Sorry, I've been MIA on work days - don't really get near a computer except for at work where I would feel guilty if I jumped on here!
Mel - so close!! Excitement time (and boring time when it doesn't happen, lol)
alish - time to buy some breast pads - watch out for sexy time leakage if you've started leaking!!
Lauz - if you want to start any meds, most of the anxiety/depression ones are not safe during pregnancy, go see your dr for some advice. I hope the hypnotherapy is working for some better sleep! Sleep helps everything
Chesire and India's Mum - glad things are boring, this is a good thing in pg
We're just in the pre-20 week scan holding pattern. Looking forward to seeing little treasure again, although by the boots I was getting in the belly yesterday s/he's still in there swimming around Love saying good morning to my bump.
Wannabemum...LOL i love getting on here while i am at work its always heaps easier than using my phone..my phone is quiet annoying actually. When is you're scan booked.....yeah i know im so close..31/2 weeks now and counting....its just a teaser because you question every pain and bump..constantly thinking will i be early, late..
Cheshire.....yeah kinda got my bags packed. Cant put some things in there because i am using or wearing them at the moment. Im hoping and praying i can throw some things in there when i start labour or get a little closer. Other wise mum or hubby will have to bring in. Just have to make sure my washing and ironing is all up to date so its not in the wash when i need it. Got some pressies for my DD from the baby and DD has a little toy for the baby and i have to get something else.
Hey Alish...how you going?? Im struggling with names this time and i havent told anyone..ill PM you...i dont know why i am starting to panick because im not 100./. sure..dont want to name her and then regret the name...maybe its just hormones..maybe because with DD it was so easy, no question and had it from the start. Didnt even have to look for names...Ob hasnt actually said a size yet for me, think im measuring a week a ahead. Dont think it will be tiny tho. thats great about the head. Hopefully she will slip right out ..with my cold i ended up going to the dr's and being put on antibotics that was safe..so maybe if it doesnt go away go to the dr's
Indias mum....i have 3 names but im not sure LOL i can see myself being in hospital and not having a name LOL......we did have a name picked but im not sure.
Tegam...i know not long now. I cant believe it......
Hello everyone else
ATM......i have been feeling quiet sick and been throwing up for the last few days its like when i first got morning sickness. and had a little bit of the runs yesterday! a bit of period pain and tightenings and some mild back ache......think my body is defiantly preparing but dont know if its just teasing me and ill still have a few more weeks yet. See the ob tomorrow so i will see what he says...baby is defiantly slowing down and running out of room. Im defiantly running out of energy and puff.......its defiantly dragging thats for sure, but i think because thats all you have to think about...its hard not to with all the symptoms and the big belly and the unknown...and because i havent experienced a natural birth either im starting to wonder about labour etc......
We get dads MRI results back today..not looking forward to that as i think he is going down hill a bit and im not expecting fantastic results.
melster~ your so close. Sorry that you have not been feeling well i was the same way with Honor the last few weeks felt the worse.
AFM~ i had my scan baby look prefect hb of 179. Got home from the scan did some house work went to the bathroom and there was a little blood i started to freak out and started to cramp went to the er worst er i have ever been to there was a room full of teens or early twenty year olds making fun of a mentally chanllge group of girls. The women in charge called sercurty and most of them got kicked out. Then i found out that there was a three hour wait and they did not have a ultrasound person in until the am. So i waited until am could not sleep went into the obs and the dr said this early with the doppler dont know if he would be able to find a hb so dont worry when he put the probe to my belly he found it!!!!! He said that the blood was old and that everything looked fine but he could not give me a reason says some women bleed with no reasons. So here i sit worried still
angel - sounds like it's nothing to worry about. If the heartbeat is still there, still strong and he said it was old blood - try not to stress out too much! I know that's pretty dang impossible, but just keep an eye on yourself - if it gets worse, just call him back straight away. How many weeks are you now?
Mel - Still got quite a while huh? Well, not really, but a few more weeks anyway. Don't put too much pressure on a name - there's nothing wrong with meeting your little girl first then deciding - she's allowed to be un-named for a little while My scan's booked for 7 July, so a couple of weeks still. Looking forward to it! I hope your Dad's MRI results are positive - and by positive I mean improving or stable.
had my ob appointment today and scan.......he said baby is 6 pd something and probably by birth 8 pd......the unforunate thing is now baby is sunny side up...great........why is everything heading towards csection.....dd was the same...i think my pelvis maybe encourages them to go that way....i defiantly dont want painful back labour.......ill see the midwife on the 7th and see babies position then and decide if i want to have the csection on the 14th....think at 11am or whether i try for natural..........im reading up on sunny side up now ansd its not sounding that great..especially with my previous section............
Angelfish.....im glad everything is ok.....sorry about the scare tho...it happened to me and i freaked out
wannabe.....they have to wait for dad to have another mri to compare....they have increased his swelling tablets because he thinks thats the cause for him not eating and drinking and the confusion so we will find out in the next few days......they have said they wont operate again but there are other things to do when the tumor starts growing again
Mel if by sunny side up you mean posterior then please don't let that put you off a VBAC.
DD1 was posterior & why it was more in my back it was also very doable. My labor with her was completely drug free & only 7hrs long once i hit the active stage.
In the end you'll make the right choice for you both & good luck next week
Saw my OB today & everything is going well, she s still laying transverse & i really hope she turns soon as i don't think my bladder can take it anymore lol
Life has been hectic lately so i've been reading but like a few others not posting so much. Sorry!
Angelfish: sorry you had a scare. As Dr says, bleeding can be normal so I hope that's it for you and no more scares. I've also lost track of how many weeks you are. Have you got another scan booked?
Melster: Sounds crummy with the vomiting and feeling icky. Does sound like your body is getting ready to go (unless you have caught a bug of some kind?) No wonder you are feeling over it all.
Lauz: Congrats on your pregnancy. Sorry to hear you are finding things hard going. I hope you can get some support via counselling (with or without medication).
THe Mrs: Hope you feel better soon too. FIrst trimester can be a very stressful time and hard to get excited when you've had bad experiences in the past. Roll on trimester 2!
Cheshire: Transverse? Ouch! Hope bubs turns around soon too. IKWYM about paying the OB: also ouch! I've got two bills due in the next month. OB has been good about letting me spread out payments though.
India's mum: How you going? Can you feel bub move much yet? I found that made the pregnancy more exciting (although i still stress at times about whether the movement is the 'right kind'). I felt like the pregnancy was going so slowly yet now I look back and think: wow, can't believe i've got this far and it's 10 weeks since my 20wk scan! Where did the time go?
AFM: fighting a cold i caught from DD (who has had a cough or cold in some form or other for 5weeks. Sheesh!) Baby had a couple of quiet days last weekend and I was stressing a lot but then it's been tapdancing again the last two days so i'm happy. Starting to feel more uncomfortable though: my tummy pulls and i have a sore spot at the top of my stomach and in my back, especially after sitting down for a while. Also started feeling quite breathless at times this week. I didn't remember that happening quite this early with DD but my memory may be a bit off. Will ask OB about it tomorrow. Also keen to know which way baby is lying: last time i was checked- 3wks ago- it was head up feet down. Getting excited about finishing work: 4wks to go. Hooray!!!
Love saying good morning to my bump.
