Oh Damp - that is such an awful way to spend the evening! Does he live a long way away? I reckon it's about time to say "it's too late in this pregnancy for you to stay with me any more, it increases my stress levels which is not good for the baby, if you'd like to visit and your house is too far away, perhaps you could ask (INSERT NAME HERE)". I wouldn't want him around at the moment - it's no good for anyone :( Big :hug: to you chicky
CM - I hope the lump is nothing, it's always worth getting these things checked out though - sounds like you've got a really thorough GP which is awesome :)
Welcome MM! Glad to see you in here, it's a hard jump isn't it :) Wishing you a happy and healthy 7 1/2 months (that's all you've got left:))
PM - Glad to hear bubs has gotten into the right position :) must be a relief!
I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday morning, but still feeling bloody awful! I think we'll be off to kindergym, DS needs some energy released, but I wont be picking up anyone else's kids today!
Are you hoping for a boy Jess?
I'll be back later for more personals :D
The_Mrs- What are you hoping for or have a feeling towards?
WBM- He lives a while away, about an hours drive with my driving. There is nowhere else I trust him to have him which is also why when I'm in hossy, he will be at mine with DS. He also doesn't seem to get that there are legitimate reasons for me saying that and would probably just crack it then not see DS for months again not caring that it is his son that he is hurting and that will eventually grow uup to hate him for constantly doing so to him.
Good idea with your LO, makes them so much easier to deal with when you're sick hey.
AFM- GOT SOME SLEEP!!! :D Made me feel so happy to get more than an hour or two every 24hrs. More bad news though. All my power points are out and I'm having chest and throat issues. Waiting at the drop in clinic atm and my chest feels hell tight. XDP is still being an idiot. Cracked it with me when I refused to let him touch the fuse box even after I told him that I had informed my landlord and that it will get me kicked out if he touches it. Tried to tell me noone would know... Um I already told my landlord what has happened so obviously they would know *rollseyes* d!ck.
Bub is putting a smile on my face though, so loving feeling bub wriggling in there waiting for the doc :D
Wow Damp - need more drama? (that's sarcastic) I don't envy you at all chicky. Every time my DH drives me nuts - even to the point I wonder why we're together, he then goes on to do something wonderful that reminds me why I love him. You're reminding me how lucky I am, regardless. I hope everything goes relatively smoothly for you from here and that you, new baby and DS can make a happy little family all of your own that their Dads have input into but no control over. My Mum was a wonderfully successful single mother who raised three well adjusted kids who are friends with each other and with her. We saw our Dad every second weekend, but Mum was our parent. We were 5, 3 and 6 months when Mum was single. I admire her, you and everyone in your shoes.
DS was very happy at kindergym, I'm glad we went. I had fun too, although while feeling better this arvo did way too much cleaning (baby now has a place in our bedroom) and sorting and am now a tired wreck. Second fast food night this week (very unusual for us) Oh well, could be worse!
WBM- Lol tell me about it. So over all the crap.
Glad kindergym went well. Sounds like you need an early night after at that nesting ;)
AFM- Carpet cleaner showed up this morning, after I already informed them about the power and that I'd let them know what's happening after midday since they weren't supposed to show up till 2:30 (when I originally booked them for) as I was going to be out from 9am-2pm. Other than that, no more dramas lol.
Lots of good stuff though. My electrician called to fix the stove and he fixed my power problem, had just tripped the electrics because of my faulty kettle. Looks like I'll be buying a new one but it was only $9 so I'm ok with that. XDP is leaving, went to play group and had an awesome time, amused many with my "voice" if you can call it that atm lol. At the docs, I got told that I have laryngitis (?sp) and asthma set off by the smoke and am antibiotics and have uffers now. At least with that I have answers and solutions :) so glad I went instead of putting it off like I normally do.
DS had his dinosaurs on my belly again so that bub could make them dance :D he loves that
Actually I would really be happy with either. I always wanted a girl first off and I got DD, so now im not picky :)
Possum~ Great news on your scan darl, bub is all ready to go, not long now and you will be in labour and delivery holding your brand new little bub. Thank you for the advice darl i really appreciate it and will be following it, ie- first scan I will have will be done by my FS which is just over 2 weeks away now, wow that time went quick.
Jenna~ You are very welcome darl, how cool would that be for our bubs to be 12months apart.
Damprye~ Wow darl your XDP sounds like a total pain in the butt and how rude to lock you out of your own home and in the pouring rain, I would of been after his blood big time, I am not a very patient person at all, ;) Hope things get better for you soon and he starts giving you the respect you deserve or maybe you should give him a swift kick in the behind and tell him to wake up to himself. Men I am sure they were only put on earth to drive us nutty sometimes. Great to hear bub is giving you lots of loving movements for you. Hugs to you darl.
WBM~ Hope you are feeling better today darl, hugs to you.
The Mrs~ Be interesting to see if your gender predictor kit is right darl, good luck and hope everything is going great for you.
Hi to everyone else and big belly rubs to you all hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
AFM~ Well had my BT done yesterday and the DR rang with my results of my BHCG late yesterday afternoon and it came back at 2500, so I am really happy with that. I have also made an appointment for the Solarderm to have a look at this lump on my neck and that's on the 10th August so I will have my next BT then. Been feeling pretty crook today even had a bit of a chuck this afternoon, my nipples are super sensitive now and feeling totally exhausted all day but now I am not sleeping very well at night. Had the sweetest dream last night about giving birth to a very adorable little black haired bubby, bub was very tiny in length but super dooper chubby. Was just so darn cute until bub then turned into a kitten, I had lots of kitten dreams before I had DD but they were pink kittens the kitten last night was the colour of normal cat. So I am hoping and praying these dreams are a good sign of my sub conscious telling me this PG is going to be all good. I have always dreamed with all 3 MC that I was going to MC well before it ever happened.
Not much else to say this is my last week I get to spend at home for the next few weeks as I have FS and DR appointments all through August.
I didn't mean to kill the thread ladies please come back and chat to me......lol....... I really dont like chatting to myself last time i did that they tried to put me in a funny jacket and take me for a drive in a big white truck that had real soft walls. ;)
Lol Clairesmummy! The baby/kitten dream sounds good & positive! Had any since? I hope the lump is nothing bad!
Well since the scan last Wed we have slowly been telling various groups of family, friends and work. One more group to tell tomorrow night and then I should finally be able to go fully public on Facebook on Wednesday, YAY! So looking forward to that :) everyone has been really happy and excited, so that's good :)
I think I'm getting a bit of round ligament pain on and off, at least that's what Google describes my symptoms as. Anyone else had that?
Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!
Oooh, sorry, just realised how rude I've been - so busy I've been reading but not responding! It's only going to be a couple of lines now because DH and DS are in the shower and I have to be there for handover at the end of the shower, but at least it will be someone else!
That's a great bHCG CM - looks like things are good so far :crossfingers: And the dream is awesome too! Maybe a boy kitten this time?
I'm knackered today :( My boss commented on how puffy my hands and arms are and was wondering about my fluid retention (we're a team of nurses). Another thing to add to the list of things to ask the Ob on Thursday. She was concerned about GD. She's only just finished chemo and radio for cancer and she's worrying about me! I'm still not quite 100% but battling on atm, managed to make sausage rolls, vanilla slice and bolognese on the weekend though so at least I was somewhat productive :) Anyway, better go do shower handover :)
:rofl: CM.
Nothing happening here, can't believe i'm almost at single figure weeks :O
hi everyone,
thanks for the welcome
im sorry i can't remember many personals because its a new page but the people i know are
possum magic: so excited for you, won't be long now
damprye: gosh you have a lot going on, hope all is well with bub and you go a few more weeks yet
clairesmummy: lol at you talking to yourself, i'll try and get in here more often
hi to everyone else, sorry i will get better at personals in here
afm: had another hcg done today, it was nearly 13000 i was hoping it would be higher but it fits in where it is meant to so im trying to relax (not working very well), i have my first scan wednesday and i hope that reassures me, i need it to be within a couple of days of my dates because with the miscarriage at 9 weeks my 8 week scan showed it was only 6 week size. this is stressful !
MM- even if bub is a lil out on size, please try not to stress. This bub measured at 5w4d when I should have been over 8weeks already and now it is a huge chubba ready to pop.
WBM- hope the swelling isn't anything serious!
Phebee- I think most of us get the pain so nothing really to worry about *hugs*
CM- Lol it's ok, you didn't kill the thread. Glad to see things are going well to date :)
AFM- eww.... I just sneezed and got snot in my eye! Better than this morning when I sneezed and peed myself a lil :rofl: oh yes way tmi...
Bub has been very quiet today, only just made the 10movents in 12hrs cut off... Well took a lil longer but not too bad. Makes a big difference from the usual 10 movements in 5mins that bub usually does lol. Have an appt up at the hossy tomorrow morning so will bring it up then as well as that I don't know why but I've had two asthma attacks in the past three nights. Thank goodness I have my puffer handy nowdays anyway. Well time for sleep cos I'm absolutely pooped. Night all :)
awful night with DS, I've had less than 5 hours sleep, and now, because I have to go to work, I have to wake him up. Poor sausage! Oh well, hopefully he sleeps well at our friend's place today :( And I hope he's good for her - she's 35 weeks pregnant and will have two toddlers!
Anyone know how Stoked is doing? I see she is due in 2 days :D
Phebee~ WooHoo for being able to tell your family and friends darl that would be an awesome feeling, I have told my parents and 1 of my closest friends but that is it, I told them more so so I know I will have the support from them in case the wheels fall off my wagon again, FX it won't happen this time though. I have never heard of round ligament pain, what is it?
WBM~ Thanks darl, I don't mind either way boy or girl 'kitten' as long as bub is very healthy and happy that will be the world to me darl. Hope you are feeling better soon, all that cooking you done has made me feel really really hungry and I bet it tastes all wonderful as well. ;)
Cheshire~ WooHoo for single digits darl, not long now and we will all be reading your BA, that is absolutely awesome. Stoked sent me a msg a week or so ago but have not heard from her since, hope I haven't missed her BA.
Damprye~ Hmm that was one hell of a sneeze darl, mind you it did make me gag a little reading that, my tummy aint what it used to be at the moment, lol.....Good luck at your appointment today, hope everything goes great for you.
Minnie~ Good luck at your scan today darl, I will be sitting here in a knot with everything crossed for you, praying you get to hear bubs wonderful little heartbeat. I will be waiting to hear how wonderful it all went darl, sending lots of positive vibes your way....Hugs to you for your nerves as well darl.
The Mrs - Indias Mum - Possum Magic and everyone else I have missed hope you are all really well, big belly rubs to you all.
AFM~ OMG my nipples are so so so so tender and very sore, it kills to wear a bra and it hurts to have my shirt touch them, and I seem to have lost the nausea not sure if that is a good thing......I still feel like none of this is really happening to me and it's all a dream. I am still feeling totally exhausted though, poor little DD is away from school this week as she is really sick with the flue. Apart from all that all is very boring here and not much else to say.

Saw the OB today & Bambi is head down & engaged. Fx she stays that way now :D
Also explains why my belly has suddenly popped & the excess of BHs i've been getting lately, not to mention the increase in back pain.
Wow Alish your getting close, you must be so excited :D
CM i don't miss having the super sensitive boobs & i'm not looking forward to having it again once i start b/fing.
Sorry for the lack of persies but it's about 3am and just stopped by to ask a Q.
Has anyone else ever gotten shooting electric pains running the length of their uterus? Hurts like a mofo
Alish - time is ticking down now! I'm still swollen, heading to the Ob today so shall ask him about it. It's annoying, I'm almost at taking my rings off stage and I'm not even 25 weeks!
CM - just relax on the pg symptoms. I didn't feel pregnant at all this time for ages (certainly made me paranoid). But when it comes down to it, relaxing's the best thing to do for your little one, and there is nothing you can do either way - sooooo much easier said than done. Take a deep breath and wait for that scan, all my hopes and prayers that there's one big, strong, healthy heartbeat there for you to cry at! And for us to cry about when you tell us too :)
Cheshire - that's great news on position :) at least you know everything's down and in the right place even if it is more uncomfy.
Damp - I'm not sure, I can't remember having pain like that with DS, but it sounds like nerve pain, perhaps bubs is pressing on a uterine nerve and causing the pain (shooting pain - nerves, sharp/dull most likely to be muscle) - I hope it settles quickly and was only transient!
AFM, I'm off to the Ob today, will get my referral for my GD test and ask him to talk DH through all the pros and cons of c/s vs VBAC (DH really needs some info and this will be his first appointment this pg). DS felt bubs move yesterday and nearly jumped out of his skin - he does love touching my belly though :D Hope everyone has a great day!
Damp i had something similar the other day, thank goodness i haven't had it again.
I think bub was sitting on a nerve.
WBM Good luck today at the OB :D
Hi Lovely Ladies,
I feel a bit funny joining this group as the TTC after late loss group is my safety zone at the moment but I do have a few questions if that is ok?
I have my first drs appointment tomorrow to confirm preg and get referral for ultrasound and I nearly have a panic attack at the idea of an ultra sound now. The last one I had was the one where they told me there was no heart beat. I should be 9 weeks preg on Sunday by my dates and I'm terrified there will be something wrong. I know it is silly to be so worried as we didnt lose James until my 27th week, everything was normal until then, so should be with this one too. So after all that my question is, have any of you ladies experienced this panic/scared feeling?
I look forward to getting to know you all in here!
Much love to you all
Trace
EmilyJames- First of all, Congratulations. As to your question. I think we all feel anxious and scared a lot no matter when our babies have passed. Noone knows for certain what will happen and I myself am still scared as hell that I wont be bringing my baby home even though it is completely irrational and I have only had first trimester losses. Good luck and hope to see you in here more :)
Alish~ Sending you some bring dilations vibes darl, good luck and hope it all goes really smoothly for you.
Cheshire~ WooHoo for bambi being engaged and ready to go darl, sounds like you had a great appointment with your ob. And I had forgotten about the sore BBS when BFing, so I should remember this pain as it will be back probably 10 times worse hey, well I am hoping I get to that stage. FX
WBM~ Good Luck at your OB appointment today be thinking of you, hope it all goes really well. I am trying my hardest to remain calm, after all I can't change what ever shall be so I am doing my best to sit back and go with the flow. And no doubt if I get to hear bubs HB in a fortnights time I will definately be in tears for a very good reason, :)
EmilyJames~ Firstly I want to say a huge congrats on your BFP darl and I hope this pregnancy goes really well for you and you get your take home bub. Like Damprye said I think its all very normal for us to have panic attacks and be stressing over our little bubs that are growing inside us, we can all be told millions of times not to stress but it dont help one little Iota. I guess the main thing is we are all here for each other in the good times and the not so great times and we will support all our feelings with the utmost care and understanding we all deserve. It's a scary journey to be on but i am thankful to have women to share it with that have been through the same thing I have.. Any time you need to chat darl we are all here, I hope we can make you feel a little more at ease with being PG again after losing your little Angel. Take care darl and I look foward to getting to know you as well. xoxo
EJ - Congratulations on your BFP :) Like everyone said, completely normal to be panicky! I called my Ob at 9 weeks because I wasn't feeling pregnant any more and said "can I have a paranoid Mummy scan". He simply said "there is no reason why you can't have a scan every week, it's better than being stressed out about it". I hope the people caring for you are as understanding. Good luck for your scan - I hope there's a lovely strong heartbeat waiting for you :) :hug: Oh, like Damp, I've "only" had one early loss, but I remain paranoid at times about bringing home a healthy bub. Even now. I think the shine comes off pregnancy a bit, but it doesn't stop the wonder about the whole process and the love we feel for every little bubba held safely inside us!
Cheshire and CM, thanks for your good lucks! We had our appointment and the Ob is very happy with everything, he thinks the swelling is mostly weather related as my BP is 110/70 - normal for me. I'm getting kicks up near my ribs because bubs is carrying high, not a lot down the bottom there, but is a normal size (thank goodness). Still says, if I go into labour naturally, I have the same chances as anyone else of delivering naturally. So we're still firmly on the VBAC path - I think DH is coming around :D Got my GD test referral, I'll have that done in a few weeks time. So yay! All good in there atm, getting lots of strong movement and kicking :D love it. Oh, also heard the heartbeat on doppler which was lovely to hear it ticking away. That's about as high tech as my Ob gets, but I'm happy with that too, he thinks pregnancy and birth are natural things and his job is to facilitate what our bodies do naturally. His reasons for going into obstetrics (said to my aunt when he was an Ob student many moons ago - she was working with him) "I don't think women are given enough respect". This is why women love him!
hi girls,
im going to step out of the thread, my scan showed low fluid and low heart rate and measuring a week behind, said "prognosis guarded" and hcg has risen but only from 12900 to 14800 in over 48 hours so i know where this is heading
wishing you all well
i'll be taking a break from BB too
Minnie~ Darling I am so sorry, I hope it all comes up trumps for you darl thinking of you and sending you some massive hugs. Sending you lots of sticky vibes darl with all my power for this little bub to stick. Hang in there darl.
Minnie i'm so very sorry :hug:
So sorry :hug:
Oh no minnie! I was so hoping you had at last got your dream pg! I hope it's one of those early pg things where things are still a bit hard to predict but can still turn out ok. WIshing for good news for you. I'm sorry x
WBM: good news on the fluid being just the weather. Glad you still have the birthing options you would like. And hope you are enjoying your little rib tickler! I find the kicking and wriggling under the ribs makes me squirm!
EmilyJames: Congrats on your BFP! I certainly felt very nervous before every ultrasound this time and can only imagine what you are going through. My OB (who has his own machine) was kind enough to let me come in as often as i wanted until i felt more confident. Would you be able to see your Dr more frequently for reassurance (as WBM also suggested?)
Cheshire: clever Bambi, in position already! Hope she stays there!
Alish: enjoy your work send off tomorrow night! Yay! And IKWYM about fluid: I don't have that issue this time but i had little 'tyres' of fluid round my ankles in late pg with DD. Not very attractive but my ankles came back not long after I had DD!
Oh... gotta go, DD is awake.. BBL i hope
Oh MM - I feel awful for you, what is the plan from here? I hope and pray that there are still sticky vibes around your little person and send you all the love and :hug: in the world.
PM - I'm not feeling completely full of baby yet (like I'm sure you are), so the kicking doesn't bother me yet - give me another 10 weeks and I'm sure I'll be like "oh stop it already"
Had a good night's sleep and looking forward to a good day today.
MM I am so sorry you have to go through this again :( please know we are here to love and support you xxxx.
Today is my angel's EDD and I feel... Nothing. Maybe it's cause I'm sick and exhausted, but when I have made an effort to think about it, all the sadness I had expected to rise up from the depths isn't there. So now I feel guilty that I don't feel anything... IYKWIM?
Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!
Phee - I hope this makes you feel better. As you know, our angels have the same EDD. I had forgotten until you posted. So obviously there hasn't been an overwhelming sadness here either. I don't know why - it still comes sometimes, but I guess it's not attached to a specific date (I had the same the year after my Dad died, the date didn't seem to be particularly poignant).
Now that I remember it (or have been reminded), I think I will still go shopping this afternoon and buy baby a guardian angel, as the angel who made way for this life will always be looking over her. Sending you a big hug Phee :hug: your angel and your Buggle are lucky to have a Mummy who loves them!
Hi girls- some of you know me, well after a lot of effort I finally got my :bfp: a few days ago and I am on cloud nine!!
Looking forward to catching up with old and new friends, I have decided that this pregnancy is going to make it so only thinking positive thoughts here, even though Dh and my mum are more guarded, which is natural.
Scan in 3 weeks, to see a HB, then discharged from IVF clinic!
best wishes to everyone, saffy xx
First of all - Saffy - congratulations again!!!! I am so very pleased to see you here. I have been following your journey for quite a while now, so this BFP feels very personal. I have decided also that this time your bub is going to make it :-)
Minniemouse - if you are still reading: I am so sad to read about your scan. I want to say that a heartbeat at this rate this early is normal, and everything still may be ok, but I do not want to just say things to make you feel better. We both know it may be ok, but it may not be also. I understand how after all you have been through you need a break from all babt stuff. Take care of yourself, but I will still hope that you will come back in a week or two with good news.
pheebe - you feel nothing because you are already pregnant with the next. After my first m/c I cried first daily, then weekly until I got pregnant again. And then ****! the sadness disappeared. Part of it is the happy pregnancy hormones. Another part, for me at least, is that after m/c I felt like I will never have a baby, and I felt very empty inside. Whent I got pregnant, at least this part of sadness went away. I still think about my lost baby, but not quite with the same despair.
AFM - had my 20-week ultrasound and it did not go that well. Looks like my little girl has something called multicystic dyspalstic kidney. In normal English it means she only has one functioning kidney. Next scan in 4 weeks, but at this point they just want to make sure the other kidney stays healthy because if not, well, I do not even want to think about "if not".
Hi everyone sorry that i have not been around internet has been down will catch up later
Luna i'm sorry to hear that, FX everything goes well with your next scan.
Welcome Saffy wishing you a H&H 9 months :D
Luna - I am very sorry to hear your news. Chances are though that bub's other kidney is fine and you will deal with whatever help baby needs after she is born.
MM - I don't think you should give up just yet. Your HCG is still rising and bub didn't measure that far behind. I am praying for good news for you.
Saffy - So pleased to see you on this board where you belong.
