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!
How is everyone going?
Dory i cant believe that you are 17 weeks already!! so glad your mum asked... must feel nice!
Laney i hope your pains ease soon... i have no ideas to help sorry..
Ellie sooooo close! wow the count down is on!
AFM i am freaking out right now. I have my first scan tomorrow morning... i am trying to be happy but it is hard... I have to have it at the very place i found out Kyarna had died. i asked when i booked if i could please be in a different rooma t least and the lady on the phone was so rude. Told me that they cant accomidate everyone who had misscarried and i will have to deal with it if it happens. I wonder what makes people so rude..
anyways just having my little freak out here.. im sure everything will be fine!
Glad to meet you, but sorry to find that we all have a sad common ground.
I have now had 2 HCG tests, which were both very good!!
at 4 weeks: 184 and
at 5 weeks: 3351
I am having another one next week to ease my mind before my first scan. Eek!
(I have had 'normal' HCG's before with no baby... so it is comforting, but I still want to see my little Tiger!
I do not really have any symptoms yet, except for being quite worn out, and after some days (especially nannying the 3 and 5 year old boys I do part time) I could go to sleep at any time. And have been in bed by 830 most nights, which my husband finds hilarious!
So me being a Newb... questions... do you guys mainly post in this thread for 'worry's' around being pregnant, or are there other threads I am missing.
Do most of you also post in the 'normal' threads around due dates?
i feel like there are so many options, i am not sure where to begin.
And I made a ticker in LillyPie, but when I copied the URL to my signature it said 'BB code not allowed or something???
And any good suggestions where I can find memorial type stuff to add to my signature also?
kerr - welcome, i'm so very sorry for your losses, i hope you find support and comfort with these beautiful ladies, in helping you through this pregnancy. Just post where you feel comfortable, most of us in this thread post our worries in here, cause most of us can relate to those fears, but if you also feel comfortable in the bellybuddy threads post there too, some of us and some of us dont. i guess here you might find more compassion and understanding, as many of the ladies in here will have been trhough something similar. hugs to you and hoping this is a happy and healthy pg for you.
dory - congrats on getting to 17 weeks, your doing so well. and a yay for your mum asking about your pg. do you have a scan coming up?
ellie - wow so close, 14th may, time will fly, its the day before my ds 2nd birthday so a good time of year to be born
mummyof4 - good luck with your scan today, will be thinking of you. how very rude of the lady on the phone, i would see if i could speak to her supervisor and just ask her to be a little more compassionate, i'm sure if she's like it its not the first time she'll have been "spoken to".
laney - ouchies on the ligament pain, i hear you, but like you said its a good sign that bub is growing. how is everything else going? hows beautiful grayson?
hi to everyone i missed - belly rubs to all
afm - sorry been MIA the last few weeks, internet and phone line is down at home so been enjoying some uninterrupted time with ds. house goes up for auction next weekend and trying to find somewhere new to live, so hasn't left me much time to worry about reuben, which can only be a good thing . and wow can't beleive only 8 weeks til a possible induction, wow its flying
Just quickly popping in to say a huge congrats to Dory on 17 weeks!!!! Such a quiet achiever aren't you hun??? It would be NICE to se a pg ticker though, lol!
Hi to everyone else, sounds like you're all travelling nicely. Keep it up!!! I'm still very tired every day pretty much, motherhood is HARD (but very rewarding of course )!!!!!!! OK, enough of my whingeing!
Kerr, your hcg levels look good. I hope your first scan goes well and you see a tiny little HB! Feel free to chat about whatever you like in here. I think the worry about pregnancy comes up often because it is a safe place to share those fears. I find that a lot of people that have not had a loss have a hard time understanding what I am going through.
your ticker needs to have the url address that ends with img/url. I hope that helps, I know that there are a lot of options.
klee, your ticker is moving right along! I still can't believe that you are taking on a big move right now! I hope it keeps you really busy and you can't find any time to worry.
beata, it gets easier! You will sleep through the night again! I can't promise that it will be every night but it will happen.
)!!!!!!! OK, enough of my whingeing!
