Hi Girls! Just sneaking in to say Hello! Ive been so busy but I have a quite night tonight so planning on catching up on all the goss!!
KitFaerie! OMG!!! 35wks!! Whoop! High 5's all round!! xx
PS - I have a question that may be silly - my results for my NT scan came back at 1:7810 which my ob said was great but since talking to friends, theres were so much higher like 1:32,000 and 1:16000... should I be worried or am i being silly? Im young - 28y/old so should that result be higher?? I have a neice with Down Syndrome - would they have factored that in the equation??
-
T-hopes: I know it's insane! LOL! And look at you! 2nd Trimester tomorrow! So exciting, second trimester rocked!
Has anyone heard anything from Murraycod?? She's disappeared :( And Ric, where's Ric???
-
Ferrals - I have a niece who is 9 (DP's actually but I've claimed her) and she's super excited about the baby too. I agree, I think people just have to say something about a woman's weight during pg. I wish they could shut up though hehe. Don't feel bad about your weight, I was about 70 when I got pg.... now I'm the bit 80. :( It's a LONG way back to my former glory of about 55kg when I hit my early twenties. But as I've said before it's for a good cause so I am ok with it. Weight comes off if you put the right stuff in your mouth. :)
T-Hopes - Not a silly question at all. I'm pretty sure they would factor in your family history when calculating your results, but don't worry! Those numbers are fine.
Kit - No I haven't heard from either of them... :( I hope all is ok.
AFM - Went and battled the xmas crowds again today (I know I broke the rule, lol) but it wasn't so bad. I've almost paid off our carseat for bubby and managed to pick up another cute maxi dress to make me feel stylish instead of just chunky. I had a quick squiz at the maternity stuff in Target again and was equally disappointed as the previous times. Seriously, Target. GET MORE THAN ONE RACK OF CLOTHES. And they're all so expensive! It's wrong, really to charge so much extra when I can get a dress with just as much material and even a splash of colour for $20 but target wants to charge $50 at least for the same thing, except in a hideous grey and black horizontal stripe. Ughhhhhhhh. Angry! Does anyone else feel self-conscious when clothes shopping these days? Obviously I steer clear of maternity wear for my reasons stated above, but I feel like people are staring at me when I'm browsing in regular clothes stores. Am I being paranoid or do you ladies feel the same way? I find a lot of skinny little teenage girls just push past me like I'm not even there, and stand in my way when I say excuse me to move past them. :( I should get a bull-bar on my belly and just barge the little tramps out of my way LOL. Ok, that's my rant for the day done. :) Take care everyone!

Hi All,
I am here only, and I am more of silent follower of the thread from quite a long time.
Was on bedrest, so doing internet alot less than usual.
Kit, Forshelby - thanks for remembering me girls :)
Congrats for 35 weeks Kit - Must be ready by now.
I had my u/s at 33 week to see the position of Fibroid and its anterior to placenta...My Ob still hasn't said anything but to wait till the "BIG DAY" - and the answers are - Be prepared, we may do C-section, or if you are lucky thn expect a Normal delievery and with complete bedrest - I am at home, cant go far away from Hospital and home .... But hey "its for good" and after delievery if Fibroid still resides in the uterus, and creates a problem thn they will remove the uterus all together............Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
with so much going on, I am just focussing on having my bubba in my arms healthy... And I pray to God everyday to give me strength to handle every situation and also to everyone who is going thru a tough time.
Take care Everyone.
Ferrals - how are you? Everything is going to be fine... All the best and good wishes.
Dory - Congratulations my dear. How is our little Hannah doing? Give her my cuddles and hugs xoxxx
Rest is all good.
Take care everyone
Love and wishes, Ric

T-Hopes- those numbers are great dont panic i had something like 1 in 50,000 when i was 18 and it got lower with each pregnancy with last son being 1 in 18,000 then Abbi's was 1 in 2 which you cant get any worse than that we all worry but your numbers are good.
Kitfaerie-Its been a while since murrycod and i have emailed but the last email she said she was just laying low and would pop in to see how we are all going but i have yet to here from her i might drop her an email to check how she is i think she would be about 32 weeks now.
Ric-hope the fibroid doesnt cause to many problems for you but it sounds like the doctors are looking after you.
-
sorry been mia...will try and catch up tomorrow when im on my wk computer and not mobile....hope everyone is ok.....
whats everyones belly like second or third time around.....im worried my belly is not growing.....i started of real big and bloated and stayed huge with dd......this time around im not as big and it kinda feels more fatty than hard and heavy like with dd......is that coz everything is stretched now..and why does it look more like fat than baby.........or do u think somethings wrong.........i had bad bad pains the other day......but i had eaten out and breakfast and was wondering if it was the fatty food or something more.....i went to the toilet but eventually it eased but its made me paranoid....because when i had bad pains last time the baby died...but thosed lasted quiet a few hrs and were really intense..........and my ms isnt as bad....but still there.......have a scan in two weeks but im paranoid......
-
Melster-this is my 5th pregnancy and i really dont want to complain after everything we have been through to have this precious little girl but it has been my worst i have been uncomfortable since the beginng with lots of stomach pain more muscles and ligamints i have had really bad bowels trying to go to the loo is just horrible my legs are aching my hips are sore i am not sleeping so great but i can tell you i have a huge smile on my face and would not change a thing.
As for the stomach each baby is different i myself have never been big with any baby and i thought i was bigger with this baby but everyone keeps telling my i am tiny and at 25 weeks i still fit in all my clothes i just have the zipper undone so dont worry you are only early and around 12 weeks you will start to feel a little fuller around the middle.
AFM-25 weeks tomorrow so 12 weeks to go until my c section i am going to make sure i get a senior ob and not a trainee.
And i have lost a kilo in the last 2 days so now that makes only 2 kilos gained so far i have never lost weight in a pregnancy before i hope it doesnt mean anything bad.

Melster - It isn't uncommon for your tummy to seem to stop growing at this stage. Like I said, perhaps the bloating of the first few weeks has eased and left you looking and feeling smaller. Also your ms could quite possibly be leaving the building (in a good way). Mine eased up a lot around weeks 9 and 10, it was worst in the beginning. Of course, then it came back when it felt like it and struck me down at random up until week 17 lol. I even woke up on Saturday feeling incredibly sick all of a sudden and er, you know the rest. Now try not to stress about your belly. I know subsequent pgs are supposed to make you pop out sooner, but bubby is still so tiny it's not unreasonable for your tummy to be small. I hope the next weeks go quickly till you get to your scan!
Ferrals - In this heat it's hard NOT to lose weight sweating! :) Try not to worry. And you know what, I think you're entitled to complain after all you've been through (and are still going through with DH's court case). Let her rip, baby lol. I can't believe you're going to be holding your baby before I'm holding mine! I've been overtaken, LOL. :) Couldn't be happier for you though hun, you deserve this so much.
AFM - Is anyone else having very strange dreams every night? I am, and it's getting old, lol. As for bubby, he/she is kicking and wriggling a LOT. Sometimes I can feel the movement start up, and then I'll get a big bulge up the top of my tummy and it feels like bubby is pushing out on my uterus as hard as possible. Perhaps trying to bust out of there? (trying to beat Ferrals little one to it, I think)LOL. A couple of times it's actually slightly painful as everything is so tightly stretched. I don't know if it's a foot or a hand or what, but wow. I can't believe how strong bubby is now! No more flutters hehe. Oh I don't know if I mentioned earlier that bubby was transverse lie at our last scan. :( Naughty bubby.
-
Ric - oh swetie - I am so sorry to hear you are on bed rest. It is sooooooooo very hard. It helps to have a lap top as the internet and BB helped keep me sane. Any chance you could borrow one or hire one? Sorry to hear about your fibroid and hoping that you get the delivery you want. The next 5 weeks will go so slowly and quickly for you all at the same time. I hope you're not getting too worried but it's hard not to when you've got very little else to occupy your mind. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God speed little one.
Thankyou for asking after us - all going well here. Hannah was baptised on the weekend and slept through the service. She was just so cute. She is generally sleeping well and is a happy little girl - she's at the age where she vocalises a lot and smiles and giggles. It is so awesome. We spend hours together just talking and smiling. No rolling here, but lots of kicking and arm waving, and yesterday she had turned herself around in the cot ( first time). It all goes so quickly. The pregnancy seemed to be soo long and this is just flying by. I wish I could make it stop. I actually miss getting up in the night as much as I was, even just a few weeks ago. as it was our special time, no one else around, just us. I could hear her breathing and watch her sleep. Nothing better. It is at those times I am truly at peace.
Ferrals - not sure about the weight loss - and it's ok to feel miserable and uncomfortable. Just because you want your little bubba so badly and had to go through so much to get her doesn't mean that you have to LOVE every minute of it. It doesn't mean you love her or want her any less, just means you're human babe. So don't beat yourself up about it.
Melster - hugs....
I agree there is a distinct lack of reasonably priced and NICE maternity wear at the shops. I find people just shove past or push in front of you in the queue, irrespective of the size of your bump ( or pram). Must be a sign o the times. Now I know why I see some mums using their pram as a battering ram!
-
Forshelby-you never know i might be in the 2% that the placenta moves so will go full term or you could go a little early but i was told that the c section would be between the 9th and 16th of march so we will just have to see what happens over the next few weeks.
And i cope a few really hard whacks from little miss also and my belly bulges out in funny shapes when she stretches out sometimes it is a little painful and catches me off guard and at our last 2 u/s bub was head down no point being head down when she is coming out the roof.
And the dreams i am having are bizar DH laughs at me and thinks i am strange.
Dory-isnt it the best you brought back great memories.
-
Ferals - you'll be making those memories for yourself again soon!
Kit - OMG - TIGER is almost ready to make a grand entrance - 35 weeks - that is sooooooo very awesome.
T Hopes - I agree with Ferrals - those numbers are awesome - so don't worry about them anymore!
-
today i went in for my non stress test and instead of going twice a week i now only have to go once a week becosue she is doing so well. But i get to see her on us every week now. The dr told me that i have a very healthy baby got to see her practice taking breaths. The only bad thing is that my lower number for my BP is going up everytime i go in.
So i as i left the dr office i was so happy thinking that it was a great day. Well BF had court today for his ex with child support now instead of paying 510 a month they want him to pay 802 he is fighting it and going to get a lawyer but he came home in a foul mood runied my mood 100% and now i dont know how we are going to make it i can not work until after i have the baby :( i dont know going back under my rock
-
Hello preggies!
Thanks so much for reassuring me on my worry! I feel a lot better now! xx
Dory - Hannah is so beautiful - she sounds like such a little sweetheart! We know where she gets that from! :)
Ric - sorry to hear your on rest, not long to go for you now! Your doc sounds like he has everything under conrtol. Take care of yourself xx
Forshelby - Im having the most vivid dreams too!! Dh just laughs at me everytime i wake up and ramble on about them! I swear i could turn some of my latest in to a best selling novel! They are 5 star!!!!
Melstar - My tummy only just really popped out in the last 10days! I was worried when i was 9wks cause nothing was happening! I thought my last pregnancy showed more than this one and all of a sudden :bellygrowing: Wont be long!
Ferrals - Im glad to hear you keep in touch with Murraycod - I often think of her and wonder how she is! I peek at her ticker every now and then just to see how far along she is! Give her my love next time you chat with her! Thats so sweet that your stepdaughter gave Abbi a card! What a gorgeous girl!! xx
AFM - Well im 14wks today!! :dance: This always been my little milestone so im very happy to be here! My belly is poking out now just enough that I notice ppl sneaking peeks at it! :) Dh and I went to look at prams, carseats etc the other day! So much fun! Found the carseat we want but soooo many prams to choose from... gunna leave that for a bit!
Its a beautiful sunny Decemeber day in Melbourne... hope youve all got a little sun wherever you are xx
-
Dory - Lol, yeah.... those mums who use their prams as battering rams upset me at the moment. I'm getting so big and rolly-polly, I really think they should give way to me as I can't dodge them fast enough! I say to DP on a weekly basis when we're out shopping 'Just think, soon WE'LL be the couple running people over with our pram. Because we'll be special. OUTTA MY WAY, I HAVE A BABY!' LOL. I wish people (all people) could just be more polite and considerate in general. Y'know, keep left.. give way to your right, open the door for old people etc.
Ferrals - Oh goodie, my due date is march 14 so it looks like the race is on. LOL. I hope you get the birth you're hoping for, but as long as she comes out pink and screaming, all is well. :) Can we trade bubby positions, lol. I get the feeling this little one is rebellious....... first breech position, now transverse, PLEASE just be on your way to a head down position, child! I'm glad I'm not the only one with the weird dreams. *phew*
Angelfish - Wow that seems like a lot of child support....... how many kids is he supporting exactly? Or is his ex just greedy. I'm so glad your bub is doing well and you don't have to go to as many appointments. Great news! You'll make it through the tough financial times, sometimes you have to get a bit creative but I believe you can do it. :hug:
T-Hopes - I think the dreams are one of the most entertaining parts of being pg. I wonder what causes them though. No sun here, it seems stupid Melbourne stole it from us here in QLD. LOL. How mean am I?! I can't help it, the gloomy weather has me all grumpy and sad. *stamps feet* :)
-
hahah Forshelby! We lived on the Gold Coast in 2007 & 2008 in Palm Beach - we loved it! Would so love to move back! Best 2yrs of our lives! It was such a dream for us walking to the beach every morning with our dogs!! (hence the avatar!) Think our dogs miss it more than we do! If only i could get my family and friends to relocate there too!! :nahnah: that we stole your sun! Your greedy up there - you get way too much! Im pasty and need a tan!!! :D
-
forshelby~ she is just greedy she refuses to get a job. She lives at home with her mom and she useing the cs on herself not the kids. My bf mom buys them all the things they need such as winter stuff. I think it is allot since she applied for goverment help they are making my bf pay more but i hope the lawyer can help.
Its hard for me to understand that most of you all are having hot weather and i am getting snow winter is just starting here.
-
Angelfish....oh i understand...our ex at one stage if i remember was getting 400.00 a WEEK!!!!! it used to get me so wound up and i used to be so angry and everytime CS called i used to give them a blasting....especially when our ex has her own buisness but doesnt declare it and never has.....so we were getting 20.00 a week or something like that.....how long do you have to go paying CS? Hugs...im glad you're st went alright
T-Hopes...congratulations on the 14 weeks!!!
Dory...thanks
Forshelby...I used to with DD..but not so much with this one...with DD they were real vivid and scary
Ferrals...WOW 12 weeks...i had my c-section and everything was all good....wow thats great only gaining 2 kilos......i have put that on already LOL
ATM.........oh my belly is defiantly big and noticable...and i have put on weight...im pretty huge actually. But not as big with DD, and like some have said maybe some bloating went away...it just feels muschy and fatty rather than hard like a baby is in there.....i was just worried because with the mc the baby stopped growing and so did my belly.....im sure its alright....and im defiantly HEAPS bigger than alot of the other photos i have seen of people pregnant at nine weeks...and apparently my boss asked a friend of mine if im pregnant....:o...im just a stress head at the moment
-
T-Hopes - Is it ironic that I live on the gold coast but am pasty white and can't handle more than 2 minutes of sun? LOL. I burn sooo easily and tan just isn't in my vocab. It is beautiful here, pity about the tourists, they kinda wreck it for us locals at times.
Angelfish - Hopefully the lawyer sorts her out then, that would be really irritating dealing with someone like that! I've never seen snow, it must be nice having Christmas in winter. Usually preparing the xmas feast involves a LOT of sweating, huffing and puffing and nearly passing out trying to cook. LOL
Melster - It's nice to be showing early, though my real belly didn't pop out until about 16 weeks or so. Up until then I think it was just all me.... lol.
