Hey Ferrals - so happy for you. 8 fingers, 2 thumbs, 10 toes. Sounds like your little girl is doing all the right moves for her Mummy and Daddy. Haha, and didn't stop moving for the scan... Happy tears from me. What a journey!
Luna - Fx for you. Make sure you do something really nice and cosy for yourself.
Mildez - Go girl, let it out, vent away.

still laughing,
Oh, I better get off the floor now. thanks, needed that.
T-Hopes "AFM - feeling good so far, cramping is easing which is comforting! Has my 2nd lot of BT's today and HCG is now #591 (17dpo)!! Yayayaya! So its more than doubled in 48hrs so we are wrapped No guarantee's i know, but our nurse said its a good indication that bubs is off to a great healthy start!!"
Great news.
Angelfish - I found out that different Mums feel different amounts of movement because it depends on where the placenta is. If it's anterior, many of the movements are padded. Incububs placenta is posterior, maybe that's why I got the first flutters at 15 weeks, they didn't happen everyday though
Reet - just read your next post, skipping around now, I bet.
timeforafamily- yes it is a anterior placenta which has eased my mind a little i just wish that i was showing just a little more i dont feel that the uturus is were it should be i am 22 going on 23 weeks now
I just wrote a huge post and clicked on the wrong thing and lost it.
Luna-hope to see you back soon with good news.
Angelfish-my ex SIL had a placenta at the front and didnt feel any movements until late into the pregnancy and they were all down low.
T-Hopes-great levels not long until your scan.
Reet-I thought id feel better after weds scan but i am still concerned that our girl can have SLO but mildly there is such a broad variation from mild to servere even mild is cruel SLO babies dont sleep they usually have to be tube fed for months and are interlectually disabled and as they get older self harm and have autistic tendensies it is so scarey we should have had a definate answer by now if the doctor didnt stuff our cvs.
I was very bloated until i got to 12 weeks i felt really uncomfortable now i feel heaps beter although i am not sleeping real good either not sure why.
Sunny09-love the huge post thanks for dropping in on me.
Timeforafamily-it was a relief not seeing any extra digits i just wish this journey was over for me to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy.
AFM-DH doesnt want any further testing after our 18th of oct scan he says what we get when she is born we will deal with as long as she has no major problems like heart and lungs ect like Abbi did he said no one knows what they will get when their baby is born and no one can garauntee a perfect healthy baby but i dont agree SLO is a horrible syndrome and most babies die within the 1st few months of life and it's no life for some one if they do live i was leaning towards an amnio to be sure but he doesnt want one it's a very hard choice
Reet - You will fall in love with your bump in no time, I garauntee. Enjoy not having to worry about whether you look slim and trim for a while hehe. I know I am! Things are ok with mum, she seems excited about the baby now after I had a few arguments with her about her lack of interest. She isn't going to be there for the birth, nor would I want her to be...... she panics over nothing and just stresses me out over the smallest things. SOOOOO not the best birth partner lol. Also, she's about 12hrs drive away, so yeah. If I did ask her to come she'd probably just make a bunch of excuses about how she has a cat to take care of. wtf, I know.. but that's the excuse she uses every time I've asked her to come and visit us in the last 7 years. I just kind of gave up on her ever bothering to come and see us. Honestly though it's probably for the best because she drives me crazy with her whacked out point of view. Like you can't open a window in case it rains on a sunny day. And you can't use anything in the kitchen or it'll get dirty. I couldn't handle her nit-picking the way I live and do things. NORMALLY. lol. And don't worry, I'm taking the laptop to Melbourne. I would miss everyone too much. Congrats on having some quality toilet time hehehehehe. Your headaches sound exactly like mine. I had the same thing last night, the pillow was making my neck/head hurt. It doesn't always though so I know it's not the pillow, it's me! I still have a headache today, but I've just taken a couple of panadol to get rid of it because I'm sick of lying around feeling crap. I'm wondering if they're hormonal or what.... they remind me of my af headaches. I hope yours disappear and never come back!
Angelfish - You'll look pg in no time, hun. I'm the opposite, and getting comments about my belly all the time. Some people just don't show very much, try not to feel bad.
Luna - I hope to see you back here soon, jumping for joy that your baby is ok. So sorry hun, I'm keeping everything crossed for you and your precious bubby.
Ferrals - I hope you and DH can come to an agreement about whether or not to undergo further testing. I do understand his point..... but yours is valid too. You just want the best for your little girl. Totally understandable.
AFM - Struggling to get the house clean and everything washed and packed (limited wardrobe here, lol) for our trip. We have a friend coming to take care of the furbabies, so at least I can relax about that. I might try to make him a nice chocolate cake and leave a bottle of bourbon in the kitchen for him as a thank you. I was sooooo worried about leaving our puppy, but I know he'll be ok with our friend. Now I don't have to cry every day I'm away from my little mr snugglebum worrying he's heartbroken. LOL..... I'm such a sook! In pg news, I feel like my tummy grows every day, and my cravings change just as quickly. Today I want apples. And yoghurt. FINALLY I'm craving something that isn't completely devoid of nutritional value.
hiya all - geez I miss being in here... I really really enjoyed being pregnant... scary, overwhelmingly scary at times, but a very very special time. Don't worry abut whether you show or not... I thought I hardly showed at all and grew a ten pounder.
Ferrals - it is very hard, the syndrome is tough and it's also tough when you have different views to DH. All I can suggest is talk and talk and talk with DH about it... hopefully thre's a pathway through this for you.
Forshelby - LOL re your mum and you.
Luna - fx crossed and big hugs.
Murray - how are you?
Better run, out of time here.
I think of you all often and I do miss being able to get in here more often. Take care. All my love.
Dory - Hi, hun! I agree pregnancy is a very special time. My pg is going way too quickly, 40 weeks sounds like a long time until it's happening. It'll be over in the blink of an eye and my kid will be 15, saying he/she hates me, slamming the door and cranking up weird scary 'new agey' music. LOL. Unless I confiscate the stereo. I hope little Hannah is growing big and strong, and being kind to her Mummy and Daddy of course. It's always good to see you pop in, you've been an inspiration to us all, and continue to be.
Oh Ferrals: What a hard hard time there still is ahead of you. I cant even begin to suggest what id do. I have had no experience that would give me the inside knowledge as to what you are going through! Like Dory i suggest you just talk your hearts out...All my support and strength to you and your DH!
Dory: so nice to hear from you!
Hello everyone else!
Felling that pregnancy hump at the moment, where i am so sore and over it already but it still feels like an age before the baby comes! Hehe hopfully the old back comes good again soon and i can stop the self whines!! hehe
Angelfish- Oh u make me a bit scared that im going to be super nervous this whole pregnancy! I hope u can begin to feel less anxious before u/s's and drs appointments etc. soon. Like u have said a good heartbeat is a great sign.. i also need to remind myself of this everyday! When is ur next drs appointment?
TFAF- Thankyou so much for that info on ur friend.. I feel exactly the same! Sometimes i honestly think i cld pass for someone thats 6 months pg! Whenever i go out i always have to remember to hold my tummy in.. cos how embarrassing to be asked how far along i am and have to say only 12 weeks! I do have good days and bad days tho.. my digestive system has always been pretty slack. I started thinking about taking metamucil... its fine throughout pg?? hopefully it wont give me headaches!
Ferrals- I just feel super frustrated when reading ur posts.. why oh why did that stupid dr have to mess up ur results!! Its absolutely insane!
I think u have to go with ur heart.. if u feel strongly enough that u want the amnio then i think u shld have it.. atleast then u will be able to relax for the rest of the pg if everything is fine.
Forshelby- Oh im glad things are sorted with ur mum.. so do u think it will be u visiting her with bubs when ur ready or do u think she might be able to put her cat in a cattery and come and see u? (and stay in a hotel! ) Do u get on with ur sister? Will she come visit u??
And yep ur headaches do sound exactly like what i was having.. god i hope mine dont hang around tho.. it was continuous for 3 days but hasnt been back today.. hopefully it stays away.. from the both of us!! My mum said she had headaches for half her pg.. so it must be hormonal i reckon.
U leave for melb. tomoro hey! Woohoo! Heard its freezing there so take ur winter woolies! (that was from a cairns girl tho.. our freezing is 18 degrees!)
Hi Dory- Lovely to see ur name in here!
Tegam-Hope ur back is feeling better soon. Did u ever have problems with it before u were pg or is it just a pg thing?? Just so i know what to expect as i get bigger!
AFM- I have an ob. appointment tomoro.. i cant wait to see how bubs is going.. except im super super nervous once again! Im hoping everything is all fine so i can go to NT scan on wednesday without feeling stressed (altho im sure there will still be some nerves.. im hopeless!)
Make sure you do something really nice and cosy for yourself.
wtf, I know.. but that's the excuse she uses every time I've asked her to come and visit us in the last 7 years. I just kind of gave up on her ever bothering to come and see us.
