. He made me promise I won't unpack or rearrange anything & I can only leave the bed or couch if it's to see the GP for a medical cert., the osteo for my hip or to take DD to & from school. I can live with that.
Yes I have become one with my sofa - I have an osteo appointment at 12 & she can write a medical cert so no need to visit GP. I'm wearing my maternity jeans for the first time today, super comfy across my belly. They're only from Kmart so nothing flash but definitely doing the trick today.
I didnt get heart burn and vomitting for the first time in a week last night...what a relief to have a break!!!!! although today i have been having continual tighenings and braxtons and there getting closer together..not painful as such more period like..have to keep an eye on it...my belly feels so hard....
Lyra....congratulations on 24 weeks!!!
Tick tok...yes i have some pants from kmart...although there all getting slightly tighter...my work pants i cant put over my belly anymore...but i only have 6 weeks left at work so i dont really want to be buying anymore clothes..but i have a feeling that things might become a bit uncomfortable.....i hope you feel better soon
I cannot believe i have 6 weeks at work starting next week and 8 till the baby it feels like yesterday i was freaking out about the test coming up positive and run out the house to a friends house because i was so freaked out crying LOL.....
Trying to stay strong and not annoy everyone with my insessant whining. In constant unrelenting pain and wanting the next few weeks to hurry...although apart from that, I am enjoying being pregnant. I have started expressing on reccomendation from the MW and OB. Got a decent amount (for collostrum) last night and have syringes now
dampyre I am sure this is a place you are allowed to vent.
afm the heartburn is keeping me awake. If I try to sleep upright I end up with aches everywhere. currently have a stiff shoulder
dh thinks I am not enjoying being pregnant because he knows how badly I am sleeping I guess.
Have you tried one of those travel pillows that goes around your neck for airplanes and car trips, etc? Helps stop your head from lolling to the side so it doesn't hurt the neck and shoulder muscles so much
Main reason I don't want to whine is because I myself am over my whining. I want to try and concentrate on the positives and enjoy the last of my pregnancy. Positive thinking type thing. Putting my energies also providing support for other with similar ailments I expressed 6.5mLs of collostrum last night so feeling pretty damn proud of my body atm. I have 20 syringes to fill and then reasses with OB if I should begin storing larger feeds or to keep going with anount per expression, not that he was the one that suggested syringes, that was an idea from the October group. I'm not sire how much I'll be needing since we don't know when she will come. If she doesn't end up needing it (full term) then I'll save some for when she gets sick and donate the rest. I'll be donating anyways and if it is to a sick or prem bubba, then that will help the lil dear so much.
Last night i only vomitted once from heart burn....i asked hubby to put my dinner in a container as i had training and i have to stop eating late at night...i tried to eat as much as i could at 6pm......but by the time i got home at 9 and was hungry so had one peace of bread....i went to sleep and vomitted must have been about 11ish...but then it wasnt till 4ish that i got some gurgling but wasnt sick....my braxtons continued but havent got any worse..ill see how today goes...
Damprye....there are reasons why youre winging though!!!! you have a very valid reason.....i hope the positives help you feel a tiny bit better..i can believe youre milk...my milk is no were to be seen
Kbudgie.....i here you with the heart burn....mines so chronic i can be sick up to 15 times a night....the only relief i have found is...eating early and trying to be finished by about 6...not eating or even drinking much after that..as fluids can also bring on the heart burn..i have two tablets a day of losec....sleeping upright like you said....well half up...
sorry I have been MIA - just joined in and never posted again! I have been reading all your posts though (yay notifications!). Its just been a really full-on awful few weeks that I won't go into now.....
I did end up getting my results, and the Dr said the levels were quite high, but that didn't really make me feel any better, as my levels with my m/c have been higher than with my DD's.
Damprye - I think that has been part of my worry, the 2 and 2, that and something a psychic said a LONG time ago.... that I would have "2 or 3" children - so which is it, 2 or 3??????? I used to think that the 3 was angel 2 and 2 DD as they were all within a few years, and then now I wonder, and that I think is what bothers me, the will it actually be 2 or 3? Then the sensible part of me says what rot, and all of those other things about choice and choosing and we hadn't really thought about three till well after 2 was born etc etc......
Can I also ask, how is your friend who had the bleeding? I had been thinking about her as her situation sounded a bit like mine with angel 2, though I hope her outcome was much better.
great news on the expressing - are you anticipating or planning for your baby arriving early (have I missed something) or is it "just in case"
tic toc - yay for your scan! And don't feel bad for taking a day off work. I don't know how many Mondays I had off work when pg with DD1 after overdoing it on the weekends.
Melster - I had the vomiting reflux in my sleep with DD1. and sorry, no suggestions, other than sleeping sitting up. I hope get over it soon....
OK, AFM - ladies I am scared, really scared.
I have had the odd brown spot and have tried not to worry, but then keep remembering that's how it initially started before......
and then tonight, while cooking dinner, I started bleeding, proper bleeding, and now some cramps.
I will phone my Dr tomorrow to get some urgent blood tests and a scan, but I am really not feeling confident at the moment.
sorry to bring the thread down, but I need to tell someone who understands how I feel.
