Alish-no way would i have a c section by choice i have had 4 natural births but i have had grade 4 placenta previa this time since very early in the pregnancy and the last scan at 24 weeks it was still covering the cervix so this next scan will check so see if it has moved but my OB said very unlikely so expect a c section.
There is more risks having a c section but i will do what ever it takes to get my girl here safe and sound.
Kit-thanks for the info i hope mine goes as smooth as yours.
I dont want to jump in but yes make sure you keep up on your pain meds .
S@S i hope and pray that everything is okay
Honor is doing wonderful had a ruff night with her but everything is great. I still keep looking at her and have a hard time believing that she is really here. When my Water broke on sunday i kept talking myself out that it was true that it was actually happeing
angelfish - glad everything is going well, just love the name honor! so gorgeous!
ferrals - oh ok! well fingers crossed for a quick recovery then! alot of people who ive spoken too prefer a c section to a natural birth, i have no idea about either but i reckon theyd both hurt :P the end result is all that matters though!
Ferrals, thanks for your wishes. I'm 23 weeks along now. Which is very exciting and further than I've ever progressed before. So far things have been smooth. Afer M/S until 16 weeks I actually feel pretty good. I'm sorry to hear of your situation; your bub will be such a relief. I have my fingers crossed for you that your girl's birth will be exactly how you want it. Thank you for thinking of me when you have so much on your own plate.
Angelfish, congratulations! such wonderful news and a lovely name for your little girl. I hope you are having a nice time with her.
S&S, sending you the very best wishes.
Dory, hi. thanks too for your message. my due date is 1 June, I'll try to get to your list to add myself soon. Hope you and your little lady are well.
India's Mum, hope you're here for good. good luck.
Forshelby, good luck on the finance front, hope you can sort something out so you can relax!
to everyone else, big hello. I hope things are going well for you.

: because I can't spell !
Sunshine-waiting to see how you got on and hope all is ok.
Mildez-me to me to i am wondering how we will cope after my annual leave runs out on the 14th of march before the maternity payment starts i have applied to cash in my long service which is about $1800 just to cover things until little miss shows up and the maternity payment starts but i still havnt had a reply to see if it is approved or not and it is even more of a worry now that DH cant find work.
Kmm-woohooo 23 weeks that is awsome i bet you are feeling a little more relaxed the further you get.
And thanks i hope my girls birth is smooth and a good experience even if i have a c section.
Tegam-yep just about another 3 days and i have hit the safety gestation if this placenta causes a problem and she has to be delivered early i know she will be fine.
Alish-you are right the end result is what it is all about i just want her here safe i am still scared of waking one day to no movement and being told she is gone that is my worst fear right now.
its such a scary time isnt it, alot of people seem to think if you get past the first trimester its all good! but its just as worrying, if anything its more worrying!! but everything will be fine, being scared is normal
Sunshine and stars: thinking of you and hoping all is well
India's mum: Hope that you get some good news this week.
Ferrals: Nearly 32 weeks! Yay! Hope you get some relief to your financial worries soon. That sort of worry must be really tough. I also hope you get good news on your scan this week (and your son too on his).
Forshelby: Can't believe you are the pregnantest person here!!! I hope you also get some cash flowing soon to ease your mind.
Mildez: Ditto: hope the money fairy pays you a visit. (Wish there was one).
Reet: Just saying hi!
Tegam: Did you take that photo of Molly yourself or did you have professional ones taken. Very sweet!
Alish and Damprye: How's the nausea?
Kellbell: Hope all is well. 3rd trimester now?
Dory: Hope MRI goes well. Is that tomorrow?
Clairesmummy: Enjoy seeing the flicker on your dating scan!
Kmm: COngrats on 23 weeks!
Angelfish and Kitfaerie: Happy baby snuggles!
AFM: 10 weeks. The weeks feel they are passing so slowly. Saw OB on Friday. All good. Baby clearly growing nicely and heart thumping away. I don't think i'll start to feel like i can think of myself as pregnant though until I get past 12 weeks with good news on that scan. Still scared this is going to get taken away from me at the last minute. (Not that 12 wks is the last minute exactly but it's the last minute of the first stage anyhow. The point at which we will tell people about it). Just counting the days...
hey possum, nausea is ok, i just eat little snacks through the day, nothing i cant handle been more tired than anything at the moment.
yes the weeks are passing so slowly arent they! my next scan isnt until 11th feb so im hanging for that to come! glad ur scan went well
S&S still thinking of you and praying everything is perfect with you and bubs.
Possum magic woohoo on being 1/4th of the way there and so close to the 12week mark. Hope the next 2weeks flies by. Are you having the NT scan or a 12week scan?
Alish hope the 11th comes soon so you can see your bub again.
Sounds like a few of us are worrying about money. I really need to work 7-8days a fortnight allowing to save for bills like rates, insurance, school fees, swimming and music lessons for the girls etc but my body is going to the pack. I'm so slow at work and waddling around feeling sore and just wondering how I am physically going to catch a baby (as a middy) I haven't had to for a fortnight but thats just been luck and now I don't know how I will do it especially for another 8weeks. My legs are massive with fat and odema but if I start maternity leave any earlier I can't afford my bills and DH wages go all into our morgage and electricity. Then I'm not eligable for family tax benefit as ex maintanence cuts that out (I've received a large amount of arrears this year after 9yrs of him not paying a cent) it was easier getting nothing from him as now I miss out on all my entitlements. Arrr I guess we will survive and I'll return to work later this year anyway.
Ferrals I hope your scan is great and your son gets good news.
Forshelby yeehaa on been the most pregnantist. I wouldn't mind your title at the moment lol. Means your the closest of us still pregnant to meeting your darling little baby unless some sneaky lady and bub wants to bump up the que.
Almost 30weeks for me woohoo. Almost 3/4th of the way there!
Thought I might sneak in here and hopefully stay under the radar. Ive tried to be quiet about this but I just cant, Im stressing to much and need somewhere that understands that.
For those who dont know me; Im Freya. Ive been in this thread quite a few times over the years and hopefully this will be the last (and hopefully for the full 10mths) stint.
My Dh and I have 3 boys, aged 4, 3 and nearly 2. I got a + Hpt on Friday which was a bit of a surprise. This will be my 8th pregnancy (3 successful pregnancy+4 miscarriages+hopefully this one sticks!). My last miscarriage was in October, I ended up with a d&c. It really hit me hard. my last m/c before that was pre-second kid so I guess I thought I was past all of this uncertainty and what not.
3 weeks time I will have a viability scan and hopefully get good news, then I can relax a little and enjoy the pregnancy.
Hope you ladies don't mind if i join in here.
I had an early m/c last Nov & we found out that we are pregnant last Wednesday.
I've been stressing because my lines don't seem to getting a lot darker, I saw my Dr and he has reassured me that there is 2 lines & sent me off for my blood tests, I get my results back Wednesday.
I hoping that everything will be fine but i can't help but be nervous.
Sunshine & stars- Starting to worry now!! I hope u come on soon and tell us that everything is ok and ur little baby is still snug inside u. Thinking of you.
Clairesmummy- Good luck today!
Ferrals, Mildez and Forshelby- Im joining ur little money issues group! I am starting to FREAK! We have just got a $350,000 mortgage and bought me a new but old family car. The car was only $7000 but we were meant to do a bit of a trade with the friend we bought it off, he was meant to take DH's quad bike but decided not too so now we gotta find the money! We are having to borrow $2500 off MIL just to be able to pay him back, and then we are left with no savings, it sux! Desperatley trying to sell DH's quad now and everything would be fine but no1 seems to want to buy it! I really hope someone does soon FX! I HATE money problems!! I hope we all get thru it ok!
Mildez-Man o man u poor thing, do they try and give u light duties every shift?? It wld be a bit difficult being a midwife helping someone to deliver their baby, there wld be a lot of bending and stuff i imagine! I hope u get thru it alright, i bet ur counting down every single day!
Ferrals- Good luck with urs and ur sons scans this week. It will be good to finally know if ur going to have to have a ceasar or not.
Possum- Yay for everything going so well for u! Not long til u get to that lovely 12 week mark, it will make it a lot more real and exciting once u can start telling ppl.
Alish- Bring on the 11th! Those scans are just the best, so reassuring, the wait kills u tho hey! It feels like a lifetime!
Hi to everyone else! Hope everyone is well Kit and angelfish- hope ur enjoying ur beautiful little babies!
AFM- Baby had a huge weekend! Didnt stop moving the whole time, i find when i lay on my side it goes crazy! Poking all its little body parts out, I LOVE IT!
Pregnancy is just the BEST thing ever! I feel so lucky that its been so easy for me (so far anyway!) ive never vomited, i dont have any aches and pains, no swollen fingers or feet (i really thought i wld have had to take my wedding ring off by now but nope fingers are still the same!) Ive had no cravings whatsoever, only just put on 5kgs.. hmmm everything just seems too easy! I hope it continues on like this! As much as i cant wait to meet this beautiful little baby, Im so glad that its a looong 40 weeks, i think i will really miss being pg once im not anymore!
Im also loving our new little man (puppy), i fall more in love with him everyday, i still have outbursts of sobbing tears over our little Nala girl but our little Yogi Bear has definitely eased that pain. Hes just so adorable. Funniest thing was he slept in our bed for the first month everynight, and then like a week ago we thought we better see how he goes out with our other girl Heidi, we expected him to cry all night until we let him back into our room, but nope! No crying at all, I think he actually loved it! Haha i can just imagine what we are going to be like with our own baby.. hopeless!
Anyway i better jump off, im gonna go and try and find some motivation to start scrubbing and painting walls! Wish me luck!
