T-hopes: Hope you are recovering well. Thanks Mr T-hopes for the update!
Bec: welcome to the thread. I hope you are blessed with a drama free pregnancy.
Melster: issues with DH sound very tiring. I hope things settle down soon. Great that you've finished work. It makes the baby's arrival feel so much closer i think when you go on mat leave.
Wannabemum: Healthy vibes to you: wishing you a quick recovery with your back.
Cheezelmonster: the first few weeks are pretty full on when you already have a toddler. I hope you can rest a little when he does.
Cheshire: good to hear from you. Hope all is well.
Damprye: I hope you are going ok, recovering from your infection and they can hold off labour for a few more weeks. A friend of mine was in hospital for weeks (from about 26 weeks i think) with leaking fluid. She made it to 34 weeks which was excellent. Baby was fine.
Hi everyone else (doing persies from memory so missed a few i think)
AFM: 9 more weeks at work... and counting!
Thanks for the healing vibes - unfortunately I think another 26-odd weeks +around 6 weeks after is what will help my back. I had pretty bad pelvic instability with DS and it's certainly coming in early this time. I've woken up feeling pretty good today so we shall see how we go at kindergym today! I've got underlying sacro-iliac (where the spine meets the pelvis) damage/injury which doesn't help. Yesterday I was feeling hot pokers in my pelvis. Today just an ache - hopefully I can get some exercise in and stop eating bad food so that I can stop gaining weight! Weighed myself this morning and I've already gained 2kg! Oops.
Sorry about the me post - I assure you there will be persies later
Hi everyone i just wanted to stop in and say hi i am wating until next thursday for my us to see how that turns out i am trying to stay postive about it but its hard to.

Think my step daughter stole my wedding ring..luckily its just a cheapie because my fingers are a bit bigger.....i cant proove it tho...so its just another situation we have to deal with.
Hi there everyone! Just joining this thread. I got my BFP last Tues and FX it's second time lucky after my m/c in January. Trying not to stress about m/c again but it's difficult! I am 5 weeks 2 days and EDD is February 8th.
Melster~ it has to deal with my bf and his kids. We got into a big fight and i was going to do him a favor and watch his kids for him but after the way he talked to me i told him that i would not watch them for him. Then he threw his phone at me and was yelling at me to call his job to tell them that he was quieting his job. After that he told me that he wanted me to leave so i said okay then he picks up honor and gives her a kiss and says daddy loves you but mommy is going to keep you away from me which is not true. Then he said that i hate his kids which is not true i hate what they do i hate how they act.
Angelfish: Sorry you had a horrible day. I hope things get better.
Melster: That's great that you have more time to think and a few options open to you. Hey, you're getting so close, do you have any names picked out yet?
Phebee: congrats on the BFP! Sticky vibes to you!
Hi everyone else! Can't remember what other persies i need to do but lol to whoever said they look like they swallowed a basketball! That is exactly the way I am carrying as well! All in the front.
AFM: Not much happening here. DD is asking me every day 'when is the baby coming out'? It must feel like forever for her. It feels like forever to me!
Phebee - Welcome to the thread. We all completely understand about the stress as well as joy that a new pregnancy brings.
Angelfish - I'm sorry you had such a bad day. Have you and your partner considered counselling? Maybe you should think about it. I think if one person is threatening to leave then it's time to take it seriously.
Melster - sounds as though you have your options laid out and still have time to make up your mind. Sorry to hear you are feeling so sick still.
Possum - I was telling DH that I am so over this pregnancy because, as far as I'm concerned, it's a two year pregnancy. I got pregnant Feb 09, lost that bub but kept getting pregnant within a few months only to lose them as well. So I am well and truly over this pregnancy because it does feel like all the one pregnancy.
Was it you that asked me about the sex of bub? I do know but am saving it for the birth, though I let slip to my sister accidentally by saying him/her on the phone and she was really angry with me as she didn't want to know.

im going to have a big winge.....i feel like death warmed up......after a week of feeling horrible i went to the drs walk in clinic and i have accute pharingitis (sorry dont know how to spell it) and he has given me antibotics.......when i cough now it absolutely kills my chest and ribs....my throat is aching...blocked nose and so on....but i think when ur pregnant it seems 100 times worse......then on top of that the throat lollies and lemon etc is too acidic and my heart burn is absolute agony.....so i dont sleep at night because the cold air. not able to breath the constant hb and peeing.......i feel like a walking grumpy zombie.....my leg goes dead so im constantly rolling over...desperate to sleep on my stomach...and now i have lost my voice.......arrggghhhhhhhh theres my winge......i must be dehydrated because my lips are all dry.....
yeah thankfully i have a few more weeks to think about what i will do about the labour......i have an appointment it two weeks with the ob...then go weekly....
Went to my friends baby shower who is due the same time as me.....that was good..bit cold tho
pm.....yep 5 weeks this week or 4 if i have the csection........with dd i had her name from the start....this ones been hard and i keep swaying.....its driving me bonkers.........this pregnancy feels like its taken forever but at the same token it doesnt...its wiered
indias mum........i know i have been keeping my secret.....i say he/she and i know its a she......i tend to say she anyways because of my dd..so no one has really picked it up
angelfish........oh i can so sympathise with ur situation and ur dh.....sometimes when u say things its like i am saying it myself....how many skids do u have? How are things now? Its so hard being on either ends....my hubby is the same..he thinks i hate his kids....but its just not like that....think they cant understand why we dont feel the same way as they do......and its just different when there not ur own.....and its just different due to the situations
pheobee........welcome and congratulations.....happy healthy nine months to u
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 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 the next scan is just as awesome!
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!
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
