Hi ladies

Hope you all had a good weekend! Hann, I agree, it's over all to quickly.

I have a quick question for you all: is anyone else planning on travelling overseas at any point in the near future?

I was supposed to go out to Mallorca with my family for NYE but lost my nerve as I wasn’t at the 6 month mark in case something went wrong etc and I wasn't able to get anywhere quickly enough to be seen (different system etc etc). Sounds really dumb but it has been a tough year last year even being able to get pregnant and I’m so lucky to have even got there and obviously don't want to make decisions that may jeopardise it…

I’m now at 26wks+4 and thinking about going out there for a week when I’m at 29wk+4. I thought I’d be feeling more comfortable but now I’m not sure just in case something went wrong while I was there and I’d obviously have to rely on a medical team that know nothing about me (and in what would clearly be an emergency situation with a preterm baby).

Am I losing my mind by being paranoid? I know it would really do me good to go as all the fertility treatment last year meant the last time I was able to go on holiday was April and I’m gagging for anything that even hints at a bit of sun. If I don’t go in a few weeks then it’s going to be at least July/August before I will be able to go again.

Logically and objectively I know its unlikely that anything would kick off while I was over there but it's the "what if" that's making it hard to decide!

Morning ladies!!

I know how you feel about the second tri boards cupcake...i tend to read between second and third tri boards now,but don't really feel a lot of it is relevant to me yet! Lovely tissue box by the way!

Woo hoo! Less than 99days to go now jtink! Its so exciting isn't it?!

I bet that was so exciting to feel hiccups ttc...im still not certain I've felt any,but there are times when I feel regular little thud type feelings every couple of seconds that I can predict...i just don't know what hes doing in there most of the time!haha!

Hope all ladies see doing well today!

I was allowed home from the hospital on Saturday! Yay! The hospital said they'd phone me and get me back in if the tests showed anything up,so I guess no news is good news! I don't seem to have had any spotting since,so im thankful for that...though I had bad morning sickness and vomiting this morning,which im not so thankful for! Lol

I'm just trying to take things a little more easily now...my mom has irritated me slightly though lately...apparently she doesn't think I can last till full term because my body isn't very well designed to carry babies...WTH? don't think I was too impressed with that comment! She's also started badgering me to find out if we will get him christened soon after birth and who id have as godparents...i told her,yes we will,but she didn't like my choice of godparent because I hadn't chosen my sisters (another member of family is much more stable to look after Jenson the way we would like him to if something were to happen) so apparently its "not worth having a christening because its causing too much trouble and will upset too many people"...PAH!
 
Hi Lp

So pleased to hear that you are feeling better and got released!Let's hope that nothing comes back on the testing.

Try to go easy on your Mum, I'm sure she just meant it out of concern rather than anything else. As soon as I have any tweaks or twinges my Mum is beside herself so it could be that yours has just been so worried about you having been unwell etc :hugs:

I wouldn't worry about the godparent part: godparents aren't legal guardians of your child (you name who you want in your will in case anything terrible were ever to happen) so don't let that put you off your sister if you want her!

i know what you mean about the boards not being relevant anymore, i found this pregnancy i have barely strayed onto them. we knew from the off we were team yellow again, so the gender threads have no interest to me.


i'm feeling so drained this morning was hoping to get more packing done but instead thinking i'm going to have a nap lol.

Hubby is off today so he can do the nursery drop off, then we need to paint our bedroom, get boxes out of the loft and pick up the conservatory and hall way! i'm sick of the sight of boxes.


on the plus side looking forward to meeting my new midwife next week
 
thanks for the advice jtink...I understand what you mean about my mom just being worried,and you've helped me see it from a different point of view :) I think I've just been feeling a bit like my body hasn't coped well with what its meant to do, so I think I naturally get a little defensive when innocent comments like those from my mom are made...I think ill understand the mindset of a mom once im a mom myself!

As for going on holiday,I say go for it! Check holiday insurance before you go to make sure you'll be covered and,if needed,grab a medical note from your doctor/midwife confirming that you are safe to fly...theres nothing more I would love than a relaxing holiday right now! Make the most of it!x
 
Jules- were leaving on Tuesday. And the country were going to is really 3rd world, so if anything happens, I'll need to be medi-vacced to the USA. I'll be 26 weeks, and I think is going to be just fine. I tried on my vacation clothes last night, and I just can't believe how pregnant I look. I feel 36 weeks instead of 25 weeks, and I seriously wish I was. I can't wait to start losing this weight.
Hann - so happy DD is feeling better.
LP- so happy you are doing better. So sorry to hear about your mom. Mine has been terrible the last 5 weeks. I just think they forget what it's like to be pregnant. I wish they would spend the time we do trying to put themselves in our shoes.
Cute case cupcake!
Mayhem- I can't even imagine how hard moving must be. I hope it's over soon!
 
Happy 3rd tri Courtney!!! I reach it on Saturday, and I can't wait!

Gosh, this trying to find a way to earn money during pregnancy is hard! How hard can it be to not want to sit on my ass and do something productive?! University is still being an idiot with tossing me back and forth and not giving me a definitive answer on whether my loans will get stopped or not...ARGHH! lol x
 
jules, on feb. 7th, i'm flying from chicago to my hometown of san diego (about 2,000 miles) to see my parents and attend my baby shower. my doc said all should be fine. i've located the nearest, best hospitals with a nicu (neonatal intensive care unit) just in case something happens while i'm in town.
i'm a tiny bit nervous, but i know that thousands of pregnant women fly every day with no problems. i think my biggest worry is carrying around my luggage by myself :)
 
Thanks jtink. I think if I was flying but staying in the UK I'd feel ok, it's more the country change that's the issue for me and the different medical systems. Funnily enough the only place I WOULD be comfortable travelling to is the US as I'm happy with the care system over there and I know the drill.

My parents were worried about the luggage bit too but I was going to stick my belly out, announce i was pregnant to the biggest guy next to me and ask him to pick it up! lol x
 
haha, very true. i am going to take a cab to the airport, and when i get there, just try and look as pregnant as possible so i can get someone to help me :)

i would be nervous going out of country, too, but i'm sure you'll be just fine. everything makes me nervous nowadays, no matter how logical it is.
 
i have a feeling that i'm going to be on pins and needles all day today. i get the results of the GD test, and they doctors told me they'd call if i failed, and wouldn't call if i passed. so i'm staring at my cell phone at work, praying it doesn't ring. haha!

Click to expand...
Yeah, I'm starting to feel a bit that way myself!
 
I cant believe I only have 3 months to go my due date is may 12 but I will be having him first week of May which makes it even closer and I haven't even really shopped yet lol
 
jtink.... That's just wrong of them. I'm sorry, but they should call either way that way you don't spend all day waiting on HOPEFULLY no news!!!!

pinktiara.... I kinda went into panic mode over the weekend when I realized I'll be 28 weeks this Friday. At 32 weeks they won't stop labor if it starts as they say Mason will be fine with a little assistance breathing! That's 4 WEEKS AWAY??? Where the heck did the time go???
 
I didn't know that about 32 weeks! That is scary!!

So ladies. Hopefully in the next week or two Bee's bedroom will all be done.

So when do I actually start preparing? Like washing and packing bags and stuff like that?

I was thinking maybe 30 weeks? Or is that far too early and stuff will need re-washed?
 
I don't know that at 32 weeks that would happen here or not cupcake, either way hopefully none of them will be coming out before 37 weeks!

I'm not bothering with doing my bag until at least 35 weeks, maybe not until 37. If I go into labour before which is a slim to none chance, I'll just grab the things I need. I don't think I need much so not bothering this time with the huge lists they all have on the websites. I did the first time so I can understand if you do but I barely got anything out if the bag the first time and not expecting this to be any different. DH can go and fetch stuff if I need it but FX not!

Jules - I'd do it if I was you, it's not too far and I'm sure you'll be fine. It would be good to have a break and relax before the mayhem of a newborn. I wish I had been able to but had a low lying placenta otherwise I def would have x
 
Oh, I'm so excited.... FedEx just dropped our crib off at the house!!! I can't wait to get home & get it all set up. I'm sure it won't be tonight as we have the step-kiddos, but I'm soooo ready!!!
 
Thanks Hann :)

Maybe great news on the crib. :) We are sidecarring ours so it'll probably be the last thing we do as I don't want to have to climb around it for ages. Maybe do it at 37 weeks or so.

But we have just moved all the stuff out of her room and DH is washing the walls so we can start painting!! Yaaaaay!!
 
whew, passed my 2 hour test! yay!

my doctor told me that they wouldn't stop labor at 36 weeks, but would stop it before. i don't know - maybe it differs with location and doctor?
