Bec - Great levels!! Fab news love!! Your GP sounds ace! I need one like that!!! Mines an airhead!
ok i swear i wrote an email yesterday but its not here..im either going crazy or i posted it in the wrong section......must have baby brain :o
Scan went well yesterday. 163beats. downs 1.50. measuring a bit ahead..13.4 days..so 15th July..and she said she couldnt see any bleeding or anything like that and things looked ok....so thats a huge relief...
But i was a bit bummed i couldnt enjoy it very much.....im so sick of the ex and the skids...its seriously doing my head in and its much of why i feel upset all the time. The ex has got her self arrested again for domestic voilence.....GREAT..this is what the 3rd arrest in a few months....the skids have been in trouble with the police and are obviously running a muk....at our house that would have never happened..they were nearly angels..well maybe not that far but you know what i mean....and i cant hack it anymore....we had out scan yesterday and if i hadnt of said CHOOSE..he would have gone to those kids...i know there his kids and he needs to look after them...but its becoming a joke...its every day, every week, every month there is some upheval and there coming and going and everytime changing our lives..and i need to think of my dd and my unborn babies health..the stress is too much..and all because this woman has no morals. takes no responsibilty and is a complete moron...she thinks and knows she can control my hubby and there is not a thing i can do about it..she knows she can get to him through the kids........so i have had to be really tough and i have had to put my kids first and i have given him a choice....he either starts putting this family first and protecting us or thats it...i had bad back ache last night so i hope its nothing to do with the stress....its been seven years of hell and i have stuck by him and let the kids live with us but enough is enough letting another woman control and dictate our lives...hubby has to make a stand otherwise she will keep doing it.... :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall: im so hormonal and so over it...what about my family
Bec..im glad things are looking good..
Ill do persies again after i get some work done...
Hello everyone, just wanted to drop into this thread and say hello.
bec- great levels- that's great
clairesmummy- congrats!
t-hopes - yay for 18 weeks... hope you are ok, maybe go and check it out as a possible UTI
dory- hope you are doing ok
all the best to everyone else in here
afm- i am 7 weeks today! yay...nervously waiting for 8 week scan.
melster - chin up, i couldnt imagine how u r feeling, but good on u for taking a stand!!
everyone else, hello :)
afm - nothing to report :)
Melster~ i understand were you are coming from not 100% becouse or situtions are same but different when it comes to the ex and the kids. I am happy to hear that your scan came out good
Just wanted to say that i am so happy i found this message board i belong to a different one. And the same type of caring is not there such as it is here you all have been there to give me good advice during this long journey and i could not have be able to be so strong during allot of hard times. I just wanted to say thankyou agian.
Bec~ WooHoo for great BT results darl, that is awesome news.
Melster~ Hope things settle down soon for you darl, sending you some huge hugs. This is a time you should be enjoying with your family, ex's can be such a pain in the butt. Chin up darl and think of you your DD and your little bub. Great news for your scan.
Possums~ Thanks for the congrats darl, and woohoo for being 7 weeks, that mile stone feels like an eternity away for me atm. lol
AFM~ Well had my DR appointment yesterday and I am definately PG she also did a BT while I was int there no idea when I will get results though due to the huge flooding in our area. Feeling a little sick from time to time and very tired and a little crampy from time to time but not like AF cramps. As you may all have heard now Toowoomba was hit by huge flash floods yesterday after a deluge of rain. My DD is currently in Toowoomba with her dad so you can imagine my reaction when I seen the tragedy in toowoomba,I was a total freaked out mess big time. My DD is fine though but that first thought nearly killed me when I heard the news. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragic event.
We have our bags packed just in case tonight we are on the southside of brissie so waiting to see how much the brisbane river rises. Hope everyone in qld is safe tonight and over the following days
How scary for you clairesmummy i cant believe the water that went through toowomba
Glad your family is safe
Oh thinking of you guys facing flooding, we look like we will be ok..... scary tho!
Thank you Kell, praying for everyone that they all stay safe and sound. Thinking and praying for you to Kell, take care down there darl.
Clairesmummy - I don't seem to have the brainpower for amusing stories these days.... plus not much happens when you don't leave the couch. LOL.... You're going to think I'm one of those annoying pg ladies who never has mood swings, but I just haven't experienced any of that. Sure I've cried over stupid stuff, but I just don't get pg rage for some reason. Maybe you could invent a code-word you can use on your DF for when you're about to get your cranky pants on so he has some warning :) Bubby is going really well, kicking me in the ribs constantly and punching my bladder. Time has definitely flown! I've been watching the flood coverage all day and it's just horrible. You must have had your heart in your throat worrying about your DD. So glad to hear she's ok :hug: I hope she's home safe and sound soon!
Bec - Great results. :) So good to hear!
Melster - Ughhh you poor thing, I hope things settle down for you soon. It must be hard, I think especially for your DH as he has two families to worry about. :hug: Glad your scan went well though.
Possums - YAY for 7 weeks :) When are you having a scan?
Alish - Hehe, no news is good news :)
Kellie - How scary, but it's good to hear you're prepared just in case. Stay safe!
AFM - Not a lot going on for me right now. Feeling very lucky not to be affected by the flooding. We're surrounded by disaster, even northern NSW is copping it, but the GC is relatively ok. Some roads have been closed but nowhere near us, so we're grateful. I'm keeping a close eye on the situation though, and hoping those who are missing are found safe.
It's been a busy few days with babysitting, having tradies in ripping out dodgy insulation, meeting the owners of my house and organizing aircon...... oh and getting the car looked at too. *phew* So glad that's all done. Tomorrow's plan is to sleep in (as much as my bladder will allow, LOL) and then head out for my GTT. Round 2 of my GTT I should say. I think that's about it for me! I hope everyone is well!
My MIL house is highset so well head there if we need too scary packing stuff thinking about what we would take end of the day as long as were safe the material things dont matter
We did a big food shop it was crazy people grabbing everything not nailed down. If were cut off well be living on baked beans.
Its def dark days for qld at the moment - very scary times :-(
Becnxavi: Congrats on your good news! Hope you enjoy your first scan : )
Ferrals: Poor puddy tat! Hope little mowgli is better soon.
Melster: Great news on the 12wk scan! Shame you are under so much stress at the moment. Must be tough having an important part of your life that you can't much control.
T-Hopes: Yes, pls go to the GP. Maybe kidney infection? Hope you feel better soon.
Kellbell: How scary! I hope you all stay safe and dry and don't have to move.
Clairesmummy: You poor thing! I can only imagine the heart attack you got when you saw the news. I'm sooo relieved for you your DD is safe. Hope you have her back in your arms soon.
Tegam: Glad your family is in a safe area of QLD.
Forshelby: Good luck for the GT test tomorrow.
Alish: Are you due for a scan Friday? More than halfway there!
Possums: Congratulations on your BFP! We must be due about the same time. Our usernames are similar too. Could be confusing!
AFM: Been feeling disgust-amundo (if that's a word i can borrow from the Fonze!) Not sure how much is pg nausea and how much is a bit of a tummy bug that DD seems to have. Probably a bit of both. But i've been feeling gross all week. And still very tired. Falling asleep on the couch here there and everywhere! And very sore nipples. Tricky because DD has a bit of a bb obsession and is always trying to grab them when i'm getting dressed (despite the fact that I haven't breastfed her since she was 14mths old!)
iI wish I remembered more about Australian geography right now. I have family in the Eastern states and have no idea which major city is in which state grr. Sorry to hear that things have gotten so bad over there. I remember when living in Townsville when I was little on a house built on stilts, it was so high. Now I know why :( Stay safe eveeryone.
Possum- I totally get the whole cchild grabbing sore bbs thing. DS weaned at 10.5months yet still trys grabbing at tthem, saying they are his and also, at times, demands milk. I of course tell him no. So weird that they stay so attached.
My toughts and prayers go out to eveyone with flooding. I had no idea until i got on here today. please everyone stay safe
possum magic- yep i have a scan on friday, work has given me the day off so thats good.. but im still scared sh*tless!
i hope everyone affected by the floods is doing ok!
sorry for no personals ive been a bit of an airhead this week
Thinking about all the ladies and their families in the flood areas my cousin was in towoomba and was evacuated her house is gone now she lost everything her mum (my aunty) lives just outside rockhampton at yapoon and she is safe so my cousin is there now and just before she got evacuated she got her BFP after a few goes of IVF so i hope the stress hasnt upset the pregnancy for her.
Forshelby-good luck for your GTT test today.
Possums-funny that BB obsession my DH has one of those and hasnt been BF for 37 years lol.
Hello to everyone else i have missed.
AFM-done my 10 hour shift training another one of my replacements funny they need to people to do my job while i am gone but i can tell you she stressed me out last night i dont know how many times i had to explain things but i managed to finish my shift and balance to the cent.
Mowgli' is back to normal (thank god)
And the job network felt sorry for DH and our situation with a bub coming soon so they are sending him for his OH&S white card on friday and his forklift licence on mon,tue,wed so that will majorly help with looking for work.
AND THE BEST NEWS!!!!! legal aid have excepted our claim and are going to represent DH so he doesnt have to sell his bike.
Things are looking a little better for us we just need DH to get a job win his court case and his ex wench to stop objecting to child supports decision which is ongoing and a real pain in the butt.
Morning everyone - thoughts and prayers to those affected by the floods, its devastating xx :grouphug:
For all the people in and around the flood, clairesmummy and Kellbell....please stay safe and i will be praying for you and everyone else. Im glad you'rew daughter is ok clairesmummy......I have a girlfriend in Gympie that i havent heard from and are worried about...what a horrible disaster..thinking of you all
Ferrals...thats fantastic news..must be a bit of a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Possums...i hope you feel better soon..
Forshelby..am glad you're ok and not effected by the flooding
Clairesmummy...Whoooo for the confirmation
Alish and angelfish..thanks
ATM.....I have no idea whether the ex has been let out of the cells yet or what is happening....we dont know what is going to happen to her because she has other charges from the kids as well..so it aint looking good....hubby and i are arguing...well im arguing and he is ignoring me and not talking..he thinks it will just go away if he ignores me and everyone else and doesnt talk about it....im at a loss what to do...i have been fighting this for seven years and i kinda have had enough..its really taking a toll that another woman dictates what happens in our lives...and because she is messed up it effects everyone else around her.....she doesnt care...if she is unhappy she wants everyone else around her unhappy....this situation is just getting outa control.....i need a break from the stress and uncertainty.....half of me wants hubby to move out for a while so i can really work out my feelings and have some stress free time...but i dont know how much of that is hormones talking and how much of me.......i just dont know what to do anymore..bleeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hello everyone--
First, I just want to say that we are thinking of everyone over there who have been suffering with the flooding and weather, etc. I am sorry that I haven't been in touch-- I haven't been getting notices for some reason and so I had about 8 pages to catch up on...
Also, I've been sick AGAIN. Ugh. Another cold. As part of my work, I shake hands with my parishioners as they leave church. I am not doing that anymore, until the pregnancy is over. It's winter here and snow, and everyone's germs are being passed around. Two days ago, I lost my voice (which made my DH happy, to be sure!) but is not good if you need to do a lot of public speaking! Anyway, yesterday, I woke up and had three nasty herpes blisters--cold sores-- on my upper lip which put me in a CRABBY mood and made me self-conscious. Usually, I don't get them, unless I am really run down, and then, only a small one. But here we go AGAIN. Ugh. Plus, I am worried that I will have them when the baby is born, and that is NOT good. The doc is giving me anti-virals in the 35th week, but I still have a few more weeks to go.
My hubby and I started childbirth classes. What a hoot! We are definitely the oldest in the class! He is a good sport to be present and participating...and so funny! We might write a story about this-- you have to look on the lighter side.
Tomorrow is snow again. It's wicked cold too.
Hello to all of my aussie friends, and please know that I am saying prayers and sending good wishes to everyone...new folks too!
Peace to you!
Hi everyone!
Goodness, take a week or so off and the thread explodes. I've read all the way through it but didn't take notes; please forgive the lack of personals.
That said, congratulations Clairesmummy! Woohoo, great to have you in here!
I hope everyone else is going well; my prayers are with anyone in Queensland affected by these dreadful floods. :O
AFM- still pregnant, have tempted fate and booked in with the hospital and the obstetrician. Notice I haven't got a ticker yet? I'm waiting till past the 12 week scan. :)
Hope to catch up at greater length later!
I cannot remember who, but there is someone that is one day behind me in this pregnancy. I said I would warn the day that my nausea became morning sickness... Well I say to buy a bucket today so you are prepared for tomorrow LMAO! So I guess this means I am definately UTD lol. I know that the u/s showed bub and so did all the other tests but ms to me has just made this so real. The last time I vomited before today was on the 2nd November 2007, giving birth to DS :D
Forshelby~ Yeah I remember that feeling when I was PG with my DD, it's all for a good cause though and relish the relaxtion now darl as once bub is here you never get relaxtion again they just get more demanding as they get older....lol.... I can tell you it was the worst feeling of my life when I heard the news of Toowoomba, I have never been so scared in all my life or so upset as I was I could not stop myself crying and thinking the worst. It was just horrible and nobody should ever have to feel that type of emotional pain.
PossumMagic~ Thank you for your lovely kind words darl, hope you are feeling a little better soon.
KF~ thank you for the congrats hun, hope everything is going well for you.
Damprye~ WooHoo for your PG feeling real now even though it makes you sick it's always good sign.
AFM~ Well I had my ph call from the DR surgery yesterday and have to have my BT again next Wednesday as they couldnt get my bloods to the lab due to flooding.
Afternoon ladies!
Just letting you know I went to see my GP yesterday and I dont have a UTI, but he sent me for an u/s of my kidneys, bladder and urinary tract! The sonographer wouldnt tell me anything! So frustrating, she was very stone faced and that always makes me worry! I know they arent suppose but sometimes you gett one willing to share!
I asked her if my baby was ok and she said 'The heart is beating but thats all i know' Just the way she said it was yuk! Now im worried! Silly i know cause the heart IS beating but i automatically worry something is wrong with the rest of the baby! But have to remind myself that she ONLY checked the heart and it was great!
Ahhhh breathe woman & get a grip!!!!!
I get results tomorrow so fingers crossed all is normal! xx
so, so peeved. I called the docs a lil before 9 this morning and the receptionist told my appt was at 11:30, instantly told my friend and her husband so they could remind me ( I was at theirs ) and so at 11:10 I rocked up at the docs just for them to turn around and say it was at 10:30! So that's two appts I have missed this week cos of their stuff ups. Next appt they can get me is Monday. Bugger that, it would have been like 2weeks since my bloods were taken by then. I may as well just wait for my OBs appt on the 20th and get him to check. In such a grumpy mood, all day morning sickness including while I am driving doesn't helpp.
Hi guys,
I just had a call from one of the midwives who I see and just found out I have gestational diabete's... the only possible symptom I've had is a bit of bloating around the belly, so it's come completely out of the blue... in a bit of shock at the moment.
dampyre its me!
So sorry to hear that JJ :hugs:
Alish- good luck tomorrow, hopefully you wont get all day morning sickness like me lol
Clairesmuumy - I am so very glad you are safe and that your daugther was safe in Toowomba. Just inconceivable.
Jenna - bummer about GD - the only good news is that at least it's only about 10 weeks to go! Yay little dragon fly.
Melster - no advice, just hugs.
Kellbell - hope you guys are safe.
Damprye - poor you with your bucket! Hopefully it only lasts another 6 weeks and the ADS ( all day sickness) is gone by 12 weeks.
Sunshine and Stars - oh I hope you feel better soon - it's awful feeling sick and having to be in public. I agree - no more hand shaking!
THopes - ahh good news a beautiful heartbeat! Sorry the experience wasn't what you'd hoped....
Forshelby - you always manage a funny story... you must just be distracted with something at the mo?
I can't remember who said they have both ADS and a tummy bug and just feeling gross? Hope you feel better soon.
Tegam - glad you guys are ok. Hugs to Molly and the gang. Hope you, beautiful mumma, are going well.
Our little family is not directly affected by the floods in Bris, but have family and friends who are. We used to live in some of the areas that have been inundated, so that's a pretty sobering thought, but really, as other's have said... just thinking of those who have lost loved ones and or their homes, and hoping they can find a way through these dark times.
Hi gals!
Just got back from my GP and my renal u/s yesterday showed i have Hydronephrosis (translation -dilation of kidneys), apparently is not uncommon in pregnancy, just very painful for me :( But the doc said bubs wont be affected by it, just causes it for me! Cheeky monkey! Its worse in my right side but will speak to my ob about it next appt and see if he can shed some light on it!
My GP is a moron and really didnt explain things to me!
Have a lovely w/end girls :)
Love and prayers to those affected by the floods xx
Dory: Glad to hear you are safe and dry. Very sorry for your fellow Queenslanders who are not. How is your brother?
Jenna: Shame about the GD. What a pain. Did you have it with your first child?
Damprye: vomiting! Ugh! So far i've escaped that (FX)
Alish: Hope you enjoy seeing bub today. Waiting to hear.
Kirstenfleur: I like having the ticker cos it helps me keep track of where i'm up to. I did feel a little wierd about it to start with but if figured it won't change the outcome... BUt i also hated having to book the hospital. I feel better not looking ahead too much. But the hospital i wanted (nearest to home) is very popular and if you don't book at like 4wks (!) then you don't get in!
Thopes: How did you go with your test? Did you find out?
SUnshine and stars: hope you feel better soon. Yay to starting birthing classes!
Melster: sounds like a tough situation. Have you thought about counselling for you and DH to help you work out some of this complicated stuff?
Ferrals: :ROFL: DH's BB obsession! Glad Mowgli is better and you got some good news about legal aid and other financial stuff. Hope your DH finds work soon.
AFM: had another OB visit (i'm going weekly for reassurance). Saw the baby. It looks like a little prawn now instead of a blob! Amazing seeing the development in one week. Heard the heartbeat (much stronger now). Nearly 8wks:pray:
Possums - thankyou so very much for asking about my bro... he's a lot better. Stitches out today, but by the time I had a chance to have a decent chat with him it was too late to call him, so I will find out how he is tomorrow. But the last time I spoke him, he was doing so much better. Still not great, but better. Glad you got to see your little prawn and hear the heartbeat...just awesome. Even though it took me ages to get a ticker for Hannah, I regret waiting and it was illogical. Having one is exciting and it does help keep you and everyone else to date and like you said won't change outcomes. So why not embrace it and try to have a little fun. See hindsight is 20/20.
T Hopes - oh blossom - hope your discomfort isn't too much.
Angel - you said the nicest thing the other day. I lurked in a few forums before I joined BB and the reasons I chose BB is for exactly what you wrote - it's just so supportive. Hope you're doing ok.
Anyway, I am just hanging out for Kit's little Tiger to make a grand entrance! Who's nest after Kit ( who is due any day now....)
Possum~ its great that you get to see your lil one every week. Hearing a hb no matter how far along i am i know what a great sound it can be .
Dory~ i love this place i tryed another message board and they all act like they are in jr high and not supportive for anyone. LOL i wish i would be due anyday now i am 37 weeks tommorow but she looks like she is staying put
Angel - maybe you'll get to enjoy every week up to 40.... but maybe your girl will surprise you. what a journey it's been huh? can't wait to read your exciting news... have you got someone to be your PIG (post it girl for your birth announcement?) I am happy to swap emails or maybe you'll be so excited and organised you'll jump on BB yourself!
May have lost my job thanks to ms. I thought zi hid it well but didn't nnotice that I was as white as a sheet when I walkeed back in.
TMI- I don't know why but at the end after nothing being left in my stomach, I kept heaving and started spewing up some blood, my stomach also has bruising on it. What can cause theat? It kinda scares me esp being only my second day of "ms"
hey all...
thopes - you poor thing, hope it dosent gice you too much grief..
damprye - if they fire you they are absolute sh*ts!
dory - glad your brother is doing well.. great news
sorry to anyone ive forgotten!
possum magic - thanks babe!
scan went well.. thinks im due around 10th sept im not going to change my ticker though, dates always change this early on.. we will know better next scan.. we seen our little miracle yesterday i started crying haha!! dh had the biggest smile on his face it just melted my heart. couldnt quite see the heartbeat, could see the blood pumping where the heart will be.. so doc was very happy, but not as happy as us :D
Hi everyone, this is going to be selfish again! Sorry!
I'm a mess today. I am so worried about this baby. I'm sure my symptoms are disappearing the last few days, I didn't even get up to go to the toilet last night. I have my scan on Monday week but I can't wait that long. It was around this time that I found out my last baby had passed a few weeks earlier and I can't help but think it's happened again. My tummy doesn't seem to be growing much either. I dont know what to do. I need reassurance. I've decided I need to get a Doppler, any suggestions?
Sorry once again, hope you're all well xx
Stoked- hugs hun. I hope this bubba sticks nicely and it's heart keeps on a beating for years and years to come :)
AFM- I feel so self concious about puking while DP is home. Most the time he has been at work but now itt's the weekend... just trying so hard not to let it out, yet I have still found myself sitting in the toilet. I do have my bucket in my room but DPs office is right next to my room. I just wanna get drressed and go out but am afraid to leave the security of the toilet.
oh stoked a doppler wont work this early..... can you move the scan date, im sure all is ok but i know how much you must need reasurance at the moment.... hugs hun:
Dampyre: Let it out! Be proud of that spew bucket, it's gonna be your friend for a few more weeks! I'd be sitting behind DH on the couch, he'd be on the floor, and if I made a ''hngghh'' noise he moved for that bucket so fast! It's a horrendous and wonderful time :) As for the blood, I'd ask a doc, but it could also be some stomach lining thing? I hope things work out with your job.
Stoked: Oh I remember that time! I freaked out, did a doc trip for HCG so I could see it was going up (it hadn't really doubled since last time - not reassuring!!) then did some research and found out that HCG levels and symptoms commonly start to drop around this time, cos the placenta is taking over. So your placenta is probably just starting to kick in and do it's job. It's scary, but in a few weeks you might feel kicks :) If you can't wait (I couldn't, I was fine one day then I *had* to know the next) then ask for a scan (not bloods, bloods can be scary cos they can drop and still be normal around this time!). Best of luck hun, it's all gonna be ok xo
Possum: Hooray for prawns! It's incredible, one day they're a blob and the next they have arms and legs and teensy tiny little noses! I can't believe this boy of mine who can stick one foot up in my ribs while punching my bladder with a hand was once that tiny little blob beating away, amazing! 8 weeks is a massive milestone, well done :)
Alish: Hi! I'm pretty crap at keeping up in here, I read everything though! Congrats on the pregnancy, I love happy scans :)
Angel: Oh 37 weeks! Full term! Congratulations :)
Jenna: Boo to GD! Sorry hun, hope it's easily controlled!
Ferrals: Look at your ticker zooming along! Hope all the legal aid stuff can be sorted out quickly and easily!
T-hopes: Boo to kidney thing (the real word was just too long to stay in my head!) Hope the pain isn't too bad, can you take panadol? It's good that it doesn't affect bubs, but sad that it affects you! I hate it when docs don't explain things, or they act surprised when you want test results, my personal peeve is the ''oh if it was bad we would tell you''. Argghhh! It's my body and my pregnancy - I want to know what's going on!
ClairesMummy: Hope the days fly by til your blood test! GL hun!
AFM: Still have a belly full of baby! Tiger's totally fine, but not engaged, still floating happily and really doesn't look like he's gonna move, plus he's quite big. I'm all belly and waaay out in front, probably should have expected that with my 5'4 self and DH being 6'3! Had several chats with Tiger about how this body sharing thing really isn't working out for me anymore, and it's probably time for him to move on out so we can meet him and give him cuddles. I promised him boobs, but even that hasn't worked!
Wonder if you will be saying the same thing when he is 18yrs old :rofl: but it wont be you boobs that will interest him :lol::
