Greenslw - I'm very slow I know LOL but congrats on the arrival of Lincoln Enjoy your little man!
Cherished - My m/s was different with each pregnancy too Shocking with DD1, very little with my m/c and somewhere in between with DD2. It was also very on and off as well - freaked me out too! I'm sure everything is great with your bub, hope the scan goes well and yes get a doppler if that will help you
Hi everyone else and Karen, glad everything is going well with you
milly - really pleased to hear how well your scan went gives you that extra confidence to know that all will be well with this little bundle
bonham - welcome to the group and praying that you have a H&H pregnancy this time round and that all will be just perfect for you!
cherished - glad you're feeling ill again. I hope it keeps up for you!! lol seems weird every time I wish illness on someone in here but I completely understand the reasoning behind it!
tinar - I'm loving watching your ticker moving along. It's great everything is going so well for you!
megsmum & karen van good to see you in here too. Karen thanks for the info on aftercare. Been there twice but somehow find that I've forgotten all about that sort of thing!
AFM - saw my ob this morning. 37 weeks tomorrow. I had bloods taken again to check antiD and vitD and also had my antiD jab. Ob guesses baby's weight at 9lb2oz. When I told her how long my first two were (54 & 52 cm each) she said prob bub would weigh less and is mostly length but stuck by her weight guess anyway. Time will tell at any rate but it's always interesting to see how accurate the doc is! As always, loved to hear the heardbeat
Yesterday was our baby shower. My sis organised it and we made foam animals. Sis drew templates for us of different cartoon animals (she's very talented with drawing - unlike me!) and then we built them up out of different coloured foam and now I have to attach them to a mobile and have a pretty awesome baby mobile made by all my girlfriends! Pretty good fun had by all. Hubby hung around for it and I think he even had fun being here for it.
This week we're going to do the belly cast. I'm changing shape as baby is dropping so even though I'm getting bigger still, I'm figuring bub will either crack the cast or not look like a 'proper' preg belly! lol (I know, go figure how a MASSIVE belly could possibly not look like a proper preg belly!)
Off to do baked potatoes for dinner with coleslaw and garlic butter and cheese and sour cream and corn and avocado and and and... now I'm drooling!!!
Sunbeam - that's awesome news about your HCG.. hope you get to stay with us for another 30 more weeks
cherished1 : Good Luck with your scan hope it goes well
Hello to everyone else.. Sorry if I've missed ppl
Waiting for our first scan still, I can't get in to see anyone for another 2 weeks, it's so hard with my job and my DP late hours, I want him to be there with me....
Have to ask a question ladies, I keep getting really dull aches in my lower left side, my DP keeps saying it's the baby growing don't worry, but I'm me, and I can't help but over think things sometimes.. Have any of you experienced this? It feels like period pains but not as bad, nothing to make me worry normally expect for the fact that I'm pg...
Sunbeam - glad to see you posting in here again so soon! It's such an encouraging result. sticky vibes being sent by the truck load for you.
HPL -- lots of aches and pains associated with early preg in particular with your uterus settling in and starting to stretch. I had aches in a very specific spot on one side for weeks early on and was worried it might be something I didn't want it to be. In the end I concluded that it must be the site of implantation but I have no idea if that was correct or not! Count down to your scan! How exciting!! Shame you can't get it done sooner but I'm quite sure that the wait will be worth it!
Cherished - good luck with your scan tomorrow! Hehehe I just noticed your due date! I love it! 8 9 10 Not sure what I can say about getting a doppler. I've known a number of people who have gotten them, some it helped, some it didn't. Sometimes you can't find the heartbeat because of where the baby is lying, those were the times it seems to have been the most stressful.
sunny - hey I think you're next after me to drop your bundle! It seems weird to be waiting on my own birth now! Surely I'm not really next????!!
AFM today I made a last minute decision and side tracked myself in a chinese massage place. One reflexology massage and a million braxton hicks later, my feet feel so beautiful and I am a lot more relaxed. I saw posted somewhere that a reflexology massage set off BH in someone somewhere... I can vouch for that! I find myself wondering if there's a specific spot and if that spot would prompt labour... I feel a research project coming on for the evening.
My beautiful DD1&2 are both at a new school this week. DD2 just starting prep so two big girls at school now. It seems only yesterday that they were pushed out. DD1 worries that when I have this one I will get to see her less (I share custody). I had to reassure her that will absolutely not be the case but it did hurt that she's been given that idea somehow.
I stuffed myself senseless on baked potato this evening. Somehow it didn't happen last night and I ended up with crackers and cheese and a shocking case of indigestion. Tonight it absolutely had to happen and man, was so good I couldn't stop myself and now I'm so full I feel like I'm bursting!
milly - that is so good that you're through such major mental milestones. And I love the attitude towards it as well, keep it up xox Not long now and you'll be feeling movement inside!
My scan is tomorrow @2pm, i'm trying to think positive. My angel passed around 8weeks so between now and my 12week scan will be the hardest time for me.
Smallfry WOW 37 weeks ooh not long now, how exciting. Sounds like you had a great baby shower yesterday and i too am drroling at the sound of your dinner YUM!!
Tina glad to hear things are going well, hopefully the BH dont get too bad and you can start to get some more rest soon. Before you know it little zen will be here and you wont even get a chance to think about labour hehe.
Cherished glad to hear your feeling ill again (as yucky as it is). My ms isnt really bad but bad enough and just when i thought it was gone last week, its back again this week. The doppler sounds like a good idea, ive been thinking about getting one too as it would make me so much more relaxed. Good luck with your scan on wednesday.
Anyway better get going, off to work and not looking forward to it at all.
Take care
Well I'm back I got a BFP on friday last week but when my hcg came back at 19 I was scared it was another chem. pg like last month. Hcg was up to 40 yeaterday so it's doubling the way it should but I'm still too scared to get excited. Can't even get myself to put it on my signiture. I know I'm not going to feel secure in this or any pg until I'm quite far along given my history but my first milestone will be my 6 week scan. That seems so far even though its just a week and a half away!
Greenslw- Congratulations on your bouncing baby boy
Smallfryplus- so excited that there is going to be more baby news in just a few short weeks.
So glad to be back with all my other belly buddies.
OMG sunbeam that is amazing news!!! Congratulations
megsmum thanks for your reasuring words hon, todya I dry reached in teh morning so I'm feelin ghappier lol
Smallfryplus You are so close to having your bub! And you have got me droling over your dinner too heheh
eliselouise I'm not sure if I'll get a doppler now??? Apparently you really shouldnt' use them until after 12 weeks and I think I'll be pretty relaxed after the 12 week mark so I don't know????
Hi to everyone else
AFM I've got my 2nd scan tomorrow at 1pm and I simply can't wait!
