    Yes I knew what you ment so we have 2things in common then. Should have written that instead. We might have even more in common. We might be both having c/s after NVDs cause of these placentas of ours. Oh well as long as they do their job and keep our girls safe and well fed.

    Kellie - No they weren't coming and going, it was just a constant owie.

    Ferrals - Thanks, It did hurt most when I was stretching or bending... awful!

    Mildez - No, I didn't have a scan yesterday, I had a gp visit and he 'palpated' my uterus but it really hurt! I feel a lot better this morning.

    AFM - Sorry, this one is all about me again. My stomach feels a lot better this morning. I ended up calling a nurse last night because I was getting so worried. She said unless I was bleeding, leaking fluid, or the pain became intense or I felt sick, that there was no need to go to the hospital. So I went to bed, took a couple of panadol and that was that. DP was all worried though, some stupid lady on his delivery route this morning told him how she had the same pain after an examination, and that she went back to the dr and there was no hb. So when I called him this morning he was all stressed out, saying he'd been waiting for me to call and let him know how my tummy was. He kept asking if I should go and have the hb checked out, but I reassured him that I was being kicked as we spoke, so all is ok.

    I'll be monitoring my kicks today and making sure baby is still as active as always. I'm still a little bit freaked out by the whole incident, and wondering if I can refuse the palpation next time? I mean, who cares if baby is breech at 24 weeks (which he/she is *sigh*)??? I have a lunchdate with a girlfriend today and I just feel a bit edgy and weird, I don't want to cancel though... DP insisted I could use a good meal but I just feel like I could cry in an instant. Weird. I hope I don't cry over my coffee and cake today, lol. That would be classic though.

    Anyway, thanks for listening to my rambling everyone, I'll let you know how things progress today. Oh and my ticker is having an issue... stupid fruit won't change. I'll fix that up later.

    Ok Girls Reet is ready to pump out my first proper post in a couple weeks!!!

    Angelic- How are u going?? When do u have another u/s?? Have u gotta wait it out til 12 weeks?

    T-Hopes- That is so good that u have been doing a pregnancy journal! I am jealous! I really want to do one.. but time just keeps slipping away from me! I can see myself being 30 weeks and still wanting to start one. Excellent scan results too Not long til ur next one!!

    Kell- Oh ur so lucky that ur feeling so much movement now!!! I really cant wait!! Oh and re. ur energy levels.. do u drink coffee?? I was waiting and waiting for my energy to pick up but it just wasnt happening UNTIL i started drinking a coffee each morning! It works wonders!! (thanks forshelby ) Now i feel pretty good during the day!
    I am slightly freaking about the u/s too.. u are having urs a bit earlier then me, im sure my fear will just keep getting greater and greater over the next 3.5 weeks. I just wish it wld go away!!!

    Forshelby- I cant wait to see pics of ur baby room! So exciting that ur almost all prepared!! Oh and i saw in the ttc thread that ur bubba has clubbed feet.. I have heard about it but not sure what it is?? Does it effect newborns or just as they get older?
    Thats awful what that dr did to u.. straight away i was wondering why it wld matter if it was breach at 24 weeks?! Gosh the baby is constantly moving and doing flips and stuff at that stage isnt it?? If u were getting labour signs im sure it wld be an issue but right now i dont really think it is. I hope ur putting ur feet up today and resting. I will have to remember not to let anyone do any prodding and poking!!

    Tegam- Oh my goodness the 13th!! That is SO SOON!! If u are going to be induced on that date will ur bubba have to stay in the premmie ward at all for a couple weeks or will it be strong enough by that stage? I guess try and look on the bright side.. they are giving ur little one hopefully an extra 3 weeks to grow and put some weight on! I hope ur ok and not freaking out too much, things will work out.. as long as u have ur healthy little baby at the end of it and ur healthy thats all that really matters. xx

    Mildez- Good on you for resigning from one of ur jobs Have u found ur mobile? Has ur ob. called you? I am hoping for the best possible news for u! FX! Oh and a huge congrats on ur little girl! Does ur dh know that u found out and he just doesnt want u to tell him or is it all a big secret??

    Melster- Sorry to hear ur sick, i hope ur doing a lot of resting. It always seems to come after u have had a holiday. How many days til ur u/s??

    Welcome Honeybee! I defintely find it easier to talk about my fears in here then in our bb group, i dont want to bring the girls down in there talking about what cld go wrong etc etc. I get really frustrated that i have been constantly worried over the last 18 weeks.. I really dont want to look back at this pregnancy as one big stressful thing! It kinda has been tho.. and im sure that fear wont ever leave me in future pg's.

    Ferrals- Thankyou so much for ur little tips, i must go out and buy some vicks today. It just seems to be sticking around.. i remember urs did to hey. Whens ur next u/s to see what ur placenta is doing?? I hope for ur sake things improve.. i dont kno how u will manage with no sex for the rest of ur pg! But hey im sure u cld cope if it meant a healthy full term pg When are u going to finish up work??

    Angelfish- Sorry this is a bit late but u poor thing being in that car accident! Thats one of my biggest fears. Im so glad everything is ok tho. Oh my gosh 30 weeks! Thats great!! I really hope ur scan next week goes well, what day is it on??

    Sunshine&stars- When will u start ur mat. leave? Or will u just work up until ur due and use ur 12 weeks for when the baby is born?? Wldnt it be nice if they let u have an extra few weeks off work! Wen you go back will ur dh take care of baby?

    Hi to anyone else I have forgotten!

    AFM- Ive just been plodding along. My tummy has popped out, theres no sucking in this pot belly anymore! I have no idea if im feeling movement or not.. there is sometimes when i think yep that had to be baby but it wont happen again so no idea! I really cant wait til i know its the baby in there kicking away! Its probably doing all its moving as im coughing, dryretching and spluttering!
    I got really bad indigestion last nite, we went out for dinner and all i had was a pink lemonade and it started it off which was weird, when my meal arrived i basically had to force it down cos it felt like the food was just getting stuck in my throat and slowly rising back up. It didnt go away til 3am this morning. It was awful, i was coughing and spluttering whilst trying not to let all the food and liquids come too far up my oesophogus! I really hope tonights sleep is a better one!
    Im going to go back to a convo u girls had about a week ago about getting weighed... i always get weighed at my ob. appointments, im kinda glad tho cos atleast i have a record of my weight gain on paper. Its strange tho.. i havent put on any weight this pg yet.. well not since my 6 week appointment anyway. I have hovered around the 56-57 mark. I got all excited the other day when i weighed myself cos i was up at 58kg and was thinking this baby is finally making an appearance but i think i was just a tad bit constipated (tmi!) cos after going to the toilet later on i was down just below 57 again .. bugger! Im still the heaviest i have ever been.. i was 53kg around the time of my m/c.. i must have bulked up a bit in between the 2 pg's.
    I have my u/s on the 17th dec.. its ages away!!! I'll be almost 22 weeks then.. which is the cutoff time to get the morph scan done. I wanted to wait as long as possible just to give our baby a bit longer to put some weight on.. i figure we are paying $200 for the scan and will get quite a few photos so may as well try and get them to be as cute as possible! (not so much like a skinned rabbit! hopefully it makes a bit of a difference!) It will be frustrating cos all the girls in my bb group have already started getting theres done and mine is still 3.5 weeks away! Oh well it will teach me patience
    Anyway I better go! This post has taken me like an hour to write! Teach me to wait so long between posts and have heaps to catch up on!!

    Tegam - Feeling much better today, but still a bit freaked out about the whole incident. DP is still a bit edgy too.

    Reet - You're so right.. it seems silly to be looking for the baby's position this early, I think maybe he did it so he knew where to look for the hb. Baby hasn't been as active today so I'm still keeping a close eye on things. I'm getting some kicks now though so I think maybe because I went out for lunch with a friend and was busy laughing away that bubby was rocked to sleep?? Not sure. Hooray for your tummy popping out, and that's exactly how my movements started. I would be unsure, and then nothing would happen again for a while, so I think it's def. baby moving around in there! Can't wait to see the pics from your scan. Sounds like you've got some intense heartburn/indigestion going on there.. I get it fairly often too, and it sucks! Oh and I'm totally jealous of your weight.. omg. lol. I wasn't even that light when I started out! I was weighed yesterday and I'm up at 80kg...... about 10kg over my all time record so feeling pretty fat today hehe.

    AFM - still keeping an eye on things..... I'm freaked out here!

    Forshelby - sorry to hear you're freaked out -it is so tough this pregnancy caper. Best thing is to do what you are doing - distracted yourself ( well tried by going out) and keeping an eye on things. GL. Did you cry over your coffee and cake?

    You can absolutely refuse the palpitations if you want to. Ask the Dr to explain why they think its necessary and what info they'll get from it and whether they can get that info any other way. You can say that the last time made you feel uncomfortable and that bubs was quieter than usual the next day.

    Melster - feel better too with your cold. Wretching after coughing is no fun. Won't hurt bubba though. Uhm I used to find when I was heaving after soughing that if I coughed into a pillow or something material that first of all the sound wasn't as revolting but somehow it made the wretching less? I have no idea why. If the coughing persists I'd go see a Dr. Don't worry about the stress either, stressing about stress just makes it worse. GL with the calm before the storm though.

    Reet - that is a massive post. Yay. Weird indigestion - I get a little of that, when it feels like the food is stuck. Not nice. Hope you get a better sleep.

    Oh bugger - the stupid school man ( who has just built a work shed near our house, is banging metal like there is no tomorrow. He already woke HB up with his mowing once this arvo. Not the mower but the rocks that were flying out and hitting the fence.) Blasted school never bloody consults us before they do anything that will affect us.... like the lights on the new library building that shine right into our house all night long or the swings that were positioned to look straight over the fence into our bedroom or the construction that went on for 9 months and ruined our garden. Ah, seems I have a bee in my bonnet about that and should actually do something about it rather than just rant. Toodles

    Forshelby- I was going to say if ur still feeling concerned by tomoro that u shld book an appointment with ur dr.. except im not really sure what he wld be able to do for u seeing as though hes the one that got u in this situation in the first place! Hmmmm i really hope ur litle bubba is just having a restful day today and tomoro he/shes awake and fully energised! Its good that ur dp is a bit worried too.. ur not dealing with it on ur own.. mine was furious when he found out that the dr at the emerg. dep just basically jammed her hand inside me to check my cervix when i had the bleed a month ago.. i know its routine but god it hurt! I think if dh had been there he wld have upped her! Was ur dp at the appointment yesterday? Were u thinking at the time that the dr was applying too much pressure?
    I really hope ur feeling more positive and happier tomoro

    Dory- How annoying having the school right there invading ur privacy and making ur home unpeaceful!! Do u cop the bells ringing all the time too??? I think u got a bit mixed up with me and melster and the coughing attacks.. unless ofcourse i missed part of melsters post and shes got what i have! I will try the pillow thing tonight. Im so glad dh is a heavy sleeper or i think i wld probably drive him insane during the night! I was thinking about going to the dr since its been a good 5 days of constant coughing except i think they will just try and give me drugs... i went into the chemist before to get some vicks vapor rub and the lady in there said all cough medicines are fine to have when pg.. it might be true but im not going to believe her... ill just keep trying to get thru it drug free i think!

    AFM- I am sitting here with the smell of urine in my nose. Dhs sister and her 5 kids stayed here the last couple of nights on there drive thru back up north. One of the littlies must have peed on our lovely cream couch.. little mongrel!!! We have throws on the couches to protect them from dirty feet etc. but there not waterproof!! Also the 2nd youngest boy is still being toilet trained so when SIL washes his clothes i can still smell wee all thru them afterwards and whats worse is when she washes our clothes with them. It makes me sick! They also still occasionally have accidents in our beds. Grrrr. Note to self: Must buy waterproof mattress protecters before there next visit.
    I guess once i have kids ill probably get over my hate for urine but right now KIDS: DONT WEE ON OUR COUCHES OR IN OUR BEDS COS ITS REALLY REALLY GROSS!!!!!!
    The worst thing is its really rainy weather here so i cant even take the cushions outside and hose them and leave them in the sun to dry. Grrrrrrr. Dh is going to have to deal with this one when he gets home.. its on his side of the couch anyway...

    Dory - Bub seems more active now which is good. I didn't cry over my coffee and cake, no haha. I was obviously in good company because we laughed the whole time and spent 2.5 hours hogging up a table. I enjoyed your school-man related rant, I'd be irritated too! We have a school behind our house as well (with a big foresty type thing in between) and their P.A system and bell are cranked up so loud, I can hear it going off all day every day. It's really annoying, but I'm not sure what I can do about that.

    Reet - I just realised I forgot to answer your question about baby's clubfeet. It will affect their ability to walk if no treatment is done. Treatment is usually plaster, or splint type things as well as some special exercises. If those fail, then surgery. All this is meant to be done pretty much right after birth, so hopefully all will turn out great and it'll only be a mild irritant to bubby. Basically in its severe form, it would mean your feet are so turned inwards that you'd walk on your ankles and the outsides of your feet. Awful! Apparently it's common though so I'm trying to just hope for the best for now.

    Honeybee - Welcome Sorry, I seem to have missed your post. It's hard not to be worried in a subsequent pg, so try not to beat yourself up over it. Just take each thing as it comes, and challenge those negative thoughts. There's no reason you can't have a 2nd healthy bub, so hold onto that.

    Sorry for the me post
    Ive decided to go to my mum and dad property for a break from everything and some time with Ella before the scan. Theres no reason for there to be anything wrong its just doing my head in the closer it gets. Ill be off BB for awhile. Work wanted me to have to take holidays as i have to many hours and its really quiet at the moment so it fits in well
    Will be leaving Friday got to have my gest diabetes test first before i head off. that scares me as well as i had it with Ella my OB thinks im 99% sure to get it back but i hope i prove him wrong
    Belly rubs to all and be back in a few weeks hopefully with good news from the scan

    kellbell - so sorry to hear you are so stressed about your scan, I know how you feel. I hope that the break at your mum and dad's does you some good and helps take your mind off things. It's awful being so anxious and stressed. I really hope that the time passes a lot more quickly and the scan is over and all is well before you know it. I almost got GD with DS, it was very scary. I instantly became totally obsessively low GI and started swimming, I think it helped. Wishing you as relaxing at time as possible on your break hun.

    forshelby - I'm really sorry that the GP hurt you, and then having bubs go quiet must be very scary. Stupid Dr. I'm glad you're getting some kicks though, I'm sure the baby is just fine. I think it might be a good idea to refuse the palpation again, I can't see how it's necessary, my Ob has never palpated my uterus in any of my pgs. It might not be dangerous, but it's painful and scary for you. I agree with ferrals - pg is so bad for your muscles and ligaments, and all that pushing has probably just made them more sore than usual. I'm glad you enjoyed the coffee and cake with your friend.

    angelfish - I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving, and the time with your bf's kids is OK. Best of luck for your growth scan next week. 30 weeks is a great milestone to reach!

    ferrals4 - great that all is well with you and your little girl!

    Mildez - that is so annoying that your phone is on silent so you can't even ring it to locate it! Have you tracked it down yet? Sounds like a good idea to give up the other job, you have so much on your mind, two jobs sounds like a lot to deal with. I really hope that you don't have placenta accreta, and that you can get some solid info on it all soon from your Ob. Are you planning to give birth in the hospital that you work in?

    Melster - thanks for the welcome hun! Sorry to hear you're so sick, that sounds truly awful. I hope you can get some relief soon. Hope the time before your scan doesn't drag too much.

    Reet - It is so frustrating being anxious all the time and not being able to enjoy the pg. When I was pg the first time I didn't worry about anything, now I'm too scared even to have s*x - poor DH!! heh heh. Your indigestion sounds horrible, I hope it was a one-off. I hope you feel better soon too. Surely it can't last much longer? I'm sure you'll be glad you waited once you get to have your morph scan, but the waiting is really awful. Sorry to hear of your urine troubles I can handle DS's urine and poo smells, but I wouldn't be that happy if someone else's kid peed on my nice couch!! I can't believe the emergency doctor put her hand inside you! I'm sure that wasn't necessary, my Ob just scanned me when I had my big bleed. Those lazy b&*$ards with all the palpating and shoving - use a bleedin' u/s!

    Hi Dory - thanks for the welcome. That school sounds infuriating!! That would drive me nuts. I wonder if there's anything you can do about it?

    AFM - It's after midnight here in Perth, and DS is refusing to go to sleep! He's pulling things out of the kitchen drawers at the moment and I need to try yet again to get him to bed. Ridiculous!

    HB
    xxxx

    ETA - ha ha ha - I said I could handle DH's urine smells. Ooops - freudian slip perhaps? Changed it to DS's urine smells.

    Morning ladies,

    Yes thank you I found my phone. Talk about placenta brain it was in my bag all along. No missed calls from the ob which was the only real reason I wanted it back.

    Honeybee yes I was going to birth where I work. But if I do have something terribly nasty going on with the placenta I most likely will be transferred somewhere in Sydney who has experience dealing with it.

    Kellbell take care of yourself on your little break and we will be waiting for you when you return.

    Reet that wee smell sounds abit gross to have to put up with. Hope its gone now.

    Well my news is I am 20Weeks today OMG I didn't think this day would come. I thought my ticker would be 50% but who knows what its doing.

    Reet - I was thinking at the time that it hurt a lot more than the last time he felt for baby, but I figured I was being a wuss. I had to have a bit of a chuckle about the kids peeing all over the place... I can't believe you didn't already have mattress protectors (or at the least a tarp of some sort) lol. I love that it's your DH's side of the couch that is wee'd on lol......

    Kellie - Enjoy your time away with your parents and I hope all goes well with your scan and your GD test.

    Honeybee - Yeah I hate the palpations now I'm getting big.. it didn't hurt at all at first but now it's really bad. I hope your DS went to bed lol.

    Mildez - LOL.... your phone was lost in your bag? That sounds like something that would happen to me. Happy 20 weeks today.

    Melster - This will sound weird but I'm glad you feel like crap! LOL. Reassuring, isn't it? I hope your cold goes away soon

    AFM - Ok so it's time for me to have a massive whinge about the hospital appointment I had today. Let's start at the beginning.

    After battling my way through hellish traffic, I make it to the hospital just in time to get a park (which took 15mins and was 2 blocks away) and get in there. On my way in I see a familiar looking delivery truck, and realise it's DP. He flashes his lights, I wave, and head into the reception area, almost slipping over twice because it's pouring rain and for some reason the tiles outside are super slippery. I get inside, feeling like a drowned rat, and turn around to find DP inside waiting for me. Instead of going ahead with his delivery he came in to show me where the elevators were. (pause for loud AWWWWW )

    I make my way up to the 5th floor, having to fight my way into the elevator. The lady at the counter ignores myself and 2 other women while she finishes doing something on the computer. By now I'm feeling faint due to the crap ventilation, and hurrying so as to be on time for my appointment. After standing in line for about 5 minutes, she takes our paperwork and tells us to take a seat. The nurse calls my name TWICE and each time tells me to sit down they're not ready for me yet. (wtf) She then asks me what my appointment is for, and I snap at her 'I don't know. Nobody told me, I was just told to be here.' She asks me when my last scan was and I tell her 20 weeks and she looks at me like I'm an idiot, then walks away. (wtf again.. it's on my paperwork) I go to get myself some water but there are no cups at the water machine. What am I meant to do, lie down and drink from the tap??

    Fast forward 2 hours (YES 2 HOURS) and I'm eventually seen by a doctor who seems nice. Apparently I was there for nothing. She took my bp (which the dr did 2 days ago) went through my pg history with me, which um, I know all about because it's MY history. She then said 'so this is your first pg?' I said no, 2nd and she told me that my mc didn't count. This is where I started to feel REALLY angry. So I was dragged to the hospital to sit there for hours (for nothing), relive all my crap memories from my mc, then be told that it didn't count?? She then informs me I have to go to brisbane for my next scan as they don't have the equipment here to do the in depth one. At this point I swore under my breath and covered my eyes for a minute.

    Next she wanted to feel my belly. I told her I didn't want her pushing on my belly as the Dr did it a couple of days ago and I was in a lot of pain, and still felt a bit tender. She told me she'd be gentle, and before I could stop her, was pressing on my belly. I started to tell her how much it was hurting on Monday night, when she pushed on a sore spot and I said 'It was really sore.. AND STILL IS!' Tears filled up my eyes instantly it was so bad. Luckily I managed to hold it in but I felt like punching her. Thankfully she stopped there, and we listened to the hb for a second before I could get out of there.

    And the worst part? I have to go back in 4 weeks.

    I don't want to go back. I hate it there so much. I called DP on my way back to the car and told him how sore my belly is again and then had a huge cry..... then I got to enjoy some more hardcore traffic jams and idiots driving at 40kms in an 80 zone all the way home. I'm stressed out, sore and cranky and I just don't ever want to go back to that hospital. The staff are nasty, the wait times are ridiculous, and I hate them all with a passion. I swear the next time I'm not going to get on the table so nobody can touch my f****** belly. I'm so angry that it happened again, my poor little baby must be as sad as I am right now.

    Sorry for the HUGE rambling vent, I just had to get that out there. I hope you're all having a better day than me!

    Melster - Thanks hun, I'm feeling a bit better now, I was just so hungry and tired it was all a bit overwhelming. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight so you can get some decent rest! You need it right now

    Tegam - I don't even know what my options are, nobody tells me anything. I haven't booked in as I haven't filled out any registration forms or anything like that. The closest hospital to us is Tweed Heads. I definitely can't afford to go private, so I'm going to give Tweed a call over the next week sometime and see what they can do for me. Like I said, I don't know what's going on or if I'm officially booked in or not. If I am, then I assume I still have the right to change my mind as the treatment I've received (now and in the past) at GC Hospital is so lacking. I'm glad you were a nice nurse today lol.. afterall xmas is coming up and you want to be on the right side of santa's list! Does this mean you've officially finished work now? How exciting...
