October Rainbow Babies!!!

Hey gals...remember me?? Just wanted to pop in and give my congrats to everyone!! Genders scans coming up??

Update on me: All of my tests are normal, waiting on the genetic testing results and am just a week or two away from my second cycle and then trying again!! Hope everyone is having a smooth pregnancy!!!
 
Hey 3x!! Long time no see. Hope you get some answers soon and best of luck with your next cycle! You should come chat to us more :) - not that we say much at the moment lol

Sorry for the lack of updates ladies. It has been insane here. I'm coming up to half yearly exams for medicine and I'm way behind in my study due to the pregnancy and all it's glory.

A big happy mother's day to all of you! We're all Mummies now :)

There's really not much to update you on. Next scan is in 3 weeks tomorrow - we'll confirm if we're having a baby girl then. I'm dying to see her again so I'm considering a private scan which are few and far between here in Australia but I finally found a place. If I don't want photos it's $55 but if I want photos it's $190!!
I had my first hospital midwife appointment but I don't have a mw of my own being the public system. However I do meet my OBS on Thursday which I'm thrilled about because I should have the one obs (not to deliver, but who to see during my pregnancy). I'll quiz him (I requested a certain one, maybe I'll get him) and try to convince him to quickly scan me :p It shouldn't be too hard.

I think I've felt bubs move a few times. It's only occasionally, she hasn't moved today and that makes me sad. I want kicks damnit!!

How's everyone else? Any updates - names, scans, kicks etc.?
 
hey 3x - glad to hear its going well :)

I had my 16week appt...the midwife did blood pressure etc, took bloods and we heard the hb with the doppler :) just waiting for 11th June now for 20 week but they dont tell gender here so that will be at my private scan on 26th June :) yay :D
 
Hey can I get some advice? Since you guys are around the same time as me you would probably know best.

I've had contractions since yesterday. They're less intense today but still come occasionally. I started to feel relieved and stopped panicking, until this ungodly back pain developed. It woke me at 4am, eased, then woke me again and has progressively gotten worse. Anyone else start with back pain around 16-17 weeks? Is this anything to worry about? I went to the ED yesterday for the contractions and was sent home without an examination (ack) so I don't know how my cervix is. I'm sooooo tempted to clean my hands, glove up and have a feel to make sure I'm not dilated.
I'm worried about bubs. Her HB is great and she's moving around; I just can't stand the thought of my body failing her *sigh*
 
i have no advice but i would be straight back to the er and wouldnt leave iuntil they checked me over properly... also, as for the back pain, yes, especially when lying down, sometime i literally cant move...its partly pregnancy, partly my existing arthritis.... sorry i couldnt be more help,good luck!
 
emerald, i had really painful BH in my second pregnancy. I even woke in the middle of the night from pain thinking I was going into labour. I did go to a&e and found out it was just BH, some people just get very painful ones.
If you are not leaking any water like fluid or bleeding, then everything should be fine, x

What did the hospital say was the cause of the contractions?
 
I have been having BH for several weeks and I plan on asking my Dr. about them at my appt on Wed. Some days they get really uncomfortable and the number I get in a day has increased from a couple to 6-10. I have heard as long as they are not painful you should be fine and as long as you don't get 4 or more in an hour. I'll let you know what my Dr. says on Wed! I also get my ultrasound on Wed so we will know soon whether "it" is a boy or a girl!
 
Thanks ladies, I feel much more relieved that I'm not the only one getting them. They've massively eased tonight and the back pain also eased.

They think the contractions may be linked to constipation - the joys of pregnancy eh?
 
Hi 3x! Glad things are going well. Hope the genetic tests come back soon! Glad you'll be back to trying again!

Emerald - I've felt the flutters occasionally, but don't feel them often. Sorta scares me when I don't feel him/her, but I know it's normal. I want the kicks too!! Sorry about the scare! I've had back pain, but nothing excruciating. Hope you get some answers soon!

Islander - Glad your appt went well!!


AFM - We have our big anatomy/gender ultrasound in 11 days! May 25th at 9 a.m. I'm getting way excited for it!! Of course, I've started getting nervous thinking things aren't going well. I don't think that fear will ever leave my mind. Felt little flutters, but nothing regularly. Hope to start feeling him/her more soon!!
 
Hi ladies. I've been creeping the PAL section quite a bit but have only posted once or twice...

I'm pregnant with LO #1 due on October 16th. I had a MC a year ago that brutally scarred my uterus. My doctor said with all of the complications during the passing of the baby, and the complications that followed, I'm not supposed to be able to conceive. My LO is a little miracle. High risk pregnancy, though.

Congrats on your miracle! I think it proves that even Dr.'s don't know everything.
 
Thank you, Twinkie! :)

I had actually believed them and was just planning to adopt eventually. Then our little miracle came unexpected & unplanned... But far from unwelcome.

Congratulations on your rainbow baby! :flow: xx
 
Eloquence- So happy for you and your little miracle!

Emerald- I started having some strong braxton hicks at 15 weeks. I thought that was way too early so I called my doc, he said if I have more than 4 an hour I should call them or if I can't get them to stop by lying down and drinking water. Other than that they said not to worry about them.
 
Oh, and a full bladder or constipation will both increase the contractions.

I'm getting the back pain, it's been so uncomfortable for the last few days, just hoping there's nothing wrong!

Am I the only person on this thread that still hasn't felt a thing?!!!! I can't wait and very jealous you can all feel your LO's!!

Tweak your gender scan is the day after mine!! Mine is next thurs 24th!!
 
Hi all sorry I haven't posted for ages.

Bumpy I have had back ache for 1 couple of weeks now work makes it worse :-(

I have my scan next friday too tweak but mine is at 4pm (d/h is a teacher so needed a late appt so he could come)

I personally have felt baby loads but plenty of people don't feel them until a bit later.

Hope everyone else is ok xx
 
Hi ladies! Sorry it's been a while! Congrats eloquence!

Afm: I havent felt baby either as of yet. Im assuming its due to my anterior placenta. I have my 20 week scan on the 29th (more like 21 weeks). Im very excited to see him again! Ive had bit of lower back pain as well, some vaginal pressure(anyone else feel this?!) Rlp and nausea off and on. I think I might be getting a uti as well ;(

Good luck on scans coming up and hope everyone is doing well!
