Due in June 08 - the rollercoaster continues...

[debinaustria]

Morning everyone

Hope you're all OK today

Deb

Looney YEAH!! Deb

Still got the AF symptoms going on here. So hard to not think negatively. Can't believe this is so common but so little is said about it. Now back to nap.

thanks for taking a look everyone. it really does make you count your blessings. the extra scary thing is that she isn't even a big sun worshipper and has no history of cancer in her family. shows how much our sun is changing and how much we need to lather those babies with sunscreen.

g43 that is who i went to visit, i may go again in the next couple of weeks. i was hoping to see her at the wedding but her husband doesn't think it's going to happen. so it's sad but also it's getting to the point where we just want release for her. it's tough for me to think of anything else at the mo.

does anyone know about flying in the first trimester? i think i'll probably be 11 or 12 weeks when i want to go...

Should be OK to fly well i hope so as going away in 10 days when 7 weeks on another note a very good friend of my parents was given 5 years 7 years ago and is still going strong, it is in his bones aswell, he manageas it through diet.

DLM I flew in the first trimester with DD1 and DD2 and they are fine. I know someone who worked in Germany three days a week and she flew from the uk every week throughout her whole pregnancy and her daughter was perfect!

I can't even imagine the pain everyone around your frined is feeling. I understand what you mean about wanting release for her.

Will try not to get too paranoid about being ignored and left off all the lists, so will politely add myself if I may.

Hi everyone!

Just been reading your messages and I'd like to come on board! Just found out I'm pregnant, EDD around 30th June. Really nervous yet, had miscarriage with first pregnancy but have a beautiful daughter now who will be 2 next week, so fingers crossed for a little sibling
x

DLM so sorry to read about your friend I wish I could think of the right thing to say. There was a girl that was a few years younger than me in school who I didnt know very well but we all new her story, she passed away age 23 from cervical cancer leaving her 3year old daughter, I always remember thinking how brave she was as she wrote out cards and letters for her daughter for every milestone in her life (exmas, 16th, 1st boyfriend, wedding day etc)
Im sure you will be fine to fly I think its only after 7/8 months you need a cert from doc to say your fit.

Ernest sorry you had been missed off the list it wont have been on purpose {hug}

DD has got another cold I dont know where she is getting them all from, her whole face is green and sticky sorry TMI im hoping I can ward it off.

Anyway I know its late to start but im going to go and make a christmas cake today sniff the brandy and see if it makes me feel better

Just catching up...

Firstly....thanks SO MUCH for all the lovely comments, means a lot

needahand - Hello. Yes, I started showing a few weeks ago but think it was more gas than anything (although was eating LOADS) as it suddenly went when my symptoms went.....it's there a little bit again but I think it's probably my body changing shape and yes, still eating more than normal (usually have quite a flat tummy so it shows quickly - need to be careful as I don't want mindees parents knowing til I'm 12 weeks!). I'm having to wear baggy tracksuit bottoms etc. as my jeans no longer close

dylansluckymum - that made me cry, how very sad and how very brave she is. Don't know what to say apart from life can be so unfair at times!

systemsaddict - thanks for thinking of me, I swear all the positive vibes from MN helped!! The whole week was bad with me worrying and then on Thursday getting the OFSTED complaint and then the news about dh's job, I honestly thought moreso that the scan was going to be bad news....usually comes in 3's!!! I was so so relieved I can't tell you!! Still can't believe how something as tiny as my thumbnail can have a little heart beating in there

debinaustria - yes I WAS convinced, I really was! And yes, I'm still smiling

libralady - thanks so much, it's all still a shock but hopefully he'll know more next week and I may well come to you for advice

sophiewd - I know it's hard but I lost ALL my symptoms too and then had bleeding start the next night so was CONVINCED all was lost but Friday I got to see my little bean with a heartbeat. Try not to worry yourself sick like I did. Do you have bleeding? After doing threads about my worries, I now know that it's VERY normal to loose symptoms like that. Maybe the hormone rush to start gives us the symptoms and then it all settles down for a bit. Funny thing is, my state of mind must have made my symptoms go (like people told me they thought was the case) as I've felt a little sick today and yes, my boobs ARE getting fuller!! Our minds can play cruel tricks on us!!

Right, best get on with some work....I've got lots to do to sort this OFSTED complaint now, yeah, I need this like a hole in the head!! I'm going to make them pay for doing this to me, I've done nothing wrong and I'm pretty sure they've set me up just because I decided to make a stand on behalf of lots and lots of childminders and parents who've had enough of the red tape and their inconsistancies!! It's either because I mentioned the OFSTED group I found on Facebook with their disgusting comment or because I got the story on BBC London News (aired yesterday). Anyway, whatever it is, it's vitimisation and they'll regret messing with me!!

Just added capricornqueen - welcome

Good luck with the OFSTED thing Looney, Go get em tiger.

Is anyone else really spotty. I've got break outs and greasy hair and feel like a teenager! So annoying!
Can now time by MS to the minute. 3.15 without fail every afternoon. Ick.

Not spotty but I do have greasy hair - you look so unattractive in the first months of pregnancy, dh reckons that's why our boobs grow to compensate !!

I have spots I even found one on my belly and legs which I've never had before. Greasy hair too. I'm also finding my body unconfortable at the moment, if it makes snese my body fees mildy irritatted and I can't relax properly.

yes to the spots, forehead a minefield so is my chest neck and scalp, hair is calming down a bit its gross when I wake up though, but with fine hair its pretty much always like that.
G43 I know what you mean its almost like having growing pains, its making me cringe as Im thinking of the stretching and growning my poor old sack has to come. The there is the after pains they freak me out more than labour lol long time away but shudder at the thought

josey I don't remember having any after pains with DD1 but after dd2 they were shocking it was worse than labour. I was told they get worse everytime!

Evening all. Spotty here too. Definitely don't get the staying "pregnant and beautiful". Makes me wonder if it wasn't said by someone wearing beer goggles.

My odd condition has led me to look for a carnaval job: Pregnant Lady with AF. As you can see my sense of humor is returning. My DH gave me two super cheers today as I had two major MS episodes. Funny the things we cheer. It was nice to have at least one normal pregnancy symptom. Not that being exhausted isn't one so I guess I'll correct that and say it's nice to have a SECOND normal pregnancy symptom.

Josey my DD will probably be sick too by Monday. She played with her cousin today who had a terribly icky face. It was during one of my MS moments so I really had to stand clear or hurl.

DLM you are an amazing friend. Fly without worry.

Looney what a week, huh? I'll send you some boxing gloves because it sounds like you need to teach somebody a lesson. How are feeling today...bleedingwise?

G43 I had nothing with DS and DD's like you say worse than labour they went on for days at one point I was in bed bawling cause I thought I had damaged my stomach for good the pain was so bad I couldnt make myself sit, it want till my MW checked me and said I had dropped 5(is it inch or cm cant remember) over night and yes I believe they are to get worse

TS hope your DD escapes the lurgy

I've got to stop reading horror stories about my so called "condition". After finally calming down about the whole bicornuate uterus thing, I've now read that women with BU are also much more prone to weak/ incompetent cervix and many need cerclage as early as 10 weeks.
Any of you guys had a cerclage? Just wondering what it's like re recovery - how long till you were back on your feet.
TS hooray for the MS - a good sign, if an unpleasant one.
G4 I also had a giant spot on my tum - truly bizarre, but at least I could hide that one - currently got a giant b*stard on my chin and two on my neck of all places.
But, the more symptoms the happier I feel, iykwim.

G43 I remember having after pains. I think it happened day four, as I was in hospital for days 1 and 2. I was fine there where they offered me every drug under the sun for pain. I just looked at them funny because I had none. But then I went home..... Pain was quite intense. I think I passed a few clots as well. It didn't last more than 24 hours for me which was about 23 hours too long. DANG I forgot about that!! I'm doing this again because.........

No cerclages here but I've known a few women who've had them. Can't say they said anything drastically negative. I think it's rather common under certain circumstances. But yes, China, do stop reading and/or googling. Only the worst stories make it on the web.

Good point. Just so odd to not be in control. Still, I should probably get used to that, harhar.

OMG - who reminded me of the afterpains - -AARGH, and that sucking in your breath as they latch on at first!!

Off to bed for a sleepless night, ds#2 has a bad chest and will no doubt end up in bed with us.

Night

lol Debs that pain is something ever mother sympathises with it is a blood curdling pain that one - I remember my mum saying the pain of labour went from her memory but not the pain of my jaws

TS i was the same for a while in the hosp I couldnt work out why they were asking me if I wanted drugs, then I asked a nurse why do I feel as though Im in labour again, "oh my dear that will be your after pains" (I could do with a grrr face)they went on for 5 days.

9 official weeks have passed. I would like to make a toast. Here's to three more sets of nine...just get me to week 36 without further issue and give my little one good health & a joy for life.

In the few hours since my last post I feel like my tummy has doubled in size. What an absolutely wild feeling. Obviously it's not actually doubled but I really can feel the workings going on under the surface. With all the joyous commotion there's been some pain but who cares, it's for a good cause.
