Hello Everybody
Hope you are all well and happy and enjoying pregnancy or mummyhood. I'm in my 18th week and am so happyyyyy to be here..ecstatic actually (ok-ok, so maybe there are no words to describe how truly happy i am..but those will do for now). It seems like it's taken forever to get to this week but I love my angel soooooooo very much and i can't wait to meet her in person :o) ...she's going to be the best birthday present EVER!!! (my birthday is 6 days after my due date)..YAY!!!
About me:
Well..i'm 31, single and so happy to be a 1st-time mummy2b. 4 years ago i had a brain tumor removed, a few weeks later i was whooshed back to the hospital because i had to have a shunt inserted for my newly discovered hydrocephalus. during that time one of the doctors told me i would never be able to have children..i was sad but took it on the chin and buried the hurt away deep inside.
A few months ago i discovered i was pregnant, i could not believe it! I was happy but i didn't want to get too happy because after thinking for years that you can't have children....you start to believe that maybe that's the way it's going to stay. especially when you hear all the docs saying the first 12 weeks are the most difficult...why can't they just be positive? why do they have to share the worst-case scenerios? hmmmmm? anyways..i'm 18 weeks now and still can't be totally 500% happy. I'm just scared that if i get my hopes up..things might go wrong..i know that's not exactly good but it's scarey!
My Angel.. Jannige Atianui
I'm naming my baby-girl after her mummy :o) actually the whole name covers 5 generations (maybe more). I love my baby girl with all my heart and i can't wait to meet her.
I'm really nervous about my lil angel after everything 'medically' i've been through, so if you could PLEASE cross your fingers and toes, pray, wish or whatever else that will bring positive energy to me and my baby....please do it. Thank you :o)
Take Care Everyone and I wish you all the VERY best!!!

Yay!!! I'm in week 19 :) woohoooo *does happy dance* 10 days to go before i can see/hear my baby :) *does happy dance again* hope all you beautiful mummy's are well and totally happy!!! Thank you for reading..take care (((hugs))))Wednesday, 28 Nov
*Does happy dance* i've been to my 20 week scan today and my baby seems to be happy and healthy...yipppeeeee!!! however, found out today that the baby boy i 'thought' i was going to have is actually a girl!!! I'm a bit sad because i feel like i've lost my boy..but i'm sooooo happy that my baby is doing great and that's all that REALLY matters to me!!! I know it sounds weird to say it feels like i've lost my son when i never really had him, BUT..for the last few months i honestly thought i was having a boy!..i had his name ready, i could see him and i thought i could feel 'HIM'. but please don't get me wrong I love my baby-girl with EVERYTHING i have/with all my heart & soul! i just hope she knows that and understands my temporary sadness. I wish i could add pics of her but the scanner didn't do a very good job as far as letting me see my baby move or getting decent pics. Well, that's that for now. Thank you for reading. Keep smiling and stay beautiful! (((hugs))))

Yayyyy, I just turned 22 weeks today and am sooooooo happyyyy. My baby's kicking more often and it's the BESTEST feeling..EVER!!! it really is a HUGE peace of mind to feel her moving around. I have my meeting at the hospital this week (not exactly sure why, i think it may be for my hydro) Keep smiling and stay beautiful everyone ((((hugs))))
Tuesday, 11 Dec
Well the last couple of days i've been stressing out!!! haven't really felt my baby move. However!!!.. just got back from my doc and she had a doppler so i got to hear my babys' heartbeat AND a kick (which i didn't feel)..such a relief!!! I'm on 'Cloud 10,089' lol. doc said my angel could just be turned around towards my back. i'm sooooo hap-hap-happyyyyyy! Keep smiling and thank you for reading everyone (((hugs))))

Went to my 1st obste appnt today. everything was going great until i asked about my 20wk scan. apparently my baby 'could' have a hole in her heart. the report said the scan was blurry so they couldn't be 100% sure and that the 'anomaly' in question was very small. I have to go for a scan to be definite which hopefully will be in the next 2 weeks (cross fingers and toes it's before xmas). I've shed a few tears today but am trying my best to keep positive. Please PLEASE cross your fingers and toes, pray or wish (whatever works would be very VERY appreciated!!!) for my baby to be well and healthy. *thank you for reading* ..stay beautiful and take care. (((hugs)))Saturday, 15 Dec
23 Weeks today..YAY!!! So glad to be here but i don't really feel any different. hopefully my baby will be kicking alot more from now on (or at least soon). And i'm supposed to ring the hospital on Monday to find out when my scan is(to confirm my babys' heart condition). I wish it's going to be next week. (((hugs)))) p.s to all the fabulous & Amazing people who have sent me encouraging & supportive thoughts and comments...."Thank You with all my heart!!!" ((((hugs))))
Tuesday, 18 Dec
Found out today that I have my appointment next Thursday 27 to find out about my babys' heart condition. I'm sooooo nervous but am happy and priviledged to have alot of supportive and encouraging comments to refer to for a boost of positive reassurance and a smile on my face. 'Merry Christmas Everyone' Stay beautiful and Be well. (((hugs)))) p.s my midwife did the sweetest, nicest thing today, she dropped me off a huge box of goodies..including some things for my angel..she's been totally Amazing!! but it was such a nice surprise to get her gift.Tuesday, 25 Dec

Aussiemumof2.5 - Friday, 21 Mar
Hey Hun, How you doing? Not long to go now. You excited? Are you all ready? Bag packed, hospital route planned. LOL. I get so excited for people having babies. I should be a midwife LOL. Although I reckon I'd be crying with the woman in labour 'I feel your pain.' LOL

totalsurpriseaboutthis - Tuesday, 8 Jan
Hi- First of all congrat! 2nd since your pregnant your anamal is weakin by the baby taking all your calicum. Some times the main reason is that your not brushing because it makes you sick or that your not burshing and flosing enough. I reccommend that you still see the dentist, you may need a filling but you might have a rct(root canal treatment needed). If you don't go to the dentist it may get worse and become absest.
Belive me I see these every day at the dentist office since I work in one. Those are the main reason. I am also pregnant and can not stand brushing my teeth but, if I don't it will get worse. Also you should be keeping your oral hyg up to date because that is where most of the oral bactieral infections start. IF you don't like the results of your last dentist you ARE intitled to a 2nd opinion!

Yes, both my sister and the babe are doing wonderful. She delivered her 5 weeks early because of an absess on her kidney that almost killed her, but the baby is chubby and healthy and the absess is gone and all is well with the world again. The doctor told her to come in once a year to make sure that the holes are not ripping bigger or anything but it skeptical that they will cause her any ill will, because they probably would have by this point. Keep smiling! :)
lisar - Sunday, 6 Jan
Ive been told when counting movements the best time is between 9pm and 1am b/c most babies have this as their active time. I don't think it really matters the time of day though as long as it is somewhat consistent b/c you want to be able to compare to be sure there isn't a huge deviation.
jscottn401 - Sunday, 6 Jan
whats the stork ideaa????
mommaj - Sunday, 6 Jan
okay...stork thing flew way over my head. LOL. My pregnancy brain doesnt allow me to have common sense anymore. Oh well, hopefully it will return in a few months!!
Yeah, I think some babies are just more active than others. Mine is pretty mellow and doesnt beat me up on the inside like some others say. She doesnt move postions alot either, just kind of hangs out. I Guess we are just lucky so far~
mommaj - Sunday, 6 Jan
i was worried too...but when you really think about...they are babies and babies sleep ALOT. I think it is a blessing in disguise cuz maybe when they are born they will not keep us up as much as some of the more active womb babies. ha ha.
mommaj - Sunday, 6 Jan
whats the stork idea? am i an idiot??
mommaj - Sunday, 6 Jan
Dont worry. :) My baby doesnt seem to be as active as many of the others on this site. Just in the past few days her kicks have been getting harder and I am just now 30 weeks. Before that it seemed like her kicks were the same as when I started feeling her at around 20-22 weeks. And I feel her mostly at night still, just a little in the day. I asked my dr on thursday if it was normal that she goes for long periods of time in the day that I dont even feel her and she said of course it is normal, she is a baby and sleeps a lot like babies do. Your baby is perectly fine. I think about everything too much as well. It is natural...they are our little creations! keep in touch... :)
momoffive - Sunday, 6 Jan
as far as kick counts go, any movement at all counts...You pick a time of day when baby is usually the most active (after dinner is always good for me) lay down and count the wiggles squirms and such you feel in an hour....if you are feeling baby continiously throughout the day you don't really need to worry about kick counts...and know that baby will have quiet days and active days just like any other person has....I had a cord problem (discovered after her birth) and had to do kick counts with my second for the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy, it was very nerve wracking but really only needed if there is a suspected problem, otherwise it just causes anxiety...Best of luck and feel free to ask if you have any questions. I'm on my 4th baby so although not a profesional, definatly experienced.
mommaj - Sunday, 6 Jan
my dr told me I should count when I notice the baby is awake. I should feel her 10 times within the hour at least twice a day. Any less than that I should contact her. Hope that helps. Congrats!!
smurfmv - Sunday, 6 Jan
My doctor and I just had this convo. and he said the best time is really at night or any time that you have a while to just lay and relax. He said its best to sit with your feet up or lay down and you want to be able to count 5 kicks in 2 hours. Hope this helps.

Janna,
You are going to be the best momma! I can tell from the way you write.
Here are my favorite quotes. Thought I would share with you. Take care!!
'You wait a lifetime to meet Someone who understands you, accepts you as you are.
At the end, you find that Someone, all along, has been you.'
-Richard Bach
'You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.'
-Wayne Dyer
'Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there.
What you choose to do with them is up to you.'
-Richard Bach
'The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.'
-Anne Morrow Lindbergh
May you always remember how beautiful you are and that your life offers infinite possibilities.
Cheers :)Kim

hi, saw your comment on vip page about the big kicks, im definitley in the same boat as you, i only get a few huge knocks every once in a while and they give me a huge jolt trust me! but i usually dont feel too much movement as it is, maybe 10-12 movements all day.
coliflower - Sunday, 6 Jan
Hi Girl,
You are a very strong woman I have to say. I was reading what you said about the hole in your baby's heart and just wanted to let you know that last year my sister was pregnant with her first child and started having chest pains and a hard time breathing. She is a nurse so her nurse friends hooked her up to an ECG machine and found something was wrong. So off to the specialist she goes and he told her that she has two holes in her heart! She was a premie baby by 8 weeks so they think that she has had these holes her whole life and never found out about them because she never had put her body under the stress like that of pregnancy before. Also they just didn't have the technology or the knowledge back when she was born. They were going to operate on her but thought it might be best to just leave them be as they were not causing her any issues before this. So I just wanted to let you know that although hearing something like this can be a scary thing it doesn't have to be a terrible thing. I think you already know this though considering all that you have been through yourself. Congrats on your little girl and good luck with everything. :)
manzie91k - Sunday, 6 Jan
Hi, I was told to do my counts at the time of day that I know the baby moves a lot. Then if the baby is moving at the normal times you are more likely to notice something may be wrong.
