zstar - No worries at all Hope it all helped and that you are feeling better about things this week. The m/s sounds promising though, mine was very on and off this time whereas with DD it was constant, so if you get a break anytime during the day from it try to enjoy it! I never got much in my pg that miscarried either
lauren - Those numbers sound great! All the best for your next scan, I'm sure it will go well.
Hannah - Yay for feeling your first kicks! It is a wonderful feeling, I actually feel only squirms now LOL not too much room in there anymore! And glad to hear your midwife visit went well, I really do think a good midwife is worth her weight in gold especially when you are in labour.
human bean - Congratulations and welcome, all the best for the next 8 months or so!
erybery - Glad to hear the ob appt went well and yay for being able to eat all the carbs you want!
Easha - Hope the move went smoothly I know how you feel about the penguin waddle LOL
WTH - Ding dong
Rachel - Congratulations and welcome I'm so glad you are feeling so positive about this one, I think it really helps when you are in a good headspace with it all All the best!
to everyone else that I've missed, buliej (GL for this cycle!) Theresa, mollycat, chappas, Karen, Meredith and Rach and anyone else that I've missed - hope you are all well.
AFM, well still struggling with this blasted cold. It is mostly gone now, but it has left me with a horrid cough that we are pretty sure is bronchitis I saw the ob today and he has told me to get some cough medicine into me and try to get rid of it before this baby makes an appearance, which could be anytime now. The head has moved further downwards again, so he is pretty sure things are on their way even though I haven't felt any signs yet. I'm back to see him next Monday if nothing happens in the meantime, I imagine that I might get the induction chat then, but we'll see. I'm pretty sure he is hoping I won't need it - me too!
Megsmum - "Ding Dong" right back at ya Hope the Durotoss is doing the trick and you are getting some sleep!
Can'twaittobeamum - CONGRATULATIONS on your PG and . It is so exciting to have so many new faces in the last week or two. Great for this thread to be on a roll!
Humanbean & Zstar - it is great to read your one day-at-a-time approach is working and that you are both so optimistic
Easha - hope your move went smoothly. The hard part is over. Well done!!
Erybery - I am with you on the "loooooooooooooong pregnancy". We did IVF, so have been tracking this bubba since Day 1. Glad you have another lovely pic to pop on the fridge door.
Mollycat - very exciting to have you pop in and to see your nicely progressing ticker xx
Hannah - glad you hit it off so well with your midwife and that you are in good hands.
Lauren - hope everything is continuing to go well for you. GL with the scan
to everyone else.
AFM - looks like DD is coming down with a shocking cold. We were having such a good run, too! Meanwhile my Ob appointment went OK on Friday. Full blood count, antibodies and GTT all came back fine. The latter is a bonus as I have become addicted to children's milky white chocolates (so good to have something so naughty and guilt-free). I did not manage to put on any weight in the past fortnight, but my Ob is not worried as it has been pretty decent until now. But, I have been told to eat more...
zstar that sounds like my ms. Nothing too full on but just annoying.
human bean one day at a time sounds great.
cantwait welcome, this is a great place to share, congrats on 9 weeks.
megsmum sorry you're still sick. Wishing you all the best for the week. Not long
WTH eat more! what a cool thing to be told. enjoy the chocolate.
It feels like ages since I've posted here.
Well I told my boos today. She was pretty excited for me. Gave me a hug and said a few reasuring things. I said I only want 10 weeks off and she said 'take as long as you need' we spoke about finances and she shared some of her personal history. She went back after 4 weeks. OMG that's soon. I said I loved my job and don't want to loose it and she said that 'they love me and my job is safe' I almost cried. She then went on to do the boss thing of strategiesing how when etc etc. which is fine, I hope I get to be a part of that chat. I'm telling my exec manager Thursday even though my boss wanted to she said she'd let me. NICE.
One thing she did say that got me thinking (why I'm up now) is that cos I've only been at work for 4 months that some of the staff may not take the news well and could be undermining and sabotage my role as manager. oh boy it never entered my head until today. I hope not but I guess you never know.
Huge relief to have spilled the beans only Step Daughter and my Dad left on the VIP list then it's out out out
i have been coming in everyday and having a read.....good to see everyone is doing well...
greenslw - glad you have told your boss and that went well. must be a relief. it stressing me out even trying to comprehend the whole work issue. trying to find the line between having time off and spending as much time as i can with the bubba-to-be (as much as we can afford) and also ensuring my position is not in jeopardy. anyway, i don't have to deal with that yet so i'll leave it alone for now!
wth - my god. that is a dream come true to be told to eat. very jealous. my ms is so bad that i have to eat every half hour or so so i am paranoid about getting massive!!
megsmum - how exciting! you are so close. i hope that cough has already gone! i have taken your advice and if i do get a break i am enjoying it! i was driving this morning and nearly had an accident because i realised i wasn't sick! hilarious.
cantwaittobeamum - . great to see another new mum-to-be! i wish you a very healthy and happy pg! i look forward to sharing the long journey we have ahead of us.
erybery - this whole baby making process seems to take forever. i look forward to the day of sticking my pic on my fridge! glad to hear everything is going well!
sunny & humanbean - i hope you are both well and taking good care of yourself. i look forward to getting an update of where you are both at soon.
to everyone else - i hope you are healthy and happy!
afm - this ms has taken me by surprise and knocked the wind out of me. it is now pretty much 24/7. haven't vommitted so that is good. i had monday off work. i was so rotten. i am now learning how to manage and live with it. it certainly took the shine off being pg. yesterday and today i have had a couple of 'breaks' from it. went to the doc yesterday and she gave me maxalon to use in emergencies. was worried if i had to see clients face to face and being rotten. i haven't used any yet. am really trying not to. i so hope this passes soon! my boobs are so sore to. even if i brush by them. they hurt in the shower. don't get me wrong - i am soooo grateful to be pg. could not be happier. it all just takes a bit of adjusting! at least this time i fully feel pg! only 11 days till my scan! wahooo!!!!!
zstar, I agrea about leaving it alone, I didn't really pick it up again until I was 12 weeks. Then I started panicing because I had no plan and it needs to be done before 20 weeks, I know that's ages but I'm a worrier. At 5 weeks I just loved having a secret of my own. MS is awful but it is a good sign. Hope you find something to calm it for you, rice crackers were my saviour.
Hmm today I'm feel crapy myself, couldn't sleep due to sore tummy last night and have been up since 5am when i could have slept in till 9 the sore tummy thing is doing my head it, I don't want anything to touch it atm, but keeping clothes on for now. Feeling butterflies big time which isn't the sore but put it feels like an elbow adult poking around in my pelvice. Not cramps just uncomfortable. Any Ideas?
I let down my guard and told everyone.
I feel so bad and it will be so hard to tell everyone if we loose it. Why did i do that
I got so excited and now i feel so bad. Grrrrrr I'm so upset about this and i dont know why its getting to me so badly.
cantwaittobeamum- welcome! hope you have the smoothest and happiest nine months
zstar- sorry to here about your ms hope your feeling better so soon
human bean- your so optimistic! im taking the same approach its probably the only thing keeping me sane
megsmum- hoping your nasty cold goes away real soon
