It already makes me sad to think that I might only have one more pregnancy - and I'm barely started this one! I can understand already why people have another baby several years after the "last"
Morning ladies,
I cant believe I'M NEXT :o:o:o......is there anyone close to my date?
Its quiet scary actually, probably because last time i didnt go into labour on my own. I was induced 3 weeks early due to no fluid and was induced on the day he told me so i had no time to think, had an epidural before i went into labour..i only felt pain here and there and down my right side when it hadnt worked properly and was there from 12pm and by 10pm i had a c-section. It felt like it went really quick tho.........
So i really dont know what going into labour is truely like and going to you're due date and the pain etc. So only just now have i started getting a bit nervous and excited...
Im also starting to wonder what it will be like with a 3yr old who is quiet independant/stubborn/strong and with me all the time..and a baby. Im wondering how she will cope and how i will cope with the no sleep again and feeding again...im a tiny bit worried ill get post natal again, but its different circumstances this time so i am hoping and praying that i wont. Its only because i am a bit down with dad, and hubby...that im a bit worried about all the hormones and no sleep and the shift in our life....
I worte hubby a 4 page letter and left it there...HOPE and pray he actually reads it...
Wannabemum....yeah i understand...my cousin just had her tubes tied after 3 kids..she had it done while she had her c-section and i think she struggled with it a bit. She new she didnt want anymore but it still upset her. I am the same..this will most likely be my last one...im worried i havent enjoyed the pregnancy enough for my last pregnancy..i dont enjoy it now but i missed being pregnant last time and having a new born. My dd got the box of tampons out, but i was at the SHOPS :redface: and quiet embarrased when i noticed LOL
Mildez....Thats no good everyone is sick...it always spread through the house and is so horrible.....hopefully you are all ok and get better soon. I know it does go quickly..and must be hard when its the last one...try and treasure each day and each moment and take lots of photos..
Cheshire.....:partysmiley::cheer: congratualtions on the little pink bundle...
Hey alish and ferrals
Thopes....good to hear from you, im glad everything is going really well....give Noah a cuddle from me
Bec...let us know how you're scan goes..praying bubs is safe and happy in there....
Hi ladies!
Scan went really well. One definite little sack and fetal pole and possibly another! It was just the u/s thing at my FS's office so I'm booked in for one at the proper Melbourne IVF ultrasound place next wednesday to see heartbeat and check how many babies are in there! I'm still just taking it one step at a time, and trying to stay calm, but it was nice to get good news for a change!
How's this for amazing?! I went to show my sister the u/s photo and she had just POAS and she's pregnant too! We're a week and a half apart! I'm so excited to be sharing this journey with her.
Melstar- the epi is always there if you need it, but I think every labour is different so take it as it comes. It's an overwhelming experience (well mine was), no matter if it's your first or fifth. It will work out :)
WBM- after all my issues, I know this will be my LAST!!! But when others have babies I always want one too!
Hi to everyone else! I forgot to write down what was on the last page, so I'll do more persies later!
Bec
T-hopes: so nice to hear from you. Not sure how you got on BB from hospital but glad you did. Wonderful to hear you are on a high : )
Bec: that is great news! Oh how lovely that you and your sister can be preggers together! It's great sharing the journey.
Mildez: I hope J is ok and it's not whooping cough. Though i'm imagining if she had a serious dose you'd know about it by now if she's been coughing for two weeks already and managing ok? So hope it's just a run of the mill annoying virus and she is well again soon.
Melster: Are you going to try for a VBAC? Or are you having a planned c-section give that you had an emergency one last time?
AFM: I feel like the old pelvic floor is starting to take some strain. Feels a bit tender and at times (TMI warning) i feel a bit nervous going to the loo: scared of putting too much pressure on it in case i damage something or something falls out! Do you reckon i could still do some exercise to strengthen pelvic floor and get in shape for labour (like Preggie Bellies classes) or is 26wks too late? Also, starting to think seriously about labour and how i feel about trying to 'go natural' again and who my support person might be. DH was great last time but found it stressful and it was great having my best friend there as 2nd support person. But she has small baby now and not sure if she can come. Not sure whether to organise a doula.. but what if i find it too much and decide for an epidural? Would the doula give me a hard time? (I went into labour naturally last time at near 40wks but this time i need induction at 38 and i've no idea what that will be like. Scared it'll be more painful).
Bec - congratulations! I know what a relief it is to find a pregnancy in the uterus after an ectopic. And possibly two! I envy you that you get to share your pregnancy with your sister, I have a sister too and I would love for her to be pregnant with me.
Possum magic - I'd say take the epidural, do not try to be a hero. I was induced for my first baby. You just do not get the relief from contractions at all with induction. Normally, that is what I heard not what I experienced, you supposed to get "peak and valleys", that is, a contraction and then the pain goes away for a bit until the next contraction. When they induce you, it just feels like you have an awful painful contraction that takes your breath away and after that a slightly smaller contraction, but still very painful. Just peaks, no valleys at all. And it can go on forever, my baby was born more than 24 hours after I was induced, after some 13 hours of big contractions. I wanted to do the "natural" birth too, but I asked for epidural pretty fast, the contractions were so bad, and I am really glad I did. After the epi, the birth of my daughter was truely a magical experience.
Hello Ladies...I am getting super nervous about approaching the dreadful 5th and 6th week of my pregnancy. This is when ALL of my m/c happen...Hopefully afterwards I can feel better..
Bec- I really hope this one is sticky for you! How exciting to be pregnant same time as your sister and maybe have twin
hey all
cheshire - yay for a girl!!
bec - twins?? really?? how exciting! i hope there is two in there!! congrats for your sister also!
possum - hows it going? i hear you about the falling out thing, i sneezed and wet my pants the other day haha! ive started to do pelvic floor excersises but ive always always had a weak bladder..
how r u going luna?
melster - you must be next.. how exciting :) everything will be fine and you will find your rythmn with two kids, how are things with hubby did he read your letter?
the mrs - dont stress this will be your sticky baby
wbm - im sad that dh only wants 2 kids, im loving being pregnant i could do it forever lol..
sorry for anyone ive missed i was being lazy and only read the last page ;) how r u all going?
i think ive been having bh.. i dont know for sure but ive been getting pains down there.. nothing bad but enough to make me uncomfortable, normal??????
possum - a friend of mine has just become a preggie bellies instructor and she said that you can join and do classes up to and over your due date as long as you join before 30 weeks (so you get the benefits) - it's never too late to do pelvic floor exercises! When you're doing a wee, stop the flow - that's what it should feel like. Don't do them too often when you're on the toilet, it's not good for your bladder, but once you know what that feels like, do sets of 10 three times a day - hold each one for 3 seconds. That's only 30 seconds 3 times a day! Oh re a doula? I think they're there to support your decisions, so it may be worth posting in the doula section and asking for advice/contact from someone - I've never looked into it, but I've thought about it!
bec that's great news!! So glad the scan went well - now just to wait for next week :) Hopefully little heartbeat(s) to accompany the little fetal pole(s)! And so exciting about your sister - that will be an awesome journey together. :)
Jess - good luck getting through the next couple of weeks - at least you've got DD to keep you distracted! Are you feeling well?
alish - I think pregnancy's so varied that just about everything can be considered normal! Still lots of stretching to go in there too - if it gets painful or worrying, call your hospital/Ob. Pregnancy's great isn't it :)
I'm feeling pretty good about this being a sticky pregnancy now :) I can feel my uterus getting bigger almost daily - it's a good thing. I'm off to the acupuncturist today so hopefully he can help my back.
Hey girls who know murrycod check out the BA.
Tegam, mildez, dory, reet forshelby anyone who i have missed we will have to go into the parenting after m/c and loss thread if murrycod gets her behind back here as we have all had our bubs different months so can't be in the same baby buddies group.
Just a thought i have been talking to our murrycod she is doing great just needed a break from BB and then time got away so she felt terrible and didnt know how to come back after such a long time.
Well we will tell her DONT' BE SILLY GET BACK HERE and fill us all in on your princess.
Thats a great idea Ferrals. If it wasn't for a few of you lovely ladies here I would leave completely as although I have a baby its official my ttc and pregnancy days are over at a tender age of 28 :crying: and been on BB makes me want another and reminds me of what I want everytime I read about an annoucement etc. Obviously I'm thrilled for everyone as its such an excited time (and scary for many of us that are worried about getting a take home baby at the end of it) but its probably not good for my head. The thing is I could probably have another but I don't think my marrage would survive. Although DH would have another and be happy its what happens after the baby comes. If I want to stay married then this is the only way :crying: Hopefully MurrayCod will come join us in the other thread. Would love to hear about her daughter.
Bec CONGRATULATIONS on your wonderful scan. I too hope there are 2 in there next scan you have. How wonderful. Wish I had twins lol. That would have solved my problem.
T-hopes I hope everything is going brilliantly with your littleman Noah. And your kidney issues are resolving.
The Mrs hope the next 2weeks flies by and you can see your healthy little bubba sqirming around in there.
Possum Magic If I lived closer (not that I know where you live) I could be your doula ;) I'm not a doula I'm a middy but I've been thinking of swapping. The problem with been a middy is the work load where as if I was a doula atleast I could devote all my time to my one lady. It would make such a difference. When I had J I had an epidural after pethidine as I completely lost the plot, Swearing, screaming etc. It was embarrassing (my 1st bub was drug free, my 2nd I had pethidine) The midwife whom was lovely only came in my room to give me peth and then to help the anaethetist put the epidural in. Whilst he was preparing she was encouraging me to use the gas and it worked so well. I needed her there telling me what to do (been a midwife DOES NOT help you birth yourself lol) although I'm all for epidurals if needed I can't help but wonder if I had her there a little more if things would have been different. I know her presence the little I had it really calmed me down. stopped me swearing and I actually coped during the contraction instead of screaming the place down. I don't blame her as she had 2 other women (I delivered just before me and the other was on a plane to sydney in prem labour so I was not her priority) I think you do what you do to get through it and hopefully you have some wonderful support people to help you along the way.
Better get cleaning.
thanks ferrals!
Mildez-I know exactly what you are saying being in here is messing with my mind i miss being pregnant and yern for another but i really dont want any more.
So for all the girls who like me are hanger's on'ers i have moved over to the parenting after m/c and loss thread where i found Kitfareie and Forshelby and Audax and hopefully T hopes will follow with Mildez and bring Dory and Reet better show up aswell and Tegam and i will drag Murrycod who else do we need to wrangle up?
Ooooh oooh Dont forget Iona Macca.
hello ladies...
I need some opinions please.......
Ok spoke to my midwife.....heres the situation.....everything is going ok with this baby. Im measuring 33 weeks and hb 144'...........
my ob goes away from the 3rd to the 13th july...and im due the 19th.....and because i have had a csection he wants me to have another one so i would have the baby 3 weeks early on the 1st july.....he would have to give me steriods for her lungs......
If i want to go naturally she said he will not let me go much over 40 weeks...like a day or two. He wont induce me or give me those drugs. And he wont let me labour for long....and any distress and he will csection me anyways. She said in most of the cases it will be likely in the end ill have to have a csection.....
His cover when he is away apparently wont vbac at that hospital if i go into labour and i would have to go to another hospital or ask my ob to ask one of the other obs...
Because i got pnatal before and never held dd straight away and didnt bond with her and my milk had trouble coming in im wanting my body to go into natural labour....but im worried the baby will come while my obs away....
I dont know which way to go...im really in two minds about it........in ways i want to go into labour naturally and experience a vaginal birth or at least try.....other wise will i regret not trying?? But if i did have a csection i could organise my dd...someone to look after dad etc...
What would u do?
Melster- this might sound airy fairy, but what does your heart say? I had an emergency c/section last time and I plan to have another one but I have some things I want done differently this time. Would you be worried about not having your OB? How much stress would the situation put on you either way? Can you book in for c/s when OB gets back (so bubs isn't 3 weeks early)? Maybe choose 2 situations you are happy with and Pro/Con a list for each. (Can you tell I'm a list person?!)
ALish- my sister had bh with her 2nd pregnancy from 20 weeks. She delivered a healthy baby on her due date. But if you're worried or they get worse, go see your OB or go straight to the hospital. It's probably just things getting ready, I reckon.
WBM- I hope your back is feeling better. Did the acupuncture help?
possum- Surely a doula would support you either way? If you had in your birth plan that you are willing to have an epi if you feel you need one? (I love epidural! It saved my sanity after a long 30 hour labour which was induced. That's just me though)
hi to all you new mums and mums to be I've missed.
AFM: Just a quick question. SOmeone (I can't remember who) said they had early ovarian pain and it turned out to be a cyst? I've had a lot of pain this pg and I just assumed that it was becasue it was only 2-3 months ago I had abdominal surgery and it was still healing. Yesterday at the scan, I ask FS and she said "I'm not surprised. You have a massive cyst on your right ovary." I didn't think much of it, but I am worried about it now. Good old Dr Google...I read a corpus luteul cyst can cause issues with progestrone? Anyone had trouble with this or heard anything else about it?
Bec
Bec just a super quick one. The corpus luteum cyst is the cyst in which the egg jumps out of the ovary. Its basically the follie in which contains the egg when you ovulate and it produces progesterone. If you don't get pregnant that cycle the corpus luteum cyst is reabsorbed and the new cycle begins (with AF) If you get pregnant which you did the cyst increases in size and produces the progesterone until the placenta takes over (fully at around 12-14weeks) so every lady that ovulates you can see the cyst on scan and thats why they can tell which ovary produced the goods for that month. In pregnancy they can get huge which is completely normal but they can be very painful. Mine with J was so painful it was actually more painful then my ectopic pregnancy. I was sure my tube was rupturing but 3scans later showed no ectopic. So I'd say your completely normal. And yep normal to be painful.
Thanks Mildez! I fell better now. I had a large cyst when I had my ectopic too (just to add to the pain!) and I was worried becasue the pain felt similar. Thanks for letting me know,
Bec
bec......i really dont know....i can see things on both sides....pros and cons to both...........i really would like to have my ob.....dont think they will do it just before im due just incase u go into labour naturally...so it would have to be 3 weeks before........im just worried i will regret it if i dont at least try to go natural......but i really want my ob.......sorry i dont know alot about cysts....hope ur ok tho
keep visiting here tho ferrals...we will miss u all.....i will c u over there soon tho
wannabe...glad ur feeling good about things
alish.......i think people can have bh really early on and some quiet frequently....i get tightenings but they stay hard for ages...i think as long as they dont cause u pain then its alright
the mrs....hey how are u feeling
pm....think its good at any time to do ur excerises for the pelvic floor...i do them when i remember
hey everyone else
