Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss ~ November 2010

AUDAX my sweet - congratulations!!

Forshelby - glad your scan went well and the results were better than you expected.. how were the bowels of hell? And blah to DH about his weight comment. Get a grip boy. I like your come back - have you tried it yet? In whose reality is it actually ok to comment on your body shape, unless its a compliment?

Reet - I am so so very sorry about your puppy - I think its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all - go gently whilst you are grieving, it's a tough journey.

Ferrals - it does sound scary but you & your girl will make it through.

S&S - oh wow - a crib - I am sooooooooooooo happy that you took that step - you're right, it is a big one. What's next on the shopping list? Eventually you will actaully get your head around this being pregnant thing, but by then, you'll have a bubba!

Mildez - what you wrote to Ferrals was just so lovely and it reassurred me!!! Thankyou.

Reet~ i am so sorry to hear about your puppy dog sending you long distance hugs

AUDAX~ congrats

s@s i know how hard it is to take steps such as buying a crib and etc.

AFM~ i have been hiding under a rock.I am 32 weeks pregnate now and i have to go in twice a week now to get a non stress test done. Due to being diebectic which has me scared. I still cant believe how far along i am.As far as the whole weight thing i am going thoug the same thing BF thinks that i should have been doing some morereal exercise since i found out which i was but then the summer heat kicked in during my frist and second trimester. Hey i am pregnate and the dr are not concerend and yes i understand that i will have to work harder so i will.

Sorry not in a good mood really tired and while i was out a car almost hit my car and this would have been the second accdent and the women was so carefree about almost hitting me

Angelfish--glad to know that you're okay, even though the scary *almost* accident. I've been in a crap mood all day (see below)

Reet-- I am so so sorry to hear about your loss of furbaby-- pets are family-- I'd be a basket case. May time and gentle days soften this blow for you.

Forshelby-- About the weight-- I hear you! The post about the size of willy's made me laugh out loud. I am feeling huge and look it too! Maybe threaten your partner and tell him it could be much worse-- you could look like me! Jeez-- why do men make things so flippin' difficult????

Dory-- Thanks for the encouragement!

Ferrals-- Gosh, what scary news. I agree that the doc probably wants you to hustle to the hospy if there's a problem with bleeding-- but try not to worry. They will know how to handle such things...and they probably have seen the gamut of cases. That's good 'cause then there's lots of experience. You've got a little miracle inside you and your gonna do just fine. That's my evening prayer for you!

Mum2Romone-- Welcome!

Okay, about me-- I totally lost it today. First of all, hubby finally put up the Christmas tree after some nagging from me-- damn, I wouldn't nag if we could actually plan these things better. Anyway, he had a meeting today, so he leaves and I try to clean house. Two hours later the darn tree falls over and water is everywhere. Which is a problem because water warps our floors. Plus I was already angry that so much is disorganized and messy and out-of-kilter around the house. My nesting instinct has kicked in-- full force. My husband hates Christmas and he is a pastor!!! For God's sake. So, the tree falls over and I lose it. Crying hysterically. Water everywhere. I pull the darn thing out onto our deck and dump it. Clean up the water. Sit down and cry some more. Call hubby and scream, "You need to come home f**king NOW." Have to leave a message 'cause no one is answering. Leave a message 3 more times. Pull the phone off the wall and throw it against the wall. Scream and cry at the top of my lungs. Feel the baby moving and say to self "YOU MUST CALM DOWN." Stuff the stupid phone into the trash. Lose it again. Then my hubby arrives home and we have a real terrible fight. It is not pretty. More tears. I don't want to lose this baby! Hubby isn't really talking to me. Put the tree back up. Hubby stays home to hang lights on tree and outside of the house. I curl up in bed for 10 minutes and then tell myself to GET A GRIP.

God, help me, I don't know if this is hormones or what. But I was SO mad at hubby for leaving me today to go to his stupid meeting when we have so much to do around the house...

Sorry for the rant. I've not been feeling so lovely or ministerial AT ALL.

S&S: Congratulations, your pregnant! It's so hard to control how you feel when those hormones are buzzing all round your body, I knocked over a smoothie a few days ago and had to go scream into a pillow. I really, really wanted that smoothie. And Christmas is a pretty emotional time of year anyway, plus how your house looks can affect how you feel, there are times when I cannot stand mess and it has to be dealt with right there and then. Not always rational, but understandable. Hope your hubby comes around and you feel better soon

Reet: Posted in your other thread, I'm so sorry hun, thoughts are with you xo

Forshelby: Wow @ the weight thing. Even though it's low, go for the penis comparison :) I don't care how much weight I gain, what matters is how much I lose at the end of it! And that bubs is healthy and happy! Glad the scan went better than you expected.

Anglefish: Eep @ car accident! Really glad it wasn't major, I'd be annoyed at someone being blase about hitting me too!

Ferrals: I agree with the others, doc didn't sugar coat it cos he wants you to hightail it straight to hospy if anything happens! I know you'll do whatever you have to do to keep your little girl safe, even giving up sex!

Stoked: Each day your pregnant is a good thing, the odds go higher each and every day. Loving seeing your name in here :)

M2R: Welcome!

AFM: Look at my ticker! ARGGHH!!!! How can it feel so close and so far away at the same time! Everythings going well here, DH jumps up everytime I make a noise (usually because of braxton hicks or just staying too long in one position). I think he's in for a loooooooong wait! I'm getting the frist trimester grumps on again, restless and lazy at the same time! But without the nausea ;) Tiger's adorable, when I rub his back (well, what I'm 90% sure is his back!) he pushes himself against my hand. I hope he's a cuddly bubba! DH is making me scrambled eggs, gotta love him :)

S&S: gee you sound like a normal pregnant women! Sorry but it the way it goes!

Kit:hello: hehe

Dory - The bowels of hell were as hellish as I expected, hehe. The hospital was nice, though I wasn't keen on spending as long as I did there! I'm not sure what makes some guys think it's ok to let you know you're getting a bit chunky. I was kind of surprised and thought to myself 'um, yes I know, I live in my body so I'm aware it's changed.' You should see me trying to put on certain shirts these days. Let's just say I've gotten stuck a few times. LOL. I haven't used my comeback yet, but really it's water off a duck's back now. I was a bit upset at first but I'm over it now. Boys will be boys. I know what I'm capable of weight-loss wise and I know the time will come to get back to my former glory. For now, I'm just loving my tummy. :) How's Hannah Bear going?!

Angelfish - Argh, scary nearly having some maniac drive into you. Congrats on being 32 weeks, and I'm sorry to hear your DP is as hung up on weight as mine, hehe. It sounds so easy. Just exercise more. Try doing it with a bowling ball strapped onto your front though, and lead weights in your feet. You have my sympathy at least!!

Sunshine - Oh dear, sounds like a horrible day! I don't have much advice except maybe punch a pillow, and get yourself an artificial tree hehe. I've NEVER had a real christmas tree, frankly I wouldn't know where to get one and in the heat here it would just shrivel up and die in a week or so. I hope you're at least feeling better having a good vent and letting out some of your angst. It's ok to feel crummy sometimes, being a minister doesn't mean being perfect all the time. :hug:

Kit - Long time no see! :) You're almost there now, how exciting! Enjoy the last few weeks (if you can hehe) and tell DH to relax, you'll tell him when you're in labour. LOL, men.

AFM - Feeling bored and restless right now. It's hard to go out anywhere though with the christmas crowds driving me bonkers...... but staying in is really boring too. *sigh* We popped out this morning to do some shopping and I swear 20 people almost ran straight into my belly. I get it, nobody cares about anyone else anymore. But USE YOUR EYES, and if you have them, MANNERS. Mini-rant over. :)

Hi girls,
Home from work and i missed you so i had to pop in and check up on you all while DH is vacuming and mopping the floors.

Forshelby-OMG! take your hubby down to bunnings and into the wood department and buy him some wood and tell him to build a bridge and get over it most 1st time mums put on a lot of weight and then future babies it settles down but all that matters is you and bub are healthy.
I would gladly put on a 100kgs to have my Abbi back.
I have sooked a bit about my weight i have put on 2 and a half kilos now but because i started out 3 kilos heavier from the IVF i am actually 5 kilos heavier than normal and i feel really uncomfortable but DH keeps telling me to stop it i am pregnant and i am and always will be his beautiful girl and he will help me lose it after our precious daughter arrives i really am lucky to have a man like mine he is so loveing and treats me like a queen.
LOL the penis thing is awesome but men wont get over that type of comment us women are stronger and will take anything with a grain of salt.
I am busting out of my size 10 but size 12 is still a little loose and i can tell you i am not comfortable in my clothes i feel fat and blah!

Reet-I am so sorry about your fur baby losing a pet is heartbreaking.

Mum2ramone-congratz on being here and welcome to our nutty little pregnancy thread i know you will love it here.

AFM-I am stuffed i came home from work today and my stepdaughter gave me a xmass card that said to Abbi merry xmass i love you love from your big sister Emily OMG! i nearly cried.

How did you hold yourself together ferrals?? What a lovely girl, how old is she?

Forshelby: Sorry people were bumping into your bump! No more shopping at peak times my dear!

hey ladies....

Just wanted to say hello and ill try and catch up on all the posts

Ferrals - Aww :hug: Ikwym, I think we all feel that way about our babies who couldn't stay. I think you're doing great having only put on a couple of kilos! I'm up to 10 so feeling kind of.... blergh. I used to be a nice size 10, now I'm a 12-ish. Sometimes I just have to bite the bullet and get a 14, although it's a little big. *sigh* I'm not that worried about it, but some people do make comments! I kind of dread visiting my friends where I used to work because a couple of them make fat jokes, and some blatantly say 'you've put on heaps of weight'. Nice. Last chick who said that I told to step away from the pg lady before she got b**** slapped. LOL. As you said though, plenty of time to get back in shape after our beautiful babies arrive. How sweet of your stepdaughter to give you that card. She sounds like a really thoughtful girl.

Tegam - I said the same thing. From now on I'm going to lurk in the shadows until non-peak hour.. lol.

Melster - How are you going, hun?

Tegam-she is 9 and just loves me to bits i am giving her a sister she has been dreaming of for years god love her.

Forshelby-Im getting the other end of the stick comments oh! you are so small and gee you havnt got much of a belly and you dont really look pregnant well i have put on more weight at this stage than i did with my boys and i started out heavier so i just say look i am huge compared to my boys and my belly is big enough i am having trouble putting my socks on now lol but i love it i just think everyone has to make some kind of remark.
And i hit 68kg this morning so almost the big 70 which is what i was full term with my boys i think i will go way over that:shakehead: but i have a treadmill so will have to use it once bub is here.

Hi to everyone else.

We all knew how clever you were Ferrals but good work on getting DSD to love you so much!

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.

Hi Girls, i am so far behind that i dont think i can even try to catch up! I have been reading everyday but havent been up to posting. Sadly enough this pregnancy has been the last thing on my mind for the last 4 days :(
I am starting to feel a little better, still crying atleast 5 times during the day but better then all day i guess. We are picking up her ashes and collar on thurs so im sure ill be crying for a little longer but then i shld be able to start moving on and concentrating on this little bubba inside me!
Dh is away til thurs or friday and its killing me! I just find myself at home not knowing what to do with myself and end up doing my head in thinking about her funny moments and then last few hrs.. :( All good tho.. ill get there!

I hope ur all doing wonderfully, i will start properly posting from now on about pg related stuff.

PS. I HAVE MY SCAN IN 3 DAYS!!! Happy days after that :)

So sorry Reet to hear about your furbaby -big hugs it must be heartbreaking. That stupid man going too fast down
the street :-(
Good luck for your scan this week and i hope bubby gives you some nice pics

We have had no internet telstra cut a line somewhere and took days to fix it
anyway all back on line now and ill try and keep up too

My little man is breech i know heaps of time to move yet. but i wonder how late before he cant turn himself around?

I went baby clothes shopping today for little blue things gotta restrain myself but they are all so cute

I have a little disco dancer in my tummy tonight isnt it the best thing ever :D

Reet i am so sorry to hear about your pet i know how much love goes into having one. Good luck on your scan this week

As for my bf ex we dont know yet how long it will last. But yes she started her own bussiness also but if she is getting help from the goverment i dont know if she is claiming it or not. If i was not pregnate i would not even think about it but at this point i just want to call and report her for having the bussiness. All she does is throw adult toy partys. She started that but she has never been able to go out and work she always gets fired or comes up with an excuse why she cant. I was not working before i got pregnate i was out on disabilites but i know that i have to put on my big girl pants and once she is here i have to go get a job. My bf might be a jerk at times but he does not desive this he is a father that wants something to do with his kids and he pays what he has too when he is suppose to.
sorry for the rant but this is going to affect the new one what we can afford and what we cant. Dont get my wrong if you cant work or you need help then go for it but some one who make a carrer out of and has more kids.There is allot that happened between then and she should not have kids that is all i am going to say the two fathers at this point should. She abusies the men who she is with my bf still has makes on him from what she did to him :(

Off under my rock

Kellbell-they can turn pretty late my 2nd son was breech at 36 weeks and they said i could have a ceasar or try a natural birth so i opted to try natural but a week later at 37 weeks i was going for a walk down to the local shops and stopped dead in my tracks with the most uncomfortable (not really painful) but bloody awful feel i looked at my belly and you could see bub had turned sideways transverse my belly was like a watermelon on its side and i couldnt move and then he moved a little more to right himself and i felt normal again.
Next mw visit and he was head down i can tell you it was a tight fit but he did it.

Angelfish-we have issues with child support here also but when bub turns up DH wont have to pay nearly as much.
His daughter has everything she needs here and does not go without but we dont go overboard and buy to much as we only have her every 2nd weekend and i was sick of wasting money on all the clothes she never got to wear because she grew out of them so i only buy a little so its just enough to do her but her mother is a skank she wont spend a thing on her wont even get her a hair cut and for her birthday and xmass poor DSD will get shoes/slippers 2-3 sizes to big because they were on special at the time and will do her for the next few years but she cant wear them for 2 years.
And the latest thing her mother has told her from last xmass and last Bday when i asked her what she got she said mum has brought me a DS and 3 games but has packed them away and cant find them:o WTF or she is waiting for the game she wants to go on special so didnt get anything for her Bday except some PJs and cheapy sh#t toys and the poor little bugger still hasnt got her DS console or games her mother suposedly packed away last xmass but we got her one last year which stays at our house.

oh Reet - im sobbing my heart out reading your post, i must have missed the original post and didnt know about your darling puppy - im so very sad to hear of your loss. My heart breaks for you as I know how much my two boys (our dogs) mean to us! They are our everything and the only thing that has got us thru all the tears and heart break that the last few yrs have dealt us... take your time with your grief... you will get thru it but never over it and nor should you - the love our animals give us is so pure & magical - we never forget it and will feel it around us forever. look after yourself darling xx

Reet......oh im so sorry you're having such a hard time...its hard when you loose someone or a pet....hope you feel a bit better soon and have a great scan

Kellbell...i know DD went breach and i had to get on all fours and wriggle...i did it every night for about a week or more...its quiet hard because i was so heavy it was hard being on all fours...and she turned around..

Angelfish/ferrals....you're situation seems so similar to ours.....the ex is always trying to get away with everything and always is dishonest...hubby has always supported his kids and always wanted to, but boy would she put on a performance if she didnt get what she wanted. But then times turned when we had two of them.....she went out of her way to hide her buisness and she wouldnt do her tax returns etc......until she got busted of course, and we eventually dobbed her in. We needed that money just as much as she did. She was also claiming centerlink so she is in heaps of trouble now. and yet again, she started another business from home and is not claiming anything again!!!!! When will she learn. She also doesnt look after the kids, she never buys them anything, they come over with holes in there shoes, old raggy clothes that are unclean, the kids would cry at there b'days etc...she would do the same...OH ill take you to the shops later and buy you something but then she never did. She would buy some presents, the others non....broke our hearts!!!!!!!!!! and at one stage when she was getting a hefty amount with hubby working, we couldnt even afford food sometimes......yet the kids still didnt have anything, she didnt even feed them properly....so i completely understand........we were worried if we dobbed her in we would end up with all the kids full time........some mothers...actually i wouldnt call them mothers...shouldnt be allowed to have kids....especially ours....i know when you have depended children they dont get as much...so once you'res is born let CS know.....maybe you should dob her in, but it just depends on the outcome......

Melstar-it sux doesnt it DH ex also went on holiday overseas just before their daughters Bday and that was paid for by DH tax return and poor DSD was promised a DSi console from her mother when she got back but of course the hoilday was more important and DSD was dumped at the grandparents place and still didnt get her DSi.
