Hehe, thanks Dory! It was a good night. Unfortunately I think I'm doomed to wear my flip flops until this bubby makes an appearance. Even when my ankles aren't swelling, the rest of my feet are always a little bit puffy so no shoes fit anymore. Must run in the family because my sister spent most of her pgs barefoot, and so did my mum. *sigh* Damn genes! How was Hannah Bear's first NYE? Did she get her party on? Lol..... cute.
Forshelby - barefoot and pregnant! how quaint. Most of my shoes didn't fit me either. Just lucky I was at home and not having to find shoes to wear for work. Hannah didn't get a party going.... but she had a pretty good night. I slept on the floor in her room until about 1am, as I didn't want the fireworks and revellers to wake her if she was in ours. Have got to get me a moitor! But it was pretty quiet around here. Except some crazy bird ( black ****atoo) who decided to visit the trees out the front this morning at 6am and onwards. It woke Hannah and then her bottom lip trembled and then she cried.... poor wee girl.. she is so very cute when she does that. Glad you had a god night. You're exactly the same gest as a friend of mine i just realised.. how very cool.
At least with everyone having a passenger there shouldn't be too many sore heads in here! Have a good start to 2011 my blossoms.
thanks ladies.....thanks dory...really appreciated ur kind words...
ferrals and angelfish.......i hope ur both ok....
Congratulations tegam.....
Hey forshelby...possum......and everyone else...
Atm...had dinner with friends last night and left straight after 12...thats the longest i have stayed up for ages. Im buggard today....have to book in for my 12week scan so i will have that around the 8th...have just taken the bottle off my dd...so i should have an interesting couple days...then ill have to do potty training and dummy before baby comes.....so it should be a very interesting few months......
Forshelby: my feet and ankles swelled lots at the end of my pg with DD. I went to Kmart and got a cheap pair of canvas sneaker/runner type shoes that were not too bad looking. They got me through the last few weeks of my pg. It was quite thrilling a few days after DD was born to look down at my feet and go "Hey, look at that! My ankles are back!"
Hi everyone-- Just a quick post to say HAPPY NEW YEAR 'cause I have to go back to work tomorrow on Sunday and I am not prepared (YIKES!). Got a lot of writing to do tonight and the sermon isn't coming together...oh well.
Anyhow-- Yes, MD is Maryland--sorry for the abbreviation, good guess Dory! Our visit with my folks went well. They stay in a hotel, so that makes it easier, though a bit more costly for them. But they only see me about 3x a year, if that.
We took down our (2nd) Xmas tree today-- needles all over the place. I was a little sorry to see it go-- but my mom helped with the decorations the other day (taking them down and packing them away), and my folks left today. So it was better to do it with the help.
Lots of leg swelling happening here. But I was on my feet a lot yesterday (New Year's Eve and also today) Not sure what the results of my diabetes test was, but my hubby says that I would have heard something by now.
Take care everyone-- I'll catch up with all of you later when I have some more time.
Peace!
Mildez-yes the bleeding has stopped thanks for asking.
Any yes lets all cross our fingers for the ladies still TTC and wish them BFPs.
Forshelby-my feet are killing me and my ankles swell by the end of the day and when i work OMG! my legs ache i never had this with my 3 boys but i only hit 70kg at full term where i have already hit 69kg with little miss and still have at least 9 weeks until my c section so it will only get worse for me if i put on more weight.
AFM-sore legs, sore feet, i feel huge i have trouble rolling over and getting up i am not that big but bub is realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly low and making mummy uncomfortable but i love every minute of it she is kicken and disco dancing and happy in there so i know she is growing nicely well she is actually measuring 2 weeks ahead the little chubba bubba.
Hullo everyone! Happy New Year!
My HPT taken at 12.01am on January 1st was a so I thought I should subscribe to the thread. Looking forwards to getting to know you all, hopefully for the next 36 or so weeks!
Sorry, need to do a me post: feeling very cr@ppy. Started to get more crampy yesterday and feeling off. Settled down a bit in the arvo but went to the toilet and there was a bleed. Can't believe this is happening again. Bleeding stopped after a few minutes (it wasn't heavy) and haven't had any more since yesterday afternoon but am feeling pretty yuk. Not too crampy but nauseated. Last time i miscarried i felt crampy and unwell all day. On the positive side the bleeding has stopped and there were no clots but i'm not feeling lucky, y'know? I'm due to see my OB on Wednesday and i don't think i can really bring that forward bc today is public holiday and he doesn't consult on Tuesdays. But maybe it's better anyway. By Wed i'll be 6.5 weeks and the scan will be more accurate (i.e there really should be a heartbeat by then if bubs is viable, but today could be a bit 'lineball' IYKWIM). I can't help hoping it will all be ok but i'm feeling a bit 'doomed' : (
Kirstenfleur CONGRATULATIONS what a way to start the new year!
Possum Magic sending you a world of sticky vibes. Good news that the bleeding didn't continue and not accompanied with clots or pain and the nausea another good sign. Hope Wednesdays appointment comes quickly and you get to see that gorgeous little heartbeating.
oh possum!! Is the bleeding red of brown?? Can you page your ob? Maybe just speaking to him may put your mind at ease!!! Are you on progesterone? Im praying with all my heart that everything is ok but i know you must be so scared... wish i could hug you
I had cramping all the way thru till 13wks, real period pain like cramps then a bleed at 9wks for about 24 hrs, it was more like brown stuff but everything was ok! Oh Possum, im so sorry that this is happening to you but hang in there, the fact that its stopped is really great news! Rest and take it easy, and please keep us updated. all my love xx
Kirsten - Huge congrats on the BFP!! So cool that you tested when you did!! Did you have a feeling it would be positive or total surprise?? Sticky vibes to you love!! xx
Ferrals - hope your taking it easy and resting up! Glad your little girl is enjoying her disco dancing!
AFM: All good here but I still cant get rid of this friggin cold/cough thing! Ive had it 4wks now! Sooo over it! Last week of holidays and im still snotting everywhere!! On the upside - 1 sleep till i have a scan! Yay!
KirstenFleur - CONGRATULATIONS - that is the most awesome time to test for a BFP! Congratulation and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. I guess tomorrow, when it's not a public holiday you'll be able to make some phone calls for appointments and stuff and get your antenatal appointments sorted. But until then, enjoy the absolute bliss of a NYD BFP.
PossumMagic - Oh sweetie - there's not much I can say to help you feel any better - only time and a visit to your Obs will help. I would still call your Obs tomorrow, they might surprise you and offer a consult.... or alternatively maybe you could scoot up to the hossy A&E and seek a scan. I never been to A&E for a scan, so am not sure what the go is. Every little bit of reassurance you get will help.
It's just so terrifying to see bleeding, and even more so when in the past it's heralded heartbreaking news..... but sometimes bleeding doesn't mean that bubs is at risk... and some women do bleed, even frequently during pregnancy. I had two terrifying heavy bleeds with clots during Hannah's pregnancy - early on at 5 weeks 5 days and 10 weeks 4 days, and she is here. And perhaps just perhaps your m/s has kicked in and that's why you're feeling yukko. well, that's what I am hoping for you.
I know what it's like to feel that overwhelming sense of forboding... I hope like anything that all is ok. Hugs sweetie. All you have to do is get through each moment today then ring your Obs. See if you can rest as much as possible.
Ferals - glad your bleeding stopped. I assumed it had as you didn't mention it again. It can be uncomfortable during pregnancy but it sounds like you have the right attitude and just loving it. Glad you girl gives you some happy dance moves....not long now til you meet her.
Mildez - oh my look at you 25 weeks now. That is so awesome. How are you doing?
AFM - just realised that this time last year I was sharing with some of you when in the TCC thread about DH and my BD marathon ( 7 days straight)... and then the nervous 2WW.... I got my first BFN on 8 Jan 10... but didn't give up hope and finally got a BFP. What a year it's been. Much of it spent terrified. And I want to do it all again.
Sorry, no in-depth persies here today, I'm knackered as usual. So this will be a bit of a me-post. But first:
Congratulations to Kirsten.... yay! And of course Possum I am thinking of you and hoping all is ok. The others are right, the absence of clots and bad pain is a good thing. It's hard not to be afraid though, so I'll be sending sticky vibes your way.
AFM - I managed to get in to see my Dr today, and the news was pretty good overall. Bubby has turned head down (YAY). I have to have my GTT again, this time the 2hr one, which sucks bigtime... but it's better safe than sorry. My sugar was at an 8, and he said up to 7.8 is normal...... so it's pretty borderline. Oh man I don't want to have diabetes!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, he said he thinks it will be fine, and that I must just enjoy having extra tests done, lol.
Anyhoo, I also am anemic, (sp?) so I guess that explains why I'm so tired all the time. I wake up tired it seems. I figured it was just the good old third trimester energy crash, but nope, apparently my iron is very low. So I'm off to get some iron pills tomorrow, and hopefully I can avoid getting all constipated. TMI, I know lol. Oh I also got fitted for some very stylish support stockings, which looked smashing with my denim shorts. I got some interesting stares from various people at the shops.... I think they were jealous of my fantastic legwear.
Sorry again for the me-ness, I just wanted to update before I crash out on the lounge for a preggy-snooze. I hope everyone is well and feeling more energetic than I am!
Forshelby-Sultana bran has been working a treat for me if i even miss a day i pay for it the iron tablets i am on is ferro grad c which has vitamin c in it to help absorb the iron and when i started the bran it took a day or 2 to help but i have been able to go every day without ripping my bum in half sorry TMI.
I have my GD test on friday.
Oh and are the stockings for fluid retention or veins i think i might need them.
Possum magic-i hope everything will be ok and all this is just bub snuggling in.
sorry to hear about the bleed possum. I am so hoping that this one hangs in there for you.
Forshelby, start downing that fibre lol
My memory is shocking atm and I can only use my phone to post atm so only going via memory so sorryeveryone else.
AFM. Havn't been posting the last few days because I don't know if this one really will stick. I have been spotting on and off but only when I wipe, but it is also red so a lil iffy as to what is going on. Sorry for the TMI. Other than that, my BBs are killing me! Not much to report on the ms, just feel naseated most of the time but that is all. Has anyone else had like super dooper sensitive bbs so early? It was my first symptom almost right after conception lol
Must run in the family because my sister spent most of her pgs barefoot, and so did my mum. *sigh* Damn genes! How was Hannah Bear's first NYE? Did she get her party on? Lol..... cute.
so I thought I should subscribe to the thread. 
Looking forwards to getting to know you all, hopefully for the next 36 or so weeks!
I hope everyone is well and feeling more energetic than I am!
