Oh my ladies sorry i havent been in.
had to run straight to work on monday after the scan and then again tuesday, didnt get home til 2am this morning and was up at 7 for school drop off! TIRED
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??
Will try to catch back up tomorrow avo!
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! :dance:
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!!! :dance: 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 :wall: :wall: :wall: 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.
Tegam - Hmmm what happens when there's no fluid? I've never heard of that one..... I hope all is well :)
Reet - LOL Ok, I'll just sit in the corner until your bump starts movin' and groovin'.... :) It's SOOO nice to be home again, our bed is so soft, and large, and snuggly.... it was heaven that first sleep. Every night we get into bed and give thanks to the mattress gods for our lovely bed. :D I wouldn't say it's crazy to have extra appointments.... but perhaps unneccesary. Not that there's a problem with that, you do what you feel like, hun, don't listen to anyone else. It definitely can't do any harm. Now it's my turn to be jealous though cause I have to wait a whole month every time. Excuse me while I go and sook in my corner. Oh and thanks for the belly compliment, a few people have said it's a nice shape.
Ferrals - I like those odds. I'll keep everything crossed until I hear from you tomorrow.
Dory - It sounds to me like you're doing a great job and everything you need to do to get that little girl of yours all chubby and beautiful. :)
hi ladies!!
Just popping in really quick to let you know we had our 6wk scan today and everything went perfect! our little baby has a strong beautiful heartbeat! It was so amazing! So tiny yet so divine! We are in love already :) Bubs was measuring spot on to the day too so were thrilled! We have another scan in a few wks just for piece of mind and then our 12wk scan is booked for the 6th Dec!
sorry no persies but im really unwell with constant nausea but its a great sign so im not complaining!
ferrals - thinkin of you tomorrow xx
tegam - so relived that bubs looks well, hope everything goes ok with the fluid!
love to you all and i will catch up with everyones news once i get my head outta the porcelain bowl :bellyrubs:
Woohoo T-hopes!! Am so happy for u and ur dh!!! Bet u cld finally breathe a sigh of relief once u saw that little flicker of ur beautiful babies hb! :) :) :)
Forshelby- U too cld probably be crazy like me and get more appointments but like u said their not necessary!! :) I might realise this after i have midwife appoint. on monday. U have just seemed so relaxed this whole time.. its such a great way to be! And u made it sound like u were sleeping on a rock hard single bed at ur grandmas!! haha come on it cant have been THAT bad! :) nah i know what u mean.. nothing beats ur own bed!
Ferrals- Am really praying that u get the answer u so very much deserve tomoro. Hopefully they call early! Will be constantly checking in to see how u are going.
Hi Dory- Sounds like u are doing a magnificent job! :)
I am still all headachey and lazy feeling during the days.. i have been told by a lady i work with that i need to stay busy so im not so tired during the day.. she cld be right but at the same time I dont feel like doing anything!!! I am waiting for my energy to come back with a vengeance! ..not sure if it will tho.. before i was pg i used to have a V (energy drink) when i wld start feeling tired and crappy.. but now thats a definite big no no! Ive tried berocca but it made me gag so cant go near it again.. oh well ill just keep plodding along! :)
T-Hopes - Awesome news, hun.... So pleased to hear bub is well :)
Reet - I can't explain the weird calm I've felt during this pg. I had a couple of panicky moments very early on....... and then nothing! Just calm and serene and feeling very floaty and wonderful lol. I don't know where it's come from because I am usually a worrier, and I do stress out about things out of my control sometimes. But not this. I always said to DP 'things will be different next time, and everything will be ok'. I don't know if I could get extra appointments now, the dr has seen how calm and relaxy I am and would just tell me to be calm and relaxy again lol. He's great though and I trust him. Oh and the bed at Grandma's WAS rock hard. It was a double, but my belly didn't leave much room. We couldn't roll over without bumping into eachother, but there were lots more snuggles with less room. I know the headachey tired feeling.. it comes and goes still. If you need a bit of a kick, perhaps just try a sugary drink? A nice smoothie or even a handful of lollies might give you a quick boost. Of course, that's only a quick fix and you'll crash again eventually. I've been allowing myself a maximum of 2 caffienated beverages a day. Either a weak coffee, or a can of coke does the trick for me. Just take it easy on that stuff if you decide to have one. Those V drinks are awful for you pg or not, and taste like crap lol.
AFM - I'm really struggling lately with 'unknown cravings'. I know I desperately want something, and I don't know what it is!! It's really frustrating. I can't describe it. I've had a thing for pizza lately, maybe that's what I want??
T-Hopes so pleased your scan went so well woohoo sounds perfect.
Forshelby- Ive got a tub of sour cream in the fridge and really feel like eating some but i have nothing to eat it with!! Its so annoying! A trip to woolies might be on the cards.. i feel like burritos or nachos or something.. yummo!! And oh yum PIZZA!! I have been feeling like a bbq chicken and bacon pizza for ages! (with sour cream smeared on the top! haha) But with just me at home for the last few weeks i feel like too much of a pig buying a whole one just for myself! Dh always feels like pizza so we will definitely be getting some when he gets home on the weekend. Mm mmmmmm :) All this talk about food.. im starving!!!
I love V's!!! How can u not?!! I was so addicted to them... but yes they are really bad for u pg or not pg. I wld be fine probably if i liked coffee.. i cld have my little caffiene hit in the mornings.. but i dont.. i also dont like coke very much.. unless its watered down maccas coke..& if im eating chips or something with it! :) All good.. the way im living at the moment it doesnt matter if im lazy or not.. i have pretty cruisey days! Ill just keep going with the flow!
Ferrals- Any phone calls yet??? I home ur phone isnt ringing too much today so u keep having little panic attacks. Thinking of u.
A bit of a personal question.. but when did everyone elses bbs start changing??? All i seem to hear is that its early on normally.. but mine havent changed AT ALL!! I keep checking all the time.. size.. colour.. any new little bumps.. but nope.. nothing. They're not sore either.. i did hear that if u never got any premenstrual bb changes then its normal not to get any tenderness during pg.. but i thought they wld be feeling a little bit different! Has anyone else been like me?? Or is it really abnormal?!
Reet - LOL... just have sour cream on finger. I won't tell anyone.... hahaha. I can't stand the taste of V, reminds me of beer or something else gross. Perhaps you could try Fanta if you get desperate, I hear it has caffeine. Though you're doing well without it, so no point me pushing the caffeine angle, lol. About the boobage, everyone is different so it's hard to say. Mine were a bit tender at the beginning, then grew about a cup size. Now they're the same, except they only hurt on and off. Probably way TMI here but my areolas seem a bit bigger now but I'm not noticing any colour change. I'm getting some slight 'leakage' too which seems early... nothing extreme, just a bit of milky stuff appearing. Oh and the bumpy things have been there since the beginning too. Trust me though, those bbs will grow before this pg is done, lol.
Of course as my luck would have it no results in today i hope that is not a bad sign that they found something and are double checking:shakehead:
Holy f&^&(ing Freaking Cow ferrals!
For god sake!
I have waited all day to get online and see how things went!
I cant tell you how ****ed off i am for you!
Throw the poor women a freaking bone would you world!!
Ferrals, you are amazing. Wish there was something i could do!
Ferrals - Ohhhhhh I am shaking my fist at the universe in general over here. That sucks bigtime. Did they say when they would have your results? Stay strong, hun.................... you've come so far.
Ferrals-- thinking of you and wondering how you are this morning (it's morning here-- LOL); I hope those people would stop making you wait in agony. I also hope you will be feeling better real soon.
I am really behind-- I've been hiding a bit. Just overwhelmed with work and dealing with anxiety. I haven't felt the baby move; we found out that bub is a boy, and even though we have a name all picked out, I am afraid to use it 'cause of the "what if" something happens. Sometimes I wake up and don't "feel" pregnant, then I look at myself in the mirror and tell myself "of course you are." It's pretty surreal. Somehow, I keep looking at 20 weeks as the half-way, almost there mark. Go figure. I need a shrink...LOL...and I go tomorrow...so I won't drive myself nuts.
Reet-- I am having the same concern about boobage. I am really small (normally) and still really small. Just darkened headlights-- but very few changes and no soreness. I worry about not being able to breastfeed.
Also-- been having weird thoughts about people (ie my mom and dad buying baby stuff). I don't want to have to "return it" if something doesn't work out. Why can't I be more positive? This is crazy!!!!!
Now you all know why I have been hiding.
I cheer all of you on-- but I don't feel like I will ever "belong"-- like I am a bystander and this isn't really happening. Maybe I need to see the shrink more often. LOL!
Sunshine and stars-I feel the same way i feel like i am pretending to be pregnant and i dont want people to see my belly but we need to see our babies as babies and giving them a name makes it real and if something did happen (cross fingers it never does) that is your baby and he will have a name weather it be now or when he arrives i am glad we gave Abbi a name she is our daughter and deserves to be part of our family even though she is not here with us she will always be in our hearts.
Thanks girls i cant believe they have kept me waiting WELL! actually i can i told you my luck sux i did not sleep at all last night i am still really crook with this flu and i had major cramping from all the coughing so i feel like crap and i can tell you now if i have not heard from the geneticist by 12 i will be on the phone barking at him to get me a result before the weekend starts ( even though i have no voice i will give it a good go)
Ferrals I can't believe the crappy luck you have been having. I'm really feeling for you and hope you hear soon that your second princess is absolutely perfect. I'm still crossing everything for you.
Sunshine and stars I could have written your post myself. I'm looking at 20weeks as the huge milestone. I'm not sure why its 20weeks and not 24/26. I now don't feel pregnant at all and even when I look in the mirror I wonder where my belly has gone. It was definately bigger at 12weeks then now (15) I am completely worried bub is not still alive which is why I am keeping to myself. I was feeling movements from 11-14weeks and nothing since. In saying this I've listened to its HB 5days ago at work and it sounded fine. It is such a mind game. I thought getting pregnant was the hard bit and deep down I know it was harder then this but I was expecting the 2nd trimester atleast to be easier, glowing etc and I'm still an emotional mess. So much for enjoying every moment of it regardless of how it ends which is what I really wanted to do. The fear is just so great. I do honestly think that the way you feel and myself and alot of us its a protection thing like if your not fully prepared for bub to come or almost expecting something to go wrong then if it does we have tried to prepare ourselves for it. Gee I'm not explaining myself very well. I know what I mean but I can't get the words out.
CONGRATS on finding out bub is a little man.
Well I have my Ob appointment next week which I can't wait for. I'm also worried about the 16week mark which will be here in 5days. Just looking forward to getting past that stage. SIL is 4weeks ahead of me and about to have her morphology scan. I know I am only a fraction behind but it seems she is so much more pregnant lol
Oh and another thing. I ran into a lady I work with yesterday and my heart just broke for her. She has lost her last 2 bubs at 17 & 18weeks and both have taken over 2years to conceive. I wished I could give my pregnancy to her. I feel so aweful that she has had such crappy luck and lost her gorgeous bubs and here I am pregnant. I can remember what a kick in the guts it was to find out someone else was pregnant and atleast for the past 3years I haven't been one of them. Arrrr I feel so aweful for her.
