Oh my good old friend morning sickness has returned to me this morning, how lovely!

Sunshine - I am sure it will happy soon and with the opk's and preseed I'm sure it's not too far away.

Almost - sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hope it passes soon. Not long till your scan! Excited much?

Maz - any sign of your little boy making an appearance? He is definitely holding out on you. Hope you're ok x

MissM - how are you doing? And Emma? Still in my thoughts x

Hope everyone else is doing well. I am ok, feeling very stressed at the moment as having problems with work and others causing problems, my boss has tried to address them but they go on! Slept about 3hrs last night for constant thinking and can feel my blood boiling already! Let's see what today brings! I celebrated my 3+1 bday on Tuesday and my DH treated me and my mum to a spa day was heaven. Looking forward to my growth scan next week - does anyone know if growth scans are any different to normal scans?

 

[almosthere]

Hi Sonia-no clue on the growth scan, but sounds like fun!!! Pooey people at your work are being a pain!!

sunshine my throat feels much better this morning, I thought it would be the same or worse, so a nice surprise.

also, just got home from my 3rd beta for my 6 week mark, woohoo...and yes sonia i am beyond excited for my scan...only 1 week away! I get to trod into work 2 hours late which will be nice lol I also have Monday off, but have to go into the Boston airport for a special flyers program interview, so there goes my day off as it is an hour drive each way, plus the interview time!!! Perhaps I will grab lunch somewhere nice as my mom will be there-i do not like driving in the city!!

maz-any sign of baby soon to come yet?

I am also keeping you and emma in my thoughts mrsm!

Hey,

Thought I'd give an update on my midwife appointment from today at 40+3. She attempted to do the sweep, but although the exterior of my cervix was 1.5 cm dilated, it was stil closed further up so she couldn't get to the membranes to strip them. So that was classed as a failure and won't be bringing labour on for me unfortunately. She did say she could feel his head through it lovely and low though, so at least he's heading in the right direction!

If there's no sudden change and I end up having him over the weekend (which is doubtful!), then she'll try again on Tuesday. If that fails, I'll be booked in for an induction around the 13th, which I'm not looking forward to. On the plus side he would likely end up sharing a birthday with my nephew who will be 3 on the 14th (we've joked about a joint 18th & 21st party!) but the downside is David needs to go back to work that week (possibly the 15th, but def no later than the 17th) so that means he'll not get to spend time with Seth and I'll be stuck at home by myself! Not ideal.

Anyway, enough moaning from me! Sonia, rubbish that your morning sickness came back, I never had any in 1st/2nd tri but I did find that from 30 weeks+, I often felt sick when I got up.

Almost, eek 1 week til scan day, can't wait to see if there is more than 1 cooking in there!

Sunshine, good luck this cycle, hopefully we'll have another bfp on this thread by November (what cycle day are you at now?)

xx

 

[PreshFest]

Aw, Maz! So sorry! I know where you're coming from, though. My daughter wasn't born until 41+2!! I had my membranes swept at 41 weeks and that's what did the trick. So hopefully you can try that again! In the meantime, have some sex, do lots of walking, and I know it sounds nutso, but lie down and completely relax and visualize yourself dilating and going into labor. At this point you need to do whatever it takes, right?! Haha. I did all of those things as they are supposed to be the most effective. But let me tell you..sex at 41 weeks...not fun. As I'm sure you know!!

He will come and he will be here before you know it!! YAY!! Good luck with everything!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Maz, thanks for updating us hun, not good that he couldn't do it but hopefully he will make an appearance soon.

Yes very odd re sickness, felt fine all day so assuming it was a one off, well I hope so!
I've been suffering from a really heavy / crampy left leg today, started in the calf but is more the upper leg now. A colleague tried his best to convince me that I had DVT or a clot! Nice ah? I think it's maybe the on set of sciatica? I keep catching a nerve in my left bum cheek which I can feel when sit funny so wonder if that's pressing on other nerves causing this feeling, it's like when you have a dead leg. Any thoughts? I also have really bad hip bursitis at the moment so thinking that too. Calf isn't hot nor sensitive to touch. X

 

[BabyBumpHope]

Hi girls - just popping in to see how you all are. Wow - almost mega CONGRATULATIONS to you and your hubby! Thats fantastic news. Sunshine - hoping you get your BFP soon. Sending lots of baby dust. Maz - fingers crossed your little man decides to make an appearance soon...

I was induced at 34 weeks as the doctors were concerned about the growth in both twins. They were 4lb 1oz and 4lb 3oz. I was lucky enough that the induction worked and i had normal vaginal deliveries They are going to be 6 weeks on saturday - its hard to believe how quickly time is going. They were in SCBU for 2 and a half weeks before they were strong enough for us to bring them home. Our little boy was really poorly when he was born and ended up on a ventilator. He's like a new baby now - my little miracle

I am going to post my birth story when i get chance (i've constantly got my hands full!!). I'll post some photos when i get chance to upload some too.

Hope you preggie girls are ok too

[BabyBumpHope]

I forgot to say, i had the twins weighed again today and they are now 5lb 12oz and 6lb 3oz - little fatties!

[Soniamillie01]

Congrats hun, lovely to hear from you x

Hi Maz


I hope things move along for you soon, so you get to have hubby around after Seth arrives im sure he will make his appearance soon- aww- i dont know why but Saturday keeps coming to mind as i type this! LOL! Maybe he will arrive Saturday!!!

Afm, I am on cycle day 8 now- planning on starting opks on cd10- oh arrives home cd 15 so fingers crossed all works out! Have the preseed to try too so feeling quite positive this month for some reason We go on holiday Sat week down to Devon so cd16 onwards- maybe it will be good timing with no work stress etc! - I am trying to keep stress low, eat well, drinking lots of water, swimming and trying as much as poss to keep my mind off ttc! may well do the trick!

How is everyone? xxx

 

[almosthere]

babybumphope-congratulations-I was born at 4lbs like your little tots!!!

updated my beta in my siggy-it is looking quite fantastic if I dont say so myself!!!

maz-oh goodness...I am cheering on your labor....come labor come!! lol

sonia-sorry for the odd sickness!

I just saw on a 1st tri thread that someone misscarried at 6 weeks which I am at today but prior to reading the horrid news, I also read that mc rate drops greatly at 6 weeks....is this true?! If so, then happy 6 weeks to me, bring on month 2...eeek!!

and yes only a week until my scan-so excited and already want my big baby bump and to know the sex....roll on december!! lol

 

[Soniamillie01]

Almost, my midwife said to me that on e a viable heart rate has been established on an ultrasound which if having an early one is normally around 6-8 weeks the changes of miscarriage reduced by 90%! I saw the heart beat at 7 weeks on an early scan due to the possible ectopic. Can't wait to hear all about you scan next week, so excited for you - take some tissues and then if you can celebrate with a nice lunch or dinner together

No sickness today. Well not yet anyway! I had a really tough day at work earlier in the week and went into work yesterday and told my boss that it needed sorting or I would be off with stress the next time. All said and done let's hope it doesn't come to that!

 

[almosthere]

Good luck with your work troubles Sonia!

AFM I am so relieved to hear the 90% mc drop sonia! I wonder why we wait until 12 months or later to announce then-perhaps it is even a lower mc rate!!! Now I am tempted to announce at 2 months, LOL. I go in at 7 weeks, so I am sure it will relieve my worries a BUNCH! I then will be released from my wonderful fertility specialist and will go back to see my regular OBGYN to have a 8 week prenatal apt which will not consist of another US since I will have had one a week prior to that.

 

[miss malteser]

Almost, can't wait to hear about your scan this week! It's all so exciting isn't it?!

Maz, I'm not going to ask if there's any news yet because I'm sure you're sick of people asking but good luck!

Sunshine, fx for this month.

Sonia, glad the return of ms was just a blip! The leg problems could well be due to sciatica.

We had an appt with the cardiologists (again!) yesterday with some good news and some not so good. They are starting to notice a slight deterioration with regards to one of the two main problems in her heart. We knew this was going to happen at some point but we were obviously hoping for miracles! But, the deterioration is happening so slowly that we don't have to return for 3 weeks, we can go back to England for Christmas and hopefully they won't need to operate until 6-12 months!! We can't really hope for anything better so we're as happy as we can be at the minute!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi miss m, good to hear from you.

Glad you have some news and like you say some good, some bad. But very good that the deterioration is slow so hopefully she can get even stronger before any necessary op.
I saw the pic on Facebook and she is gorgeous! X

 

[almosthere]

So happy about the good news miss m!!! She is a little fighter!

 

[sunshine82]

Miss M - I'm pleased that you have had good news, she does sound like a little fighter just as almost said above xxx

Afm cd11 been opk'ing with my new cb digi opk kit using fmu as on instructions no smiley yet! I don't want one till at earliest thurs as that's when oh gets home! I am thinking of doing two opk a day from tomorrow so as to not miss any surge- will do fmu as have been but throw in a eve one after work around 5.30pm! They are expensive £30 for 20 pack but will be worth it to see if I'm ov and get a smiley and no guess work!
I've relaxed a lot been doing 20 min meditation at lunchtime and just trying to not stress- that may shorten my cycles?!
Preseed on standby would I need to use that before smiley positive opk or wait until + and then use it- wouldn't have thought it would hurt to use it?

How is everyone doing. I wonder if Maz has any news?

Xxx

 

[almosthere]

good luck with good oving time sunshine! and I would use it 2 or 3 days before you think you will ov, the day of ov, then 2 days after to be safe, lol

 

[Soniamillie01]

No harm in using before x
