Blue, how many weeks are you? Do you have morning sickness?

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
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! love it!

Lola – eeek 15/09 for your next scan? You’ll get to see baby Sophia’s cute little face in detail! 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

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?
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 what a beautiful big family you will have

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

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! 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

OK, this has become a 10-part novel so better hit post :P

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
