I just want to be…
Finally…I had a fill a couple of weeks ago. Nearly 4 weeks ago actually. She put in another 1ml giving me about 10ml total. I was surprised as I thought they only took 10ml but she said she has a girl with 14ml in hers. Interesting. Anyway I noticed the effect immediately. Eating is hard [...]
So the 1st Jan has come and gone…and the Monday after the 1st Jan has also come and gone and I am no closer to being in control than I was. I have an appointment next week for another fill. I really hope that helps. I need some serious restriction. SERIOUS.
Thanks for everyone’s advice. I [...]
I have been wanting to update here for some time but honestly I just don’t seem to have any time to myself these days…I love being a Mum but boy is it tiring and time consuming! I miss being able to just go and do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do [...]
Here’s the long, painful story…
I started feeling mild contractions around 1am Wed morning 5/8/2009. By 5am they’d gotten really bad and I was starting to get a bit scared. I noticed they were getting closer together and the pain was starting to scare me. So at 5.20am I texted my Doula (Liz) who arrived about [...]

I’m possibly biased, but seriously the most beautiful girl in the world. I’m totally in love.
She has some ’stork [...]
I am so, so, so thrilled at being pregnant. I can’t even begin to tell you how much. However unfortunately I am not one of these women who does pregnancy well. No siree, not well at all. I just did my first ante-natal class last night and it was a physiotherapy class aimed at helping [...]
We decided to have a ‘fun’ scan at 24 weeks, as I really love seeing how the baby has grown etc. We got a few good photos. Quite amazing to make out a real little baby face! We have another one booked at 30 weeks as apparently this is when you really get to see [...]
It’s been a hard 5 months so far, this pregnancy, but things are just now starting to settle down. Aside from the dreadful nausea up to about 15 weeks, I started suffering from terrible Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction which started off as mild discomfort in the pelvis region, but ended up getting really bad. I experienced [...]
At 19 weeks and 5 days we went for our morphology scan. Although we were nervous, we were also hoping that if everything looked good during this scan that our risk of downs would be decreased by 4.
The first stage of the scan was done by a girl who was new to the practice, so [...]
So we went back to the sonographer for our 14 week scan about 6 weeks ago now. We were very nervous as last pregnancy when we visited this office it was for an amnio at 14 weeks and we naively expected everything to be fine, but within minutes of walking into the ultrasound we were [...]
