    Melster why would you be having a C-section? I must of missed that post.
    GL with seeing the ob on Thurs

    Nothing happening here, I went through the garage & found all the girls baby clothes, but when we had flooding a few months back the water got to them & what the water did get the stupid mice the flood brought in then.
    I think i got 10 outfits that we could use. I'm so bummed as i had so much stuff & now i have to pretty much go out & buy it all again.

    Melster: Glad tablets are helping. GL with your decision re c/s vs VBAC. What does your dr think your chances are/risks for a VBAC? I'm asking cos i thought if he's not highly optimistic then a planned caesar would be less stressful than an emergency one (if you needed it because the VBAC didn't work).
    Cheshire: that is a bummer having to start again, especially when you must have had good supplies with two girls already. Though i guess you'll have fun getting to shop for stuff.
    WBM: Thanks for the advice on managing the pulling i'm getting in stomach and back muscles. I'm trying to motivate myself to start swimming or pilates but a spin round the office will have to do for the meantime!
    Alish: I'm from Melbourne! Oh, and thanks for updating on Damprye. Sounds like she's having a terribly rough time of it. I'll be thinking of her and hoping baby holds on a few weeks longer til delivery.
    India's mum: Look forward to hearing about your morph scan. Are you finding out the gender? (I haven't missed something there have i? Did you find out already from amnio?)


    AFM: 28wks today. Hurrah! So impatient to get to the finish line! My good friend had her baby this week. Sooo jealous! I still get nervous about everything turning out ok and can't wait to have baby safely here.

    Hi everyone, look at you all won't be long until you're all holding your bub's in your arms! Welcome to the newbies

    Cheshire - If you need anything let me know, Elise has just grown out of 0000's (I have some gorgeous tie-dyed 0000 bonds wondersuits that my mum brought down with her the other week that Elise never got to wear as they were too small), and will soon grow out of 000's, I even have 000 singlets and t-shirts from K-mart still with their tags on that she'll never get to wear. PM if you want any of them as they'll just get listed on ebay otherwise.

    afm - Gosh, still can't believe that Elise is 2 months old already... where has the time gone? seems to have flown by...
    The way things are looking at the moment I may be joining you ladies again, hubby & I DTD unprotected on CD11, I think I O'd somewhere between CD13 and CD17, and today is CD19 and I've had a pit of pink tinged EWCM... starting to freak out a bit as hubby doesn't want any more kids and I wanted to wait at least 3 years before having another one if we decided to head back down that road again lol

    Hope you're all well, I do get online every now and then, usually I'm just on FB though, or too busy to remember to hop on here, and I do read every few days just to keep up with everything lol

    hugs and belly rubs to you all!

    Thanks Jenna very kind of you

    WB one part of me is excited to shop again but the other part is so ****ed. We lost blankets, towels, beanies, socks, mittens etc...
    At least i found out now & not a few weeks before she was due. Still going to be very expensive but at least i do it slowly & lay by if i have to.

    Hi ladies, thought I'd pop in here (after reading the thread) and join you all (if you don't mind that is)

    Had an u/s on the 1st of June (internal u/s) and we saw a yolk sac measuring at 5w3d - 4 days behind what I thought I was. Due date is between 24th to 28th Jan 2012. Was on my first dose of Metformin, and we had only been TTC for 2 months before finding out I was pg. It took 14 months (after a loss at 7wks in June 07) for us to fall pg with DS and thought it would take that long with this one too (and we didn't have much confidence cause we didn't DTD that much!) Not made a P.A. yet or changed my sig until we have seen a heartbeat.

    Anyways, next appt is on the 10th June. I best head off, as we're supposed to be enjoying our last day in the Gold Coast before flying back home to Perth and having to go back to work Wednesday

    Alish i had a horrible cold not long so i really feel you.
    I lived off strepsils, honey & lemon hot tea plus panadol.
    BTW i was told Polarmine was fine to take just not in your 3rd tri, but your pretty close to reaching your 3rd tri now so not much help.

    Congrats DD & i hope you get to see a nice strong HB on Fri

    Anyone else got that feeling that they are walking around with a pillow strapped to their front? Or one up the jumper? I kind of feel like that when i sit down. Funny old baby bump! That's all.. my random comment for the day!

    Alish: Love the revenge sickie!
    Dark Dreamer: FX and sticky vibes to you!
    Melster: It's certainly a sign that you are in the last few weeks when you start to feel totally over being pregnant. I'm sorry you are feeling so out of sorts. Not fun : (

    possum - i said to dh i feel like i am walking with a big stride or something! i feel like my shoulders really swing back and forth and my belly is just this huge thing out in front of me! everyone is starting to say geeeez youre getting big! and its all the men who come into work too so im hoping they dont mean my a$$ too! lol

    melster - i never thought of the vaporiser.. my mum had one i wonder if she still has it, prob worth investing in one anyway! i used to have to have one on all the time when i was younger! i hope you start feeling better soon.. it must be going around, its exactly how i feel (minus the achy) but i must admit i dont feel as bad today so hopefully yours is only a few days too!

    cheshire - yeah thats what they told me too, im closer to my third trimester than anything so i just dont want to risk it..!? does that make sense??

    hope everyone has a nice day today!

    Morning ladies...

    Angelfish....how far are you now? and how old is the little one? Have you got really bad morning sickness? it must be difficult. I know what it felt like with DD2 and this one....yuk!!!!!!!!! Hopefully you will feel better soon

    PM......my stomach is feeling real heavy down the bottom...its the strangest feeling..kinda like my belly sits on my lap...im more out front this time...and im big..but not as big as last time........Yes i am defiantly starting to feel very close now..its all hit me i think

    Alish...i love the vap especially with DD because she cant have cough medicine or anything. Im defiantly glad i invested in one, i have used it heaps..for myself and DD.....takes the chill of the room and i use the vicks double dose drops...

    ATM...i dont know if its because im in the last stages of pregnancy or i am sick...but i am feeling REALLY pooey........everything is aching, my throats sore, my body is soooooooooooo tired, i cant move very fast and everything is becoming quiet hard to do and i am heaps slower, i just dont have the energy...had a few period pains and braxtons..headaches..and feeling of nausea... so its really hard to tell if its a cold or just the late stages of pregnancy. Im starting to get fluid and my legs feel heaps bigger and dimply...YUK YUK YUK.....if i keep the way i am going i'll have a 15 kilo difference between DD and this baby...but im still feeling very chubby and uncomfortable..cant wait to hit gym again and diet again...

    I have six weeks to go this week and seeing ob thursday so i will speak to him about everything...im no closer to a decision csection v's vbac. I swing from one decision to another depending on how i feel, who i talk to and whats happening...every night with the heart burn i keep saying csection LOL LOL.....guess i will come up with a decision eventually....

    Cant believe i am next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could be three weeks if i have the csection

    Hi girls!!!!!!!!!

    So sorry i havent posted! Life as im sure you can imagine, has been a little busy!

    Our little man is doing so well! He is a very content little newborn.... so far! He is sleeping great and b/feeding is going well

    We have settled back home really well and DH and I make a great team! DH is so hands on and we are enjoying every precious moment of our parenting experience together! Being a mum is even more amazing than i could have ever imagined! We are so in love with this little boy, still cant stop gazing at him!

    I had an operation yesterday to remove the kidney stent so hopefully thats our last hospital visit for a while! NOw we can step forward and get on with our new lives as a family

    We had a beautiful birth, even though a caesar wasnt how i had imagined it, it was still so special! OUr ob held up our little boy over the screen for us to see the sex of him and it was so amazing! He is just perfect in every way! DH was able to cut the cord and give him a cuddle within minutes and then it was my turn for a cuddle! I was able to have him for the hour we were in recovery and he even had a little feed - even though we both had no idea what we were doing! lol!

    Im recovering so well after the caesar, barely had any pain and the incision is healing a treat! I think i am just so busy and still on a high that i havnt noticed it! He is sleeping 3-4 hrly over night which is great but and are we tired! my little eye balls arent looking to crash hot!

    Im finding b/feeding quite good, i was never sure how i would go with it but i really enjoy the bonding time and knowing that i am helping that little body grow is pretty awesome! He had to have 2 formula bottles last night cause i didnt have enough expressed milk after yesterdays operation, he didnt love it but DH finally got him to take it

    Anyway i hope you have all been well and sorry if i have missed lots! I will try to catch up soon but thank you so much for all your well wishes

    xx

    PS - What a surreal moment - making my little man a ticker!! Wow! What a dream! Pinch me!!

    Welcome DD - great to see you in here, hope that is a lovely sticky bub

    Hey everyone,

    Hey Thopes...good to hear from you. Well i hope all is going to be good now with you're kidneys and you get no more issues. How did you imagine the csection would be? Things sound great..im glad everything is going well and you're on top of the moon

    Hey wannabe.......try and get some rest!!!!

    Angelfish..my girlfriend is the same, her daughter is six months i think and she is 3/4months pregnant. She said she hasnt lost any of the weight that she put on and she said her stomach is really big and popped out. She said she is tired but also said she is so busy with her daughter that she sometimes forget she is pregnant. Hopefully the ruflux issues wont last long...is she on anything for it? and a few more weeks until you hit the second trimester so hopefully you can get a second wind there..i felt better then and didnt feel as tired. Have you got any help, anyone that can take her and give you a rest....can she stay somewhere for one night just to give you a break? hows you're partner been?

    atm..........It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to get outa bed this morning, im lucky i only work two days because i dont think i could handle it at this stage of the pregnancy. I cant wait to have a sleep in tomorrow, and its so cold!!!!!!!!!!! I hate when its cold and dark i find it really difficult to get out of bed..its going to be very interesting with a winter baby and having to feed.....

    Im still feeling absolutley terrible!!!!!!!! think its a cold as well as the end of a pregnancy...had a few period pains but nothing much...feeling real heavy down the bottom at the moment

    Dad has finished his radiation now and there cutting him back on his chemo tablets so i am hoping he will feel a bit better. He has been feeling sick and hasnt been eating and drinking and he has actually been quiet grumpy and moody...i am also hoping his eye site will improve a little because he is struggling a bit...
