Well... I think I need to come back in here for my own sanity.
A bit of history (as most of you wouldn't have been in here when I was last ^^ We lost our first baby at 18 weeks, I know I have since gone on to have a healthy and gorgeous DS but this pregnancy is just as nerve wracking, maybe even more so as I seem to be growing the laziest baby in the history of... ever. S/he just barely moves. All our scans have come back fine, but I'm lucky if I feel s/he move once a day... and it's only bubble type movement, no real swift kicks.. DS we could feel from the outside at around 17 weeks! He was a crazy little wriggler... I just wish this little one would start giving me real boots already.
Had some more bleeding last night & this morning. At least it wasn't as much this time.
I wonder if it's because she is so low & putting to much pressure on my cervix.
I swear my brain is getting worse the more pregnant I get lol. To answer someones question, yes bub did attempt an early entrance. At 24weeks exactly I had PROM and threatened preterm labour. Still not sure what is going to happen yet, there is talk of inducing me at 36weeks because of it and am on weekly visits but I want to go to term, possibly longer. If they do decide to bring bub on sooner, I will let them because if that is strongly advised then I have no doubt that they only have mine and bub's best intrest in mind. Speaking of which, I am waiting at the docs again atm lol. Really enjoying just relaxing and letting things run their course rather than stressing. Can't control everything and I have to try my best to come to terms with that
Hi to everyone and I'll be back later for persies
a very early morning to u all.........i havent had much sleep at all.....i have been vomiting all night.........been having period pains and one real bad painful contraction...or what felt like one.....been quiet shivery as well.......its not gastro or anything....defiantly hormone related i think........might wait a bit and try and speak to the midwife at nine...been trying to see how active bubs is as well........
Hey damprye....its good to hear from u....we were all real worried...im glad things have settled a bit.....hopefully bubs can hang in there a bit longer
Damp i'll be 27wks tomorrow, still have occasional spotting but she is moving heaps so i'm not really worried.
I guess i just have a sensitive cervix this time.
I can not wait till Bambi goes head down, it's stupid i know but i have this fear she wont move & i'll end up with a c-sect.
She has plenty of time to move but both of my girls were head down & semi engaged by now so i'm not use to this.
Completely normal, Bambi had the same HR at the same gestation. Like you i thought it was low but i was told it was fine.
I had vanishing symptoms till about 10wks when M/S really kicked & i was sooooo sick.
When is your next appt? These first few months are so scary.
cheshire- yeah my DS was head down and engaged by then as well but have a stubborn one this time that wont stay head down lol. It was good the last couple days but transverse again today lol. Every time I spot, I have to go get a needle in the butt lol.
Melster- Woohoo, congrats, can't wait to see your BA
Damp i'm so grateful i'm Positive not Negative. I would be so over getting needles everytime i had some bleeding.
In the last 2 weeks i've spotted/bleed for 10 of the 14 days.
LD not to long till your next scan & i'm sure everything is fine
oooh Melster! Yay - good luck, can't wait to see your BA
LD - sounds like a great scan result. When I asked my Ob for more scans, he said a scan every week isn't going to hurt your baby and it's better than you being stressed out all the time. Perhaps your dr will be supportive of you having a couple more scans before 12 weeks?
Damprye - that sucks! Hoping s/he stays head down for you next time I'm still so pleased that bubs is safe and sound in your tummy You're a good Mum looking after your baby already!
Cheshire - the spotting must be driving you nutty! Hope it gives it up soon
Helle - glad to see you in here My movements aren't huge either, as long as they're there, relaxation is all we can do
AFM, still ticking along here - over 20 weeks now which is exciting. We have our scan tomorrow, can't wait to see our little invader again.
*Squeal!* Oooooooh! Melster, so excited! Can't wait to hear news. Good luck!
Wannabemum: Enjoy your scan tomorrow. Will you find out the gender?
Cheshire: that's great that you can tell yourself not to worry because baby is very active. Bleeding must be annoying though. I hope it stops soon.
Damprye: it was me that asked about early labour! (i think... ) See, i have baby brain too!) That's great they've been able to keep baby baking this long. I hope you get another few good weeks. I'm being induced at 38 weeks- a little early- but it sounds like your baby might arrive first. Race you!
LysnDan: sending you sticky vibes and hugs. First trimester is stressful. I don't know much about HR but i can tell you my M/S was very brief- lasted from weeks 6- 8. So there's a huge variation in what is 'normal' in terms of when it stops. Maybe another scan before 12wks would help though?
Helle: Congrats on your pregnancy. I can only imagine how difficult it is to relax given your past experience. I can say though that I felt my first baby move from 16wks and I think she moved more in the early days than this baby. Although I first felt this bub at 16wks i then felt nothing for five days and after that it was only regular after 20wks. Even then, baby would have two 'busy' days then two 'quiet' ones with very little movement that i found very stressful. Only in third trimester did baby really move lots every day. So i guess different babies differ... or my memory is faulty and I remember DD moving more than she did because i stressed less at that time.
Alish: Hi! hope you are well. Yes, DD can be cute. You have all that good stuff ahead of you : )
