Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - February 2009

[Possums]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Scan not until later this arvo, so will report in then Cant help being nervous, but also excited

[Kahlan]

Hi girls,

Hope everyone is well.

LNB - glad to hear your scan was well. Mine is next Tuesday. Wish me luck.

Possum - So how did you go??? pretty exciting to see bub moving about, being active hey. we were is awe when during our 10 week scan the bub was throwing punches and kicking its feet in the air.

AFM, have decided to hire a doppler. Hopefully it will arrive soon.

One question girls, Was planning a surprise getaway for DH and me to Dalesford. Does anyone know whether it is safe for me to immerse myself in the mineral spa?

Belly rubs to all,

Kahlan

Kahlan - Not sure about mineral spa, but I know that heat isthe main reason preggo women are advised NOT to use "spas". I would imagine that as long your mineral spa was only warm rather than hot, then you would be ok. You just don't want to over heat. The powers that be recommend swimming and baths for relaxation, so I don't think the submersion is the issue.

Which Doppler did you get? I rang my birthing suite to ask advise on what type/brand they might have some recommendation for and the woman was so rude.

First off she goes "So, the baby has been born and you want a monitor?" annd I said no, I want to get a doppler for home use she then goes on to state "what would you need that for? It is certainly NOT something that we would recommend unless there is something wrong. Is there something wrong?"

I was astounded. Not just at the way she spoke to me, but what she was saying. For all she knows I may have lost a baby late in pregnancy or ANY number of other things. Not to mention the reason of "just 'cause I want one".

Kalhan the mineral spa is quite warm so I would say no to that one

Nic How Rude

AFM - 59 days we are under the 60 mark next checkup with OB is on Monday where we will discuss the CS option with him. Followed by 3 hour class

Hi everyone, I am so so sad to say we have lost little Hope. There was no heartbeat today and the baby measured 8 weeks 5 days. We are devastated and in shock and shattered and angry and lost. We truly believed this miracle was to be our forever baby. And yet another little angel has flown from us. Why? why us. It just feels like we have been dealt so many blows. I dont know where to turn next or what to do. We did our best to be strong and regroup before...and I have tried so hard to have faith this time. And yet here we are again. I am sorry if I sound so down and sorry for myself. I guess I am right now. Thanks so much for all your support during this pregnancy. I am booked in for a D&C tomorrow. My OB wanted to see me this afternoon an arranged it straight away for me.

I am absolutely shattered for you Possums. Life is sometimes so unfair. You are in my thoughts and prayers. You have every right to feel down and sorry for yourself.

[Kahlan]

OH Possum, what can I say. You and your DH do not deserve the blows life has given you guys. I still can't accept this. Could the sonographer be wrong? I know I am grasping straws here but you of all people I would want things to be different. I am shattered by your news. Yell, scream... do whatever you want because with all that has happended you have every right to be angry, sad...

Nic - I hired a doppler through Belly Beat, not sure what brand it is but will let you know when I get it.
