Emmsy's Weebles -let theTTC to new arrivals support continue onwards and upwards!

barbie I googled on your behalf and read the exact same thing about c-sections not being needed. Sounds like you are in good hands over there. This is def an extra thing you didn't need, but concentrating on the baby is def the best thing. xxxx

mermaid thanks xx

Hi Barbie. Glad you're feeling a bit calmer and your lovely DH sounds like a sensible sort.
They'll monitor you through the birth and won't let you do anything dangerous so try not to worry and get back to focusing on your breathing.
Take care and try to get some sleep.

hello...sorry for not getting back sooner. Dh took me out for a ice cream to keep my mind off things.

I havent gotten around to telling anyone yet, not even my family....want to get my head around things so that i dont break down and upset them, so please if any of you are on fb please dont mention anything? I know you wont but my sister and my mum as you might have already noticed comment on everything that is written!

So to fill you in....its something like this.

The 4 chambers of the heart should all have a thin wall in between them, however on the top two of my chambers there is a gap, resulting in the blood not flowing through in the direction it should...hence the palputions. I can have keyhole surgery where a disc is inserted to fill the gap...thats all i know right now. I didnt want to go into detail without dh there so have made another appointment in a month after lo arrives. Dh is calm and has googled and decided its not a major thing

The main concern now is the labour....my body has never been through this and therefore they dont know what will happen to my heart, whether it will put a lot of pressure on it. The have decided to montior throughout which mean i cant be so mobile...no big deal i suppose?
I did ask if i should have a c section but they said no need as they are sure i will be fine! Apparently 1 in 4 people have this condition, they just dont have the medical services to know this.

Thankyou all for worrying, im calm (for now) and will just concentrate on this baby and the iminant birth within the next 19 days...

Im sorry this is all very me i will get back tomorrow and post to you all.

Take care and thanks again xxxx

X post. Hi to Vjaythesleepyone and Mermaid

Morning mermaid how are you today?

Forgot to add, Ajay is now in his cot

Oh Barbie Huge hug, honey. That's really big news to get your head around at this stage - or any stage. Hope you're ok. Try to focus on Babybarbie right now and relax as much as you can. We're here for all the jumbled rambling thoughts and fears.

MLS as I said stay quiet and vent on here. You know he's like this (though it doesn't hurt any less)but you'll soon have a pic of a lovely bean to show him. 14 days to go.

Iggy One more sleep. Sounds good about the belly button!

Things easing a bit here. Did some air clearing today which helped.
Have discovered I'm entitled to more holidays than previously but I have to take them when I return to work so it looks like I'll be coming back 3 days a week (but being paid for 5) from December to Juneish! Don't ask me how it works though.

barbie sh*t thoughts and heaps of love to you lovely lady xxx

Blardy hell barbie what's going on? Glad your dh is with you, thinking of you, updates us when you can,

barbie Oh no hope you are ok? xxxxxxxx

I might need heart surgery cant quite get my head around it at the moment...something to do with a hole between one of the chambers.

I will be back to catch up later, just going to go out for a walk to sort out my head, lucky dh home

xxx

neeko thanks for hand... am liking the idea of being wierd together! I too am going swimming... planning to go tonight for first time in ages.

MLS don't know it was only yesterday afternoon for a while - like a strange feeling behind my belly button (which by the way is on it's way out ) a bit tickly?

Sorry your DH is being negative - but I guess it must be a protection thing for him? Doesn't help you though... but your acupuncturist sounds excellent!

Hhhhhhmph. I felt so positive when I came home, apparently my pregnancy pulse is really strong which made me so so happy but when I told dh he said "Well she's hardly going to say it's crap is she?". I'm seriously not saying another word to him about this pregnancy as he only says negative things & makes me feel bad.

Neeko are you back now to mn business as usual? I hope so because I'd hate for you to not be here. Btw 16 lengths sounds pretty damn good to me!

Annie my heart goes out to you it really does. Don't feel bad for coming here & having a moan. It doesn't reflect badly on your love for your children. At least since you've already had one child you know that every phase (no matter how knackering) is only temporary.

Iggy what does it feel like, tickly bubbles?

Barbie are you managing to sleep with all those wires?

Jools sorry you are on cd 1 today, it does sound like your hormones are a bit haywire. acupuncture?

Oh & by the way, my acupuncturist said that my pulse is indicating that I'm going to have a boy!

Meant to say Moon i'm really glad you had a lovely birthday and hope it's been a productive one You sound much happier

Blue the bottle thing makes you sound like you feel a bit more in control. Hope Ben is a superstar and begins to sleep through soon.

LBM Sorry to hear you had a fright. It's awful when they don't move. Glad all ok.

Hi all.
There's a lot on here that need hugs today. Sending them to all just in case I miss someone.

MLS know we've texted and I've emailed you but your DH is in self-preservation mode. Try not to focus on it too much and obsess away with us.

Annie huge hug for you tired lady. I know it seems like an endless time right now but this too will pass and you will survive it. Mermaid's right though, try to rope in family members and rest when you can.

MrsKate that must have been scary but glad all ok. Take care of yourself.

Jools so sorry you're having such a dreadful time and I'm sure AF isn't helping. Take care.

Mermaid Glad to hear things are moving with the doctor & golfer. Hope things get sorted out soon.

Barbie that sounds really scary today. Hope you're ok. Very glad they are checking you out properly.

Iggy Here's my hand for Wednesday. remember that stage so well. If I'm going to be weird I'd a
rather be weird with someone like you

4ever Hope you're still enjoying your new PC and the 2vessel cord thread is helping. When do you go back to work?

Cupcake Looking forward to hearing about your favourite homes. Sounds like you've been really busy lately. Hope you're not doing too much.

Love to the new and not-so-new mummies and their gorgeous DC.

I went swimming today for the 1st time since July due to DH's impossible hours. Only managed 16 lengths and was shattered but has really helped my SPD so going to try harder to go more often.

hi all

sorry *cupcake my sp mistake is isabelle . i miss typed .

MLS men eh !!!!

Just a quick one before I go to acupuncture. Very disappointed that I had to tell dh I was pregnant today. Conversation went like this:

Him: I'm surprised you are not pestering me for sex.

Me: Errrrm, no I'm having a funny cycle.

Him: What your period hasn't arrived, you might be pregnant?

Me: Ummmm, Oh I dunno.

Him: Well you know I'm in Chicago next week so.....

Is wierd I feel like I can feel something now... but not sure... feels odd...

ooh creme egg would be nice

No I will not slap you I'll just hand you a creme egg instead to soothe your nerves... (If you like them, otherwise, Twirl?) don't be cross, it's totally normal. I felt like that before the 20wk scan and I'd been feeling kicks for a while by then!

cupcake no we are keeping it a surprise... Am so cross with self... thought I was calm... but feeling all worried... someone slap me!

Ooh iggy sorry I x-posted with you earlier, sorry about the scan wobbles thinking of you for Weds and sure lo will reassure you with lots of wriggling on the screen! Are you going to find out the flavour?

Hi kate glad everything is ok with Boris and that is hilarious about the boy behaviour!! Ooh, so is gracie's dd Isabelle or Isabella? Both beautiful but we need to be sure!

annie you poor love, my heart went out to you reading your post, I'm sure I'd be exactly the same, dissolving into tears. Just know it's nothing you're doing and some babies are just like that (says she who has no babies - but a close friend had a real screamer for a baby & he wouldn't even go to anyone but her but she had never smothered him or anything, he was just like that.) Really hope it eases up soon and you get some shut-eye.
