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?

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.
Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining but I could really use the support.
I've been around the forums a little over the last year or so but probably not enough for you to know who I am, so here is a little babckground.
July 2008 I found out I was pregnant for the first time and to our surprise it was twins, unfortunately I miscarried the first win that September. The surviving twin our daughter Isabel was stillborn at 30wks 5days on the 14th Feburary 2009. I became pregnant again a few months later and that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage on the 3rd August 2009.
I'm pregnant again with another girl, I'm just over 24wks and my EDD is the 3rd of August. SO many things about this pregnancy are getting to me, I bleed for 6wks during the first trimester, he doctors keep saying everything is ok, just like they did with Isabel. I have no living babies to even prove I can do this, it just feels inevitable that I will loss this one too, hell this baby is due on the date I lost one of it's siblings.
I'm so stressed and worried, and now I have another problem, my worries have turned into nightmares and I'm worried that the sleep deprivation is going to hurt this baby even more.
How do you control the anxiety?
How can I deal with the nightmares?
Hi KAM - I am so sorry for the journey you have travelled and the loss of your precious babies. You have found the best place to share your worries...everyone here is so understanding and supportive...I wish I could answer your question...day by day here...somedays ok others I'm terrified...but I always find it's so much better to share than keep it all bottled up...look forward to sharing your journey until you hold your little one in your arms!
Kam, I am so sorry that you have had to go through so much loss. Pregnancy is a very difficult journey for many of us. I had horrible nightmares with my last pregnancy. I had to take a very long nap every afternoon to catch up on sleep. The only thing that helped me through each day was knowing that I had some great doctors that were doing everything they could to keep my baby safe. I had weekly ultrasounds to check on my little ones fluid, growth, and movement. I also had non stress tests each week to check on bubs HB. Even with all of the extra monitoring, I was a mess. Take each day at a time, you will get there.
everyone
It has been a bit quiet in here.
Just wanted to let everyone know that my appt. went great today. bub was measuring perfectly and wiggling all over. I made my 12 week scan appt. I am going to try really hard to not think about the 17 week scan. It is a bit scary that it is so close already.
. and wow can't beleive only 8 weeks til a possible induction, wow its flying
