***** January 2015 Mummy's *****

[megsmeadow]

Oh gosh, christmas! My dad is scheduled to have his fifth chemo on Christmas Day! We've spoken to the nurses though and they think it'll maybe be Christmas Eve instead. It really will depend on how he's doing by then, and spending time with the inlaws too. Never again will I eat two Christmas dinners though that's for sure! Yes I have done it two years in a row, nothing worse!!

Mrs w I really hope your dads chemo isn't on Xmas day- what a tough year for you all!!!

Got my glucose test today- jut waiting to have my first bloods taken and already bored and hungry- was such a rush to get here as had to take hubby to work then drop Freddie off at my dads- then I didn't have any money for parking so had to park in car park that's a bit of a walk away!! Now I'm hot and sweaty!!!

Even if chemo is Crimbo day Meg, you can make the best of it?

I guess you have to hun, not much else you can do?

Good luck with GTT Jolly.

Feeling shattered and achy today, I didn't even walk this morning as I feel that bad. Feel like a 90 year old!

Hi all, I'm afraid to admit that I have been lurking on this forum for a while and keep meaning to post. As I am now entering my third trimester I've worked up the courage to post!!
This is my first baby after 3 cycles of ivf one resulting in a miscarriage. Trying to get my head around all of this has been quite a challenge but I want to say a massive thank you to everyone on here as you have all made it so much easier!! There have been many worries along the way and it is so reassuring to read other posts that voice my concerns.
So congrats to everyone and I look forward to joining you all for these final few weeks!!!

Team yellow, baby due 27th Jan

 

[megsmeadow]

We'll definitely make the best of Christmas, no matter what's thrown at us

Consultant appointment for me tomorrow. I feel like I've appointments coming out my ears just now. My midwife seems to think this one is a bit backwards as my growth scan isn't until next week. Who knows.

I've added you on first page

Hey excited!!!! Glad you feel brave enough to post now, lovely to have you here ))

Is it bedtime yet?

So tired and it's only Monday!

James doesn't go to bed until 9pm (I know, but we've tried everything and that is just his bedtime) but I'll crawl in very shortly after he goes down tonight!

[Jolly81]

What time does he wake up Nat? My nephew is a bit later to bed too. Freddie goes to bed at 7pm but he's up at 6am for nursery at 7am which is when I start work so he does get worn out.

I'm definitely struggling to keep up with him during this pregnancy though!! I'm normally in bed and going off to sleep at 9.30!!! X

 

[spallerina]

I ended up having a total panic at work today, I was feeling quite breathless and then got a really sharp chest pain under my ribs that was worse with breathing. I checked my pulse and it was racing so convinced myself I had a blood clot! Luckily we have finger prick tests that if negative pretty much rules one out, so did one of those and was so relieved it was negative. Pain of course has all settled now, think the little monkey had just wedged himself right under my ribs!

 

[Excited83]

Thanks for the welcome!

Bump is very wiggly today which is reassuring but feeling very tired again, won't be long unti I give in and go to bed I think!

We've decided on a quiet Christmas this year, just me and hubby for Christmas dinner- which he is cooking nice to be able to put our foot down and get people to come to us, normally seems that because we don't have a little one yet we've been expected to do all the travelling! Can't wait, only 38 working days left for me!!!

Hello & welcome, Excited!

This is also my first baby after 3 cycles of IVF and previous losses so I totally empathise with you! It's wonderful to make it to the third trimester at last, isn't it!

Big, big congrats xx

 

[CARNAT22]

Morning ladies, feeling so shitty and tired I am hoping to change my maternity leave dates by a week and go off at 37w.

Can't take the thought of another 10 weeks Although it's actually only 41 days and at least a week of those will be early finishes???

Kiwi, I hope your appointment went OK yesterday sweetie??

[Kiwi_53]

Hey appointment yesterday went okay! We got scanned and the baby's kidneys are mesureimh much the same as last time, so it is good that there not getting worse, still a worry but we are trying to look on the bright side! The babys abdominal circumference is measuring small so we are being scanned again in two weeks, so not sure what all of that is about, the surgeon said they were pleased that the kidneys havnt grown more and that hopefully we will be able to bring baby home after about a week, and that the operation may only take place at 3 months so we are quite happy about all these things. He also said that the AC was unrelated to the kidneys so just hoping now everything is okay on that score. All in all still trying to be optimistic about it all, but at least it's not getting worse we were told baby was 3.22 pounds, does anybody have any experience with scan weights then birth weights?

Hope everyone else is getting on good! And keeping well! Xx

 

[CARNAT22]

That all sounds very positive hun.

Glad things are going in this direction, I know there is still a lot of uncertainty and lots to worry / stress about BUT you sound like you are taking it all in your stride.

I only had a scan at 34w with James (everyone at my hospital has a growth scan) and he was estimated at 5lbs then. Based on the common measure of 0.5lb per week gain I expected an 8lb-er at 40 weeks!

Had a 7lb 8oz baby at 41w 2d

[Kiwi_53]

Yep trying to stay possitive as there is nothing I can do to help, and stressing doesn't so just try to enjoy my pregnancy
As for the birth weights I was just curious as it's amazing they can calculate this things, how accurate they are is the question I guess haha. Xx

 

[CARNAT22]

Wasn't all that accurate for me (thankfully LOL)

Yep being positive makes life so much easier? It's hard to always be that way of course and everyone has their moments / wobbles.

Can't believe we are going to be having bambino's arriving soon - think I am so preoccupied with other stuff I keep forgetting I am going to have a new baby soon
