ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[sherylb]

Huggles -- I saw in the November thread that you have a scan every appointment. I didn't realize they were charging you for all of those. That's crazyness! I am probably on the side with the girl that is on Medicaid and they will only pay for 1 unless something is wrong. I will hopefully know something soon.

 

[Huggles]

Yip, we don't really get free healthcare here.
We have medical aid, but you pay an arm and a leg for that, so we are on the Hospital Plan option which is the cheapest but they only pay hospital fees, so they will cover the birth and that's it. We pay for everything else. It lands up costing a small fortune! But as long as i get to take my baby home at the end of it I don't really mind. (plus i get to see him/her nice and often )

 

[sarahincanada]

sarah.. im sure the bleeding will go away soon, put your feet up and relax instead of cleaning etc, apparently thats supposed to stop bleeding ? they asked me to do that when i had the hematoma.. so maybe it should help?

hi hunny bunny. yes I decided to take it easy, earlier this morning I felt quite crampy and so went and lay down. we just went for lunch and Im going to go watch tv in bed its such a small amount of blood, very watery so it should dry up soon. I really hope my ovulation will be delayed a bit! this time last month I got a smiley face so we will see tonight

 

[MummyCat]

Hope you're all feeling okay!

Sarah hope the bleeding stops soon!

Baby, tough decision to make... hope it all becomes clear as to which is the best option as you discuss all the finer details together.

Flying, thanks for sharing the pics... they're lovely!! How awesome that you were preggers in them Something you'll remember everytime you see them!

Huggles... lovely numbers hun!

Sheryl, hope the blood work all come back okay! and that you get the medical cover sorted.

NDH, I completely understand why you want to give your body a few more months!! Hope it happens soon!!

NY... hope you're okay hun!


AFM, nothing to report.

I just got my smiley face on my ov test
good news is that I seem to now be regular as its the exact CD day as last month and probably now on a 28 day cycle.
bad news is that I still have a little blood and I dont think hubby will want to try and Im not too enthused either.
means I will definitely not be giving birth this year!
I will probably see how the discharge is in the morning and perhaps attempt one session if very light, but probably wont.
oh well, at least it will mean we will be raring to go and healthy for next cycle.

 

[flyingduster]

Aww Sarah! Bugger you got a smiley face so soon!!! But yay that you're regular... And there's still a chance yet, maybe go and find that syringe... haha! But hey, in the end perhaps next month is *the* month??

Wow, I forget how lucky we are with free public health care, and when pregnant even the regular doctors appointments and everything is free... The only thing I'm having to pay for is the NT check cos it's only done by a private hospital (normal scans are done at the public hospital and are free though) and it's pretty cheap...


Baby, I can't even imagine the turmoil you're going through to try and decide, and the pressure to have to have a decision by a certain day won't be easier either!!! I know you will both go with what is best for you all, and I wish you all the best in whatever happens hun!!!!

I have heard that they can be several days off in the measurements the further along you go. Initially it's pretty much X measurement = Y age, but as they grow more and more, there can be variations a lot. Each bub develops slightly differently, and some develop faster than others; just like when they're out of the womb; some are walking at 10 months, others don't walk until 18 months... Even when soooo tiny, they can start to have a variation of a few days difference, so perhaps your lil one had a growth spurt! haha! At any case, YAY that it's healthy and growing so well!!!!!!!!



Oh! And I finally got a photo of my beanie I knitted! Pleas excuse the horrible photos (I HATE trying to get a photo of myself! I feel so stupid! lol)

(obviously it's taken in the bathroom mirror! Which is old and has a lot of flaws in it, giving the weird speckles on the pic... lol)

this one has better colour but I found it hard to get a better angle showing more beanie:

[Huggles]

cool beanie flying

Sarah, sorry you got the already As you said though, at least you are now regular. Fx'd you do manage to get one session in, but if not, fx next month is the magic month.

 

[babyhopes2323]

oh sarah, sorry about the blood and smiley face at the same time. it can be so annoying.. but hey even if you dont get preggers this month and you do next month.... atleast you will still be pregnant this year even if your not going to give birth this year.. it will be amazing for you i promise.


i hope you get preggers as you want to time it to tell the family. xxx

flying.. thats awesome.. you can knit so well. wow you are skilled. i couldnt knit to save my life, i wouldn't know how to hold the needle even !!

got some friends over for lunch so nothing more to report, except i had some chinese last night it was in the fridge from the night before.. but dont know it was because of that, i only had a very small portion and i was so sick and nauseous but i didnt throw up. couldn't even sleep properly..

dh made some nice chicken, tomato, asparagus onion thing on the hob and gave it to me with some shredded cheese and normally i would have eaten it, but i just ran to open the windows to get the smell out and pushed the bowl away from me saying sorry.. no cant do !

flying.. im still worried about the NT scan and had a bit of an argument with DH over it. told him i cant believe you would want me to test and make a decision !! there is no way in hell im going through a second termination and ive seen my beanie grow and grow from so many scans and i love it too much already to even contemplate anything..

doc said considering my age i would not have an issue, but i dont know why i feel inclined but at the same time i just dont want to do it and cause unnecessary worry because even if he gives me a vague ratio of risk, i will be paranoid until the birth and i dont want to deal with that. id rather just try and relax and enjoy this pregnancy or all my crazy worries and arguments over things is going to affect this child. so ive asked dh to promise me he wont make me go for the scan and i told him i just cant put myself through risking anything as most women who also get a high ratio, end up giving birth to normal babies and ive seen their testimonials.. they say its crazy unnecessary worry for all the additional months to go.

i may speak to my doc about it in the next appointment again about this, but right now, i think ill be a no go for this one. xx

hope everyone else is doing ok. xx

 

[flyingduster]

aww Baby, there is no way anyone can force you to do the NT check if you don't want to hun! I'm still a bit unsure about it too, but I don't think I'll decide until the day! lol!

So sorry you feel sick too! Ugh! It doesn't last forever though... at least it better not! lol

haha, than thanks for the compliments on the knitting! I haven't knitted in ages, I learned as a child and have knitted on and off all my life really. I don't know anything fancy at all, just how to start, stop, make it bigger and smaller! lol!!! All the loops and twists and everything I have no idea about. lol. I could probably figure it out with online tutorials, but I don't care much.

I've found baby bootie patterns now and am trying one out!!!

 

[MummyCat]

Sarah... oh phooey for the smiley face!! I would try not to be too upset about missing this month, your body's gone through a lot... you could probably do with the time to recover! Making your body fit and strong for next cycle! Cos you'll be catching that egg soon!!!

Flying, I love the beanie and great shots hun!!! Very talented indeed... I can't even knit a square properly without dropping a stitch or knitting to tightly.

Baby, Good job for telling Hubby howyou feel, I can't imagine he'd want you to go through what you did last time, so perhaps avoiding the nuchal scan is the best option... to avoid the stress completely! xx

 

[babyhopes2323]

yep, i think it makes sense.. but when youre there and youre at the docs and everything.. and its available you may feel why not.. but then the consequences of having the test also mean youre going to have to bear and put up with all the worries. so maybe i wont, ill control myself from getting it. lol

this evening, hubby and me are going to sit and talk and then reply to that email about the job so im nervous and am hoping we come to a good conclusion in the end. i cant help but imagine what a 16 hour journey might do to my pregnancy. is it safe? how soon am i going to find a doctor so ill be able to know baby is doing ok etc.

lots of ifs and buts but we'll see. flying if i come to oz, then ill make sure DH brings me to NZ for a holiday and then probably get to meet you for all its worth, if you are willing !!! xx

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!!

flying wow I cant believe you made that!! it looks so perfect! and how wonderful you can make some clothes for your beanie, I would love to be able to do that.

babyhopes, I think if you say to your hubby look Im willing to move away from my family and support you wanting this job, so in return please listen to my feelings about this scan and respect that I dont want to do it perhaps he will understand and see its all about compromise. I completely agree with you about the scan when you are not high risk at all. so many people get told bad news and end up with healthy babies so what is the point of all that worry. especially when you would not terminate regardless, theres no point.

afm...well this morning I still have a smiley face and I only have some very lightly tinged cm, so I think we are going to attempt one session later!! and when I say session it will be hubby doing all the work and basically just depositing inside me!!! so it wont be a full attempt but I will feel better Ive done something.

I was so upset last night thinking we had to completely miss this month and Id have to wait another month from now to try, so thats 6 weeks till my next possible bfp, thats too long! I was saying to husband I only have about 20 cycles left until Im 40 and I need 9 months to make the baby. He is totally up for trying the deposit later

 

[sherylb]

I decided against the NT because I have heard more stories about doctors encouraging termination than when the check shows nothing wrong than anything else. Plus I am 25 and have no family history so the doctors office agrees I am low low risk.

Last night I started waking every two hours during the night and had a really hard time sleeping as a result.

 

[Huggles]

Sarah - i hope you get your deposit!

Sheryl - hope you get a better night's sleep tonight

 

[sherylb]

Preethi -- something is wrong with your E-mail account. It is sending me spam. 1 yesterday and another today.

 

[flyingduster]

ohh baby, I hope you can come to a decision together tonight! And yes!!!! I'd LOVE to meet you at last! How amazing would that be!!

Flying is fine when you're pregnant, they only recommend you keep your feet on the ground after 36 weeks, but you'll be waaaaay before then hun, so it's totally safe with a normal pregnancy.


haha Sarah, FX for your lovely deposit and who knows, maybe it'll be exactly what you need and perfect timing....!!! Oooo, I'm excited for you already! haha!



AFM, these headaches are annoying, and ugh, I'm getting up 4+ times in the night to pee again! UGH! But otherwise I'm good. In slight shock that I'm heading quickly towards 12 weeks!??! haha. Having fun getting back into knitting though!


It's my poodles birthday today! I only got her as a 2 year old, but she's 5 now! My [fur] babies are getting older!!! lol

Happy birthday Paris!

(these pics are from last week, the weather is terrible today so doubt I'll get any today! lol)

 

[MummyCat]

Oh Sarah hun.... completely understand! Fingers crossed for later my dear!! At least you've given it a little chance, and then if it's not to be it's not to be for this cycle... but it only takes one

 

[sherylb]

What a beautiful dog! Last night was the first night I got up more than once in the middle of the night to go. I had to get up every 2 hours like clockwork.

 

[MummyCat]

I just saw Sheryls post and thought... dog? what dog?? only to scroll up and see flying and I posted at the same time!

Gorgeous pup!! So beautifully groomed too!

 

[Huggles]

Flying your doggy is gorgeous!
