Dory - hello! and I hope your furbaby's treatment goes well. I know how much I would miss my furbaby if she was away from me for three weeks, so I am sending you some of her purrs - can you hear???
HPL - I know what you mean about the insomnia!!! URGH!!! I stagger out of bed this morning, and announce to DH that "I HATE BED" I hate lying down (reflux) I cant lay on my side (either side, clicky hips), shouldn't lay on my back but find that I end up half sitting half lying on my back (I think that this is thw worst possible position to be in, isn' it? I manage about 1 1/2 hours then I wake, and I am getting 2 or 3 of those a night. I am exhausted! Then, if I do fall asleep during the day or even at night, I am having really wierd dreams. They say it is to help you get ready for staying awake at night with the baby. I am going to be dead on me feet when it gets here I think!
Angelfish - I hope you are resting!
Audax - our furniture is a mix-match of older restored pieces and a couple of new things. I think for us the common theme is that they all belong to the baby! LOL! The items are mostly white, and I have put some transfers and things on them but each item has a different coloured "trim" as I wanted some bright colours to go with the white.
Ashie - Yay for your scan results! I have no idea either re the boy or girl! I have everything in white, green or yellow.
Sammy - yay for feeling optimistic! yay for pg symptoms!
Teagam - a home birth sounds fab! unfortunately for us - we live in the sticks, so no-one would come here and its a bit too far from town/hospital if things don't go smoothly.
possum - I look forward to seeing you back here soon too! I am glad that your m/c is complete - at least avoiding D&C is some small consolation. 3 months would have been an ordeal.
Hello to everyone else and sorry to those I missed!
AFM - 31 weeks. Yes WOW Dory is a good way to describe it.
I still have morning sickness (damn it!). I am finding it really hard at the moment. Because, as I am sure you all understand, we so wanted this bub, and were devestated at the loss of our angels, I always imagined that I would just lurv being pg. Well I don't, dare I say it, I hate it! So as well as the MS, I have reflux, so I can vomit at night too. And I have huge swollen feet. I have to monitor my BP to make sure it is not the beginings of pre-eclampsia, but fortunatley BP although a little high is OK. I mean, I don't want the baby out by anymeans, I just want to be able to be happy and glowing and enjoy the pg, and then I feel so guilty for feeling, well, like crap. I am so tired. I have got "clicky hips" (Pelvic Girdle Dysfunction), so my sacro-illiac joints click in and out, and my symphis pubis feels like I have spent a month on a horse. So it hurts to sit. It hurts to ly down, on either side. I can lay on my back for a while, but even that is painful, and you're not supposed to lay on your back when pg anyway. Even with pillows all around me, if I do fall asleep, I find that I have chucked them all out of the bed and when I wake I find I am laying on my back.
I have also been told that For swollen feet - sit or ly with your feet elevated.
For reflux, sit or ly with your head and shoulders elevated.
How do you do both? GRRRR
sorry ladies, that's just how I feel.
Having said that, We booked in to the hospital last week, so that made it all very real, and was very exciting. But it was also triggery too. The room they sent me into was the room that I had to go in when I had my m/c last year, and it was all a bit de ja vous and I started to cry, and feeling emotional couldn't stop. The midwife was really good, especially when I told her how horrible I was finding pg, and how guilty I was feeling because of it. I mean I know I have to go this journey to get the reward at the end, I just wish the journey itself could be enjoyable too, IKWIM? I mean, I spent first trimester spewing and scared of m/c. I spent second trimester spewing and scared, and then now I am passed 30 weeks, and can relax somewhat, I am just overwhelmed with even more spewing and exhaustion and pain. Why can't this be fun?
sorry for my moan ladies. I really am, and I hope it's not too triggery. I know it sounds selfish to those who have just lost their angels, and those at the beginning of their journey, and I really don't mean it to be, so I hope you forgive me my moan.
