Dory dont be sorry about the selfish post sometimes we just need to vent and let everything out. Thanks for that info about the tightening, it sounds quite similar to what ive been experiencing but have had it happening for probably the past 6 - 8 weeks. I just assumed it was bub moving really close to the front IYKWIM
So its past 2pm so im assuming your little fur baby is home and hope the extraction went well and he/she isnt too sad. Also how did the ob appointment go? I hope you got the answers you were after.
Take care hun
Elise - I got a little distracted with caring for the little fluff ball. He was really good after the proceedure. I spent a few days just taking it easy and keeping a very watchful eye on him, just in case. He is back to his spunky bold rogue self. I am sooo much better now, both from getting my fur baby home safe and sound and from my ob apointment. Thanks for asking. I had an appointment with my ob on Tues and he said the tightenings were "phsyiologically normal" and he can feel them in patients from about 16 weeks and he would expect a few every day for most women, but some women don't feel them. I suppose its just my experiences that have made me more vigilant.
How are you doing? Getting excited? I was reading about baby hicoughs today and wondered if I had felt them. I think so, but its hard to tell.
It's been quiet in here, guess everyone is busy with their own stuff. Belly rubs to all.
Dory glad to hear that your furbabies all better and that you are feeling reassured after your ob appointment. I know what you mean about experiences making us more vigilant, i always think to myself if i hadnt lost my little angel i wouldnt have had any of these stresses but i suppose it just makes us stronger and to appreciate it all the more.
I dont think i have felt the baby hiccups as yet but i have heard that you can feel when they have them, how cute.
Im doing well, have been quite uncomfortable the past couple of days with my tummy stretching so much but i find if i dont have big servings of food its not too bad, which is hard coz im so hungry all the time now hehe.
Your right it has been very quiet in here lately, but as you said everyone must be busy with their own stuff.
Take care hun, Talk soon
Well I am up to 6 weeks, almost 7 weeks. I have a scan booked for Tuesday and I am hoping they can find a heartbeat. If they do then I think I can allow myself some hope. I have been having a lot of cramps and generally aching this weekend. It keeps subsiding so I am telling myself it's just some stretching pains.
SammyP congrats on making it to nearly 7 weeks thats great news. I will be keeping everything crossed for you with the scan tomoro, im sure everything will be fine and there will be a nice strong heartbeat to see. I had a lot of cramping early on and still do now actually and your completely right it is just bubs nestling in and lots of stretching. Thanx for the comment about the avatar, i LOVE it, she does such a great job with them, very lifelike. Take care hun xx
Elise - Sammy P is right - your Avvie is awesome! Thanks for helping me through last week, it was tougher on me than I realised. Two of the cats have spent the day with me, snuggled up. Well they were there when I went to sleep and there when I woke up. One is still here. I think he feels the cold. It was so nice to have snuggle company.
Smamy P - I am so proud of you. I know this is hard. I made myself have hope, even when I didn't really want it because I was so scared. Mostly because I wanted to enjoy whatever I had for how long. Good luck with your scan tomorrow. My ob says relaxin ( the hormone that loosens everything up) starts to have an effect from 6 weeks. So in addition to bubs snuggling in, you've also got relaxin at work. For me, the hip, knee and butt pains get more painful every pregnancy. Good luck tomorrow. I know you're probably anxious and a little hopefully and a lot scared. My thoughts and love are with you.
Audax - how are you feeling?
AFM - I had the biggest nap today - over 4 hours. Decided I'd snuggle up in bed under the doona as I was cold and woke up more than 4 hours later. I am still trying to wake up. At least it means I won't fall asleep early tonight and might get to see through episodes of Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters. Try as I might, most times I just fall asleep during the shows I love to watch and wake up just after they have ended. LOL, murphy's law huh? I am so so excited to be almost 24 weeks. But now I feel the weight of responsibility to take care of myself and do as much as I can to preserve the pregnancy even more than I did before. More than before now, every day counts. Guess I'll get the hang of this new phase of the pregnancy soon enough and it won't seem so daunting.
It isn't looking good. I went along for my scan today and I was told that instead of measuring 6weeks 6days the scan only measures 5weeks 3 days. I was told it's too small to see if it contains an embryo and to come back in two weeks. I looked at my dates and I guess I could be out a week but not this much. I guess the same thing has happened again and there won't be a baby, let alone a heartbeat when I go back in two weeks.
