GOOOOLD! WOOHOO

Lala- HOW AWESOMEA BABY GIRL!!! SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU. There are so many cute clothes out there forgirls! HOW CUTE! By the way were you happy with your haircut? I was super happywith mine and now I'm just going to let it grow out nicely and then get another just before bug comes...

Marylou- I'mgonna go and play with the urbo next weekend. I have a feeling I'm going tolike it. Do you know if you can get it in any other colours besides black? Ibet that was bub that you felt. I wasexactly like you- thought I felt something and I got so excited but then didntfeel it for a while, but I know it was movement- mothers intuituion . Hope thetime flies for you so that you can see your DH soon

loulla- you knowwhats funny I am actually not feeling my tummy growing I am just taking comfortfrom other people telling me it is growing! But I think I'm overanalysing it! How is your sore throat? Your doctorsounds very thorough and that is so reassuring. Blue mountains soundslovely! Hope its cold so that you canrelax in front of an open fire with a glass of non-alcoholic wine!

Little lion- woohoooofor the spew! Such funny things we cheerabout! Hope your cold has passed. I usedto get waves of nausea and then I figured out it was how my body reacted towhen I was hungry. I went for a scanwith my ob in between my dating and NT scan- I needed that reassurance, I wentat 10 weeks. I think you should bookyour NT soon in case your scan place gets booked out easily

Liltuss- I havehad a bit of restless leg too- my ob recommended caltrate. Oooooh how was thepregnancy massage? Where did you go? Lullaby CD- what a great idea! As I'm not really a great singer

Fairey- Thanksfor the tip for pram warehouse- I'm going to check it out online. LOL to yourDH's reaction to your cramps! I havedone that as well and forced my DH up to rub my leg for me! haha Yeah I am notgoing for the 3D scan pics. Instead I'mgoing to do pregnancy shots with my DH (with our wedding photographer) and thenmy DH will do the most of the newborn shots because he is a photographerhimself

AFM I am prettysure i have been feeling little wriggles inside of me! Nothing that obvious that DH can feel it but Icant wait for him to finally be able to feel it. Its now 4 days till my morphscan, its gone kinda fast and I know I'm going to be super nervous onthursday. DH and I (well mainly me) havedecided not to find out the sex. Want tokeep it as a surprise and something to look forward to at the end. DH has his cricket grand final this weekendand then its a break for a while so we can finally do some proper baby stuff onthe weekend and start getting organised. Also after my morph scan I'm going to buy the cot, change table and pramand also get fitted for a proper maternity bra (havent done that yet)

Also- dopplered it up on Friday and was successful!!YAY! Bug’s heartbeat was at 151 bpm

Hope youre all having a lovely weekend!

Silver....

Hi ladies. After a MMC in December, I finally received our BFP on friday
I'm super happy & nervous...

I've been stalking you ladies since superfruity & little lion left our TTC group.

So I'm literally 4+2 today... I am SUPER fatigued all the time. That's how DH new we were UTD. I keep prodding my boobs to see if they are tender - not yet... They are "fuller" though...

I have made an appt with my OB - she is seeing me at 8 weeks! Seems so far away... This time around when did you first see your OB?

I want to see my GP too, to get blood tests. Did you girls get 2 to see hcg levels?

Sorry for all the Q's! I look forward to being around the next 9 months and getting to know you all.

Xxx

Lala - WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! Congrats !!!!!!

Liltuss - Nawww that is so so sweet of your mum !!!! Hopefully your smoothies will fix those restless legs !!!

Fairey - Ohhhhh pram warehouse at ballarat I had no idea lol that is only an hour from me !!! I drove all the way to Melbourne which is over 2 hrs each way lol... SOOOOOO how was it ??? What prams did you like ??? Oh no I hate the night cramps have you gotten any magnesium ??

Loulla - Will pop a pram report in my AFM section for you ;P

Little Lion - Hope you are feeling better xx I booked in for my NT after I got the all clear at my 8 week scan..

Jlove - YAY for feeling wriggles, that is how mine started to begin with !!! YAY for finding heartbeat I love the doppler !!

Des_Hen - Hi and welcome to the group !!! Yes I was HcG tested weekly and was told the levels as well as given print outs.. I did not see OB (public) but saw my Dr weekly from week 4 - 8 then was handed over to the hospital/midwifes. Sending you super sticky vibes !!!

AFM - Okay my personal pram reviews lol

My favourites -

Bugaboo - Donkey (I adored this pram but well out of my budget)
Bugaboo Bee - LOVE this pram - PRO - Light easy to move, small,has proper suspension, good sized basket. easy to fold up and open, looks good.. CON - Sun shade could be bigger and feels a little flimsy
Mamas & Papas Urbo - Also love this pram - PRO - Joints are all welded and metal, looks good, basket is good size, material feels great, has awesomely large sunshade.. Could see no cons with this however have read many reviews saying that the wheels freeze up.. Also I think the bee is cuter lol

Both the above are reversable

Bebe Reversable - This was my intial fav but once I saw it IT IS huge !!!! If you are after a pram around the size of the striders than this is awesome but far to big for me.. Looks good, massive storage space underneath.. Seat converts to bassinett..
Strider - Once again to large for me but has great wheels could be used for off road as well as onroad
City Jogger/Elite - Small, compact easy to handle but is not reversable also very very light you are not suppose to put any extra weight on handle etc, can tip pram they said.
Phil & Teds - On par with the City Elite.

Okay so just my opions and feedback from the shop..

So I have now narrowed it down to the Urbo or Bee still undecided but lol

[SharkFish]

Hi Ladies,

I've been MIA. I've missed heaps, and don't have time for personals, but will try at some stage in the future to catch up on personals. I have been reading though.

CONGRATULATIONS LALA! How exciting having a girl. Have you started to toss around names yet?

Welcome Des-Hen

Just thought I would update quickly. I had my NT Scan last Thursday. It went well and they can see everything they would hope to see at that stage Technically I was 12w6d, but T1 was measuring 13w1d and T2 was measuring 13w3d. My OB has now brought my EDD forward 3 days to 24 September because of that. He said main reason is if heaven forbid he needs to do something at 24-26 weeks etc, 3 days makes a lot of difference. My twins are Mono-Chorionic Di-Amniotic which means they are sharing a placenta which means C-section. At least I have months to fully get my head around it, but I'm not too worried as long as I get healthy babies at the end.

My next U/S is at 16w and then at 19w and then apparently they'll be fortnightly after that, due to risk of TTTS and IUGR they like to keep a close eye on things apparently!

Glad to hear everyone seems to be well.

My nausea is at it's all time worst so far hence the reason I haven't been around in a while. I'm finding it quite debilitating. I only have actually vomited about every 3rd day or so though.

That's all from me for now. Be back in the next few days to try and catch up

[little lion]

Mrs S, you poor thing. I hope your nausea eases up soon. But you mst be pleased with that NT result.


Des hen welcome! I know the early days are full of anxiety. My GP knew nothing about doing two hcgs (he had heard of it but didn't know what to do with any results) so referred me to my Ob early. Ob ordered the two hcg tests 48 hours apart (4.5 weeks), and did scans at 5.5 and 7 weeks. He understands my need for reassurance.


Mojo I love bugaboo bee too! It seems much more convenient than the more popular chameleon.


Ooh Jlove not long now until your morph scan! I bet you are nervous yet excited.


As for me: I booked in for another scan (purely for reassurance, plus Ob tells me the blob will look better on-screen then) for 9.5 weeks, day before good Friday.

Little Lion, yes many names do get wrecked from teaching! I always loved Grace but now I just cant use it

Hmmmmm reassurance scans, well I was the queen of them I didnt realise though that if you go to a place that doesnt bulk bill and you have more than 2 (excluding NT scan and morph scan) that you have to pay in full as medicare only rebates you for two that arent for anything official iykwim. So I paid like $190 outright for one but the reassurance was worth it. I think I booked my NT scan in once I got the paper work just so I had a date to look forward to. Good to hear you have one booked in before the NT scan.

Sounds like you've got true MS now. it's so gross right, the last thing you feel like is food but you know you'll feel worse if you dont eat. Those cheeky little bumbas making our bodies all different!



Jlove, awwwwww little bubby wriggles and yes I reckon not finding out about the gender would make it so exciting at the birth finding out! Nice you found baby's heartbeat. Will be for news on your morph scan, so soon yay.


A big welcome Des Hen, and congratulations!!! We were seeing an FS and had hCg /P4 monitored but then after you see the heartbeat she said it wasnt necessary to track it anymore. I didnt find a good, official Dr who cared about antenatal care until 14wk, and then had my first midwife app at the hospital at 21wk. My FS looked after me up to before 12wk.


Ooooh thanks for the pram reviews Mojo You can be appointed as our baby products research guru Im going to copy and paste your favourites into our baby list.



Mrs S that is truly wonderful news about your NT scan considering the risks of sharing a placenta etc it looks like both babies are growing well. I have all my fingers and toes crossed that they keep growing well and into the post-premmie weeks. Your MS sounds revolting lol! I'll send you non-nausea thoughts and hope it passes sooner than later.



AFM still recovering from the cold have an annoying cough and sniffles now. Didnt really feel baby wriggle for a couple of days and then he has made up for it today I cant believe I have a half DH, half me growing inside - it really is too astounding to contemplate properly

Hullo chickies,

Des Hen - the fatigue is a good sign. I had sore boobs around about 6ish weeks and it was all over by 8 weeks. Though my M/S didn't crank up until between 8 and 9 weeks. I didn't have the hcg testing (live in a small country town). I had a blood test done when I first went to the doc for confirmation, then didn't have a repeat at all. I was booked in for a dating scan at 8 weeks (purely for reassurance). As far as an OB is concerned, whoever the ob is on call the day I go for labour, is the OB that will deliver my baby. So I see whoever is on at the hospital each time I go for my checkups. Not really very helpful there!
Feel free to dump on us all of your stresses and fears during the first tri... we've all been there and we all know exactly how you feel Again a big congruatluations on your BFP!

Mojo - spectacular list you have there! I personally just do not like the Bee - but I'm for baby shopping so if it's your fave then I say go for it!!
Sorry that I've only just brought up Pram Warehouse - have you checked out the website yet?

Little Lion - Yay on booking another scan! I'm so in love with scans... love seeing our little bubba! (I really want one right now!! My next one is still weeks away!)

Mrs S - You poor thing. I hope your m/s eases up soon. It's horried, isn't it?
That's quite a good scan result. Bubs are so far healthy and growing well. And it sounds like your OB has a good care plan in place for you.

JLove - Yay to finding a heartbeat! Love that little thumping sound. It's the only real proof I have at the moment! (So boring... no movement, no close scans, no sickness any more... gah!)
Score on hubby being a photographer... you'll have the most amazing baby photos!!

Loulla - I love the name Grace I've taught one... she was a pleasure. So the name is still on the list!

AFM - I want some ice cream...

Fairey, Loulla, little lion, TheNewMrsS!!!!

I am so excited for each of you.

It seemed so long ago, didn't it, all that time after the MCs.

Anwyway, I know I'm not meant to be here .... yet but I just wanted to touch base and wish all the very, very best.

I've just started my first cycle of IVF and I know there are no guarantees but wouldn;t it be lovely if I could be here with you ladies this cycle?
