All is well here, no more bleeding since Weds so i'm hoping that there is no more & i can start to enjoy the pregnancy!

[angelfish]

wow new tread.
Cheshier~ its weird to see my name up there and its far but close also

[damprye]

Just over 6weeks to go. I didn't get my positive result until I was just over 6weeks pregnant. Doesn't feel that long ago but so much has happened in that time. Me and XDP went from living the good life to seperating to him reaslising that he never wanted to lose me and asking to get back together. Other XDP went from being a complete arse to having DS loving having Dad back in his life. Got a house to live in. So many scares that this bub wouldn't make it, including my forewaters breaking too early. Having to transfere hospitals due to complications and now waiting to see how much longer my body is capable of keeping little one in there. I have a scan this Tuesday and another next Tuesday, then if I haven't already popped, I'll find out if I'll be having bub at 36weeks or if we can keep going. We get the steroid injections if I hit 4cm before then. Feeling nervous about what's to come and overwhelmed by all what already has come to be. So excited at the same time though. Everything I have for bub is set up and ready to go and then after bub arrives, it's shopping time to go buy a bugger load of pink or blue things

Sorry about the very me post today, how are you all? Will make sure I do persies next time

[WannabeMum]

damprye - that's a journey and a half. This little bubby is your 2011 miracle s/he can stay in Mummy as long as possible and have a lovely rest before coming into this world!

Cheshire - hope you can enjoy the rest of the pregnancy too - no more bleeding now ya hear!

angel - it's quite bizarre isn't it, thinking you'll have another little person to love (in person on the outside) sooner rather than later. Very strange.

[damprye]

Pash- No I understand completely how you are feeling. Even now I forget heaps. I'll be feeling hell nauseas and wondering why lol. Bub can kick and it makes me jump cos I forget that bub is in there yet in 6weeks roughly, there is going to be a new baby in the house. Still hasn't sunken in and doesn't feel real, just like this pregnancy doesn't feel quite real even with everything going on.

Jenna- yup, not long now and then boom, this thread will have a few less preggos in it lol

India's Mum- I don't think that most peoples sigs even touch the surface lol. Getting close now

Alish- how has your appt gone? Hope you were able to get your questions answered

WBM- Thanks and I hope so too. How are you going?

Hi to everyone else, hope to stalk you all soon

AFM- Getting a weird pain on my left hand side. Kinda like how it feels when my gall bladder is playing up, but wrong side. Will ask my OB about it tomorrow, also have to let him know I've started losing my plug again *yuk*
Other than that, taking it easy and enjoying bub being an active little bugger, even when it hurts lol. Nothing better than rugging up in front of my favourite show with a wriggler in my belly

[damprye]

Alish- I'm fussy as well so definately wont be having it in tea form if I do try it either lol.

PM and WBM- I don't know who to have as my other support person either.

AFM- Feeling like crap today. Had nightmares all night again and throwing my guts up now I'm awake. At least I see my OB today and go for my scan. Looking forwards to seeing bub again Trying to think positively and hoping for good news but TBH, I'm really st!tting myself and kinda wish I wasn't going alone. Better get my bag packed again so I'm prepared for worst case senario. At least by being prepared I can feel somewhat in control.

[damprye]

Just got home from my OB's. He is concerned about bub's growth rate and fluids are still low. Good news is bub is head down, although not engaged but that was a good thing because unlike DS who was fully engaged by 28weeks, I actually got to see bub's big chubby cheeks. Next weeks U/S is make or break time.

[WannabeMum]

Damprye - I hope things improve, but worst case scenario and baby's delivered at 35 weeks, you held onto this bubs for longer than it seemed a few weeks ago. You're already a conscientious Mum to this bub I hope things improve and I will keep my for you in the coming week.

[angelfish]

Dampry~ i hope the nxt us is a good one.

AFM~ i have been really tired Honor had her six month shots and the dr finally noticed that her left eye is lazy and that her neck is an issue. For the eye i need to take her into the city up her to see a special eye dr on friday she might need an eye patch or surgry. For her neck we need to get her to look to the left more becouse her right side is stronger i have been telling these drs that there was something wrong for a long time

[Melster]

hey ladies...

just popping my head in to say hello and say i miss u all.....and as much as i wanted the prgnancy over and am enjoying not having heart burn and all the pain....im strangly missing being pregnant and being in here........

my little angel has a cold so im a bit worried.....pretty tired although she is sleeping and heaps better than dd1....i am doing a bit tho...just cant sit still.....having trouble with my milk supply and dd2 putting on weight...so its all happening here...

[Khaleesi]

Nothing interesting happening here,

Damp hope your little stays put a little longer but if s/he doesn't you've done well to bake them for so long

[damprye]

Cheshire- Maybe nothing new but always interesting No matter how much it happens, I am always fascinated with bub kicking. How's your bump coming along?

Melster- Hope your supply picks up soon.

Angelfish- Sorry to hear about Honor, even more so that it took them so long to listen to you.

WBM- Thanks hun

AFM- Just thought I'd share- My cousin completed her family today with the safe, although early, arrival of her little boys. They were born at 36w2d via c-section

[possum magic]

Damprye: You've done really well. Even if baby is early now s/he should be big enough to do well. Much better than a few weeks ago. Oh, and congrats on your cousin's twins!
Angelfish: I hope everything will go well with Honor now that they have caught up with your mummy's intuition. My sister had a lazy eye as a kid treated with glasses i think. All was fine by the time she was a teenager.
Melster: Hope you are managing ok. Sorry little one has a cold. They catch everything sooner than the first child don't they? My friend's 2nd bub had her first cold by about 2wks of age too.
Wannabemum: Yes, ikwym. My DH was very supportive during labour with DD but he found it very hard to watch me in pain and i want the support for him as much as for me! So that he can take a break if he needs it. It sounds funny but i think i'd rather be in labour than watch someone in labour so i understand where he's coming from. Thanks for suggestions about how i might find a second support person. I'll think it over.
Cheshire: no news is good news. Glad you have had no dramas recently at least!
Pash: Hi, it's been a while. Good to see your ticker moving along!
Alish: I'm a little taller than you but I carry very low too. Someone told me this week: you've dropped. And i thought... um no, it's always been that low! I was the same with DD. Hey, enjoy your birthing classes. Do they start this week?

Hello to anyone i missed!
AFM: On maternity leave now. Hooray!!!!

[India's Mum]

Possum Magic - Woo hoo for maternity leave!! I am likely to work up until the birth but I only do two days a week and I've cut my hours back on those two days.

Angelfish - I guess it's good that honor's problems have now been recognised so that you can do something about them. By next year she will likely be be fine and enjoying her new sibling.

Damprye - Good to you about your darling nephews. Can't believe how your ticker is still moving along nicely.

Melster - Sorry to hear bubs has a cold but good to see you in here again. You have been missed.

AFM - Failed both my glucose tests so now I am being treated for gestational diabetes. I have to see if it can be managed by diet over the next few weeks. I need to ***** my finger 4 times a day and test my blood. Seems a bit surreal though as all my results have been fine. Guess the trick is to not go around drinking big bottles of glucose! I think I can avoid that.

Does anyone know if being pregnant changes your response to insect bites? I have been bitten by something and the swelling is huge and painful. Haven't had that since I was a kid.

[alish]

morning

possum - ahh 2 weeks left of work for me! im finding it very hard though! nope havent started my class yet - its on the 5th aug and it goes all day so im looking forward to it - mostly for dh so he feels a bit more involved and knows whats going on!
well ive been thinking the same thing - maybe people just havent noticed that ive always been low!

indias mum - sorry about the gd, a girl in my belly buddies group has it too..
nope i have no idea about the bites sorry but i have heard that being pregnant can bring up new allergies to some things.
it happened to me with some face cream last year! i used to wear it all the time and i used it for the first time after being preg last year and my eyelids and lips were all swollen! maybe go to the drs just to be safe?

dampyre - congrats on the twins, how exciting

hello to everyone else, i hope youre well

afm - im good.. having bh this morning, sh*t sleep last night, sore back, just killed a massive white tail spider! i HATE spiders! thats probably the 5th spider weve ever had in the house and weve been here 3 yrs in august!

have a nice day!
