Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss ~ November 2010

[forshelby]

Iona - How have you been?

Tegam - Just like a normal weekday for me, really... it sure gets boring being a SAHM when your baby hasn't arrived yet, lol.

Sunshine - Yay for being on holidays!!! I've never had a real christmas tree, it would probably drive me crazy dropping bits and pieces on the carpet etc..... plus I don't know where to get one around here. It'd probably shrivel up and die in 2 days flat in this heat lol. Hope you had a lovely xmas.

Ferrals - Yeah, he got home about 4.30 and was apologetic about taking so long, but it was a pretty big job apparently...... (big buildup of slime on his brother's cement area which is HUGE) so what can ya do. He said he had his phone in his pocket all day waiting for me to call (he has no credit) but I figured there's no point calling as it wouldn't make him come home any faster. I was a bit bummed out about it but there's no point getting all cranky about it, really. I think today we're making up for it by doing some more baby shopping. yay! It sounds like you've got a good solid plan there to deal with all the stresses in your life right now, so yay for that. I hope it all works out nicely for you hun Oh and good luck for your GT.

Iona - How have you been?

hey sweety, I'm doing good just been so busy with preparing for xmas, deciding what to do for uni and getting Mark's BSA liscense sorted so that he can go out on his own fully and not have to rely on his old boss

how you going?? can't believe we are coming to the last 10 weeks of our pregnancy journey

[kellbell]

I had my scan what we thought was 7 weeks but was really five weeks and then at 7 weeks as a follow up scan and then the 12 week scan. Oh and my OB did a little one on his machine about 9 weeks. Wow that sounds like alot it was pretty cool to see him as a yolk sac at 5 weeks (not at the time though as was terrified he was so behind dates) and now a little baby. Im hanging out for another 10 weeks so i can see him again at the 32 week scan my OB wants.

No rest here had my DD up at least four times o/night and gotta work this arvo i could go and sleep for a week i reckon

Oh noooooo i put baby boy clothes into Ebay and so much cute stuff came up can i resist the tempataion

Kellie - Eeep I know... lol. I hope your cold goes away really soon, yuck! Are you having a scan at 32 weeks because of a low lying placenta like me?

M2R - My first scan was at 7 weeks, they called it a dating scan even though I was sure of dates, it was mostly to check we had a hb and all was ok. Next one was at 12wks, then 20wks, then had another at 26wks to check on my low placenta (and bubby's clubfoot)which has thankfully started to move up. I imagine I'll have another one at 32 weeks to make sure it's well and truly out of the way and to see if baby is still breech. I think he/she has moved though because I think I feel feet in my ribs.

Sunshine - I find ebay can be a bit of a rip-off sometimes, most of the time you can get brand new stuff for the same price, it's just a matter of shopping around. Though I did pick up some great bargains on some stretchy dresses to accomodate my big belly. I'm talking $8 or so. Niiice.

Mildez - Enjoy the shopping trip and of course drive safely.

Iona - Wow you have been a busy girl. I can't believe how far we've come either..... remember the old days in the TTC thread? hehe. It won't be long now until we're holding our little bundles. Time flies by way too fast! DP has already started talking about a sibling for this little one (yay, he was adamant we'd only have one) but said he thought a gap of 18mths would be nice. My poor body! LOL... I hope you had a lovely xmas and have a very happy new year in store for you. Have you got all your baby gear sorted out?

Angelfish - Long drives seem to do the same thing to my poor feet. Actually, they just balloon up as soon as I get out of bed pretty much. My dr isn't too worried about it, swelling on its own isn't anything to panic over unless you have the other symptoms too as far as I know. I find drinking a lot of water helps, as well as keeping my feet up where possible. Of course, if you can't (like in the car) try not to wear closed in shoes, or any at all if possible. I only wear flip-flops these days as I can't bear to cram my feet into my pre-preg shoes. Mostly it's a lost cause... lol. Also, at 34 weeks bubs would more than likely be absolutely fine even if you were to deliver now. So try not to panic. As much as we all want to carry to term, you're definitely at the stage where things will be ok if he/she comes early. Try to relax and of course, put your feet up cause the odds are in your favour.

AFM - Having another relaxing (boring) day at home....... I want to do something but don't know what, and I have this annoying craving for popcorn. Ok, so the choice seems obvious but could I be bothered going to a movie? Mehhhh....
