Ferrals those people in the lab need a kick in the bum
talk about torturing you. I hope they come in today and
Your little princess is perfect FX
I could have written that post too. Just don't feel
pregnant. Some body at work said you can't lift that your
pregnant I thought not me. I'm hoping the movement starts soon
So it feels more real
Mildez so sorry about your friend there are such sad stories it is
heart breaking
Ferrals....are you going to ring them every 5 minutes today?
Im off to work at lunch time, so make them tell you before then! hehe!! I want to go to work with a smile on my dial!
Tegam-I want to ring but part of me is scared to ring i will wait until 12 then ring i will txt you if i get the results late this arvo i friggen better get my results today!
I am completely the same as all u girls!! Am absolutey freaking out!! I have been chatting to my MIL and SIL and they have both told me if i dont stop worrying so much that we are going to end up with a highly strung anxious baby!! Now get that!!! Grrrrrr! Ok SIL that has had 5 kids and perfect pregnancies.. i may have been like that too if everything had gone well from the start last time!!! It does frustrate me because this pg is completely different to the last and that shld be enough to keep me positive but at the same time I have read and heard just so many heartbreaking stories (like ur friends mildez) that it makes me realise that really u are never 'safe'.. anything cld happen right throughout the pg. And ur right mildez in saying that we kinda prepare ourselves for the worse.. like it wld make it easier if something did happen. I was so close to saying to my SIL yesterday that if something does go wrong with this pg she will be the first person i will be saying 'see! i told u i had reason to be scared and anxious!!' I know thats ridiculous tho.. she wld probably just want to say back 'no u have brought this on urself from all the worrying and anxiousness' ...I got that a few times last pg.
I really do believe i need to start enjoying this pg..otherwise i will miss the whole thing!! But does anyone have any pointers on how too??! Anyone?!
Kell- Im not feeling much connection to this baby yet either.. i sometimes have to stop and think.. there is something growing inside me!! I lay in bed hoping that its going to do a little kick just so i know its in there.. i know its too early tho. I think i am going to start up pregnancy yoga.. apparently that focus' alot on the baby etc.. it might help to make things feel real and me more at ease.
Sunshine &stars- I am very small too.. a 10b infact (not sure if ur measurements are the same over there) I was really hoping i wlda started sprouting by now! I started thinking maybe b/f will be a problem for me too (i think thats just our paranoia coming out tho) I also started thinking that maybe this pg wont work out because my bbs arent sore or changing (WAY TOO MUCH paranoia on my behalf!!) But like forshelby said.. give it time im sure we will be blooming soon!! :)
Ferrals- Grrrr! They BETTER tell u before the weekend starts.. Im shaking my fist at the universe too! Unbelieveable! Did u call them at 12??
Forshelby- I got over the whole sour cream thing.. all i feel like eating now is something healthy and yummy... like sushi!! One of my friends has said she will make me some.. but im not sure when that will be.. i want it now!! Did u satisfy ur craving?? Did u figure out what it was??!
My mum had leaking bbs from very early on.. it must be normal in some women! I just want mine to grow!! Theres some days where my tummy pops out way further then them.. now thats not normal!! That was happening before i was pg too! :)
AFM- Well i wasnt going to tell u girls cos i know u already all think im way too crazy and paranoid as it is..! haha.. But... I have ordered a doppler online! I am really hoping it arrives today.. i ordered it last friday.. I have promised myself i wont stress out if i cant find hb.. thats also why im hoping it arrives today because i know i have a midwife appointment on monday so if i cant find it hopefully she will be able to put my mind at ease! :)
Stalking just before work.....ferrals, you must be going insane!
Hi guys, I haven't been in for a bit, have been stalking though.
I've been stalking Ferrals too, so just wanted to wish her luck in here - she already knows how much luck we all wish her in the BellyBuddies thread :)
Hope everything is ok and that you've called them and told them to get their butt's into gear!
Hope everyone else is doing ok!
afm - I have my next midwife appointment on wednesday, and then my Morph scan on the 3rd where I WILL be finding out the sex of Little Dragonfly :)
It's hard to believe that this is the second time I've made it this far, but it also feels like the first time all over again.
Hubby has been sick with whooping cough, so I'm on antibiotics as a precaution at the moment - can't wait to finish them because they make my MS worse, just as it was starting to ease up lol
Also got prescribed Pramin tablets last week for the nausea & throwing up... and then smart me asked in emergency on thurday night last week if it was the same as Maxilon(sp?) which they gave me after having morpheine and pethideine while in labour with DS and after the c-section lol it made me throw up every time, and the last time they offered it to me I told them, "lets not have that one for a change and see if I DON'T throw up" lol and I didn't, so technically I have a slight allergy to it lol
Anyway, just wanted to stop by and let everyone know I'm still alive, and bub is crazy - awake and kicking every day and sleeping all night lol
Hope everyone else is enjoying today :)
WE HAVE A HEALTHY LITTLE GIRL :cheer::cheer::cheer:
Talk about keeping us in suspence i will pop back in later to fill you all in.
:dance::dance: WOOHOO FERRALS, so happy for you and your DH
Now go and enjoy the rest of this pregnancy xoxox
Sunshine - I think it's only natural to feel the way you do, given the long wait you had to endure to get this far. Try not to beat yourself up over being worried.... it's totally normal. Your boobs have plenty of time to grow, and even the smallest are capable of breastfeeding. Until you're feeling more positive though, I will be positive on your behalf. Also, your risk of loss now is quite low. The odds are on your side, hun. Hold onto that!
Ferrals - I agree about the name thing. I had a unisex name picked out for our first bub. To me, that name has been allocated to THAT baby, and is no longer an option for this one. It gives you a sense of the baby belonging to your family, and a way to remember them. I hope they come through with results for you soon.. this is ridiculous!
Mildez - I don't really know if there is any way to prepare for something awful to happen.. I like to say 'prepare for the worst but expect the best'. Easier said than done. It won't be long now before your belly is really popping out and don't worry about it being smaller now than at 12 weeks. Could it be that some bloating has subsided a bit? The fact that you care so much about this other lady means you're very special indeed. It's hard when there's nothing we can do to help them along.. maybe just be there to hold her hand and support her as best you can. Feeling awful is a good sign that you're a deep and caring woman, capable of real empathy. And that's what she needs right now. :)
Kellie - Won't be long now and you'll be feeling those first flutters. It is all very abstract though until you've felt something, and your body starts to really change. But you're almost there, hun and doing great so far!
Reet - Don't let ANYONE tell you that worrying and being anxious last pg caused your mc. That's a terrible thing to say to someone, I want to slap them for you! There is and was nothing that could have been done. You did nothing wrong, you were just chosen to go through this, for reasons none of us will ever understand. I don't think you should worry about being worried either (does that make sense?) It's all about balance. For every negative thought, perhaps just try to challenge it with a 'why the hell not' attitude. For eg: you're stressing that bub might not arrive safely, ask yourself why the hell not?! The best way to enjoy your pg is to relish the little things. Not being able to do up your pants, those first flutters, the first time you get heartburn, needing a new bra... all those things. Every time you feel worry creeping in, remember your bigger bra, or pants being undone. :) It helped for me anyway. I just focus myself on positive things when the worry kicks in. There is no way to stop feeling anxious, really........ all I can say is balance it out with a healthy dose of 'I am bringing this baby home goddammit'. I did satisfy my craving, first it was chicken, then it was gingerbread... lol weird combo there. Find yourself a good quality sushi shop and chow down on something of the non raw variety. I used to LOVE sushi but I've kind of gone off it lately. Trust me, your bbs will grow in no time, and then you'll be cursing them because they don't fit into your tops, and you get that 'spillage'. I feel like mine are constantly hanging out for the world to see lol. I guess some days your tummy will be bigger than others, mine changes every so often, today it seemed really big when I woke up, then smaller by lunchtime. Then I had lunch and WOAH big again. lol. Good luck with the doppler, just try not to over-do it. it might cause you more stress than not having one. But of course it's up to you, hun.
Jenna - Can't wait to hear if you've got a pinkie or a bluey growing in there. I hope your DH gets better soon, must be scary having whooping cough so close to you... not to mention worrying about him.
AFM - So the morph scan went well today. Unfortunately for me, I had to get a trainee, and he was VERY slow and didn't really tell us much about what was going on in there at all. He seemed a bit........... underskilled. For what was meant to take an hour, it took him 2. yes, 2 hours of having my belly prodded and lying in a freezing cold room. I didn't even get to see much of bubs because there was only one monitor, and he was kind of hogging it. He was a nice man, but I was disappointed that I had to miss out on a lot because he was under-trained. Anyway he had his supervisor come in after and she basically re-did everything he did, and took 10 minutes to do it. By that point I was starving, thirsty, and getting a bit fed up with the whole thing. DP reminded me afterwards that they have to learn somehow, and we've done a nice thing by helping him to do that. Pity they didn't ASK me though. Ok so enough rambling. Bubby is doing well. They were surprised we didn't want to know the sex, and might I add...... what cute little chubby legs baby has now. He/she has grown a lot, and as I suspected, favours my left side. The only part I'm worried about is the position of my placenta. They said it's a little bit low, and the bottom of it finishes right next to my cervix. So I have to go back at 32 weeks and have another scan to see how it's going. I really didn't want to have a CS............... but I'm trying not to think about that now as there's plenty of time for things to change. I didn't get to find out baby's length measurement, and didn't get a 4d scan. :( All in all though, I got what I needed, and that's all that matters. HB was 158bpm. I snuck a peek and couldn't see any sign of a penis, so I'm putting my money on a little girl. Phew, that was long. Good work if you got this far :)
OMG YAY FERRALS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooooo thrilled all turned out ok. Let's all do a victory dance
:dance:
Ferrals word can't describe how happy, relieved I am feeling for you and your family right now. I'm stoked you finally have the answers you need. What brilliant news woohoo.
Shelby shame you got a trainee but your right everyone had to learn and sounds like you were his guinea pig. Bub sounds perfect. I too had a low lying placenta with DD. It was covering part of the internal os at my 21week scan but by 33weeks its had moved out of the way.
All I can say is WHOOOT! YAY for Ferrals & her DH and boys :)
I've said everything else already :)
I have been on here ALL day waiting for you Ferrals!!!!!!
THAT IS AWESOME NEWS!!!! So very very happy for you and your family!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY :) :) :) :)
HOORAY FOR LITLLE LADY FERRALS! I don't want to say I told you so... but I have had sucha good feeling about this baby from the start. She's going to do big things for this world.
forshelby - congrats on your scan! My placenta was low enough to be over the cervix at 20 weeks, but last week it had moved. Most do, so don't stress it, OK? Also, on the sushi, do you know that rice is a risk as well as the raw stuff? Some people know and don't worry, but I'm off sushi altogether unless I have made it myself.
My little passenger and I are a bit exhausted today, so sitting down to a huge afternoon tea of banana bread. Yums.
Ferals - well done girl. So happy for little Miss Ferals. Got to run, but your news has made my day.
Forshelby-good to hear your little bub is doing well.
Audax-I am happy for the i told you so comments i wished i had believed them then i wouldnt have worked myself up in to such a state.
AFM-ladies i am exhausted and drained i will catch back up when i can stop coughing so dam much.
forshelby - yay on your scan going so well - pity about the trainee though
ferrals - now go and get yourself and ur lil princess a good nights sleep
Hi to everyone else
Ferrals - I hope you feel better soon darl, I hear you on the coughing - I'm still coughing from last week. *HUGS* Hope you get a really good nights sleep tonight!
