forshelby~ yes the kids love me i do stuff with them that there own mother does not do with them. Also they said that there dad is nicer since he has been with me put a smile on my face.
AFM i went on a hosptial tour becosue we have two hosptials to choose from in my area and the one i went to tonight was okay. but it made everything feel so real. Also everyone was so much further along then i was i felt out of place
Ferrals- Yay for having another u/s soon and actually being able to enjoy watching ur gorgeous little girls movements without worrying!
Mildez- Thanks for the tip on the coffee (ok forshelby u were right.. ) i honestly dont think i cld do it tho! My headaches arent THAT bad... Hey and why dont ur work mates think u will go to full term?? Did u give birth early with ur other kids??
Forshelby- Wow that is a bargain! $200 for the lot! Great shopping! The only baby thing we do have is a rocking cradle thing.. a cousin gave it to us in my last pregnancy.. it was like a week before my m/c.. trust me i thought i had been jinxed!! It is really nice tho and im glad that we have been able to borrow it because i think the baby will only be in it for a few months so it wld be a bit of a waste of money. With ur bargain shopping tho im sure u will get a great deal!
I dont even really want to buy many clothes before the babies born.. i know we will get so much once the babies born it will be crazy! My mum told me yesterday that she is seeing a lot of gorgeous baby girls clothes and she is really tempted to buy the little outfits.. and if we have a boy we are just going to have to dress it in pink... great! haha.
I hope u got ur cleaning done today!!!
AFM- I am so happy to have reached the 14 week mark!!! I still cant believe it!!!! Now i am just waiting patiently to feel those first flutters
I got my doppler today!! Yay!!! I only heard my babies hb yesterday at midwife appointment but i cldnt resist testing it out for myself.. i found the hb pretty easy thank goodness! Im only going to use it maybe once a week.. if that. Its just there for piece of mind
Angelfish - Ooh I'm dying to do the hospital tour... everything seems to be going very slow in the hosp. department for me. Stupid missing paperwork. Did you like their setup?
Reet - I'm a bargain hunter from way back lol. I'm so jealous of the rocking cradle, I really want one of those. Maybe with all the money we saved on the other stuff I can justify getting one? It's that or a bassinette on wheels. I too am holding off on buying too many cute outfits, I know lots of people buy clothes for presents, and I'd like to buy things in 'the right colour' afterwards, so I'm leaving room for expansion. I did get the cleaning done, the place looks great. DP was impressed when he got home hehe. YAAAAAYYYYY for the 14wk mark! Hooray for the doppler too, and it won't be long now before the flutters start. I was sure I felt something going on around 13wks but it was soooo faint and only every few days, so I can't be sure. Can't wait to see more belly pics, I might have to do a fb stalk later on.
forshelby~ It was okay they only have 3 private rooms the rest are semi private rooms and you cant have someone stay with you overnight. But they are saying that by the time i have mine that they are building more onto the building and that there will be nothing but private rooms i hope so.I think that i am staying with this one hospital becosue the other one does not have a good rep.
Angelfish - Ooh, that'll be nice if they build more private rooms. I guess you've gotta go with the one with the better rep, and I'm sure once bub is born you won't mind sharing if you have to, you most likely won't be staying long anyway if the hospitals there are anything like ours. They try to send you home asap.
forshelby - it was my plan to get a rocking cradle, until some friends gave us their cot. The friends had quite a journey to starting and having their family, so the cot has an incredible amount of good mojo in it. Cradles that have barely been used are often available in the weekend shopper, check it out.
reet - my keyboard hates your name! My "e" key often doesn't work after I type an "r" Sorry if I call you ret or rt Those flutters won't be long! I first got movement at 14w6d, it was my brother's birthday. And then they just get bigger and bigger, and next thing you know, you're sitting on the bus and an old duck across the aisle comments on how your belly's moving!
Got a m/w appt today, will be asking about weight loss, because I think I've dropped a few kilos over the last couple of weeks, and just hope that's nothing to worry about. Then final antenatal class tonight! DH is starting to freak out a little, because it's all so real. Nursery is finally finished - might need to post some piccies soon!
I was just popping in to see how Ferrals was going - CONGRATULATIONS FERRALS!!!! I am so happy for you and your little girl!!
Teagam - thinking of you and I hope it all goes well.
Reet - we didn't find out, we also wanted a surprise.
AFM - I'm just loving being a mum! Our little girl is just beautiful, and no I'm not biased! I can't believe she is almost 6 weeks already - where has that time gone???
Thinking of all of you, and wishing you all the best for the remainder of your pregnancies!!!!
Audax - I'll definitely be bargain hunting for the cradle/bassinette. I love that your cot has a story, that's so nice.
Milly - Hi! Great to hear your little girl is doing well, and looking beautiful.
AFM - I've made 2 futile attempts to get into the pool today, both of them thwarted by the lack of direct sun. It's still too breezy and cool for the water to be warm without the sun right on it, so I chickened out both times and am sitting on the couch in my swimmers (with my belly poking out BIGTIME) sulking. LOL. Maybe tomorrow.
So i went to the dr today and got my blood work back my A1C for my suger was excellent but my total cholesterol as to high so had to have a fasting blood test done today to see what is going on.
Oh my god.. just got home from the emergency dep.. i was just about to go to bed at about 10pm, went to the toilet, wiped and saw blood. MY WORST FEAR. Its what i have been imagining seeing for the last 14 weeks... so so scary. I was shaking when i called dh and asked him what i shld do.. he said u wont be able to sleep u may as well see if u can get an u/s done.
I called my sisters and they came in with me.. it took about an hour to see anyone, the dr had a feel of my tummy, did an internal ( with her fingers.. i thought wen she said internal she meant an internal u/s) took some blood, took a swab of the bloody stuff and told me to go and wait for the results. I realised that she wasnt even going to worry about an u/s so I had to ask if it was possible to get a doppler to check babies hb.. i had done it at home but just wanted to be sure i was listening to the right thing and that it was still strong. She told me she wld have a look around for it and let me know (i cant believe its not the first thing they do when there is a risk of m/c!) Thankfully she came out and got me and said she had found someone that cld do a quick u/s. The u/s man was quite mean tho! He asked me if i had any previous scans done and i said yes 2 (i didnt tell him about my 2 weekly ob. appointments where i also get u/s's done) He acted rather shocked and asked me why 2! I said a dating scan plus the 12 week scan.. he asked why 12 weeks? I said just to test for DS and the trisomy things.. he looked at me like i was crazy and said ur 24 and testing for those things.. and i said better to be safe then sorry, he replied with oh but that opens a whole new can of worms that u wld have to deal with. OMG!! gggrrr i just said.. yeah im very lucky it came back all fine.
He had a look at baby and said something along the lines of 'Ok is that all u wanted to see?..yes u have a baby in ur uterine'. And walked out. Rude man.
I was reassured after i saw our little baby still moving around and i wld have been happy to have just gone home (1am by this stage) but the dr said i had to wait for bt results to come back.. finally at 2.30 she came and got me and said everything is looking fine, their not sure where the bleeding is coming from.
I just dont know what wld have happened if i hadnt asked for a doppler to be used! What good really is finding out my hcg levels, hemaglobin (sp?) levels (when i have told them i havent lost a lot of blood) and blood group! None of those things say that my baby is alive! They did keep saying to me tho that if i am m/c there is nothing they can do other then make sure im ok.. Great reassurance guys!! I do realise that! Im here because i need some reassurance.. NOT because im scared im bleeding to death!
Anyway the main thing is things are looking alright now.. the blood is a bit orangey/ browny and its only when i wipe or push a little (tmi). Im really hoping it goes away tomoro tho.. i honestly cant live in fear of bleeding for the rest of the pg! I was just starting to relax the last 2 days too... Good one universe!!!
Sorry that this is so long and rambled.. i am super tired.. just trying to stay awake til 4am cos i have to ring dh for his wakeup call to go to the airport so he can come home... yay!!! (by the way he was already meant to be coming home in the morning thank goodness.. this isnt some emergency trip )
Nite nite xxx oh and pls everyone tell the bleeding to bugger off for me!!!
Reet i am so sorry that you had to go though this its bad enough to worry about the baby but to be treated like that. I had to fight one time also in the er to get a us done to check and make sure that the baby was okay. Praying that everything is okay
Angelfish - Good luck bringing that cholesterol down. I've heard it isn't the most difficult thing to do, so with some good advice from the dr you should be fine.
Reet - what a rude man! I found the hospital to be really harsh and un-caring during my mc, they had the attitude that sh** happens and that was that. My heart was in my throat though when I read that you had some bleeding. Keep your feet up, don't lift ANYTHING, and remember the odds are still in your favour. Do you know where abouts your placenta is located? If it's low you can have some bleeding from that. Or perhaps your cervix was slightly irritated by something? Hang in there though, I've got everything crossed for you that this was just a little speedbump.
Hi girls.... im having a panic... my nausea has pretty much disappeared today after being constant since 5wks... I am so worried... i rang my obs rooms and doc assured me its normal and it will probably come back... did this happen to anyone?? sorry for the me post but im so petrified of losing this little one and i know you can all relate to that fear
T-Hopes the exact thing happened to me at 8weeks. All my pregnancy symptoms just vanished on day and stayed away for 3days. The MS came back for a day only to disappear again. It continued with this pattern from the 8weeks to 11 when it stayed away for good. I was very anxious also that I had a missed m/c. At times I spent almost all day crying over it comletely convinced I had lost bub but on Tuesday bub was still in there doing well according to the Ob. Even now at 16weeks I still have days where I feel I have probably lost the baby. Its torturous and I think LTTTC and lossing past pregnancies has totally fueled my anxiety. Hope you get some reassurance soon that everything is going fab!
Yep, same thing happened to me around 8 weeks, woke up one morning feeling quite good and then burst into tears when I realised I wasn't feeling sick. It came back the next day, it's totally normal to have it go and come back as the placenta slowly takes over. It is so incredibly difficult to believe that everything will be ok....but everything will be ok
T-Hopes - My nausea came and went so many times, I kept thinking 'oh thank god ms is over' and it would return with a vengeance every time. I'm sure everything is fine, but totally understand the worry.
Mildez - All of your anxieties make perfect sense. It's totally natural. Also, just wanted to say cool ticker, I love it.
Kit - Hey! You've been very quiet and mysterious lately. Look at you almost 29 weeks...... how exciting
AFM - I have this weird high up pain near my ribs which comes and goes. I have no idea what might be causing it... but it's kind of sharp and uncomfortable. Maybe it's my organs being smooshed into their new smooshed up position? Blah.
Thanks so much for replying girls... i was a wreck today... i ended up calling my ob again and they squeezed me in for a little scan... and your all right... bubby is well... its just its mum that is going crazy!!! Heart beat was beautiful and strong and measuring a few days ahead! Such a wonderful relief! I balled my eyes out of course! Its grown so much and im so proud!! Were so lucky we have a gorgeous ob that never made me feel silly for coming in... see him again in 11 sleeps for another scan!!
Thanks again gorgeous girls, your all wonderful! Sweet dreams to all xx
I am 6 and a bit weeks pregnant with a 5 year old and a 3 year old. I had a miscarriage between after DD1 , I didn't even know I was pregnant when I started to lose the little Angel. This evening I slipped over, I landed awkwardly but protected my stomach and now I have an aching side. I wish pregnancy could just be smooth sailing, with DD1 nothing was a problem (other than horrible ms) until she was born premature at 34 weeks. Then I lost my Angel, with DD2 the nuchal scan put my at 1.156 chance of a problem so there was all those issues to deal with, then she was born at 34 weeks as well. This time I just want nice ms, a nice nuchal and to get past 34 weeks to have a nice healthy baby.
) i honestly dont think i cld do it tho! My headaches arent THAT bad...
Hooray for the doppler too, and it won't be long now before the flutters start. I was sure I felt something going on around 13wks but it was soooo faint and only every few days, so I can't be sure.
