Thanks ladies. I am feeling anxious due to my past two m/c but I am this will be a happy ending meaning Ill get my baby at the end of it.
I saw the Dr who gave me the referal for repeat bloods. She told me not to have it till 72hours which is Thursday Lunch time. All I can say is thank God I can get the results that day asanother few days on top of Thursday to get the results would not help. Sorry for my anxiety. I hope it eases as soon as I see the numbers rising and if not
HI girls. Lovely to see all the new faces in here. I feel really slack about not posting much but it is SOOO hard to get on the computer these days
SammyP - Just wanted to say how so, so sorry I am for your recent loss. Its just so horrible to have this happen anytime, let alone repeatedly. I hope you are being looked after
Zstar - yipee at great scan and seeing your bouncing bean. I would take the scan date rather than your last period. They are pretty accurate at that early gestation and your ovulation date can be quite variable
Josh'smum - yay for you too at seeing a little HB. SUCH a reassuring sign. Hopefully all continues on smoothly from here on
erybery - wow 32 weeks. Getting closer to the finish line now
Easha - hoping you are ok after the other day
Pash - good to see all going werll for you
greenslw - HUge CONGRATS on your engagement. How sweet of your DP!
WTH - hey buddy. Glad your pg is all going to plan. Its amazing that we will both have these precious babies in our arms fairly soon. Yuk for the sinus issues. I have had two bad bouts this pg and I must say, the thing that helped most was acupuncture. I was there for just routine pg wellbeing stuff but asked her to treat the sinus both times and within a couple of days was feeling much better both times.
emmy - best of luck with BT on thurs. I remember that waiting only to well. Every day for the first few weeks really is agony but you will get through it!
AFM - All is going along ok although typical for me, nothing is ever simple. We have attempted the 4d scan a record breaking 3 times with NO success. Not even one picture of our little princess. Face has been hidden every time by cord,feet,hands etc! Quite disapointed given this was my birthday pressie and supposedly meant to be something "nice" for this highly traumatic pg. Anyway, guess we just have a very stubborn baby. Coming from this scan however, some concern over my amniotic fluid level. The scan is totally NON medical but she did mention it and I hae enough knowledge to have noticed myself. OB is sending me for a proper scan next week to check everything.If bub an ok size then will probably just need monitoring so hoping this is the case. Otherwise she will still have to come out early.
MOvements have been pretty good whichc is what I am supposed to be watching out for so not to worried at this stage
I did purchase a wig finally, thanks ladies! Looks pretty natural, certainly to those who don't know me so feeling a bit better about stepping out now!
Emmy Welcome to the thread. I hope Thursday flies by and you get wonderful news.
Greenslw Congratulations!!! That is wonderful news. DP does sound so sweet, and you sound really happy
Josh's mum Yay on seeing the heartbeat. It's a wonderful moment. Don't worry, I cried too (bawled actually, and at the second one too).
Meredith Wow, this little one is taking camera shy to a whole new level! Still, you may have gotten a good bday pressie after all if the latest scan showed low amniotic fluid levels. You may not have known otherwise. Hope that sorts itself out and that the placenta makes some more fluid. Glad you feel more comfortable with the new wig.
AFM Not much new to report. I am really excited though. My friend in Qld just had a baby girl, and she is just adorable. I don't know when I'll get to meet her, but I hope it's soon. It's just wonderful knowing that they've started on this life changing journey and are loving it. And I'm selfishly a little bit excited to hopefully have a new home some time this year, and to meet monkey too.
Oh and DH is just being so wonderful, supportive and loving. He always is, but seems even more so now. I've been taking the p1ss out of him cos I read that the dad's testosterone levels drop during pg and are the lowest when the baby is born. And apparently the lower the levels, the more the dad is likely to be hands on.
Emmy - Welcome. Goodluck with the BT results tomorrow. I know its easier said than done but try to focus on each day as it comes - beyond that there's not much we can do
greenslw - Congratulations on your engagement. Fantastic news!
WTH - I hope your sinus trouble eases soon.
josh'smum - So happy you got to see a heartbeat. Its not silly to cry...happy tears are good.
Meredith - It does seem as though you have a very stubborn girl...or maybe just a really shy one. Lots of movement is always good so I hope the amniotic fluid is okay by next week's scan. Getting a wig was definitely a good idea if you feel more confident leaving the house. I for one am glad you allowed yourself that well deserved expense.
pash - Lol at teasing your DH over testosterone levels. My DH has always been fantastic support too but seems more so now that I'm pregnant. He's especially more patient with me when all I want to do is veg out on the couch, and even started sleeping in another room while he had a cold and his snoring was unbearable. Thanks for sharing that info 'cause now I can tease him about his hormones too.
AFM - Not much to report. Everything is ticking along and I'm getting lots of movement now despite having an anterior placenta. Have been buying a few small things for the baby. Not getting carried away with big stuff just yet as we're still working on clearing out the nursery so don't have anywhere to put anything.
Congrats greenslw on your engagement such exciting news.
I had a big cry this morning. I just have a really bad feeling so tomorrow can't come quick enough so I can find out what my levels are doing. I wish I didn't even know I was pregnant yet. It has being 48hrs since the first test its so tempting to go have it done now then I would have the results this afternoon but the Dr told me to wait 72hours which is this time tomorrow. I just wish it would hurry up.
Finally a little chance to drop by here and say thank you to you all Little Emma is quite a night owl but well worth the lack of sleep.
Anyway as most of you know, I was booked in for an induction (for the second time LOL) last Thurs. On Tues night I had finally resigned myself to it because of there was no indication that labour was happening anytime soon. So I went to bed early that night and what do you know I was woken up an hour later at 11.30pm by a really strong contraction - enough to get me up out of bed. Went to the loo and I had a show - yippee no induction for me!! Anyway, little Emma was born 1 hour later soon after I got to the hospy. She is just wonderful, we are so happy our family is finally complete And DD1 is just in love with her!
Thanks so much for all the support over the last 9 months, I hope no one minds me lurking to see how you all get on. I can't wait to see more bubs arriving to the ladies in this thread - if I can make it through a pregnancy without turning into a total basket case, anyone can! Good luck and sticky vibes everyone!
Z star and Emmy: praying for some great news for you. I hope that all is ok for both of you.
Greenslw: Congratulations on the engagement. Very exciting time for you and DP.
Megsmum: Congratulations on the safe arrival of bub.
Erybery: I'm interested to know if your ob is treating your PCOS whilst you are pregnant. My ob said that it only really causes issues conceiving, although I have seen on other sites (the internet can be a dangerous thing) that other ladies with PCOS have progesterone tablets or creams and some even take metformin. I trust him, as he was the one I was seeing when I had my mc and delievered DS but I was just curious.
Meredith: Here's hoping that bub isn't as shy about making her appearance to the world as she is with the camera.
Hannah: Fetal movements are the best. I can't wait to feel mine this time around.
Hi to all the other ladies on this thread.
AFM: Have been struggling a little bit with ms this week. Very tough with a 2 1/2 year old that just wants to play at the park or climb all over mum. I haven't been vomiting much just feeling nauseous. I'm not complaining, I wouldn't dare. I was a little better yesterday, which worried me, but terrible again today so I'm relieved.
I know I have been missing lately, been so busy finalising things at work and then coming home and sleeping.
Megsmum - congrats on baby Emma - just love that name.
Sorry to you ladies that are having a rough time.... when you have your baby all the pain will go away.
AFM - 1 day of work to go - woot, woot !!! So excited. I also have my baby shower Sunday and finally I am starting to prepare for the little one. So much to do though.
Doc has concerns cause the BP continues to increase so will focus on rest and more rest.
Just wanted to pop in and say hi to you all. Hopefully will have more time for persies when I have finished work.
emmy83 - hang in there and i hope everything works out. you hear so many different stories. its not over till its over.
wth - sinus - yuck - i get infected sinus at times. you poor bugger. hope it clears up very soon.
sammy - thinking of you. i hope you are ok.
joshsmum - heartbeat is awesome!
pash - i love the testosterone info! i will keep that up my sleeve
meredithd - bugger about your scan! you will just have to wait until the bubba is here to truely see its face!
big hi to everyone else. i hope you are all happy and healthy!
afm - just had a blood test to test my hcg levels. started to get discoloured mucas like i did last time i m/c. staying positive and i feel very calm so that is good. well, better get back to work - it isn't going to complete itself!

Meredith - had not mean't to miss posting to you yesterday. I agree with what Pash said about the 4D scan saga possibly being a good birthday pressie afterall. Would love to call it divine intervention, but coincidence or not, your "stubborn" bubba has let you know about the low amniotic fluid levels. What a clever princess! I remember reading in the past that some women get fluid injections to keep things going in the last trimester, so certainly is something that can be helped GL with your scan
