cherished - that's lazy in a good way It indicates a level of comfortableness (is that a word!) that we can nickname each other further than our already provided nicknames!! Good luck with your scan this afternoon and congrats on the RAK!
Me? I'm off for osteo and then lunch with some girlfriends and then after work this afternoon DH is doing my belly cast!! I'm really excited about that.
Sunbeam - hooray! Congratulations and welcome back! Sending you lots of sticky vibes!
HPL - I keep getting dull aces in my lower left side too. I had them so bad yesterday (along with a tiny bit of spotting) that I would have started freaking out had I not been throwing up all morning. Today thankfully everything has settled down. I think it's from the pressure of everything growing and stretching.
Smallfry - have fun doing your belly cast. I never had one BH with DS (well not one i could feel anyways) so I can't even imagine what they must be like.....why am I suddenly craving baked potato?
Cherished - glad to hear you are feeling sickly again (in the nicest way possible of course)
Bonhom - I live in a small town too so I know what it's like. All of our doctors work in one huge medical building and all scans are done over at the hospital. Here my doctor only wants to see me after scans/tests if the results are suspect. If everything is fine his nurse just calls to let me know all is well.
Milly - yay for passing your milestones!
Hi to everyone else that I've missed. There were a lot of posts to catch up on.
AFM - Just plodding along. I thought M/S had gone and tried to wean myself off my anti-nausea meds but it did not go well. I could not keep any food down yesterday and could barely get off the couch. Went back on them today and am feeling much better.
Had a bit of a scare yesterday with some tummy cramps and spotting but I think it may have been from throwing up so violently, as today all has settled down.
Thank you all for the lovely welcome back, i missed you.
Smallfryplus- I had very definite pains in one spot to and still get them from time to time so it will be very interesting at scan time to see it that is where bub is implanted.
Milly-I can totally understand that it must feel so good to pass those milestones I know I will feel the same just to get to 8 weeks will feel a relief.
Cherished- I hope today's scan is awesome.
Twin sister- I might be need to know more about these MS meds soon though the ginger beer is doing the trick at the moment. The fun bit is when I feel sick and starving at the same time!
Hi everyone else
AFM-I'm still pretty calm about things though i did wake in the night and could not get back to sleep for an hour with my head buzzing with baby thoughts. I have pg yoga tonight so that will help me relax even more, I love it we do heaps of meditation.
I had huge baked potato on monday night must be something in the air!!!
My friend had a dream last night that she drew a picture of my baby growing inside me and its aura was yellow going into purple. She had her little hands up under her chin. It sounded so beautiful.
Oh Bonham I'm devestated for you, I pray everything is ok
Sparkles great to see you, I posted you a big congratulations in our ttc thread but not sure if you got it, glad it's all going well
Possums you're too sweet dropping in on us How are things with you? Don't be afraid to give us an update!
Twin Sister if you have the time and need the exercise that I gueess running after DS would be ok but I'm so sorry it's such a pain, strap the little monkey in I say
Smallfryplus Yay for the cast
AFM I didn't vomit this morning, I think it was because I ate some dry biscuts through out the night whenever I woke up and than 1st thing in the morning before geting out of bed, hopefully it will last all day. I'm going to pic up a dics witih images from our scan yesterday which the lovely sonographer was going to do up for us after she finished work. Talk about spreading the love, it's so kind of her!
twinsis - my beautiful sister the artist has volunteered her services to paint the belly cast for me. At this point we haven't discussed details but I do want DD1 & 2 to at the very least put a handprint each on it so will work around it with them. Once it dries we'll give it a gentle sand to smooth it out a bit and then see how we develop things from there.
I say go the kid-leash! My sis is dying to buy one for Jellysprog. She says that when mum put one on her when she was little it made her feel incredibly secure.
possums - thanks for the hello, hope you get the all clear to ttc very soon!
sparkles - congratulations! Keep those stress bunny's away, it's hard, but you can do it!! sticky vibes to you and your little bub
bonham - is it possible that your dates are out? I got pulled back 9 days with this preg once they did a scan. My LMP said that I was due on Valentine's day but when they scanned, they said 23rd Feb, 9 days later. I still disagree with the date because I'm sure I didn't ovulate that late in my cycle but according to all the scans, I must have. I hope you were able to talk to your doc this afternoon and have some peace about what is happening
cherished - yay for not upchucking! The dry biscuits all through the night would be an excellent way to reduce ms. Sounds like you have a pretty good sonographer there! Nothing quite like a cd of the scan images. We have a couple of ours too, it was good because we were able to share it with DH's parents who are interstate, sent them a copy of both scans we had.
AFM - trying so hard to be patient but it's so difficult when DH is so excited about the baby arriving. He's always talking about it. Very sweet This one is his first and he can't wait for her to be outside where he can cuddle her.
Just wanted to update you all on whats going on with me:
my dr finally rang me at 10.17am today and he said that it appears i'm not as far along as we both thought i was, he's going to leave a blood test form at the front desk for me to have done at the hospital and then have another blood test Friday next week, he's also going to leave an ultrasound form as well that i'm to have done in 7-10days.
He said so far things seem on track and its just too early to pick up and he wants to check my HCG levels to see whether they are are rising or falling which we all know its good if they are rising because it means we're headed in the right direction BUT if they are falling.....................then you know what that means.
At this point my dates appear to be out and i just ovulated later than i thought.
Thankyou for the continued support at this time and for thinking positive when i wasnt sure i could, i appreciate everyones kind words & 's
bonham - that's great news hon! It's easy to be out on days. I was charting religiously and was still way out on mine so you're still in with a very strong chance. Good luck with the blood test and make sure you keep us up to date with how things are going for you xox
My scan was unbelievable!!! We saw much more than I thought was possible, the little spine, a strong heartbeat 176bpm! measuring the right size etc bubs even moved around a little bit and my heart just melted It really feels like I am having a bub now! And to make this day even more wonderful I logged this morning to find that I've been RAK'ed twice If you are in this thread thank you so much for a warm and fuzzy feeling that has filled my heart with so much love and gratitude
glad to see the love is spreading with baked potatoes!! hehehe
cherished - awesome scan results there! You sound like you've just won lotto! Good to see!
twinsis - great to see your update. Scary with the spotting but it's really encouraging to have stopped and yeah, probably is due to the ms. Hope that subsides for you!
sunbeam - a great ms med is blackmores morning sickness vitB and ginger tablets. Hope it kicks in for you soon!!
bonham, looking forward to hearing about your scan.
Bonham08 - sweetie big hugs.... you are stronger than you know.
TwinSis - sorry to hear about the ms. My GF's ob reckons the sicker the better, so maybe that's something? what meds are you on? has the weather warmed up yet for you?
Subeam - good to see you in here! And that you are have a sense of calm at the moment. Hope those levels go through the roof.
Cherished - reading your post about your scan is exactly what I needed to hear - the pure excitment in your post is something I needed today - so thanks for sharing.
To everyone else, I am feeling a bit too self absorbed today to really say too much and give many persies. I enjoy reading your posts. Milly and the others approaching their milestones, good luck. It does help with your confidence to reach them. H&H g to you all.
AFM - Yesterday arvo I thought I was going to rejoin TTCAMCAL, as I had bleeding and passed some clots, one of which was a fair size. I was convinced I was having a m/c, as I have never had bleeding this early before, and not with clots, and any bleeding I have had has always lead to mc. I rang my ob and made an urgent appointment for me to come in yesterday arvo. Anyway, much to my surprise and delight I got some news I didn't expect - bubs was ok, the heartbeat was good and everything else looked ok. It was such a relief. I am at home now for a few days as the ob said it was better to take it easy. I was feeling quite positive after the appointment and this morning, and thankful that in this moment right now I am pg and it appears healthy No guarantees especially with my history, but I had found some peace. This afternoon.... not so much. No more bleeding, or if there is its brown old stuff and there is very little of it. It's probably just very light spotting. But I just have a very real sense of foreboding and I am frightened and there is nothing I can do. I know what will be will be, I am just frightened. And because this blip has occurred a different time to previously, and given it is so early in the pregnancy 7 weeks today, the odds are not in my favour. I am normally a pretty positive person but this afternoon, geez, this is hard stuff. Despite my best efforts I keep remembering what it was like when I miscarried most recent twin pregnancy, with Nicholas at 14 weeks and Sophie 4-5 weeks later at 19 weeks. it's pretty hard not to feel sorry for myself and not to be hypersensitive and hyper vigilant to any twinges, changes in my MS, which there has been some.... anyway.......
There are some positives. And for those of you who know me from elsewhere, I feel so blessed to have my ob. He and his staff always make time for me. Always. It's nice to have confidence in your ob and to actually respect them as a person. I am just on the edge of a very dark place and I don't want to fall into it right now.
I feel like a baked potato too - thanks small fry plus.No really, thankyou what a good idea and what good comfort food.
I have been MIA lately as I have come to the big smoke for work so I don't have access to a computer (except at work and I don't want to get busted).
Cherished - It is great to hear all of your encouraging news - so excited for you and your sticky bean.
Bonham - take your time to process your news - one day at a time.
Sunbeam - great to see you back here so quickly for a sticky one this time - funny I do things like not creating a ticker too early so I don't jinx myself!
Dory - so glad you are still with us! - everyday is another one closer to the magic safe mark!
Twin sis - m/s sucks - take the meds if you have to (better then pucking all day!)
ATM - I have my viabiltiy scan tomorrow at 8:30am and I am stressed to the max about getting more bad news (last time we found out there was no baby at the 12w scan). I am really hoping to see a heatbeat - fingers crossed! Not sleeping very well and busy at work - going on holidays for about 10days tomorrow so I am really hoping for a positive scan so I can enjoy it. Ms comes and goes but I am yet to spew so it's not that bad.
