Any Aussie ladies starting IVF?

[Miss Redknob]

:wave: Jem, I am based in Sydney so in the same boat as Aleja xx

Aleja- it a tricky one, but you are a gorgeous friend for being so thoughtful... I think that she would want to be there for you. I know I did, for my friend- even though it was hard. I bet my sister ends up throwing me a surprise baby shower too. She is really bummed that I don't want one you're right - maybe I should just do it for all those who want to celebrate!

Jem- I'm in perth! I went through Fertility South as its so close to home for me- but I have heard that Hollywood is the best and has some great doctors...that would have defn been my next choice. Have you had a consult there?

 

[Kirs_t]

Shame it's too far for me to fly over for the catch up! I'd love to have meet you all cxx

 

[Take2]

Ooh catch up would be so good but even wagga is a little far from everyone, maybe one day, you never know.
My legs are so sore from walking the Giant Stairway yesterday, realising how unfit I am, oh well deal with that next year lol.
Wish- I keep wondering if you've gone into labour, hope all is good x

 

[Miss Redknob]

Just saw FB!!

Wish - Yohanna is perfect! Big congrats to you and DH xxx

 

[Take2]

Oh wish had the baby yay, so want details now

 

[Miss Redknob]

I know Take, can't wait for her to post her birth story

 

[Kirs_t]

Happy birthday yohanna! Congratulations wish- what a prefect little girl. Was so happy to hear the news xxx

 

[aleja]

Oh wow ... I can't wait to hear about Yohanna's birth, what a lovely name too. I bet Wish's birth story will be entertaining

Kirst, I think just cave in an have your sister organise a shower for you . It really is a special time in your life and you'll only be a first time mum once in a lifetime. Do it!!

Well I had a semi- eventful day... Had lower abdominal cramps last night/this morning so rang the hospital - they asked me to come in for monitoring. Waited 2.5hrs to be seen but luckily it was a false alarm--phew for that! Braxton hicks have kicked in.

 

[Miss Redknob]

Glad to hear you are ok Aleja! xx

 

[Kirs_t]

I'm glad you're ok too aleja!! Sounds like a scary day xxx

 

[Take2]

You must feel relieved aleja, too early for you yet, a few more weeks in the oven

 

[Maddy40]

Yay congrats to Wish and welcome Yohanna

JeminOz... and stick around even if we don't know much about Perth

Kirst... roll on school hols

Aleja... ooh BH, are they hurty or just uncomfortable So lovely that you're conscious of what your friend might be going through. At least she knows you'll understand, no matter what she chooses to do about the shower.

Take... I would blame the soreness on the stretching of your ligaments that goes along with pregnancy and not on your fitness

Hi anyone I missed


AFM went to the early pregnancy class that's a requirement for the antenatal clinic...it was pretty boring. 3 hours of yap-yap about all the stuff you can't eat (most of which I'm choosing to ignore), all the tests your GP should be doing and how you should encourage your partner to be supportive. Yawn. The best bit was the physio who spoke at the end for a few minutes - so it was worthwhile to go, if only for her session.

 

[aleja]

Thanks girls, I too am glad the little man is staying put for now.

Maddy, I went to a women's health physio during this pregnancy (and it was free!)
The appts were really useful especially for back pain issues. I also learnt a lot from her about what is happening to my body as the baby grows. I recommend going to the physio if she is available .

I spoke to my friend --she wants to come to the baby shower. She said she doesn't feel weird at all about friends having baby showers but she was glad I checked in with her.
