Cautiously Pregnant After A Loss. PMA, But Not Taking It For Granted.

[kelly1973]

i took the high dose folic but mine was just through choice and im still on asprin.
mmm love your bump xxx
hows everyone today??

 

[ickle pand]

How old are you TS? I'm 32. Don't know of that's older or not lol!

 

[too_scared]

Oh, I also took aspirin until 12 weeks. I was going to take it until 34 weeks but the specialist told me to stop.

I just turned 36 last month.

How are you all today?

I am up after only 6 hours because my shithead (term of endearment, they actually know we are talking about them when we say that ) dog "wanted to go out". What he really wanted was to go out for a second so he can come back in to get more "go to sleep" treats. Jerk is too smart for his own good.

I hope you are all having a good day so far. I am going back to bed!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Hope you manage to get some more sleep Mindy! These pets certainly know how to work us don't they?
Going to view another house today. It's in a village 3 miles away so not ideal, as we would need to run 2 cars or I would be a bit isolated. The rent is more than we pay now so I'm not sure if we can afford it, plus I know Mark isn't keen to be in a village. However it's a stunning, large double fronted country cottage and I have a feeling once I see it I am going to fall in love with it.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Mindy hopefully you can have a nap to catch up today!

Oh good luck Mrs M that place sounds lovely!! X

 

[too_scared]

Thanks ladies I was lucky enough to get almost 2 more hours of sleep. Silly dogs.

Mrs. M., that house sounds wonderful. I really hope it works out for you guys.

My cat is a pain too. She knows how to make enough noise that I'll get out of bed to shout at her and then she runs straight to her bowl. She had food in it today but it was all round the edges. Grr!

 

[too_scared]

Silly pets!

I have to close the bedroom door in the night to keep out cats out. I can't sleep with them at all. One cat will lay on me and refuse to move all night. Then, of course, I stay in one position all night because I don't want to move her and I end up laying there all night uncomfortable and awake. The other cat will wake me up at random times during the night for cuddles... by kneading on my chest. He is 25 lbs! OUCH! Also, he will meow his head off at around 5-6 am for no good reason at all. He doesn't just meow, he shouts. At least the dogs just will go to sleep and occasionally wake me up to go out early.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

25lb???????

 

[too_scared]

Yes... he has been on a diet for the last 5 years. Nothing works to get the weight off unless I give him high quality, grain free canned food. He lost about a pound or 2 but gained it all back after I had to switch to a new food for my other cat who was diagnosed with chronic renal failure about 2 years ago.

But, he is a HUGE cat. The vet said an ideal weight for him would be between 16-18 lb. I really don't know what to do for him anymore. They eat less than what they should and he still is a fatty.

 

[Ummi2boyz]

hi ladies

Ah those pets! I just acquired a little cat.4 months ago. We love him so much, but.yeah, he knows how to wake us up, and get what he wants. Simetimes he's so annoying that I have to before the kids. I don't.know how I'll manage with him when lil one comes!

I too prefer fruits ready to eat, I would eat any fruit if dh prepared.them for me.

Thank you for your nice thoughts. Ds is a bit grumpy today, but on the whole he's ok. He was playing with tje little tikes cars. Another child smashed his car in my son's one and his arm got caught in between the 2 cars. But the staff at the soft play were very nice, tjey paid a cab for me to take him to the A&E

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Sorry, posted before I finished!

And the A&E.staff was great in taking care of me. the funny thing was that they were talking ti me as if I did not understand English and when dh arrived they started talking to him, and not to me!
I'm just guessing they assumed that.because I am veiled. So dh &I and a big laugh about it! As long as my lo is well taken care of that's all that matters!

(sorry for the typos, I'm with a horrible phone and fatty fingers!)

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Oh and Mrs mig: I love house hunting! Sometimes you see such nice houses it hard to make your choice! I don't know yet if we'll move before or after baby comes.

 

[too_scared]

I'm sorry they treated you like that at the hospital. It seems strange to me that they would talk to you like that when you were obviously understanding them.

I hope that your little guy is feeling better soon.

 

[Ummi2boyz]

That's ok. You have to take it on the funny side, I think they don't mean it, some people just still have "clichés" of muslim women. It even happens to some of my friends in the shops or places like that and people get shocked when they answer with their cockney accent! Lol!
Ds just did not realise he would have to keep the cast for more than one day, so he was not to pleased about that. He'll get used to it though! Sure he won't want to take it off when the time comes!

How are you feeling today mindy? Any more twinges?

Mrs Mig: how was the house?

How is everyone else?

 

[too_scared]

I'm ok, thanks Ummi

I have more BH today and my back is hurting more but I don't think things are starting. I also have a tummyache. It is hurting down one side of my bump and across the top. But, it is constant, not coming and going like I would expect contractions to be. I really hope things don't start now until Tuesday because we have a big storm coming again tomorrow and Monday. I really don't want to go over the highway in a storm!

How are you doing?

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Hope that's going to be the last storm for you and you'll be able to go safely to the hospital.
I'm ok thk you. I try not to think to much about the pgcy atm. Since those tests went backwards, I fear the worst and at the same time I force myself to be positive, if my numbers were going down, I would have started to bleed by now. So as far as I know, I'm still pregnant.
Dh wants me to wait a bit more for the scan so we are sur that there is a heartbeat. And if all is ok I'll see the mw very soon. I'll call them if I haven't heard anything from them by next week.

 

[too_scared]

It might be better to wait a little bit for the scan. I know it is super hard but seeing that heartbeat on the screen is just about the best thing ever.

I really wish this would be our last storm but, unfortunately, Feb and March in Newfoundland is very unsettled.

How are all you ladies today?

I had a dream last night that I went to the hospital to be induced but it was taking a long time. Also, I was in a tiny room with another lady there too. I was sitting in a chair to deliver. My entire family was there, walking the halls. I was walking and walking and walking and still no labour. Then I woke up thankfully! I really hope that the dream isn't telling me that I am going to go overdue! Blah!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Ummi, I agree it's best to wait for the scan. I had a scan at 6 weeks and was told there was a HB there but it was very slow ... my next scan wasn't scheduled for 2 weeks and I spent the whole 2 weeks panicking that baby's HB would have stopped as it was so slow last time

Pregnancy dreams are so weird aren't they Mindy

I'm ok today, resting as much as possible as I had a busy day yesterday so my pelvis isn't my friend today x

 

[ickle pand]

I'm going to ask for a scan at my booking in appointment and if they say no, I'll get I private one at about 7 weeks.
