    Tegam - Good luck for your scan today!

    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!

    Tegam-hope your scan goe's well today i will pop back in to check later.

    AFM-had my amnio and it went smoothly wasnt to painful so now the 3 day wait for the results
    And on the up side our girl is measuring spot on to the day all her long bones are perfect no sign of any growth restriction or skeletal dysplasia her heart looks normal so another step in the right direction now to just get a good amnio result and we are in the clear.

    hi all.

    ferrals - I hope these three days move quickly for you and more good news is yours. so far so good, I'm thinking of you.

    tegam - hope you're getting great results as I type. fx.

    forshelby -safe travel home to the gc.

    to evryone that offered advice/support to my panic stricken post yesterday, thank you. You all helped to put my mind at ease and reminded me to think of the present. I feel queasy again today, as horrible as it is, it's somewhat reassuring. I see my GP tomorrow and was thinking of asking her if I could have some extra scans before 12 weeks. so a big thank you again, I really can't explain how grateful I am, as a first timer! xx

    Fabulous news Ferrals. I hope in the few days when you have the official results you can relax a little without the worry you have had up until this stage.

    Ferrals: Yay! You sound so much more positive today! I'm so glad

    Tegam how did your scan go??

    Forshelby How exciting!!! I'm sorry the last few days have been horrible Melbourne weather It feels like winter's come back!

    kmm I'm glad your mind is more at ease today. It can be really scary when the m/s stops suddenly. Unfortunately, I'm with Audax. Those few days of reprieve at 8 weeks headed straight in to 8 weeks of puking hell lol.

    angelfish That is fantastic! Was he excited?

    I think I felt my first flutters last night. It felt like I was being tickled from the inside lol. I just lay there for a moment, then called DH in and started crying. He said "are you sure it's not gas?" and I had to say well, no I'm not sure, but it didn't feel like anything I've ever felt before!

    Scan was ok, baby is perfect, just NO fluid. will see OB monday and hear what they think. Im not too worried as i havent had much with the others but never been a problem this early!

    Worked in SCN last night, how cute was it to cuddle all those babies and to think the one in my tummy was almost as big as those ones. Godd shift, just long.

    Ferrals: How are you??

    Tegam- Oh ive been wondering how u got on... so glad baby was looking perfect! I guess u girls are right.. the worry doesnt seem to end.. there can still be concerns right throughout the whole pregnancy... damnit! Im glad that urs isnt a big one tho.. just wondering what does it mean when theres no fluid?? How does that affect baby?? Sorry im so new to all of this! Whens ur next checkup??

    Ferrals- Im so glad that the preliminary results came back fine.. yay!!! Now we just have to wait one more night to find out the other results.. not long to go now! There will be one big party in bb land come tomoro nite i dare say!
    I hope ur feeling a bit better soon.. how awful to be so crook hopefully after ur results tomoro u can start getting a better sleep each nite. Thinking of u x

    Forshelby- Im not sure if i can talk to u until im feeling MY OWN kicks, wiggles and somersaults!! Very jealous!! haha.. i so cant wait!!!! My turn will come tho.. ive just gotta keep reminding myself that u have already gotten thru this whole 'not much going on stage!' Bet ur glad to be home again.. its always nice. Its gorgeous that ur doggie is running out of room on ur lap! Love ur latest tummy pics too.. what a lovely bump!!

    Mskara- Sorry to hear about ur BP.. i hope the meds sort it out. Best of luck with the next 3 weeks.. pls try and spend some time relaxing. Oh and enjoy feeling ur baby wriggling around!!

    Angelfish- U poor thing having to deal with an unsupportive dp.. its horrible! How long have u been with him?? I really hope when ur baby comes (and yes just over a 100 days to go now!!..yay!! ) that he becomes a lot more supportive and caring towards u.
    So glad that u are finally feeling movement!! Is it happening every day now?? How exciting!

    T-hopes- Ur u/s is so soon!!! How are u feeling?? Very pregnant??

    I cant go back any further on this page but if i have missed anyone i am sorry! Hello to u all!

    AFM- Well i have turned into a bit of a crazy lady.. i had an ob. appointment last monday and my next one is for a months time.. well just under 3 weeks now.. do u think i can wait that long?!! No way!!! haha. I was seeing a midwife when i had my m/c and then to confirm this pg and she suggested i do share care with her and my ob.. one month her, the next my ob. Well i decided that i wanted my monthly ob. appointments because i can look at baby at them and i wasnt sure if i wld see the midwife anymore.. but i have decided i will.. I will see her every month but i will make it halfway in the monthly waiting time to see my ob. IYKWIM?! So basically every 2 weeks i will have an appointment to check bubs! This coming monday being my next appointment. CRAZY OF ME OR WHAT!!! I told my sisters and they said that im very crazy and i need to just relax.. which i know.. but easier said then done. Right now if someone told me that this was all a setup and i wasnt really pg i wld probably believe them! I hate that i cant just relax and that i constantly need reassurance that yes there is a gorgeous little baby growing away inside me It will be good to see the midwife tho because she will be very thorough.. my ob. appointments are only normally 5-10 mins.. and hopefully she will be with me throughout the whole birth whereas my ob. will only come right at delivery time. Well these are the things im telling myself just so i dont feel so crazy! haha.

    Hey ladies still feel like sh#t coughing up a storm and poor bub isnt moving to much i only felt her once today but i supose all the coughing i am doing is keeping her awake so she proberbly sleeps when i am not coughing.

    Tegam-I hope the fluid isnt a problem and the ob can give you some answers on monday.
    I am not to doing to bad (thanks for asking) starting to panic a little about this phone call i am expecting the first words out of the geneticist's mouth to be i sorry but i dont have good news i have even dreamt it i hope i am wrong and i am trying to stay as positive as possible we need to know and at least all the doubt will be gone and we will have an answer either way.

    Reet-why not if thats what you need to feel at ease with your pregnancy than do it.

    AFM-should get our phone call tomorrow i dont think i will sleep to good tonight i keep saying to myself there is a 75% chance all is good and she looks healthy so here's hoping for our miracle.

    Oh wow ! I am so so very excited to see two little hotties in here - congrats, even if belated to Ms Kara and T Hopes. I am so very excited for you

    Ms Kara - sorry about your BP - it's disappointing huh? and scary? GL sweetie.

    T Hopes - I am just so pleased for you.

    Ferrals - awesome news on the results. Feel better soon with the flu. Make those DS care for you. I know what you mean about being preg - despite how tough my preg with Hannah was, I actually do miss being pregnant.

    Kell - glad you got to see your little bundle! Yay! It is just awesome.

    Tegam - sweetie - I am so so very pleased that things went ok, but pity about low fluid. Keep us posted? I can just imagine you all clucky in the SCN and just imagining your bubs...

    Angel - look at you go - glad things are going well ... you just get excited at anything you want and tell BF to keep his cranky pants to himself.

    Forshelby - creeping closer.

    AFM - wow.... Hannah, our little girl, has just not been putting on enough weight... and at 3 weeks had not regained her birth weight, so I made an appointment with the paed, which just happened to be at 4 weeks. She is still at least 100g below her birth weight. Anyway, we have a routine of formula comp feeds after BF during the day and BF at night. Some meds for me to help increase supply of BM and a review in 2 weeks. Paed doesn't think it's anything more than our baby girl was simply just hungry. Poor wee blossom. I feel a bit miserable about it all, but after 24 hours, which is still early days, we have a different baby. And by comparison, it is so so so much easier for us. I feel sad that I haven't been able to exclusively breast feed, but Hannah's health and wellbeing is my priority. Belly rubs to all those wee ones gestating away.
