Due In May :)

Just got done listening to the baby kick and swim away from the doppler, swim back up to it and kick it again lol

Jary- I'd love to see a pic of you in a pram. bet you were an adorable little riot!
I went with the travel system. Love the look of a pram, but the 6 month shelf life pushed me to want more from it, aka a car seat too. figured it's the least it can do.

I've also had some bad pains. Sometimes aches, sometimes hot, burning fire under my skin. MW said it's probably my muscles ripping open. Awesome! :/

 

[Hann12]

Lol Sass, it probably is though! Takes ages for the stomach muscles to get back to pre pregnancy, if they ever do!

My DD woke up early today and I'm exhausted. Always feel sick when I'm tired too. Could really do with a proper uninterrupted stretch of sleep past 6.30am but I doubt that will ever happen! Even when my MIL or mum stay to help out they never get up first thing, it's always me. And once I'm up I am up. I wish that just once I could sleep in and naturally wake up on my own. Haven't had that in so long - well almost 16 months!

I feel your pain. My lo was up at 5 this morning. I gave him a bottle in his cot and he nodded off and played for the next hour so i got a little more sleep.

I don't want to speak too soon but im hoping my MS has gone now. Haven't been sick for about a week. Still waves of nausea but nothing as bad and i have born able to eat cereal on a morning. I tried a coffee other day but not quite ready for that yet!

Hoping the nausea will end soon too, cos i had all day long nausea with my second until 22 weeks

 

[Powell130]

I haven't really been nauseous this whole time, except for a few random occasions, but it's been getting more challenging everyday to brush my teeth! My gag reflex seems to be getting reallly sensitive! lol ugh

Hello All - it' s been a week since I've been on, so had a lot of reading to catch up on...hope everyone is doing well.

Sorry to write such a long post, but I thought I'd share my 'adventure' over the past week............

Last monday around 2pm - had my NT scan, all looked well. In fact, one of the kids did a complete flip right in front of the US and the other waved, lol, showing off already. It was so sweet - it really brought tears to my eyes. Then went for the blood work and they removed 10 vials of blood (yuck), felt so dizzy afterwards...

but I was on cloud 9 as my babies were great, and i was so happy to see them. So I continued my errands and dropped the van off - then - (and sorry for TMI) but BIG gush of blood -- not spotting, not a little - a lot - enough to make anyone (pregnant or not) freak out, and what was worse is that this was twice in a week and a half. So, told the boys in the garage i needed the van back = and off to the hospital (after about 10 minutes of frantic crying). Picked up OH and drove to the good hospital (20 minutes away) and was sent for more blood work - not cool, another 5 vials were taken making 15 in total for the day.

Anyways...after a long wait, almost fainting, an internal exam and an US - the doctors found the problem - sub chorionic hematoma - or in regular persons speak - bleeding from or around the placenta! Wow - happens in like 1% of all pregnancies - so doc put me on strict bed rest for a week to ensure that the bleed stops. There's no known cause of it - there's no way to prevent it - and until 20 weeks, there's nothing they can do to correct it.

Fortunately for me - it mostly stopped on monday - since then just resting with my feet up, and of course sleeping - lots of sleeping.

Saw my OB yesterday, and she is not worried. Heard their HB's again, so big sigh of relief. Was told that if the babies make it through the 'bleed' then odds are they will be fine. The effects for them are done at that point - it then becomes an issue of anxiety for the mom - go figure.

So now, I am limited in certain things i can do - exercise is down to a bare minimum - lifting anything over 5 lbs is out of the question - and , well that's out of the question....sigh - poor hubby.

How terrifying that must have been!! Hugs to you I hope everything will be okay for your sweet little twins

 

[Powell130]

I'm so glad the baby's are okay!

 

[Hann12]

Wow BDownMommie that sounds scary but sounds like your little ones are fighting through it! Make sure you take it easy and do exactly what they say! Will be thinking of you and hoping everything works out well!

I just got my downs result - 1 in 11000 so pretty happy as my age the results are 1 in 690 so mine are a fair bit better. Nice to get some good news!

Back from taking my DD swimming, she's now tearing up toilet paper, one if her favourite past times!!

 

[Sass827]

I'm sorry bdown! Sounds super scary. Hope it makes you feel better that my cousin had the same for 4 months and is now set to deliver a healthy LO in January.

 

[Powell130]

ughhhh i'm soo sleepy today..really wanna go back to sleep lol

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Gald your lo's are ok bd, must have gave you quite a scare!

12 weeks today ! Phew finally! Ticker says 2nd tri so I'm going by that, yayy for second tri ! Xx

 

[Powell130]

yay for second tri!! my ob goes with 12 weeks too

 

[Jary]

I haven't really been nauseous this whole time, except for a few random occasions, but it's been getting more challenging everyday to brush my teeth! My gag reflex seems to be getting reallly sensitive! lol ugh

My gag reflex is awful! Very few times I actually feel sick now but it's my gag reflex that makes me feel awful.

Really hope it goes away soon as I've never been a 'gaggy' person.


And I do have pics of me in the pram! I've got this silly frilly hat on!

 

[prolifer]

hehe hiya ^^

15 weeks for me today!

 

[Powell130]

Happy navel orange week!!

 

[Powell130]

i think it's so crazy that I can hear the baby kick the doppler but can't feel it!

I can't wait to be able to feel movement!

 

[Hann12]

In less than 2 hours I'll be 15 weeks too yay!!

Welcome to the second tri Stevensmummy!

 

[Powell130]

yay for 15 weeks!! I wont be there til Monday..feels like forever

 

[Dee_H]

16 weeks today..apparently as big as an avocado! Another ultrasound next Wednesday! Even though they told me a boy I still haven't bought anything blue. There is a small part of me that worries "what if they read it wrong and it's really a girl!!" I am holding onto all my DD stuff for a little longer just to make sure. After this u/s I feel they will be able to get a more clear shot!! Hoping it is a boy..but if they are wrong I just want healthy bub!!
