Hi Lovely Ladies. Sorry I've been MIA again - getting really busy at work as I work in Tourism.
I've tried to catch up and I'll try to do some persies.
Rach & Mel ~ Congratulations and I hope you're in here for the next 9 months or so,
all the best.
Lysndan ~ so sorry to hear about your friend - very tragic. I know the feeling as my sister died tragically in a car accident. Hugs for all you've been through! Glad bubs seems to be doing really well, FX'd hun.
Cruising Turkey ~ I know the feeling, Ive been freaking out because my boobs havent really been sore and my tummy doesnt seem to be growing much at all. I'm sure everything is fine for both of us though, everyone is different.
Blondtress ~ congrats on the good low risk and pleased everything seems to be going well for you!
Jenna ~ great to hear everything is on track hun!
Wannabemum ~ sure it will be very soon - all the very best!
Angelfish ~ hope everything's ok and you manage to get some rest!
I'm sorry I may have forgotten people - promise I'll ctach up soon and GL to everyone!
AFM ~ well was getting concerned as I dont feel like I'm growing that much and Ive had some weird jabbing type pains and bad backache - probably just my silly body though as Ive always had troubles and/or perhaps uterus stretching etc. But this morning I threw up (at work) - im nearly 16 weeks and have had a bit of MS the last 2-3 weeks, didnt have any at the start.

The Mrs - fingers crossed bub would like to stay there for a bit longer, I'm sure it's very comfy
Loops12 - thanks for welcome I hope to be hear for a very long and boring 9 months, hope all is ok with you
Rach - glad you are still here lots of for both of us
Angelfish - hope everything is ok for you
AFM Well I had a scan today I'm seven weeks and bub is measuring 6 wks 4 days but doc don't concerned as we are talking minute millimetres, I got to see and hear a heart beat which was nice, my hcg as of Saturday were 36500. But even with all this positive feedback I still feel really uneasy about it all, I try really hard not to and keep myself busy (this can sometimes a bit tricky as I am a kindy teacher) Off to acupuncturist tonight maybe he can calm me down a bit.
Rach83 - I am so sorry. So very sorry. 2 in such a short period of time must feel a bit overwhelming. HUgs for you and we are all here when you need us.
Afm just a quick update. Bubba is still sitting transverse and I'm 28 weeks today. 34/36weeks they will start to worry if she hasn't turned head down. I really want my natural birth. I'm so scared of having to have a c section.
My bp was 122/80 so behaving. No protein in wee yay but still have mild odema. So onto fortnightly visits here.
I can't believe I'm 28w and in the third trimester! 2 more and ill be 30 weeks. Hoping bubba stays put for a while longer.
When am I going to learn to come on this thread more often??? lol
JJ - Oh boy that totally sucks I'm really sorry about the oral surgeon and all your car trouble. It must be a tough decision to make... coedine vs chair and local. I don't envy you. Will keep you in my prayers! Glad bub is going well though
LysnDan - Sorry about your horrible week last week hun *hugs* Hope things are much better for you this week! How is your Dad?
WanneBeMum - Are you still here? Thinking of you a lot! I have a friend who was due on Sunday and nothing yet! I keep stalking her and her hubby's FB's like a mad thing, lol. DH's cousin also had a bub the other day. Gorgeous little boy called Beau Hoping it's very soon for you! Thanks for thinking of us too... you are also a wonderful support and encouragement! *hugs*
BecnXavi - Ooh tongs might be a good idea, lol. I have started picking things up with my feet or bending sideways too, lol. Thinking of you and your baby girl. Isn't it wonderful that we can find out these things before birth? I mean it's obviously NOT wonderful about her heart, but the fact that we live in this time period and can do something about it is! Hope she is continuing to do well xxx
CT - Glad you can chill with your partner while you wait for bub Have fun on your travels! Hope your symptoms are back in full force! lol
Blondtress - Oh I really hope you don't have GD, but if you do I hope the OBs and dietitian are very helpful and lovely to you. Yay for low Downs' results. DH will enjoy the next scan Hahaha love your PG announcement! I am also going to have a high electricity bill this summer! It's 33 today but going up to 36 tomorrow and 37 Thursday! EEEK!
angelfish - Oh not the easiest of things to do! I guess all you can do is sleep while your baby is sleeping and try to do calm/relaxing things when not.
MelM - Rellies are sometimes not as helpful as they think they're being are they! I don't know anyone who could go through a m/c and not worry about the second pregnancy. It's totally normal! Sticky vibes to you! Hope the acupuncture helped.
Rach83 - I am so very sorry hun *huge hugs to you*
Loops - I also feel like I'm not growing much, but it's hard to tell. Some people tell me I look huge and others say I'm not very big, lol. Who knows? Hope your recent 'm/s' goes away!
TM - Hope bub settles down, turns around and stays put for much longer!
AFM - I've just been sort of hanging out waiting since my GD and iron test last 1.5 weeks ago. I have an appointment tomorrow though, so should find out how things are going. I have to say, I quite like having more regular appointments now. It gives me the reassurance every 2 weeks. Not that I go around worrying all day, but it's nice to have some kind of update. Then when people ask I can give them an actual update rather than, "Oh yeah, it's going well I assume" lol. Bub has been quite quiet recently until today. I think I'm noticing a pattern.... I have a few days of feeling like I ate a whale in the evening and not being able to each much after 5-6pm. Then I have a few days of being absolutely starving and scoffing food all day. Then I have a few days of a really quiet bub movement wise. Then I have a few quite active days. It's a weird pattern but it must be bub's growth cycle or something. I don't feel like my tummy has expanded further in the last 2-3 weeks, but at my last appointment the OB said there was still a lot of room in my uterus. So maybe bub is just catching up to my uterus before it pushes it further out again? Dunno?
I think I'm having sciatica, but not sure. What does it feel like? Well my 'symptoms' are a sharp pain down my right buttock after I've been sitting for a while, or if I move suddenly, like getting up or like changing seating position. It's not nice but it's fairly mild at the moment. Hopefully it doesn't get any worse!
That's about me for now! Hopefully I'll have more to update on tomorrow after my appointment (and it will be GOOD updates!)
