T-Hopes I am good. I do some weird shifts don't I? The joys of been a casual and picking up as much as I can when DH is home. Its so much nicer for one of us to be at home with the kids all the time and unfortunately its me that picks up the cr-p hours. Oh well there are penalties for evenings and nights which helps. Woohoo on the 10weeks count down to mat leave. How did you get on with the physio? Hope they can provide you with some relief.
Well last night I was working in theatres and the anaethetist (who I've known for years through work) firstly told me he didn't know I was pregnant then went on to ask if I was doing my back stretches for an epidural lol. Now if I didn't know him I probably would be insulted. And I didn't know there was anything you can do to make an epidural easier to insert. I did say I wasn't planning on one (having had 2 before without it) Then I asked him if I could even have one with my nerve condition (I'd been told I couldn't) and he said he would definately give me one if I wanted it so it seems I can have an epidural afterall although I am not planning on it at this time its still nice to know its now an option.
Anyway yes I have been thinking of Murraycod. Hope she had a wonderful birth and everything is going suberb with her and her new little girl. If your out there Murraycod I am thinking of you!
Ferrals I had a large haemorrage with my first entirely unrelated to before birth and went of to theatre to be fixed up. The placenta wouldn't budge which is why I was at risk of the accreta in the first place and it was removed in theatre. Not pleasant and I was so pleased to avoid that 2nd time around. Its always more of a concern when its happened before.
S&S still thinking of you and your little Obie to. Hope he is going well.
MIldez - Gday! Went well at the physio - she said i have pelvic instability! I guess everyone would with a baby bouncing around in there! Anyway she worked on my hip and bum for a while and im feeling some relief, hopefully i will get some sleep tonight now! Thats great news that you have an option of epidural! Just good to have it as a back up! So has Murraycod had the baby?? Do we know?
Does anyone have morning sickness that comes and goes. I have been feeling really sick this past week and today around lunchtime it pretty much stopped. I only had MS with the last pregnancy and that stopped around the time the baby's heart stopped so it's making me very nervous.
Indiasmum - my nausea started at 7wks and was constant, all day! I had a meltdown when i woke up when i was 9wks and it had completely GONE! I freaked out! I was so upset that i rang my ob and he let me have a scan - needless to say bubby was fine! It stayed away for about 2days and then it came back again and stayed till 14wks! There were some other days in that time that i felt good but more vomit days than not!
Hope this helps, its such a stressful time, call your ob/midwife, that will put your mind at ease xx
It works so much better when I long in often enough to only do persies for three people at a time lol. Guess I have been too slack today but here goes.
India's Mum- Many people seem to have symptoms that come and go and every pregnancy is different. Sending sticky vibes your way though.
Mildez- It is always nice to know that we have optins
Clairesmummy- good luck lol.
T-hopes- Glad you have some relief.
Ferrals- Lol baby brain can play some pretty awesome tricks on us.
Cheshire- Hope you get to see the lil HB soon.
Alish- After my mc scare, I was never called back in to work. Hoorah on ms easing off
AFM- Feeling a lil jealous atm. My cousin who is due in August as welll, has just found out that she is expecting twins. The whole family are happy for her and celebrating her having numbers 3&4 yet they are completely opposite when it comes to me and my number two. It's like WTF, be supportive of both or none. I hate my WA family and cannot wait for my Nan to pass on so I can head over east, not that I want her dead, it's just that the only thing keeping me here is her. Maybe I should just move anyway... I would if I wasn't afraid that it would kill her *sigh*
Oh well, at least I have support from my over east family and I am happy that I am having number two.
dampyre - your family sounds very negative & you dont need that sh*t in your life!
im sick of work, i work with all men, they are worse than women! id quit but we cant afford it unless we sell the house
indias mum - my nausea comes and goes lately it just lasts for a couple of hours, rather then all day, some days im completely fine.
eh i woke up with a headache this morning i hate that!
my friend bought her baby around yesterday he is 4 months old, and sooooo gorgeous i love him so much! and he still has that gorgeous baby smell that i love!
Murrycod was due 2 weeks ago so she should of had the bub but it's possible she hasnt i sent her email last week and still no reply i will wait awhile and try again.
Mildez-I am feeling so much better now even if the placenta doesnt move anymore my risk of hemorrage should be lower as the placenta is off the cerix and more on the left just a few more cm's would be good.
Damprye-Dont worry about that side of the family when i was pregnant with Abbi no one in my family were real impressed as i already had 3 boys and it was my 2nd marriage all my sisters and brother (some step) all have 1 or 2 children and wont have anymore they all own houses and then there is me 2nd marriage and starting again and renting.
When everything started to go bad everyone was devastated that we were going to lose Abbi they all said you can try again you can have another baby and now they are all over the moon and so excited they wrap me in cotton wool as this little girl is so precious to them what a change i just thought it is great that they are so supportive now and love this bub even before she is here but at the end of the day it is my life my family and i am happy so i dont care what anyone else thinks or says if i want 4 kids i will and if i want 10 i will so they can just deal with it.
AFM-I have my OB appointment today so cross fingers good news from him on the placenta c section front.
dampyre boo to your family seeming more excited about your cousins babies not yours. I felt envious of a lady I know having twins. Everyone is so excited (its her 4th and 5th) and bending over backwards to help her. Thats all good but it pee'd me of that she was the ones having twins (she hardly has her older 3 youngest is only 12months old and in daycare full time) especially when she got pregnant with her 3rd well over a yr after I started trying for my third and now she is due to have another 2. Oh well call me the green eyed monster. I think it hurt as much as it did as now she will have 5 whilst I wanted the large family and am unlikely to have anymore now with the infertility and DH pulling the pin on our original plan.
Oh well enough doom and gloom Ferrals I hope you get excellent news about your placenta today and know how much it needs to move for a vag birth.
just a quick update....dad hasnt had a stroke or anything like that....so now its off to the nuro surgeon and see about dementia...hopefully he can take a tablet and hold it off for a little while......guess its kinda good news in a away.........
Back at home now as well and trying to sort through things with hubby....
Now its just waiting for the dreaded cs stuff and the idiot ex
Hope u ladies are well and good luck with all ur scans and pregnancies etc..
Just subscribing before I forget... nothing really happening here, exhausted and tired and oh so freaking sore in the pelvis... Hope everyone else is ok!
Dory - Just thinking about our chocolatey lunch has me drooling lol. It's so great to hear you're back on the POAS train... hehehe, that's excellent. It seems like so long ago I was dying to POAS myself. I still have all 4 of my BFP's lined up on the shelves in the bathroom, gathering dust. I used to look at them every day to remind myself I was pg... now I don't need reminding so much, lol. But I can't bear to part with them. Hoping you're UTD again really soon, and little Hannah can have an earthside sibling. Hmmm.... I won't deny it, your description of the newborn weeks being 'brutal' made me a little bit lol.
Angelfish - I know, getting really close now! It could be any old day now I hope Honor is doing better on her new formula.
Kellie - Whee! The countdown is definitely on at my house lol.
Kit - Wow, Sam is over a month old already?! It's a pity you aren't in brissie/gc, would be so nice to catch up.
Ferrals - I feel your pain, hun....... the heat is really making it hard to do anything. Come on, Ella, out you come! (cutest name ever btw)
India's Mum - Hehe, that's always the way, isn't it? Just when you think the coast is clear, you're hugging the toilet bowl again.
T-Hopes - Yum! Enjoy your chocolatey feast hehe. I miss maternity clothes shopping so much! I find now that I'm so big there just isn't any point in buying any more clothes to wear for a couple of weeks.... I'm just cramming myself into my too tight shirts LOL. Oh and buying the baby gear.. so exciting. Now I'm just sitting here waiting for something to happen, DYING to use all my cute baby stuff. I need a little bum to put that powder on, dammit! LOL. Enjoy this time, I found it the best part of the whole pg.
Clairesmummy - I am so so sorry hun............ this just breaks my heart. I don't know what else to say... it's not fair! I so thought this was going to be your happily ever after. PM me anytime if you want to talk.
Reet - I feel like I might explode, not POP lol. Full term today, yes... pretty nerve wracking actually! My weird spots disappeared, so I don't know what it was all about. My next drs appt is tomorrow morning. I can't believe you mowed the bloody lawn at 30wks pg... LOL. Bad Reet, Bad! I've had the same thoughts, worrying now about whether bubby will be healthy etc. I think that's the thing though............ once they're born we aren't going to stop worrying. It'll just progress to something else. Like worrying about whether or not they ate their packed lunch at school, hehe. It's a mother's job to worry. Everything will be fine I'm sure. Surely there would be some sign on U/S that there might be an issue by this stage.. and man you've had a lot of U/S.... lol. Try not to worry too much.
Tegam - Well said, hun..... it's such an empty sinking feeling being given that kind of news.
Iona - Hi Hun, how are things going with you??
Melster - Good luck with your u/s!
Kellie - Enjoy the aircon at work today, hehehe.
AFM - Had a horrible night last night, this one is so long it belongs in the boo-hoo room. *sigh* f@#$% men.
Clairesmummy - ah my love, i am so truly sorry to hear of the loss of your little angel... it is a cruel world that we live in and it makes no sense as to why this happened to you and your family. Please look after that beautiful heart of yours and let yourself cry all you need to. It is such a gut wrenching time, sadly we have all been in similar situations and can understand some of the emotions you are going through, please know we are all here for you as you work through your grief. Take care darlin xx
