It is so good to drop in and see so much action in here including 2 newcomers, although I recognise the names - welcome PORCHE and HOPE! Congratulations on those bFP's and the snuggley little bundles growing inside.
Murray - thanks for asking after the cat. His BT's came back today, good on his thyroid function... so the treatment has been successful, but he had some elevated liver enzymes... could be something, might be nothing. Another BT test in 3-6 months. Poor little cat. But he was remarkably brave during his ordeal ( trip to the vet) so I am really proud of him.
Ms Kara - I am so so sorry about your foal, poor dear sweet little blossom and your cramping - hope the 6 hr trip in the ute was manageable and that your cramping has subsided.
Ferrals - hugs... it is a really tough journey... I know you will find a way through...but just sending you my love.
Tegam/Jenna - I have been amazingly calm, except in relation to stupid drivers... LOL. Today I saw a bus driver try and cut in front of a fire truck with its lights and sirens on. DUH.
Mildez - thanks for the words of advice... it's more that I've had relatively pain BH contractions for a long time now, so it's more about taking more notice of them rather than just dismissing them. Suture out at 38 weeks, although am seeing the Ob this week and will talk about it some more. I had read that 37 weeks is most common for suture removal though. Sorry you're doing it tough right now.
AFM - sorry not many persies today, although I enjoyed reading yours! It's Sophie's first angel versary today and I feel a bit all over the place. Spent yesterday morning in hossy as I was worried as I hadn't felt bubs move for a considerable about of time.. but all was ok (phew ...only in retrospect did I realise the anxiety had contributed to me feeling cranky the day before) and bubs was fine, and has been moving and kicking like normal today. It was pretty awesome, once we established bubs had a heartbeat and it was ok, to just lie back and hear bubs heartbeat for almost 30 mins. So I can understand why a doppler would help, but I chose not to get one, cause I didn't want to be at home bymyself and not be able to find a HB. My Obs door was always open for a reassurance scan, so I thought I'd leave it to an expert. Am hoping that I don't get to 41 weeks like in Jenna's dream.... I have an aversion to leather... in all pregnancies ....makes me gag ( so no leather handbags, wallets, sofas, shoes, car seats, coats/jackets...etc) and I also had hankerings for potatoes, rice, custard, and ice cream but not all together! I was lucky not to actually go off any food, so could still eat my fruit and veges. Perhaps with all this modified bed rest it would have been good for my figure if I'd gone off most things!
