Oh no Leanne, that's so sad for your family Glad to hear you are feeling better though. Bugger about the nits, but great that you got rid of them so fast.
hey everyone,
needing some advise.. last night i was having what id call ealy labour contractions.. like the ones that are too painful to sleep through but u can still kinda rest with them.. im pretty worried because with Asha i didnt start getting these until about 2 weeks before she was born and i had nights on and off where i would have them just through a few hours of the night, exactly as i did last night.. has anyone had this as early as 31wks and not gone into labour in the following weeks?? im not sure what to do.. i wanted dh to stay home so i could see a dr or something but he has a very important day at work and since bub is moving and i dont currently have any pains or anything i told him to go... im just not sure what to do the thought of going into labour anytime soon is a scary one and if my body is doing the same thing with this bub as it did with Asha ive got about two weeks... eeeeek what should i do???
hi noni
i replied in your other thread - dont go off what you think happened last time, every preg is different and all that... but if they are as intense as you say and something tells you to get checked - get checked!!!! it cant hurt to go and see - if it is the start of something they can help stop it or do whatever they think is necessary and if not they can reassure you... hope you are doing ok today
Leanne - so sorry about your cousin, whata shock. I hope you are doing ok.
Cally - hope the shopping is a success!
we decided not to go away this weekend, but will prob go next weekend instead...
so now i am at a loose end all weekend...
Noni, you could just have an irritable uterus hun, or just really painful BH's, probaby not helped by you being so worked up about the fight you had with DH but if at any point you are worried, call and check it out.
Just quickly jumping on to say hello. Have been trying to keep up but not a lot of time to post. Will try and do a proper catch up tomorrow, heading out for coffee and fondue with the girls tonight
Noni - Have you had yourself checked out yet? Maybe the fight with DH has caused a bit of stress etc? Go see the doc, but I'm sure all will be fine hun.
Arte - I can understand what you mean about leaving W with your mum & especially because of all her dogs, dont know about you but I am wary about dogs & young kids. What a mission, I dont want you to have to birth on your own, your DH needs to be there. What about if his parents came out to stay or is that too big an ask?
Leanne - Awesome party idea!! So glad you caught the nits early on, I am so paranoid about them.
PAP - Oooh country road, I got a flyer for their mega sale but unfortunately I was at work that day - such a pain! Gorgeous kids clothes & even nicer mum clothes!
Clare - I am so hoping your perfect house comes along soon. Do you have just the one area in mind? Do most houses over there go to auction?
AFM - Girls, got a bargain pair of maternity jeans at the op shop today for $5 - they look great. Also is it normal to basically have no pregnancy symtoms at 7 wks - well I am eating like a horse & sore boobs but thats about it. Wheres the ms?!
Gypsy, yip, I had very little ms this time. It is fantastic! The odd bit of feeling 'off' but nothing like last time round. I still get a tiny bit of nausea when I am really tired though. LMAO, there is no way I would leave W with the IL's. They are at the other end of the country anyway but I don't trust them with him. They want to do 'what grandparents do' and feed him as much crap as possible etc and don't think that an unguarded set of stairs is a hazard for a 15 month old so I don't really trust their judgement when it comes to safety.
Trill, do you have MD's cell number? I am worried about her, would you be able to send her a text to see how she is? I hope she hasn't caught any of the nasties going around.
Hey Arte I'm here. Did get gastro, got really sick yesterday afternoon (major bummer cos I missed this breast cansa forum with groovy guest speakers) and ended up in hospy last night. Lucky my white blood cell count is ok, so in theory I should get better just as quick as anyone, but they kept me in to give me fluids and monitor cos some of my obs were crazy. Got the royal treatment tho, got ushered to an isolation room and seen by the consultant within minutes of arriving LOL. Just have to make sure I drink enough as apparently I was really dehydrated even before the gastro symptoms started which is a bit of a worry.
Arte - agree with everything Trill said about W. Missy E has her clingy times but then she'll surprise us by going quite happily to a friends house to sleep overnight (like last night). Probably a good idea to start introducing him to the idea that other ppl can look after him and even tho it's not mummy it's still ok. That might mean leaving him with your mum for a hour when you're visiting, just long enough for you to pop out for a coffee or a walk, etc. Do it in stages, even if he's upset he'll learn that mummy does come back and it's ok.
Noni - hun what happened, did you ring the dr/hospy? I went in to get checked quite early on my pg with MissyE - they were quite happy to monitor me and take a look at my cervix even tho nothing was wrong. Better safe than sorry.
Leanne - so sorry to hear about your cousin, you sound devastated. Thinking of you and sending lots of love and support. xxx Bummer about the nits, they are a pita. We had a nit scare at FDC last week, I'm so glad Missy E didn't have them, I don't know how I'd get her to sit still long enough to comb thru!
Ange - dead jealous of your visit with J&L yesterday!! Good to hear you're getting in early with the sales.
Missy has a new trick - tells us when she wants her nappy changed. LOL
MD, I had a feeling yesterday that I should txt you and I thought nah, she's just busy organising the party, so your just too busy to pop in. I hope that you never have to go through hun Can you up the homepathics to help deal with lurgies and bugs?
Aw, thanks for thinking of me Trill. We've decided to postpone the partay just cos I'm not too sure how long it will take for the lurg to run its course in the household, kwim? DD1 stamped her foot and complained until I pointed out it will only be a fortnight after her actual birthday *rolleyes*. I'll keep her entertained writing up a menu/designing party decorations in the meantime . Keep her eye on the prize, so to speak! LOL
I'm pretty sure my blood count was still up because of all the extra nutritional thingies I'm having Trill. I'm seeing the naturopath again next week (*clutches wallet and looks faint*) so we'll add to the regimen if necessary then. As it is it takes me a good half hour to mix up the potions and powders and mouthwash and pills each time LOL.
hey everyone..
sorry i forgot to pop in and let u all know that i called the hospital and they were happy to let me stay home coz bub was moving well and just to ring them back if it happens again..
trying my best to get ready for bub.. really trying to focus on what i need not what i want lol i cancelled my layby at babies galore of the capsule and pram because i really dont need to spend 480 on something thats only gonna get used till hes 6mths old when we have a spare carseat anyway haha.. am off to the toys r us sale today to look for a suitable stroller tho coz ours is about to crap itself and try my best to hold myself back and dont put too much on if i make a layby lol..
hope everyones doing well will try and come back on later for personals..
Noni: ooh that does sound a bit stressful. hopefully it isnt irritable uterus or anything. i guess this bub is into preparation! hopefully it all settles down in the coming days. good luck with the shopping! so jealous!
MD: oh no! that totally sucks getting the gastro. and yes, unfortunately those highly expensive herbs are sooo worth it! good on your champion white blood cells though!
Leanne: i am sorry to hear about your cousin. it must have been a tough time for your family.
Gyp: oh man, good going on the OP shop find! you have been doing well lately!
and yeah, melbourne is apparently 'famous' for its auction culture. they just love an auction here. it is sooo weird. we look like real out of towners when we ask for the private sales list LOL!
PP: we were going to go away this weekend. until we realised that the place we wanted to go to has a 2 month wait list. so by the time i realised we missed out on everywhere!! so bummed. in the end we'll go the open plains zoo on the monday and the collingwood childrens farm on sunday. pat a few chickens, and milk a cow.
AFM: all good. leila is a treasure. we are just loving every moment. i am really enjoying the extra freedom we have with her now. like last night we decided to spoil ourselves and go and get some takeout pizza from this really delectable place (you know, we live in the 'italian capital' near lygon st) so off we trudged and when we got there, we were persuaded by the guy to stay and sit in (he was loving the fact that he could talk in italian to us...). and we could! normally at that time of night, leila is too hard to settle or enjoy as she hits the wall. but lately we have been able to just go about at night with no dramas and ENJOY dinner out. such a big moment for us LOL! meanwhile the dog was howling out the front but that's a whole other story LOL!
MD bummer about the lurgy hope your feeling better soon.
Noni good to hear that everything is ok with bubba.
Clare woo hoo on the extra freedom thats fantastic. They really are at a great age arent they.
AFM Loads to do today and no motivation to do it. L is refusing to have a sleep but I will keep trying. I shaved his head today, the hairdresser wanted $15 to cut his hair....... who are they kidding he isnt even two. Anyway best be off to put L down AGAIN.
