Heart I just got an instinct he is a boy when I looked at your picture!! Otherwise I'm 50/50

 

[daviess3]

I'm half an half the nub is there its at an angle an forked the forked part mainly indicates girl but the angle is more boyish as it's over 30degrees, I think part of skull is girly part is boyish! My skull is same very hard to tell with skull an again with nub at 12 weeks! Can't wait to see! Everyone around me is having girls at moment so maybe ur one of them! As long as its a healthy baby heart we don't mind boy or girl can't believe ur making me wait till thurs! I may have to check in at my 3am toilet stop lol! X

 

[daviess3]

What is my picture showing ladies? On my phone is not showing my pic it's showing something saying shocked!! X

 

[filipenko32]

33 minutes to go to NOT get my otherwise my ivf cycle will be put back another month! been on knicker watch more than Davies through her entire pregnancy today!!!

 

[heart tree]

Don't forget, I'm not going in there for a baby scan. They are looking at my cervix and adenomyosis. So I might not get a peek at all. I'm just hoping they will humor me and take a look. I'll definitely eat some chocolate though!

Davies, I guess I'm not sure I see a nub. I see something kind of small, but not sure if it's a nub. Your picture was so much more obvious. The skull could go either way for me. Who knows! Well, we'll know hopefully tomorrow! Can't wait to see my little bubs regardless of the gender!!!

 

[heart tree]

That's great news Fili! Let's get through the next 33 minutes.

Davies, your picture looks normal to me.

Heart - I hope they take a look while they are looking! I usually don't get a hunch about other peoples baby's and I don't know if it's just because a little girl is what you have been thinking most about but I have been imagining you being mama to a little pink bundle!

Sciatic nerve pain seemed to totally go away today - of course that freaked me out, going to doppler with the hubs when he gets home! but deep down i think everything ok. Headaches have been gone for a few weeks now, but today there is one lingering. Probably more likely that its been too much time at the computer today.

Have a big homework assignment I am really wanting to at least make some progress on tonight but I feel motivation leaving me already and I haven't even started! ha ha

Do any of you have snack suggestions. I am struggling to keep on top of my hunger in between meals and I have exhausted most of my go-to snacks. Yogurt, fruit, granola bars etc Anything quick and easy you have been snacking on that keeps you full in between meals?

 

[justwaiting]

I snack on crackers with spread, not the healthiest but satisfying.

I feel baby in different spots to what I hear the hb but our bubs are getting bigger, Lay your hand across your lower abdomen and thats roughly how big baby is and remember that length doesn't include baby's legs. I generally feel the popping lower down in the middle then I feel rolls higher up and get a hard lumpy spot just left of my belly button.

Jenny that is so so sad. my heart goes out to that family.

Puppy I hope your doing ok.

Is anyone else using or going to use a body pillow? It's hot here so have just been rolling up the doona but it'll cool down soon and I'm gonna need my doona for warmth.

Hi justw! I use this one and love it

Croy- glad your pain went away, my bad round ligament pain i had the night before last night was gone today. If it comes back, try acupuncture! My sciatica hasn't been back since acu.
I eat anything I can find.. Crackers, chips, toast, veggies n fruit, sometimes candy not as healthy as your go to snacks. I get full pretty quickly though.

 

[croydongirl]

Hopeful - Happy Sweet potato week!!

Thanks for the snack tips, I think I just did a crappy job shopping this week. I was so hungry and I didn't make a list, so I just got basics and fresh stuff for a few meals but nothing extra because I wanted to be done and not browse the shelves of the supermarket anymore than I had to. Next week I am making a real list and putting some more snacky things on it!

 

[justwaiting]

Thanks Hopeful, where does OH fit in your bed!!!!

 

[daviess3]

Heart it's scan day!!! So exciting haha fili love u!! 33 mins an knicker checking more than Davies! Love it!! X
Well I woke up at 7 ladies 7!! Can u believe it!!
Got a funny story to share!!!...well try an picture this or don't haha... Last night Im having my normal trouble trying to go to the loo!!... So I'm trying everything rocking leaning forward legs up etc well whilst leaning forward I notice a stray hair!!! A long stray hair!!!! So I have a wise idea of whilst on the toilet I should get my scissors out!!! Bad idea!! Don't try this at home!! I cut myself ladies an now everytime I stand up go to the loo I open the cut!! I have even got a mirror out to see where I cut myself!! So now I do the knicker check with a mirror to check its coming from right place!! It stings a bit!! Only me could do it!! I nearly fell in the bath in shock lol! Does feel wierd seeing blood down there!!

Where's pip haven't seen her about lately? Mayb I just missed her?

Embo Croy how u to? Any more movement? X

 

[filipenko32]

Love you too Davies! ohhh that sounds really painful I didn't even find it funny poor you I found out yesterday that if it's hard to wee (I find it hard when I'm preggo or period is due) then moving your knees out to the side as far as they'll go helps! Not very ladylike or attractive though but who cares!
Afm period still staying away so on track for ivf! If it comes on Thursday that will be perfect!! Bt today is ok too. Feeling a bit more positive about the ivf now...
Heart good luck today x x x

 

[bumpyplease]

so sorry to hear about your friend jen, how awful, my thoughts are with you and her family.

fili - glad that AF stayed away - and that you are on track, im so excited for you!

davies - i admit to laughing, i can just imagine you in all sorts of funny positions! sorry that you cut yourself though, sounds painful. I had a bit of a toilet episode yesterday where i knew i needed to go but i just couldnt get it out (TMI!) I managed to eventually but i felt like i was giving birth! Oh well good practise!!!!

heart - good luck for today, im still sticking with girly, but im sure as long as its healthy you wont mind either way!

AFM - still not feeling overly pregnant! wish some symptoms would pick up as its making me a little anxious! had my last bloods taken this morning and should get the results from Mondays later today. fridays scan cant come soon enough! xx

 

[filipenko32]

Hiya bumps, just to remind you that heart and Davies had intermittent sickness and if you read back you can see how panicked they were. I believe heart even swore shock but that could also have been due to her spending too much time on Andrea's journal! . Friday's scan is going to show a perfect little bumpy-bean for sure!

 

[filipenko32]

The genetic counsellor from the ivf clinic just emailed me back to say that, yes, my one normal loss does mean that that one egg was normal to begin with. Sounds like a stupid question but I really just wanted to know and see it in black and White iykwim?

 

[daviess3]

I no what u mean fili sometimes it makes things easier to take in! Bumpy please don't stress I no u will anyway! But fili is right if I felt normal I didn't no why wtc we doubted everything an felt every movement! Twinge pain just relax I think that I was so paranoid I spent every min on the sofa!! I did nothing an something's worked so far! U will b fine hun xx

 

[bumpyplease]

thanks girls, i just feel SO WELL!!!! Hopefully fridays scan will show a perfect little bumpy-bean (love that fili!!!!!!). I hope you are right!

fili - glad you are feeling reassured, and im sure you have plenty of other wonderful eggs left

 

[3xscharmer]

Fili - yay for af staying away...keeping my fx that it doesn't come until Thurs!

Bumpy - I'm with you...3 days of no sickness...after dry heaving from week 5 to week 6 and then throwing up at 6 weeks and now nothing for 3 whole days, I don't think that's good for me, symptoms disappearing is how some of my miscarriages went and even though it can be normal, I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I just don't know if it's going to work out and for me sometimes the not knowing is the worst part!

 

[puppycat]

Puppy - oh hun sorry to hear that, how come they are putting you on a Iv? Ive been told on my last appointment i had +2 Ketones and week before that +3 but itwas a worry for Diabetes, is that what they think you may have?

3x - Try not to worry too much sweetie - easier said but my symptoms came and went

jen you ok

Hun make sure they check your urine regularly, the ketones are largely due to dehydration, I thought it was your body burning fat stores etc but it's more to do with fluids hence why I was put on a drip. Plus because I have Hyperemesis I just don't have the capacity to get the fluids back up on my own

Thanks ladies Got out about 1.30pm today.

Just got home and my little sister (in her new car and her newly passed test excitement) is coming to get me. She has my baby girl who I have missed more than you can possibly imagine.

So pleased to be out although that's absolutely no reflection on the midwives and nurses who were exceptional and so so lovely. I am going to send them a card and some chocs to say thank you.

So I have had 4 bags of IV fluids, 2 anti sickness injections, a shot of clexane in my tummy, sexy stocking due to lying in bed for nearly 24hrs. BP check (it was getting low given my dehydration and lying in bed).

I am now off out to eat whatever stops still long enough! lmao
