Hi Woyapp - I'm in Canberra too. Looking forward to the hot weekend??
Which hospital are you going to? I'm going to Calvary. We live on the south side but with our first we were in Gungahlin so Calvary was closest and since we had a good experience there and we are familiar with it we decided to go back. It's probably only an extra 10 minutes away.

Hi StrawberryMilk, Not really a fan of hot weather, so unfortunately not looking forward to the weekend! I'm thinking I'll hibernate inside, where it's nice and cool. How about you?

I'll be going to The Canberra Hospital. I live in the Inner South, so it's nice and close. Plus I'm low risk, so no need to go private. As far as I know the new maternity ward at TCH is really good. I have my first antenatal appt. on 3/12, so I should get to have a bit of a look at it.

Nice to know someone else in Canberra is on here

Sorry to hear about your horrible experience Bettinae. Some people really aren't nice. Hope today brings you something must more pleasant.

And KeyGal, I had a look through all the replies, to your post and I agree with others here, some really disgusting stuff was said. I know you probably don't need more opinions, but I agree with everyone who said that this was a two person effort, so both your feelings should be considered. I'd be apalled if my DP decided to go overseas with friends that late into the pregnancy. Especially when it's your first, of course you're worried. Overcautious or not, those are my feelings and I'm the person he's chosen to have a child with.

Hope everyone else is doing well

Also, GOLD!

Yay Silver! I'm always too slow and seem to spend a whole day catching up on the first few pages of these threads.
Finally the wait is (almost) over, I have my NT scan tomorrow, first scan of this pregnancy. A little nervous as the last scan we had was back in August when we miscarried at 6 weeks, but I'm guessing that due to still feeling a bit off most days as well as the fact that I am wearing maternity pants things are progressing.
I am also very nervous about the possibility of multiples, we have them on both sides of the family so there is always a high chance!

Hoping to get a picture from the imaging place so I can announce to work on Friday. I'm surprised that nobody has guessed yet, I really do stick out quite noticeably.

Hope everyone else is starting to feel better, thank god that 3 months is over! Now bring on the swollen ankles and heartburn and leg cramps and stretch marks!!

Ah yeah.. all these reprimanding of irrational, emotional, illogical, precious etc etc.. Many just think abt the DH away bit not the why he is away bit. And being told not to depend on partner / husband as long as deal with things by myself make me wonder what are ppls expectations these days?

Yeah if its work and stuff its unavoidable n I sld accept it. But if its hols and fun I think it can wait. Anyway, at least we are talking abt it not yelling abt it like last week. He is saying he din think it the plan will go ahead anyway cos his friend is too busy. Oct may be a go ahead if I go to parents. Previously hoped for family time together but if he wants hols he can go then since I will have more support. Thanks gals for the support shown here.

Hi Girls!!!

Nervy i know I've been MIA I just can't even describe the work pressure at the moment it's insane but I've grabbed a quick minute to jump on in and say HI

It sure sounds like there is a lot going on in our group I'm sorry everyone seems to be having such a dodgy of time of late

Some great scan news though ladies so that's very positive indeed, Bettinae I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience though what is with people??? Do they not have feelings???

I feel terrible for not keeping up with everyone's news so I'm sorry that I haven't really don't any personals

Does anyone else fall asleep before 9pm each night but then wake up at ridiculous times like 3am unable to go back to sleep because you're stressing about stupid things? Is anyone else feeling like maybe they are the only ones not coping so well with all this stuff when all the pregnant people you see seem to be fine? Anyone else already forget what it was like to function without these crazy thoughts and emotions and on a full nights sleep and without crying A LOT?

Sorry to be depressing

Hope everyone has a good day and I promise I'll try to check in more!

I'm sorry to put a negative post in, but I will be leaving the group. At my scan last Friday (9weeks, 4days) it turned out that my pregnancy stopped developing around 6 weeks. I have been booked in for a d and c tomorrow and coming to terms with all of this that been really hard. I've been off work all week and am an emotional mess.

I wish everyone all the best for the rest of your pregnancies. Take care of yourselves xx

Don't apologise, I'm sorry that you're going through this. I hope you're looking after yourself and have a good support system, it's such as horrible thing to have happen. Good luck with everything in the future and take care.

Sorry that you're feeling so bad LisaM07, I can't relate, I'm managing to sleep like a rock for about 10 hours a night, that is if DP doesn't decide to keep me up by trying to talk to me about his day for hours... I reckon that so many others are having similar experiences though, they just seem normal during the day, and when they ger home is when it's hard. So don't feel alone.

So sorry to hear, please take care if yourself xx

I'm most scared of this happening at my 12 wknd scan (i'm 9 weeks 3 days)... Early pregnancy is just a big waiting and worrying game

I'm sorry Woyapp, but I had to laugh at your comment about if DP doesn't decide to keep you up. As I had the same thing the other night with my DP who had been pottering about on his laptop in the lounge room with me without saying a word and then as soon as we go to bed and i'm almost comatose, he starts talking. I very quickly shut that conversation down!!

To aleksandrap. Not sure if you'll come back to read this. But I agree with Woyapp, there is no need to apologise to anyone. Just take care of yourself!

Unfortunately, I've also come in with some bad news.
I had some cramping on Friday, and started bleeding Sat night. After ultrasounds at ED, we were told that bub was measuring about 8 weeks, when it should have been 11.5, and tere was no heartbeat. We went home to wait. Sunday night the pain started, and I got no sleep. I decided I couldn't handle the pain and waiting around, so had a D & C Monday arvo. We are heartbroken, but have been given the go ahead to start TTC whenever we're ready, so hoping for a BFP very soon.
Good luck to you all for the rest of your pregancies, and enjoy every minute. xx
