[QTB]

omg Sheree!!! Im soo sooo sorry for your loss!!

a million of these coming your way... i will be thinking of you :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

[~Dragonfly~]

Sheree ...Im just so sorry, I really dont know what to say, Just want to let you know that when you do come back and read this that I am here for you, We all are :hugs:
Take care sweety.

Thanks for passing the news on Kristi, Life just isnt fair sometimes :crying:

[Will&Evie]

Sheree sweetheart :hugs: .

Sorry just doesn't seem to cut it. You really don't deserve for this to have happened.

My thoughts are with you, Wade and Lachlan.

[Noah's Mum]

Youngmum3 - Thanks, i know everything will be fine. I just worry alot because of everything i have been through and had to do to have my little miracle.. DH and i have only told our parents, close friends and the need to know people at work, I want to wait until after the 12 weeks scan before we tell anyone else even then i think i will wait a few more weeks, who knows i might change my mind. Sounds like you have had a busy day. I am in bed by 7-7.30pm every night i am so tired after i get home from work, DH thinks its funny that i am in bed so early!

Missus S - It sure it but at least its only 2 more sleeps until my scan and then i have to wait another 4 weeks. I have no more stuff but though since i have the referral for the scan why not go and get it done and see my little jellybean again..

dragonfly - Thats great news your scan went well

Sheree - I am so sorry to hear your news, my heart goes out to you. Can the doctors investigate and give you some answers:hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Good morning lovely ladies hope you are all well

[sillysideup]

Morning ladies with growing tums
Just reading over last night's post. Feeling so sad for Sheree and her families loss. Wish I could say something that would make a difference - but I'll have to settle for adding my thoughts and love in what must be such a difficult and painful time. Somethings in life just don't make sense.

I have woken up this morning fully understanding what someone said a little while ago about being hungry and ms together. While gobbling up some raisin toast the thought of other food was brining waves of nausea. As long as I don't think about food I'm fine. (the site of the fish I didn't end up cooking for tea last night nearly sent me into a mad dash for the loo!!) But the reason I didn't cook the fish is so nice. DH came home and took as out for Fish n Chips at the local lake and then we played on the playgroup until dark with the girls.

Of to Playgroup this am with the two dds. We have found a fantastic playgroup run by a local Vineyard Church. Great mums and really well organized. Will probably pop back later in the day and see what everyone is up to.
HAPPY & SPEW FREE DAY TO EVERYONE

[cheezelkat]

Morning :wave:

silly side up - Sounds like you had a lovely night! I haven't cooked in 2 - 3 weeks now :o. My poor son is living off my DP's prepackaged foods. I will make it up to him big time once I'm not so spewy.

Too late for a spew free day here though :( Is anyone else getting worse MS in the evening? I can't stop vomiting every night. We are going to my MIL's for dinner Sunday I think, going to be awkward running off to vomit it back up :p

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Good Morning everyone....:wave:

Just thought I would pop my head in this morning and say hi and send you all a super huge (((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))))))) ))).

How are you all this morning...good I hope !!!!

I have texted Sheree and pasted on all your kind thoughts and well wishes, I know it means a lot to her :crying: ...

What touched me the most about you all is how we have all been able to band together so quickly and when one of us is down the dynamic of group becomes completely selfless and completely devoted to the one in need....it's for this reason I feel so privalged to be able to share my journey with such an amazingly diverse bunch of ladies :hugs:...the gift of giving and careing truely takes new meaning in the April thread..thank you xoxoxox

************************************************** *************

Ok well today so far so good no throwing up...wooohooo !!!! Ah but the day is still young :laughing: !!! I just need to get through till 12.30 cause i have an appointment with my accupunturist to see if he can settle the queazy feeling a bit for me !!! Boy I hope it works.

Well I supose while I am feeling OK I should get some more house work done....be back to chat more soon xoxoxoxox

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

CK I am 100% worse at night and in the afternoon than I am in the morning..you are sooo not alone there !!!!

I am cooking dinner at breakfast time and sitting it in the fridge so that DD can actually eat at night !!!!:laughing: ...dont feel bad about not cooking cause if my DH was home I sure as hell would not be cooking either !!!

[Missus S]

Oh Sheree.............a million :hugs: to you, Wade and Lachlan :crying:

If it's any consolation at all...............I too was in that position at the end of May having my pregnancy snatched away from me, having to have the D&C and going crazy thinking 'what did I do wrong?' and 'when am I going to get pregnant again?' But just 6 weeks after my D&C we conceived again.

So hang in there hon and get lots of cuddles from little Lachlan to get you through this rough time :kiss:

[NikkiR]

Oh Sheree, I am sooo sorry. Huge :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: .

[Noah_and_Elijah]

Oh Sheree I'm so sorry for your loss! :( :hugs: :hugs:

Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time! :hugs:

[Eternity]

from one mum to another Sheree my heart is aching for you. Please look after yourself and be kind to yourself :hugs: I am thinking of you

[Noah's Mum]

Hi girls

just wondering i have had a few pains in my stomach this morning they have been coming and going. Does anyone know what they could be?

[SethandRuby'sMum]

some one can correct me but as far as i know if its not period like with blood its fine. it could be streaching of the uterus.

All is well here, Seth had a bad night but DH looked after him and i had a fairly good night.

Going out soon to collect some more items for the nappy cake.

Once again best wishes to Sheree and her family.

[QTB]

I just had a big downer... stupid preg hormones!

Brayden threw a shelf thing at me, i moved my foot out of the way and banged my knee on an open draw (i was putting bugs washing away) i went mental at brayden, raced down the stairs into the garage and sat in the car and cried and cried... i rang Dh and told him i didnt want brayden and i didnt want this baby....

now im ok, and feeling realllly bad.... brayden is asleep. I cant believe i said that about my babies that i want sooo much!

Now i just want to cry cos i feel bad :(

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

KritsyD the pains are norml honey..its stretching pains from your uterus expanding..they will come and go for a while ((HUGS)) no need to worry I have been having them too, with my first pregnancy with DD they were quiet painfull.

QTB (((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))) you poor hormaonal chook you !!!! We all have our moments so dont beat yourself up and kids will be kids..they are sent to test us at the best of times !!!! You didnt mean what you said and your a wonderful mummy...its ok to not be ok sometimes thats what makes us human (((((((((HUGS))))))))) xoxoxo

[Noah's Mum]

rnboyce - Thanks, your nappy cake sounds exciting. What a great DH looking after Seth so you could look after yourself. Hope you are feeling better:hugs:

QTB - Don't be so hard on yourself you are very hormonal at the moment. Its better that you have a cry and a vent. Hope you feel better soon. :hugs:

kristi h - Thanks, its all so new to me! As you can tell i freak over the smallest thing.

Thanks girls i don't know how i would get through this if i didn't have you girls to turn to ever time i have a question or a freakout. I am feeling very ordinary today i have bad back pain and have had nausea all morning only managed to :barf: a little not even enough to make me feel better.

[JJ7]

Good morning Girls,

I have just posted some belly pics in the belly pics/ulsound link.

Took me a while to work out how to do it, but I Got there eventually.

[Bex]

As I read the posts this mornin I felt like crying.
Sheree there are no words so I will just say this.

Sherees Bubbas
U where here such a short time.
In that time u brought such hope.
In that time u brought so much joy.
we will miss ur angelic being
and know u are smilin down on us.
We know u will return to us
when the time is right.

Kristi H- I would like to put a :angel: next to her lil teasures so we can remember her beautiful bubbas. Can u ask her if thats ok or would she prefere I removed her completely.

QTB don't worry we all wanna drive to nannas house drop the kids at the door and make a run for the border at sometime :laughing: even if it just for a second. We all know it was just u at ur breaking piont not u being a bad mother.

Bailey is doing ok with his tething had a few winges but not to bad. Main probly is hes of his bottle a lil bit cause his gums are sore.

Well Anthony has conjunctivitis (spelling no idea lol) he had it in one eye and spread it to the other he woke up from his nap yesterday scared cause he couldnt open his eyes. He kept picking at them until he started getting eye lashes out. The drops from the chemist hurt his eyes so we spent last night at the after hours GP at the hospital. It is soooo hard to get the cream in him eyes he screams and crys. Its hard with me and DH to hold him down. By myself its almost impossible.

lol sorry bout the winges.

[littleone]

Hi to all :wave:

Have been pretty busy and so tired of late I struggle to get to the computer. I have read all your posts but haven't had the energy to post.
I'm going ok. Not as sick this week but still find it hard to eat, especially dinner. Have a urinary tract infection and having to take anti biotics which I hate. Supposedly common in pregnancy. Have another scan tomorrow.. Yay. Hope all looks good and bubs is growing big and strong. Should be with all the sleep I'm getting. Seems to be sucking every once of motivation out of me. My house has never looked so untidy! We have washing on the drying line in the lounge that has been there for days! DH is being so good, I feel bad asking him to do anymore.

Sheree - I'm so sorry for your loss. It is so unfair and my heart goes out to you. :hugs:

KirstyD - I have been getting pains on and off too. I get them in my hips, legs and abdo. I'm sure its just growing pains. I still have lots of gunk with the crinone gel coming out. Are you still using crinone? I have to stay on it till week 11. Not cheap at $24 a day! Hope your scan goes well on sat.

Hope the m/s eases up for all suffering... I have found sugar in drinks or lollies helps mine. Prob end up with diabetes!

Take care

Tracy

[Will&Evie]

Hi again ladies,

QTB - you are sooooo not alone in feeling the way you did. I don't need pg hormones to go off my rocker every now and then. I think it's something that everyone does once in a while.

littleone - you should see the state of my house. Toys, rubbish and clothes everywhere. I look at it, think about tidying up, then my little whirlwind jumps out from God knows where and makes even more mess. I give up!

Bex - I think the :angel: idea is a beautiful gesture. I hope things get better with the conjunctivitis. We've never had that here, but all three of us have been doing battle with a hideous cold this week. Urgh!

KristyD - you can always find an answer in here. It's nice to know there's always someone around who's been through the same thing. And don't feel bad about stressing - we all do it, especially in these early stages.

Things are going pretty well here. I've just started with a bit of queasiness(right on cue at six weeks!), so I'm already hooking into some ginger beer. I didn't actually :barf: with DS, so I'm hoping I'll be the same this time around.

We went to visit a friend this morning who has a four week old and a two-year-old (birthday today). The age gap between my friend's boys is exactly the same as what mine will be, so I was trying to ask questions about how she copes without giving anything away (I work with her and she's a bit of a blabbermouth and I don't want to tell anyone at work yet!). Anyway, I wasn't exactly encouraged by her answer: "Don't do it! It's awful!" :laughing:

[Noah's Mum]

Hi Littleone i had the crinone come back out after i stopped using it, apparently your bodys way of getting rid of what it doesn't need. No i have finished using crinone. I can't believe how expensive it is you are 1 in the morning and 1 at night?

kath day-knight - I am soooo addicted to this site especially this thread, i can't help but log on every so often at work i think i spend more time on this thread then doing work. I love that as soon as i ask a question it is answered it stops me from panicking

[Bex]

Kath DN- Ull be fine my first 2 are 13 months 2 weeks apart the first 3 months are trying but enojoyable. Once u get past 3 months it get easier.
lol if ur friend ses don't do it! What would she say about me? Ill have 3 under 2.4 years. :laughing: Sorry had to laugh at myself i must be a masakist. Thats how I wanted them (close together) so I guess I should be greatful but its still scary.

[cheezelkat]

Bex I'm in awe. My 2 will be 26 months apart and I'm terrified!

I just had a letter from the hospital giving me my first antenatal appointment. I'm so excited I could pee myself, but remembering to do my Kegels. ;)

It's not until the 22nd October (I'll be 15 weeks) but now this pregnancy is starting to feel real.

[QTB]

Thanks everyone.... feeling much better now :hugs:

CK - mine will be 2.5yrs apart (their due dates are exactly 2.5yrs apart but bug was a day early!) Im hoping that 2.5yrs is gonna be good~! lol

[Eternity]

I just got a letter from my hospy I have my first appt dec 5th:eek: Ill be 20weeks + the first time I was given a hospital appt was 14 weeks with dd maybe cause its number 2 they are more relaxed with me?? when do you girls all have your 1st Appt??

I am a blubbery mess today watched Oprah and it was tragic I wont go into it if you didnt watch it cause its too sad esp with our hormones.

And my tummy is very tender and sore too Kristyd. I was getting cramps now its just tender and sore all over:( Im sick of it I just want to feel great but I feel bloated and sore. so much for glowing and happy sorry for the negetivity girls but noone else understands and I just wanted to get it out

[Noah_and_Elijah]

I have my first appointment on 10th October I will be 12 weeks and 1 day.

I was booked in before I was 5 weeks though so that helps.

[sillysideup]

The cutes little willywagtail (bird) is sitting on my home office window sill tapping on the glass! how cute - think he might want to use the computer to catch up with his bird friends!. :)
My girls are 21 months apart. We wanted them close for their sake - but I think it is harder of mummy (and daddy). There will be 25 months between DD2 and noodle in my belly! I'm hoping the extra 4 months will be helpful.
:yelclap:
I'm really enjoying this thread too! Every time I have to come into the office to answer a call I check the updates and c what's you've all been up to!!

Hey what are those of you how are not to MS to do it cooking for tea? inspire me. I'm loving savory stuff!

[sillysideup]

Back again. My 1st appointment is 28th September. I'll be 11 weeks. The hospitals seem to be getting really busy - my first two I got in much earlier - around 7 - 8 weeks. I guess before then you just c ur GP?

[cheezelkat]

First pregnancy I was 13- 14 weeks. My GP warned me it would be 6 weeks before I'd be seen when I sent off my referral on Monday and he was right.

Prior to that, it was just the antenatal appointment at the GP (mine will be in 10 days or so) so they can take your weight, estimate EDD, and start off your antenatal file. I think i the little booklet they give you to track the pregnancy it gives advice on when to schedule appointments.

[sillysideup]

Oh yeah - here I am again!


Eternity - I seem to get really affected by the hormones too. I have days I cry all day - but especially morning for me. Just try to remember they come in waves and each one should pass. And maybe skip Oprah when she is doing a tear jerker - I saw the start of todays (I'm so old I'm loving the repeats of flying Drs!) Hope you are feeling better very very soon - ssu

[SethandRuby'sMum]

for those who have made there oppointments way in advance can i ask. are you going private. coz im going public and only need to make appointments a week in advance. with the hospital. I dont see the hospital till i get a referal from my doc after 20weeks. last time i didnt see the hospital till 36weeks and didnt find it interesting at all. then again i hate hospitals and will get out ASAP

[cheezelkat]

I'm going public...and only see the hospital 3 times i think? Booking in, 36 weeks, and theres a 41+ week appointment.

[Eternity]

Oh yeah - here I am again!


Eternity - I seem to get really affected by the hormones too. I have days I cry all day - but especially morning for me. Just try to remember they come in waves and each one should pass. And maybe skip Oprah when she is doing a tear jerker - I saw the start of todays (I'm so old I'm loving the repeats of flying Drs!) Hope you are feeling better very very soon - ssu


Thanks I feel better knowing its not just me:hugs: I think I will skip Oprah when its a sad one from know on. Im just too emtional right now. oh and Im having Pork Roast and Roast Veges and Gravy yum!!! I had Roast Chicken last night Im so into Roasts right now:laughing: tonight have you come up with anything yet!

Rnjboyce- I am going public and doing shared care I saw the gp most times and Hopsy a few times too. I felt like I lived up there cause I got a few pains from time to time and high blood pressure so was sent up for monitoring. I like going to the Hospital and seeing the middies for reasurance!

Mine are going to be 18 mths apart Im sure it will be hard but pay off in the long run they will be great friends:hugs:

[Ashlyn]

Hi guys :wave:

Seems like the dreaded m/s is catching up with us all now. I had my 7 wk scan on Tuesday (IVF like you to have one then) and guess what...........IT'S TWINS!!

I think I am still trying to get my head around it. They put back 2 embryos so we knew there was a chance, but our FS said it was slim. Well, at least now I know why I have been SO tired and SO nauseous (is that the word?).

Littleone- so you were right about Freya getting two siblings! Glad you are doing well :thumbsup:

QTB- there are mums at my mother's group who have days like your one all the time. At least you have the excuse of being pregnant!

I was going to go back to the midwife team I had for my first pregnancy at the local public hospital, but with twins that's not possible. :crying: Now I will have to start looking for an OB. Any tips?
Sending lots of love vibes to our cute little jelly babies.
Kate.

[SethandRuby'sMum]

OMG Twins freyasmama congrats on the news.

[Will&Evie]

Holy cr@p Freyasmama!!! How exciting!!!
:yelclap: :smiliedance: :smiliedance: :yelclap:

[sillysideup]

Hi again!

Eternity - glad your feeling better. I'm into my happy afternoon stage now:) By the way love your name - does it have meaning?

Freysma (shorthand) WOHOO! Congrats to you!!

I've been public twice and always seen the middie monthly until 30 weeks, then two weekly and finally weekly in the last four weeks. I just thought that was how it worked. Maybe things have changed as they are sooo busy now! I'll find out on the 28th Sept!

Decided on a bit of a mixed bag for tea tonight. Veg and everything easy I could find to go with it!!

Hope tea goes down well

[Missus S]

Freyamama - Wow Twins :yelclap: Twins are soooo cute :yes:

rnjboyce - I'm going private and with my OB you start seeing him at 8 weeks, then every 4 weeks until you get over 34 weeks I think, then it's every 2 weeks and then every 1 until the birth at the end.

Kath Day-Knight - you are scaring me with what your friend said about the age gap :laughing: My gap is going to be very similar to yours. My theory is get the nightmare baby years out of the way as quick as you can :D

Sheree - hope you are doing OK hon...........you've been in my thoughts

Well my MS is definitely on and off at the moment.................but actually more off which I can't complain about.

[SethandRuby'sMum]

I think i do the share visits but way later on like 24-30weeks. im not sure. i saw the hospital once with seth and then was going to see then the day after i had seth to talk about induction haha didnt need it did seth, thank goodness. heard bad stories.

does anyone know what a leap year means? ok der add one day to the year but does that mean ur due 1 day earlier or doesnt it count.. haha i think to much of it dont i. might plan a romantic dinner. but with seth. feb29 sounds different

[Eternity]

TWINS!!!!!!!:eek: :yelclap: Wow how exciting Congratulations to you and ur family I bet you are over the moon.

Sillysideup- he he I actually changed my user name not long ago I was brookeC before but I wanted something better :laughing: I guess being a Christian Eternity is a very important I guess cause thats how long Im going to live for In Heaven :smiliedance:

[Eternity]

Oh forgot to mention I LOVE your name too:D

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

What buzz of action in here today :ecomcity: ....LOL!!!!

Freyamama :eek: and CONGRATULATIONS :smiliedance: !!!!!!!!!!! How exciting !!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO !!!!

I didnt message Sheree today, I thought it best to give her some time to grieve and some privacy after the D&C but I will ring tomorrow and then let you all know how she is...I know she greatly appreciates all the support we are giving her as a group !!!

To all the weepy mummies ((((((((HUGS)))))))..I had a moment in the car today...I was feeling nauseated, DD was at the neighbours for a play and I went down the street to get some more fruit cause its the only thing I feel like eating at the moment..all of a sudden my wedding song starts playiong on the radio and I felt very far away from DH and I just sat in the car park and had a little cry listening to our song...keep trying to remind my self its the hormones :laughing:!!! talk about mess with your head !!!

I havent got my referal to the hospital yet but I go to the doc on the 24th Sept when I am 11 weeks to get my letter and be booked in for the 12 week NT scan. I oly went to the hospital 3 time with DD first 15 weeks then at 36 weeks then to deliver all my other appointments were with the GP.

[NikkiR]

Freyamama! Wow! Big congratulations on the twins! How exciting. :yelclap: :smiliedance:

rnjboyce - I'll be going private and will have my first appointment at 6 weeks. (cant wait till Monday!). Not sure how often I'll be seeing the ob, but my guess is rather frequently as I have to be monitored during the pregnancy. :yes:

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

OMG
SCREAM..CRY..AGONY
:no: :barf: :eek: :crying:

I just cut my big toe open quiet badly while I was locking the front door...blood every where..oh I feel sick..I am no good with my own blood...where is DH when I need him !!!! BOOOOO HOOOOOOOO !!!!!

[cheezelkat]

oh poor you Kristi :hugs: What a day you have had!

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

:o Thanks CK...if I wasnt crying I would laugh :laughing: !!! Oh I love being pregnant and alone :hair: !!!

****Kristi slaps herself across the face and trys to snap herself out of this silly hormonal rush she has got herself caught up in****

[Noah_and_Elijah]

I booked in advance because I like to have a choice of when my appointments are. I am going public and unless you give them plenty of notice you don't get to choose the time you want you just get given what's available.

I am not doing shared care so I see my Midwife once a month until 28 weeks and then once a fortnight until 36 weeks and then weekly until the baby is born.

[sillysideup]

Ochh Kristy H - I can feel your pain from here! Hope it's starting to feel better.

The hospital systems must be different from state to state. Sounds like there are so many different ways. I'm a little scared as I had such a terrific experience last time with a primary care middie (I saw the one middie for every appointment and she was at the delivery). I had such a good relationship with her - so much support. This time will be different I think!

Eternity - that explains the name. I'm a christian to - probably why I asked. (Not the bible bashing type just try to live my faith)



Well best be off - girls are in the bath and ready to get out. (It's okay DH is watching them).
SSU

[bec77]

Sheree, just read up on the posts and saw your sad news, i am so sorry for your loss, there is not a lot that any of us can say that will help but wanted to let you know that i am thinking of you and understand the kind of pain that you are in and wanted to send you lots of :hugs: :hugs: for the hard days ahead.
If at anytime you want to chat please feel free to pm me

[QTB]

I am not doing shared care so I see my Midwife once a month until 28 weeks and then once a fortnight until 36 weeks and then weekly until the baby is born.

hey darl, i have a few Qs about non shared care at RH for you :) hope you dont mind... you said that you see a midwife every month... do you ask them about it at the first appointment? do you see the same middie each time, or whoever is there? my GP said they were starting up a midwife managed thingy there like at the mater in sth bris... do you know anything about it? (i havent heard anything)

thanks darl!


anyway... OMG Freyamama..... TWINS!!!!!! how exciting!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Eternity]

KristyH- Owwww hope your toe is feeling better that gotta hurt hun:hugs:

Sillysideup- I thought you were going to say that you were:)

Well after a lovely meal and relax time Im feeling 100% No pains cramps seem to have gone. Im 6 wks 2days so Im just wondering wether ms is going to hit bad cause last time round I was sooooooo sick:detective:

I guess having an appt at 20 weeks seems to be fine . I was just a little shocked asI thought they would wanna see me b4 then like last time Im sure Gp will take good care of us though.

Last time I was having really weird bad pains and I remember the Middies would tell me that they dobt wanna know about it till 20 weeks to go to emergency- Is it like they dont even recongnise you are pregnant till then?? well thats what it felt like to me:yes: Anyone eles had that experience with their hospy too

To all the preggo mums suffering Ms big hugs you poor things memba its a sign bubs is doing well Ive heard its not for nothing- I know how horrible it is Hugs to you all hopefully it eases up soon

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Evening all....

Just got a text from Sheree....

She has travelled to Mackay today to go and see the doc and is booked in for her D&C tomorrow..she sounds good, well as good as can be expected...she wants answers, she is not stressed about tomorrows procedure cause she has had it done before but more just wants it over and done with. She said to say thank you to you all for your kind thoughts and wishes and she will chat to all soon.

[Ashlyn]

Thanks guys! It's very daunting, but very exciting too. DH has already nick-named them Romulus and Remus :D

QTB - if you get the opportunity to do the midwife group, I highly reccommend it. You are assigned a team (usually 3) of midwives and one is your primary so all your appointments are with her. You do meet the other two just in case your primary is not available for the birth. This actually happened to me as my middie was having emergency dental surgery when my DD was born but it was not an issue as I had gotten to know the other two middies, and in the end all three of them were there, just because they wanted to be! I loved the continuity of care, being able to build up a relationship with my midwife and completely trusted each of them. If you have a low risk pregnancy and want to have as natural a birth as possible, they are definately the way to go. I still see my midwifes now, out shopping or whatever and they always stop and hug and talk to me. It's the way birth should be.

My only reservation with having twins now is that I won't have my wonderful middies with me and will have to find an obstetrician. Even then, I rang to tell them I was pregnant and they are insisting on doing my booking in appointment at the hospital anyway. Hope that helps. :)

[~Dragonfly~]

Hey everyone

Thanks for the updates Kristi!
Ouch about your toe :hugs:

Freyasmama- WOW Congratulations, Double the fun, Double the love! Well Done!

Well ms is with me everyday ALLLLL day, Im so over it BAHHHHHHHH Ok cry over!

Everything else seems to be going well, only other symptoms are sore (.)(.) but are slowly easing off!

Well Ive been out and about today so no nana nap so Im sure im going to be hitting the pillow earlier tonight.

Take Care
Kim

[QTB]

Freyasmama: Thanks for that, i dont know if there is a midwifery group at the redlands... i had an independant midwife in New Zealand for my son (my mum! lol) so its a bit different over here... i know what happens at the birth, but not before lol

[Noah's Mum]

I have my first appointment on the 2nd October and i will 12 weeks 4days. I booked in as soon as my doctor gave me my referral the hospital booked me straight away because they are heaps busy. A friend of mine had her appointment at 13weeks with her second. I am going public and doing shared care

Eternity - Its better to talk about how you are feeling then bottle it up. We are always here to listen!:hugs:

Freysmuma - OMG congratulations thats fantastic!:smiliedance: Whats your EDD?

rnyboyce - I think a leap year is when there are 29 days in feb i think it only happens every 4 years

Kristi h - You poor thing, I hope you are ok

Good morning all you lovely ladies!

[QTB]

Kristi, thanks for the updates sweet. I hope Sheree is ok :hugs:

~Dragonfly~ Hope the ms goes away soon for you, its horrible ahy, i had it all day everday with brayden, so much that i actually stayed at the toilet and read a book lol but, it goes away!

[Noah_and_Elijah]

Mel - When you go for your first appointment they will ask you whether or not you want to do shared care or full time midwiffery care with BMCS or you can just tell them your plans for care if they are any different and you go from there.

That's the standard number of visits if you go through to BMCS with the midwives.

Is that what you wanted to know?

Hope so. lol

[QTB]

Yep thats awesome, thanks darl!! :D

lol i know the redlands birth system sooo well - wouldnt have a clue about the antenatal side of it! lol makes me feel sooo stupid! lol

I have to say though i dont like the maternity system over here!

[QTB]

Oh, one Question Noahsmama lol

What does BMCS stand for...

[sillysideup]

Good Morning fellow Preggies! As you can see I'm feeling very green this morning. Seven weeks today and the MS is right on track. It generally seems to start between 6 - 7 weeks and go until 13. YUKKO
Just read over all the post but can't even remember what they said - so I'll settle on just saying hi everyone!
Staying home today and making cupcakes with DD3. She woke this morning wanting to cook. Thats okay I don't think cupcakes affect my MS. Had some toast and a decaf. Didn't seem to make any difference. Just have to soldier on for a while and hope it lifts soon.

:wave:

[QTB]

awww :hugs: sillysideup... hope you feel better soon!

[Missus S]

Kristi - thanks for the update on Sheree. And I hope your toe is OK..........ouch! I'm having my next scan on the 24th of Sept too.

SSU - that green text made me feel quesy! Hope you feel better soon.

rnjboyce - is next year a leap year??

My mouth is soooooo dry every morning...............it's driving me nuts :yes:

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

[SethandRuby'sMum]

:laughing: Kristy D i know what a leap year is i ment i am due the 31st but because the sonographers system dated me does it include the leap year??? or am i really due the 30th. if i go week by week i am due sunday the 30th but if there was no leap year the sunday would the the 31st does this make sence. maybe im just thinking to much into it.:laughing:

Im sure they baby will come on the day its ready anyway.

Yes next year is 2008 it is a leap year.

most women find this an excuse to propose to there partners if not married as it only comes around every 4 years.

2 more days till 10 weeks :smiliedance:
8 more sleeps till my 22nd bday
19 more sleeps till my 12week scan
28 more sleeps till my 4th wedding anniversary.

hehe see the obsesive count downs begin.
I will do more personals if my DH lets me hahahaha

[cheezelkat]

Morning lovelies :wave:

I've been so tired recently. Normally I don't go to bed until the wee hours of the morning but everyday this week I'm going to sleep with DS. Poor DP has had to do all the housework, cooking, etc. I wake up at 1am with all the lights on though. Very annoying to get cold to turn them off.

:hugs: to all of us suffering from MS. Mine now fluctuates on good and bad days. Mornings are generally OK, after lunch though :barf:. I managed to eat a cheeseburger and frozen raspberry last night though. Didn't really enjoy it but it stayed where it should have.

Have a gorgeous Friday everyone. I just got bitten by a freaking green ant on my stomach and it hurts. wah! :banghead: xxx/

[sillysideup]

Cheezelkat - how did you get a green ant on your tum?

Kristy H - glad to hear the toe is okay and how your ms settles soon.

Now I have got the cupcakes in the oven I've realised I don't have any icing sugar. Cupcakes are not cupcakes without pink icing when you are 3!! Bugger

Had some juice - which has temporarily eased the ms. Might be something to do with sugar levels? Who knows what works today may not tomorrow and probably made me sick yesterday! Wish I could go back to bed and:sleeping:

[sillysideup]

PS - Cheezelkat when ever I read your name at the moment I want to go buy and eat a box of cheezles!! Pregnancy - what a wonder!

[QTB]

BMCS stands for Bayside Midwiffery Care Service. You have the option of attending this if you are young and healthy and are between certain BMI's :thumbsup:

ahhhh awesome!! so that must the the midwifery group thing my GP was going on about! is it just thru the hosp?

[Will&Evie]

*** Warning ***

:mad: :mad:

*** Cranky lady alert ***

Sorry, but I've just realised that I'm in a grump. I might as well blame it on the hormones.

Not quite sure what is going on, but I just feel really cranky this afternoon. Maybe it's because my DS decided to get up at 5.30am this morning (which is soooo not on in this house). Or that DP has just rung to say that he's working on Sunday (ie freaking Father's Day). Or that I really really really miss coffee. Or that I realised the last idiot GP I saw didn't give me any referrals to book in for midwives and ultrasounds. So now I have to go back. This time I'll go to see my real doctor, who was away on my last visit.

But anyway, enough of my moods...

SSU - Can I come over for cupcakes?? I don't care if they're iced or not. Mmmmmm.

Kat - I want to know too - how did you manage to get bitten on the tum by a green ant?? Glad to hear the ms is easing a bit for you. Mine is just starting to kick in now. I'm actually waking up feeling a bit rough around 5am, and generally start to feel better by lunchtime.

rnj - I hadn't thought about the leap year thing. Now you've got me wondering too!!

KristiH - I totally understand about the hormonal tears. When I'm not raging like a madwoman, I'm having a sook at the drop of a hat. Poor DP doesn't know what to do half the time.

Missus S - I'm trying not to think too much about the age gap. I know there are plenty of people out there who have done it with an even smaller gap and they've managed ok. I think I'm more worried about the fact that we have no family living near us so we have to do everything alone. My biggest worry is going into labour early and having no one around to look after DS. But hey, I've got over seven months to sort that out!!!

Hi to everyone I missed. And Sheree, I know you probably won't be reading this today, but my thoughts are with you.

[Eternity]

Kath day night- hope your feeling better soon gee these hormones can throw us out of wack.

I just told my Aunty that Im pregnant again she was happy but I think a little funny cause her only son's wife is desperately trying to have a baby and isnt falling pregnant its been a few years now, so I felt kinda quility for telling her cause I know she desperately wants to be a grandmother I think it hits hard for her cause she desperately tried for a second baby but it never happened for her. I really feel sorry for them, I feel so blessed that I have been able to concieve straight away it must be torture for those ladies that have very long roads or cant ever have a bub.

Was a little queasy this morning nothing major Im getting a little concerned why I havent started getting ms yet:confused:

[sillysideup]

Kath Day Night - it's okay - we're all in the same boat and I still think a bit of sleep deprivation is all that's needed to send us into grand central grumpy for the day. Maybe we should make a new rule. Any preggie mummy suffering any form of sleep deprivation gets a "Get Out of Grump Land Free" card for the day!

Eternity - I sometimes wonder to why I've been so blessed with two healthy pregnancies and gorgeous healthy babies - when friends have struggled to conceive and carry. I actually talked about it to a friend who took 5 years to conceive and then mc at 10 weeks. She seemed to think that what matters is that we appreciate how lucky we are. Note - she now has a bubbly little 16mth old boy (yippee). Hard work when you've been up all night with a screaming bub - but I think in the scheme of things we do.

On a lighter note DH came home from work at lunch and took DD3 into down to get the icing sugar (and some other things) So pink iced cupcakes - here we come.

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Gooooooood After Pregnant friends of Mine !!!!!

(((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))) to all the happy pregnant mummies and and extra big ((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))) )) to all the grumpy ones !!!!!!!! :laughing:

Oh I feel like cr@p this arvo...not throw up sick but queazy, tired, heart burn sick !!!! Oh :barf: would probably make me feel much better...boy I am turning into a right royal pain to listen too I bet !!!! Sorry gals :hugs:

Oh I was sooooooooo naughty at lunch time today, cause I nanny on Fridays i try to give the girls a treat..today too lazy too cook so it was lots of hot chippies and calamari rings from the fish and chip shop and oh way too much grease for my tum at the momnet :barf: ...I have learnt a valuable lesson today glutony is a sin for a reason...LOL !!!!!

So whats everyones plans for the week end..anything exciting ???????

[SAMum]

Hi Girls,
sorry I haven't posted in sooooo long! I only get to come on Bubhub for a short time at work (no internet at home) and you girls chat so much I take too long to read all the posts and don't have time to write one!
I just had my first appointment with my ob today, same one as last time, he seemed more interested in DS than me :laughing:
Looks like I am going to have my work cut out for me getting my VBAC though, straight after DS birth he was saying I should be able to have a VBAC next time but now he is saying since DS was big (4kg) he is not sure about it, personally I don't see that as an issue but if DH hears about it he will want me to have the cs, oh well plenty of time to try and work all that out! I have chosen not to have the 12 week scan, we didn't last time either, personally I would rather not have the worry of them saying there is a slight chance of a problem when a) there is probably not and b) there is nothing we can do about it. I will just have the 20 week one, and have to decide between now and then whether to find out the sex or not :hair:
Sheree I was so sad to hear about your loss, my thoughts are with you, I had a mc before this pregnancy, it really sucks doesn't it?
KristiH you are such a crack up, such a vibrant person, I love reading your posts, you manage to keep so positive with your DH away, good on you!
Kath Day Night (love your username!) I am also now stressing about having 2 under 2, we also don't have any family close by (or even in the same state!) but I guess we will just get through it one day at a time, I just hope this one is a better sleeper than DS!!
Have lovely weekends everyone, happy fathers day to all the Dads and Dads to be!

[Missus S]

Or that DP has just rung to say that he's working on Sunday (ie freaking Father's Day)

I'd be cheesed off too with this :yes: Hope you're feeling better now....................and yeah, prego ladies are allowed to be cranky ;)

SAMum - good luck getting your VBAC. I'm still in two minds about whether I should attempt one or not.

Kristi - busy weekend here, I have 2 birthday parties to attend tomorrow and then 2 things on Sunday for Father's Day. I presume you'll be catching up with some family yourself?? Do you have some family close to you??

SSU - Mmmm pink cupcakes sound awesome!

Cheezelkat - frozen raspberries are the best :thumbsup:

Eternity - it's always a tricky one when announcing you're pregnant to somebody in that situation.

rnjboyce - gosh almost 10 weeks already!

Well this morning I had a good amount of MS...........so at the moment it's like I have 1 day on and 1 day off, weird! I think it depends on what time I eat though as I had some morning tea this morning and noticed I felt sick straight away.

[SethandRuby'sMum]

Good Afternoon April Thread.

SSU- were the cupcakes good?

KDK- dont worry i would be cranky too as 5.30 is so not morning. Poor thing

Kristy H- hmm plans for weekend. work work and work. yes including DH first fathers day. (i worked my first mothers day) I told him to go to a park where there having a free open pool day, bbq, fun rides ect. I told DH i am finishing early and we can spend time then. he is happy now.

Tomorrow im working in our icecreamery and i HATE icecream YUK, yes im serious. and being preg i'll hate it even more. Please let it be a nice day tomorrow and the customers better be cherpy too. I dont need more **** in my life at the moment. I saw my friend and her daughter Kalani today. OMG shes gorgeous. They were having some pics done and then after that bubs had a sleep so only got to hold her hand but awww so cute asleep. and in pink hahaha.

Anyway see i can do personals haha sorry for being slack and only starting now. i will keep going.

To everyone else a BIG hello and Keep Well
Rosie

Sweet dreams to you all, happy bellies bloated and non bloated! lol - Don't worry Bex, mine is too!! big time! oh well, we'll be right!!

Speak to you all on Monday!!

Luv Melissa

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Good evening my bloated and no bloated friends :wave: .......

A quiet week end planned here....DH away and Fathers Day Sunday will be pretty sad :thumbsdown: but I think we will go to the beach to make up for that instead...plus Tuesday is our 3rd wedding anniversery so I have decide to go out to dinner with some friends that night so that I dont sit at home feeling lost and lonely :D ...

I have a great support network of friends up here but no family unfortunately so I try to fend for myself as much as possible but yes ther is people I can call on if I need too..thanks for caring guys :hugs: !!!! I actually feel more sorry for DH than I do for myself cause he is the one away, I get to see DD everyday and I get to sleep in my own bed and do my normal daily things, he is the one miles away from home so if anyone needs a hig on Sunday and Tuesday it's my DH !!!! I posted him a parcel today with some goodies in it so that will be a nice suprise for him next week !!!!

Oh I feel blah tonight...... BLOATED BLOATED BLOATED..... and gassy, I cant stop burping..so gross !!!!

Jeaz I feel for you girls that work and on weekends aswell, I am in for such a shock when I go back to work ( I am a Chef )...back to split shifts and nights and weekends...I think thats why I am soaking up being a SAHM for as long as I can hehehehehehe !!!!

Any who as per normal I have jabbered on way too much...LOL... better leave some room on this page for some one else to post too..hehehe !!!

Thanks so much again ladies, you always make me feel so good about myself and I am glad you like to read my post as much as I like to type them (((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))) !!!!!

Oh I got a question before I go....do you think I should text Sheree tonight and see how she went today or leave her be till tomorrow ?????

[cheezelkat]

I'd leave it till tomorrow - she probably won't be in the mood to say much.

I've had a shocker of a night with :barf: and my not so darling son is driving me bonkers. :hair:

I tried to have a nap and DP let him in my bed to jump all over me.

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Yeh I was thinking tomorrow would be best CK.......

:hair: Dont men drive you nuts sometimes !!!!!

[littleone]

Hi to all :wave:

I had another scan today and bubs looked bigger, Yay. The little heart was beating away furiously! My official EDD is the 7 April 2008 (as I thought all along). So I'm 8 weeks, 4 days today :smiliedance:
I have my 12 scan referrals and will book in on monday for the week of the 24th sep. I hope I get some pics this time. I see ob monthly till 30 weeks then fortnightly till 36, then weekly till 40+. They said they will not let me go past 40 weeks 10 days, is this normal? Can't overcook bubba I guess. There is only 1 private ob in Bundy! Hope there aren't too many others having bubs on the 7th! I know what you mean about being emotional... I cry over tv ads.

Freyasmama - Congrats... Wow, twins:party:. It's double trouble but oh so cute! We were going to have two put back, but only one made it to transfer. My FS said that he has had several twins from 1 embryo transfers lately!

Kirstyd - Yes crinone is very expensive! I'm still taking twice a day! Have spent about $900 on it! That should take me through to week 12 and FS said the placenta takes over then. I guess its a preventative measure. Spent this much all ready, why stop now! Hope bubba puts on a nice smile for you tomorrow.

Missus s - My mouth is so dry too! I wondered what it was! I wake up in the night and skull water... which then makes me feel sick and I have to eat crackers in bed.

cheezlekat - I agree with sillysideup - your name makes me want to eat potatoe chips! mmmm.... potatoe chips.

[sillysideup]

A quick and early good morning to everyone. we're off visit the in laws and out laws in Ballarat today. Not feeling too bad this am. Just a tiny bit of nausea. Hope the bloating epidemic has eased up! Take care today Happy Daddy Day to all the respective Daddas
:smiliedance:

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

GOOD MORNING PREGNANT MUMMA'S........:wave:

How are we all this fine Saturday morning ((((((((HUGS)))))))))....splendidly fantastic I hope !!!!!

Any one want a 21 month old who has no concept of the word "sleep in"...she is going cheap and comes with accessories :laughing: !!!! Ah got love those not quiet 6 am starts on a Saturday !!!!!

Had a big chat to DH on the phone last night Valentine ...He is not a huge one on talking about his feelings and stuff but he seemed to spill the beans a bit last night which was a lovely insight into how much he loves and misses us, not that I ever doubted that he did but its nice to hear it straight out some times !!!!

MS is behaving so far but got a few niggly pains on the right side this morning and heart burn already..how rude ~!!!!!!~

Well I hope everyone is having a super brilliant morning (((((((((HUGS)))))))))...I am heading out for coffee with somes friends at 10 am which will be nice...mmmmm might have treat myself to a nice piece of carrot cake while I am at it..yummo !!!

Ok take care and chat soon xoxoxoxoxoxo

[HayleyD]

Hi there !!

Just wondering if you could add me to your list?? My EDD is 30th April (by the calculators anyway) I am not getting a scan until 12 weeks so I might have to change my date then depending on what they say.... but so far I just scrap in to this April thread!:D Thanks heaps!

[QTB]

Any one want a 21 month old who has no concept of the word "sleep in"...she is going cheap and comes with accessories :laughing: !!!! Ah got love those not quiet 6 am starts on a Saturday !!!!!

I have a 22 month old up for grabs too... lol wont sleep past 5.30am!! :banghead:

anyway, Kristi, glad to hear your DH opened up, isnt it great when they do that! Heartburn... already?! geee woman tell that baby to leave something for later on in preg lol!

I can feel every little stretch my uterus is doing, its quite ouchy! it seems ok at the moment but last night it was sooo ouchy!

hope everyone has a great day!

[Missus S]

SSU - Hope you have a nice trip to Ballarat

littleone - crackers in bed you poor thing! I guess there is a bit of debate around about what's the safest amount of time that you can go overdue with the concern that the placenta may start dying. I never got close to that stage as Gem came 10 days early (perfect!) but I don't know how most pregnant women would feel at 40wks10days, probably quite over it!..................but then again I don't really like inductions. Just got to wait and see I guess and it's your decision to make for your body.

cheezelkat - get your DP back next time he's not feeling well :D I was desperately trying to stay awake to watch the end of the Crows AFL match last night, but with the heater on I kept drifting off to sleep at 9.30pm! I did manage to keep my eyes open at the end for the good result :thumbsup:

Kristi - hope you enjoy your trip to the beach. Well done for surrounding yourself with good friends. And wow you're a Chef.............that's fab!! Wish I had more time to spend in the kitchen..............I love food :D

youngmum3 - hope the slumber party went well and you got some sleep

Bex - carrying both kids!

rnjboyce - yeah that Baby Whisperer was on Oprah and she is Australian. Would have made a fortune now. I think you can only use those sounds up until the baby is 12 weeks old or something?

HayleyD - Congrats and Welcome

Well my bloating is not too bad today after a shocking week which is a good thing as I have a 1st birthday party to go to today and my friends don't know I'm pregnant. Then I'm off to a 2nd birthday party with the Adelaide BubHub girls but they all know I'm pregnant so I can let it all hang out there :laughing:

[QTB]

Sorry Hayley we must have posted at about the same time lol

Welcome to the April threads!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

[HayleyD]

Thanks guys!! I still keep feeling like it's all not really happening! I can't wait until Oct for my first scan.

[QTB]

will that be your 12wk scan?

how exciting! :D

I had a scan last week, all we could see was the sac lol not very interesting!! with Brayden i had a 10wk scan and it was sooo cool, he looked like a Buddah (thats how he got his nickname!) i cant wait to see this bub!

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME HayleyD to the April 08 thread !!!!!
:smiliedance: :smiliedance:

[Will&Evie]

Hi all,

Forgive me, but I've had an awful 18 or so hours, so I'm going to do a me me me post.

I'm feeling :gloomy: .

I went to pick DP up from work last night, then we went out and had a quick dinner with DS. When we got home I went to the loo and... spotting.

I completely freaked out, burst into tears, carried on like a madwoman, etc etc etc. (So much for keeping calm!!) I spent all night waiting for the inevitable pain, convinced that the little stretchy twinges that I've been having for the past couple of days, and that I had at this time when I was pg with DS, were the first sign of things to come.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I went to see my dr this morning. He wasn't there so I had to see his grumpy sidekick. He wasn't very reassuring. Kept saying stuff like "Well it is very early" and talking about miscarriages and D&Cs.

He also told me that I need to have complete bedrest (all this while my 15 month old is completely tearing the surgery apart). And while DP is sitting there in his work clothes. ie, I have no freaking hope of getting any bed rest you moron.

I went for an ultrasound and things seem to be ok. The sonographer was able to find a heartbeat and can see signs of a possible implantation bleed, to explain the spotting, but she thinks my dates might be out a bit (which wouldn't surprise me, because I know that I ovulate later in the cycle).

I know I should be happy that things seem to be OK, but I'm just really freaked out about it all. I have to go back for another scan in a couple of weeks, so I should know a bit more by then. :fingerscrossed: it will all turn out OK.

Sorry to be such a downer. I promose I'll be back to myself later. Just need a good cry. And maybe a block of chocolate ;)

[QTB]

Kath :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: Everything will be fine hun! Glad you got to see bub and his/her heartbeat beating away! thats always reassuring!

Liddy: Congrats on your pregnancy!!

WOW we must have a been reallllly cold in july/august ;) lol there is ALOT of april babies on there way!!

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

WELCOME and CONGRATULATIONS Liddy !!!!! :smiliedance: ..oh how exciting for you !!!! I am sure everything will be ok but yes it is hard to not get worried in the first 12 weeks (((HUGS))) .

Kath you poor chook I would have freaked out too (((((((HUGS)))))), think positive sweet pea and as long as there is a heart beat you can have some peace of mind. As for your bed rest thing just promiss me you will take things a easy as you can (((HUGS)))...oh I wish I could give you a real hug you poor thing what fright that all must have been for you xoxoxox

Oh stretchy pains are very constant for me today..they are making me feel a bit nauseated :barf: !!! I am super tired today too :sleeping: , I think I might have to have a nanna nap while DD watches D D D D dora the explora !!!

[Eternity]

Kath day knight :hugs: :hugs: to you gee you really have been through alot in the past 24 hrs havent you. Thats good that bubba was ok and all seems well, baby will be ok try not to worry it wont help ( I know easier said than done)

WELCOME LIDDY:hugs:

Ms kicked in today I feel awful very dizzy and a contant headache 24/7.

[SethandRuby'sMum]

Little one-nambour hospital wont let u go 10 daya over but u can refuse an induction then they do ultrasounds to check anomic fluid ect and if bubs is ok they send u home till u have bubs or need to check it out again.

welcome hayley D and congrats

Krist h it is nice to hear how much those blokes of ours love us. i love hearing it. hes much better since we had seth.

Missus S- those sounds work up to 12weeks-3months.

KDK- how scary for you, im glad ur ultrasound went ok and u keep postive. because everything will be ok.

Congrats and welcome to Liddy

Me yuk i smell like icecream, i am taking seth in the shower with me as he is nearly ready for his bath/shower anyway. I know im naughty but i felt like a potatoe cake(scollop) what ever u want to call it. its deep fried. haha no idea why. i guess because im feeling great. I think the whole world knows im pregnant though. Still fighting with MIL and considering the words she used while on the phone i dont think i'll ever get over it. ANYWAY
How is everyone? Hope ur feeling alot better and the bloated tummys and m/s go away.

tata for now
Rosie

[sillysideup]

hi all, back from a lovely visit in Ballarat and thought I'd check in with what all my preggie friends have been up to for the day.

KDN - :hugs: to you - what a time you've had. Sending every positive thought and prayer I have to you!

Liddy & Hayley Welcome and congratulations. Hope your pregnancy journeys are filled with amazement and heaps of love.

I actually do know what it feels like to go 10 days over due. With my second I was trying for a VBAC but she just didn't want to come out! (They don't like to induce you once you've had a cs) At 41 weeks and about 6 days I said just do the cs - and they did. She was 9 pound 14 by then! It was not a great feeling to be sooo pregnant - just very very tiring - especially as I had 20 month old too!

MS has been okay today. But my sense of smell has gone into overdrive. mowed lawns and bread suddenly smell overpowering!!!

Nite nite to all :)

[QTB]

Thank goodness we still have plenty of time!!

My sis in law has desided (last night) to move back to her parents in NZ. Which is great, but now we have no one to watch bug! My sis is going to be at the birth with me, so we have to find care for both babies now (hers and brayden)

I dont really know anyone here yet, my mum is at work all the time as is my dad. my dad could take time off but i dont know if he could handle both kids!

ETA: she leaves next month, on Braydens birthday :(

[Noah_and_Elijah]

Could you hire a nanny?

[QTB]

i thought about that, but wouldnt i have to employ them 24/7 for like 4 weeks or so 'incase' baby came early or late? cos we couldnt afford that!

We will find someone... its just a pain lol

oh well! it will sort itself, im just glad there is heaps of time lol

[Missus S]

Morning everyone and...

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

[Eternity]

I've had to break out the maternity clothes!

Had a lovely morning, off to watch some movies xxx

[Will&Evie]

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for all your positive thoughts. Feeling much better today. It's amazing what 10 hours sleep will do for you. No more spotting and stretchy cramps seem to have buggered off too:smiliedance: .

We've already been out for a Father's Day brekky today and this arvo we're taking little man to the beach. We'll meet up with friends who have a boy the same age as DS, so that should be fun. I plan on just sitting back, havig some snacks and letting DP do all the running around. :D

OK, better go get some stuff ready while DS asleep.

Bye!!!

[NZMEL]

Hi everyone!! Sorry I haven't posted in this thread for a few days - it's using up all my energy just reading and trying to keep up with everything that is going on! It was so much easier when there were just a few of us - but it is great that so many have joined us :)

Sounds like there have been a few ups and downs for many of you - glad to hear that the support is still strong for all our April Mums - that alone brings a tear to my eye :hugs:

I am off to NZ this Wednesday for a couple of weeks, so I will check in before I go to the airport, and will do my best to stop in for a nosey when I can get internet access - I have quite a packed up schedule ahead of me with staying with family/friends but I will find time for my bubhub friends too :D

Well I hope everyone is enjoying their fathers day celebrations, even though he is not a "Dad" yet my DF enjoyed a sleep-in with a hot cup of coffee and bacon and eggs for brunch - about to relax in the sun with a nice cold beer...think I might have a shandy with him - what a gorgeous Brisbane day!!

Oh I am looking forward to having my first Mothers Day in May next year - bubs should be about 1 month old by then Valentine

Well take care - I will be watching....well reading!!

Mel

[ElizabethS]

Hello my dear preggie friends!

Yet another week has passed and I haven't been online. I am so sorry but have been desperatelt ill with M/S.

Can't even begin to tell you!!! Have been in bed for a week, unable to sit up otr walk around without being sick. It has been horrible.

Have had to put my 2 precious girls in childcare 2 days a week - which breaks my heart. Luckily my mum has come through and is spending the other 3 days here.

My dear hubby is busting his butt to look after all of us - it is crazy.

The funny thing is that in 6 or so weeks - you'd never know I was sick - I turn a cornerf and feel great!!!!

sorry to go on - but needed to explain myself.

How is everyone?????? i need a summary of the last week!!! I think about you all constantly as I lie here staring at the ceiling (can't read or watch telly as it gives me motion sickness!!).

Feeling quite cheery today, though - trying to concerntrate on why I am here and how I can pay everyone back for all their help.

Can I please wish a little time away and get past this?!!!!

Hoping everyone is absolutely fantastic and all the dads and dads to be are feeling special.

Love,
Liz xxx

[Noah's Mum]

Kristi - Thats fantastic that you have a great support network you sure need it when DH is away. Plus you always have us! Your luckly its only 6am for some reason my body thinks its fine to get up at 4.30am every morning!

Littleone - Its great everything is going well. What date did you have your transfer just wondering because my EDD has changed AGAIN after my scan on the weekend.

HayleyD - congratulations and welcome

Kath - I know how you feel i had the same freak out 2 weeks ago. At least you have a reason for the spotting. How are you feeling now?

Liddy - Congrats and Welcome. I know how you feel i can't wait for the first 3 months to be over either. MC don't run in the family its just something that happens and it has happened to me.

Good morning to all and hello to everyone i have missed.

Well as for me i went and had my scan on saturday my heart was pounding when i went in but the guy showed me the heart beat first and then continued having a look around. I started crying once again when they showed me the heart beat. I am a bit confused though on the 20th august i was told i was 6 weeks and 3 days and so i would have been 8 weeks on saturday 1st september then i was told i was i was only 7 weeks and 4 days which makes me 8 weeks tomorrow? so once again my EDD has changed AGAIN for the 3rd time.

I have been feeling pretty nausea and ms has been coming more at night. I have a few niggling pains this morning and a few that feel like AF sorry are AF type pains normal? I wish i could just sleep until my 12 week scan which i have booked in for the 28th September and i am not changing it as i already have arranged it with work and it was hard enough to get that appointment. So my new EDD is the 14th April which was actually the first date i was given from the IVF clinic. Oh well who knows it might change again at the 12 week scan! I think i will wait until the 12 week scan and when they confirm the EDD i will change everything.

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Good Morning everyone....:wave:

A quick update from Sheree.....

She said the operation went fine wth no reaction to the medication and it was identical twins, she has a high chance of twins again but they dont think any multipal pregnancy is ever going to be viable for her. Next time she falls they are going to monitor her extreamly closely and give her early scans..she said thank you for all the support (((((HUGS)))))).

I hope you all had a great week end ((((((HUGS)))))...

Whoa all this MS floating around is not good but at least its for a good cause hey girls :yes: !!!! Mine seems to be limiting itself mainly to lunch time to late arvo which isnt too bad in the big scheme of things, late evenings can be a little iffy too but nothing I cant handle thank goodness...Ginger Beer is now my new best friend !!! Main for me though its the extreame tiredness thats hard to over come..I miss a nanna nap in the arvo my MS is heaps worse and I end up :barf: for ages !!!

KristyD..I am so happy for you thats great the scan went so well !!! WOOOHOOO a happy little heart beat !!!!

ElizabethS...oh you poor poor sick chook you thats awful !!!!!! I hope your MS settles really fast for you xoxoxoxo

NZMEL..oh how exciting off to NZ how cool..have fun and take care and dont forget to put your feet up for a rest every now and again !!!

Mardi..I am soooooo glad things have settled down for you ((((((HUGS))))))..you sure dont need little scares like that sweet pea !!!!

Cheezelkat..i cant wait to pull my maternity stuff out..I am wearing a few pairs of maternity pants only cause by the arvo i am getting bloated and having something tight pressing on my belly makes me feel sick but I wanna start wearing some of my new tops..but I need the bump to fill them first !!! LOL !!!

BIG ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) to the whole gang !!!!

Well DD and I have swimming lessons today and I think I may need to invest in some bigger board shorts cause mine seem to be getting a tad snug around the middle..hehehe...bring on the bump !!!!

Oh did I tell you I am 8 weeks today WOOOOOHOOOOO !!!!!!!

Anywho enough blabbering for me have a great morning and I will chat to you more soon xoxoxoxox

[sillysideup]

Hi friends of the belly growing club!

Elizabeth - my goodness I am feeling for you. How horrible to be so very sick. Sending you loads of happy thoughts and prayers and hoping your ms stage is a short one.
Love the baby brain thread! Talking of that when ever I log on a read all the goings on I think I'll remember things to respond to an d that I don't need to write it down. Then I start and forget! Sorry if i seem very self centered
I do remember a trip to NZ - awesome have a blast of a time! Do you all find distraction is great for your ms. If I can keep busy and not think about it it doesn't seem as bad.
Well a nice day at home for me and the dds. Feeling pretty good today - after a shocker yesterday (tired grumpy and ms). DH cooked a BBQ for tea and I just couldn't eat it. Even the thought now is making me dry reach:p

Wishing everyone a great pregnant day
SSU

[Bex]

hey ladies.

welcome to the new girls and congrats.

I have been MIA as usual on the weekened. DH doesn like me to spend time on the puta when he is home, which is fair enough.

u all seem to be travelling well apart from the usual pg stuff.

i am up and down like a yoyo with the bloating yuck. I've started only feeling really sick when i am getting hungry. which is alot. last 2 days i have felt like i can't move. I have never been so exhausted even in 2 other pgs hmmmmm.

Bex

[JJ7]

Hello to everyone,

Trying to catch up on all the posts as I havent posted for a while.

We went for a tour of the Family Birth Centre at the Mercy on Saturday and loved it, so have booked in to have baby there. There is even a chance of having a water birth, but I will have to do some reading on it.

I'm 10 weeks, 3 days today - so speeding along at the moment.

Hope everyone has a great day!

[TyBean]

Gees I have been MIA haven't I!!!....

I have been extremely sick and yuk... and to top it off Tyler has given me his scratchy throat and runny nose :rolleyes:

Not much to say except I am sick of chucking.... sick of being dizzy!!....

The pregnancy is soooo different to Tyler's.... its like being pregnant for the first time almost...

Beany is moving... and I can feel them!!! I am thrilled... one week earlier than I could feel Tyler... I have felt little kicks and slides... it is amazing...

Anyway Tyler is in bed so I am going to lie down... I have no motivation to do much else!!!... :thumbsdown:

Hope everyone is well!!! :hugs:

[QTB]

JJ7: Waterbirths are WONDERFUL!! i couldnt reccomend them more!! I had one planned with brayden... the midwife was filling up the pool when he shot out lol opppps so i missed out on mine!

LilTandMe: YAY for movements!!!!!!!!!!! how exciting!!! i cant wait to feel this bub, i felt brayds at 15w6d...

[~Dragonfly~]

:hair: Im craving a ham and lettuce roll....:hair:

Why oh why do I want one when Im pregnant...LOL

[QTB]

lol dragonfly! dont ya HATE that!!!

I craved surimi (crab meat) when i was preg with #1... i didnt have any, but damnnnn it was hard not too!

[sillysideup]

Dragonfly - it probably wouldn't be exactly what you want but I believe you can eat ham as long as you cook it. Maybe you could cook it on a sandwich maker or in the fry pan and then have a crunchy ham and lettuce sammy.

[joozi]

Hi Everyone

Well, I'm soooo sick with MS yet again. I'm going to ask my doc for a dating scan, as with the level of sickness I have, I think I might be further than what I think. I wasn't sure of my dates anyway, so I guess that makes sense. Just spending my days on the couch. Everyones having to help me out, and my hubby is being an absolute saint. Can't wait to get past this bit.

Also, I read in another thead that Sheree lost twins to a non-viable pregancy and had a D&C last week. I'm very sad for them, and I'm sure you join me in wishing her all the best in her recovery. :hugs: for you Sheree if you're reading, I'm thinking of you....

Gotta go lie down again before I :barf:

[Noah's Mum]

DragonFly - I was told i could eat Ham off the bone!

Its always the way when you can't have something

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

I just woke up from my nanna nap...:o ..very chatty in here since I have been asleep :p !!! Oh I wish I woke up refreshed but all I wanna do is crawl back into bed :o ohhhhhh so tired, I dont think I remember a time I have ever been so tired in my life !!!!

No real MS today :smiliedance: a few waves of nausea here and there but thats mainly when I start to get hungry, I eat slowly and it seems to sit ok so WOOOOHOOOO !!!!

Hmmm what would I like to eat that I cant, let me think, hmmm some nice feta cheese in my salad would be lovely at dinner time...but sadly we all know that wont happen !!!

[TyBean]

Tyler was asleep and I nodded of too.... and he woke me up!!!! :thumbsdown: all I want to do is curl back up in bed and sleep!!!

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

I know LilTandMe :hair: I only woke up cause DD woke me up too :p !!!!

Ok well waiting just has got the better of me :o ...I just rang my doc back and said I wanna bring my appointment for the 24th forward to next monday..hehehehe !!! I am heading to Sydney on the last week of september for 2 weeks and I wanna make sure I get my hospital refferals in before I go and have my first scan other wise I wont be able to till I am 14 weeks and that will drive me nuts !!! I want my date confirmed already !!! the doc was great he laughed and said he will make sure I am all booked in and scan is done before I go so I now have new appointment to organise all this next Monday at 8 am WOOOOHOOOO !!!!!

[Missus S]

I eat ham all the time on Subway rolls that I get toasted :yes:

LilTandMe - I can't believe you are feeling movement already!

JJ7 - Waterbirths are amazing..........go for it :thumbsup:

Kristyd - glad your scan turned out OK

Big :hugs: to everyone not feeling well. I still haven't thrown up once yet with this pregnancy. Now that I've typed that I'll probably jinx myself!

[TyBean]

Fancy waking their sleeping mums up hey!!! Heaven forbid we woke them up!!! haha:p

I am ringing to get a GP appointment to organise my NT scan!!! I am excited!!! :smiliedance: So it'll be a double appointment for me and Tyler!!! get his cold looked at and mine, and a referral!!! I can't wait to see bubs!!

I couldn't believe it either... but I am VERY sensitive in that region.. always have been... I felt Tyler just after 11 weeks.... and this one just before 10!!! I am stoked!!!:D

[ElizabethS]

Thanks for your thoughts guys.

So sorry to hear about Sheree - absolutely devastating for her. I trully wish her well.

jJ7 - I was meant to be at the Mercy on Saturday - but was too sick!!! That would of been wierd had we have crossed paths!! I'll be booking in there as I had my last daughter at Royal Womens Birth Centre but they will be inbetween moving when I'm due...

Well, had a shocking day with m/s but it seems that cheese on white bread is the only thing I manage to stomache without reprucussions. Trying all the healthy stuff but it tends to make me really unwell.

Kristyh - were you doing acupuncture? I can't quite remember...

Have a great sleep everyone!

Liz xx

[splotch]

Hi everyone, I wonder if I can join your group. I am due in april with my 2nd child I think around the 15th. My husband came home last night and told me that he doesnt know if he loves me anymore, He has left becasue he needs space. I am very heartbroken but trying to stay strong for my daughter and this little tiny bub. I would love to get to know you all a bit more, you sound like a lovely bunch of supportive women.

[Noah's Mum]

kristi - I am logged on to this thread all day and pop in a fair bit, i would rather chat in here all day then work.. I can't wait to be able to eat healthly food again..

Missus S - I jinxed myself ever since then i can't keep my dinner down... Yum subway i might have to make a stop at lunch today.

LilTandme - How exciting, i can't wait to experience that!

Splotch - Welcome and congratulations. I am sorry to hear things aren't going to well with you and DH. Try and stay positive for your DD and your new little bubs. We are all here for you if you need to talk :hugs:

Well i have noticed a patter with my MS and nausea. Nausea is around all day i have been drinking ginger beer which gives me a small amount of relief and i have started on the ginger nut biscuits today. I start getting really bad nausea at 3.30pm so i leave work at 3.40 (i finish at 4pm) jump on the train and try and sleep it off. But worst of all i can't keep my dinner down anymore.

I read somewhere you can't eat mayo can you eat ceaser sauce?

GOOD MORNING LOVELY LADIES:wave:

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Good Morning everyone

Guess what.........

IT'S MY 3rd WEDDING ANNIVERSERY TODAY !!!! :smiliedance:

I started this morning off with a lovely phone call from DH then rolled over and went back to sleep while DD watched TV in my bedroom cause I have shocking nausea this morning...:thumbsdown: ... WOOOHOOO !!!! OH well it could be worse he could be here and wanting some loving... :barf: ...so not in the mood for that :laughing: !!!!!! DH said to watch the mail today so thats exciting hehehe I wonder what he sent me ???? I love it when he rights me cards cause they are so sweet and he is a manly man so rarely opens up but when he does it's wonderful !!! I sent him a card and lots of yummy stuff from Darrell Lea..3kgs of chocolated and licorice (sp)..his favourite !!!!! I also got invited out to dinner tonight with friends so that will be great, I just hope this horrible wave of MS I am having today passes by then.

Anyway enough about me...sorry to be a me me me post ((((HUGS))))

KristyD...I hope the ginger bikkies help you today..have you thought of trying the wristbands (you wear them on your wrists and push on them when you feel sick and they activate a pressure point to help settle the nausea) I am heading to the chemist today to get myself a pair.

ElizabethS..yes I use accupunture and chinese herbs only thing is I cant get the herbs down at the moment they just make me throw up so I have stopped taking them but I am still going to accupunture fortnighly which is helping but I do think I need to go back to weekly cause the effects arent lasting as long as I would have hoped...I am still functionable and not throwing up near as often as I did with DD but mainly for me its a hours relaxation DD free and with DH away this is the only down time I get.

Splotch... (((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))) Oh I am sooooooo sorry to read about your situation with your DH but CONGRATULATIONS on the new bubba to be !!! You and I are due the same day !!!! Welcome to the thread and I look forward to getting to know you better xoxoxox

Big (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) to you all I hope your all feeling ok and I will chat to you more soon xoxoxoxo

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

All this talk about jinxing yourselves has rubbed off on me....

:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

cant stop since I lasted posted this morning !!!!

[Noah's Mum]

Kristi - Happy Anniversary!!! That was so sweet of you to send DH a card a Darrell Lea YUMMMM.. I hope you have a nice dinner tonight with your friends. I can't wait to hear what DH has sent you. I know what you mean about opening up, my DH is a mans man as well and on our wedding day from 11am he had a different friend/family member deliver me a bunch of roses with a card and the meaning of the colour rose and what it meant for us. It was the most romantic thing he has ever done for me. I might have to try the wrist band, what are they called? I haven't had a bikkie this morning as i have been to sick today. It is so hard to get through a whole day of work.

[mmalt]

Good Morning everyone,

Long time no post I know!! I'm still here reading every day though!
First up, Welcome Splotch! Congrats on the pregnancy!! I'm sorry to hear that things are rough between you and DH but you have 2 little wonders to care and luv!! Hope you enjoy being around here!!

KristiH - Happy ValentineAnniversary!! Yeah, can't wait to see what he has sent you! All the more, hope it actually gets to you today!! lol!! Oh, you still chucking?? You need to say 'I will not chuck today' and see if the positive vibes work for you!! Hope that you have a great night out with the girls tonight for dinner! I'm glad that you aren't sitting at home on your own!!

KristyD - Oh, what's with all the romantic hubbies man?? Mine ssoooooo isn't!! But I luv him to bits! I get all embarassed when romance comes into it!! Get those bikkies into you and stop that nausea!!! Oh, and do some work too!! LOL!!

Hi Elizabeth, LilTandme and MissusS!! Wow LilT, you are so lucky feeling it already!! My friend is 17wks and still not feeling it!! I felt it about then for my first and my second I was a bit earlier, about 12 weeks or something I think!! I hope that I feel this one early too!! so cute!! All you lucky girls getting nanna naps in!! Gee, half my luck!! I'll sleep on the way home from perth today though as I have to work tonight!

Ok, well better go, gotta get the kids to school!

[QTB]

wow you guys can :ecomcity:

Kristi - CONGRATS hun!! 3 years! WAHOOO! our 3 year is in may (we are thinking bub might be 9 days late and be born on our 3rd wedding anniversary lol)

Splotch: sorry to hear about you and your DH... but CONGRATS on your pregnancy!!!

Hope everyone else is good... :fingerscrossed: for not much sickness!!

my symptoms have almost all gone! i dont feel preg at all now! im still tired at about 12pm, but other than that i only have the uterus stretching pains... its frustrating not feeling preg...!

[cheezelkat]

Hello lovelies :wave:

Usual for me...blah! And to top it off, I was in the loo being sick this morning and my son pulled the lounge room curtains down on top of his head and he fell underneath the futon. He's OK - I ended up giving him a small piece of chocolate though to soothe him. He was quite cranky.

I'm another big fan of bring on nap time!

Congrats on 3 years kristi!

[Eloise&Charlie'sMum]

Thanks girls for the Congrats 3 years just seems to come and gone so fast !!!!!

QTB how cool wuld that be if bubba came on your anniversery !!!!!

Cheezelkat...you poor chook and your little man :hugs: :hugs: !!!!! What start to the day for you both !!!!

kristyD...I think they are called travel sickness bands but the chemist should know if you ask for that !!!

YM3...I am try ing all the positive affermatuions I can muster :laughing: but still I am :barf: I might need you to start saying for me too LOL !!!!

[Noah's Mum]

Youngmum3 - My wedding day was the only time DH ever been romantic, that was nearly 2 years ago. I have my 2nd wedding anniversary in November. It's hard to do work though! Whats with the ginger nuts they are so hard

QTB - I totally agree. My symptoms had disappeared and then nausea and MS came back with a vengeance

CK - good to hear DS is ok,what a little monkey. I am so tempted to ask if i can go and have a nap in sick bay.

kristi - Thanks for that!

I am starting to feel heaps dizzy any tips?

[littleone]

Hi to all:wave:

Splotch - Welcome to the thread. Just wanted to give you lots of :hugs:. I hope you have lots of support from family and friends over the coming weeks. We will be here if you need to vent.

Kirstyd - My dates are always different too. My transfer was the 19th July, (day 3). FS said to go off your EPU. It also works out exact for the date of my LMP which was July 2nd. I'm sticking with the 7th of April which is what I thought from the beginning.

I have booked in for my NT scan... $250! Is this normal??? I had to try 2 different places as the book out really quickly. I'm booked for the 25th Sep. Will be so cool to get pics. Can't wait to see bubs again.
MS is not as bad at the moment. Still can't eat dinner especially meat or chicken, I think its the smell of it cooking?? I know what you girls mean about ham, I never eat it much normally but seen it in the supermarket the other day and it looked great. I seem to want all the things I'm not allowed :p

I seem to have lost a bit of weight? Guess its from not eating much cause I feel yuk. Can't wait to get my appetite back. I think I have the beginnings of a baby bump! Its only little but seems to be there all the time now. Still get lots of bloating in the arvo too.

Hope you are all traveling well.

Tracy

[Noah's Mum]

Littleone - My dates don't work out at all. My LMP was the 3rd July but transfer wasn't until the 25th July. I will just have to wait for the 12week scan to get a better idea.
Some places it can be normal a friend of mine paid $270 for her NT scan. I have booked mine and i am only paying $135. If you are worried about the costs ask for another referral. How exciting i hope the next 2 weeks fly by i have my NT scan on the 28th September.. You must be excited having a little baby bump! I can't wait although i am going to have to grow into mine. I am still heaps bloated from IVF.

[Bex]

Hey ladies.

Congrats splotch.

Kristi H congrats and good work on three years

Kristy D Dizzyness can be a sign of low iron levals.

littleone I lost weight with DS2 I think he was just taking everything I had. lol I made it up later though :laughing:

CheezalKat they always know the second ur destacted don't they.

I felt kicks heaps earlier with DS 2. This time I swear I could feel flutters and stuff about week 5 but I dunno.

well I jinxed myself saying I only feel sick if im hungry. I have officially graduated from the nausea club to the :barf: I wasa putting the kids in the stroller for a walk and on the phone to DH when I just had to run and high power decorate the toilet. LOL Yuck now I am sipping ginger beer which I don't even like but i gives me relief. I brought some tablets so when my ginger beer runs out I can move to them. The funny thing is now im starving but I am afraid to eat for the chance or repeating this morns episode.

My DH and boys all a had a bad night so I am the walkin zombie and severely doubt any house work will get done.

[sillysideup]

Hi all!

Splotch - welcome to the due in April club!

KristyH - hope your day is special - even though you won't actually see your DH. Happy 3 years and many many more to come!

KirstyD - I'm pretty sure shop bought mayo is fine. You just have to watch out for the home made and resturant stuff which has raw egg in it. Someone please correct me if that's not the case.

Well .... I'm actually feeling a lot better.. Just the occassional wave of nausea. Filing my tum up on Cheese sandwiches seems to really do the trick! (please dont' let this post jinx me too). My main complaint at the moment is just tiredness and lack of engery/motivation. Heaps of house work to do but I'd rather sit and stare at the wall!!!!

Stay happy and hope everyone with ms has a meal the settles well in their tummies soon!!

SSU

[bec77]

hi everyone, have not posted for a awhile, can not get near a computer when at work and dp seems to be obsessed with fishing forums when i am at home!!!
Welcome to splotch, hope all works out for you, feel free to come on and chat, it is a very friendly groupthis april group.
Good to see that all are going well, kristy.... congrats on the wedding anniversary :) .
I have a question... i know that you are not meant to eat raw fish etc when preg but can you eat sushi rolls?? maybe the tuna, as i think the crab stick and chicken, beef etc maybe not as it is like eating cold cooked meat??? i am very confused, i went to the shops this morning and went to grab some lunch and feeling queezy did not feel like maccas or anything greasy but there is not too much in the healthy choice that we can eat, meat and salad sandwiches are out, i was thinking that sushi rolls are out, pre made salads are out!! :eek:
What on earth is there left, ended up getting a sausage roll and now feel yuk.

[QTB]

QTB - I totally agree. My symptoms had disappeared and then nausea and MS came back with a vengeance

LOL great!! i hope mine dont come back with vengeance!! d

[Missus S]

bec77 - I think sushi in general wouldn't be good as the cold rice could still have listeria on it. I think any refrigerated foods are at risk of listeria. It's up to you to decide what you want to eat. I still eat some cold meats here and there............it's too hard not to sometimes.

Kristi - Happy 3rd Wedding Anniversary :)

[Wivi]

Hi there :wave: .

Just introducing myself and would like to join your thread.

My dates are yet to be confirmed but I think that I would be due 28 April, so I just scrape in.

I have one DS (Oct 05) and he was 2 weeks early so I think this bub will make it here in April.

I have been reading about your MS and while I know it may still be coming at this stage I am just tired. I didn't have any MS when I had DS either so I guess I might just be one of the lucky ones.

My BH friends are the only people who will know about this pregnancy for a while (other than DH of course). I kind of like waiting to tell people and we don't live near our families so it isn't likely that anyone will notice much.

On the food factor - there are lots of different arguments about what is safe and what isn't. With my first PG I was advised to stay away from imported deli meats like salami etc and mouldy cheeses. Cold meats like ham, pressed chicken etc are ok. Fresh seafood is also ok. I followed this as a rule of thumb, and didn't eat pre-prepared foods as much as possible. Otherwise I just ate sensibly I guess. From what was explained to me by the Ob and my own GP, I understood that in Australia our food regulations are very strict where as in other countries the risk of things like listeria etc is much higher and most pregnancy books are not Australian written. (Especially "What to Expect When You are Expecting). But - it is what you feel comfortable with. Fresh is best - always and pretty safe too.

Anyway - I have blabbed on enough here. Should be organising myself for the dinner/bath/bed onslaught of the late afternoon!

Hope to get to know you all well in the coming months.

Hi. I'm due the 6th April 2008, and would like to join this thread. This is where I am at the moment.

This is my second pregnancy, although my first one ended at only 5 weeks (2 days after we found out). So much of what I'm going through feels foreign. Even though though I know many people who have young children, it is comforting reading all the entries from those due in April 2008 as well.

I've had a tough week. Last Thursday night (why is it always after the Dr has gone home?) I had a small amount of spotting. I saw the Dr on the Friday and had a weekend of bed rest and taking it easy since. I haven't had any since :fingerscrossed:.

I had an ultra sound at 6 weeks and 2 days and saw its little heart beating. I am looking forward to the NT scan at 12 weeks. My Dr didn't want to send me for an ultra sound after the spotting so I will be relieved to know that that little heartbeat is still going strong. I am thinking positive and am grateful that my MS has been strong each morning and evening and that (.)(.) have been feeling weird and huge still.

Thanks for the ear. I look forward to reading more about everyones journeys over the upcoming months.

Welcome sciend!! Congrats on your pregnancy!! :D

Lots of sticky baby dust to you! :babydust2: :babydust2:

[SethandRuby'sMum]

Welcome sciend. Congratulations

[mmalt]

welcome sciend and Congratulations on the pregnancy!! Here's to a healthy and sticky next 8 months!!

[Wivi]

Hi Sciend - I hope it all goes well for you.

Thanks for making me welcome everyone. QTB I did notice your boy was also an Oct 5 bub - looks like we will be having very similar parenting experiences.

Can't remember who it was - but someone mentioned dizziness. I had a few bouts of dizziness with DS and have had the odd bit here and there with this one already too. For me it relates to having low blood pressure, mine is always a bit on the low side and it can also mean I have waited too long to eat. It doesn't get really bad for me though. Not sure if this helps, but I usually have to get up from sitting or lying down a bit slowly, rather than jump up and head off straight away. And eat regularly!

Welcome to our new April mums to be!!!! So exciting!!! No matter where you are at - we hope we can offer the support ypu need.

KristyH - happy anniversary to you and hubby! Hope dinner with your friends was fun!

just severe nausea today. Had a choc milkshake which went down quite well - just had it over the course of a few hours. I think I need to avoid meat products as it seems they make me feel even worse. Still sticking to the cheese on toast!

You should see the huge nest in my hair from being in bed and not brushing it!! I sound feral! I had a bath today (can't stand in the shower) and washed my hair but couldn't manage to brush it!!! I look hideous! DH says he still loves me!

So, what happens now? I see most people are booking scans - is there any other sort of test before this? Also, is this done through your GP? I'm public, but can't remember!!!

Have a great eveninng everyone!
