Hiya The Mrs (i feel odd addressing you like that :-p)
My EDD is 23rd June. I was just checking out the BB group and was thinking of jumping in feet first but am so scared I might jinx myself. I m/c in August and am pertrified. I am booked for a scan on 14th Nov to check for a heart beat and am on Progesterone and Corasprin to try and help things along but I wont be happy until I see a heartbeat.
If you could add me to the list that would be really nice !! I will prob refrain from joining the chatter until after the scan if thats ok.
Sorry I am such a chicken :-(

Don't apologise CT! We're all the same at the start tooIt was nice when I was going through this journey, all the girls (who now have their babies at home) were able to tell me I was normal. It's a good thing.
Jess - glad your scan results were good! My bubby's been measuring ahead because it's so high, so that's a possibility too, especially as a footling breech - just take every day as it comes chicky, and I am so happy for your good results!

Hi Lovely ladies
Sorry I've been MIA, work has cracked down on how much social media we use and thats where I do most of my posts because I work by the computer all day everyday so when I have my days off I just like to chill and do other things.
Welcome to the newbies and wishing you all the best!
JJ ~ great to see you in here! So happy for you, FX'd those levels pick up, may be just a slow starter!
The Mrs ~ sorry to hear about your scare but glad everything is ok. MY EDD is actually the 10th May, not 16th. Cheers
Positive, Hope Love ~ very sorry hun, thinking of you, hugs.
Lysndan ~ hope everything is well, FX'd that you breeze past the 26 week mark and hope to see you back soon.
Wannabemum ~ not long to go
Catch up more with everyone soon but wishing you all the best!
AFM ~ still kinda taking one day at a time but really wanting time to fly by, I just want to get to a point that I feel comfortable that all will be fine, think that will be a long way off. I know I need to be patient and enjoy the pregnancy but its very hard not to worry. Had OB appointment today but my NT scan and blood results weren't in grrr. Its been 2 weeks since the blood test and one since the scan. Im pretty sure I'll be low risk and fine anyway though. Now just a wait I guess until about 20 weeks for my next scan. Starting to look at buying some things which is exciting!

Loops - that's weird, I had my bloods for downs etc 10 days before the scan, and we found out the results an hour after the scan! DH was heading overseas so I rang from the airport so we could have the info together before he was in Europe. All they have to do is send the measurements to the blood place and they stick them in the computer. Pity your Ob didn't pick up the phone for you. FWIW - it took me a long time to be comfortable with the pregnancy. Until I had lots of movement all the time really. And I still have paranoid moments about not bringing a baby home. I think it's all pretty normal. On the up - 5.5 years and you're over 13 weeks pregnant! You're already an awesome Mummy!!
Was palpating (having a feel) of baby this morning and I think we're now anterior and starting to move down a little. Certainly not as mobile as it was a little while ago. Jess, sorry I didn't respond the other day, I forgot - we do have a name, but we're keeping it Mum. I'm kinda nervous to put it out there if you know what I mean. So you'll have to wait until baby arrives. We've got names for both genders actually just in case.

WM- No problem! Im just excited...did you go over with your first?

Hi everyone long time stalker first time user, well after 2 miscarriages this year we were nervously excited for alast week with doctor confirming it on Friday. As you can imagine I'm really trying to pretend I'm not yet just in case anything happens. My doc is happy to do bloods every week which is comforting and I'm also off to the acupuncturist every week to hopefully help with a sticky baby.
Registered User
Welcome MelM! Fantastic news for youWill keep lots of
for you - are you having an early scan too? There are lots of girls in here in early pregnancy, so there's plenty of good company
Jess, I was induced at 39+5 with DS, so I don't actually know when I would have gone naturally. I was on medication that meant going into labour while on it was really dangerous (for me), so when my cervix was favourable I was induced. So I probably would have gone some time in the 40+ or around 41 weeks. But I really don't know aside from not going early!
Registered User
Thanks for the welcomeI'm going to go for regular blood tests I had some early scans with first m/c and didn't deal very well with them after everything had gone south, maybe this will change, but I have an understanding doctor who is happy for me to test as many times as I need.

WBM - Ooh I so need to do some of those things you mentioned (sorting out the linen cupboard and going through baby stuff etc). I think it's only just felt REAL to me in the last week when bub's movements stepped up a notch - in amount and in intensity! But it has settled down again since last night. Weird. Anyway, Feb is creeping closer and closer and making me more and more aware! Not long to go for you! I'll have to look up that 'Birth Skills' book. I've been thinking about the birth more and more lately. When can you start feeling certain bits when you palpate? I think my bub has changed position and I have no idea what's where! lol
TM - I still haven't really ever had a proper look at Ebay, maybe I should hold off a bit longer if you're addicted so quickly? lol Glad your ultrasounds went well and you know what's going on with bubba and uterus. Hope she hangs in there as long as possible for you!
JJ - Your EDD is day after my birthday
dantri - So glad to see you with a BFP again!! Sorry it had to be in here though. Bubs sounds great so far! Will be stalking you
[QUOTE=dantri;2965859]*walks all the way in. closes door and sits in the middle of the room* Hope your 10 week scan goes/went well (sorry I don't know which Monday you were referring to).
HPL - I'm so sorry you're going through this again hunHope to see you in here again soon with a nice sticky healthy BFP.
embo - Welcome embo! Sorry you had to be in here in the first place, but congrats on your new BFP
LysnDan - Hope your reflux and heartburn isn't giving you too much grief at the moment
CT - Not sure if I've seen your name before and said hello yet, if not, hello! If so, I apologise! (baby brain :P) Hope your scan goes well and there's a big healthy heartbeat in there
Loops - Hi Loops! Hope you get your results soon!
MelM - Welcome MelM. Sorry about your 2 precious angel bubs
AFM - Well bubs scared me. Up until about Monday I'd been only feeling fluttery type movement really low down for several weeks, then it really started to get more often and more intense and all over the place! Not full on kicks and punches, but more than flutters. It's been like that all week, until last night. I don't know if it changed position or something, but the movements went back to fluttery and really low down. I've barely felt any movement since last night. I don't know if it's retreated further to the back or turned over or what? I'm just grateful every time I DO get that tiny little flutter anyway, cause then I know it's still okay. But when it's not for ages I get quite nervous. Sigh! Go back to your other position Bub!
I'm also wanting to get started on the baby's room, but DH didn't feel like it yesterday and we have so much junk to move into the shed, most of which is his! I wanted to do it yesterday cause it was the weekend and I get home from work on weekdays with no energy to do so. Hmmph. Hopefully he'll feel a bit more like it today! We're going to the baby market next week to find some bargains

Hi Pheebee
Thanks for you welcome. I dont think I have seen your name when I have been post surfing, so hello to you too ! and thanks for your well wishes.
Hi MelM and welcome. Its nice not to be the newbie in here for a changeha ha. i always felt like I had got to class late, missed the handouts !!
I understand how you feel with the fear. Completely natural and you sound quite calm and you are taking care of yourself, which is great! An understanding doctor is such a blessing. After your 2 miscarriages did he prescribe Progesterone or anything ?? I have my fingers crosssed for you and really hope that this little one sticks for you.
AFM- I have come to my mother in laws for 4 days (to sacrifice a goat) and have left all my pregnancy tests at home ! I know they wont prevent anything but I really dont have any pregnancy symptoms so its a little bit of reassurance that I am actually pregnant!! I am trying not to obsess and have been saying to myself every time a get a twitchy, crampy feeling that if something goes wrong at this stage that there isnt anything I can do about it and I should be enjoying these weeks of early pregnancy! easier said than done, of course, but I have to tell myself that things are outside of my control and too relax and send positive vibes to my little one and to let them know that He/she is very much wanted.
BTW - has everyone given up coffeE completely ?? even instant coffee ?? for some reason I havent missed the wine (???) but instant coffee is the first thing I think about when i wake up?!?!
well better go and find a hiding place. Its not going to be very pleasant around here this morning .....eeuuuwwww

Cruising Turkey - thank you for your welcome the gyno didn't recommend anything being only the second one and because we didn't make it too far in I was ok with trying one more time, we absolutely have no troubles falling I just have to work on the keeping. I have made it to the acupuncturist earlier this time so hopefully he will be able to help out well (in his nine years of practice he has only had two women have miscarriages) so
Phebee - thank you for your welcome
ATM - today wasn't a very good day, I think being the weekend and not keeping busy with work it allowed my mind to wander often. Who would of thought going to the toilet would become a nervous thing to do

Evening ladies!
CT – Congrats to you too! Same EDD – very exciting! You should come across to our belly buddies group – we’ll look after you there too
LD – 2 sleeps til 26 weeks! Not long now!!! I feel your pain re: the reflux. I take prescription meds for reflux normally, and GP told me to stop so have had to stick to Zantac which don’t seem to help too much
WM – not long now – very exciting!
The Mrs – glad all is ok with your results
Loops – congrats for venturing into your second trimester!
Mel – congrats to you! Its great that you have a supportive Dr who is willing to send you for as many tests as you like to try to ease some anxiety.
Phebee – thanks for the welcome. Sounds all very exciting getting the nursery organised. I hope you are able to find some energy and motivation to get started
Hi to all other ladies!
AFM – sick and tired all day, everyday at the moment. Even had Friday off work. I am so dreading having to go to work tomorrow. AAGGHH. On another note I have my first OB appt tomorrow arvo.

Just a quickie - Phee - good to hear from you again! Re palpation and feeling baby's head etc, it's only really useful in late pg cos baby can move all over the place. I've found the spinning babies website really good, and their belly mapping article can be found Belly Mapping article | spinningbabies.com I think bb has a link to it somewhere here too, but that's the link.
Just a quick update from me... 26w tomorrow and had my 3d scan today. She's still a girl and happy and healthy and also very cheeky... Lol putting her hands up on her face and hiding from the scanning probe (well trying to lol ) very happy with the pics and got a cd and dvd and prints coming too. Yay.

Angelfish, mine was $250 including a DVD a CD and 8 high glossy prints of baby, also half price off my next package. We got the more expensive package because it was a part of my bonding experience and celebration of getting to 26w there are more you can get so definately keep an eye out for them

Hi everyone just stopping in quickly now that I'm starting to get on top of the pain from my wisdom teeth now, so slightly more capable of doing things lol
Had bloods done yesterday morning, I find out the results around lunch time tomorrow.
The queasiness has kind of died off a bit, though that might be because I've been eating constantly lol I still have sore boobs, my I still have the "full" feeling in my belly, and I'm exhausted all the time, it was never like this with DD, so things have to be ok, sometimes I even forget that I'm pregnant. I hate all this fear, I wish I could just be innocent and enjoy a pregnancy.
I've developed an ulcer on the roof of my mouth now - tastes feral and feels weird, at least it doesn't hurt.
I'm craving chocolate too - and apparently I've lost 2kg since the start of october, so I can't complain about that lol
Anyway, I'll try my best to get back on tomorrow afternoon - can't guarantee it as it depends on how I'm feeling.
