Hey girls, sorry I havent posted since my gynie visit. No excuse really, just slack. All went well, well on the way to having some answers. Basically she has done blood tests, checking my hormone level and seeing where I am in my cycle. If I am getting an af soon and not pregnant, she is going to give me something to hurry it up. She didnt seem concerned by the fact that its been over 9 weeks since I had an af, she said considering my cycles are about 35 days that this is ok. She has booked me in for a gynalogical ultrasound, apparently its more detailed than a normal pelvic ultrasound which is on the 14th March. I get my blood test results then as well, she said she will do it all together. Like I want to wait, but oh well. Also have an enlarged uterus, she doesnt know the cause but wants to know why. She mentioned "fybroids etc", so of course I had to look it up on the net. Haha. I am bad. But I hate when you get half the story. So anyway, it could be a number of things causing that, and I will have to wait and see what the outcome there is as well. So as I said we are closer, but still dont know. Still no af, still feel like I am pregnant but she said its probably just my body getting prepared for a period. Oh, the other thing she said after looking at my bloods around the time of the m/c, is that it sounds like I had a chemical pregnancy. But I said why did I lose so badly, clots etc, she said she isnt sure and when I explained that she said maybe I was further along. SHe said she really cant say one way or another? Not that it really matters now, but it would be nice to know what happened.
Saffi - my little miss independent has been attempting to feed herself since 12 months, what can I say, she likes to copy her sister. She uses forks and spoons now and is pretty good at it.
Julia - the plot thickens! Hehe, I hope that you get the outcome you want with the possibility of being utd!
Mo - full term ... wooohooo ... hopefully your baby girl makes her appearance soon!
Kim - love the hair! It looks great. Great to hear Jas is eating now as well, its makes life so much better and less worry for you!
Willow - If we are blessed with No 3 I would like to find out, but my dh is a firm NO! We knew for No 2, but not NO 1. Its a great suprise, but I like knowing, especially if we were to have a boy after two girls, lots to get organised!
Amber - how are you feeling? is your cold in full swing yet?
Hi to everyone else ... I am trying to catch up! Once you get behind its hard to go back to everyone's posts and reply or comment on them! Doesnt mean I dont love ya's all xx
Trinity - woo hoo for you! Full term huh? Bring it on.
Kaz - so you are still waiting on news? I understand the wanting to know answers part. It is hard dealing with the reality that there IS an answer somewhere. Somehow something went wrong, but what? The more difficult reality to deal with is never knowing the truth. My gf had fibroids but still carried well, so hopefully this wont be an issue . They are not uncommon. Good luck with everything anyway, hopefully AF arrives soon so you can get on with things and stop living in limbo.
Saffi - Caden uses the spoon when I let him. He is a bit lazy (but maybe so am I) so I just feed him and give him a spoon to play with. I should give him a bit more freedom. He is a smart cookie and would probably do it well if I had the patience to let him!
cloth users, would love some advice for starting from scratch now, for loch and next bub.
im thinking all in ones snap ins or pockets, thoughts? experiences? brands? sizes?
i love the minky feel ones. and he is about 12kgs and tall at the moment. also, has any of you guys used prefolds with covers? how easy are they to use and would day care be able to use them? thanks in advance
Kate - I started using cloth when Tahlia was about 11 months, so by no means am I an expert. My personal faves are the snap in itti bittis, I have found pockets a bit bulky and that means alot of her pants don't fit. Can't answer your question about day care, cause I havent used prefolds myself, but I'm sure if you drop into the cloth nappies threads there will be heaps of ladies that can answer your questions, as well as recommend nappies to suit your little one. Heres a pic of Tahlia wearing an itti bitti to show you how cute they are, and they come in the most gorgeous colours! HTH!
Hi to everyone else!
Labour vibes to Mo and belly rubs to all the pregnant bellies!
Kate goto the cloth thread they are a great help & so friendly.
Personally I love my Itti's they are so trim Maddi can wear all her pants with them. You will find most all in ones are more bulky than, snap ins & pockets.
Really it's just trial and error with the nappies, you'll find some nappies just don't work for you & what may work for L may not work so great with the next bub.
I'd start off with so big name brands like Itti Bitti's, Bum G's, Green-Kids etc only because they have good resale value if you don't like them. As for sizes don't base it only on weight base it more on measurements, Maddi is just over 11kgs & still fits mediums with a fair bit of room to grow but if you do buy some Itti's Bitti's i recommend going large as they a very trim nappy.
Haven't used prefolds, so I'm no help there.
Hope all the pregnant mums are feeling well.
Kaz i'm glad your finally getting some answers
As you can see I'm still here, been getting more pre-labor couldn't get to sleep till 2am last night because i just couldn't get comfy.
By the time she decides to come I'm going to so drained from all the pre-labor it's been 2 weeks now & it's just not letting up!
Mo - the only good thing at this stage of pregnancy in my opinion is knowing what a great gift you get when its all over! I am not a fan of pregnancy and you are making me cringe when you tell us about your lack of sleep and ability of getting some kind of comfort. Haha. Poor chicken!
Its been a bit quiet in here girls. I can add much really. Oh, we went shopping today, Taygan had the meltdown from hell. I had the big pram and because Mia had sore feet, I didnt think it would hurt to move Tay to the back of the pram and let Mia sit in front of her. Well Taygan had other ideas, and before I could strap her in decided to dive out of the pram. Thank goodness a lady was walking by and grabbed her. Then I put her back into the pram and she was screaming and then tried to bite Mia on the back ... repeatedly all the way to the car! I was embarrassed, and also felt like the worst Mum in the world. Its days like this that make me wonder how I will cope with another! *sigh*
I dont know if anyone is else is going through it, but Tay seems to just continuously whinge these days. Always wants her own way and chucks a tanty when it doesnt happen, and then if she gets really upset ... look out, as she tries to bite anything she can.
