First of all, good luck today Helen for your scan. I'm sure bub will be bouncing away at the back of your belly and you'll see why you haven't felt much movement.
Laney, where are you? Get on and tell us the good news. I thought of your little boy before I drifted off to sleep last night and visualised hard (I heard that works!) that he is big and bouncy and healthy.
Today is CD6 (the only benefit of getting AF on new year day is that I always know what cycle day I'm on just by looking at the date!) so I think this weekend will be action time. You too Paula?
OPK's are ovulation prediction kits. They look like pregnancy tests but they tell you have you're ovulating. Never worked for me. I have a Maybe Baby which seems kind of temperamental but fun to look at when it ferns.
Welcome back Megan. Sooooo, you're TTC-ing this month too? Fantastic. The more of us the better! When do you get the results from the blood test?
Rozzie and Tildy, when will you go on maternity leave? In March? That's no long you know!
Rozzie, the book I was reading said that ultrasounds can have an adverse effect on babies due to the way they work i.e. bounce sound waves off the baby to create the image we see. I have heard that some babies try to get away from the probe too. I want to be all mother earthy but I think I won't be able to restrain myself from getting scans, especially in the scary second trimester.
Jo (Luke's mum), congrats on making 24wks. Good luck for the prognosis tomorrow. Grow cervix!
Lan, I live in Homebush! I can't believe how close we are. Wonder if we have seen each other, or even know each other!! Freaky... I have PM'd you.
Laney, post!
Hi Megan, oh how exciting! Here's hoping January is our month. We can all start our own mother's group! All the best for the test results.
Helen, best of luck with the scan today. Can't wait to hear from you.
Jo, I am praying so much for a perfect scan tomorrow. I am so happy you have reached your 24 week milestone. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside
Rozzie, yay for bubs moving and reassuring you. Best of luck with your scan too.
Sue, I am so excited for you and DH.
Theresa, the proposal sounds so very sweet and you actually sound so much better. So happy DP (now DF) is making an honest woman of you and given you a helping hand to smile again after so much pain lately.
Paula & Lan, I'm 15 days pregnant today! Actually, I'm not sure when I am going to ovulate so DH and are BD ourselves silly just to be sure I have tried OPKs and just can't do it. It stresses me so much my hands shake like crazy that I barely get any wee on the stick!! (I think it's because it is so similar to a pg test that I freak out).
Good morning to everyone else and hope you all have a lovely day.
hey guys!
i have a splitting headache from too many hours swimming in the pool but had to check in for any news from laney? have been thinking of you!
hgirs -good luck with your ultrasound tomorrow!!
Well I feel exhausted! Corey had a bad night last night, topped off with me just not being able to sleep (I wonder why?). Scan was at 9am this morning, which I am happy to say was all good and cervix long and closed, longer than it was at this time with Cooper, YAY! Sent DH off to work and I waited for my OB appt at 11.30......Well got in to see him at 2pm!!! Not very happy, so then I went across the road for some lunch, (couldn't make it home without it) caught the bus at 3.09, home at 3.30 in here to update you all and see if Laney had posted ( I hope you are OK) now I have to run back out the door and pick Corey up from daycare. I just want to crawl into a ball and have a sleep. After having the scan my tentions eased heaps so I am being brave and going with the OB on booking another one in 4 weeks, I bet I'll get 2 weeks down the road and be panicking! Thank you everyone for your well wishes and I hope all the scans over the next few days make you all feel as reassured as I do (for now anyway!)
Yay Helen, congrats on the scan and your superlong cervix!!
Laney... where are you. Are you ok. I am starting to worry about you. Please let us know you're ok!
Diana: 15 days PG wooooohoooooooooo. I am busy trying to work out the whole CM thing. Not very good at it. Always in too much of a rush when I go to the loo!! I am either ovulating today/tomorrow or in about a weeks time.
DH and I are deciding whether to BD tonight (CD9). I did the ttc for a girl thing with Charlie and it worked and we are deciding whether to do that again this time round. Of course we don't care if we get a girl or boy as long as its healthy. I truly mean that, but is it completely uncaring of me to say it would be nice to have a girl so we have one of each. I feel morally challenged by this dilema. I know last time we decided to 'try for a girl' for one cycle and if we didn't get a BFP then next cycle we would just go hell for leather. I was thinking of approaching it the same way this time round but feel a bit guilty for doing anything that suggests we would not love to have a little boy as much as we would love a little girl which of course is not the case.
I'm seeking input from you guys... am i being a complete cow or what!!
Paula, I don't think so, we all know how much our precious baby's are wanted, I can't see anything wrong with you giving it a go to get a little girl. In the end though it's out of our control! I forgot to say that my placenta is attached to the back and low lying at this stage (hoping it moves up), but bub is facing my back which is probably why I haven't felt a load of movement. The boys were both breech from the 18wk scan onwards, but this one is transverse with the head lower, so I am crossing my fingers this time I will have a head down baby! I know it is still very early but I am really hoping.
It's so quiet in here that I am getting really nervous for Laney, please please come on and tell us about your scan, big hugs.
