Pregnancy After Stillbirth/Recurrent Miscarriage/Late Loss September 2009

[Miss.B]

Hello ladies,

Laney, thanks sweetie. It is geting easier with Pooky gone, but I just so wish she was here to meet my little guy. So happy for you that all is going well so far! Woohoo to no bleeding!! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you for all your tests and scans, I pray that this pg goes well for you hun. GL with your your BT today!

Megan, so good to hear from you hun!! You've been on my mind heaps lately, I know you're a couple of weeks ahead of me so I thought maybe you're having your bub now! Can't wait for him/her to be born, and to find out what you're had! The feeling in my waters is a wee girl Hope you don't have to get induced, but if you do Teagz's experience with it was really good so don't worry. Sending you some good, strong labour vibes!!

Ellie, I'm sorry you're feeling so rotten ATM. Hope it gets better for you soon. I can't imagine how hard it all is with a one year old to look after and having the awful m/s AND a sore back! Ouch! So glad everything is going well with your bub though and I hope your placenta moves up at your 32 week scan. GL and big hugs!

Klee, thanks hun. I know what you mean about worrying constantly with the 'too much' and then 'too little' movement from bub! One day my little man was going absolutely bezerk, and I kept thinking maybe he had a bit of trouble with his cord ...then another day he was really quiet and I kept worrying and poking him to try to get him to move. It never stops! Now that I'm so close to my c/s next week, I keep checking that he's moving regularly, I would rather have him out safely now I think.....Don't worry about the heart palpitations, I had heaps of those too earlier on, especially when I could still lie on my back.

Mummabec, Pooky loved to sit right on top of me purrying into my belly! When bub is born, he'll be looking for the soothing sound, I'll have to do the purrying myself I think! lol. I'm so glad your fluid levels are good and that bub is head down. Not really long to go for you too! It must have been very emotional to have the scan in the same room as the one you found out Luca had gone, I went to the same place a couple of times for my scans where I had my 20 week scan with Joshua, and only days later he was gone too. Was very hard & emotional for me too. GL with the rest of your pg and I can't wait to hear all about it!

Starbright, have fun at your cousin's hens night

Dory, I hope you're going well hun, when is your 12 weeks scan? GL with it hun, I'm sure it will be all good.

Hi to angelicdragon, Teagz, jlk, hope all is good with you ladies.

OK, I think I might go back to bed now, I got up at 4 am as I couldn't sleep

Hi

Just popping in to wish Beata all best for her c/s this week!! I have been popping in every now and again to see how you were doing. So sorry to hear about your furry friend; I know how much they become part of your family and it is heartbreaking when we lose them

Also, a big congrats to Laney for her BFP! I am one of those who got AF type cramping early in pg too so try not to worry, it is pretty common. Good luck with your BT.

Kaitlyn will be 1 very soon (can't believe it!) & we might start thinking about another baby later this year. Having to go through another stitch & possible bedrest is too stressful to think about right now as I am just loving lapping up as much of my little girl as possible. I also head back to work in a few months p/t so that will be a rude shock to my system!

All the best to all the other brave mummies in this group and I will keep an eye out for your big news Beata.

Jo xx

Berry, The first two weeks are pretty daunting, but then all of a sudden you land into a "routine" (and I use that term losely!) and you find you've become a bit of a pro! You'll be a gorgeous mummy, don't worry! I hope things get kick starting on their own soon so you can avoid an induction, but in saying that they can also turn into that birth that you always wanted. Mine did. So, try to relax, sleep alot, read alot, watch alot of TV and make people do everything for you! Don't think about labour... I think that was what my biggest mistake was! I tried almost every natural labour inducing remedy out! Whatever happens is meant to be, sweets, i can't wait to see your BA xx

Beata, THREE MORE DAYS!! Oh, I'm so excited, I have goose bumps... do you have FB? I need to add you so I can stalk all the pictures of your gorgeous little man ^^;

Klee, the baby talk is wonderful. I don't know what I love more, his yabbering or when he gives me a big grin when I walk into his room the first thing in the morning. Hell, he's even cute when he drops his bottom lip and squawks at me XD

[Miss.B]

Hi Jo!! Thanks hun, it's so nice of you to pop in! Yes, 2 more sleeps and I'll be able to meet my wee man. Getting a bit nervous but looking forward to meeting my bubba. I've pretty much done everything I need to do, now it's just a waiting game....Can't belive Kaitlyn will be 1 soon! All I can say the time is just flying by..So exciting that you'll be trying again, I want to as well probably in 6 months or so if all goes well that is. Time is of essence to me as I'll be the big 40 in May...

Teagz, I'm nervous hun!! Wish I could wake up and be holding bubba in my arms without the c/s ha ha. I am on FB but hardly go on, you can look me up it's Beata Odrobinska. I don't even know how to put pictures on FB ha ha, but my friend Kirsty will put some on there from hossy. Thanks for checking up on me too hun, you're a sweetie How is little Jackson?

[Laney]

beata, don't worry too much about the c/s. Mine was not too bad at all. I was so nervous about it that I asked for extra drugs after it was over and then it was really hard to hold Grayson Try to stay calm. I was up and around the next day taking a much wanted/needed shower. I felt really good in 2 weeks and great in 4.

Jo, I know what a very hard decision it is to make. I want to enjoy Grayson right now but I am so afraid to wait to have another bub. I hope that you have lots of family and friends around you to lend a hand if needed. I know that you are going to want to take it easy at the very least when pregnant again.
Good luck with going back to work. I can't even imagine how stressful that has to be for the first couple of weeks.

AD, I am thinking of you today. I have my fingers crossed for 2 healthy little bubs in there.

Hey all,

[helle]

Teagz, I'm nervous hun!! Wish I could wake up and be holding bubba in my arms without the c/s ha ha. I am on FB but hardly go on, you can look me up it's Beata Odrobinska.

Done! I mean the FB adding ><; It's nice to put faces to names I must say...
Jackson is good! He's sitting next to me now making kissy noises... he just started doing it this morning so being a new thing it's all he's doing atm haha. He's 2 months old today! (well 8 weeks...) So sad, they grow so quick.

[angelicdragon]

Todays scan showed we should have had identical twins. The 2nd sac never developed and for some reason being a blood connection with the other twin it stalled growth on baby A who has also now left us at 9w1d. I go in for a D&C tomorrow morning, have to be there at 6:30am.
Please forgive me if I go quiet for a while
Jude

[Michelle71]

JLK - I am so with you there. Still very, very scared.

Hi girls. I have been stalking a few lovely ladies who have been with me through my last pregnancies. Will continue to pop in to say hello.

[dory]

Angelic - I will light a candle for you and your family and your babies. I am so so sorry and wish I could take away your pain. Take all the time you need, Know you are loved and supported. Go gently.

Beata - I wrote in another thread about how excited I am for you. I am still am. OMG, I am so excited for you. Good to hear you are coping better about Pooky puss.

My scan is tomorrow, 8.30am. Am excited.

You will fly through your c/s and be holding your little man before you know it. You will be one of the lucky ones who recover from a c/s quickly. Enjoy the "eve of your c/s".

AFM... All is going pretty ok here... it seems the crazy lady left me and multiplied and took over everyone else.. sorry bout that!! I am sure she will be back home soon.
I am off to canberra this weekend for my cousins hens night- we are doing a ghost tour of canberra- it should be heaps of fun!! Then a drs appt on the way home in the big city with the ob- i did have a bit of a crazy lady moment.. i had all my previous scan reports from all my pregnancies sent to me- i did have some of them- but i didnt have them all and i just wanted my new specialist to have them- so anyway i was looking through them so i could get them in order- and yep- my paranoia about anterior placentas is basically coz all the babies i have lost have been anterior placentas... not this time though i am telling myself!!!!! Its all going to be ok!!! I just have to keep telling myself that

Well i am off to bed.. night all, my candle is lit to say goodbye to Angelic Dragons little girls... you are in my thoughts Judy xxooxxoo

[Laney]

Judy, I am so sorry. I am thinking of you.

[Laney]

Sb, I have a similar thing that makes me crazy during my pregnancies. With parker and Shelby my corpus luteum cyst was huge and on the right side. It was "normal" and on the left with Grayson. I am terrified to find out where it is because I have had pain on the right the past couple of days It is doing my head in at the moment. I know that it doesn't really matter which ovary I ovulated from but I can't help but think that my right one is garbage. I have also been trying to think "not this time though i am telling myself!!!!! Its all going to be ok!!!"

Lee, I hope your MIL is helping out loads and that you are getting a much deserved rest.

dory, I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Michelle, I am glad that you posted in here, I noticed that you have been a little quiet in the other thread. I have always found such comfort and support in here.

jlk, sorry that the crazy lady found you. I don't think that any of us are safe from her.


AFM, I have been sitting by the phone just waiting for my doctor to ring me. They will have my blood results and decide when my first scan will be. I had one with Grayson at 6 weeks, that is only a couple of days away

[Laney]

Hcg levels are rising well as of last Friday My first ultrasound appt is next Friday. I didn't want to wait that long but they were pretty booked up They said that they would call if someone cancels. The wait is on! Now I just need to find tons of stuff to keep me busy for 10 days.
