August 2013 Babies

<hugs> I'm so sorry sweets! What awful news.

I hope you have some good support for you both and you can both be gentle with each other for a little while

Supra34 - I've gone with a friend's midwife; she had all 4 of her children with her, so I figured I couldn't get much of a better recommendation. But I did have others suggested to me, & the final decision was based on personal preference - I like the fact my midwife is older; close to what my mother's age would have been, so she's had a long career & no doubt lots of experience

Thanks Alice.

I failed to catch a rugby ball last night due to sun glare & it landed moderately hard into my tummy. Got home to find brownish mucus blood, just waiting to hear back from my LMC. Just had a bit more this morning. I'm hoping because its brown that its 'older' blood. Needless to say I won't be finishing my Touch Rugby season. Up until now I"ve had NO blood whatsoever so I'm a little concerned. I"m at 12 weeks too scan is on Valentines Day.

Hi all, had my 12 week scan and all is good and well. Baby was jumping around and we got lots of good pictures. My scan person was a guy called Steve which at first was a little odd but he was super lovely and made me feel very comfortable. Due date is actually 22 August, can the list please be updated? We are still pondering finding out the sex.

Hi everyone I'm due 23 August... Just had my 12 week scan and baby is healthy and very lively! It was actuall a huge relief to see the little heartbeat going as I've had three previous m/c and the scans for those ones were pretty tough. I'm glad to have made it to 12 weeks and feeling reassured now.
Very excited to be on this pregnancy journey

Congrats and welcome Candycane

Is this your 1st baby? Are you finding out sex?

By the way, we have a FB page too, if you want to join that, I can give you the info. That applies to anyone in here as well.

I didn't know Hypothyroidism could cause miscarriages.

I developed it after having my 2nd. Either at the end of pregnancy or after I had her. But it wasn't picked up til she was 8 months old.

Hypothyroidism sucks! Have you ever suffered any vertigo due to it? Or had the mood swings and all the other crappy symptoms?

I pretty much had a terrible time losing weight after my 2nd, who I gained 28kgs with and only lost 3kgs by the time she was 8 months and it was SO hard losing weight, til the meds were right. I also have severe PND, made worse my hypothyroidism, nausea, vertigo and hair was always malting it seems.

My thyroid went over-active(hyperthyroidism) with this pregnancy, was stable for a few weeks and is now over-active again, so I have been told to stop meds and it gets rechecked in 2 wks and if it's still over-active, I have to be referred to a specialist. The plus side is less weight gain. The down side is I feel it caused the Hyperemesis gravidarum (severe nausea and vomiting) that I had from week 5-10. And I get exhausted easily.

I will send you the details for joining FB group now.

I think it gets a bit quiet in here after some people join the FB group and they spend less time on here.

I always spend time on both places to be honest. As I still love hanging out in the forums.

If you knew what your friends will be giving you, that would be a starting point. Then you know what you still need to purchase.

Maybe just get some cute unisex clothes for now, if you really want something to buy.

Glad you are feeling more excited now you've had your scan.

Yeah MS sux! I still get bouts of it. Yesterday morning I was a bit ill. And it's never fun throwing up the meds you just took.

I still get really tired. But having a toddler at home full time, who doesn't nap, means no naps for me.

Good on you for buying some stuff and cleaning the other stuff and it's cool you have things still from #2. As I didn't. I got rid of everything, as I was supposed to be getting my tubes tied and found out 4 days before the procedure, I was UTD.
