Due Jan 2009!!!

Morning! Well managed to sleep through till 6.30amm, which is a minor miracle for me! 4 yr old still snoozing her head off which means I can get some chores done. Lucky me! Hope everyone is feeling okay and have a good day.

Oops...spoke to soon...4yr old awake! Need to go and have some breakfast. Don't want to give ms any chance to sneak on in

Hey,
Yeah I have lower back pain, I think it is everything stretching again. I know that stretching pains are suppose to be worse second time around.

Mel, I am loo checking all the time as well. How comes you are having an early scan? Is it just cos twins run in your family?
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

I dont know why I am getting an early scan. The form just says for confirmation. Maybe because its our first???

Either way, I am happy to get it done. Last time I had an ultrasound it was to see if I had gall stones and I cried because my uterus was empty. The poor radiographer was young and didnt quite know what do with a crazy like me

I just dont what the stretching is supposed to feel like. So I am very nervous! I am getting worried now when I dont feel anything. I need a hobby

Yep...I am with you on the loo checking! This is probably TMI but are you guys still getting some sort of creamyish discharge? Because my first pregnancy was a complete shock, I don't recall anything that happened very early on.

I know what you mean about not feeling anything! My boob pain is very sporadic but the back ache is kinda permanent. My DH is quite surprised too that I haven't started praying to the porcelain god yet! Mind you, with my wee girl vomitting today there isn't any room in the toilet for Mummy so it is just as well!

Every pregnancy is so different so it's really hard to judge against others experiences. Although ms would confirm to me I am indeed pregnant and the little peanut is doing well, I could definately do without it.

The two of us are just going to have a very quiet weekend. Chilling out watching dvd's (they will all be kids ones of course!). Feels like winter is here today so don't feel like venturing too far anyway.

Im not too worried about the scan. We were actually walking out the door when the DR came running after me. She might just give them to everyone.

I was thinking it might be because she predicted my due date as 28th Dec and I disagreed because I have 5 week cycle not 4 week.

I am not really having anything today. A bit of crampy, slightly sensitive nipples and tiny waves of nausea not very often. Will enjoy it while I can.

Have a great day ladies.

Oh yeah it could be for dates then as the earlier they scan the more accurate date they can give you. 5 week cycle, lucky you.

Yes Katte, TMI but I think if anything I have an increased amount, is why I keep going to the loo cos i'm worried each time I feel it that it is blood.

Lady-aset, I just went with a midwife last time and it was fine, I did end up seeing obs at the hospital cos of the complications that i had but if that hadn't of happened I would of been happy under just the care of the midwife. Am with a midwife this time too but will see an obs at about 28 weeks (I think) cos of having a c/s previously. I think I get a late scan as well to check position.

We just all went out shopping, I had to get some new swimming gear as Spencers lessons start again on monday and my cossie was just about falling apart. I got short and a t-shirt type top cos I thought that would allow me to expand. We bought a nice new winter duvet as well so i'm looking forward to being toasty warm tonight.

I am soooo jealous of you napping!!! My wee girl is very easy but there is still no chance for a snooze since DH away. Think she is over the vomitting now which is a blessing. No temp or anything so just think it is a tummy bug that should pass fairly quickly. Hope she hasn't passed it to me...eekk!

It's good to know everyone is having the same experience with the 'loo checking'. Good to know I'm not unique in this one. DH thinks I'm a looney when I keep checking.

Ladyaset..you should be totally fine with a mw. They are excellent and will refer you on pretty quickly if there are any complications. We don't have private ob's in the manawatu and I am very comfortable with that. If I have any complications like last time then mw will just contact hosp.

cuppatea - enjoy the duvet tonight!

Well I am off to bed! Have struggled to keep my eyes open all day and now that my wee girl is in bed I cannot wait to put my head on that pillow! Night all!

Hey everyone, hope you have all had good weekends.
Mel, you can pick up some really good 2nd hand stuff off trademe, we got a pram for $150 that is normally $450 and it didn't look like they had ever used it. We need a new carseat for Spencer, he is still in the capsule at the moment, the advantages of having a tiny bubba, its so confusing which one to buy.
Don't think I will buy anything for the new bubba till 2nd trimester, although I did see a bassinet that I loved in babycity yesterday, I destroyed Spencers one by forgetting the covers weren't suppose to go in the tumble dryer and they melted, oooops

DH just caught me squeezing my boobs...lol
