AFM~ i heard the baby hb on the drs doppler yesterday i was so happy i go in on monday for a scan to make sure that the baby will be okay
It has been quiet - I thought I'd get on here and have to read pages! We had a lovely weekend away, and today is just me and DS which is lovely - although he just bumped his head and had a good old cry. My belly is ever expanding which is lovely, feeling more movement which is also lovely.
Melster - I hope you're feeling better today, sick leave's there for a reason chick - if you're not well, stay at home!
angel - that's great news about the hb :) Hope your bf has come around too!
Much love and belly rubs to all.
yes DEFIANTLY TOO QUIET ON HERE....comeon ladies i need the distraction!!!!! :)
I think the whole pregnancy i might have had 3/4 days off..but i only work 2 days a week...and i only had a day of in the last couple weeks so i was feeling guilty
Angelfish..im glad you got to hear bubs..hope everything goes fantastic monday...hows DH?
Tegam..thanks...how are you?
Just a quick one - An hour and 20 minutes till my scan and still haven't finished even 300ml of my water and already needa pee.... UGH!
Oooh that'll be me tomorrow DD! GL for the scan!
Oooh DD - you must be about to head in for your scan, I hope it's an awesome one! Good luck and I hope your bladder didn't burst!
phee - the main thing is be well hydrated and don't pee for a few hours before the scan. You don't need to be busting, just have a relatively full bladder.
Melster - the working only a couple of days makes it hard to take a day off doesn't it. But if you need it... I'm only 2 days a week in the office, and the other day they were talking about who was due holidays etc and the fact that I haven't had one since I came back didn't even come up! But then, they think the days we have at home, and maternity leave are holidays. Sometimes I hate working with men and people without children... Certainly makes the guilty feeling about getting pregnant annoying!
India's mum: yes it was me that asked about gender of baby. But s'ok! Happy to get a surprise along with everyone else. Really hard to know and not let slip though isn't it? It's a shame your sister got so mad at you when you accidentally said s/he. People are often delighted when someone slips up and they get 'inside information'! Oh, and I can only imagine how long your pregnancy feels when you've spent so much time being pregnant the last two years. For me, i felt that way during the first trimester: because i'd spent 8mths in the first trimester over about 18mths! But i feel different now because this is as far as I've got since DD and it reminds me more of my experience being pregnant the first time (which ended well with my beautiful DD). What i mean is, i'm able to enjoy this bit more because i was starting to think i'd never get this far again with a lovely big tummy and a kicking baby. Having said that, i can't enjoy it quite as much as the first time: too anxious to get this little one out in the world and know s/he is safe and sound.
Melster: Sorry you have been so sick. IKWYM about how it's hard to take time off when working part-time. I feel really guilty doing it and it's hard to avoid: between DD and I there is often a reason for me to be home sick or looking after DD when she is. And when you only work part-time it's hard to make up the work I find. (Well in my job anyway). Lucky for me i have a very child friendly job and they don't give me a hard time about sick leave (it's mostly my own guilt that's the problem). Hope you feel better soon.
Darkdreamer and Phebee: good luck with your scans! Do they still do the full bladder ones? My more recent early scans have all been internal. I know that sounds worse but actually i haven't found it uncomfortable at all; less uncomfortable than a full bladder in fact. I remember my earliest scan with DD nearly four years ago where i did need to drink beforehand and sitting in the waiting room feeling sooo uncomfortable trying not to wet myself!
Alish: How are you going? Any news from Damprye?
Tegam: Welcome back after your ban! I know i should ban myself as well and get some things done to prepare for baby etc... but i just can't bring myself to do it! Too addicted.
Jenna Jayen: Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you had mixed feelings about the way things turned out in terms of your baby being so young still yet liking the idea of another baby. I hope you continue to feel ok.
Wannabemum, Cheshire, Cheezelmonster and anyone else i've missed hope you are all well and enjoyed the long weekend. DH and I had a day just the two of us on Monday and did some cleaning and sorting to make room for baby in the spare bedroom. Then went out for lunch together. Nice day and made me feel good that we'd made a start on the baby's room (even though baby will probably sleep in our room in a bassinet for a while).
AFM: You know how they tell you to be aware of whether the baby is moving regularly? Well I do, and sometimes I stress when baby is quiet but mostly it's ok. But i also read that if there is 'frantic' kicking this can also be a sign of baby in distress. How are you meant to know what that feels like? Sometimes the baby does these funny shuddery movements that worry me a bit and I hope the poor thing isn't getting tangled in there. But it's probably just when i am sitting forward and squashing it a bit instead of sitting up nice and straight and letting it have lots of room. Still, hard for me not to worry. But mostly i enjoy the movement. Last night baby managed to poke out in three places at once. Like a little octopus! Arms and legs everywhere!
possium magic~ When i was as far along as you were with honor i would fell the shudder movments too i would get all freaked out scared about the baby having problems but i got told that everything was fine. I hope that might help also about the lack of movement i swear honor would go two days of none stop moving then go take three days off.
AFM~ My BF is kinda of coming around he is worried that i might lose this one and were are we going to get the money for this one. But life is still stressful when it comes to his kids i dont want to sound mean but He wants to hold honor back on things in the future all becosue his kids who dont live with him never got a chance to do it.
hey all
possum - im going good thanks! not much happening here really.. she is going mental, moving all the time and not just little movements, like full on rave parties! its always been this way though, so im not worried.. sometimes it hurts me but id rather feel everything than nothing..
havent heard anything from dampyre in a week or so
jenna - sorry for your loss..
melster - how are you feeling?
phee - how are you?
darkdreamer - how did your scan go?
hi tegam!! hows it going?
hi cheshire, cheesel & anyone i forgot.. hope youre well also..
we had a pretty good long w/e - we didnt do too much, just went up to swifts ck to watch the mower races & then up to hotham to play in the snow, theres so much already! on monday i sorted out all the hand me downs from my sister, i seriously only have to buy singlets.. i have so many clothes, half of them are brand new.. i have more blue jumpsuits than anything and dh isnt too keen on putting a girl in blue so im not sure if i buy diff colour ones?
alish - I didn't think I'd have a problem with putting a little girl in blue if this one's a pink bundle, but I don't think I'll be able to! I'd buy a few non-blue ones. You wont be buying much that way, but will obviously have a little girl. Best n Less are really cheap! Worth a visit to pick up a few cheapies. Or just wait to see how much you get given - give people an idea of where you're short of stuff and let them fill the gaps. DH can always visit the supermarket while you're in hospital if he needs to!
angel - I'm glad your bf is coming around - I hope he stops feeling guilty if he is able to offer Honor more than his other kids. It's tough, my Mum was a sole parent pensioner until I was about 14, so my younger brother got more opportunities simply because the finances were different when he was a bit older - it irked at the time, but we understood it was just the way it was, and none of us missed out on what we needed. I hope he just gives all the love in the world to all his kids and enjoys the time he gets to spend with them :)
possum - try not to freak out too much about the movement. The main thing is regular movement, DS would always give a wriggle if I poked him when he'd been quiet for a while - some people swear by hot/cold drinks, or fizzy ones to make baby move. As for the "frantic" movement - who is meant to know what that means! Just enjoy the movement.
looking forward to some scan news from DD and phee!
Hi Everyone
I have been reading the thread and found I am not alone.
I am currently pregnant (only 7.5 weeks) after undergoing IVF. I had a misscarriage last year in October and I have not been the same since.
I have not slept properly since that time but more recently after finding out I am pregnant it has turned into severe Insomnia (7 weeks of it!). I only get 2 hours sleep a night.
I think I am turning into a mental case!
I have an internal ultrasound today and I am terrified.
My DD is at home with me today so he can look after our toddler :)
I just need to get some sleep and then I may feel human again.
Ha, I really am asleep. I meant DH instead of DD
I'm here nothing much happening tho.
Lauz congrats on your pregnancy & i hope everything goes well with your scan tomorrow.
Alish it wont matter what colour jumpsuits they are if she's going to bed or staying home in them, If you go out you could always chuck a pink jacket over them.
I'll bbl girls are demanding food again lol
Had a 6 week scan today. All going well so far. Yolk sac, fetal pole & heartbeat all visible. 115bpm. Spot on 6 weeks :)
Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!
Welcome Lauz - you're definitely not alone in here! I find belly buddy groups awesome, but the support in here is on a different level, it's like every fear I had was completely normal and I wasn't the first to feel it. It's easy to say, just try to relax, but of course nothing works like that does it. I hope your scan had great results and you got to see a little foetus in there with a strong heartbeat :) :hug: welcome and I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight!
Phee - that's awesome results for your scan! Low heartbeat's a boy yeah? lol, who cares - it's a healthy one :crossfingers: the next scan is just as awesome!
phebee.....im glad everything went well....
Lauz....welcome and congratulations. Im so sorry about ur situation. I hope u can get some good support. It can be very hard becoming pregnant after mc....how did ur internal go? theres probably not alot u can do about the insomnia.......the only thing is to try and relax before u go to bed....eg hot shower. Hot milk. Read a book. Get a massage. Clear ur thoughts.......maybe try some counseling? I hope u ended up getting some sleep.........im like that at the moment.......between my cold. Bad heart burn. Dead legs. Pains and aches. Needing to go to the toilet.....dd......im not getting much rest at all and it defiantly makes things worse
alish....i know with dd i had neutral stuff but when she was born i wanted to put her in girlie stuff especially when i had comments about what a lovely boy he is lol........but thats just me....nothing wrong with blue jumpsuits...u can add girlie stuff or like someone else said use them for sleeping etc
angelfish.......it does tend to be more difficult when stepkids are also in the mix......and i can completely understand were u coming from about honor missing out. It was a real big concern for me that my children get the change to have a normal life and to not miss out on anything due to the kids and money etc....i didnt think it was fair that they dont get to have a normal life and get the things other kids do........i hope he does come around and things work out
pm....i know that they sayfor the different stages there are a certain amount of movements u count and that will tell u if things are ok...and that the later u are the less movements u get because there all swished in there and dont have much room so its more a rolling movement and pushing......if u are ever that worried dont hesitate to get monitored....better safe than sorry
heyh darkdrfeamer..wannabe...cheshire..anyone i have missed
atm.........well im defiantly feeling in the last stages of the pregnancy....im still trying to do all the stuff i used to do...but my body is not letting me..my body is really tired and i cant walk as far...i try...but get so tired....and my hearts been racing quiet a bit.....4 weeks to go so no wonder i feel the way i do. Im quiet hormonal again and along comes all the hormonal stuff...nausea. Headaches. Pains...im really thirsty again and cant drink alot because when i do it just wants to come bk up and gives me the worst heart burn...everything is swished in there so i am not even feeling that hungry.....movement is feeling really wiered....it really hurts sometimes and makes my belly go funny......im not feeling too flash thats for sure.....been getting period pains but nothing major...a bit of tightening......still have to add things to my bag and trying to organise getting my dad and dd looked after for when i go into labour.........been quiet stressful with dad as he is going down hill a bit........other than that just plodding along
Aww Melster that doesn't sound like fun! Rest up and take it easy!
Sorry, it's hard to do persies from Tapatalk cause you can't multi-quote, but I have read all your posts and hope everyone is doing well.
Well I found out today when I picked up my scan pics that I have '2 small foci of subchorionic haemorrhage' which basically means there are 2 bleeds between my uterus and placenta.
Doc explained it & tried to reassure me but I think I must be a good actress cause I think he thought I wasn't as worried as I am. I came home feeling like I'd been diagnosed with cancer, but since then people on here and Dr Google have been quite reassuring (yes, even Dr Google!) I'm just going to pray and leave it in God's hands!
Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!
Hey everyone..sorry I have been MIA
Everything (surprisingly) is going really well.. I am so used to bleeding in every pregnancy that it shocks me I havent even had a spot this time..I have every symptom in the book and honestly I just want to get into the 2nd trimester and be done with this stage. Watching a 2 year old and feeling like your going to hurl all day sucks...:( My depression is getting a little better since I have passed my dreaded 5 week miscarriage mark....but I still feel low every now and then. I think I just feel so guilty that I am not as excited with this PG as I was with DD and the other miscarriages
Phebee - I have a blood clot (subchorionic haemorrhage) behind the placenta that has been there from the beginning. I think as long as you are not bleeding then they are happy to just wait and see what happens. Most are reabsorbed by the body by 20 weeks. I don't know why mine hasn't gone but I haven't had any bleeding since around week 18 and baby is the size they are supposed to be. Yours will likely be gone over the next few weeks.
Pheebee~ i had one also with Honor and it disapeared by the 20 week scan as long as you dont start bleeding your fine its actually pretty common from what i got told.
AFM~ i have been hiding under my rock monday i go in for my scan in a big city area were i am not use too and there is always that fear inside of you
Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.
I had my scan and it showed a healthy heart beat of 141 and the exact size for the dates. I still have not been sleeping though. I have just started hypnotherapy and hope it can help me.
The Mrs - I can relate to many things on your post. I am at the same stage of pregnancy of you and have a 2.5 year old and morning sickness. I actually think my insomnia is turning into depression. I suffer from anxiety which has been brought on from the mc last year and the fear with this pregnancy. But I just don't feel myself, I am not as excited with this PG as I was with DD either. I don't feel as happy as I usually am.
Do you know if you can take medication when pregnant? I don't know if it is worth visiting my doc again (for the millionth time!).
Lauz..congrats on the scan results. Hows the hypnotherapy going? Are you getting any sleep?
Angelfish...i hope everything goes well with you're scan today. I was like that all the time so dont worry. Keep us posted
The Mrs..Even when things are going really well you always have that fear and are always checking. It does get easier the further along you get and the the more scans you have..think when i started to hit the 15-20 week mark i came good. My dd will be 3 soon and it is tough when you're feeling sick, hopefully there are people that can help you here and there. If you feel real low..maybe go to the dr and get checked out...i dont think i felt real excited about this baby until heaps later on when the fear started to ease and i felt the baby kick etc..now i feel alot more bonded with the baby..some dont feel it until its born. think its fairly normal
Phebee...how are things going now? i dont know alot about that sorry..wish i could help. Hope you're feeling ok now
Hello everyone else.....WERE ARE YOU ALL???????????????????????????????? I only have 4 weeks to go and need you all LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i have been quiet sick and have been throwing up in the last couple days...is that a sign that labour could be getting close??????..I am very very hormonal..very headachy and just feel terrible...im not sure if bubs is engaged yet. Lots of pressure down there but i dont think she is engaged. My body shape has changed but i dont think i have dropped yet. Been getting period pains but nothing major
Next week is my last week at work..wishing now that i had said this week.....as everything is becoming quiet difficult..got my ob appointment thur so i will see how everything is going.
Still havent 100./. picked names either.....
hello.....ive been busy with my lot....but id better start stalking....mel and alish look at how far alomg you guys are YAY
Sorry Mel - I'm a bit naughty, I get on and read what you have to say but I don't have a lot to contribute. I'm really terribly bored with this pregnancy and wish I was at your stage.
Have you narrowed down the list of names or are you completely lost?
hey all!
ive been reading but not really posting!
melster - 27 days to go eeeeeek! i wonder whos next???? possum?
how are you feeling?
what names do you have in mind? i can help you pick if you want :D its fine if you dont want to say, im not saying mine! lastg time i did that i got my girls name stolen by a friend so ive learnt my lesson ;)
hi tegam! i know, cant believe i only have 11 weeks to go, im so loving being pregnant, feeling everything - sore/movements etc it really has been the best time of my life! i must say its getting uncomfortable to sleep though, sorest back!
how are you going?
hi indias mum, hows everything going?
possum - how are you going?
lauz - glad your scan went well, what sort of medication are you talking about?
i actually have no idea what you can take, im guessing some things you will be able to take, i know they wouldnt even give me cough medicine/cold n flu tablets and im still a bit sick.. going on 3 or 4 weeks now
hi cheezel - how are you?
the mrs - hoorah! youve made it past your "scary" stage.. everything is going to be fine
how are all the other lovely ladies?
all is good here, i had my ob's checkup on monday, all is going well and looks like about a 7.5 - 8 pounder for me.. nice size, doc says she has a long narrow head... SCORE! should make pushing a little easier.. lol.. ive only put on 7 kgs all up so far so im pretty proud of myself, i didnt really think it would be that much, its very evenly spread!
my nipples have started leaking, WTF?? it freaked me out, dh thought it was hilarious! i didnt realise it happened now i thought it would happen closer to birth.
and thats about it for me
have a lovely day & belly rubs to all x
I'm here just been reading & not posting.
Wow Mel your so close, to having you bundle, have you got everything packed & ready for the hospital?
Alish glad everything is going well with you & Both my girls were 7.5p & 8p :)
I do think this baby will be bigger again.
Congrats to everyone who passed their scary point & got to see those beautiful little HB's.
Nothing happening here i'll be 25wk tomorrow. Time seems to be slowing down a bit & i've still not brought anything for Bambi yet.
Once i pay the OB i hope i'll want to start buying her little things.
Hope everyone is well :D
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.
morning ladies...
Wannabemum...LOL i love getting on here while i am at work :D 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 :D ..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 :rolleyes: 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
Hi everyone,
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!!!
PM yeah it's so annoying! Both girls were head down at this stage so it's a whole new feeling for me.
Nothing better than the odd kick or punch in the cervix & almost every time she moves i need to pee It's ridiculous.
One plus is haven't gained a ton of weight & i don't look big because of the way she is :)
Only 4wks left how exciting, what will u do with your free time?
Just a quick poor me post. I had gastro yesterday and am still not right - I haven't tried putting anything in my tummy yet, I don't think it would stay there. Oh lordy, a lot of things are easier without a toddler.
wannabe...how u feeling now...its aweful having a toddler and having gastro...
Pm...how u feeling now...its horrible being sick...which way was bubs facing?
Cheshire...yeah i have been reading up a bit on it...ill try some natural methods to get bubs to move the right way.....
Atm.......i seem to be sick once in the morning when i get up...this morning i ate oates and became sick and it came out my nose lol lol lol lo so funny but painful......i have heard some people get sick again...luckily it seems to only be when i wake up......getting period pains and dull aches but thats about it at the moment. He said bubs wasnt engaged...im pretty touchy and hormonal as well.....feel a bit upset but i think its just the hormones and end of pregnancy...think i want my body back...but the smaller body lol lol........i cant believe im going to have another baby soon.....wonder what she will be like....thinking about the labour and csection all the time so these three weeks will probably drag
HI girls - im trying to eep up with all thats happening in here but my cheeky little man is keeping me busy!
Melstar / Alish - so excited that your bubs are so close! Yayayaya!!
Just wanted to let you know that DH's mum passed away on Wednesday, she fought a long and brave battle and we are so very proud of her. She stayed strong until the end and passed peacefully away at home in the arms of her best friend and her husband.
DH is doing so well, he is so strong! Our little man is missing his Grandma but we are so greatful of the special month that they got together becuase at one stage we didnt even think she would meet him.
Her funeral is on Tuesday so we are so busy with all the plans atm, its so hard. I feel so so sad but i have to stay strong for my baby boy xx
morning!
wannabmum - i cracked up when i read your post to me - leakage during sex.. omg if that happens and hubby sees it ill never get it again!! i had a big leak the other morning on my shirt when i got up, i thought i could feel something wet! ahh the joys!
whens your 20 week scan? are you finding out the sex? hope youre feeling better too
possum - im finding it hard in the car, i get a pain up high sorta just under my boobs.. 4 weeks of work left, youre so lucky, 6 for me! i reckon im more excited about finishin work!! lol..
melster - sorry youre feeling sick again, maybe bubs is going to come early? i know u said doc said she isnt engaged yet but maybe things are starting to happen?
cheshire - glad your scan went well!
hows everyone going? hello to anyone ive missed.. its been quiet in here hasnt it
afm - all is well.. i need to wee every half an hour or so, doc said on monday that her head was down.. geez its uncomfortable sometimes, lets hope she moves for a bit! as i said to possum im finding it hard to sit in the car, i dunno how the next 11 weeks are going to go if its bothering me now! ive warned dh & mum that they may have to drive me to my obs appts from now on, seeing as though he is an hour away.. my next appt is in a month but after that its fortnightly then weekly i think??
im starting to get a bit freaked out..! excited but freaked out!
have a lovely weekend and take it easy x
adding : thopes we posted at the same time - omg im so sorry - all my love & well wishes to you, your dh and family xoxoxo
T-hopes - what a blessing that your MIL got to meet Noah. You will always have those precious memories. I'm sure your DH has many more precious memories to share with him as he grows too. I am so happy she got to go peacefully with people she loved. Thinking of you and all your family in this so difficult time.
Melster - oats out the nose sounds awful! I hope it doesn't last long! Your little girl will keep on moving down but may not engage until closer to the date anyway - she'll arrive eventually one way or the other and you wont be able to love her more regardless of the method by which she arrives :)
Alish - the first time I experienced sex leakage was HILARIOUS. Immediately jumped out of bed, cleaned myself up - chucked a towel at DH, put a bra and breast pads on... and yeah. But that was after DS had arrived - nothing before. We're having our scan on 7 July. I think we'll find out - although I was thinking last night that maybe I can talk DH out of finding out because we got a "probable" (75% chance) girl at 12 weeks. He wants another DS, but maybe 8 weeks of thinking about a girl has made it not as scary. I'd like to have a surprise. I'm guessing his response will be no. But then, it matters more to him to find out than it does to me to have a surprise, so we'll find out. Hope once bubs moves a little bit that pressure will ease a little! It's scary isn't it! But fun. I'm sure your Ob will tell you when to make your next appointments for, lol.
Thanks for the good wishes girls - I'm feeling 100% again today thank goodness. Sleep in this morning, now DH has taken DS swimming with a mate and his little boy (same age), a bit of a boy bonding session I think. So after I shut the computer down I am getting out a good book and getting some me time in. Bugger the housework!
T-hopes: So sorry to hear about your MIL. Very sad for your family. Glad though that she at least got to meet Noah and treasure him for a little while. Will be thinking of you this week. I'm sure it will be very emotional for all.
Melster: oh you poor thing. feeling sick does not sound fun at all. I'll be counting down with you will bubs arrives.
WBM: Sorry to hear you've had the vommies too. Not fun at all. Glad you feel better today and can enjoy some 'me time'.
Alish: yes, i can definitely relate to feeling uncomfortable sitting down. For me it's in the office but it must be a similar issue in the car. Oh and leakage! The joys. I must say that one hasn't happened to me yet (not before birthing anyway) but i hear it's pretty common.
Cheshire: I have to agree: being kicked in the cervix is uncomfortable and the wierdest sensation. Makes me quite squirmy being tickled from the inside! Oh, and as for what i'll do when i finish work: plenty to do. Have some things to fix around the house and need to organise room for the baby (currently our spare room/dumping ground) and hunt out all my baby stuff from DD (well the gender neutral 0000 stuff anyway cos we don't know the gender) as well as organise a place for baby to sleep. We have a cot but think we'll keep baby in with us this time which we didn't do with DD (we lived in a small place when we had her and she slept in her own room in cot...3metres away!) So i want to get a bassinette i think, but not buy one cos we'll only use it for a few weeks. Does anyone know if you can hire that sort of thing?
AFM: Not feeling too bad. Cold has been mild so far thank goodness. And, saw my OB: Baby is head down now, Yay! Went to the movies this week and baby decided it was a good time to party: seriously the most movement i've ever felt in one session. Very funny. On a less funny note, i fell over this week (for the first time since childhood i swear!) Slipped in the street. Very undignified but no one saw. Lucky I fell to the side and didn't bang my tummy. (It was like a baseball player going for a home run and sliding into home base!) Grazed arm, hand and knee, and my arm is sore today but baby happily kicking so s/he's ok.
