November / December 2012 Babies

Thanks so much Isha and congratulations on making it to 12 weeks! So happy for you!
Have a great evening everyone ! x

Hi Ladies

Ive been a 'silent reader' on the site for a few weeks now...thought i'd introduce myself and get chatting!

I'm a first time mom2b, 13 weeks this week, due in Nov...had my 12 week scan last week and it was theeee most amazing thing ever! i still cant believe i'm carrying life inside me- even DH was a little misty eyed (although he firmly denies this )

Looking forward to sharing this experience with all of you

Hey Naaz

I have no words to say, i can only imagine all the thought going on in your head.
Just know that i am thinking of you and praying for the best.

I know the next 2 weeks is going to be a long wait, but trust that it will all be ok.

(((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))

Hi ladies,

Well I can't say much, Hcg levels dropped from monday 15700 to 8400 yesterday. From sunday night was the worse pains imaginable ( like I swollowed a whole lot of pins) and got worse wednesday morning.

While at work yesterday, went to the loo to find that I didn't want to wee but for everything to come out

So I rushed to my gynae who did an internal check and scan and found that there's still a sac but couldn't say much .... So I will have to wait for another 2 weeks to see if there's any progress

Isha, I do agree with you regarding not having much pain after c-section but I think the reason for that is you are so focused on the wonderful creation that came out of you that you don't think of the pain & one is definitely up & running the next day

I was unfortunate to experience c-section twice!!!!!! One when I had my lg & the 2nd one last year June when I went in for a laparoscopy & hysteroscopy. When doc wanted to do the hysteroscopy, the scope didn't want to move through my urethra as it was blocked. He had to open them up otherwise the sperm would also have no way to go & the only way he could do that was via c-section again

I'm telling you, the pain is 10 times worse & you definitely feel it constantly. I couldn't walk straight for days & had to take strong pain meds & even that didn't take the pain away completely. So I personally think, having a baby that way definitely takes your mind of the major surgery that actually took place

My lg girl is fine. She kisses my tummy often & talks about her baby LOL.
As for the downs test, it doesn't bother me at all. I'm not concerned about it & either way, the gynae does check for it when he does the scan as they measure everything & measures the fold in the baby's neck but it's your choice if you want to know or not.
Sjoe, can't believe you hit the 12 week mark. Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning ladies

Naaz? How you doing? What the bloods say? Thinking of you


Marijke, that was so uncalled for from your in laws. I think you should let your hubby discuss it with his parents. Grandparents always think they know what is best for our children.

CVANWYK, welcome and all the best for the months ahead. I was all for natural, was in labour for 19 hours waiting for the natural. I went into distress and was wheeled off for a c-sec. I felt robbed of a natural birth at first, but have come to realise it was what was best for the baby during that time. So keep an open mind, do a birth plan. But be open to the idea of a c-sec should it be suggested whilst you in labour. I didnt have much pain with my c-sec at all. Was up and running 2 days after.

BB, i think the best will be to seek counselling. I know a very good marriage counsellor that lives very close to you. I hope that things work for the best for you and your family. Will keep you in my prayers always. I know we telling you not to stress that it is impossible. But just try to take it easy. We hear if you need to talk.

welcome 2nd time mommy!

Momtoc, How is your LG?
I decided against the downs test. No point in finding out cause its not gonna change the outcome. 4 more days for me to see my lil gymnist.

I am officially on the 12 week mark today. Shooo what a ride thus far. Fingers crossed and lots of prayers to the next 28weeks.

Boom Boom

The best thing you can do right now is only worry about your unborn child! That should be your first and only concern. These fights between you and your husband will pass and if this stress is to the detriment of your baby then both you and your husband will blame yourselves if something should happen. Its not worth you getting so upset about this. I have friends who have been in a similar situations. I really think you need to sit down with your husband and make and agreement that no one will leave the room until you discuss things through. He can tell you whats bothering him and how he feels about what you do wrong and vise versa. Make sure that you agree to do this amicably as no one benefits from the shouting, screaming, and ugly words least of all your children. Atleast it will give you the oppotunity to try and work on those things! Nothing good can come out of the way both you and your husband are handling things. Sit down, tell him how you feel and tell his uncle friend today that this is what you want and you hope that he is prepared to do this too. I hope things get better for you and that you and your husband can get back to enjoying your wonderful pregnancy. Let me know what happens x
