Well I have been a bit insane today ...... Didnt get much sleep last night, had really sore hips and lower back and no matter where I was sleeping, I couldnt get comfortable and I had pains running down my legs . So today I have been negative and thinking that the baby is not alright,
So I made an appointment with my local GP and she has a doppler machine, and she found a heartbeat really easy and all is OK. I think it is just lack of sleep and also another girl at work announced that she is pregnant and due 3 days after me and I automatically thought that I hope this time, that I get to bring the bubs home and not have to watch somebody again...... but I am feeling heaps better now.
Oh and she also said that I wouldnt be feeling movement yet, not until at least 20 weeks. So I must have been wrong, but I am sure it was.... oh well....
Katie - checking on you..... we are all so excited for you and awaiting your news and we all want to see pictures of your precious little girl.
Jo - good on you and DH for making the decision to TTC. I will be thinking of you and you have a quick result soon.
Hammi - You are such a sweetie thinking of me. It is truly a miracle and I when we announced that we are pregnant, thats exactly how I said it. Our miracle baby was conceived naturally...... I wish you all the best for your TTC journey and hope to hear great news soon.
Lan - look after yourself, I know how busy you have been, but please make sure you get plenty of rest for yourself and little bubs.
Tildy - glad your scan went so well. You are such a strong lady with all the bleeding you have had. Having this bubs and having only a little spotting has made me a lot stronger and has also made me realise that spotting is not always bad. How are you going with the bleeding etc.
Laney - glad things are going so well. We will all be here for you and getting past that 28 week mark.
Rozzie - how are you??? yah for initiate some fun.... I am still so nervous about it and am so scared to have any spotting etc. Though I have been having the sexual dreams as well. I think it has something to do with the increase of blood flow to that region....
It's our 3rd wedding anniversary today, and the first one I will be present and conscious for!! I was deployed overseas for the first and had surgery under general on our second. Can't drink this time, but being present and awake is still an improvement
We're going out for a nice dinner.
Sue, all respect to your GP but she is completely wrong about movement... every book and site says from about 16 weeks is the usual time to feel movement for first babies, and generally earlier for subsequent pregnancies. I've also read that most doctors agree that feeling movement is possible from 12 weeks, though of course most women won't feel it quite that early. I'm not yet 20 weeks, and I can actually see the movement from the outside now, and DH has been feeling it for a couple of weeks. You know your body, trust that your baby is kicking away in there!!
I am soooo tired all the time... much worse than last time. I thought it might be iron but the tests came back fine. I mentioned it to my mother and she pointed out that I've been pregnant over a long time with a short break in between where I had to grieve and also recover from the C-section... add to that the stress and worry that comes with pregnancy after loss and I guess it's understandable that my body would need lots of rest. Does anyone else have this issue??
Hi all. Well I am still here!!! We had our Ob appointment yesterday and he is happy for us to continue until 10 days late before he will induce. We had the heartrate monitored again and all was good, and he had booked us in for another monitoring on Saturday. Assuming it goes well then we will not be moving the induction forward at all. I really want this little girl to make her own way into the world, so I hope she decides to do so soon! I am getting no niggles at all, just a lot of pressure and some minor discomfort. I am having acupuncture done today so hopefully that will help, but to be honest...I doubt it! She is one stubborn child.
Rozzie - congrats on your 3rd wedding anniversary. We got married one day apart. I think it is understandable that you are tired, your mother is probably correct. It is exhausting enough being pregnant, let alone all the extra emotional and physical baggage that we all carry. Rest when you can.
Sue - I agree with Rozzie about the baby's movements. My ob said that I could very well feel movement earlier than 22 weeks - but they only consider is 'reliable' movement from 22 weeks. Maybe that is what your GP meant. Basically, from 22 weeks you should be able to confidently say that you are feeling movement each day, but this does not mean you can't feel some movement earlier. I felt movement from 17 weeks and felt it every day, it just increased and changed from flutters to rolls to proper kicks. Glad to hear the baby's heartbeat was good, and I suppose the pains was just due to your body changing and stretching - so fun!
Helen - sounds like you are busy with your properties. Make sure you rest up. Poor DS's fingers! I hope your appointment goes well on Monday. Keep us up to date.
Hi to everyone - Lan, Cindee, Jo and Laney. I hope you are all well. I am not sick of you all asking yet, I love that you are all excited for me! Besides, DHs parents ring us each night (separately) just to check - because you know we will totally forget to tell them! His mum finished with, 'Ok well I will call tomorrow' and DH said that maybe she should let him do the calling. It is sweet, but I can imagine it will start to get a bit much the furter overdue we go. He also reiterated to her that we will call when we go into labour and leave for the hospital but that I don't want anyone waiting at the hospital. His family live 3 hours away, and both parents are planning on hopping in their cars to get here the moment they hear the news. It is their first grandchild, so I do understand that they are beyond excited, but we have decided we want the first couple of hours with our little girl all to ourselves. I think we have earnt that right.
hey girls!
how hot has it been in melb? I am excited to be wearing a dress today but the humidity is horrible! This TTC thing is working for DH...we have never DTD so much! he is loving it and if anything has really helped our relationship get back to "normal".It is still quite nerve racking but this next () pregnancy is the last one. I cannot do this again...
katie - will check your pm but it must be nice to know some of your bubs personality is shining through with her stubborness. I understand the relatives completely. DHs brother tried to call him and because he did'nt answer he called the hospital to ask if i had been admitted and they said yes so he rang everyone to tell them i was in labour! we did'nt have a chance to get the news out!
syran - i agree with Rozzie about your GPs comment. I was told the same thing by more than one songraher and Doc, but one actually said you can never say never in the medical world...which i loved him for saying...its so true. You can have a "textbook" preg but even those are going to be different in their own way! Enjoy those moments and don't let anyone take them away from you!
rozzie - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!
hgirs -life is never boring is it! hope you have both recovered from the little accident! While we are nervous about TTC and the idea we are sure having fun trying!
ok, yet again have chosen the wrong time to type1 Em needs me to look at her dolls set up to go to kinder...i need to get on when they are not home!
take care guys, cindee/paula how are you guys????? hope all is well!
hi to everyone else!
