How scary Lysndan, glad all is ok.. If anyone didn't see my thread I had a scare too, started bleeding at work on Fri night, didn't want to wait in emergency all night so waited til next morning, went to docs and had a scan done, bubs fine but placenta is over the cervix which is what caused the bleed. So scary.. I am 10wks so still a long way to go and plenty of time for the placenta to move which I really hope it does. Button was waving on the U/S it was so good to see!
Dory - Sorry you are having to CC with Hannah. I hope it's all going ok. Not quite 12wks yet. Brisbane next Monday then scan the week after I would say..
blessedatlast, i have had bleeding in 3 of my pregnancies. When i was pregnant with Grayson the placenta was low and i had bleeding until week 30. It was so scary. I hope your placenta moves up!
Dory, i tried the controlled crying for about 30 minutes with Grayson and i just couldn't do it. Our bedtime routine is horrible because of my failure.
LysnDan, i have ovarian pain during early pregnancy too. I have had large cysts on my ovaries that grew to the size of a grapefruit. I now take progesterone every night until the 12 week mark to keep it under control.
JennaJayen, so sorry to hear your news.
jlk, i am excited that you are thinking about joining the group again! I had no idea that you were ready to add another to your family.
AngelicDragon, how is everything?
AFM, i still have not been able to schedule my first scan. The doctor's office has been very slow! I think that i will call them again and bother them for an appt.
Blessed - but almost 12 weeks, so close you can touch it!
LnD - sorry about your scare, but good you got to see your little one! 5 weeks!
Laney - you sound so calm and in control with this preg, so far. Well done. Can't wait to hear your scan news. Don't beat yourself up with extra guilt. We each do what is right for us.
I just read an article on BB that now has me feeling so miserable with myself about controlled crying. I didn't leave Hannah to cry it out during our 2 sessions, but the article reinforced my own beliefs that I was abandoning her during the process. Anyway, we have sort of shelved it. We are still trying to stick to a routine so I am not feeding her to sleep though, which was the main aim of the the process. That seems to be working. But I won't be trying CC anymore. Like Miss B said, it's just not her style, and it's not mine either. I knew that before I started, so I am not sure why I did it.
Judy - how are you? Every moment is a blessing.
JLK - hugs to you and Tehya.
Beata - cant wait til you convince DH that a cycle should happen SOON! I like you would love to be in here in our own right rather than just stalking.
It's strange how the little things can be so hard. Last night we put Hannah's cot down to the lowest setting. I felt unbelievably sad ( shes not a little baby anymore and so much of my life has been about babies lately) and guilty ( she looked so low and far away). Crazy huh? But it had to be done, she sat herself up from her tummy yesterday. Anyway, got to be off, I am meeting my mum and aunt with downs syndrome today. They are coming to town for a medical appointment for my aunt, so I am going to take the chance to see them and I need to prepare.
Oh just before I go, Hannah and I went to visit Amelia, Nicholas and Sophie's garden the other day. It was just the best day. Took the picnic rug, sat in the shade of the two treee in their garden, the sky was blue and it was just amazing. Wish I didn't have to do it in the first place, but that's like all o us in here. WE have a weird new reality, those of us with forever babies.
Hi everyone
Lysndan sorry for the scare you had. Any sort of bleeding or spotting is so darned scary with what we have been through. Has it stopped completely now?
Laney an early scan can be sad too.. I am delaying my first scan because I just got so sad after seeing heartbeats so many times then a few weeks later it is all over. I am now in blissful ignorance. My daughter had her scan today. She is 6w1d yet they did an abdominal scan and said 1) her bladder wasn't full enough and 2) it was too small to measure but they could see a sac and yolk and put her at around 4wks and told her to come back in 2 weeks time. They never even suggested an internal scan and I know that particular practise always muck up the early scans before 8 wks.
Dory, Your picnic with your angels sounds like it was in lovely weather. Luckily we never ha dto cc with Daniel as he is excellent at going to bed and doesn't get out of bed either if he wakes up. He is now in a normal single bed in his own room. I did try CC with our other children but they would get too worked up so we'd stop.
JLK I hope you do get to join in here and Beata
Blessed I had a low placenta with Nic and heavy bleeding for 2 wks at around 11 wks and then spotted until 23 wks but by then it had moved and Nick was a natural quick delivery (2 hrs and the whole labour was just like braxton hicks ctx). Daniel I had a low placenta that never moved fully out the way until 34 wks. But the only bleeding I had with him was when AF was due and i thought I had m/c before even gettnig to first base.
AFM had a shocking ehadache all day today. The last few days I have nausea on and off but no feeling of being sick, just off colour more than anything. Still have very sore bbs and definitely fuller. You are right every moment is precious and so far have made it to 6w1d when I never even thought I would ever seea BFP again.
Dory, I didn't mean to make you feel bad about the CC method, so if I did I'm really sorry hun!! I also don't want you to feel miserable about it either! Sometimes we have to try things out if we're looking at improving a situation. I have tried it too! I have tried so many things with Cam, some worked, some didn't, sometimes I've felt guilty/bad for trying something I wasn't comfortable with doing, but I did it because I wanted to improve things for my sake. I would continually feed and rock wee man to sleep for months and months. I was sometimed going insane and would give anything a go. You are doing such an amazing job with HB hun, I would never believe that you would intentionally abandon your little girl! So go easy on yourself hun, it looks like things are improving anyway. Big hugs to you lovely.
Laney, hope you can get your first scan booked in soon!
Blessed, I'll keep everything crossed for your 12 week scan. My, how the time is whizzing by!!
Judy, every day you are pg is a blessing isn't it? I am sorry for all the angels you have lost hun, and I can really feel the fear and anxiety in your posts hun, but with each passing day I hope the fear and anxiety disappears and you are able to enjoy your pg more and more. It's so uncanny your daughter is pg too, that is so amazing to be sharing such a lovely journey together, GL to you both.
Hello to LJK, LysnDan, anyone else??
Well, I am getting one step closer to hopefully being in here! After many talks with DF, I have finally twisted his arm and we will be attempting a cycle this year for sure. I have gone ahead and made an app. with my FS and will get him to run a BT to determine my egg reserve (I had one done in Oct last year and it was normal for my age - egg reserve is done to see how many eggs you still have, considering I am already 41). I want to see how much has changed in 8 months. I also want him to do an u/s to see if my fibroids have grown at all and do all the other BT checks to see all is well. I need to put on a few kilos, as I am much lighter now than before I was pg last, and I need to make sure I am in the best possible shape for a cycle. So keep your fingers and toes crossed for me ladies!
angelicdragon, i thought about not having an early scan. I think my doctor usually does them because i am taking blood thinners. It is important to see that the pregnancy is in the right place. I am having some pregnancy symptoms. My BB's hurt and don't fit into my bra very well and i now have to get up at night to pee. I am not sick yet, that usually starts around 8 weeks.
I really can't believe they would even try anything other than an internal ultrasound at 6 weeks! I think my doctor only does internal scans before 12 weeks. It just causes more worry! I hope everything looks good for DD in 2 weeks.
Miss.B, i can't wait to hear how your appt. goes!
Dory, i do feel pretty calm about everything right now. I'm sure that will change when i have my first scan booked.
Ultrasound tomorrow at 12:30. I will be 6 weeks 1 day. Bothering them paid off The tech is going to have a fit! She hates it when they schedule me before 8 weeks.
Judy - yay for preg symptoms! I am so so very happy for you..... forgive me if this question brings up painful memories, but what are your milestone gestations? I think 6 weeks is super exciting, but I know it's hard to feel that way when you are so fearful and expecting heartache. Praying that this time is different.
Miss B - nah you didn't make me feel bad... it was more like you said, I was doing something I wasn't entirely comfortable with. I should have just followed my instincts. But it's just a learning process. YAY for twisting DH's arm. I am hoping those naughty fibroids are goneski and there are loads of eggies left for a 41'er!
Laney - I am loving your preg symptoms and YAY for a scan. The tech will get over it, but I know what you mean, expecting that just sorts of adds more anxiety huh? Thinking of you. Hope the nerves aren't too bad! I like to get in with the medical side of things early, for me, having the care and genuine concern of the obs, plus the reassurrance, although limited, can give is important. For me, it's one of the ways I can actually acknowledge the pregnancy, and now with my having had HELLP my BP etc will be monitored even more closely.
Blessed - how are you going? It's a pretty scary time huh? But so exciting too? Are you showing yet? Ohh, you have no idea how excited I am.
I think I just have babies on my brain...... ah there's worse huh? Belly rubs you all you beautiful mummas nuturing a precious life inside.
spotting here too
my most noticeable m/c are at 5w4d, 5w6d, 7w, 8w4d, 9w and 11w4d and then Annabelle at 31 wks
sorry, feeling a bit too down to post more
Judy - hoping this spotting is different.... hugs sweetie..... it must just be heart wrenching.... you're in my thoughts. And thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it.
Judy, I have my fingers crossed, it is just a little spotting and nothing more! I am thinking of you. Please keep us posted.
LysnDan, i had a lot of spotting with grayson, he is here and healthy. I hope it is nothing.
I feel bad posting about my scan There was a baby and we saw a heart beat. Measured 3 days behind my dates but i always do at these early scans. Baby was nice and high so i shouldn't have to deal with much bleeding if any. It is super early so anything can still happen. I go in for another scan in 2 weeks.
yesterday it was brown and today it's pinky/red 
to us all and 
for those that want to be in here officially, not just stalking
