ahhh I

my new rocks. got them in Nov 2004 and they're still going strong, because I got my first BFP in Jan 2005 so I've only been out a handful of times since then, because I've spent the past 8 years being pregnant or being a mummy haha.

This is the sort of thing I normally wear when I go out. But now...not a chance lol (the corset and skirt I've only had opportunity to wear once before getting my BFP - I only bought it in September)

Spoiler

and this one I also bought in September and haven't had opportunity to wear it at all! So pretty gutted about this! This is one that I can still get into actually thanks to an elasticated back panel - but it's the one that makes me look like a pregnant hooker lol. So that's totally out

Spoiler

Really ticked off with my kids this evening. One of them, though none will fess up as to which of them it was, has hidden Jason's inhalers and aerochamber (and forgotten where they've hidden it). Could have been Jason himself, I really have no way of knowing. They admit they were hiding them around the room in various locations, but now apparently they can't be found, and Jason has been coughing all evening.

You look great Alice! Wish I could pull off wearing something like that.

grrr so I think I'm getting spd. my hips are killing me and I've had those sharp pains up the middle for awhile. very aggravating how my legs feel! last night was the first time in a long dinner i slept in bed because i was exhausted, other wise i have to sleep on the couch because I'm so uncomfortable

Ladies I'm noticing some contractions that have started up tonight. My uterus feels like its contracting. It feels like I've had 3 or 4 in the past hour or so. I mean could it be something else other than contractions? What it feels like is my uterus gets harder and tightens and the pain is like a cramping type pain.

I would go to a Doctor for reassurance...it could be braxton hicks but even so I would find out for sure.
Donna I am not sure about the pains maybe you could ask your hospital about physio classes? They offer them at my hospital but they do cost money...from memory I think it's $80 for a six week block? Probably worthwhile if you have problems with your hips etc.
Doctor appointment went well I guess. I had to wait a really long time. My appointment was for 11am but I wasn't seen until after 12...2 other women jumped the queue ahead of me...one had 2 noisy kids with her so I didn't mind but the other woman apparently needed an interpreter so she had to be seen so the interpreter could go see someone else. It kind of ticked me off because I have traveled overseas a lot before I got married and if I needed to see a doctor or go to hospital I had to wait my turn like everyone else...and nobody offered me an interpreter- I had the sense to ask one of my colleagues to come help me explain my problem to any Doc or whatever. Seems unfair that just cause they are foreign they get bumped up the line ahead of other people!

Junemomma-ive been contracting since 14 1/2wks. So you very well could be. If they do not go away with rest and water AND contractions this early are not normal for you, I'd suggest getting checked out just to make sure nothing funky is going on. *hugs*

junemomma- I had 2 nights of strong contractions at about 14 weeks (probably related to the hematoma) and everything is perfectly fine. It can't hurt though to call up the doc's office for some reassurance

I'm so jealous of the amazing bumps everyone has going on! I've only gained maybe 2 pounds and although my pants are snug, there's no real bump in sight!

My acupuncturist said that when baby goes through a growth spurt, mom is more tired. I've been exhausted these past 2 days, similar to first tri fatigue. There were also 2 days last week like this. She said it usually last about 2-3 days so maybe that's why. Have you noticed anything similar- going from decent energy to exhausted and back again after a few days?

donna noble · Jan 25th, 2013, 07:03 AM

I have been very exhausted at times. last couple days especially. i slept really good again last night. I iced my worse hip before though and tried to be mindful of my posotion.

junemomma hope its just braxton hicks. but def see a dr in case its not! i have felt my uterus tighten a couple times but nothing like real cramps.

junemomma09 · Jan 25th, 2013, 07:57 AM

Thanks ladies! I called my dr office and they want me to go to the ER to get checked. They want to make sure I don't have an infection, I'm dehydrated or if there's cervical changes. I'm waiting for DH to get home so we can go! Cross your fingers for me!
