aurora! Metallica!! OMG.. you lucky thing!! have fun.. Nickelback was playing here this past weekend ( my fav band ) and DH refused to take me ;(
g.luck with the midwife

2016 - its so funny how our intuition is so strong sometimes.. I have been having LOTS of boy dreams.. however I have had ONE dream that is was a girl and we named her DreamGirl .. haha.. so my Gut feeling says its a boy.. but dh feels its a girl.. Its so funny every time some1 asks Dh do you want a boy / a girl.. he says I wanted twins both a boy & a girl at the same time..

hello all!! How are you?

Im going to see metallica tomorrow, im so uber excited!!!

Joli, I was not ill with my 2 boys and dreadfully sick for about 18weeks with this one. Altho I dont know the sex yet.

Myhubbty has been so busy revamping our back garden!It looks so nice now I love it!!

Of to see the MW thismorning, looking foreard to hearing legos HB!

Ooh awesome, Aurora! Metallica were my first concert when I was 14, on the tour for the Black Album. They were really amazing. Too bad they haven't put out a decent album in like 15+ years!! Hopefully, they will play some of the older stuff

Hey Ladies - thanks for all the feedback on gender! I guess it just leaves me scratching my head wondering what little precious thing I'm carrying! Anyone know whether it's possible to tell the gender of the baby at your 16 week scan if the baby is in the right position?

I went to my GP today because I've been worried about my severe lower back pain on one side - I have a herneated disc around there, so I thought it might be that...but it's getting to the point where I can't even walk properly. The doc said that she thinks it's my pelvic bones pulling apart to make room for the baby... what I don't understand is that my hips are already really wide, so I'm not sure whether she's right or not. Any of you ladies experience this? The other reason I went to her, is that every time I eat (particularly a big meal), I get a pain/stitch on a small point above my belly button, and I was worrying it was a hernia. Doc said it was my muscles stretching, and that it was likely to get worse. I didn't realise this could happen so early on. But apparently nothing to worry about...!

Anyone feeling down in the dumps? Just don't want to, can't make me, don't feel like it, can't be bothered kinda mood?

I just want to put my jammies back on and go back to bed. Don't help it's been raining for days and is supposed to rain for a few more days.

joli - i can relate to the pain after a huge meal.. Oh man I just get soooooooo uncomfortable.. I have stopped eating a big meal all together, because i guess the stomach & other organs have just moved out of place now & there is not much space to put a huge meal in there.... SO I am hungry every 2 hours now..
My pain is not really in the belly button area.. it is up near my ribs.. actually get this tight full feeling & just feel blah!

 

[2016]

joli...I think it is possible to tell the gender at 16 weeks but a greater chance they get it wrong. Sorry your back has been hurting. Nagging back pain is the worst
How did work take your announcement btw?

Devi....I was loving reading about your LO dancing around the other night. I am so impatient to feel Squiggle but I am sooooo far away from that! Funny you should say about boy/girl twins. I fancied that too! Twin pregnancies are very complicated anyway so I am thrilled with just one right now

MM....Yeah I felt that way too. "General malaise" I called it. Just wanted to stay in bed and sulk. Even DH taking me into town to buy some jewellery for my 30th birthday didn't cheer me up.........until I tried it on of course!

I think we need some more graduates soon. I am tired of being the "new girl"

Ooh awesome, Aurora! Metallica were my first concert when I was 14, on the tour for the Black Album. They were really amazing. Too bad they haven't put out a decent album in like 15+ years!! Hopefully, they will play some of the older stuff

Haha, I guess you disagree re: the "no good albums" bit. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

 

[GossipGirly]

hi ladies got my lappie back, havnt really got much time for chatter these days tho seems to be out and about all the time, not much going on with me anyway, so will be boring updates!

hope ur all well xx

 

[Joli]

Hey Devi - interesting that you talk about the pain around your ribs - the doc did say that the muscle stretch pain would probably increase, and that my ribcage would probably widen as well! ick! Strange this is that I'm pretty tall and I have broad shoulders and a broad frame - I would have thought I'd already be perfectly built for bringing a baby into the world, but this baby I think is gonna be a big one! lol

2016 - thanks for the gender info... I think you're right that they can get it wrong - my boss is having a baby in 8 weeks, and they thought for the longest time that it was going to be a boy and it turns out that it will be a girl! I still can't wait to hear their preliminary thoughts though! The back is awful, I hate to be a moaner, but it's gotten to the point where I can't walk properly because I get shooting pains whenever I put my weight on my right foot. I don't know any good chiro's here...but I do know a good physio, and am contemplating just giving them a ring to see if there's anything they can do! How are you feeling these days - any sickness?

GG - I can't believe that your wedding is just over week away!! How exciting!!!

 

[2016]

Joli....yeah a physio would be good - or how about an osteopath? Just make sure any of them know how to treat pregnant women!

Have been feeling pretty rough every day but not actually being sick like I was last week because I have been trying to graze graze graze. Last night I woke up at 1.30am, 3am, 5am and now at 6.30am feeling awful and needing a pee and I just ate half a ginger biscuit which seemed to keep the nausea from getting out of hand.
Have a few dull pains today but I can't tell if it's growing pains or my bowels begging to move!

 

[MommyMichele]

2016 I hope the others get to join very soon

Bad joke but we'll have girls soon enough...... and boys!

 

[LittleAurora]

Haha, I guess you disagree re: the "no good albums" bit. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

Agreed!

 

[Joli]

Hey 2016 - you must be so exhausted, you poor thing! How's everything at work, does anyone know yet? osteopath... good idea! I gave my GP a call today to see if she will write me a referral, she still doesn't think it's any more than the bones pulling apart, but given that I have prior injury in the area, and given that I can hardly walk, I really don't think I can just ignore this and hope that it goes away (or heaven forbid, get worse!). I can go straight to a specialist here without getting a referral, but then it just makes it difficult to get insurance to reimburse.

 

[Devi#1]

Joli - I hope you get treated for the awful back pain.. I am a 5'3 - so i guess the organs and muscles and bones in my body really need to make space for baby.. but the pain is not that bad & only once in a while..

2016 - ohh.. sorry abt the peeing and the MS .. it happens.. but it is a great sign that squiggle is doing well.. so SMILE.. hhehehe.. I didnt have the best nights sleep myself.. Pandu kept me awake.. for a whole hour..

This morning while i was in bed on my side & rubbing my belly I felt the baby in a lump in the corner - so I told DH "want to feel the baby? " "sure" he says - and then I flipped on my back and OMG my belly was totally wonky.. It was SOOOO high on one side and totally low on the other.. DH & I were so amused.. so Dh kept his hand on the baby and in a few mins baby moved and got comfy in another position.. It was SO strange seeing my belly like that!! I was freaked out for a while.. hehe..

 

[Tinkerbell500]

Joli.... I had a really bad back with my first pregnancy...... Mainly sciatica and I regularly visited an Oesteopath which really helped. My pain started around 14 weeks. Be worth trying a good Oesteopath if the pain is not easing.

I've been having a massive clear out at home here...... Not sure if it's nesting or urge to Spring Clean or maybe a bit of both!!!

 

[hibiscus07]

Hi All-
It sounds like everyone's pregnancy is going swimmingly (except for some obnoxious aches and pains)! Yay!

I finally have some news, though it's nothing that exciting. I just had my 16 week appt with the OB NP this AM. All is well. Was just a quick in and out deal. She showed me the height of my uterus and it looks like it's about an inch or so below my naval. That's higher than I thought! But, it's apparently normal for this time.
I also got the results of my 12 week Early Risk Assessment. Risk of Down Syndrome was 1:2900 and risk of Trisomy 18 is 1:6500. Sounds good to me! She drew my blood for the Alpha-Fetoprotein (sp?), as well, and I'll get those results within a couple of weeks.

Baby's HR was 140-something, so slower than last time, but apparently also OK.

 

[hibiscus07]

Joli: Sorry if I missed this news earlier in the thread, but have you broken your preggers news to your work yet? If so, what was their reaction?

 

[Tinkerbell500]

Hi hibiscus..... Sounds like you had a great appointment today. Congrats!

So when are you all likely to find out gender (if you are wanting to of course!)? Hope you are all well ladies xx

Yeah I told my bosses and 6 work colleagues (we are a small team) right after the scan at 5+5. They were so supportive through both ectopics I thought it was only fair to let them share in the good news for once!
They were all really happy for me and my boss had tears in his eyes and looked like he wanted to hug me! Awwww
So at least they know and are sympathetic to my tiredness, gagging episodes and moodiness. I am trying to be good but I doubt I could have hidden it from them!


Devi.....that is so cute - I want my belly to be lopsided! It is very comforting to know that Squiggle is borrowing my beauty! But I am just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired y'know? Wouldn't trade it for the world but its much harder than I thought it would be...
