Femmes Fetales - (PAL) Holding onto Hope 9 months and on...

[Beanwood]

Kizzy You must be shattered. I really hope things are moving for you. XX

 

[grandbleu]

Kizzy - Hope you're hanging in there with good spirits...I can't imagine how frustrating it is but I hope you have an excellent outcome and this little girl comes out soon to meet her new family (and us!). Bon courage as the French say!

AnnaP - There are many of us with recent Angel dates...it's really hard - there's excitement about a new life within us but at the same time we're mourning a loss and what could have been. Take care hon. Having an early scan (I had mine at 9 weeks) definitely helped ease my feelings of anxiety and I'm sure it will do the same for you.

Kizzy--hang in there hun, sending lots of PMA and prayers your way, c'mon Tinks, we all want to meet you!

Vixmar--fx'd for you to have your lo by the weekend!

Chilli--thank you for stopping in hun, I was thinking about you the other day, glad things are going so well and please let us know when you have delivered your lovely little one!!

Imp--beautiful bump pictures, wow!! And I don't see any excess roundness! You look fabulous!!

SamB--such lovely pictures of your little lady, she is definitely a cutie!!

Bellas/Shell--Happy 36 weeks lady, 1 more to go till term!!

lil--happy 18 wks, not long until your scan, I can't wait to see your pics!!!

milos--sounds like you had a wonderful time with your family and on the lovely goodies you got!!

Anna--It is wonderful to have you back!! I am sorry to hear of your DD passing with the Kid. As others have said, the Kid is watching over you and your growing little one. These anniversaries are very hard, just know you are being thought of!! Good luck with your early scan, I think that is a great idea, did the same myself, like Grand says, it helps a lot to get them.

Hope you other ladies are doing well! I can't believe October is just 2 days away!

Kizzy thinking of you today.. hope tinks makes her arrival soon..

 

[shelleney]

Happy 36 weeks, Bump Buddy Bellas! 1 more week to go til Full Term!!
xx

Kizzy - Hope your next post announces Tinks' arrival. Sorry to hear you're still waiting, but hang in there...she'll be here soon.

Anna - for the Kid's due date. They are never easy. I'm sure he/she is watching over you, and his/her sibling growing inside of you. Good move on booking the early scan. It will definitely be reassuring instead of waiting until November.

Shell/Bellas - Happy 36 weeks! You guys are almost there.

I finished pre-registering at the hospital, and we have also got our crib & changing table ordered. It should be delivered next week, and we can't wait to put it together! Have our next scan scheduled a week from today, and can't wait to see Coco's progress. Oh, and next week will be another hurdle crossed (knock on wood!)...IT WILL BE V-DAY!!!! So happy, and still quite amazed that it's already here.

Happy 36 weeks Shell!! These weeks are flying by!!xx

 

[lilrojo]

Happy 36 weeks Shell & Bellas..

Happy belated 37 Amber.. yay full term..

I cant believe how so many of you are so far along already.. seems like you all were just moving over to pal.. wow how time flies..

Neffie-great job getting the crib and changing table picked out.. did you get a combo one or separate pieces.. luckily we dont have to buy anything big as i have it all from my dd.. cant believe almost 24 weeks.. i think your pregnancy is making mine seem to fly too..

AFM-13 days till my scan.. cant wait.. staying team yellow but just ready to see my peanut again.. was a bit of a squiggle last night which is always reassuring.. need to get the nursery done in a few months.. paint etc.. prob beg of november end of october..

Also was wondering what you all think of bfing.. I have been going back and forth on bfing or ffing.. i ff my daugher.. and have been thinking of trying bfing this time around.. just want others opinion on the issue.. i know we all have different ones but would love to hear what others think...

 

[sparkle]

Does anyone else keep checking obsessively for posts from Kizzy?!

happy 36 weeks Shell and Bellas!

Neffie- Im also finding this pregnancy is going so fast... nearly at v day!

Lil- I bf Cormack exclusively for 4 months and hope to do the same this time. I say give it a go and if it doesnt work dont beat yourself up over ffing!

 

[lilrojo]

I do sparkle.. lol and thanks for your input..

 

[Amberyll23]

Sparkle--yes, I am stalking this thread waiting to hear from Kizzy!

Lil--thanks for the 37 week wishes, but I'm only 36+1! Just a day ahead of Bellas and Shell, but I'll take the well wishes for sure!

On BFing. My goal is to BF Grace for at least the first 3-4 months, longer if possible, but it is going to depend on a lot of things. I have no reservations about FFing or switching to FFing if I have to. I may have mentioned before, but one of my best friend's was bullied by the nursing staff and mds early on to BF her son when he was born, and he just would not latch, she was a total wreck over it, and he ended up a very sick little boy for a few days due to lack of nourishment. She went to a different set of MDs for a second opinion and they immediately had her start ffing and then all was well. So, given her story, I will not beat myself up if I cannot BF for whatever reason, and will have no qualms about switching to ffing if I have to!

neffie--congrats on getting the crib and changing table ordered! One more thing to check off the list! Also for VDay approaching, a very reassuring milestone!!

AFM: Had my specialist appointment today. It went really well! MD said that my ultrasounds look great, Grace looks great, and I am doing a fabulous job controlling my sugar levels and blood pressure. He told me he sees no reason to move for an induction any sooner than 39-40 weeks, which means Grace has plenty of time to show up on her own! He said they still will not let me go past my due date, but no reason to take her much earlier, either. I am very relieved!!!

Me too Shell. FB, BnB, FB, BnB.....

 

[milosmum]

yup me too must have been on here for a sneaky peek atleast 5 times today whilst i was supposed to be working! Desperate to know how she is getting on but hoping for her sake that tinks must have arrived and she is too busy cuddling to post!

Last day at work tomorrow for 9 months - i just can't believe it!

Love to everyone xxx

 

[kizzyt]

Ahh girls, you are all so cute, I really appreciate the support and well wishes and my god I wish I had some news to tell you all! Had the propess removed today at 12 and was checked for dilation - nothing! I cried! (are you spotting a theme here with all the crying I do???) they said they will recheck in 6 hours so we spent another long boring day in the hospital (wasting more of neil's paternity leave) and I was checked again about 7pm with an attempted stretch and sweep (so painful) once again unsuccessful so have had another different pessary (prostin) which they can check in 6 hours but as it will be the middle of the night they won't check til morning and if nothing has happened again they wil re-try. I am thoroughly disappointed and swinging between being completely
emotional and hormonal to being positive, I mean she has to come this weekend right? but I can see her being an october baby now which is such a shock!!

So, there you go, still no tinks!!! Xxx

 

[Beanwood]

Oh Kizzy - Have popped on before bed to see if you had posted. Try and get some sleep hun. I know that is easy for me to say but you must be exhausted with emotion.

Thinling of you tons.... XXXXX

 

[shelleney]

Oh Kizzy

I just cant believe there has still been NO PROGRESS! Those pessaries must be useless!
Im hoping that the prostin works for you....and as long as none of this is stressing Tinks out, thats all that matters. But seriously!
You are coping so well, I would be going out of my mind if I were you. You are doing so well, and I am very proud of you
Looking forward to hearing some good news from you tomorrow....
xx

 

[milosmum]

kizzy - poor you x big hugs from me, i really hope you get some progress and some sleep overnight. tinks is obviously very comfortable on the inside which is good but frustrating for you xxx

 

[lilrojo]

so sorry to hear that kizzy.. hoping she makes her appearance very soon.. and you can have some rest too..
