Pregnancy After Stillbirth/Recurrent Miscarriage/Late Loss February 2009

[AngelLukesmum]

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

Hi girls,

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).

Much love to you all, Jos xxx

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.

xx Bec.
