So I guess this is my first Nine Month Wait...

[wannabeamom]

hey ladies!!!! well mw went well, heard the babies heartbeat!! woo hoo!!! was around 153-157 kept changing! after much determination not to have the tests done both mw and dh persuaded me to have the blood test done to find out what the risks are but i made it clear that i would not be having th amnio if it came back high!!

 

[wannabeamom]

oh also she gave me some anti sickness drugs so gonna give them a go fed up of being sick now x

 

[Csunshine013]

I don't blame you for not wanting tests! I have made the decision not to have them this time. Have decided that God only give us what we can handle and if he so chooses me to have a special needs child then so be it.

The heartbeat is very strong WOOOO HOOOO! When is your next scan?

Yeah for sickness tablets!

 

[wannabeamom]

my thoughts exactly sunshine!!!

my next scan is the 1st feb cant wait for it so excited!!

how long till your scan?

very unsure waht to do about the tablets...so scared to take them even though she assured me the baby will be fine if i do...but also very fed up of being sick

xx

 

[dmn1156]

wannabe that is a good heart rate cantwait for your scan i bet are you going to find out what your having

csunshine very true i had the blood tests done but nothing else they came back low so never needed anything else

Well i have been trying out sdbl advice lol i think lo nearly moved so going to try again later i can barely walk tonight lol i would love to know exactly where the feet are as i feel movements in the strangest places lol

Wannabeamom I have them to diclectine and they are super safe to take been used for decades so if you're sick take them. I didn't find they worked for me though. Speaking of ms dare I say I think mine is lessening? I have the odd quick wave in the am when brushing teeth then when smells get to me but haven't really been to nauseous since christmas day. I am 9 weeks and thought I would have it at least till week 10. Oh well I'll take it. I find I am having more energy to. I just made some rice krispies! Can't wait till they cool so I can eat one.

Heard lil nemos HB again today (might have mentioned this if I did sorry lol to lazy to go back and check) it was about 175 bpm and much easier to hear although volume was still up all the way. In a weeks time I bet I won't need it up all the way.

 

[wannabeamom]

dmn def gonna see if they can tell us if its a boy or girl...although i really want a boy i think its a girl and have thought that since day 1 so will be really shocked if its a boy!!

kelly the ones which she has given me are stemetil have you heard of those ones?

xxx

 

[dmn1156]

wannabe i was convinced i was having a boy but got a girl hope it goes the same for you

 

[SDBL23]

DMN good luck on those positions, the one leaning forward on a table is the easiest, I hope that it works for you, if you keep trying it she should eventually flip or at least get the hint and move a little bit. Even if you just get some relief while your doing it.

wannabe: we had the tests one for cystic fibrosis carrier and the sequential screening, mainly because here we get a 13 week scan with it. For me being a nurse, I feel like whatever the outcome I HAVE to be prepared, maybe thats not nurse,maybe thats just me, lol!

Kelly: I saw your previous pic in your journal, you're super tiny to begin with, you probably won't get "huge" but you will be all baby and belly!!! You'll have one of the cute envious bellys.

Afm: Super sick yesterday, I noticed the day before my ear filling up again with fluid, I can hear it crackle and pop and it tore me up. My ear was hurting, my head hurt, everytime I moved the room would just swim and spin, spent almost the entire day in bed trying not to look around or even move. Made sure I slept on the opposite side to hopefully drain and am feeling better this am! I'm still losing a little weight, it will turn around, but honestly, I'm not feeling all that bad about losing the weight right now, lol!

hope you ladies have a wonderful day

 

[dmn1156]

SDBL sorry your not feeling great hope you feel better soon im still trying the positions as much as i can im not sure what baby is doing but today has been agony walking and moving and had a bad night too the pain is on my left side right under my stomach and also in my right side of my groin but it can be agony walking so hopefully midwife will offer some help as i cant do this for the next 17 weeks lol

 

[Csunshine013]

dmn hope the pain subsides!

Kelly woo hoo on the HB!

wannabe do what's right for you!

sdbl hope you get to feeling better!

6 days until my scan! I am getting so excited! I have no energy these days though. DH cleaned out my kitchen cabinets for me to go through as he hung the new ones on the wall and I haven't had the energy to do it. I was wide awake again at 1am this morning but did manage to get back to sleep around 3 or 4 am this morning. I had to be back up by 7am for work so ready to

 

[Kelly9]

I had the worst nights sleep last night.
Wannabe I haven't heard of those ones sorry.
SDBL hope you feel better it doesn't sound like fun. I am reluctant to think my ms is going away but really it's been much better then the last couple of weeks.
DMN is there anyway the midwife would be able to turn the baby? You poor thing I couldn't imagine going through that and hopefully I won't have to.
csunshine, yay for cabinets. I find it hard to motivate myself to do anything to but then I complain I am bored. Catch 22 I guess. Hearing the heart beat again was awesome, very reassuring. I won't try again now till 9+4 then 10 weeks. I just want it to get louder so I can record a proper audio file of it.

Csunshine hope you get some good rest today - they do say if you dont rest alot then MS can be worse... and stop skipping your lunch, eat damn it!!

DMN - so sorry you are in that much pain, try that thing again to get her to move but if you are still in pain afterwards I would definitely call the dr... You cant be putting this much stress on your body yet, you still have the delivery to go thru, lol.. --- Yes we are going to find out if i have a babes with a pee pee or no pee pee on jan 15th sooooo excited!!

Wannabe - yay for the heartbeat, how cool... Cant wait to see scan photos....

SDBL - hope you start to feel better honey, ear aches SUCK!!!!!!!

Kelly - yay for another heartbeat - I did also notice that the older the baby got the easier it was to hear on the doppler... and the easy to find too... I also had to start off with my doppler on the highest volume... but not anymore...

Sorry if I missed anyone.... Hugs to all....

Im doing okay - baby has been moving all day long, so funny... Ive been at work stressing trying to train a new girl that I dont think is going to work out.. I need an assistant in place and trained by Feb - I jsut dont know how Im going to do it and never mind the stress Im going to feel when I go out on maternity leave... uuuugh.. I called DH crying this morning on the phone because of my frustrations... It really sucks to have all of this responsibility on my shoulders and feel like Im stuck here and its not even my company, I make the same damn paycheck everyweek doesnt matter if sales are up or not... I just wanted to scream.. But I cried instead.. So been kind of getting depressed a bit.. blah...

 

[Csunshine013]

I try and eat, and I even eat breakfast as I didn't used to eat any before. I have really bad heartburn atm (.)(.)'s are extremely tender today and I have a bit of a headache! I think that's from not sleeping very well though. I can't wait to go home only an hour and forty-five minutes left of work!


Totally know how stressful the job can be. I am not going to tell my boss until after March I will be 20wks the first week of April so might do it then I go on vacation in May for 10 days so don't want her to tell me I can't go cause I'm taking maturnity leave in 3 months from then! Hope your stress subsides!

 

[wannabeamom]

hi girls!!
melsue try not to stress too much and let all the tears out a good cry always makes me feel better!!

tried the tablets yesterday and today and i havent been sick yet..but...been feeling even worse than i normally do!! been feeling soooo sick all day i normally feel like this the am sick and feel better for a bit but instead just been feeling rotten so might stop taking them if they dont make me feel better soon. lost another 2 lb so thats 8lb in total since becoming pregnant, the midwife has assured me that the baby will be fine xxx

 

[westbrja]

Yay for third box today It seems like yesterday we were saying "Yay for O" . I told DB that we moved out of the "alienish" stage and into the "baby" stage .
I didn't sleep well last night so I got up and came into work a couple hours early. We aren't doing much for New Years but at least I'll be home. What's everyone elses plans for tonight? I know we'll all be sober lol. I was thinking of having a sip of a toast but probably won't.

 

[dmn1156]

so much to read lol

melsue try to not stress too much hard tho it is your scan is on my birthday lol cant wait to see your pics

kelly glad your feeling a little better

csunshine all good signs for you and your scan is just around the corner woohoo

wannabe if the midwife has given them then im sure they are perfectly fine it is just a case of seeing which is worse hope it eases up for you soon mine stayed with me till 18 weeks hopefully it will go soon

west woo hoo for a new box i love seeing my ticker go up

afm im not sleeping good at the mo the pain always wakes me up and im back togoing to the toilet 2 or 3 times in the night i have to say this pregnancy has had more downs than ups so far but it will all be worth it im sure. I dont know if they can turn her at this stage but i amdefinitly going to beasking the dr and midwife when i see them next hopefully they will be able to do something to help

hope your all doing ok today

 

[Csunshine013]

west we aren't doing anything this evening and tbh we'll probably be in bed around 10:30 we will watch the ball drop in New York and be ok lets go to bed. LOLDD is so excited to stay up until midnight I don't know if I can make it

dmn I sure hope they can help you soon! You should be able to enjoy this part of the pg not be in pain!

wannab don't worry about you loosing weight as the baby takes what it needs from you before you get anything. Try to stay hydrated and hope you get feeling better soon!

afm not much going on but have made it another day! WOOO HOOO only 5 sleeps until my scan! I can't wait.

Hope the rest of you lovely ladies are doing well!

 

[shawnie]

Good morning ladies.

Dmn, have you thought of using a support band? Im not talking about those little ones lol it looks like a super heavy duty back support but for pregnant ladies lol When I have lower pelvic pains standing I just wear mine and it helps alot. Here is kinda what im talking about. Mines a little different but not by much, so you have an idea what im talking about.. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh heartburn, lol I get it often too. I try and avoid the fun foods that trigger it which helps alot. I've had to prop myself up a little when in bed to avoid getting it too. Tums and ice milk are my best friend right now heehee

 

[Melsue129]

Hey ladies... Happy New Year!!!!

Wannabe - sorry you are still feeling icky, maybe the meds need to build up a little in your system before they are going to be really help... Dont worry Im sure if the midwife said they are fine for the baby then they are, dont worry..

DMN - tell your DH he needs to hang you from your feet tonight in the door way, sleep like a bat and maybe that will lessen the pain... hee hee.... Kidding but kind of funny, no?

Shawnie sounds like you are doing okay... Big Hello!!

Csushine - yay for another day down!!! the scans getting closer and closer.... Yay!!!

West - yay for the baby stage, its really exciting!!!! Woo Hoo....

Hope everyone has a great night... We just got a few inches of snow here left work early so Im home and Im going to stay here, a few friends coming over for appetizers tonight, fun fun.... I'll be sober of course... hahahahahah....
