Theresa, great that your little Zarian is home and doing well! Woo!
Sending prayers to Diane, great that Fabian is doing so well, too! I bet she can't wait to get him home though
Beata, Berry & Mummabec, how are you guys doing? Berry can't remember if I congratulated you on your NT Scan results! Wooot!
Beata, I would imagine you have a scan coming up soon?
AFM, Chugging along quite nicely. I have another scan on Wednesday as there was a shot of our little mans heart that was missed at th 19 week scan by the sonographer that my new Dr isn't happy with, and wants to get which is excellent (Seeing a new Dr as my old one didn't do deliveries and did a hand over once I went over 20 weeks) I like that he is being so thorough - he also went over a few things with me about the preg with Jayvan and his birth and It was noticable that he had taken the time to read through my notes properly before my appointment which I was quite impressed with as well!
Called the Hospital today and have a booking in interview on the 8th of October to have a tour of the Maternity Ward and also get ready & booked in for Antenatal classes. :d
Boofhead, as I lovingly call him Has been practicing his summersaults! I can watch my stomach contort into all these weird shapes as he moves around. I keep telling him to make the most of it, because there isn't going to be much room in there for too much longer
Getting married in 3 weeks! I keep wondering what the hell I'm going to do once the wedding is over and this bubby is earthside... then I remember I'll have a newborn to keep my busy
Theresa, I'm so glad your little man is finally home with you, you must be a very busy mummy now! Enjoy your special time together
Teagz, so cut to be getting all these summersaults! Can't wait to feel my bubs move. I know first come the flutters, which I haven't really felt yet, but I know second time around bubs can be felt moving about 17 weeks??? With Josh, I didn't feel him move until 20 weeks. I have my 13 wk scan on Friday so can't wait to see bubbie again, I had a quick scan last week as I met my new OB for the first time, and he happened to have a machine in his office, bubbie was soooo cute moving around, and so much bigger than the last scan at 7 weeks!
Megan, I know what you mean about being nervous about telling people, but I am trying to stay positive every day, and when I get a funny feeling or cramping I tell myself it's my uterus streching! Then I don't worry as much, and then I feel OK. I've really started to pop out, so I plan start telling family from next week but people at work kind of guessed and now just waiting on my confirmation...I think they are too scared to ask after what happened last year. Hope everything is well with you hun!
Hi Laney, Bec and anyone else I missed!
AFM, still feeling a bit sick with ms, not really bringing anything up as such, but the nausea still hits about 3 pm on most days, yucky taste in my mouth on and off. I really hope I'm not too far away from feeling great!!!! lol. This morning I bounced out of bed, and then dry retched in the bathroom I haven't done that in ages!
Anyway, will let you know how my scan goes on Friday I think I might be 3 days ahead of my due date, they'll tell me for sure on Friday...
Oh, I forgot to say Teagz, wow!!! 3 weeks till your wedding!!! Woohoo! Are you getting excited now? I still haven't started planning mine, I really think the eloping idea is looking good, he he, no pressure and we'll come back from a holiday married!!! Ha! Mum would have a heart attack
Hi Beata, all the best for your scan tomorrow. I am sure you will feel so relieved once its finished and you get that great news! Glad your work colleagues are too scared to ask if your pg - lol! I think its rude to ask someone before they announce it. It is nice when you can start telling people, I am feeling more comfortable with it now - exciting that you are telling your family from next week.
Teagz, 3-weeks to go, oh my gosh, I remember when you set the date! You will look so beautiful with your bump, I'm sure Are you getting photo's of your bump? A friend showed me photo's of a friend of hers who had photo's taken when she was heavily pg, she had a wrap around her boobs & below her bump, they were really beautifully done. All the best finalising your plans.
I can't wait to feel my baby move! I never felt Jasmine, she was so tiny and I never got far enough I hope this little one is active, will be so nice. I have another scan next week to check the heart. Really praying all is still well. As it gets close I get a bit nervous again.
Megan, I know what you mean about getting nervous about upcoming scans, etc, but you have nothing to worry about hun, your 12 week scan was perfect! That is such a huge milestone and relief in anyone's book! I'm sure you'll be fine hun, but I will be thinking of you and have my fingers crossed for you anyway, I know you won't need it!
I hope you'll start feeling your bub move soon, I read somewhere that for second pg it's sooner than 20 weeks, more like from week 17 or something. Not sure if that's true though.....I am waiting for my 'flutters' he he. With Joshua, I felt him kick at 20 weeks, so only really enjoyed it for a few days, but nevertheless, it was magical and I'll trasure those memories forever. I am so blessed and grateful that I got to feel him move around at all.
Teagz, on the big countdown to the big day!! Woohoo! You're probably so busy now, tying up any lose ends and so forth. I hope it's a very beautiful and special day for you both (and your little guy!) and I can't wait to see some pics
AFM, had my scan yesterday and I was worried about the thickness of the skin fold on the bub's neck, but the lady said it's very thin and she was saying she is very happy with the nasal bone as well which is excellent. I won't get my final results (bloods combined with u/s) until monday as the OB finished early on Friday....oh well. Otherwise, I was really relieved and feel automatically better.....it's all psycological isn't it??? I am officailly 13 weeks today, yeepee!!!!! Feeling relieved that it's all ticking along nicely, even m/s is starting to ease up a bit .
Hi to everyone else, and I hope everyone has a great weekend
Hi ladies
Only seems like I just left this thread...and I'm back! Still can't believe it myself. We have a long way to go ...step one...scan in 2 weeks to rule out another ectopic and check for heartbeat...one step at a time!
Teagz, I notice from your sig that you'll be down to double digits soon!
And all the very best for your wedding. How completely exciting!!
Beata, yay for your scan results.
Berry, all the best for your scan. Hope you feel your baby move soon! I can't remember when I've felt mine.
Ellie, welcome back! I had an early scan for the first time this pregnancy and it was great to see a little heartbeat, and baby in the right spot. Hope it happens for you this time.
AFM, I'm in no hurry to feel this baby more as I have regrets about not going to emergency when Luca was moving less when I got to the start of 35 weeks and I really don't know how I'll cope. On the other hand it's meant to be bonding so maybe (hopefully) it will be.
I had blood tests for the usual antenatal screening and for Downs the other day. 12 week scan is in a couple of weeks. I've never had that one before - I only had the 20 week scan with my first two. Hopefully the results will be good enough to relax about.
I've told most people I'm pregnant now, as at 10 weeks I'm already showing heaps. I've had to wear maternity pants and skirts since 6 weeks. Maybe my body remembers being pregnant not so long ago. I've been honouring Luca's memory by telling everyone I'm pregnant 'again'. It really does seem like I was just pregnant.
I bought a lovely ring to remember Luca by. I bought it on ebay and when I picked it up from the post office I was rapt - it's perfect. I wanted a ring like the sun, as Luca means light. There's a picture if anyone wants to check it out. Rebecca Gelsi's Photos | Facebook
Bec- the ring is beautiful. What a nice way to remember Luca.
Ellie! So glad to see you back in here so soon.
beata- I felt good movements with Grayson around 15/16 weeks and I am on the heavier side. Glad to hear that your scan went well.
Teagz, I can't wait to see some wedding pictures.
Just wait until you are 9 months pregnant and your bub decides to turn. Some how they find the room. It starts to really hurt!
Hi ladies
I haven't been in for ages and just came in now to sticky beak on you all and see that so much has happened!
Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Theresa and Diana on the birth of their precious babies. I hope Fabian is home with you soon Diana. I totally missed the news of his birth sorry; what a rocky road you have been travelling but hopefully it is all smooth sailing from here on.
Beata - congrats on the great u/s on Friday. Hope Mondays appt brings you even more peace of mind. And yay, 2nd trimester!! Hopefully the m/s will ease up for you soon now too.
Ellie - congrats on the new pg! As much as I can't wait to have another baby, I am in no real rush to go through the stress of the pg again any time soon! Good luck with your early scan.
Teagz - good luck with the upcoming wedding! Doesn't seem like that long ago you were trying to pick a wedding dress and now it is only a few weeks away till you get to wear it!
Berry - good luck with your scan this week.
Hi to all the other ladies and those I didn't meet before I "graduated" - good luck with the journey ahead.
AFM, Kaitlyn is still filling our lives with so much joy and love and I feel so incredibly blessed to have her. The time seems to be just speeding by and I have no idea what I do with my time now but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Take care everyone x
I just wanted to drop in and let those of you who knew me (and any others :P ) know that I'm 32 weeks and seem to be going strong. They'll take the stitch out at 36 weeks which is exciting but I have to say I am starting to run through all types of scenarios now. But anyway, I see the Ob in a week and he has an ultrasound machine in his rooms so hopefully he'll put my mind at rest for another couple of weeks at least.
Hopefully next message I'll be announcing the birth of my boy.
I hope everyone is well and Nae Nae and Diana - would love to hear from you (not that I don't want to hear from anyone else, I just knew the most about you girls and our dates were all just a day or two apart).
Morning girls! Sorry I have been missing in action the last, aah... week it seems! Oops
Thanks for all the well wishes! Wedding is only 11 days away!! I can't believe how quick it's come up...
Unfortunately, you can't tell I'm pregnant in my dress I still love it though... I had some drama's with it too where it was delivered in the wrong size, i had ordered a bigger size to accomodate belly, and they sent me my orginal size! Thankfully because it's lace up I fit into it, and if need be the lady doing the alterartions is able to let it out about 3 inches at the side seems. Phew. She reckons it's a blessing really because the bigger size would have been much too big... but anyway I'm rambling...
Beata! Woo about the scan! Knew you wouldn't need my luck I started feeling bubs move around 17 weeks, but I didn't know it til about 19 weeks. I think you'll start feeling your little one a lot earlier, especially when you got to feel Joshua so you know what to look out for. Woo, I'm so excited that everything is going so well for you! Glad the m/s is starting to ease a bit too.
Berry :hugs: I never got to feel Jayvan either... I'm sure everything will go amazing at your scan next week, too!
Bec, I was perving on your ring a couple of nights ago on FB. It's gorgeous. When I was pregnant with Jayvan I bought a "maternity ring' hehe to celebrate. It is the biggest bluest topaz I could lay my little hands on, after I lost Jayvan I couldn't wear it for a while and kept it with his ashes, but now I don't take it off. I always imagine him in Heaven bouncing on clouds in a nice bright blue sky whenever I look at it (:
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses "agains" and "another" I've been sprung a few times when I tell people who don't know how history that we're having "another" boy... always turns into an awkward conversation.
Laney, I'll be putting up some pictures for sure! hehe
ALM, glad little Kaitlyn is going well and making you so happy! They do grow fast, hey! She'll have a drivers license before you know it haha
Jos, wow 32 weeks! You were a bit of a speed of light in the TTC thread So glad that everything is going smoothly! And forget about the scenarios.. they're not gonna happen!
AFM, Wedding plans are pretty much all good to go. Bridesmaids and Groomsmen just need to get themselves some shoes!
Little boofhead is going well, we had that scan to catch those missed shots of his heart last week and everything looks perfect
He's a little wriggle guts and the last few days has put on a good show for DF, kicking and wriggling around and what not which is great because Df usually misses them! Starting to get a few ouchies... like at the moment I have a bit of a spazm/pinch happening where my leg sort of joins up to my pubic bone ><; But it's worth it!
Does anyone else have moments where they go to call their earth babies their angel babies name? I've done it a couple of times now... it's never come all the way out though but it makes me feel so horrible, like this is Jayvan's little replacement when He's most certainly not!
to everyone, I hope they're all growing nice a big xx
Hi Teagz, I haven't called the baby in my belly Luca yet but I have accidently referred to him or her as he, even though we don't know the sex yet. I do worry a little that this means in some way I think it's Luca or want it to be Luca, but only a little, because it's only natural to want all our babies. I'm sure it's just part of the wanting. Our new bubs will have their own emerging personality and identity and will be loved for themselves, and our lost babies will never be forgotten either.
Has been practicing his summersaults! I can watch my stomach contort into all these weird shapes as he moves around. I keep telling him to make the most of it, because there isn't going to be much room in there for too much longer 
to all! Hope you're all well xx
I haven't done that in ages!
I think I might be 3 days ahead of my due date, they'll tell me for sure on Friday...
I hope this little one is active, will be so nice. I have another scan next week to check the heart. Really praying all is still well. As it gets close I get a bit nervous again. 
.
How completely exciting!!
I can't believe how quick it's come up...
I'll be putting up some pictures for sure! hehe
