CONGRATULATION! Happy Babymoon!:
CONGRATULATIONS ELISELOUISE ON THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF YOUR LITTLE MAN BRODY!!!:bluecheer:
Dory, LMAO about your but explosion comment, how funny!!!!! My Kitties go for the snip on Thursday morning hehehehe!!! Now who's boss you naughty kittens!!!!
Girls, have had quite an uncomfortable couple of days, dunno if it's normal or if anyone else at my stage is feeling the sme thing.
I feel like I have a hard mass in my uterus (well I know I actually do, but YKWIM) no matter how I walk, sit, turn, try to sleep, it's quite evident and a little uncomfortable!!
It's not a complaining uncomfortable. Does anyone know the feeling of trying to sit down whilst being constipated?? Well it's like that but from the front.
Making it very hard to kneel down and help the oldies at work get their undies and socks on I tell you!!! I'm having enough trouble doing that to myself!!!
Today was my first day back at work, I just had 2 weeks off, and I swear to god, if one more person calls me fat, I'm going to take it more personally......I feel like frump girl....
Oh doesnt sound good but you sure are discriptive!If it wasnt so horrid it would be funny!:
I gotcha Ms Cod! Apparently it can happen when your more in tune with your body, and I'm guessing your paying pretty close attention to that lil bubba you got growing in there! Also now your in the second trimester you can start to say goodbye to some flexibility. It's gone, mourn it's loss and buy a thingy to put your shoes on with. And in 4 weeks don't sit on the couch unless your prepared to stay there for a while. It could also be part of being constipated (I'm assuming you are, I know I am!) and everything feeling heavy.
I tried to describe an occasional crampy feeling to the midwife and it was dismissed as part of pregnancy and ligaments stretching. It was actually really lovely to have a crampy feeling dismissed, given that in the first trimester cramping is super scary! Kinda brought home that I'd made it through the dreaded first trimester!
ELISELOUISE Congrats on your baby boy!!
How very exciting.. I think we will be seeing lots of babies being announced in the coming weeks!! YAY it's all very exciting.. My friend has her daughter this morning and I am so damn impatient I want my daughter out now so I can say hello!!!
Dory - Not long now my dear... My MW keeps telling me that she will be here well before the 24th... We have bets going with our families... Something keeps telling me the 17th, I think it's coz bubba1 was due onthe 17 of April.. I think it would be nice for Audrey to be born on the 17th.... something very special...
Hello to all the ladies... Hope you're doing well...
Will catch up on posts soon....
CONGRATULATIONS ELISELOUISE! Enjoy your babymoon :) xoxo
Congratz eliselouise on beautiful baby brody that is also my 2nd sons name isnt it gorgeous.
Congratulations Eliselouise. What a beautiful name you have chosen for your beautiful boy. Enjoy this time - newborns are magical.
Congrats Eliselouise on the safe arrival of your lil man brody and welcome to the world brody, may the next few years be treasured by your mummy n daddy!!
Eliselouise congrats on your new baby boy!!!!!!!! i am so happy for you
Dory thanks for the best wishes. I think now that i am in the second trimester the worry is there but not as bad as the frist trimester. But right before a scan i get so nervouse i could get sick.
Eliselouise Congratulations!!
Just a quick one from me to say we have a heartbeat!!!! I don't know what it was, but my EDD has changed AGAIN and is now 29th March, so I'm back to 6wks 6d... which is odd... but whatever... I have a heartbeat and that's all I care about at this moment! :D
just got back from the dr's had the scan done baby would not cooperate at all. All it wanted to do was strecth and turn the other way. Had to get it done today though becouse as of tommorow i would be to far along. Oh by the way the dr is 95% sure it is a he :)
:happyforyou: :heartbeat: love that old heartbeat noise :heartbeat: :happyforyou::
Naughty baby but YAY on the BOY BITS!:
Mskara-yeh! for a heart beat you are due the same day as me.
Angelfish-yeh for the boy bits i have 3 of them and i suspect this bub is also i think my only glimpse of pink was my little Abbi but i will be extremely happy for another boy as long as he is healthy.
Murrycod-the hard ball is the uterus it is normal i can already feel mine when i lay on my belly or when the kittens walk over my belly i have never felt it before 12 weeks with my other bubs so for a second there it made me wonder is there 2 in there and then i thought no it is because this is baby number 5 for me so my uterus just knows what it is doing and goes overboard.
Hi to everyone sorry for lack of persies been busy at work and in bed by 8pm still very tired yuk!
AFM-i know you girls have prego porn on the brain and everything i wright you automaticly see sex i am experiencing something totally new to me every time DH and i have sex when i O it is way more intense then before being pregnant i nearly kicked DH off the bed and the other day i piched a nerve in my butt cheek and today i have put my hip out so what is going on with that:shakehead: i am starting to worry about hurting something everytime we DTD lol.
I am walking around like i have already given birth so not funny dont even laugh murrycod!
:rofl: i am so not laughing, insert serious face here :rofl:
I was trying to read a book on labour the other day and got too horny everytime they talked about nipple stimulation :redface:
OMG - Tegam you made me laugh........ me too a little.... but then it gets worse..... for me today.... read on....
Ferrals - in your post where you talk about "no persies", I thought you wrote no "penises" ( given all the talk about Angelfishes baby's boy bits) but then had to stop myself from wetting myself when you reported in actually no "penises" for you at the mo. So my mistake actually ended up having some ring of truth to it.
Ms Kara - yeah to a heartbeat, and dating is such a variable thing, just go with the flow.... the heartbeat is just the best.
Iona - good to see you got to look at something other that the loo - ie you were here on BB for a little bit! How's that M/S going?
Sammy P - it's so nice of you to drop in. How are you going?
Hiya to everyone else. I have got to go do my exercies. My fingers are all numb and typing is hard. Waving my fingers around above my heart is the extent of my exertion at the moment.... no wonder the suggestion of nipple stimulation does it for me.
Thanks dory, yesterday was a good day and then today when I have a 6hr day at uni I was back at the toilet this morn and my lovely dp decided to tell me that I didn't look the best....lovely!!! But I did find that chewing gum today helped me a bit.
OMG I can't believe you have 6 weeks to go - the time has gone so quickly and in no time you will be meeting your little bundle of joy!!
Dory! Glad i made you laugh! so we all have to read a little slower in here.... I still blame ferrals!
Iona: and youd think that we thought we looked good with M/S! Men are so dumb some times! hehe
EliseLouise: Congratulations on the arrival of Brody! Yay for lots of beautiful smelling baby cuddles and kisses!
Hi girls! My little bro has been staying with us for a week, so I've been in lurk mode too. Struggling to keep up properly, but do have a few "penises"
eliselouise - congrats on baby Brody! How wonderful for you to have him in your arms.
MsKara and ferrals - you are both due on my DHs birthday! Look out! Speaking of which...
dory - my birthday is September 17. Can you just say that date out loud? So that maybe your little one chooses that as its birthday. That'd be nice. OK, thanks.
murraycod and ferrals - I loved that hard uterus feeling early on! Especially first thing in the morning, when my epically full bladder really pushed it upwards.
AFM - getting beaten up from the inside and just about exploding with heartburn! But I'm feeling really great and apparently glowing. It was rainy and yuck today, so I mooched around in trackies and a t-shirt, and still got told that I looked great, and I feel awesome. I started packing my hospy bag today, and I think I'm feeling a little excited about it all! :D
I also started reading to the baby today. I guess I sort of have been since the start, because of all the reading I do at work, to the kids, but this time it was just me and the baby, in its room, having a story time. It was really nice.
Hi --
crashing here-- Had an 8 week u/s and all was well. Good heartbeat and good growth...They did say that there was another embie that didn't make it; not viable; two weeks behind w/ no heartbeat. But I am really happy that we have a healthy singleton so far.
I am writing to ask for prayers, sticky vibes, positive thoughts... The "anniversary" of my former miscarriage is coming up...and I really am trying not to be anxious, but, well...
Oh-- Audax, I forgot to mention that I am also born on Sept 17th-- !!! But this b-day will be more difficult-- 41 years old-- ugh.
Sunshine: All the happiness and best wishes in the world being sent your way! Congrats on your little strong baby! Got to love that heartbeat!
Wow, sunshine! That's ace, what a fab day to be born! See, dory, TWO of us. Tell your baby that! Great news on your heartbeat, sunshine, fingers crossed for your little one.
sunshine frist off congrats on the the heartbeat i will be praying for you and sending sticky vibes. i remmber with this one the frist time the tech said there is a a hb i asked three times are you sure is it a strong hb. And i love your sceen name!
AFM i am getting ready for a week long camping trip with the b/f and his two little brats opps did i say that i dont know out of the three once ones will be worse i am just planning on reading and catching up on sleep if i can. Having a problem with sleeping latly.
The Pregnancies That Don't End Well
great article! Made me cry and cry!
Great article Tegam. Anything makes me cry these days. SO hormonal! Had a little weep at a certain ad on telly last night. An ad! :rolleyes:
Murray - for some reason I missed your post about 2 pages ago.... I know what you mean... the hard uterus thing.... mine has changed now... and it seems like my whole abdomen is hard. But constipation and full bladder arghh. You had me nodding with agreement about not being able to bend etc. I have worked out this method of putting on my undies that basically looks a lot like fly fishing... I just keep going til I snag a leg - much easier than trying to bend. LOL. Maybe you could get the oldies to try that? And about the lounge thing.....I think Tegam mentioned it.... sooooooo true. even with a pillow behind my back I look like a turtle stuck on their back, except I have a short neck..... I also found I became LOT more comfortable once bubs turned from being breech to head down. I still reckon I look fat and not preggers, but DH and Obs have been saying for ages I look preggers. Sorry that you're getting fat comments - just blow them a raspberry.
Audax - lovely to hear you are glowing..... even in trackie dacks ....I have been getting that comment for ages... and finally I am starting to feel like I am. How cool. I am at the stage where I want to get to 40 weeks, as I really want to experience every aspect of this pregnancy. But 17 Sept would be ok :) To be honest I would be happy with any day in September.
HPL - Audrey is on my list of names... how cool. DH says he has no idea and likes all of my ideas. So that's something...
Angel - enjoy the camping.... hopefully its relaxing.
Tegam - I am with you... just about anything can make me cry at the mo .... including the tantrum throwing little tyke I saw today... or weirdly, DH took me out to watch some out rigger canoe racing and I just cried and cried. Not sobs, but I couldn't stop the tears. We just agreed to try and ignore them in the hope they would go away.... they did eventually. Which ad did it for you?
Ferrals - it is so good to see you in here.....
Sunshine - well done! It will be hard coming up to your angel versary..... just go with the flow on the day.
AFM - we've got the car seats now. we splurged and bought two - one for each car. but it was kind of cool to be buying two, as we would have bought two for the twins, and it was a tangible connection to their pregnancy and this pregnancy. ended up getting the safe and sound compaq - it rated most highly on the choice and CREP report ( available from NRMA and RACV web sites) and DH was determined to get this one. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of some, and the little one might grow out of it a little sooner than some of the larger ones... but that's a problem that's at least another 2 years away.
The other really poignant thing was doing a tour of the birthing suites at the hossy during the antenatal classes. I was worried I would get upset. But the group was shown one suite and then was open to us to look at another one. The other two were in use! DH and I waited til the group had moved on, then went into the birthing suite where we met our wee Amelia. Instead of being gutted, I just felt a sense of peace and serenity and contentment - almost nostalgia. DH said the same. A long way from being nervous about even going into the hossy or past the the outside doors to the birthing suites.
Oh the other thing? DH said he almost cried during the birth video ( it was more a montage set to some earthy new world music and about two shots of birth itself, most of it was just the woman in the first stage of labour) as once the baby was born the mother had a particular smile on her face, and DH said he said that's what he remembers most about after Amelia was born, the particular look/smile on my face. Who would think I could have smiled at a time like that? But our wee little girl was just so beautiful and precious and ours, and I felt so blessed, even in that moment to have the privilege of sharing my life with her. Hard to explain really. I certainly didn't expect those feelings. Glad I did though.
Anyway, I am off to read that article and see if it brings a tear to my eye. Take care girls, and thanks for listening. I appreciate it.
Although interestingly, my memory of the room was a bit different to the reality. Guess my focus was somewhere else that day? It was ever so cool to hear the lusty wail of a newborn from one of the other suites. I have to say the joy of that sound brings tears to my eyes. It was interesting though, there was a lot of fidgetting from the group when we were in the birthing suite - not sure if it was anxiety or tiredness. But then again, the topic of the evening had been labour, so maybe people were just overwhelmed.
hi me again - poor editing in my last post.
Thanks for the article Tegam... no tears, except tears of rage at one of the insensitive comments. But that person is entitled to their view, I bet they are crusty, cyncial without true friends or happiness in their life and lead a life without love. So I actually feel sorry for them.
wow Dory what comment??
Oh your hospital experience sounds lovely. I cant wait to read your birth story! I thionk that the men get fidgity in the birth suite cause they cant handle all that focus on VAGINAS hehe...
So glad that the room and the memories of Amelia are as sweet as her!
Hi girls,
Just a quick one i am really tired after a big day i had my scan bub is fine heartbeat of 126 and measuring perfect EDD is the 30th of march my Bday is the 2nd of April so i will have a great Bday present now just the 4 and a half week wait for our cvs hopefully i can keep this bubby i am inlove already.
Ferrals - AWESOME!!!! I know the next 4 weeks or so will be hard, but I am so happy you are in love. You are an inspiration.
Tegam - someone wrote a comment in response to the article that basically said "get over it". If you follow the link you provided and keep scrolling down, you'll find it. But only go there if you're feeling up to it. It's pretty harsh - I wanted to flame them something chronic but realised not worth my time as the only person I will upset in all liklehood is myself. I am too precious for that.
Oh yay ferrals....so happy that you saw a heartbeat and a nice strong one
Oh Dory i must admit my caring husband cut the article out of the paper for me and said read only when in the right mood. He knows how i feel about the secret business and i thought it was lovely that he had gone to that effort for me when he was away at work. So i found the link this morning to share with you all. I am so sorry that there was that stuff written and like you i will probably only upset myself so ill shy away. Thanks for the warning. I was worried it was something in the article that had upset you!
YAY Ferrels! Hopeing that the next 4 weeks flys!
Ferrals that is brilliant news.May the next 4 weeks speed up ever so fast.
Congrats to Elise on the birth of brody..i love the name and am biased as its my dear sons name also lol...but a perfect choice.i hope all is well.
I said i would post more frequently on here but im basically asleep by the time i get the kiddies off to bed..mega tired but thats the joys of pregnancy hey girls...i will try more i promise.
I am leving for my camping trip for a week i will miss all of you with all of your support
