erbery - my god...you are sooo close. so exciting.
greenslw - go for the pace! chop everyone else. they will get over it
smallfryplus - good luck with your scan. will be great for everyone to see bubba. very comforting to hear you know people who have had the amnio with no problems at all. they are the stories i need to hear!!!
wth - hope all is good with you
josh'smum - i feel for you. i am now comfortable with our decision to have the amnio. it has taken me two weeks to get my head around it - to believe in the test and believe in the process and now i'm good to go. many tears cried. i spoke to a lot of people and had so many opinions that just did my head in. it has to be your (and dh) decision in the end. my ob said the risk of m/c is now around 1/1000. you will read it to be 1/300 and those results are from the 1980's when the needles were twice the size and a lot of specialists not trained up. my mum sent me a text that i keep in my phone and read it daily "my darling daughter, be brave, be strong, pray for calm and patience. be confident that your baby is strong & healthy & your little family is happy". i now pass this on to you as my bellybelly friend. Stay strong and be brave and stay positive. we will have our healthy little bubbas in our arms very soon. i am thinking of you. i am booked in 15th oct.
mrshendo - can't wait to hear your positive results!!! i keep logging on to check if you are back yet!
big hi to everyone else. i hope you are all having a good day!
afm - my belly is starting to stick out. It is hilarious. by the time i have had dinner it is all hard around the sides and sticking out quite a bit. i am used to having a fairly flat stomach so it is quite a novalty! i keep laughing at it. i am so enjoying being pregnant and keep talking to my bubba. it is a wonderful gift - we are lucky to be women and get to experience it!
z-star- thanks heaps for your positivity and your words of wisdom. We are feeling pretty happy with our decision to have the amnio now, that's not to say that I am still terrified. I really believe that everything will be ok, but we need to know so we can make an informed decision. We have a 2 1/2 year old we also have to consider the impact on him so have decided that we need to know. The bizarre thing is that the scan was so positive. My ob mentioned that 6 years ago before the bt came in we would have been low risk. My amnio is scheduled for the 13th of Oct, I was hoping you would be able to give me the low down on the procedure but looks like I will be pm you instead.
Hi to everyone else, I will persie in the next couple of days as I am heading away until Thursday. So until then, farewell my pregnant friends.
Just a quickie to let you know I am still about. I am super-huge, super-low and taking things very easy as instructed by my ob recently. Sleeping well, but having much stronger BH, lower-back pain and period-like pain which may be pre-labour or even early-labour. BUT just when I start to think there is a pattern developing...it stops. My CS is booked two weeks today (at 39+3), but my Ob still thinks I will be in labour before then
Just wanted to also congratulate Mrs Hendo - wishing you a H&H PG
Karen Van - great to read about your beautiful baby moon
Smallfryplus - I had rotten headaches at the same stage as you. Panadol did sweet nothing. It did pass, though...
Greenslw - sounds like squeak is becoming quite a character. Glad to hear about all your reassuring wriggles and bumps.
Z-star - are you looking at maternity clothes yet? I found it exciting to finally get to that section in a department store which I (sadly and also superstitiously) kept away from for some time.
Josh'smum - You've had a hectic few days. I hope you have a relaxing time away x
Erybery, Babymiracles and LizJesse - surely ONE of us will have a BA any day now...
Mrs Hendo - Good luck, I hope that bub is a sticky one for you!
WTH - I do agree.. I was starting to think it was happening for me because starting last night, I had the most horrible pains - the thing that made me realise that it wasn't happening just yet is that they weren't regular... Well, they were regular, but they weren't iykwim. I'd have pain for about half an hour, then it would stop for 20 minutes then go again for another 20, then stop for an hour etc etc... It was horrible!
to everyone else - Had my Obs appt - he said everything is going well, now it's just the waiting for the bub to be here! Head is down, but not engaged just yet - and if I keep having the back and stomach pains, take Panadeine.. If it doesn't get any better, just to go to the hospital
mrshendo!!!!!! sticky vibes for you! so glad to hear!
wth, lizjessie, babymiracles and erbery - come on girls!!!!! i'm sitting here with a big smile on my face waiting for the good news! can't believe i will be in your shoes one day. massive!
Just wondering if light cramping is ok.... I feel a little bit like my period is coming on. But not really intense cramping or anything. Is this normal.. I have never experienced a little cramping before without it leading to a miscarriage.
Lizjessie, with both my dd I had BH for a week prior to giving birth. I was induced with dd2 because i had BH ALL night every night 15 minutes apart for a week (of course it would stop first thing in the morning!) and was exhausted when I then picked up the flu so I went to my ob and begged him to induce, I think I was about a week late by then but can't remember as it was all so exhausting and foggy! Good luck with yours! (ps my DD1 is 18/10!!)
Mrs Hendo, great news re your blood work! Congratulations!!
Go team!! lol can't wait to see some announcements It's always so exciting!
to everyone else
mrshendo!!!!!! sticky vibes for you! so glad to hear!
