To hot for lots of persies just wanted to say OMG! reet i got goose bumps when i read your post i hope the school is safe i will have your family in my thoughts and prayers.
AFM-Well unfortunately the placenta has not budged one bit it is still a grade 4 placenta previa and no way can i have a natrual birth it completely covers the cervix.
I have to see the OB friday to discuss a date for c section but it will be before the 16th of march the OB wasnt to sure to let me get to 38 weeks he was looking at 37 weeks which will be about the 10th of march:o that is 5 weeks away.
Also we paid $225 for a 3D-4D scan to get some good pictures only for little miss to hide her face the whole time.
She wriggled and moved and kicked but had her face buried in the placenta with her hand over it so we did not get one picture i was so disapointed.
Oh! and she weighs 4 pounds her little head and belly are measuring 2 weeks behind but her other measurements are spot on 32 weeks so she is going to be a danty little girl by the looks of it.

Just butting in to the thread from Perth.....just wanted to wish all you girls over in Queensland all the best, stay safe everyone xx

Oh ferrals- how annoying about ur little girl not co-operating so u cld get some good 3d pics :( and sorry to hear that ur placenta hasnt moved, thats very frustrating too! But OMG! 5 weeks til u meet ur little girl.. how exciting!!!
Just waiting for the wind to come.. its still quite calm here, its not directly hitting us here in cairns anymore, its a little more south, its so big tho that i think we are still gonna cop it. Just waiting at home til it all starts and then we will be leaving.
Baby has been super active today.. im loving it! I can always feel the little head or bottom (not sure which one!) poking out, so beautiful :)
Oh and i just re-read my post from earlier.. its only 20,000 body bags they sent, not 200,000! Big difference! But yeah still scary. I hope none of them get used.
Anyway thanks for all ur thoughts, truly appreciate it. xxx

Ferrals - Sorry to hear your placenta didn't co-operate..... but on the other hand, how exciting, that means YOU'RE next, not me! :) Looks like little miss is playing hard to get, hiding her face like that... I would have been disappointed too. 5 weeks isn't long, eep!! :)
Reet - :hug: hang in there!
-
Ferrals sorry the placenta hasn't moved, but how exciting about meeting your little girls so soon.
Reet still thinking of you & hope you stay safe.
I was all excited about my levels almost tripling, but now i'm worried it's not a good thing & it's a molar pregnancy.
The was about 47 hours between the tests. Has anyone else had this?
-
Ferrals I too am sorry to hear your placenta hasn't moved. Glad to hear but you are so close to meeting your second princess. I can reply to your c/s post with PP if you like from a midwives perspective but not personally.
Chershire my levels rose in 42hours I think. Here are the times and levels I had mine done
12DPO 10am 82
14DPO 11am 232
17DPO 12pm 1011
19DPO 6pm 3113!
-
Mildez-i will take a midwives perspective please.
Forshelby-never know you could go a little early and the OB still hasnt given me a set date just a window 9th-16th and seeing as i have had no more spotting i dont think he will be in any panic to get her out but i would like it done before Abbi's Bday on the 20th anyway i will know more after friday's appointment.
-
Reet~ omg once i saw about the body bags i just wanted to cry. Please be safe i will be thinking of you.
Ferrals~i am so sorry to hear that you are going to need a c~section.I know its not the way you wanted to have your LO.
Forshelby and ferrals~ i cant believe how far along you are
-
hey reet - how did you go? ive been watching the news this morning!
ferrals - buggar! sorry u need a c-section, thats funny that she hid her face, cheeky monkey!
cheshire - i havent had a blood test done with this pregnancy but im pretty sure if i remember right both pregnancies before they tripled and what not, you will be fine :)
hi to everyone else :)
-
Just wanted to pop in and see how Reet got on last night with Yasi. Hope you and your family stayed safe last night darl.
-
Hiya - been gallavanting about and missed a few days.....
Reet - glad to hear you're safe and that Cairns didn't end up too bad. I have some friends who were due to move to Cairns this weekend - needless to say they're waiting a while now but not too long - they both have medical type jobs to go to.
Sunshine - thinking of you my sweet.... I keep saying to myself that no news is good news.....?
Ferrals - sorry the ole placenta didn't cooperate.
Angel - ah Sweetie - when they are first at home, from my own experience, there's not a lot feeling happy - it's more just a lot of hard work, exhaustion, confusion, tears and lots of self doubt. A lot of women don't feel "happy" for a while... so go gently on yourself. You are getting to know Honor and she's learning to live in the world. It's all pretty hard stuff so honestly go easy on yourself. Wish that you could get a break from the step kids though..... if you can't avoid them coming, then when they are there - just focus on what you and Honor need and not anyone else. I know it's hard but be strong. You will get there, and you are doing a great job. Your little girl loves you and you love her, just you're so tired to really enjoy it at the mo. But if you just can't stop crying or feeling really down, then see if you can go to the Dr and also find someone to talk to. It's ahrd to know the difference between baby blues and depression when you're in the middle of it, but PND goes on for much longer. Oh hope you're ok in that crazy weather that the USA is having.... so much snow. What a nightmare to be stuck in a blizzard with your MIL. Yikes.... arsenic anyone?
Forshelby- I LOVE the visual of your belly sticking out of the water in the bath... just awesome....
Kell & Clairesmummy- try not to worry too much.. but I know... mission impossible.
Not too much time for more persies, sorry. Thinking of you all and your darling little bubs. Take care.
-
Reet: I hope you got through the storm ok and your house escaped damage.
Angelfish: Those first few weeks are hard, especially if there's other stress going on. Dory has said everything much better than i could so i'll just say I agree: Opt out when you can and leave BF and MIL to tend to his kids and you look after Honour. And please talk to someone if it all gets too much.
Ferrals: Bummer about placenta not moving. I hope the advance warning you got about it helped you to not be too disappointed. Gosh it's getting so close to your girl's arrival!
Forshelby: must be really hot where you are! (I hadn't notice the Gold Coast weather forecast). Hope the shower helped.
T-Hopes: You've been quiet the last few days. I assume you are just quietly cooking your little bundle? Can you feel baby move yet?
Sunshine: still thinking of you and hoping all is well.
Cheshire: It's just so hard isn't it: You get what sounds like good news and we still find a reason to worry! (I know I do)
Alish: Just one more week til your scan! Yay!
Kirstenfleur: You still around?
Clairesmummy: Glad all went well with your dating scan. How is your DD? Was she stuck in Toowoomba for long after the floods?
Kellbell, Dory, Mildez, Melster, Freya, Damprye: hello to you all! (And anyone else i missed)
AFM: Had OB appointment today. He got called out to a delivery so midwife saw me. She's not as handy with the ultrasound machine so couldn't measure baby for size or tell me a specific heart rate but I got to look at the baby and we could see the heartbeat flickering and baby was moving-looked like a few little waves. Very cute. But OMG Olive has grown so much since last week and looked a real chubba bubba! And in the absence of anything else to worry about i started to worry: Why is Olive so fat!!! I'm not worried about my future baby's weight but more i started to think: Should s/he look this chubby? Is this the right shape for a 10.5wk baby to be? What if there's something wrong? I know (*groan*). I'm nuts! I'm giving myself a stern talking to: s/he's alive and kicking and has grown lots and that's all you need to know for this week. :rolleyes:
-
possum - thats great!! haha so baby is still named olive eh??? i like prune better :P
p.s stop being silly!!! baby is fine!! and chubby babies are the cutest!!
i know im getting a bit excited, ill be that nervous next week that ill feel sick as, i always do that :D
hi everyone else , have a great day :)
-
thank you everyone !!!! i was so low this am and i had to go out to see my dr and left the baby with bf mom and when i came back all she wanted was me she cuddle right into my neck and did not want me to put her down made me so happy.
I hope everyone else is well i know that i had my baby and probley belong somewhere else but all of you had been so helpful during my journey and i dont know were i would have been with out you all :)
-
super busy but wanted to know have we heard from S&S?
-
Dory - Lol... I had to keep splashing water up over my belly because it was drying and getting too warm.
Possum - It was 36 degrees yesterday when I got in the car to leave the hospital, INTENSE! (our car tells you the outside temp, love it!) After driving for a few minutes it was down to 33... but still.... ughhh. I swear it was at least 35 inside the house yesterday. Thank god we're getting air-con installed Monday. And I'm planning to hide out at my sister's place in her air conditioned house all day today... lol. Congrats on another great scan. Chubby is good IMO. At my 12 and 20 week scans I was amazed how round and chunky bubby's belly had gotten. Extra chub means extra insulation and stored energy for after birth. So thumbs up for chubba wubba! And as Alish said, The chubby ones really are the cutest :)
Alish - Hi hun!
Angelfish - We love having you here. I'm soo glad to hear your little one was able to bring a smile to your face after your trip to the Drs. It won't be long before you can't wipe the smile off your face. I would say more but I think Dory already said it all so well. :)
Tegam - No... and I'm getting a bit worried. :( I'm hoping it's just a technical problem like no internet service or something......... don't even want to consider the alternatives. I'll have a stalk later on and see if there's been any activity. How's Miss Molly doing??
AFM - Saw the dietician yesterday (FINALLY) and got my little finger ***** needle thing and the little monitor to read my blood. I was feeling really icky about the whole situation and a bit down, but after going to the information session I feel a lot better, and a little silly for worrying so much. The needle doesn't hurt, and all I have to do is eat like I used to when I was health conscious, LOL. Not so hard at all! I don't have to avoid EVERYTHING I love, I just can only have a nibble. Anyway, speaking of nibbling I'd better get some breakfast into me as bubby is kicking my ribs ferociously........ I'm assuming someone is hungry!
Oh one more thing, I handed out my baby shower invites (the date is the 20th of feb, 1 week after my birthday) and it's been almost a week with NOT ONE rsvp. I'm trying not to feel gutted, but I really do. I wondered why I felt such dread about deciding whether to have a party etc and why I hesitated to hand out the invites........ I should have known this would happen. :( My SIL made an excuse about being too busy, and my sister just said 'oh. can you drive me home so I can get drunk?' :( I would rather NOT play taxi on my special day. That is if it even happens now. My birthday is in 9 days and I feel pretty crummy about this, but dangit I'm not going to let it ruin it for me. If nobody responds, I will send a memo saying 'CANCELLED DUE TO OVERWHELMING LACK OF INTEREST. THANK YOU.'
Ok, now breakfast time. lol....
-
Tegam-no we havnt heard anything from s&s and i am a little worried for her.
Possums-now stop that bubs at 10 weeks are not chubby they dont have any fat until later in the pregnancy Abbi was born at 19 weeks 5 days and was skin and bones with a little pot belly like a little skined rabbit.
Your baby is perfect size and moving and wriggling around exactly what it is supose to be doing so please try and relax and believe this bub will be perfect.
Anglefish- that is what its all about give it time this ia all new for you and a big change just try to relax and enjoy your little girl.
AFM-saw the OB this morning and i am booked in for a c section on the 16th of march he said i still have total placenta previa grade 4 and it is a high risk op so i had to sign consent forms for blood TF and a hysterectomy if needed it was very scarey i am also having a specialist perform the operation not a registrar THANK GOD! and i am on 2 weekly u/s from now on to check it for signs of placenta failure as he said placenta's down low tend to not do so good at the end of pregnancies is that correct mildez?
Anyway we have 40 days left until we meet our girl.
-
oh 40 days ferrals! Thats amazing but at 32 weeks its nice toknow that you are bringing a baby home even if it the placenta stuffs itself.... Hysterectomy, blood tf....bit scary but you have been thru worse odds!
oh S&S i so hope you are ok and just super busy!
