Aman- That is wonderful hun! Congrats!! You start working on a nursery soon!!

Mari- They probably just want to call to say "everything is normal" I hate how they don't just leave that on the voice mail they leave, but I guess they now aren't allowed to leave news like that. That happened to me twice this pregnancy after blood tests and scans, like "the doctor want you to call her soon!" Then I freak out and go crazy for days until I reach them to find out everything came back normal!

Xan- Wow good thing you're not due anytime soon, but at least you don't need these things ASAP anyway. You can now focus on buying other things, like cute adorable outfits!

I always keep forgetting what everyone is having so I constantly check the first page! We have a good size group full of wonderful ladies!

Mari, hope to hear that results come back OK!

Just been sat watching my belly move. On its own. That's me now for the rest of my pregnancy, don't need tv, I shall be belly-watching! Am fascinated by it! Might even try to catch it on film.

Thanks ladies I was worrying over nothing. Baby is all good but breech. Lol I fully expect the baby to turn, it's still early. My DS2 was breech until 32 weeks.

 

[xanzaba]

Phew- such a relief Mari!

 

[borr.dg.baby]

psy congrats on your boy! I'm so excited for you!

Boor, would I be right to assume the supplements are basically protein powder and vitamins? I am going to start making myself protein shakes I think, so hopefully I don't get chastised about my weight next visit

Protein shakes are a great idea!

Well, my husband and I are officially homeowners! We closed on our house today...woot woot! Happy cinco de mayo, everyone!

Congratulations!

Mari glad all is good!

Anyone else suffer from PGP? With my daughter I had it badly but only for the last two weeks so I just powered through. This time, pain started at like 8 weeks! It's gotten really bad, and this week I tried acupuncture and it really made a difference! I can do daily tasks without much pain and that means the world! I'm looking for some good stretches and tips to help ease pain, anyone have any tips?

 

[psychochick]

mari: I didn't even know they cared about that so early, I thought they'd check more close to 30 something weeks. Even if the baby is not breech now, the baby could still turn later to become breech.

aman: congrats on the house!

borr: I'm really not sure if what I have occasionally is considered PGP but just last night I was turning in bed and my pelvic area really hurt. But haven't felt anything today. I'm also interested in how this can be alleviated. I actually just did prenatal yoga yesterday morning and did a ton of hip stretching things so you'd think that would help.

 

[hopie2015]

So glad to see all the happy updates! I have more to catch up on here..we have such a busy board. Have had to lay flat since stomach pains have been killing me all day.

Pysch- congrats on the boy and the wonderful measurements on scan!! Hope the stretches help the pains..they sure should.
Mari- soo glad they said everything is great. And I agree with Psych. I didn't know they checked on breech so early. Baby sure has a ton of time to move!
Amant- CONGRATS on the house. How exciting!!

Borr -hopefully someone can suggest some helpful stretches.. I am not sure what helps.

Campn- my dr. told me placenta was too low at 12 wk scan (it moved up at 20) and I am pretty sure she said once it moves up, it doesn't move down.
Ajarv- you look great!

Xan- so great you guys got the furniture already and I need to find that -- toxic free. Three months is perfect delivery time. Maybe I'll try gluten free. Not sure if it is all these carbs doing my stomach in.
The pains feel like the sharpest gas pains. I sure hope it is gone by the morning!

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend~

 

[ajarvis]

Aman congrats on the house!!

Awe thanks mumma I feel blubbery. But last baby so going with it It's so awesome you can see your belly move. That's amazing. I can't wait for that again.

Thanks xan I'm all for buying Canadian made. Where did you buy from if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks hopie!

Speaking of feeling blubbery I just finished a kit kat haha. The joys of being able to indulge in pregnancy!!

 

[mari35racz36]

Psy & Hopie- it is not a big deal. They just couldn't leave the details of my scan on my voicemail. There are usually no more scans scheduled before labour. so since they noticed its breach now, they will scan be again at 32 weeks just to double check. Babies flip around up until the very end. So I'm not worried at all. I was worried when they left me a message yesterday and I had no idea what they wanted to tell me. They honestly could have just told me at my next prenatal. But my doc always calls me even when things are normal. Lol She has been my doc since I was 6 years old. Long time!

 

[campn]

Mari- Typical of doctors lol! The baby will keep turning up and down until like 34 weeks or even beyond that! My doctor with DS would just touch my belly and she would know if baby was head down or not.

Hopie- Thank you hun! I hope it moves up. With DS I had a posterior placenta so this time I'm not sure what to expect at all.

I've been buying a few girl outfits here and there, and DH is like keep the receipts in case it's a boy! And I'm like stop putting doubt into my head!

 

[xanzaba]

Ajarvis- it's a store called Bellini, but not their own brand. Both stores that we went to had predominantly Canadian furniture, and my mom kept saying that people must trust their kids with Canadians I can't remember the name of the brand off hand, but they have a certification called green guard that I was watching for. Also, they have soft close drawers, which I can imagine are priceless when you don't have a free hand.

Hopie- I hope you feel better soon. Avoiding gluten has helped me immensely. I thought all my issues were "normal" for pregnancy, but now I feel a lot better.

 

[ajarvis]

xan I will have to look into that thanks!

 

[Uni tsi]

mari, I was on the edge of my seat reading your original post. I'm so glad everything is actually ok!

aman, yay for having a house. It must be such a huge relief!

 

[x-ginge-x]

It really peeves me how people comment or your situation on here without actually knowing anything and just generally being in a@@! Hmph.

Finally felt baby kicking and doing whatever in there yesterday and saw an external movement too can't wait for LO to be able to feel, he's coming into the 20 week scan with us so he can 'see' baby as I think he may work better with a visual

 

[mrsmax]

Phew Mari. What a relief! Lovely updates ladies. I have nothing new to report apart from bump is much bigger at five months this time than with my first. People keep commenting on how big I am :growl: only three more months of work.

 

[Lallie81]

Great news Mari.

Lovely news on movement Ginge but what happened with someone commenting on your situation? Did I miss something? Hope you're ok

 

[Uni tsi]

Ginge, I just saw the post on the other thread. I couldn't believe she would even post that! I liked your response, I thought you handled it really well.

 

[x-ginge-x]

It's on a thread on second tri, about struggling to bond! She was rather rude! I don't take rude very well as anyone who reads my response will see lol!

 

[Uni tsi]

I thought you chose your words really well in your response to her. I couldn't think of anything left to add, as you'd said it all

 

[campn]

Sometimes I post things fearing what the replies will be like as some ladies don't have much of a filter or just aren't as sensitive to others as they ought to be. I'm a big believer in if you can't say something nice and HELPFUL just don't say anything.

It's not anyone's business to know why you're having kids (??)

Just don't let it bother you, she doesn't know or know anything about you.
