hi and hugs to all.

i had my hosp app today, all is well thank god.
i was nearly 6 hrs waiting in the hosp, they were manic!!!!! my back is in bits from the stupid chairs, when i was lucky enough to get one, had to stand sometimes to wait.
when i got to see the doc (they do mini scan in office), she thought bub was maybe too big, maybe signal of a problem. so she had me sent for detailed scan to check.
bub is fine just big he/she is now only one ounce off 4 pounds at 30 weeks, they r meant to put on a half pound every week from now on, so um........ big buster
at that calc another 10 weeks would be 9 pound baby. makes sense though cos i was 9 2 and my OH was 9 10. silly us both being tall and broad
least alls well anyway
im shattered now , had an hours drive to hosp, nearly 6 hrs in hosp.
1.5 hr drive to my docs office ( they were closed but were supposed to leave forms out for me) , only to find no forms!!!!!!! drove an extra hour ish to get um and they r not there , was so mad i started crying. fine again now im home

hope ye r all well xxxx

babybemine near testing, fx for u xx

Full day! Yay for healthy bubs and hope you get some rest!

 

[Smiler82]

Oh Lilesmom what a ridiculous day!! I'm not surprised you ended up in tears!! So much driving and waiting around, unbelievable

But great that all is ok with baby 9 pounder - woo! Big babies run in our family too so am a little scared haha.

Think I'll have to start piling up the pillows too, slept so badly last night. And it's so cold, I hate it. Am starting to find it a bit depressing tbh...but then we saw on the news last night how badly some people up north and in Ireland have been affected so I shouldn't grumble, what we've got is nothing in comparison. But I am tempted to move to Spain

In the reviews I read of hypnobirthing - and if you look on here in the natural parenting section some ladies who did it post their birth stories - a lot of ppl do say they slept through the cds and thought it wouldn't really work but when the day came it was just all there in their minds and worked really well.

Mommylov how is everything with you? Any side effects this cycle?

xx

Hi Smiler! This round, seems like the hotflashes are a bit more intense. Waking up in the middle of the night a lot because of it but other than that, Im good! How are you doing?


Hope everyone is ok!

[mommylov]

Hi girls!

So happy to hear that your blood came back ok Laura. Boo that they dont do the test you thought that did but glad that you dont have it.

Smiler, How are you doing hun?

:wave: to everyone!

AFM~ Clomid this cycle must be REALLY working because I feel like I have way more side effects. Did that happen to you Smiler? This is my 3rd round. 1st round I took 50mg, 2nd was 100, and this round was 100 again. Im wondering if this means that its really in my system now. I have had the worst headache for the past two days. One of the ladies at work was nice enough to give me some lavender oil to put on my temples which really helped. I didnt want to take any meds so I thought that the lavender was a safer choice. Hope I was right I am at work today but the only reason why I came in was because I had my last dose of Clomid at work that I needed to take. I told myself that if I didnt feel well by the end of the day, then I will go home.

 

[Smiler82]

Aw Mommylov sorry to hear you've been feeling rotten! But it is a good sign it's working. I was very lucky and didn't get lots of symptoms with clomid, hot flushes at night and headaches were pretty much it. However, I didn't get any symptoms with 50mg it was only when they increased the dose that I started to really feel it so FX it is a good sign

Lilesmom glad your tests came back ok Sorry to be dim but what is Parvo again? I know you have mentioned it before but my memory is pretty shocking!

AFM been feeling a little emotional today, not sure if is just the hormones but someone else I know just had a miscarriage and I do get so sad when I hear about these things Bubs has been a little quiet recently too which has been worrying me but I posted a thread and I think it is pretty normal at this stage. I've felt him/her a little more today which is good but the worrying never ends!

 

[lilesMom]

amy hope u feel better hon xxxxxxxx

smiler god thats understandable that u be sad when u hear bad news again xxx
we feel it more cos we know how bad it hurts xx
parvo is same as slapped cheek virus hon, not dangerous to babies or kids or adults just to unborn baby and more so under 20 weeks .

no news with me xxxxxxxxxx

 

[lilesMom]

oh and smiler, it is totally normal to not have regular movement at ur stage x
does worry u though

 

[mommylov]

Hi girls! Feeling MUCH better today. So glad that I went home yesterday. I came into work thinking that I would feel better as the day went but that just didnt happen. Come 11am, I couldnt take it anymore and left. I went home, ate, took a nice LONG bath, then showered (I always have to shower after a bath, lol) then lay in bed and fell asleep by around 2-3. Then DH woke me up at 8 to eat and take my pills and then I went back to sleep. Still woke up a few times from hotflashes but feel SO much better!

Smiler, I was the same as you! When I took the 50mg I didnt feel anything. Then I took 100mg and I started getting the hotflashes and MAYBE a dull headache but nothing that I can remember so it couldnt have been that bad. But this time... wowza! Hot flashes galore since cd3 to date and headache for almost the last 3 days. So Im hoping that since it was a great sign for you since you got pregnant that 3rd cycle, that the same will happen for me... FX!! Im sorry you are feeling emotional hun Im sure that its in part from hormones but I think hearing about others mc also could bring back that feeling you had when it happened to you. No one better understands than those that have gone through it themselves so Im sure your heart aches just thinking about it. I hope that you feel better hun

Hi Laura!!!!

:wave: to everyone and hope all is well!

 

[babybemine]

Still awaiting my AF. Should come today. Been really tired. Sleeping alot. A bit emotional. BB's still big. No real cramping just feeling achey. Been dreaming alot. Cats clinging to me. Still adjusting to moving into the new house. Feel like I am leaking but it is not AF. Know I should test again but hate to test and get BFN only for AF to come the next day. Not sure how long I will hold out for though.

 

[mommylov]

I hope that it isnt AF babybemine. If af doesnt come by tomorrow, are you going to test again?

 

[babybemine]

I suppose at this point if i get bored enough i will test. It should not matter if it is FMU

 

[mommylov]

I wouldnt think so. TBH, I remember getting a bfn with FMU the first time I got pregnant and got a bfp that afternoon.

 

[lilesMom]

fx for u babybemine xxxxxxxxxxx
hi and hugs to all xxxxx

 

[babybemine]

[mommylov]

[lilesMom]

[babybemine]

blood test done to make sure I am not prego and then starting this femara again. wearing pads this cycle...read something that says the tampons Increase infertility. easy enough to try. boy is it a weird feeling though.

 

[lilesMom]
