Glad she's grown TTC!
Max of 2 weeks to go - wow!

Hoping all keeps going well for you for the next few days.

I'm just glad I have you guys to complain to ... Complained to someone the other day and they mentioned all that we'd been through to get pregnant - yeh I get that but when you are in pain you should be allowed to whinge!!

Enjoy your rest time ttc how far along are you now? Im dreading the ppl application it was a pain anything to do with government usually is. How big do they think baby is now?

That peeves me off so bad woof. It's one of my biggest pregnancy pet peeves.

I know mrs tugs ... So if you fall pregnant at the drop of a hat that's fine to complain but if you have to go through years of pain and psychological torment then you have to sail through pregnancy no matter how much pain you are in or how uncomfortable ... Grrr... Just because you've had ivf doesn't mean you get a special pregnancy where nothing hurts and nothing worries you and nothing goes wrong ..

[MrsTugs]

Exactly!!!!!
I don't sugar coat it any more. When ppl ask how I'm going I say "awful, hate it!" They always get a shock and make some pathetic comment (like what you said about I should be appreciative considering how hard it's been) and I'm always very blunt.

I tend to just say everything is fine to random people but I have told colleagues and friends more of how it is ... Mainly as I requested to work from home so can't lie and say it's a cakewalk ...

After going through cancer treatment for so many years I got used to just avoid conversation with random people ... Too many suggestions of curing cancer by eating apples whilst facing south etc ...

We commented today how nothing goes to plan HA! Just 32 weeks and they said today she was just under 1.6kg but up to a 15% either way of it being out! Amniotic fluid was below 400mm meant to be 1L! Definitely feel as if nothing is going right but she's moving heaps complain to your hearts content in here because why the hell not! Being pregnant sucks haha

[woof5105]

Hoping they've underestimated her size!

Glad she's moving heaps - that must be reassuring.

[ttc1981]

I think she will be about 1.5/1.6kg can't be much bigger as I'm not big at all... But honestly for a prem that isn't a bad size from what I have read! She's still 3rd percentile and hasn't gone back... Amazing how hard the ultrasound was to see with the much less amniotic fluid!
I do have a feeling she will be out with the week... I don't know why but just a feeling I have!
Hope everyone else is going along smoothly x

Awww ttc precious teeny little bub. I think that sounds like a good size. My son was born 37w4days he weighed 2.26kg thats only 600g more than your bubs estimated size. I had very low fluid. Seriously your little one will thrive when born they can do so much for little bubs. As for your feeling mothers intuition is a very very real thing
