kmm: I had the same thing with my pregnancy, slight cramping from about 6wks ended just after , was freaking out, as we all do.. Then my morning sickness eased up one morning, as I didn't want a scan early on (my first pregancy I started to m/c the day after my first scan, which was an internal and I felt scared that if I had another internal I would m/c again) I had BT done to check my HCG levels until I was further along I was terrifed something was wrong, so I panic for oh about 3 hours then all of a suddren a massive waive of naseau came and I had my head down a toilet for the next few hours.... I had morning sickness all day everyday for 16weeks, some days you feel great in the morning then horrible in the afternoon.. Try to relax, take a bath, or go for a walk... Hope everything turns out fine, and you end up with your head in the toilet :-) hehehe....
It feels so nice to get a chance to pop in and catch up on how everyone is going... and see those tickers advancing.
KMM - I am with Forshelby - you can't jinx yourself and once you make a ticker it is so so very cool to see it moving along... glad to hear your MS is giving you a break. Enjoy it while you can - it will be back. I know it's hard not to worry about everything... I just had a really really long pregnancy after 4 successive losses and I too was worried about jinxing myself and the same things you are. ( well it was normal length but felt really long as I was on modified bed rest from 7 weeks - a bit like Forshelby - plenty of time to post! LOL) . But the thing that helped me through was trying to embrace the moment and just be thankful for that moment - and in the end all those moments managed to string together into a 40 week preg. I just hope the same for you.
Tegam - how are you? I am no where near as overwhelmed as I was ( phew), but still have our little individual who does not like to be settled or go to sleep but sleeps like a trouper once asleep. Hannah s 25 days old today, and I haven't been just teary for no reason since day 17... seems ages ago. I appreciate all the help you've given me. I have kept some of your txts to remind myself of the positive things you've said.
HLP - good to catch up briefly. How is Audrey going? She's about 2 weeks older than Hannah.
Audax - your bump is as individual as you and def. not a sign of bubs size and health. I hardly showed until late in the preg and little Hannah was born 10 pounds/ 4.5kgs and healthy as can be. Just let all that stuff slide. And way cool - 41 days to go! yay! When you were snoopd - did you go to Japan or was that someone else? Really making my baby brain work hard to retrieve that bit of info.
Hi dory! Look at you go! I'm glad that my ticker is updating for you - here it is a bit stuck, and sitting on 49 days to go. Which could well be the case - who knows?! I love it. It's actually great having a compact bump. I feel like I've missed out on a lot of the aches and pains that go with having a large mass of me hanging out over my pelvis. I still fit into heaps of regular clothes, and I've managed to stay really active the whole way through. Baby was 2.4kg EFW on Thursday, so should be a reasonably good size. And with hair!
Yes I did go to Japan, from Christmas Day 09 - 13 Jan 10. It was the best best best thing in the world. I am so glad we got to make that trip.
I second living in every golden moment (as golden as they seem not to be in those first weeks) I have just found that this pregnancy gets better and better with every minute it ticks along, and right now I am loving it so much. Feel the love!
Audax - hilarious. I too am letting my immaculate hair-do's go for a little while. I figure it's good practise for after the birth, haha. I mean, I'm not going to have time to straighten elbow-length hair when I've got a newborn to dress in cute outfits. I loooove the sound of the baby hiccups, HOW CUTE. LOL @ your spewtown comment. I think I need to read this forum on an empty bladder cause one of these days................. lol.
Dory - Hi hun! Hope all is well.
AFM - heading home to the GC tonight. Yay for that, but sad to say goodbye to Grandma. i would post at greater length but I'm in a bit of a rush right now. Argh!
