milly5: glad you got all your questions answered.. such a releif I'm sure
dory; how very exciting about your 20week scan!! Are you going to find out the sex of the baby? or keep it a suprise?
Sparkles: You and I seem to be on the same journey at the same time. With all the doc appts, midwives appt, ultra sounds.... It's exciting but exhausting isnt it??
Hope everyone else is enjoying their growing bellies!!
I'm holding out til Tuesday, we go in for a scan to check for abnormalities runs in the family, but no one, as in my friends, really wanna hear about that, they just wanna know whether we'll have a girl or boy, so i just tell ppl that that's what the scan is really for... In actually fact DP and I are a little nervous as to what they will find.... We are going to find out if we're having a girl or boy, which is exciting, I just hope that everything else with bubs is okay too....
Little scared, but really enjoying being pregnant love the fact that I can feel bub move all the time now, not sure, but DP thinks he felt 2 kicks the other day... Any thoughts? Too early to be bub??
Morning ladies HPL nope definately not too early to feel bubs move, i was around 18 weeks when i first felt movement, only flutters but everyone is different. I hope the scan goes well for you on tuesday and yay to finding out the sex. milly5 it sure is quite a journey but all in all a very enjoyable one, with the exceptions of the little stresses along the way. So glad to hear that everything is fine with bubs. Everytime ive got a look at bub on the u/s the dates have changed so its completely normal, even though its very worrying at the time. Dory that is so lovely to hear the heartbeat and record it on your phone. We havent actually heard our little ones hb but have seen that everything is fine. That will be so lovely for you to have your family at the scan with you. I would have loved to have had my mum and sisters there but it was just special for me and DP. Is it a 3D scan your going to have or just the normal morph scan? Tashybabe that sounds very painful i hope you can get some kind of relief from chiro and accupuncture. Ive had similar kind of thing the last week or so. I was in so much pain yesterday just walking due to my hip absolutely killing me, i was actually limping it was that bad. Little better today but dont want to go doing to much incase it aggravates again Twinsister YAY to only 13weeks left, hopefully that time flies by. Im hearing you on the naming situation. DP had one name in mind for a boy and i didnt like it. So ive made an alteration to it (added a letter and changed the spelling) and now i LOVE it and i think ive convinced DP too Sparkles 17 weeks wow thats flown. Hope your ob appt went well and good luck with the morph scan in a couple of weeks. Are you finding out the sex or keeping a secret? Audax hun how are you going? Hope everything is fine with you and your little one AFM cruising along and i think ive actually stopped stressing about anything going wrong (its only taken 23 weeks but hey) Im feeling bub move everyday now and am actually feeling proper kicks now not just flutters. My belly has really popped out in the last week and has gotten so hard. So my mission for today is to go through the 3 boxes of baby clothes my sister gave me and get them all washed, dried and folded and into the nursery, looking forward to it actually coz there just so cute.
Take care everyone, talk soon
congratulations millyd, sending you sticky vibes and wishing you a H&H pregnancy.
AFM: sorry i dont post much in here, i'm 17weeks 2days and have booked my 18week scan for May 7th and hoping DF can make it he said he'd take a day off if he needed to. I've been having pain on my right hip/pelvis some days are better than others, i told the midwife 2weeks ago about it and she "assumed" it was caused by a UTI even after i told her it was like bone pain/ache and the urine test came back clear, so i have another appt with her tomorrow so hopefully she will be more helpful this time and if not i'll ask to see someone else.
Milly - good to see you have been able to defect! Congrats girl. Do you feel sick yet?
Bonham - good to hear from you, as often as you can post is good. It's nice to be reminded of how you are doing. 17weeks - awesome. Good luck with your scan - May 7 is really not far away at all. I hope your DH can come too. I understand about not posting. If I was at work I would only get here on weekends. I post because I am at home by myself and during the week, BB keeps me sane by feeling connected to the world. On weekends, I have Dh and lots of company, so don't have the time to come in.
I just read your EDD for this bub - NRL grand final day - Can't believe you worked that one so well. Have you got someone knitting you a bunny rug or something in your team colours?
Firsly, CONGRATS millyd!! How very exciting for you!! Lots of sticky vibes being sent your way...
Scan today.... turns out it's 90% chance of being a baby GIRL!! DP and I are over the moon at the news, it was fantastic seeing our baby on the screen!!
She had her hands above her head, like a ballerina, the whole time!! I'm in love with my daughter! Let's hope it is a girl, won't be going overboard with the pink though, just in case we're wrong!!
Hi everyone, I'm new here . . .
Firstly, congratulations to all you pregnant ladies - look forward to hearing about your little bundles of joy as they progress!
Took a home test today and I'm pregnant again after miscarrying on Mar 19 - no AF. Very happy but also burst into tears when I saw it, remembering last time. Estimating that I'm 4w4d, but will have to wait for a scan to confirm.
Thinking I might wait a week or two before confirming at my GP - last time I got a negative result at the GP because it was too early and had to wait another week anyway.
dory: if DF was home during the day i'd hardly be online at all. it was more of a fluke that i'm due on GF day, as i fell approx 7-8weeks after we lost Everson, i know it's going to be interesting to see if i go on my EDD because it's going to be hilarious if i do. I might crochet myself a bunny rug and just incorporate all the colours of the NRL teams.
HPL: congratulations on expecting a GIRL
Jen10: congratulations on your + HPT, maybe leave it a few days and test again?. I know with this bub i tested twice in a week and they were both feint +'s and when i went to the doctor he didnt do any tests but it seems i was only 3-4weeks.
Jen10 - congrats girl! How exciting for you, and we all understand the fear/anxeity/sadness that mixes with the happiness of a BFP. I was soo soo keen to have this pregnancy confirmed that I took multiple HPT's and then was at the GP. I didn't want a blood test to confirm, just a POAS, but done by someone else. It came back loud and strong for me at the GP's. I was over the moon. I have read that HPT's will not be wrong for a +ive but can give false -ive's, if the HCG levels are not high enough when you test. I wouldn't be able to wait if I were you.
HPL - congrats on expecting a little girl to your family. Go and buy a few girlie things for your daughter, if the prediction isn't correct, you can always go out and get some non girlie things if you need to. But how nice will it be if you have some outfits you have chosen for your girl to wear straightway!
Bonham - that would be potentially a really lurid bunny rug! I have one of those but its in pastels..... Does that mean you are about 19/20 weeks now with this pregnancy?
19 weeks today for me. I am getting excited about all ( well not all, can do without heartburn or other nasties) of the aspects of pregnancy I have yet to experience.... getting a big big tummy and waddling. Who would think someone would get excited about that! Has anyone had cravings? I seem not to have had them yet .... I wish I would get one for icecream.
dory: it would be a pretty funky colourful bunny rug i'm 17weeks 3days atm, i'll be 18weeks this Sunday so by the time i have my 18week scan i'll be 18weeks 5days. Wow your only a week or two ahead of me. I dont know whether what i eat is "cravings" i basically eat whatever i want (within reason) and nothing that i wouldn't normally eat.
Hi all,
Sorry i have been so slack on the posting.
Millyd & Jen10 - Huge Congratulations on your BFP's. Take each day as it comes and be positive!
Hope.Positive.Love - Congratulations on a baby GIRL. It makes it so real when you know what you are having. And gee there are some mighty cute girls clothes out there!!
Dory - Antenatal classes were good. From doing lots of reading and reading birth stories on belly belly i felt that i already knew everything we talked about. I havent had any heartburn. People always ask me if ive got it. Wouldnt even know what it feels like. Hopefully you wont get the not so nice symptoms of pregnancy. Yay for 19 weeks... The second half will fly by!
Bonham08 - Wow 18 weeks. When is your next scan? Will you find out the sex??
Belly rubs to everyone else that i have missed.
AFM - Had 36 week scan last Friday. Baby is head down and ready to go. Had to have his kidneys checked out and they look good too. Still a little distended but his bladder is working and he has heaps of fluid around him so they are confident that nothing is wrong. We will probably need to take him for a scan on his kidneys at 6 weeks just to be sure but im not even going to worry about it until we have to. 37 weeks tomorrow and counting down!
Sorry i have been MIA, have had a nasty bout of gastro...YUK!!! I am not a 'sick" person, so it was awful, i never catch tummy bugs, DH and i both woke up with it monday morning, along with 2 of our friends we spent anzac day with, but apparently half the town has it!!! Feeling ten times better today!!
Jen & MillyD - A big congrats, look forward to sharing the journey with you both xx
HPL- Yay on a girl, i;m with Dory, buy a few girly things!!
AUdax - how are you hun? Been thinking of you xx
Milly5 - How awful you still have MS, and here i am complaining about gastro, at least i haven't had it for 21 weeks, you poor thing xx
Maddison - How exciting, so close now.
Bonham - Great to see everything is going good, we are really close in dates.
AFM - I was 18 weeks yesterday, still no massive kicks or anything, just flutters and a tapping feeling, which DH felt last night!!! Have scan next wednesday at 9am, scared but can't wait at the same time, also have to have my cervix length checked just as precaution as i had a laser procedure for an abnormal pap smear about 5 yrs ago!! Hopefully all good!! Ob appoinment last week was cruisy, all good, had to put of miidwife appoinment on monday due to being sick, so rescheduled for next tues, just to finish all hospital paperwork and talk about classes etc.
Hope evryone is well xx
Maddison - oh wow - that is awesome news about bubs position. Good to hear you're being positive about his kidneys too. Oh sweetie - I am so excited for you and can't wait to read your BA and Birth Story.
Sparkles - sorry you were sick. Yukko. Gastro is never nice. It's just so miserable, feeling sick all the time and just waiting for the next vommie or squirtie ( other end). And then feeling so exhausted. Feel better soon.... pity that DH got it at the same time, otherwise he could have taken care of you. Congrats on reaching 18 weeks - it's an awesome feeling, each milestone.
Milly - I am so sorry that youre still sick. In a way having a good day is cruel, because it gives you hope there will be more days like that. I used to suffer from pretty severe & constant nausea for about 3/4 years and whilst I enjoyed the good days, it was hard when reality crashed around me again and I almost wished that I didn'thave the good day. But, the good days gave me hope for what it could be like. And gradually over time, it has improved. Had squillons of tests to work out why. Nothing that could be detected. Diagnosed with IBS. But interestingly, a better, diet, more fluids, more fibre and more exercise helps a lot. Anyway, I just hope a few mor god days can be strong together for you.
Bonham, HPL, Elise - big hugs coming your way...
AFM - 19 weeks now. I will get that ticker up and running. I have heard from the mods and it's ok apparently if my signature changes in old posts, but I ahve to change it in current/future posts ( so I don't breach the rules for posting in TCC/Loss threads)....5 more sleeps til my next scan - the morphology. As usual excited and scared intermittently. C'est la vie. Belly rubs.
Bon - good luck next week. I know you're nervous and scared. You will get through it.
maddison: 17weeks 4days atm, my next scan is a week from tomorrow (May 7th) and we still havent decided if we'll find out the sex or not, DF has been flat out with work.
Sparkles: i was originally in the Sept 16th-30th Belly Buddies group but i ovulated later than what both my doctor & myself thought so my dates were pushed back. Now i'm due October 3rd.
dory: thanks are you finding out the sex?
AFM: my 's EDD is fast approaching so that's going to be a tough day, it's kinda crept up on to be honest. I've checked in with my old May Belly Buddies although it is hard to see them either having already given birth or waiting for their bubba's to be born i felt i needed to give them my best wishes and i just need to concentrate on this bubba i'm growing and stop thinking of the "what if's" because they wont do me any good.
Bon - I am leaving gender a sweet mystery....At least your scan is before Everson's EDD. BUt still a tough week coming up next week. My scan is 4th - Tuesday.
runs in the family, but no one, as in my friends, really wanna hear about that, they just wanna know whether we'll have a girl or boy, so i just tell ppl that that's what the scan is really for... In actually fact DP and I are a little nervous as to what they will find.... We are going to find out if we're having a girl or boy, which is exciting, I just hope that everything else with bubs is okay too....
it was more of a fluke that i'm due on GF day, as i fell approx 7-8weeks after we lost Everson, i know it's going to be interesting to see if i go on my EDD because it's going to be hilarious if i do. I might crochet myself a bunny rug and just incorporate all the colours of the NRL teams.
I knew it wouldn't be long!
