Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss ~ April 2011

Ferrals - The wind is the WORST! I agree about teaching them to sleep around regular household noises too... so important. I do catch myself whispering though if Axel has been particularly screamy and finally goes to sleep. When should I start tummy time? He spends a lot of time on MY tummy lol. I must say I'm dealing with the chucking pretty well. I always thought it would gross me right out, but it just doesn't bother me. I too keep a cloth nappy on hand lol. Thing is he didn't used to chuck at all, and now he's doing it most feeds, sometimes multiple times. Oh and you are so right about m/s. I used to refer to it as 'the all day hangover'. Ewww I don't miss that! Congrats on getting Ella to sleep in her own room! I dare not try to get Axel into his room...... plus it's cold and I don't want to drag my butt out of my room... lol. Last night I had everything I needed for nappy changes, his wind drops, the clock radio with music playing all night and a warm bottle on standby in my warmer bag. LOL. It made things easier being able to just roll over, pick up my little man and do everything I needed to without even standing up. Poor DP was banished to sleep on the spare mattress though lol. How many hours of solid sleep are you getting?

Damprye - I have spoken to the 'professionals' involved. They all came to see me during my hospital stay. Well most of them. But talking to them isn't going to solve anything. I need to take it further, so something is done about it. Policies need to be changed, especially when it comes to allowing any old joe blow to just wander into your room and badger you for the hot gossip. Disgraceful. I was recovering from major surgery, and a brush with death, and these idiots just wanted to chit chat. All in all though I'm feeling okay. I'm still angry about a few things, but mentally I feel strong and I'm not going to let this define me, or destroy me. My goal is just to make sure other women (especially first timers) don't have to go through what I did. I know I can't change what happened, but I feel so ripped off sometimes that everything I wanted for his birth was completely destroyed, and the following weeks after. Ok enough of my rambling... love the dinosaur ticker. I can't believe you're 22wks!

Cheezelmonster - Oh you poor thing. Gingernut biscuits helped me, I don't know if you've tried it.

Alish - LOL, after last week's hospital dramas I walked out of there saying to DP I was ready to go on a rampage :) They can't get anything right, even simple things. You'd think knowing what happened and how unimpressed I was with their 'service' that they'd be very careful not to stuff anything else up. Not saying I'm special or anything, but seriously..... do they really want to make the situation worse?? I'm already making a formal complaint. Geeez! I've had enough dodgy treatment, how about they send me some of the good doctors everyone else seems to be getting lol

Tegam - Good luck with the outlaws lol

Pash - Thanks :) I can't believe Axel is 5wks old tomorrow... crazy. Almost at the golden 6 week mark, yay! I have a sling, not a hugabub but it does help a lot. Sounds like some extreme travelling you're doing there.. I'm insanely jealous. I've never left the country so it sounds like you're having a real adventure!

Wannabemum - Oh yay, great news. :) This bubby will see the world!

AFM - Tireddddd!!!! Axel will hopefully be getting his final cast taken off today for his clubfoot. We have our FX that he doesn't need another one and can get his boots and bars fitted straight away. No surgery required, which is great because I didn't intend on letting them touch him and would have had to go to Brisbane. I also have an appointment to see the healthy hearing lady AGAIN today. She called to apologise and explain how last week's stuff up happened. She blamed the other staff and said she told them she would be back, and for them not to let me leave. Apparently I missed her by 5 minutes. Also she left all her stuff, lunchbag etc in her office, and the other ladies even looked in there and said 'no she's closed for the day and gone home'. Umm without her stuff? And without locking up? WTF. I swear they only employ idiots, and other idiots who blame the original idiots. LOL. I don't even have the energy to pretend to like them anymore. Call me a cranky pants but I'm just so over it. So, yet again I have to go up to the maternity ward. *shudder* It upsets me just walking those hallways. So many awful memories. :( Let's hope this is the last time. If they screw this up again I'm going to punch someone, I swear. Last time I used some choice language as I walked out of there..... :redface: Wish us luck!!

Sorry for not posting more ladies i've been reading just not posting.
I've had a rough couple of days, it was my 1st easter since my Mum passed away & it's also coming up 6 months since she passed away. It's really hitting me that she'll never meet this baby or watch the girls grow up. I'll never be able to give her one last hug etc... :(

One positive is i've been feeling those flutters more often now & i saw my OB today & Bambi has a nice strong HB :)
I can't believe i'm 17wks tomorrow! Seem to be going so fast i'm sure it drag on towards the end tho.

Forshelby- Wishing you luck on this trip lol, you need it. And yeah it is going so fast, I just want the next to weeks to hurry past as well so I can feel safe.

Chesire- :hug: She be keeping him safe.

WannabeMum- Congrats on the positive scan :)

Pash- Even with bub kicking around heaps and the ultrasounds, i still feel the same. I think it is the ultrasounds that actually make me believe that there is a baby in there.

Tegam- I hope their stay is short and not too troublesome.

Ferrals- Yays on bub going in her room. Now you can all sleep more peacefully :)

Cheezel- This pregnancy has been my worse ever for M/S. I keep a bucket next to my bed, next to my couch and another in my car lol. I hate it when I forget. Has gotten a bit better now but I'm also dealing with it a lot better. It gets easier to deal with :hug:

AFM- Come on 24weeks! With my leaky issue and then with bub being so quiet for a few days, I just want to get through the next two weeks already so that if anything else goes wrong, they can actually do something, like if I get a more serious leak next time. I know chances of something going wrong is little and I think I'll hit the 13th Sept, but JIC I want to know that they will at least try and help my baby, rather than treating it just as a fetus.

I hope everyone had a great Easter. Our time off was quiet but that was nice too. DD did an Easter egg hunt with her cousins but the next in age there on the day was 13 so they all let her get the eggs and she was stuffed to the brim by the end of the day.

Sadly more bleeding this weekend. Only the tiniest amount and obviously very old blood but it just fills me with dread. I broke down to DH last night and said I didn't think I could take the stress anymore. I'm not even half way and I can't cope. I feel like such a crap Mum to DD as all I want to do is lie very still in the bed so nothing goes wrong. I'm feeling some flutters which help to ease my mind but I can't be sure I am really feeling baby move just yet.

IM- You are the right gestation for those flutters to be baby :) I hope there is no more spotting for you. Mine cleared up around the 20week mark if that helps at all

Thanks Damprye, that's a big help to hear that. I know what you mean about getting to 24 weeks. They told me the same thing at the Emergency Room. Until I get to that stage there isn't really a lot they can do to help the baby.

I find myself wondering what the point of going in. There is the whole "better to be safe than sorry" but really what are they going to do if it is sorry? Trying to keep positive though cos bub is still alive and kicking :)

Forshelby-I put ella down at 8-8:30 and i go to bed at 9:30 she doesnt wake until 12:30 so i get 3 hours there then she is back in bed at 1am and wakes around 4:30 so another 3 or so hours there then she goes back to sleep until 7:30 so another 2 hours there i am getting about 8 hours but broken sleep and sometimes she will take a bit longer to fall back off to sleep so i have to get up and down a few times but i am sleeping better now she is in her own room all the little noises that use to wake me i can hardly hear and i hear ya on not wanting to get out of bed cause its cold but Ella is so noisey i had no choice.
Great to hear axels little feet are looking good and he wont need surgery.
Regarding the hospital drama i wont put in a complaint about my hospital as i have had exceptional treatment there with all 5 of my kids i have only had a problem with a midwife deleting Abbi's pictures after she was born and taken to westmead for her autopsy so i couldnt get any more and with Ella the specialist's who did my c section were awesome i could not fault one thing i was treated very carefully being a high risk it was just a human error with reading the handwriting of the doctors so i cant blame the hospital for a nurses poor judgement which led to my not being given pain relief i said i was not happy what if i had been given the wrong medication they need to write clearly or even print their notes not scribble so then there would be no miscomunication.
Anyway having a c section is just horrible i have hated the weeks of being sore and feeling really unattractive with a huge eyelid as i call it for a scar so i am glad ella was my last bub.

Cheshire-17 weeks almost halfway.

Damprye-22 weeks past the halfway mark it will go fast now.

India'smum-wow almost 17 weeks that is great this is a healthy bub i just have a feeling everything will be fine.

I was told when i was pregnant if any problems before 20 weeks go to emergency and if over 20 weeks go to maternity so i guess they do nothing before 20 weeks and try to save bub after 20 weeks.

Ferrals- You go to Maternity at 20 weeks so they can can put you on bed rest up there and also if it is too late, you will likely have to give birth. Until they are 24 weeks though, they will not do anything to sustain bubs life if it is born. :( Also you get a birth certificate over 20weeks.

Sorry, I know I forgotten heaps but please let me know details and I'll quickly add them... especially gender lol :)

India's mum - hugs sweetie - it is very hard being pregnant after loss and even harder when you're confronted with bleeding, even if it's old. Sweetie, I'd go in if you're worried. I know it's a hassle, but it just means that even if the news is heartbreaking, you can be assessed to make sure that your health is not at risk. Good work on the flutters! That is awesome.

Reet - OMG, holding my breath... sorry meant to finish this, but little fingers got to the keyboard first. Congratulations on the arrival of your darling precious girl! Well done and enjoy the babymoon.

Dampyre - heartbreakingly true..... you also get a death certificate after 20 weeks... :( That is the one bit of mail you don't really want to get. Do you remember when you had really bad m/s with with pregnancy?

Ferrals - OMG - you are getting so much sleep! I can't believe it. That is just so amazing. We had a rough night here last night, H was up every 2 hours and awake for 1 hour and 50 mins... so only 10 mins "sleeping". About 4am she had been asleep for maybe 30 mins but then did the most massive series of farts and then nappy explosion. No way could I leave her in that mess..... it was so loud it woke DH up. There has to be a funny moment in there somewhere. Is your fam over the gastro?

Forshelby - glad Axel doesn't need surgery! You are doing a great job as a mummy. I feel bad today - I was "reasoning" with a screaming baby, and then realised what I should do is just pick her up. Now? I am letting her watch tv.... it's keeping her quiet.... after 2 hours of screaming today, I just needed some quiet time. I feel so slack using the electronic babysitter... feels like a cop out. Actually she is more interested in the computer. Ah well.

Hannah is still sick - diarrhoea and it seems still some tummy pains ( aka last night's sleepless night and today's screaming). The pathology came back and no bacterial infection. Not sure what to do now. As both Dr's I've seen are not too worried. I guess just wait it out and see what happens and if it's still not better in a few days go back to the Dr? Hmm, for those of you who are mums to older ones, do you think teething causes diarrhoea? My mum says it does....

Anyway, I am thinking of you all with your precious little miracles being nutured with love.... give yourself a big belly rub from us.

ooooh - thank you for the list!! So great to see! Now I know where it all fits :D We'll probably be finding out, DH is adamant he wants to know, I don't. But the compromise is we find out but tell no one - you guys don't count though lol :rofl: unless you want to be in the dark, in which case I'll keep it to myself!

Dory- Yeah I remember how bad the m/s was lol. It was so bad I used to be on my phone to chat to you girls so I could spend most my time camped on the toilet floor LOL. I still have m/s but it fluctuates, I still have to keep those buckets on hand though :lol:

WannabeMum- Yes, yes, we want to know :p

AFM- I have an annoying cold but it is so funny when I sneeze cos Bubba goes bonkers every time haha, it's like I'm being told of for waking him/her up :bedtime:>:o>:protest:

Hiya everyone! Happy Easter and hope you all were able to have a restful break! We went away with all my family to the country. My sister has 20aches and a holiday place up in the bush so we were there for 4 days! Had such a nice time waddling around and watching all the kiddies ride their motor bikes and play with my dogs! Back to work and reality today! Boo! Ah well 2 days left of work and I am on maternity leave! Hooooray! So excited! Work is painful at the moment cause im training the new gal, she is nice but i find training so painful!!

Dampyre - WHy did you have to change for ticker? I dont understand?? And so great you did the EDD and Birth list! GULP - as i see im the most pregnantest in here at the moment! Holy cow!! Never thought i would see my name at the top of that list! Its a little surreal!! And our gender is a 'Surprise!' xx

Ferrals - Owwww beautiful Ella! She is so devine!!!

Reet - CONGRATULATIONS!!! So excited to read of the safe arrival of your baby girl! Sounds like you had a beautiful birth too, you deserve it darlin! Well done xx

Anyway sorry for the lack of persies but im absolutely shagged so im going to hit the hay! We finally start our birth classes tomorrow night! Cant wait!
Oh and I really feel like my tummy has dropped, a few ppl have commented on how low bub is now... yikes! Stay in there little darling!!

xx

T-Hopes- Just a few more weeks now :D can you remember when you were only 6/7weeks along? well that's what's left now :D

Hi girls finally have a minute to jump on here. We are home and happy - our jayden is a week old already
Our life certainly got busy with two kids. Ella had a hard time with me in hospital but is coming around to having a little brother. He is a beautiful baby feeds and sleeps great at the moment. Soooo in love with him i cant believe hes here and healthy
Reet hasnt named her baby girl yet i dont think
Better get some sleep while he sleeps
Belly rubs to everyone

Kellbell- Lol cool, means I didn't miss it :D Glad you are doing well and so are your babies :)

forshelby Poor lil bubba. Do you know whether the cast was painful or uncomfortable for Axel and maybe that was one of the reasons he's been unsettled? I'm glad he won't need surgery. Sucks that the maternity ward is a place of bad memories.

Cheshire :hug: I'm sorry for your loss. Each step of your pg, must be so hard missing your mum. x

Daympre Wow, 24 weeks. I am in awe, it seems so far away for me. I am sure you and bubba will be fine though. x

India's mum Any bleeding is scary, but it sounds like little kicks! Hooray! Hope you get loads more of those and the bleeding stops. x

Kellbell Congratulations! You sound so happy. It's lovely. x

AFM I have sore boobies!!! Only slightly sore, but yay!

Hi ladies! Thought I'd better pop in and let you know I'm still kickin'!
Welcome to the new ladies.. Congratulations to you all!

I'm 26 weeks tomorrow. I keep having mini panic attacks when I think of how soon August is! This pregnancy is going so fast! Hips are well and truly playing up and making life difficult, apart from that this pregnancy is a breeze.. Let's hope the baby is too! Hehe!

Congratulations to the new mummies too! Hope you're enjoying every second :)

Sorry about lack of persies, I only have my phone to reply on, but I'll try to keep up from now on!

X

Hi Pash and Stoked. Mind if I grab both of your due dates to add to the above list? Also do you know what you are having stoked? :) Good to see you are still around

No worries at all.. I'm due August 5th with another little boy :)

Stoked~ congrats on the lil boy i am so happy for you :)

hi ladies!

ferrals - poor little ella, lets hope she makes a speedy recovery xox

kell - good to hear from you :D

thopes - baby is just getting ready!

sorry to everyone ive missed, im finding it hard to keep up with this thread atm
i hope youre all well and i am thinking of you all :)

im off to book into the hospital today & try and get some maternity pants for work.. then off to the doctor this arvo
i have a heart murmor (which ive never mentioned before) and im getting very bad heart palpitations so im a bit worried that something is up (heart problems run in my mums side - my brother is going in for another heart op next week :( & my cousin had to be closely monitored through her pregnancy) i know it wont be a big deal but at least a doctor is aware & can help me if something is wrong!
and ive been getting nose bleeds every couple of days... annoying! and i think i hate a uti grr! stupid work! if there was a toilet handy i wouldnt worry about leaving work every half an hour!

have a nice day everyone :D xxx

Dampyre Am due 22 Dec :crossfingers:

Dampyre we wont be finding out Bambi gender so can you put m down as a surprise :D

alish, that sounds like you're not having a lot of fun at the moment - hopefully it's nothing to worry about, there are a lot of things that cause palpitations :crossfingers: I have a murmur too and had a heart op a number of years ago - I hope they can just monitor the risk factors for you during pg and it all settles. :hug:

And ok, you guys can be in the loop then :) At least then I can tell someone - I'm nervous about finding out, not just cos I really don't want to, but because I'm awful at keeping secrets! Mine anyway, I'm a lock box with other people's, but I don't do my own secrets!

Kellie - Yay, that's great news. Enjoy your babymoon!

Pash - I imagine it is uncomfortable for him, not being able to move his leg, though he can lift it and wow it packs a punch when he kicks me in the c/s wound. Ouch. Come to think of it, around the time the first cast went on was when the sleeping dramas kicked in. Hmmmm. Can't wait to get this whole thing over with even more now.

AFM - Sorry about the lack of quality persies... I'm wearing my cranky pants today and... well just grr. I'm sure you can all guess why. THE FRICKEN HOSPITAL STUFFED UP AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o I shouldn't be surprised anymore. It's getting so ridiculous. Some lady called me 5 minutes before our appointment time and said they'd forgotten to book us into the computer, and could I come tomorrow. UM, NO. DP took the afternoon off work to come with me, (as he always does) and we lose a lot of money doing this! It was bucketing down with rain, and we were in the car on our way there. I told the lady no, I was on my way and I would be seen today. She got flustered, but said ok and told me I "had" to be there within 30mins or it would have to be tomorrow. I told her no, it wouldn't be tomorrow and I would be there as soon as I could get through the traffic.

Anyhoo, after rushing to get there quickly because of their stuff up, we ended up waiting 2 hours to be seen anyway. I don't even know why they make appointments at all tbh. Then of course the Drs and nurses all want to fiddle around and play with Axel like he's a toy or something instead of just doing what they have to do quickly so I can go the fudge home. It was freezing as usual in the plaster room, and I was trying to wrap him in a blanket and cover him up during the long wait for the dr to come in (because we can't be organized and have the dr there, because his time is far too precious to be wasted, but I can wait for hours with a crying newborn.) So I'm trying to wrap my cold little bubby up and this stupid student nurse/dr or whoever the hell she was (they don't tell me or ask if it's ok to have students watch/perform treatments) decides she wants to play with his feet. I don't know why I didn't yell at her. I feel like I'm constantly on the edge, ready to explode at someone when I'm there, they're so stupid and unprofessional. HE'S COLD, LET ME WRAP HIM UP! *deep breaths*

After everyone had a good play/tickle and totally freaked Axel out, we were able to leave. Of course they took their sweet time treating him, and then wasted more of my time playing with him and getting him riled up. I had to feed him as soon as we got out of there because they took so long, then didn't have time to burp him because our parking meter was about to run out. Yep, they took that frigging long. I walked out of there almost crying. I feel so violated every time I have to go there...... and totally powerless. I'm ready to scream at them, but then always stop myself because they're treating my baby and I'm afraid they won't treat him with care and kindness if I'm rude to them. Honestly though, I can only take so much. I get so depressed on a Wednesday afternoon after seeing them and being jerked around for hours. If I was a customer, and this was a shop, I just wouldn't go! It's the worst feeling being repeatedly forced to return to the scene of my near demise every single week. Then putting up with even more crap treatment. Just when I feel like I'm doing well and moving past everything, I have the weekly bring-down of dealing with them. And there's not a damn thing I can do about it right now. Until I lawyer up.

Sorry to carry on like a porkchop in here with another selfish rant............ but OMG. I don't know how much more I can tolerate before I go berserk and start screaming at hospital staff. What is it about me that causes them to make stupid mistakes? I can't walk in there without them stuffing something up. The disorganization is mind boggling, and this whole ordeal is really pushing me to my limits. Something has to be done about this. I want to speak to whoever's running the show because they're clearly asleep at the wheel. What do I do??! So at the end of all this, Axel's routine is completely stuffed up. He's an hour late for his feed, screaming, kicking, breath-holding.... the whole shebang. He spent the entire night carrying on, barely slept, and was completely unsettled. I don't blame him. Stupid hospital. I'm sick to death of them affecting our lives this way. They don't care that I have to go home dead tired and deal with a screaming baby all night long. They don't care that I haven't had a decent rest in 8 weeks. (No, being drugged out of my mind or in an induced coma doesn't count as rest, doctor!) I just want to run away and hide somewhere.

Oh and as a sidenote, Axel was meant to have his hearing test done AGAIN yesterday, but of course the orthopedic dept took so long that I missed my appointment time. How crazy is it that you book appointments an hour and a half apart and still can't make it? Excuse me while I return to the corner to rock back and forth mental patient style. :cry:

Oh forshelby! :hug::hug::hug::hug: You have had the rough end of the stick in a major sort of way!!! You ARE allowed to be a protective Mum and look after your little boy when you're there, they will still treat him the way they would if you just put up with the treatment. You have the right to refuse students if you don't want them, they do have to learn, but they should ask your permission to be present, even if their instructors don't. You have rights and responsibilities as a patient - and these don't include being treated poorly. Your rights include being treated with respect. Do you have a doctor who's actually looking after you, rather than just treating you? Maybe your GP? If you do, get him/her to call an administrator and outline your treatment and that s/he expects your next appointments to go much more smoothly, they CAN do your hearing test at home, and I think you're up to the point that you should be able to demand that! At least they can in Vic.

Oh you poor thing - there should be SOMEONE there who wants to be your advocate! If I was in the right state I'd call. I work for the Department of Health, it's a good work location to get attention from the powers that be :rofl: In the meantime, if there is a good friend you can trust to take Axel even for half an hour, let them. Or if you can get a little bit of quiet time from Axel, check out the mums and bubs movie sessions. It's a nice way to feel a little more normal. More :hug: for you.

Stoked- Woohoo one of the few boys being dropped off by the stalk lately lol

Alish- I hope all goes well today and that your work fixes the loos soon.

Pash- :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: Will you be finding out or another surprise?

Cheshire- Yays, another surprise :D

WannabeMum- Lol I am the same hey. I could take other peoples secrets to the grave but I couldn't even hide my pregnancy, told everyone straight away lol.

Forshelby- :hug: Rant all you want hun, you need to get it out as much as they need to get their act together and learn how to run a hospital.

AFM- I really need to get DS to a friends house or something so I can rest today. Tried to clean this morning as well but can't do either of those things cos every time I move :sick: So looks like another day of laying on the couch. Maybe I can call someone to come pick him up...

Damprye-I know we missed out on Abbi's birth certificate by 2 days she was 19 weeks 5 days. And did you check out that site where Ella got her teddy bear from?

T-Hopes- oooh not long now enjoy the birth classes.

Kellbell-the 1st 2 weeks are the best sleepy little cherubs.

Stoked-relax and enjoy it will fly by in no time then you will miss being pregnant.

AFM-Ella is off to the doctors to see if she has silent reflux she just seems in pain all the time and these are all her symptoms and when you google it she has a lot of what is on the list.

Fussy feeding
arching back and neck and screaming every feed
pulling off the bottle and crying
Gulping her bottle
Big weight gain from comfort feeding
constant hiccups
wet burps
unsettled when laying down flat (we have her bed tilted)
Watery spew
constant swallowing when laying down
Constant sucking
Hoarse voice
Seems uncomfortable
Wakes up during sleep for no reason
Parents intuition something is wrong

Forshelby :hug: i can't believe how much stress & drama that hospital is causing you. You can vent all you want & have you thought of seeing a hospital social worker they might be able to help more :hug:

Dampyre sorry your feeling so crummy today, i'm kid free today so i get to relax a little.
Hope your able to get some rest :hug:

Stoked - yay for a little blue bundle! You're so far along now! Yay for baby bumps?

Dampyre- I had that with H yesterday - we both felt miserable. I ended up doing nothing all morning, except laying beside her on the floor and shivering. But today I feel great. Hope you do too!

Forshelby - will the drama at that place never end? Hugs for you that it's all just so hard. Good for you for standing up for Axel and ensuring you got that appointment, even though they jipped you around. Seriously sweetie - in addition to your complaint to the hossy ( and I can look over it if you want, even if it's epic) I would recommend a complaint to your local member of parliament and the health minister. The hossy will absolutely wet themselves when they get a "ministerial" please explain.... it is a sad indictment on that hossy that you keep getting messed around. Hugs to sweet little Axel too.

Cheshire - how did you get kid free? Must have been so nice to relax.

T Hopes - ahh you now have the honour of being the most pregnantest!

Possum - look at you go.... how are you feeling? Pinching yourself for what each new day brings?

Alish - GL with your test. Sorry that you have heart worries, not what you need, but it seems it's just part of the mix in your fam.

Ferrals - hmm, hopefully you get some answers. It's hard when they are in such discomfort, hard for them and hard for you.

I can't remember who was going to PM Sunshine about how she and Obie are going.... did you and did you get a response? I don't want to bombard her with another PM yet.

AFM - I made the best batch of roast potatoes I have ever made last night. OMG, such wonderful comfort food. I'll have to make them again soon to see if it was just a once off. It's eluded me for a while, the perfect roastie. Such a sense of achievement to get a perfect batch out.

dory you can send me some roast taties anytime you like ;)

dr's went well.. they put me on an ecg and the murmour is benign! yay! the palpatations are just pregnancy related and he has given me breathing excersises to do.. they burnt off a skin tag on my belly & nipple (owwies :()
so theyre sending me for a blood test tomorrow just to check my thyroid is ok (also issues in the family) but im not worried about that, thats easy fixed if anything is wrong!

but before all that my hubby rings me and asks me to come & get the dog cuz his face is swollen.. he has another infection! one shot & some antibiotics later i walk out $75 lighter, plus $120 lighter from the dr's.. full tank of petrol $90.. turns out to be an expensive day! (plus i bought some baby singlets, maternity pants & dad's bday pressie) lucky i got paid this mornin!

ferrals - how did the dr's go with ella?

Cheshire - :hug:

Damprye - You poor thing! Yes I keep telling myself it will get better, one day at a time :D Fingers crossed the next couple of weeks flys by for you. Oh thanks for doing the list, my EDD is December 12th but that may change with tomorrows scan!

India's Mum - :hug:

Dory - I hope Hannah gets better asap poor poppet. I know friends of mine swear their little ones get bad nappies before teething. Yum I'd love some roast taties right now!

Kellbell - congrats darl!

Stoked - so glad to hear you're having a relatively cruisy pregnancy! Hope the hip pain eases up. Yay for blue bundle :D

Hi to anyone I missed. M/s is still giving me trouble. It was wonderful having DH around on the long weekend, I couldn't even get out of bed Tuesday. Today has been a bad day & Moo is going a bit stir crazy being home all the time. Scan tomorrow! I'm sooo scared & anxious about it. I don't even want to go! I keep thinking 'what if there is nothing there?' DH doesn't understand how all that happened last time is affecting me with this pregnancy. But it's hard to explain to him. I had 3 scans with my last pregnancy & each one was worst than the last...I can't imagine getting good news from a scan anymore.

Ferrals hope the Zantac hope Ella.

Dory DF's Aunty takes the kids every Thursday so i can catch up on housework & relax. It's so nice being able to enjoy a hot meal, shower & going to the toilet without a fight lol
I'm craving roast tatties now, one of DFs aunties made the best roast tatters last year they were cooked in butter & were so cripsy.

Alish glad everything is ok with you :)

CM :hug: i'm sure everything will be tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you.

Ferrals- I'm glad that you know what is going on and that you are now able to do something about it :)

Alish- Glad everything turned out well :)

Dory- Lol, I made an awesome roast pork and veggies the other night and am also attempting to replicate it. Was the first time I had ever successfully made pork crackle lol. I went and got some stuff from the chemist to take (that is safe when UTD) to see if I can get over this thing quickly, have also gotten rid of DS for the night and tomorrow morning to sleep it off lol. I hate being sick and will do just about anything to get rid of it quickly haha.

Cheshire- How are you and your family going atm?

AFM- So glad I don't have to worry about DS tonight. He was ripping the joint apart and I could barely do anything to stop him and he knew it. Hopefully I can get over this thing before tomorrow arvo so I can get all my housework done before picking him back up lol.

Alish - phew good news. Well done.

Cheezel - sending you lots of strength and love.... and give DH a cuff ver the head for being so dense.... how can what happened last time NOT affect you? pfff men, sometimes!

Damprye - hope the UTI clears up. I hear they are dreadful.

Anyway, better go and read a book to my wee poppett, whose nappies aren't any better yet. Sorry I am not so good at persies any more. Just because I don't mention you by name doesn't mean I am not thinking about you. Belly rubs my gorgeous pregnant mummas.

Dory- LOL I think it was Alish that said she has a UTI, just a clod/flu here, my pee is fine :p

Cheezel- Sorry I missed you. I hope your scan goes well tomorrow. :crossfingers: for you and lots of :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
