:( Hi guys. I have had a miscarriage. My HCG levels are down to 1000 from 1800 which confirms it all. I am still bleeding, the dr is ringing an OB today (mine is on sick leave) to make sure it is ok not to have a D&C. I have let her know that I dont want one, and I will not have one. She said that I can start TTC as soon as I like, there is no medical reason why I will have to wait a whole cycle.
So I am a bit sad ATM, but starting to deal with it a lot better. I was a blubbering mess on Fri, but now I am able to function better and have a laugh about things. I have my moments, but I am doing ok.
Thank-you so much for your thoughts. Sorry I havent been on to update but in amongst all this we are moving, so having a busy time of late.
Maz-Thinking of you and Mat.
Love

Helen im so sorry :hug: did you have an ultrasound? have you m/c both ?
-
Ohh Helen, thanks for keeping us up to date honey. All the best as you continue to recover - and with the moving house! Where are you moving to? Hopefully that'll give you the space you need, and help your stress levels - a kind of fresh start! :hug:
That's awesome that Mat's out of the humidicrib, progress one little Mat-sized step at a time hey. :)
I still haven't had a shower today, I'm so feral but I don't care! :D It's raining and I'm just wanting to chill out today.
-
:hugs: helen I am so sorry

-
helen - thinking of you ..xoxo hope that you can keep laughing and smiling as your enjoy your new house and CAR>>> Whoo hoo.. what kind of car please??
-
Oh wowee Helen! If you can be bothered, tell us more about the new house and car!!
Got a pouch style sling in the mail today, pretty easy to use, and soooo good for my weak arms! Means I can sit Riv on my hip as usual, but my arms aren't bearing all his weight - the other day I parked too far from where I was going, and I was walking like I was drunk by the time I got there! :p
-
My best friends parents have a 2 bedroom granny flat so they have offered it to us to live in and we have taken them up on their offer. We are busy packing, so much mess.
We are getting a 7 seater ford territory. Well we wont need a 7 seater for a while now but at least we have it for later on when we have more kids. So excited, we pick it up at 1:30 tomorrow arvo.
Love
-
Great! At least the Granny flat has 2 rooms. Kids in one, you guys in the other. I am assuming that it has its own kitchen etc??
You have nice friends to offer.
At the end of this year, we are going to have J's Auntie Rett move in with us. She is currently living in London. I think that will be hard enough!! Hopefully she will only be here for a couple of months. Especially if I am UTD, as we will need the room!!!
J was meant to go to swimming this morning, but his silly dad took the car. The other car is a Ute, and can't take J in it. I was fuming, as we were all ready, opened the garage door, and..................... no car! J was quite upset, coz he was a bit grumpy, and I was telling him we were going for a car ride then we didnt!
Anyway some girls from mothers grp are coming over and they suggested that we go to the pool, so at least he will still get his swim. Too wet here to go to the park.
-
helen - I'm so sorry for your loss. Congrats on finding a new place to live and the new car.
-
Helen- I was really sorry to come on and hear about the loss, take time out for yourself. I do hope that moving and the new car gives you the pick me up you need right now.
Such an awful busy shift again today, I seriously don't know what was going on, is there a full moon or something?
Well I best be off to bed. Got gymbaroo tomor, new term.
-

Happy due date ambz!!!
Well Annika is still asleep and its 9am!!! she did have a bottle at 6 but went back to sleep
She has a new word!!! bot bot (bottle), stands there waiting at the kitchen gate going bot bot and thinks she is so clever!!
-
oh poo jack has got the poo's :(
-
Hi everyone!
Ambz - Good luck with the birth I hope that it is soon and quick for you!
I was wondering what everyone thinks is a good age gap? We are thinking of TTC another but unsure when to start. I know that I want at least 2 years between them and that is anywhere from now on. However i was wondering about some personal experiences? She is growing so fast and I miss my little baby!
Have a fantastic weekend!!
-
well Marni- if you fall pg now then you will have your two yr gap.
I dont really know the best age gap to be honest. its just harder in different ways.
I would have preferred to wait til they are in school hehe
-
Marni my sister has a 4 year gap between #1 and #2 (not by choice) and a 23mth gap between #2 and #3 she has said many times there were benefits from both, with #1 and #2 her 1st was capable of getting himself a drink or snack or play if bubs was upset were as with #2 and #3 2nd son still needed help but at same time they have each other to play with
there is 21 mths between my sister and I and was terrible when growing up but now we are older is great to be so close in age
not much help am I :lol:
-
Helen.. oh how exciting a new car!!
Marni.. um.. only advise i can give is from my brother and sister. We were all 4 years apart and i think that was too big of a gap. My sister was the oldest and im the youngest and by the time i started to get close to my sister she was moving out of home and it just didnt end up happening. We've only started to get close now that Jesse has come along. My bubs and DS will be about 23 months apart. I think that will be fine, otherwise if i was to choose exactly when id say anywhere around 2 or 3 years apart. (i was going for a 2 year gap as i didnt think id fall pregnant first go!)
Yep raining here too! And loving it. Just went and did the grocery shopping with DH. Just about to give Jesse his lunch then he can have a nap and i might go up the shops with a gf for a coffee!
-
I suppose there are pro's and cons for all age gaps and how well children get along with each other will just depend on there personalities. My sister and I are best of friends and we are nearly 5 years apart. My brothers are in between us so they're only 2 years apart from each other and not so close.
Ambz- Ooh anymore contractions?
Ness- I loved that pic of your girls together asleep. You get such good shots of them both.
Belle- they're so cute doing that drunken walk and its funny when they first start trying out there running.
Caddie- Guess what, that card I sent you (with wrong address) actually turned back up here today after all that time, so I'll be resending it out over weekend. (with correct address!).
Off to gymbaroo soonish so better get myself sorted.
-
Anyone heard any news from MAZ? im bit worried? havent heard anything for a while. ITs her b'day this weekend too, fingers crossed her and Mat can come home.
-
Shell.. yeh my sister is 8 years older then me. So by the time we started to get close (when i was about 10) she was moving out.
Hope Maz is ok too.
-
far out someone is knocking on my door scared the crap out of me, we live in a security building, no way im answering it... eeek
Kell - how you doing mate?
Ness, whats happening anything interesting today?
Thank god Julia is sleeping right now,, still got the worst morning sickness cant shift it.
Jodes and Anna, hope you are having fun at work mates.
Back little later.

goodluck ambz

Maz...been reading bout you round the traps...big hugs, still praying hon. :hugs:
Tried to have a nap before, but River would have NONE of it! Argh!! I have a hyperactive overtired toddler!! He's eaten though, so perhaps he'll go down soon? And Rans is in bed. He'd better get well soon, this was supposed to be my weekend off, since he was out all last weekend and Tuesday arvo/night! I want a break!!
I think you can make any age gap work Marni - depends on what your priorities are - do you want to have them all at once, they'll play together, but also work together to drive you nuts! And then they'll all be at school sooner and you can get back into career or whatever. Or do you want them far apart, you can dedicate much time to them in toddlerhood, you'll be older by the time the last is born, older kids can help with younger ones, they might not want to play together, or have much in common.
My bias lies towards having them together, but that's just cos that's what dh and I experienced, and really liked the playtime and r/ships we have with our siblings. :)
Ness, that was a cute pic.
Belle! That's great that Miss Goolia's walking! Good on her! River shuffles along on his knees :rolleyes: I try to tell him that even crawling's faster, but...it's his personality coming out, he's not a risk taker, won't walk if he might fall. He won't walk til he's sure he can, I don't reckon.
-
Thanks everyone, from what everyone has told me somewhere around the 2 year gap seems to be really workable. I think I am just scared - it's not like we can change our minds half way through!
Hope everyone enjoys a helathy and relaxing weekend. Tiana has her first kindergym class in the morning so I'm very excited!
Marni
-
We've had a nice day today, busy but good busy. Gymbaroo was great today, other terms we just go irregularly but this time I think I'll go more often cause she just seemed to enjoy it so much more. Its funny cause we've had 6 weeks off for holidays and come back and such a change, she is attempting new things, wanst to try climb on everything!
Marni- Is kindergym like gymbaroo? It sounds alot the same.
belle- i sure hope that bloody m/s will settle down soon for you.
I'm hoping everything is going ok with Maz.
-
I too am scared of having another one, part of my prob is having PND first time, I don't want it again! Anyway Shell, I think you and I will be buddies. Originally DH and I were saying we will TTC in London, but I don't think that it will happen as we will be pretty much sharing a room with J or DH's family! So it looks like June for us.
Chrissy - I noticed you have picked a name! At your house, do the kids get a say in the name, or just you and DH?
Ness - I am sure there was something I was going to tell you, but I have forgotten!!! :doh:
I am feelin sick, so off to bed....
ETA Yay on Julia and her drunken walk!
-
megiemoppit - I had PND as well after a stressful pregnancy and birth and then the first few weeks but now Tiana is wonderful and she makes me smile more than anything. I think that I have forgotten enough to do it again and I really think a sibling would be good for her.
shellbelle3 - I'm pretty sure that they are basically the same. The one Tiana is enrolled in is held at the gymnastics centre in my area. Tiana is so full of energy I am hoping that an hour of this will wear her out a bit and I think she will love it!
Take care all
Marni
-
Marni- I have PND also, and am pregnant again..
Meg mate - i was in your place for quite a while not wanting it again after the birth of my next child. I have plans in place to prevent this time. Mind you you know im still taking my meds now...but 1/2 the dose..
Shell & Nelle thanks mates.
Nelle - Julia only walks when she feels like it shes very miss independant atm. how cute of Riv...
Shell - hows Ash? is she knackered after gymbaroo? We start swimming lessons next week so shall be fun. Think the m/s is here to stay... spoke to my OB today about it and she say its a good sign.
Sorry havent been around all but been worried about this pregnancy and placenta at the front and sticking to my c/s scar. OB called today she told me that have to wait until 19 week scan to see if all ok ... so counting down to 10 March... sigh.
Night all off to bed.
-
Belle - are you allowed to stay on your meds? My doctor wants me to come off of them before TTC. I am down to 50mg every second day so I am nearly there!
Tiana isn't going to kindygym today :( She has been sick since Tuesday but I thought that she was on the mend. I was wrong and I don't know what else to do for her.
Marni
-
Hey Marni, depends what you are on, im on 20mg of Ciprimil every 2nd day. Safe in pregnancy, had my NT scan all is good. Are you on Zoloft?
-
Hi Marni
I have almsot 2 1/2 years exactly between by DD & DS. For me this age is perfect.. and if we have a 3rd i would be trying to get this age gap again.
-
Belle, yay on the meds reduction. I didn't realise your meds had been reduced. That is awesome!
Marni - I was on Zoloft. You should make your was over to the depression and anxiety forum. It is a private forum, so you will have to ask permission to join, but the girls there will answer any questions that you might have. Belle and I are there.
Shell - Glad she is liking Gymbaroo.
I have got a really bad cold. Sitting here with a lemsip....
