:happyforyou:
Congrats Tam and welcome to the world Maison! The first bubba born since i have joined this thread. Soooo exciting!!!!! Bring on the bubbas! From what i can see there should be a fair few rolling on in very soon........yeh!!!!
i hope everyone else is having a good day. bring on the week end. to you new pg girls - lauren and sunny and anyone else i have missed - i hope you are staying positive and taking good care of yourselves!
afm - feeling really postive, strong and healthy. i think i have started to get ms. 2 days in a row around 8am (usually when i am coming to the final spoon full of my porridge) i get queezy weird in my head and tummy. it seems to pass around 10:30am. strange. i have it again now. rides at the ekka ect make me sick and it feels like i have just got off a ride. i didn't get any pg signs with my 1st pg. apart from that all is good. had to change the appointment on my 1st scan so dh could be there. 17 days to go. my 'one day at a time' is working a treat.
Congratulations Tam on the birth of Maison Edward - what a lovely name!
Thanks for the welcomes - I agree with zstar - taking things just one day at a time is working for me too and I'm slowly getting more excited as each day passes.
Hope everyone has a great weekend :D
Congratulations on the birth of your son Tam!!!!!
Congrats! That is fantastic news!
Hi Everyone
I have been reading some of the posts over the last few days and this seems like the perfect forum for me to participate in.
My name is Rachel and my DH is Luca. We have been trying to conceive for the last 3 years with all our past pregnancies ending in M/C. So great to find a forum that I can share my journey with and people that understand what its like to go through such heartache and pain.
We are almost 9 weeks now and my obstetrician has now given us a 95% chance of this little bean going all the way.:p
This pregnancy I have not entertained the thought of another loss and really feel this is the one! You all sound amazing and am really looking forward to sharing our journey's together.
Tam - I don't know you but congratulations on the birth of your son!
Have a great weekend ladies!
Rachel
Tam - congratulations... how wonderful!
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!
:hello: 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 :welcome:. 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 :D
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 :goodluck:
:hello: 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...
Congratulations Tam. Well done :dance:
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. :D
megsmum :hug: sorry you're still sick. Wishing you all the best for the week. Not long :D
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 :leap:
hi ladies
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 - :welcome:. 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. :D 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 :wall: 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?
have a great weekend all.
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 :wall:
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 :lol:
megsmum- hoping your nasty cold goes away real soon
laureen hmm it's hard to hold your toungue. I'm sure they were over the moon for you. It almost killed me waiting but I had my mum in my ear daily about 'wait until your safe' which probabbly maid me more parinod that helped. Last night a got a congrats out of the blue from a friend of a friend so once it's out it spreads like wildfire. nice to be congratulated though :D
ATM I can't sleep, why didn't I try and train myself out of tummy sleeping ages ago. Now with the up and down of the toilet call and not being able to sleep how I want I'm so tired. DP is not a good body pillow, he wriggles too much. I'll have to buy one I think. Funny how last week I was comfortable and now it feel just awful to sleep on my tummy.
Hi ladies,
Sorry for no persies, just wanted to let you know I am still here with bubby intact LOL I have just been feeling so unwell with this cough and I'm so tired as well I just don't have much energy to post. And have managed to pull 2 muscles in my back this week coughing, so to top it all of I am in agony as well especially when I cough which is very often!! :boohoo:
Anyway, I have an ob appt on Mon so should have the plan of attack then I think...still no signs of labour starting so I think I'll make it to Monday. But less than a week to go till I meet bub now - can't wait! I just wish she would hurry up and arrive!
Hope you are all well :grouphug:
