I'm still around & i've been reading everything
Will start posting more once i see a HB, off for another scan tomorrow so fx i can see beautiful little Hb then.
Ferrals no I didn't see you ask. I just went to the old thread and still couldn't see it. Just woken up so maybe its from sleepy eyes. Didin't finish work until 1am and gee am I struggling now. I'm still in bed. The computer never comes in to the bedroom but it has today. BBL when i'm awake.
Ferrals thats so funny as I just logged back in now I'm feeling a little more awake and still couldn't find it! Are you wanting to know how far away it has to be for a natural birth? If so I don't know. I'm also not working for a week so I can't ask the Ob. I can ask them when I return to work. I do remember caring for a woman with a low lying placenta who was trying for a natural birth (it must of been on the margin of is it to low or not) and she did birth vaginally although I was nervous about the blood loss. It wasn't much but it was fresh and started when she was about 3cm. Fortunately she birthed quickly with no problems but I do remember there was fresh bleeding when we usually don't see it. Probably only 100mls until birth. By memory it was a few cms from the internal os but I don't remember how many.
Possums - so glad all is well, i have PM'ed you back!
Dampyre - Thaanks for the PM xx
Cheshire - Good luck for tomorrows scan, praying there is a perfect strong beat x
alish - ive been waxing for a while so i dont get fased by it these days but i used to get very embarressed! Lying there, being told to spread my bum cheeks was mortifying! Thanmks god the lady i see these days, has a different technique! And good luck for your 12wk scan next week! I can really relate to your anxiety, i was very stressed leading up to it! Im sure all will be well, stay calm and in control xx
dory - Hello! How is the gorgeous Hannah Bear today?! Did i read that you were trying for number II soon? How exciting! xx
Ferrals - Yep i am amazed by how in love with our babe i am too! Its such a strong connection felt already! Bubs boots around when my dogs bark and when DH talks to my tum! So awesome! Have you finished work yet?
Mildez - How you doing lovey? Gosh you work some nasty hours! I would snoring in the corner by 9pm!
Murraycod - Any word from her anyone? Is her gorgeous girl here??
Tegam - How you going? Love the ticker pic! she is too cute!
Kit - How are you and baby Sammy?
Hi to everyone i have missed!
AFM- all good with me, having back pain etc and off to see a physio today so looking forward to hearing how i can help it a little! 10wks tomorrow till i start maternity leave!! yayayya! Not that im counting!
Forshelby-yeh finished sunday so i am a stay at home house mum until the end of july.
Isnt it cool when they move to noise on the outside.
Mildez-Yeh i did want to know but i will just wait until my OB decides whats best i bled pretty bad after my 2nd son i lost 400ml after he was born and then another 500ml a hour or so later i was on the boarder for a TF but didnt need it.
Just subscribing to the new thread I will catch u with you all when we come home. wish me luck with dealing with the outlaws for the week end, this will either kill me or make me stronger....lol...
Have a great week end everyone.
xox
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.
