Same here Jessy. It is between 95-100+F (35-38C) almost every day for 3 months here.

It's only March and it was 91F on Saturday.

I've just seen your location - I have family friends who used to live in Jacksonville. I've been there once or twice, it's a nice city. I love the big fountain by the river, it was one of my favorite things there.

been 20 here which is werid in general never mind this time of year lol i have thrush throughout my pregnancy with james itching comes and does mucus is yellow sometimes green tint lol kinda nasty lol but there is sooo much of it thats the problems its alot which i guess maybe not a bad thing meant to be washing out bacteria and such i guess i have been trying to increase natrual bio live yogurt and not take so much sweet stuff in thats meant to make thrush worse but thrush i have heard can cause problems if it gets bad and left untreated got hospital with specialist next thursday so might ask her if she can do a swab and check things out just to be on safe side, she wants to keep an eye on IC

i am a little worried wondering if anyone has any advice, i have started getting cramping in my lower stomach, it started on sunday and i thought it was braxtion hicks i got it 14th week with DS and since then its been getting more painful tonight in the supermarket it was making me sinch slight because of the pain, no bleeding or anything and it usually settles when i rest for long periods or just goes away but little worried about it as DS was premmie and also had labour like contractions early on and had to stop me at 17 weeks with him first.....

any advice?

Hey Lynne,
Sorry you haven't been feeling so good lately. My friend whose pregnant and also had a history of premature labor with her first son was automatically put on some sort of medicine to stop contractions since she was around 16 wks, banned from sex, and given progesterone suppositories to help maintain her pregnancy and now at 30 wks now is getting steroid shots to help her baby's lung mature just in case (her first stayed in NICU for almost 2 months).
I know medicine is practiced differently from country to country but it doesn't hurt to ask your OB if with your history you need to take some precautions.

 

[lynne192]

i am already under control of fetal medicine they wont give me anything and they don't use progestrone here to mentain a pregnancy, just not the done thing *shrug* they also wont give you medication to stop contractions until you have contractions but will be getting steriods and they are going to check for IC at appointments and scan/see me every 2-4weeks. my DS was 33weeker after 13days labour and 13days without waters but he was great for premmie only in SCBU for 5days then home and was breathing on his own from word go. they have been keeping eye on baby also because my son was born with rhesus diease because of my blood antibodies etc.

Hey beautifull expectant mothers, just a quick question... how do you post links to your signature? like a link for a journal? and also if there is a specific page from a thread that you want to link to your OP how do you do it? lol i have no idea how to do these things!! hope this make sense..

 

[Ezza BUB1]

hi ladies, gosh i had 3 pages to catch up on... i hope Lynne everything is ok for you and i would defo call the hospital to check re pains.

names ive seen sounds wonderful and jessy cant wait to find out what you have finally decided on .. i wonder if it slightly changes again haha

MUMSINCE to post a journal link on your signature you have to go to edit signature and then get the web address you have on the journal page ...... past it to your link it should look a little like this-

https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnan...-after-my-angel-went-heaven.html#post15079528

that is mine then you have to add a few bits to it, this bit to the beginning - to call it something you like for example My Pregnancy JOurnal put that part right after the numbers on the end of your web address and then finish it with
it should look like this or similare-

i made it pink but change as you wish xo

ps are you in south Aust?? not many aussies on here im from brissy but living in melbourne at the moment

 

[mumsince2010]

thank you

we are originally from barossa Valley in south aus and have now move closer to Adelaide.
i have noticed the lack of aussies, and its hard to compare notes etcs about maternity health care because compared to other places we have a different system... sorta. like i dont get a 16 week scan unless i go private, infact it seems we only get half the check ups/scans that others get

 

[Ezza BUB1]

oooh barossa valley ... LOVELY!! it is hard..... i was living in scotland last year and fell pregnant back in setp then mc in oct so i know a lil bout uk system but its super hard to compare over here as everything is sooooooooooo different.... its even different depending on who you see..... liek my sil is preggas and had to pay for all of her scans ... where as i saw the exact same dr and got my first scan free and my second one was done at the hospital so that was free too then my third was done in melbourne once we moved and it cost me $230 eeeeek!! my next one is done at hospital down here so soon find out haha.... its different everywhere but at least you can compare with me now and we are only about a week apart im due 18th sept.

im classed as a high risk pregnancy coz i have diabetes so they check on me more frequent than the like of a normal pregnancy but i dont get the 16 week scan either i wanted it so i could find out the sex but im not paying for it if i dont have to.... i was tempted but hubby said JUST WAIT damn it.

so i hope your pregnancy is going good gons now.... im caught up on your journal so fingers crossed no more dramas. lets have fun on this journey

oh and im glad your link worked and looks nice in green ... wat else was it you wanted to know how to do?? i think i missed something xoxo

 

[mumsince2010]

oh i basically did the same thing you did with my journal, so i worked it out on my own hehe...

i have never had to pay for my scans, except my private ones. i did the 3d/4d scan at 28 weeks with my first pregnancy, that was $200, but i got dvd, and a heap of piccies and they even put them in a cool album for me.

im paying to have a private 3d/4d gender scan at 15+5 because im impatient and my partner might be in melbourne for the 19/20 week scan. sigh his work just doesnt understand the whole concept of "we are having a baby and jords doesnt want to miss any thing!"

must be a male boss thing. lol

since we hit 12 weeks, all my complications have settled down. i got a call from my dr jsut before telling me my haemoglobin levels were low, so i guess that means i'll be on iron supplements or something but oh well.

 

[Ezza BUB1]

Nice work, im glad it worked for ya

thats awesome on the 3d/4d one.... would you suggest doing it for me .. i would love it i reckon. for my last scan i got a dvd and a bunch of pics too which is cool the best thing bout dvd is you can pause it and take pics of the better shots that way so you have an abundance of pics hahah

im so impatient ... i should just pay for it and do it on my own hahaha i reckon hubby would like it if we did it though he just says for me to be patient ... but i so wanna know NOW!!! and get prepared

bummer your partner might not be there for your 20 weeks one damn it .... that sux but at least you are getting a scan really soon YIPPEEEE!! im well jealous... defo a male boss thing they just dont get it

im glad everything has settled for you thats good news ... and if the worst thing that has come off now is that you have to go on iron i think your doing alright

yay for healthy babies

Has anyone used the GENDERmaker, (or any home gender test) Gender Prediction test?? and has it been right for you?

I ordered one, just for a laugh, as you do. considering all the crazy old wives tales for gender prediction. it came today so im going to do it in the morning, and then i guess when i have my gender scan on the 10th i'll post here if it was right or wrong.

i just thought it was something fun to do, and ive been going crazy thinking about the gender of this bub since i found out i was pregnant! FOB thinks im crazy, he cant see the fun side of it all

 

[mumsince2010]

URMM.... i just realised this site is baby and bump australia, yet there are hardly any aussie ladies on here... or at least i havent noticed them...

 

[Ezza BUB1]

hah good luck on the gender test.. i havent done one but i reckon it would be good fun ..... i have done the old .. hold your wedding ring on a piece of hair above your belly button and if it goes in circles its a boy but if it goes back and forth its a girl ..... i got BOY which i totally think is right but we shall see.

this is baby and bump australia coz we are in AUS .... it says different wherever you are im pretty sure coz when i was in the uk its said Baby and bump UK... i think its like whereever you are it change, but its a worldwide website
