in the beginning i had really scary and disturbing dreams, one terrible one that my baby turned into a doll in its crib :cry: that really freaked me out!
 
Aileen can you not tell your parents not to contact you daily because it is not helping you? it is a stressful time enough and I know parents care but sometimes you just need to be firm and tell them how it is for you. It must be a hard time for you reaching the 36 week mark another milestone to get through and I know you can do it :hugs: just take it 1 hour at a time. I have been looking at presents for Dexter but more things we can put in his garden or on the tree so we have a couple of different baubles.
Are you due to have your baby the same time as Kristin??

Amjon I had a weird dream at the weekend that I got a medical letter about this baby with lots of jargon that I couldn't understand and I was running round trying to find somebody to explain it to me and it was about their heart beat. Felt shattered when I woke up and had to tell hubby about it to get it out of my head :dohh:

I have been being sick a bit more over the last week and it makes me laugh that hubby just sits there and carries on doing what he is doing and the puppy follows me to see if I am ok lol

Nicola is your scan today?? let us know how it goes :hugs:

Kristin 4 days to go :happydance: the 30th is my step daughters due date so could be a busy day for babies being born
 
Yes Tracy, scan day today! Eeeek. Nervous but excited.
4 days kristin! How exciting. :happydance:
 
Amjon I think wired dreams are common in pregnancy just cause we worried all the time about our LOs, hope yours get better:hugs:

Nicola hope your scan goes well, and you get some good scan pics :hugs:

Thanks Tracy, iv tried to speak to them before but they just say they get worried when I don't answer.......which doesn't make sense cause the first people we told when we lost Eoin was my mum and dad, we turned up on their doorstep at 2am cause I couldn't face going home. I suppose that was their worse nightmare though is us turning up like that again and hearing their first grandchild has died. I dunno :shrug: I know it cause they care!
We got a photo bauble of Eoin to put on the tree, have you seen them? We got one with a penguin (which we associate with Eoin), can't wait to put it up beside the star at the top.
I'm going in on Sunday to be induced on Monday so my baby will probably be born a couple days after Kirstens :hugs:
 
update - step daughter has gone into labour early and is on her way to the hospital now she is 4 cm dilated already. I think I have psychic powers as 5 minutes before my husband called me I was debating whether to send Chloe a facebook message asking her if there was any sign of the baby making his appearance. I guess the new member of the family will be here today?? I just hope that my scan on thursday goes well
 
Congrats on your step daughter going into labour! Wishing her and babe all the best!

GL for your scan on Thursday...Remember to have positive thoughts! It will be great Tracy!

Aileen...I know how you feel about everyone calling and asking how I am doing, etc. I haven't told anyone about my induction but I am still getting texts asking how I am feeling, doing, etc. I know people are excited but I want to have a peaceful week of good thoughts and positive envisionment and rest. We will see how that goes. I am not sure about the answer for your parents, maybe just explain to them how you are feeling and they probably will understand. I think everything kind of throws us off right now, as least that is how it is for me as I am extremely sensitive right now! Thinking of you hun!

Can't wait to hear all about your great scan Nicola! So exciting!

Scan went well. Everything looks good, nt 1.9, measuring 2days ahead so 13 weeks today. :happydance:
Placenta isn't looking low lying or near scars at the moment so fingers crossed we won't have the same issues that caused Emily to need to be delivered so early.
How is everyone today?
 
I have migraine today and i'm crampy, had tears yesterday for no logical reason just didn't feel all was ok but am feeling a little happier today, 3 weeks till i get to see bean again seems to be dragging so slowly, i think if i knew my cae plan i would feel better but i don't know whats happening other than when my next scan is.
 
I know how you feel sweet!
Even with all my past obstetric problems, i don't have my first consultant appointment til 27th Dec when i'll be 17 weeks!
It makes me nervous that i don't know the plan for this time!!
Hope your migraine goes away quickly. :hugs:
 
wow Nicola your scan is so clear so glad everything went well.
Sweet I hope you find out your care plan at your next scan.

Nicola I am sure you will find out about your care plan at your next apt just make sure you keep asking them questions you want answers to :-)

my step daugther had her little boy at 3.59am yesterday and I went to see them last night at the hospital and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be which is a good start and I even had a cuddle and gave him a little feed.

Kristin are we on 2 days to go now??

Aileen how are you doing?

my 10 week scan tomorrow and as I have still felt sick today I am feeling confident
 
Well after phoning the hospital because i wassick of waiting to hear something i found out they had put me down as a routine pregnancy! with not seeing the consultant til 20 weeks, spoke with the lovely ladyin medical records and explained that i was told i would get fortnightly scans after my miscarriage last year, i now have a morning scan appointment and an appointment with my consultant on the 18th december :), if she refuses to scan me regularly i will demand i'm moved to a consultant that will.
 
Hi ladies.
Sweet, i'm glad you got it sortrd out. I think you're right, we need to demand the things that will keep us sane!!
Tracy good luck for your scan today! What time is it? Looking forward to happy update later :hugs:
 
Congrats on the great scan Nicola!

Good luck today Tracy! Thinking of you!
 
congratulations Amjon 2 little babies growing inside you how exciting :happydance:

I had my scan today and it seems I have gained a week and am 11 weeks and 2 days so everything is progressing nicely :cloud9:. got a really clear photo and baby was waving at us. Sonographer said heart rate was as it should be so I am beginning to relax a little bit about this pregnancy. Have our dating scan on the 11th December so thats the next milestone.

Kristin I hope you have got your bags packed ready for tomorrow and got some music to take in with you that helps you to relax. I hope everything goes well with the delivery and look forward to you telling us all about it as soon as you can and seeing a photo of your baby :hugs::baby:

Aileen sunday will here before you know it so I hope you are ready to hun. Good luck with everything come and tell us all about it when you can :hugs: :flower:
 
Thank you Tracy! And congrats on the fabulous scan...One milestone down! Way to go!

I am slowly getting my bags packed but am still in disbelief that I will be holding my baby soon. It all seems so unreal. I will update as soon as I can! Thank you all for all of your love and support! I couldn't do this without you~
 
Wow amjon, congratulations!! Twins! Very exciting. :happydance:
