Ladies - I am hearing you all, about the sex thing!! Thought I was the only one that shied away from it! I am terrified of introducing bacteria that could cause another infection! I am going to ask the OB on Thurs about it, I am sure he will say 'You are just being paranoid!' Besides the fear I have completely lost ANY sex drive as well so even just the thought is annoying, poor DH! Talk about paranoia, this is my third day now of feeling 'well', I don't feel one ounce like I am pregnant, I am worried something has happened and I just don't know it yet
I can't believe how little time I have these days to catch up on what everyone is doing.
Sue: I was so excited to see your scan went well. It seems that whevever anyone has a scan or a test or something i feel as nervous as if it was me. I didn't have time to post last night, but had a quick check to make sure all was ok. You are so in new territory now and really have good reason to be over the moon.
Rozzie: is your scan tomorrow? I'm confused because I had to catch up on so many posts. I'll be thinking of you and looking forward to checking in for some good news tomorrow night.
Laney: congrats about the nausea and I hope you can get some relief from feeling so down. When you have so much to deal with it is understandable to feel like you do. Just try and be kind to yourself and rest when you need to.
Helen: hang in there and try not to stress (I know that is impossible but it makes me feel less useless to suggest it to you!!) We're all willing you on to a happy and healthy pregnancy. When is your next check up?
Re the sex thing... I am not PG and my DH is not getting any!! I have no excuse other than being incredibly tired and trying to juggle being a working mum. I better get my act into gear or the whole ttc thing could take awhile!!
Hi to everyone else. Sorry I know I've missed most of you, but that's not to say I'm not thinking of you all. Have to rush off and get DS dinner!!
Oh I had to snigger to read that so many of us aren't getting any action in the bedroom. Heeee.
Sue, I'm super excited for you. Rozzie's right, the 12wk scan is great because you can see bub from head to bum (usually with feet in the air!). Have you bought yourself to present to celebrate the great results?
Rozzie, good luck with your scan today. Can't wait to hear about it. I was thinking that won't want to know the gender next time either but DH does. I'll just go out on a limb and say that I think you've got a girl in there :-)
Tildy, good to hear from you.... you horny thing :-) Big election day for you today. I'm holding my breath. I don't like it when they predict a big win because it may jinx everything!!!
Jo, oh wow, The Cycle starts. Mine is due in about three days. I hope that we get pregnant together like Rozzie and Tildy. It's debilitating when it's heavy though. I hope you're taking good care of yourself, your conception process starts now! Having said that I've been busting every muscle in my body with my move. We're still not done but new home is starting to look like a home now. I unpacked Hamish's stuff and put them into The Baby Room to get used to the idea. Of course I had to cry all over his things but I like going in there and opening the drawers to see little jumpsuits.
Hi's and hugs to Laney, Cindee, Paula and the lovely (and hopefully labouring) Katie.
Lan - sorry to disappoint but no labour yet! DH had to study all day yesterday so I had limited access to the laptop. It sounds like you are settling into your new home and it is nice that you have made a place for Hamish as well. I had only bought a couple of items for Nathaniel, one sits in his memorial box as it was the first outfit I bought and the others are going to be used by this bub. It is nice to know they are going to get used. Good luck with your TTC and don't tire yourself out too much - you need your energy!
Rozzie - good luck with your scan today. I can't wait to hear the good news. I know it will be nerve wracking but try to focus on the wondeful feeling when you see your baby's heartbeat.
I have had to laugh about all you admitting the lack of action - I am exactly the same and for exactly the same reasons. DH and I agreed early on that we would rather go basically without than worry ourselves if I was to have a bleed. I think it is pretty normal that we have all made this decision considering the heartbreak we have all experienced. I think the only people who would think we are all crazy are those who haven't been where we have. I know that it is all safe etc, but it is as much about state of mind. It shows we have very understanding partners!
Ok must rush, so hi to everyone else not ignoring you but have to rush off to an Ob appointment. I hope you are all well and belly rubs and baby dust to everyone.
scan went great!!! the sonographer said everything couldn't have been any better. The measurements were all a few days ahead, it was moving the whole time, she said it's a very happy baby!!! She looked at the blood flow and it was perfect, which was a big relief. I asked if they would normally do that at the commercial places and she said no, I would have liked to have been able to compare the results from the last pregnancy but it's not possible. Unfortunately the doctor was in Norway so we didn't see him, but they checked the blood test results and they were all fine, including iron which surprised me as I'm soooooooo tired... I guess it's just a more stressful pregnancy which makes me tired.
She asked if we wanted to know the sex and we said no... but on a frontal shot there appeared to be a very obvious something between the legs, and it looked to be a pair of somethings!! So it may have been the umbilical cord, but I'd be surprised if bub turned out to be a girl!!!
We're having another scan at 22 weeks, which is good, it will be nice reassurance.
Sorry for the lack of personals, of course I worked myself up and now I'm exhausted. Will write more later.
Hi Rozzie - congrats on your scan! So lovely to hear that you have a happy wriggling baby in there. You need to post pics in the gallery - but I have no idea how that is done. Congrats once again - love hearing good news.
All is good with me - the ob appointment went well and he also ordered a foetal heartrate monitoring which also went well. DH was worried for a while but it actually ended up giving us some much needed reassurance.
and I hope you can get some relief from feeling so down. When you have so much to deal with it is understandable to feel like you do. Just try and be kind to yourself and rest when you need to.
