Blue I'd take all the weight loss I could get at this point! I was like this with my first and he was perfectly healthy 6lb 13oz. And I weighed less waking out of the hospital than I did when I got pregnant.
Pbn the chiro I go to does neurological integration system. I think that's what it's called! And he does not pop or crack you he gently massages stuff back into place it's wonderful. Usually when I hurt it as bad as I have today I can walk out of his office walking nearly upright and within 3-4 days am just fine. He did tell me though I'd eventually have to do something else aka surgery. Because the more I keep pushing the discs out of place the weaker they get and it'll keep happening [emoji21]. But I knew I'd have issues coming into this pregnancy since it's been acting up so much recently but I didn't want to bring it up to hubby he'd not wanted ttc. But my body just physically can't handle anymore babies it's gotten worse every time. So the three things I have to look forward to that I need to prioritize is 1. Tubes tied 2. Back surgery and 3. Wisdom teeth pulled [emoji52] because I'm a procrastinator about EVERYTHING related to going to the dr.

I am happy with the weight loss (who wouldnt be right ?) But was wondering if overall baby will healthy weight. My babies tend to be tiny weight wise. My heaviest was 6lbs 5 oz and lightest 5 lbs 7 ounces

Blue - I think baby will be fine, they are so tiny at this point anyways. I lost at first and am considered medically underweight (due to height/weight) and my OB wasn't concerned. I'm happy to take that over last pregnancy where I gained a ton at first [emoji51]

Hi ladies! I've been missing all of you! I still don't have time to properly catch up at the moment. We had trainings all day, then "Open House" at my school. Exhausted!! Hope all of you are doing well [emoji173]
Max-happy to hear spotting has stopped! [emoji322]
Ash-sorry you are hurting [emoji20]Hope you get some relief! I wonder if you could get a prescription for a muscle relaxant like flexeril, which is supposed to be safe during pregnancy. Not sure if it would help with the issues you're having?
Blue-I also lost a lot of weight with my 1st baby & he was 6lbs 12oz. As long as your OB is ok with it, I don't think you need to worry [emoji4]
Heya ladies,
Ok back in the office – and have a few minutes to type before I dig into my zillion emails again :D
Wow, so much catching up to do – I’m sure I will have missed a gazillion things so apologies if I do forget important or smaller things along the way!
Lola – and others starting school again over in the USA – good luck, am sure routine will be settled in no time and you’ll be good to go!
Max – you’ve been in my thoughts – so happy to see you were able to see bub and confirm it was ok, heart beating away! But also, some support from your family to allow you to rest up as much as possible…will await your update on Friday eagerly (or do you still have your appointment today or am I just confused lol?) !
What kind of business do you run if you don’t mind me asking? (would love to start my own but I know it is so much work too).
Laurel – how cute is the fabric you have ready to sew for your girl! :D love it!
Lola – eeek 15/09 for your next scan? You’ll get to see baby Sophia’s cute little face in detail! :D has the bumps started showing or not quite yet?
Bluebooties – I think your emotions are all normal – it’s a matter of keeping them in check so you don’t get overwhelmed by it all – so if you need, reach out where and when you can – this bub will be a blessing regardless of gender, as much as you fear a potential 4th girl. You will be the best mumma to this babe, as you have been to your 3 others :hugs:
Babypinkn3 – like you, if I had to choose one gender I would have chosen all boys – and wouldn’t mind a girl, provided I had boys before… in my case, that ain’t gonna work with 2 girls already but funny I had the same “view” ^^
Ooh won’t be long before we can start guessing for you – woohoo!
Kat – it’s now mid-August and I think you have your 20 week-scan was it mid-September?? It’s lovely to see how you are able to get excited at the prospect of a potential 3rd girl! Boy or girl, #3 will be going into a lovely family ^^ I’m not yet at that stage, anyways I am yet to comprehend I am actually UTD, probably once we tell the kids will it all be more real ^^
Mommy2apples – I have been away so haven’t really been able to follow what has been going on on the 2ww thread, but I love that you are such a positive soul, baby HAS to come soon, it’ has such a great mum and family waiting for it! Xo
PBN - can’t believe you are over what, 16 weeks now?? How are your boys around the growing belly?
Sky – how are feeling hon? Have you made any decisions re finding out gender – has hubby caved?
Ash – has your pain resolved? Heat definitely helps usually with relieving the pain but to heal cold is actually better I think – Arnica cream or granules if you have them are good ^^
do you have a 20 week scan in the US too? That must be coming up soon, no? :D
Like you can’t wait for that newborn to be in our home – it’s the hardest but it goes by sooo quickly that I miss it in a heartbeat – the smell of newborn skin, the baby so little it fits in your arms so easily, the siblings discovering their new baby sister or brother..ahhhh cluck cluck cluck lol
Like you 4blue2pink, would take that over toddler tantrums anyday haha
SRG – 4th kid – I guess the more you have the more you are chilled too, eh? So I guess it’s bound to be easier in a way, no? (please nobody rain on my parade, I will stay in blissfull ignorance for another little while if not haha).
Iwant4 – I must admit, we were very blessed with the weather while on the Sunny coast – it was just glorious!! ^^ how are you feeling? MS easing up?
When are your next appointments and so forth?
Momoffour, I'm so sorry about your mother and your DH’s experience – musn;t have been easy for sure :hugs: what a beautiful big family you will have :awe:
Dancingdiva – hope you recover soon – sucks being sick while preggo, so little you can do – rest up!!
I think you were asking about next gender reveals – I will get NIPT done the 1st days of September so hope to know by my 1st trim scan on the 19th (and if not, will be fun to guess with the nub – should be 12+5/13 ish) – so just over a month away :)
ASF – back from leave, managed to stump my big toe so bad before driving home yesterday – not sure if it’s broken but man I was on the verge of passing out – fortunately took a Panadol to ease the pain as I had 2 hours of driving home with the DDs at the back – I looked like a senior lady walking to the train this morning haha
And OMG OMG OMG the hunger – just had a light lunch and will have to go out buy something as MS has come back again – I am one hungry monster, it’s terrible it goes nauseous, starving, nauseous, starving – I do try to break up food and graze but that’s not enough (and actually can do a fair few fruit and veg this time which repulsed me last pregnancies) – last night, after having a plentiful sushi dinner (worry not, only the safe ones ^^) after coming home from our break to an empty fridge – a couple of hours later I was lying in bed with my tummy howling, so I ran to the kitchen and made myself a bowl of instant mash potatoes (which I normally keep for emergency emergency nights to feed hungry kids as it’s done in literally 30 seconds lol), and in true preggo style, scoffed in down in bed with a husband laughing his head off at me… at least I was being nice and happy - just hungry - because poor him, I’m having the worst mood swings too :P 8 weeks today if I go by O – cannot wait to see little Bean next week – will be such a change between the last scan and this next one :D
Also, hormones or not, but having big desires for change – I want to clear the house, go green, save the Earth and our wallets – and in that effort, want to start sewing LOL
I have a couple of friends that sew, but they are already quite good so recommended their big expensive machines and overlockers – and doubt I will have time to ever do too big or complex projects but would love to be able to do a bit of clothing for the girls, and accessories, toys etc, do stuff for bub – so was thinking of getting a sewing machine with an overlocker option – not sure that is the real technical term haha (rather than also have an actual overlocker) – any suggestions?? I was thinking of checking out Spotlight but might be better cheaper option elsewhere or online…
Laurelw, I know you sew – would love to hear what you use etc! :D I am a true newbie, never tried ever before so keen to get started asap so I can get myself into gear before bub comes along :D
OK, this has become a 10-part novel so better hit post :P
xx
LMSM I've never heard of arnica I'll have to google it but I do have some bio freeze. Ds1 was a huge help tonight with a little instruction he got the two littles a bath and helped by laying one down to bed! I am actually going backwards as the time goes on it's getting a bit more stiff but I'm going to try n be optimistic and hope for the best with my chiro in the morning. My scan is on the 26th this month and I'm excited to see a more chubby baby this time and confirm girl. I'm still in disbelief. And I do not miss nauseous- starving - nauseous - starving!! This is how I was exactly with ds3 and 4 and I gained sooooo much weight. I'm not on much of a better schedule now but at least the weight isn't out of control yet! Hope it eases up for you soon

Oh how sweet of your eldest to have helped so much – I hope you get better soon – being in so much pain is so debilitating! Arnica is a homeopathic remedy – not sure how readily available it is in the US but worth checking out ^^ if you can muster the strength for a warm bath (and someone can help you out), could help relieve some of the tension at least – worse comes to worse, a nice warm long shower?
OMG so soon for your next scan then – eeeek!! No wonder you’re in disbelief – a girl after 4 boys, I would be too! But she is here to stay –did you settle on a name for her? :D
Yikes – don’t scare me chicky - I already gained so much weight with the girls (respectively 18/19kg ish and 15kg ish – so what, 35/40 and 30 pounds ish??) – and started this pregnancy with more weight on than the two others that this regime scares me – I feel so fat already haha – I have promised myself that once MS eases, it will be healthy healthy healthy diet – and once I get the all clear to exercise (hopefully if the hematoma has subsided) then I will get my jelly moving more – my back is so bad as it is (scoliosis) so too much weight gain isn’t good!
LMSM I was just talking to some friends today about how finger and toe pain is like no other! Hope your toe isn't broken, have you had it looked at yet?
My boys are great about baby. Ds1 was talking to baby and gave my tummy a kiss the other night, was the sweetest thing [emoji173] he has changed his mind on gender and now wants a sister so she won't want to play with his toys [emoji23][emoji23] ds2 doesn't really understand still but he still loves babies in any case!
Cant wait for your next scan!

Yep, can't wait to see this bean either..and mostly can't wait to tell the girls, but still another month or so before we do, that wait is the longest of them all..as I sooo want to tell them :)
Nacire did I miss a recent post from you or has it been a while since we've read you? Miss you, so hope to see some news soon!!! :hugs:
Welcome max!! So very excited for you!
Ash so sorry you are in so much pain!
Lola! Love you are still checking in!! Miss you!!
Thanks lmsm! You are a sweetheart! I miss you!! Yes I know the lord will let it happen soon! Going to my ob today for a papsmear, and going to tell her how the clomid effected my cycles and see where she wants to go from there.
Ouch for your toe!! Hopefully it's not broken! Sorry you were in pain driving home! So excited for your scan! Lol your little boy is growing strong already! Making you hungry all the time!! lol baby sister is hungry all the time with her little man as well!!
Eek!! For sewing!! That'll be so much fun!!
Lol pbn!! Love that he's sick of sharing!! Lol what he don't know... she will want whatever he has anyways!! [emoji23]
Miss you pbn!!

hope your back gets better soon ash, my friend has bulging discs as well as a degenerative disc disease but doesnt yet want the surgery and finds the only thing that keeps her pain free is acupuncture, so much so that she has re-trained as an acupuncturist and started her own business!
My anatomy scan is in less than three hours. I know it's a girl, but I've allowed myself to hope a little. Ugh. I hate that I've allowed those thoughts in because I'm afraid it's going to make the disappointment so much worse. Because we've had tragedy, I know that healthy is all that matters, but the finality of this being my last pregnancy had really been setting in lately. Thanks for letting me vent.

LMSM scoliosis sounds painful. I think mine is stemming from working in a nursing home when I was 16-17 and using bad form to move and lay down the patients. If I only knew then what I know now! But my mom does have arthritis in her back and degenerative bone disease and my dad just had back surgery for ruptured disks about 2 weeks ago so I guess I come by it naturally. We haven't settled on a name yet but we like Esmae. We usually wait to settle until their born so we can see what they look like.
Pbn cute what ds1 said [emoji38].
Went to the chiro and he said it's my sacrum (tailbone I think) popping out and then all my muscles squeezing tight around it to further protect my back from anymore damage. So he fixed me and said in 2-3 days I should be fine again. Until next time. [emoji53]

We're having a heart echo too, I think, which is why we waited until almost 22 weeks. Everything looked good at 12 weeks, growth was in target too. My heart baby was already measuring almost two weeks behind at 13 weeks, so I'm feeling pretty good about it. Of course, there's a possibility for a smaller defect.

hope everything goes well at your scan srg :) did you have NIPT done or are you thinking girl from the nub?
My tech guessed girl from the nub. The nub guess was right with DD3, so I have no real reason to doubt it.

glad your sorted out ash that sounds horrible, fingers crossed you can get through the rest of your pregnancy without it happening again, have you had problems with your tailbone after delivery with any of your babies? mine got bent upwards by DS3's very quick arrival and i was in agony for a few days :( thankfully it sorted itself out fairly quick and didnt happen with 4,5 or 6
i understand why you feel that srg but you never know.. there have been a few nub shots on here taken well into 13th week which looked 100% girl, literally as girly as a nub could ever be yet they turned out to be boys, fingers crossed for you to hear both healthy and blue xx
4blue2pink from what I understand that's what's happening here with the tailbone. I've never had it act up during delivery so hopefully I'll be good this time also. And I'd love to make it through the rest of this pregnancy without it happening but the last time I was in to see him was June so it's not looking to hopeful

i remember it being agony especially when i tried to bend down to pick something up off the floor, sitting down wasnt to comfy either! really really hope it stays away for you!
Ash that sounds terribly painful. I get bad sciatic pain sometimes but never in my tailbone like that

Srg, for what it's worth, my college roommate was told girl at her nub shot. She was so excited, picked out her nursery, told everyone, etc....then the anatomy scan showed boy. He's 8 now and ALL boy! There's still a chance. Fingers crossed for you!!!
Pbn, your son sounds so sweet! Love that!!
Ash, feel better hon!
LMSM, sorry about your toe, ouch!! How are you feeling? My sister also said that with her 3 boys she was starving all the time and it was so different with her girl. Maybe that's a sign it's your boy? :)
Lola, hope you're enjoying being back at work!
Someone asked me and I can't remember who, but I'm in finance and own my own outsourcing firm. I work on a consulting basis, which is amazing because I can work for a few months and then take off a few months. I worked at an investment bank previously and it was the WORST time of my life...vowed never to go back! ;)
O srg hang in there. I have been in ur shoes and i now how it feels. Just let out, we r here for u and remember once that baby is born the love for it will lessen the pain and time will healQuote:
