Good Morning Everyone,
There is such a good feel in here at the moment. I've made my way through the previous pages, and look forward to getting to know you all.
I hope you don't mind my entry. I have been in previous discussions on this board as I have been pregnant in the past but have never managed to keep a pregnancy. So after three rounds of IVF & two miscarriages I find my self pregnant without science! It's early days yet and I am so anxious, as only you guys could understand.
I hope I can lean on you guys and learn from you too.
best of luck to everyone.

dory - how exciting that it's tomorrow! 23rd is a great day to be born, and I think the sun might even come out (although you know I love the rain) Did you re-arrange the pantry? It's one of my favourite jobs, it drives my mum mental, I do it at her house every single time I visit. Last time I found 10 year old glace cherries in her fridge. 10 years! And she only moved into that place two years ago! And, get this - she was mad at me for throwing them out :lol:
ferrals - that reminds me of this time last year, when every week was waiting for blood test results and phone calls. Keep busy, my love. Maybe handle it dory-style: bake some cheesecake and re-arrange the pantry? :lol:
milly - congratulations on your Lady Spud! How precious! Hope everything is going well for you.
Alice - just in case you're still stalking, I hope you're in here soon too. I MISS YOU!
I have a hospy appt today, and then first antenatal class tonight, wooooohoooo! I got a 2am wake up last night, baby doing a somersault. Then a 4am wakeup because my hearburn defending pillow mountain needed reconfiguring, and then at 5:45am because of bad leg cramps. That was it after the last one, so I got up and did a load of washing and cleaned the bathroom. Might try and sneak in a nap before hospy. Or after, actually, since I have to be there until 9pm tonight.
Anyway, super uber one hundred times good luck tomorrow dory - will be thinking of you!!!

Hi guts, sorry I haven't been around much, but I've feeling really bad right now.
We went to the show yesterday instead of going this sunday, and while we had a good time I didn't stop to rest as much as I should and someone stole our DS's comfort toy - a fluffy black and tan stuffed puppy with a red and white santa hat. I'm so angry, because they took it right out of his lap in the Whiskers cats section of the Flowers, Gardening and Pets Pavilion. I'd stopped to look at a cat, and one second it was there, the next it was gone. I got soo stressed out and worried. Who would want to steal a mangy looking stuffed toy that stinks to high heaven (obviously why DS loves it to bits and won't sleep without it!) and has been slobbered on so much that it's no longer fluffy and the tail end of it has been chewed on and slobbered on so much that the tag has turned grey, and Stupid me forgot to label it with DS's name and address before we left!
And then when we did leave and got back to Flinders St station we found out that VLine wasn't running and we had to get a Bus all the way to Pakenham, so we wasted another hour waiting for the bus, had to wait another 45mins for the train to leave Pakenham and didn't get home until after midnight!
Anyway, we get home and I go to the toilet to find that I'm spotting a bit. It was late, I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was sleep so I went to bed and woke up this morning bleeding bright red red blood. So just waiting for DS to finish his breakfast and trying to get hold of hubby at work - no luck there yet :( And now I'm starting to get the odd cramp and I'm soo freaking scared and worried and blaming myself and all I want to do is just break down and curl up in bed and cry!
Worst thing is I have my first midwife appointment today, and I'm so scared I won't be able to do it now.
I also haven't felt the baby wriggling since last night either, and even though I know it's still really early days and it's so small it's making me even more worried and scared because I've felt it move first thing every morning since 10 and a half weeks!
I don't know what to do at the moment, I just can't think straight and DS is even picking up that something isn't right.
Sorry to lump this on you all, but I don't know where else I can go to say all this :(
-
JennaJayen: as hard as it is you need to try and relax and stay calm, can you call someone else like your Mum? Maybe she can come over look after DS or go with you and watch DS while your at the docs... Have you called the doc/hospital? Keep calling DH but in the mean time try and stay calm... I know it's easier said then done but please try honey......
Dory: I'm so excited for you for tomorrow I can not wait to read ur BA!!! And to find out if bub is a She or a He not that it matters but can't wait!!!
Mily: Congrats Hun on the birth of your little girl.... Can't wait to read ur BA .... Absolutely love the name as well.....
Hello to all the lovely ladies!!!
-
HPL - Thanks darl, it seems to be dying off now, I just got so scared because it was bright red and more than just a few spots in mucousy discharge like it's been most of the times it's happened.
I never had bleeding with DS, and the only other times I have bled is when I'm losing a bub, which makes this so scary. I've never lost a bub after 8wks before, and bub is already over 7cm long and looks like a baby and I can't stand losing another one, especially now.
My mum lives up in QLD and I'm in Vic, so that won't work - thanks for mentioning it though - and my stepmum is having a fybromyalgia flare-up at the moment and can't go anywhere and is a stay at home mum to my half sister and half brother who are under 5, so she's got enough under her belt at the moment without having to worry about me.
The worst thing is that I don't drive, and hubby is an hour away at work with the car, though he's supposed to be finishing at 10:30 today so he can get home in time to take me to see the midwife.
I haven't called the hospital or the midwife yet, was going to do that once DS is all cleaned up and dressed, otherwhise I'll just be a complete wreck and would probably take him with me to the hospy without any pants on and butter & vegemite stained jacket and t-shirt.
I'd better go and get him dressed before he starts screaming the house down. I'm feeling a bit calmer now, still want to curl up and cry, but I'm not bawling like I was. I'll let you all know how everything goes this afternoon!
-
Oh Jenna I hope everythings ok, you can still get bleeds this far along, it's probably related to all the walking you did yesterday. Keep us updated.
DORY!! EEEEEE!!!! I love love love the idea of honouring your angels as you wait for your earthside bubba (it's counting down in hours now, not days!)
Milly5: Congratulations on your new daughter! :)
-

ferrals that is F#*ked! I cant imagine what you are feeling!
-
ferrals i am so sorry to hear that it dint work... it is ****, its not like you havent already been through enough, i have everything crossed that you have used up all your luck making a healthy bub
-
That is absolutely crap ferrals - I can't believe that!!
Jenna, hoping the bleed has subsided and it was from just too much walking
-
Oh Jenna I cant imagine how scared and stressed you must be! Stay strong little one!
Ferrals: F^$K F%&K F*(&K that is so crap...........BUT..............I say best use up all the bad luck for the tests and enjoy all the good luck with the BABY! What happens at 16weeks?? Scan or tests??
-
happy birthing dory!!!!
for tomorrow for all of you that are freaking out she is having it now :rofl:!
-
Birthing? Is Dory in labour? MORE FREAKING INFO TEGAM!!!!
-
No i meant for tomorrow hehe....but she isnt answering my texts!
-
S and S - not a problem, haven't been on here for a week, so will need to catch up on some reading. I hardly use the doppler now, I'm feeling movement intermittently. Not a kicking, but a sudden tightness and pressure from the inside. Incububs is just reminding me that there is two of us. Great to read your signature.
-
Yes, I know, such another long post..
Murraycod - a girrrl. so cute.
Angelfish - It's a girl. those scanning people can be so creative. Great to see a healthy little being doing what she's meant to be doing? How many weeks are you? So another little girl to add to these pages.
Sunshine and stars - full points for going to get the little heart beat heard. Mommy is behaving very normally and needed to do that. And, I just had to look up Acetominophen (I think that's a real USA term) which is Panadol or paracetamol, so that one is OK for preg. I've had to take a few lots for headache myself, a week or so ago, it helped me sleep which I felt was a better outcome than battling on with the pain. Sounds like you have a cold.
kkm - :welcome: Fancy that a natural one. Don't you have to roll your eyes about that, after all the efforts prior. Sending you a big hug.
Ferrals - everything crossed, even the eyebrow hairs (which have gone crazy lately for some reason).
Audax - yes, people are noticing. bIGGness looks heaps different to bellybellyness. I've got a little extra on my tum and until now the expansion has blended in nicely. No more favorite jeans for me though. :( Skirt will only last 2 more weeks, time to go shopping, or just hibernate inside with trackies.
forshelby - aaagh condensed cream, and the beautiful sick feeling after, centauri!! Guess what I had to go and do this week? (I now feel like an alien), I read the Quit the Sweet Poison book, aaaaghh, why did I do it? Puts a real dampener on things. Can't wait to try some of the recipes in it though, and I do trust what he says, yeah sure, maybe.... about not craving sugar after the withdrawal, more like dribble after reading these posts. And what a furry world you live in, sounds like the two of you are popular around the house, I'm imaging an overcrowded couch if all your furry friends get on well together.
Milly - a big welcome for your darling spudette, A treasured time for sure.
HPL - Congratulations!!!, getting late, so will seek avidly for BA in the next coupla days to find out the whole story.
Dory - hope you are in bed sleeping like a baby, for your so special big day today.
AFM - I had a dream I went into labour down the street and a couple of women got me onto a bus, but wouldn't tell my DH I was on this particular bus when we came to his stop. WTF???
May need some help with this one. All along when I kept thinking about having a baby I just thought that I would be happy with a girl. I haven't got any real bonding thoughts for a boy. Oh, Gosh, we'll see how we go at 20 week scan. May or may not need some major readjustment there.
Well, I hope I haven't written anything out of context, coz. I only got to read up til yesterday morning.
Hi and big circular warm fuzzy belly rubs to all.
-
timeforafamily i am 20 weeks along and i cant wait for feb
-
Dory I hope you have the most wonderful birthing experience and meeting your beautiful baby today. Looking forward to your BA. Woohoo I am so pleased this time is finally here.
Ferrals arrrrr I was so thinking surely they can get something. That so sucks. Its going to just make your pregnancy journal that bit extra longer as I am still confident bub is very healthy and happy especially with the low NT result you had and all the good signs you have had. I am sorry however that it means more stress and that worry still isn't over for you.
Jenna I hope everything has settled down with the bleeding and you have had some reassurance bub is just fine.
Milly woohoo CONGRATULATIONS spud is a girl.
Murraycod woohoo and CONGRATULATIONS on finding out your little bubba is a girl. A beautiful daughter. DD's are tops although I don't have a DS to comment lol
Angelfish your clever bub having a sex change lol. Congratulations on having a DD. Girls are ruling at the moment so it seems.
Kmm welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy and doing it by yourself. Hope you have an exciting and uneventful 8ish months.
Hello to everyone else. I'm 11weeks today woohoo. 12days until my next scan and then hopefully I can stop freaking out as much. I looked more pregnant at 8weeks then I do now. Hope everything is still going ok.
-
Mildez: still have days were i look down and say Ooops babies hiding today and then the next i look ready to pop! strange! 12days, yippy not long to wait!
Angel: 20weeks YAY
Timeforafamily: Id say dont worry about your reaction to the sex til you are told. Once your looking at you fat little 20week scan you'll be in love with whatever it is!
:hello: everyone. All good here, 25weeks tomorrow!
-
Thanks ladies,
When the geneticist rang i actually laughed when he told me i said surely you are joking two people cant have that much bad luck.
He wanted me to go to RNSH and have another cvs today i said what for they could f#ck the whole thing up again it's to late for a normal termination so no i wont be having anymore invasive testing until there is a sign on u/s of a problem.
I am scared a little and disapointed we still cant get excited or buy anything we are just in limbo and i am missing out on my pregnancy by the time we know if everything is ok i will be halfway.
I really wanted to avoid what we went through with Abbi now we are going through the same thing.
But DH and i agreed either way this bub will now be born either at 19 weeks or full term and will be part of our family and we have to get through it together( i love my man so much).
-
Good Morning all and good luck Dory! Ferrals and Jenna, I'm thinking of you both. fingers crossed. & Murraycod, Milly and Angelfish congratulations on the pink news! To everyone else, I hope things are going well.
Thank you everyone for their warm welcome, it's nice to have people who know I'm pregnant! Scan for me in a couple of weeks. until then I'm trying as hard as I can to relax. To be honest I don't think I'm doing a great job. Does anyone have any tips, to make time fly?

All the best for today Dory. Thinking of you lots. Found it hard to get to sleep last night thinking about you and today. Looking forward to hear about your wonderful news. Mwah!!!
-
Ferrals-- You have an awesome man there! If it helps any, we are stressing here too, as we decided against the CV test and probably amnio, which in my case, people think I am nuts. I just feel differently given everything we went through to get pregnant. When I worry, I tell myself that this bub is part of the family, no matter what. That is, on good days, I think this. On bad days, I freak out. You and hubby are strong, and your little tyke in the womb is going to be a happy camper... sending positive vibes your way!
Jenna-- I hope all is well for you and that there is no cause for alarm. Thinking of you!
Kmm-- The only thing that has gotten me through the last 14 weeks (honestly) is this web-thread. I told my hubby that it has been a godsend. We joke that I will have to take a trip to Australia someday with the baby as a thank you! LOL! Actually, that would be a dream trip. So, in terms of passing the time, I vote that you plan your dream vacation with the little tyke (in your imagination) -- that's gotta take up some worry space!!!
Tegram and Angel-- Congrats on your weekly milestones! :clap:
Mildez-- congrats on 11 weeks!!! Yeah!!! When I reached 11 weeks, I was still freakin out so I made a deal with myself. I could pick out and buy one Children's picture book for every week that I successfully passed. By the time the baby arrives, I will have a library. If something happens that isn't positive, then some little tyke is going to get an awesome book collection! Anyway, it has been a lot of fun, because I make my DH listen when I read the stories aloud. It's a crazy ritual, but it keeps me out of the baby stores for now.
-
Shoot, I somehow hit the send button accidently.
Sorry if I missed a couple of persies-- I am technically challenged here.
AFM-- Sneezing and blowing my fool head off. Trying not to drive hubby nuts. Stayed home from work again today. Managed to eat a little. Still thankful (very) that I don't have a fever. Supposed to get a sermon together for this weekend, and for a special baptism service, and I am BEHIND. Has anyone seen the Vicar of Dibly? It's a hilarious English show about a vicar. I'd love to see her pregnant. Just the thought makes me laugh!
Sending laughter and good wishes to all-- seriously, you folks keep me sane. And I can be a bit crazy here!
-
Hi everyone, just stopping in briefly before our internet runs out (can you believe that they still haven't called me to organise for our new internet to be installed? It's been 35 days already!).
And everything is ok!
Scan went well, bub is still there, growing and wriggling around.
Even put it's hand in it's mouth and sucked on its fingers for us :)
Heart rate was 146bpm, bub measured at 7.83cm CRL and 13wk 6d, so everything is going to plan and still measuring 4 days ahead of dates.
No sign of where the bleeding was coming from, so I'm back on couch rest for the next 2 weeks until I see the midwife again on the 6th of October.
Just have to call the hospital and book in now, but might wait until after the midwife appointment to do that.
Just super relieved that everything ok and super exhausted from it all as well.
Thanks everyone for your support! I'm going to head back to bed for a bit while DS is busy running around like a headless chicken!
Dory - Good luck today darl :) I can't wait to read your BA and your Birth Story :)
