Hi Ladies,
I'm new to this forum as I have come accross from the TTC thread. I am reluctant to leave that thread (and I am still hanging around), those girls are awesome and I can't wait for more of them to join this thread.
Just got a BFP last Wednesday and of course I had to test again (to make really sure) on Friday. I really wasn't expecting it as I thought DH and I had missed the boat this month. I had a pelvic US a couple of weeks ago when I thought I was about to ovulate, only to be told that I already had. I was pretty disappointed as I was sure we would have missed the boat. Then to my surprise I have got 2 BFP. My boobs are massive and very sore, my lower back is sore and I have some AF style cramps which concerns me, but I understand that these can also be pg symptoms.
I have a little boy who was born in Jan 2007, I then got pg again and was due when he was 2 and a half. Perfect timing I thought, and of course having had a problem free pg told everyone straight away. I then mc at about 13 weeks, had a D&C and TTC for 5 months (as my ob wanted me to wait a couple of months before getting pg again). I was beginning to think that something was wrong, hence the pelvic US. I am very apprehensive this time around and DH and I have decided to keep it to ourselves. Although that is difficult as most people know that we have been trying, so have been asking me.
Sorry for no persies, I just wanted to introduce myself and hope to get to know you all a little better as time goes on. I hope I am in the right place.
Cheers

Joshsmum - Welcome to the thread, I was in the TTCML thread before and it also gave me lots of support. I still lurk in there daily checking on my Bellybuddies Coco and Cherished and hoping for BFP's from all of you so I know your journey! I'd like to wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy xox

megsmum; glad bubs is intact :D are you getting lots of back rubs for you rmuscles? I hope so. Goodluck Monday. :goodluck:
:hello: josh's mum and welcome.
:lol: glad I'm not the only lurker erybery. how's pg treating you lately?
ATM, being very mumsy, cooking dinner and desert! DP shaved his goatie and he's in big trouble tonight. He threatened to leave it till bubs was born, VERY happy it's gone :bd: :redface:
-
Greenslw - hehehe, lurking is ALOT easier than posting! very tired at the moment as getting up all through the night to go to the toilet as bubs keeps pushing on my bladder! Got my 30 week appoint with Ob on Wednesday so looking forward to that.
Are you feeling more settled now and enjoying nbeing pregnant? Its lovely to see your ticker moving along, I remember when you got you BFP!
-
Another lurker too,
i have been exhausted and very very sick :(
but in a way with every vomit theres a smile because when im sick i know its cause my itte one is in there :)
speaking of ms its been so bad and cant find any releif ive tried dry biscuits and toast but nothing works gah
ill stop complaing
mini woohoo- 7 WEEKS! WOO no blood or cramping or emergency us go bubs go!
-
Lauren22 - Yay for 7 weeks! Try eating donuts (hot, cinamon ones are the best) I found because they are heavy they went straight to my gut and never came up again, I did worry about doing this often but then thought, "hey its the only things that's staying down and its not forever!"
-
Erybery: I am way more settled into pg life, still can't believe it in some ways. 30 weeks wow, you must really notice your bump. I can't wait for a real one not just a little one I and DP only notice.
Lauren minties worked for me. Congrats on 7 weeks
Only one little sook this morning DP crashed on me last night no :bd: I'm feeling a little unsatisfied but I'll corner him tonight ;) funny how in the begining I was saying no cos of MS now he's falling asleep. Can't win some days.
So pretty outside today have a good one all.
-
Hi ladies!
lauren - Congrats on hitting 7 weeks! I found that the only things that helped my m/s were carbohydrate filled foods like hot chips (top of my list LOL), bread, potato and pasta. And Maccas Filet-O-Fish were good too LOL My DD got to know Maccas and KFC way too well during my first tri :redface: But you do what you have to, better than being able to eat nothing at all. Try not to stress about it too much, take a multivitamin and like erybery said its not forever. You can make up for it when the m/s eases. :hug: though I know its no fun, even whilst it is reassuring!
greenslw - Thanks, have been getting plenty of back rubs from DH to help these sore muscles. A hot pack is my best friend too LOL Yay for cooking dinner and dessert, will have to drag my sorry bottom up off the lounge tonight and do the same! DH has done most of the cooking over the weekend, God love him, because I have been too sore to move much. I know how you feel about the tummy sleeping too, I'm a tummy sleeper from way back and miss it so much! Can't wait till I've had bub and can sleep on it again.
josh'smum - Hi and welcome :) All the best for the next 8 months or so.
zstar - Sorry to hear you are so sick :hug: Hope you are feeling a bit better today and that it gets a little better for you soon.
WTH - Hope DD is feeling better this week :hug: Poor little thing its no fun for them being sick :( Sending you and DH heaps of antisickness vibes too. Yay for being able to eat more choccies!!
Hi to everyone else that I've missed :hello:
AFM, back from the ob today and looks like things will be happening soon - yay! We talked about induction and he had to do a VE to decide the best way to go, and my cervix is effaced and 1cm dilated already :dance: So I'm booked in for the gel on Friday afternoon if I don't go into labour in the meantime. My ob's exact words were "If I was a betting man, I'd bet you won't get that far" so here's hoping he's right. On a bad note though, I'm still coughing and have a sore back - blah, I wish it would get lost!
-
Megsmum - OMG how exciting. Just wanted to pop in and wish you all the very best. Amazing to think to you will be meeting your little one very soon. Good luck sweetie
-
Meredith - How you doin? Been thinking of you, especially as you have now well and truly surpassed your initial goal of 28 weeks :D I imagine you are now taking the steroids you spoke of to help Upsy Daisy's lungs get a head-start. I don't know much about the treatment and hope it is not giving you any further unpleasant side effects on top of the predisinone, etc.
Megsmum - well, well, well - looks like your little girl is ready to make her much anticipated entrance. I am SO EXCITED for you :dance: Keep me posted... xx
Babymiracles - always lovely to have your drop in and to see your growing ticker
Buliej - :hello: ('cause I know you're lurkin'...;))
Greenslw - bit of a shame about DP snoozin' when you could be :bd: There was a stage in my second trimester when my good-lovin' hormones suddenly went on overdrive. DH NEVER looked so attractive!
Josh'smum - :welcome: and congratulations on your PG. Like you, we had a the "ideal" age difference between my first and second PG, and we also lost that one after 13 weeks. Totally understand your aprehension about shouting your PG from the rooftops. We waited until my "bump" was super-obvious before sharing, even with our parents.
lauren - wow - your MS sounds pretty full-on. What ever you do, make sure you are keeping down water as dehydration is not good for you or your bubba. I have read that ginger is good for MS, but did not try it. Bananas worked for me...
zstar - hope your MS has eased since your last post. Mine was a lot like your's - severe nausea, but I think I was only sick twice.
AFM - DD is doing much better now, but DH managed to come down with something very yucky from Friday night onwards. So I got to play nurse all weekend. Meanwhile I am still doing OK. Did manage my first calf cramp early Saturday morning and OMG :jawdrop: do they freakin' HURT! Hobbled around for the rest of the weekend, but that did not stop me from hitting the shops on Saturday to buy my first items for this bubba. Damn it felt good, and I did not hold back. In fact, I went out and did it all again on Sunday. There is just no stopping me now... :ROFL:
-
Hi All,
Thought I would pop in quickly before getting in with other things
Megsmum - how exciting your bub is soooo close - can't wait to hear how it all goes
WTH - aaahhh shopping I have only justed started buying a few things myself.
Welcome to all the newbies - you will find the support wonderful
AFM - all moved in now - saw the ob on Friday and have been advised to slow down as my BP is increasing with each visit. Have to see him again in 2 weeks to check again. Ob has suggested that DH looks after me know although DH thinks I am making it up :lol::lol:
Baby furniture should arrive this week - will be nice to start setting up the room
14 working days to go woot woot woot ..... so excited to be finishing work!!
Anyhow speak soon
-
Hi lovely pregnant ladies, just stopping in to send you my best, and i am glad to see things are going well

hi everyone
megsmum....looks like you are next. so exciting!!! all the best:D
joshsmum.....:welcome:great to see you here. have been wondering when you were going to come over. i always go in and lurk to see what the girls are doing on ttc thread. can't wait to see more of them over here
lauren22 - congrats on 7 weeks! i hope your ms gets better. i too smile when i'm sick (well some times and on the inside). my nathrapath screamed through the phone when i called to complain about ms saying i have waited soooo long for it and to rejoice in it! rejoice i am but i also need help!:pray:
wth - go the shopping!
erybery - i remember looking at your ticker and it was 28 weeks now its 30. far out. time is flying!
afm - ob gave me a script yesterday for zofran 4mg wafer for my ms. it was starting to affect my ability to do my job. far out, $85 for 10 wafers. i am hoping to get away with only using them 4 days a week. have taken 1 half an hour ago and feeling better. my girlfriend said they will make me feel 'normal'. looking forward to that. i have my full bloods done on thursday. apart from that, all is great. i feel so bad to complain about ms when we have fought long and hard to get this far and there are so many still not pg. anyway, blah blah blah thats all from me for now.
take care ladies
-
Thanks ladies :grouphug:
Still waiting for some signs of action......I wish she would hurry up!!
-
Just had to pop in and send megsmum some labour vibes for this week!! How exciting - hope it all goes well and can't wait to see the BA!
A special hello to WTH - I am so so so happy to hear the relief and excitement in your posts. Now go buy some more STUFF (hehehehe)
xx
-
HELLO ladies. Has been AGES since I last posted - just to many things going on but have been thinking of you all
Megsmum - Darn little girl of yours - very stubborn it seems! Hoping you get some action any day now. So sorry about all your colds/coughs etc. The last thing you need when going into labour is to be exhausted and sore. Is there anything much you can take for cough whilst pg?
Tam - beltaed congrats of the birth of your precious little one
WTH - Thanks for thinking of me! Good to see you are tracking alomg well to - we are on the home stretch now! Hope DD feeling better
Yay at your shopping trip. I am bit the same although only just easing into it. Begging to realise I have not prepared anything for another baby and if she comes early, I will be in a bit of strife!
Greenslw - sounds like you have a great boss. I hope things work out ok with your co-workers. Do any of them know yet?
Zstar - agggh.... m/s. I kind of forget how bad it was back in the early days. Lost about 4kgs in a short few weeks myself. Good that you at least have the zofran to make life more bearable
Lauren - Congrats on reaching 7weeks with no dramas - that is a BIG achievement! Eeek at the m/s. Hope it doesn't last to long for you
Easha - how exciting being in new home with new nursery to set up and only 2 weeks left of work!
Take the time t enjoy it all darl!
Welcome all the newbies - sorry will get to know you all soon
AFM - Yep, 29weeks and still going... YAY! Did the steroids 2 weeks ago. 2 shoys in the butt 24hrs apart... ouch they really hurt and blah did they make me feel yuk for several days after!
Feeling ok now although intermittent nausea and dizzieness I think from the adalat ( anticontraction meds). Also can't seem to eat much as bubs taking up to much room and I get breathless with a full stomach... not really complaining if she is growing though.
Still lots of movement which is good too!
Went for 4d scan on saturday but typical of everything in this pg.... didn't go well.
Upsy was in the strangest position the sonogrpaher had seen with her head all crunched up against her chest... no chance of getting any face shots. We were all really diapointted but going to try again next week and pray that she has moved a bit. Sonographer said she already looked cramped in there cos I am very small so hope she can move herself out of there soon... not just for piccies but so she can actually make it out the au natural route!
Oh and thanks to you ladies, got up the courage to book appt to seriously look at wigs this w/e. Seems I may be able to get some $$$ rebated given I have a medical issue.
-
Just popping in to quickly to say Goodluck Megsmum, I hope your little girl decides to come before Friday, if not all the best for Friday :D
Meredith - wow look at your ticker cruising along :D
Hello to everyone else, I don`t have much time for the internet atm, mainly just pop in and out of FB.
-
zstar - Hope the MS is getting better. You are not alone on that front. I have been suffering from the MS since week 5 and its still ongoing. I just keep reminding myself its for the greater good and it reminds me that things are all ok with our little one. I am even vomiting at work now and it awful! I really look forward to sharing our journeys together. :p
Megsmum - How exciting that you will be holding your little girl anyday. Sending you lots of positive vibes and hope she is with you anyday.
Josh's Mum - welcome and big congratulations on the BFP! I also had a few cramps at the beginning and still experience them from time to time and have been assured its all normal. Relax and enjoy the pregnancy. I look forward to sharing our journeys together.
Lauren22 - congratulations on the 7weeks! I have been the same, nauseous, no appetite, vomiting but so agree with you. When you dont feel sick you start to worry and at the end of the day its all worth it. I found Salt & Vinegar crisps help a little bit. :dance:
greenslw - Hope your DP has come around :dance: I can't wait to get back in to it. I have been told no hanky panky until I pass 12 weeks to be safe.
Where theres hope - I say keep shopping! You have waited a long time for this so enjoy. :lol:
Anyone else I missed - I hope all your pregnancies are coming along nicely.
ATM - So very happy and relieved today. Had another ultrasound with my obs today and we saw our little one moving. Obs said little one is looking very healthy and good size. My first m/c was at 12 weeks to discover the heart stopped at 10 so feel so relieved. NT scan next Friday and having this scan today has made me relax so much more. Still feeling nauseous,tired, vomiting and peeing like there is no tomorrow. Can't wait till next Friday when we can finally tell our friends and family who will all be over the moon for us. thanks to you all for your encouraging words and support. It really means a lot. :clap:
