chappas- Big congrats on the birth of your baby Daniel- great news!!
TinaR- I'm so glad your scan went well, I have been thinking of you.
Meredith- you are also in my thoughts. I hope everything goes well for you.
Hannah- Noticed we are at the same stage in our pregnancies! Sounds like you have a busy bub in there. I too have been trying to improve my posture- I find at work I get abit lazy at my desk and start slumping!!
Easha- thinking of you too, all the best for the next few days.
zstar- good luck with your scan!
mrzbaby- welcome and congrats! I know you must be anxious, I couldn't wait to feel my baby move- it is always very reassuring. Will be thinking of you, good luck with your next scan.
WTH- hope your Ob appointment went well, not long to go now!
babymiracles- glad your move went well, bet you're relieved that's over!! I had Srep B with my first pregnancy. I remember being totally freaked out by it! When my waters broke at home, I had to go straight to hospital and was put on an antibiotic drip. DS came out just fine, so don't worry. Good luck with everything.
josh'smum- Hi fellow Melbournian. Sorry you have been feeling so yucky, hope the MS passes soon. Won't be long until 2nd tri!
To all the other girls I have missed- big hello's and hope you are all well and happy xx
AFM- Looking forward to my Ob appointment next week. Have been stressing about baby's growth- just hope all is well in there. Getting plenty of movement so that's great!
Have had bad indigestion lately- I've got to have smaller meals I think! I just get sooo hungry at lunch and dinner, and eat too quickly!!
Hope you all have a great week xx
DS- 16/07/2006 3 years old Sept '08 (7.5 weeks) Feb '09 (10 weeks)
Had Ob appointment yesterday. Our low baby is now even LOWER! Ob agreed I was having pre-labour symptoms. These can last some time, but with the position of bubs it looks like we are now talking super-soon. He could not actually say when, just "boy is that baby low!"
Our goal is to we make it to Saturday when I hit 36 weeks so I can have my emergency CS in the cushy private hospital (had a difficult birth with DD at the local public one - still feel a bit yuk from it all). So I have been told to rest at home. I am allowed to sit and use the computer so I should be able to keep you all up-to-date and catch up on some BB persies
Kath - have you tried Rennie tabs? Safe in pregnancy, a great calcium boost and have been a god-send these past few days for me with strong heartburn and indigestion.
Josh'sMum - my SIL whole family are genetically low in Vitamin D. Apparently it can commonly happen, regardless of diet, etc. They only just found out about it recently. No amount of sunshine does the job - they all need to take supps.
Babymiracles - glad you have got the move out of the way and had a lovely baby shower. It is so exciting that you are about to meet your little miss. Sorry that I cannot help you with the Strep B, but I do know the outcome with antibiotics is said to be excellent
Zstar - with your NT scan. Hope they give you a nice pic to bring home and pop on your fridge
Mrzbaby - I used a doppler for this pregnancy, too. I bought it online at about 12 weeks and it certainly kept my mind at ease before I started to feel bubs move. Like Babymiracles, I invested in a rather good one with an LCD display showing the BPM. BTW I also have an anterior placenta. I can't remember if I was anterior with my first PG, but felt movement at perhaps 18 weeks with DD. They say in subsequent PG's you will feel it sooner. This time around I felt it at about 18 weeks again (not the 25 weeks that was suggested to you). Similarly to Hannah, I generally first felt flutters after a warm drink if I was semi-reclined on the bed. On days where I was active, I rarely felt anything.
Tina - congratulations on your great scan!
Meredith, Erybery and Easha - thinking of you... x 3
to Hannah, Mollycat, Karen Van, Pash, Lee, Theresa, Rach and anyone I have inadvertently missed!
babymiracles - I'm going through the WCH midwifery clinic. Glad you had a great baby shower and got lots of pressies for bubs.
zstar - Goodluck for the nuchal scan today. Keep us posted.
josh'smum - Sorry (& glad, IYKWIM) you are feeling sick. I remember how reassuring it was, but it was so tiring. Take care of yourself, you're almost through the 1st tri. I think babymiracles is on to something with our attitude to sun protection causing vitamin D deficiency. Sunscreen does interfere with production since it blocks UV light. Our skin needs to be exposed to the sun to get the full benefit (but I think 10 minutes a day is all we need under normal circumstances, unless there is some medical condition as WTH described). Glad your doc is on to it though.
kath - Hi belly buddy! Looks like our baby girls are both due on the same day.
WTH - It looks like things are happening. How exciting! you make it to Saturday.
AFM - The sh*t has hit the fan at work. I walked in yesterday to find my co-worker's desk empty and a card & email that said goodbye. He and I were the only ones responsible for statistical analysis. There is a third position, but the person filling that starts the week after I leave and even if we find a replacement for me, they won't be starting until after I leave either. The executive manager also does analysis, but he is a full-time clinician as well so its too much for him to be entirely responsible for picking up uncompleted projects as well as induct two new staff. I'm so frustrated. I'm feeling so overwhelmed with preparing for the baby so finishing at 34 weeks sounds really, really good to me now. But I don't want to leave work in the lurch as they've been so good to me. Sorry for the rant. I'm just so sick of going back and forth over this.
Hannah - about work, sounds like a difficult situation. I hope you can come up with a plan that suits you and bub.
WTH - Will do my best to send you a note today but have everything crossed for you to make it to 36 weeks. I definitely recommend the cushy hospital, my time in private hospy with Emma was heaps better than the public i had DD1 in!
babymiracles - Glad the move went well and that you had a nice baby shower. Not long left for you now! Sorry I can't help with the Strep B either, I was neg for it.
mrzbaby - Welcome! You are in a good spot where everyone understands your worry, and wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy. I also had an anterior placenta and felt some flutters at 14 - 15 weeks, so you may be feeling bub. I had definite movements though by 18 wks.
Hi and belly rubs to everyone else that I've missed, sorry for no more persies - I'm trying to type left handed while Emma feeds now and it is not easy!! BTW for anyone that is interested, I have just posted our birth story
Hi ladies - have been away for 6 weeks - but couldn't pop in and not wish Meredith all the very best for the upcoming birth of Upsy - I've followed your journey too, and like most of us in here, it's been long and hard - so I'm thrilled you are about to meet your new bub - and will be stalking you!!! Hope your birth goes just the way you want it, it's great Upsy is preparing herself already!
Easha HOw exciting! Can't wait to read your birth announcement. Or did I miss it?
Meredith Wow, so much has happened. I'm glad things are starting to happen naturally for you too. It's like your body agrees with your ob.
WTH It's all starting to happen! How very exciting!
I've been speed reading to try to catch up and have missed heaps.
I've been MIA thanks to house hunting, and now we're trying to get a loan, roll up the year for our business, organise settlement, plan renovations, furnish enough to be able to accomodate our family over Christmas, plan Christmas (including getting presents for everyone). All this has to happen in the next 10 weeks, or sooner if bubs comes sooner.
As if I didn't have enough on my plate, work just got more busy, I'm anaemic and may have gestational diabetes. I do the GTT with fasting next week. So that makes me worry that monkey might come early.
But despite all the stress, I'm still blissfully happy. I love feeling monkey squirm about inside me, and am really going to miss being preggers when all this is over. I think I might be the sort of mum who never wants to put the baby down.
I'm sorry I haven't absorbed everyone's posts. Hope you're all well and belly rubs all round.
I read someone's daughter (Megsmum?) may have had swine flu. Hope you and your daughter are doing better.
