zstar - I'm sorry your NT scan didn't come back 'all clear' and that you have to face the decision on what to do next. I am glad that you feel so bonded with your baby now. Its amazing seeing them on that screen for the first time. Oh, and don't underestimate your gut feelings either. Goodluck hun.
jules - Congratulations on your Wishing you a happy, healthy and sticky 8 months or so. My suggestion is to see your doc as soon as you can so that you can discuss your concerns about an ectopic and they can monitor you through this early stage
Meredith - Congratulations on the arrival of Holly Beth . (I love that name by the way). I hope your enjoying lots of cuddles now that your girl is finally safe in your arms.
Liz - Welcome and congratulations on your imminent bundle.
Karen - All the best for your homebirth. Sending you lots of good birthing vibes.
to all
AFM - I'm home from work today. I woke up this morning with bad lower back pain, like period cramps. They come and go but not with any regularity, so I don't think its anything serious, just uncomfortable. Sometimes I'll feel cramps in my lower abdomen as well, but usually its when bubs is moving around. I spoke to my midwife this morning (I had to call for my GCT results anyway) and she wasn't overly concerned since the pain is mostly in my back, told me to take 2 panadol, apply some heat and rest for the day. So, that's exactly what I'm doing. By the way, my GCT results came back normal. Yay! And my haemoglobin looks good too
Thanks Hannah I've been meaning to pop in here every now and then but just don't because I have the good ol' baby brain hit me!
Getting plenty of kicks and knees and feelings of our lil one trying to claw his way out. Just got home from the shops and in the middle of the shops I had a lil bit of stomach pain (like period pain) that made me feel nauseous and made me double over, but lasted for around a minute, then I was ok again.. No idea what it was, but I just hope it doesn't happen again - not for a while!
Meredith: Congratulations again on the arrive of your beautiful daughter Holly - what wonderful wonderful news to log on and see
Karen Van: OMG how exciting - sounds very close. Wishing you a wonderful home birth and look forward to reading your birth announcement very soon
LizJessie: Lovely to see you in this thread. I remember you from the Belly buddy group. Glad things are going well - not long to go now
HannahD: hope you are feeling better - I wonder if you are having braxton-hicks contractions - I get them all the time (from about 25 weeks) but they are not really painful so not sure. Rest up. WCH is a great hospital - I am sure you will be in excellent hands there with the midwifery clinic.
Megsmum: so nice that you are still popping in even though I imagine you have got your hands full with little Emma. Hope all is going really well
Juleswa: congratulations on your bfp and welcome to the thread. Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months ahead. It is so nerve wracking, especially in the early days isn't it, but hang in there - one day at a time is all I can suggest
WTH: not long now - hope you doing ok
zstar: sorry about the uncertainty on your NF scan - will pray all is okay. Take care of yourself. When is the amnio booked for?
Bimboo - welcome to the thread. Sorry to hear about the loss of one of your triplets. I think all of us in this thread understand the worry you are feeling. Take it easy and one day at a time
Easha: any news yet?
erybery, pash, lee, mrzbaby, chappas (and little Daniel of course) Hope all is well for all of you
AFM: 38 weeks today - very ready for baby to come - just want to see her in person now and make sure all is okay. Feeling settled in my new/old house and loving the extra space here and the fact that I have my nursery set up and ready to go. Baby's head is low and I keep getting very wierd groin cramps (not like period pain - more in upper inner leg/groin area) that sometimes make it difficult to walk around. Hoping that is everything just stretching in preparation - has anyone else experienced this - they last just a second but sometimes one after another for a few minutes.
babymiracles - Thanks I remember you too I am the same as you personally - though I've got a little longer than you to go! I just wanna meet the lil man that's giving his mum plenty of kicks and knees and elbows and fists Good to hear you've got your nursery all set up. Ours isn't because we've been waiting for my inheritance money to come in and now that we're waiting for it to clear in the bank, we've got a small list of stuff we still need to get for the nursery (eg. Change table, an extra set of drawers - or two!)
to everyone else. Got my MIL and FIL coming to help me with cleaning today, although I've already done the dishes, took yesterdays washing off the line, put in a new load, moved a few things around in the nursery, and collected all the dirty clothes and put them in the laundry.. I'll be surprised if there is anything left for them to help me with when they get here!
Babymiracles - just wanted to let you know had lots of the 'OMG need to stop walking as gripping pain afflicts upper legs/groin' - particularly for me on my right side where my dodgy hip was - it happened a lot in the last month of this pg although it wasn't such an issue last one - think bub was sitting on something sensitive this time - had fun freaking out random shoppers in the dairy cabinet at the supermarket when I had to reach over and grip shelves until it passed (Sorry, twisted bunny...)
Welcome to Bimboo - hope everything goes well and good luck Liz in the last part of your pg!!!
Well - Joss Tait arrived yesterday with a bang!! Waters broke at 6.30am but day was full of irregular fluffy type sensations so I relaxed a bit thinking it would be some time before we met bub - should have known better! At 6pm, like a lightswitch, suddenly burst into full active first stage - rang midwife, rang friend and by 7.30pm both were at our place and I was echoing down the street apparently By 8.15pm was getting ready to push and clambered out of bathtub to give 6 great heaves and our DS was born in our loungeroom, like his sister, at 8.37pm - very healthy, no real trauma for me and we finished up with mimosas and groaning cake while the washing finished and the bed was made up - still stunned but you get that
Thank you to everyone for their wishes, especially for our homebirth and support - it has been wonderful - I hope to keep popping in to see everyone hold their little ones!
