    Sarah, not amazing, just have that desperate yearning that most of us have. I'm glad you're here.

    Skybie, I ummed and ahhed about posting in here for weeks. Totally understandable about you wanting to be induced at 36weeks.

    2 and a half weeks DD! Yay! 50/50 is pretty good odds with a coarct. for her. Whatever other people think is irrelevant. What's in your heart matter the most.

    BAL I'm glad you have lots of support and are sitting on your bottom. I spent lots of time on bedrest last go. It sucks. I have been taking it easy...well easier than normal, since DH lives away and I just have to manage on my own. Have stopped going to the gym much to my dismay but the cramping is not something I feel like dealing with ATM.

    Saw the Ob today. What a lovely drive to hospital it was with gastro lol. But she understood my anxiety about this week and got the student to have a play with the u/s machine. Nice little heart beat, moving a lot. And turns out those little movements I thought were wind are actually me feeling bub, which is kinda cool. She congratulated DS on how lucky he was to be alive after she read my notes lol. Not so reassuring after I was trying to downplay the whole scenario in my head.
    She's going to start having my scar scanned at the morphology scan.

    Thought i might pop my head in here & say Hi.

    I suffer from a chronic illness which was diagnosed when i was 18 so 8yrs ago now, it can make pregnancy more complicated then it should be.
    I've been very lucky that my Illness has stayed in remission since we found out & fx it stays in remission.
    Our may concern is that medication i'm on is sucking all the calcium out of me & my Vit D levels keep dropping even with extra vitamins i'm taking, My iron & Hb levels are also dropping fast which means i'll need an iron/blood transfusion just before birth or right after birth.
    On the positive everything with Bambi is looking good, no cleft was seen at our u/s & she is ahead for dates so i'm really happy the medication didn't have any effect on her.

    Well I'm back again, freaky that this time last year I was chatting in the support thread, DD is now 8 months old and I'm 10wks 2d pregnant with our little surprise baby #3, I'll be high risk again because of the GD with DD, multiple first trimester losses (I've passed my magic number of 8 weeks now so FXed it won't happen) and an irritable uterus (which as already started to cause trouble), at least it won't be because of the c-sec I had with DS because I got my VBAC with DD so proud of myself for that, and it was a short labour of 4hrs 43min after my OB broke my waters at 40+2

    I also have a large 6cm cyst on my ovary that no one thinks is serious enough to monitor for some reason even though it causes me a lot of pain gives me constant lower abdominal tenderness that makes ultrasounds (and even going to the toilet) extremely painful. Any pressure on my lower belly really hurts

    My 12wk scan is on the 21st at 9am, and I also see my OB the same day ta 11am, so FXed the cyst has shrunk and not grown and bub is perfect and healthy and wriggling around like crazy

    Hi everyone!
