Ker - welcome sweetie. I am sorry for your losses but am so excited for you - 5 weeks - awesome. I know its scary right now but have hope.
You find it by going to the forums heading/link at the top of the page, then miscarriage/loss heading, then pregnancy after stillbirth/late loss/ recurrent or whatever thread you want.
ugh, ligamanet pain has started. I know that it is a good thing and means that baby is growing well. I knew that it was going to be bad this time around but I was hoping that it would hold off a little while longer. I guess I didn't give my body enough time to heal.
Kerr, welcome...I too am so sorry for your losses...you have found a wonderful group of ladies here...I'd be lost without them!
Laney...I sooooo hear you on giving your body time to recover...I feel like I'm falling apart lol! Back is stuffed...shooting pain down the leg and convinced bub is trying to dig it's way out through my belly button!!! Could have something to do with miss a sticking sultanas in there...I am amazed how she knows what is going on...and continues to be so kind to me
Hope everyone is well...counting down the days...can't remember if I mentioned cs booked for 14th May...one month today

: spelling
Laney - I hear you. My pains are in my hips and I feel old and decrepit. I did expect it as after my losses I had bad ligament pain, but it doesn't prepare you for the onslaught. I asked the ob about it and he said relaxin kicks in from 6 weeks. Where are yours?
Ellie - the mental image of litle sultanas being wedged into your belly button by Miss A, is a really nice one. It is so sweet huh?
Can I ask I question? Has this pregnancy had more hope and slightly less anxiety for you compared to Miss A's? Does getting to hold you miracle bub make it easier to get through this pregnancy?
OMG I just reread your post - 14 May! AWESOME. That is so close.
AFM - 17 weeks today! All ok. Can't beleive that number applies to me. My Mum actually asked me if I could feel the baby moving today. It was kinda cool, as no one except for DH and the Ob asks me about the pregnancy itself in the way that I hear people asking other women.I tend to get, "how are things going?" I understand why, they are scared of getting sad news. But it also means I miss out on the experience of that stuff. Does that happen to anyone else?
Anyway, I made myself laugh in this post. Already thinking about my next pregnancy when still so far to go in this one. Crazy. Hope springs eternal.
Dory - Congrats on 17 weeks! Sux that people treat you differently but I guess they are just trying to do 'the right thing'...whatever that is???
I think the main difference for me this time is I know my body can do it...but I still worry every minute that bub is quiet...have drunk alot of fizzy drinks this time to get it moving lol. But in all honesty I think I'm still in denial mainly because I'm so busy with miss a...I'm still so scared of having my heart broken again...praying like mad and longing to be on the otherside...with another earth baby...please no more angel babies!!! Hang in there my friend...we're all here on this rollercoaster with you xxx
wow dory! 17 weeks! When is your next appt.? I know that you must have them often.
Most of my pains are on the sides of my legs (under my belly) and hips. They have gotten worse with each pregnancy. I think they did get a little bit better around 30 weeks or so but then the other pains set in.
Also, people are very very careful about how they ask me about my pregnancies. Most people say nothing at all. Others ask "so how is everything going?" I think that is so I can tell them as much or as little as i want. It isn't very personal and It wont make me emotional. A safe question in a way.
Ellie, so excited that we have a day to count down to. 30 days!
