Thanks ladies. My ob nurse reassured this morning explaining that my prolapsed uterus is pressing down cervix which is causing the funneling. And it explains why me being on bed rest is lengthening cervix. My uterus isn't able to fall down on my cervix! I'm so grateful I don't have IC. And that bed rest is resolving many current issues... Cervix, pre eclampsia, and heart condition. Resting truly is keeping me going strong with my pregnancy! Our men should be worshiping the ground we walk on after dealing with creating a precious life for almost a year lol

so happy for you. Yay good news.

That's good to hear Mizz! Although bed rest scares me having other kids at home. We moms tend to be supermom and try and do it all.

Hi ladies
Had to go to hospital because of leaking watery fluid...I went in yesterday and they checked for contractions and leaking. Doc said I was fine and I still had plenty of fluid around baby he said its normal discharge but it was good for me to come in since it was watery and plus me having early labor dd2. Baby is fine . So today I have to go for my shot on my butt lol fun! And then get CBC because I have history of gestational thrombocytopenia with all pregnancies. If I have it again (which nurse already told me I probably do based on last platelet count, I won't have to worry about dvt being on bed rest because my blood will be so thin. If I don't have it then they will be giving me advice on how to prevent blood clots from being on bed rest for 4 months. I kinda hope I have the blood disorder agin just because I didn't have to worry about that with dd1. However, I can't get epidural but I'm fine with that because I've given natural births both times and want to do it again call me crazy lol

Oh and I know what you mean Kelly! Doing too much landed me on complete bed rest again! My daughter had first day of day care... I was a mess because we've never been apart for a whole ever since she's been born. She of course loved it but now I'm at home alone in a room with four walls all day lol I'm used to it since this happened with dd1. But the difference was I wasn't a parent yet and now that I am I think about her all day and miss her lol

Helloooo ladies! So sorry I've been MIA. Hubby's been home and we had the most fantastic time together. He made it to a scan and saw his son's bits - which he was very proud of! lol - and he also got to feel baby kick too which was great. I had a bad cold most of the time he was home which totally sucked but it was fab having him around to look after me. Now I've just got a bit of a cough left over but otherwise all better thankfully. I make 22 weeks today and baby is moving around loads which is really reassuring and I've stopped using my doppler now. But I haven't forgotten, here's my 20 week bump pic.

Mizz - huge hugs to you hun. Hang in there.

Tour - I saw my tummy move for the first time on Monday and it hasn't stopped since! It's so cool, but very weird at the same time.

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

 

[Tournesol]

Poor Mizz, I really do feel for you! I was on bed rest for a few weeks with MS and that was bad enough!
Hang in there honey, not long to go, time will fly.

Hey Manu, long time no see! And sporting a beautiful bump too! Doesn't it feel great to actually 'look' pregnant now!
Look like you live in a beautiful place too, judging by the scenery behind you...

I think I've FINALLY stopped throwing up! I thought it would never end! I was starting to wonder if it was going to carry on after the baby was born and I'd have morning sickness forever!
But it seems to have stopped and I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying eating!
Just in case any of you missed the last one I posted, here is another amazing little 3D scan pic! (Someone suggested I should photoshop a beer bottle on to the one on the left! Naughty! I had to laugh though)

 

[MizzPodd]

Manu thank you nice to hear from you and glad you had a great time with hubby your bump is beautiful! Thank you for remembering to post your bump isn't so great to feel baby move? Lets you know this real!

Tour thanks! You are so right about time flying by. Soon I'll be 6 months and then only 3 months left!! I can't wait to get to last trimester omg tour your baby is so cute! Just wanna kiss the little cheeks I hope to be able to get the 3D ultrasound at 28 weeks (hope I'm allowed to leave bed to do that tho) I'm estatic that your morning sickness has stopped! Make sure you enjoy some of your cravings now that you can! you deserve it.

 

[Tournesol]

Thank you sweetie!

I'm seriously in to ice cream at the moment, just devoured nearly a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's! Oops!

 

[padbrat]

Hey! Welcome back Manu!! So nice to see you and your lovely tidy bump! How great that you have been pampered with Hubby taking care of you! I have to say my Hubby has been great too... though he has just told me that he may be on exercise at the end of April... I was like... hmmmm I think not! That is when baby could come.

Tour what great scan piccies... had to laugh at the beer comment! Hhahaha

Mizz you just rest up! Grow baby and cervix!

I am thinking of having a baby n bump photos done... anyone else had them previously? Only problem is all the fragmin bruises all over my stomach.. hmmmm

 

[MizzPodd]

Tour now that's more like it! You should be enjoying ice cream finally!!!

Pad thanks dear! I honestly have no clue what baby and bump pics are. Lol I've yet to explore everything on this site. But it sounds like fun to me so go for it if you can! and sweetie the bruises are okay because you have a beautiful baby growing behind them wear them proud!!

 

[BabyDeacon]

sorry ive not been about .. im now only expecting one and due on 17th
we have another little boy cooking :-D!!!

 

[Tournesol]

Hi BabyDeacon

Pad, it did cross my mind to get those photos done, but I don't much like being photographed. Unless I've been on the wine, which obviously I haven't lately!
That reminds me, my boss gave me and each of my colleagues a bottle of special edition Laurent Perrier champagne! Gutted I can't drink it!!

Mizz, baby n bump pics are when you get professional photos of your bump throughout your pregnancy and then of the baby when it's born. I believe... That's right isn't it Pad?

 

[padbrat]

Tour you are bang on the money hun! I know what you mean about gifts you can't have... I got given a very expensive bottle of red wine... and some lovely champers... can I have it? Nope... but will be great to celebrate with once our babies have arrived!!

Awww Mizz I love your comment about wearing my bruises with pride... made me smile and cry xx

Welcome Baby! I am team blue too!

 

[manuiti]

Go for it Pad! Hubby & I did a photo shoot at 20 weeks. You don't have to bare your bump if you're not comfortable. It didn't even occur to me, so my bump is under clothing in all the shots, though my tops were fairly fitted so it shows up nicely. We're going to do another one when hubby's back again and then another after baby's born.

 

[MizzPodd]

Thanks tour! That really does sound cool it would create nice memories

Pad awwww I think you should get the pics, that way one day you'll be able to look back at them and remember your miracle growing big and strong even tho we don't feel beautiful pregnant sometimes (I feel like that at times lol) I've never known of something more beautiful then creating a life inside your own now I'm going to get teary eyed!

Welcome BabyD!!!

 

[robinson380]

I want to get bump pics taken too. When do you ladies think would be best....I think probably to wait closer to full term.

 

[EMTAmanda]

Sorry I have been MIA girls this cold has been horrible!!! We are also trying to buy a bigger house and I found one I love but hubby won't get on the same page so out of frustration I ordered her crib set and changing pad cover today hahaha! I've seriously cried all day between emotions and stress from the house shopping I needed some major retail therapy. Now I feel much more sane...lol!!!

 

[Tournesol]

Amanda, you poor thing! Looking for houses is stressful at the best of times...
Are you getting over your cold now? x

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Changed my insulin this week and my sugars have been awful!!! Ug I hate this!!!!

 

[EMTAmanda]

I am a little tour I still have a lot of congestion but my throat doesn't feel as bad. Hubby and I are going to do another walk through today of the house and hopefully submit an offer. I just wish he would hurry up because I want to decorate the nursery!!!! Lol! I am getting into super nesting mode! I want all her things ready like NOW! Haha I'm loving it!

We are having a meet and greet party for the day after we get home from the birth center so our families can meet baby girl I am so excited I picked out her outfit for that today too! Haha!

 

[padbrat]

Robinson I was thinking about when as well... as I don't want to be hugely pregnant in my piccies and as I am big already I am a bit worried about it.. I am thinking I will have it done beginning of March - so 7 months.

Amanda I am suffering the snot monster with ya... pah... happy house hunting!

Hey Tour and Iluv!

Well after months of denial and not wanting to announce or buy anything I think Hubby has finally accepted he may be a Dad! He is announcing to all who don't know... and has been out spending more money today! We got bedding for the cot, 2 sleep bags, a hooded bath towel and mitt and some sleep suits... He has gone baby shopping mad lol!!!
