Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - June 2008

[scooby]

Hi girls
Just thought id drop in to see how everyones going!
TL: i am just sooooooo happy and excited to see you in here,
Numa: thats great havin a good ob it does make you feel so at ease.
Shannon: i hope those 2 bubs are waaaaayyyy too comfy inside mum to come out for a long time yet.
Devon: did you end up going for the ultrasound, i really think that anything that puts your mind at ease is so worth it. Are you getting any flutters yet I think once you can feel movement it makes it abit better! Im still so tempted to buy a fetal monitor?
BW: hope your ok and not over doing it too much (which is such a joke coming from me!!!!)
Miss C: you must be so relieved to finally feel like your getting settled, it is so un nerving and i think you are so brave making the move! Im from ireland and my folks moved to oz in 89 and i look back now and think woah that would have been soooo hard, you dont think of it as a child everything is fun. Bet your enjoying the nice summer weather, mum has just gone back to uk for a holiday so ive been keepin an eye out. So glad everything is falling in to place and hope you find your perfect home
Ellie: hope alls well with you

Well im still plodding along have my ob appointment today and i am armed with a very long list of questions (thinkin i might get kicked out of her office) but #1 priority is pleeeeeaaasse let me go back to the gym, i almost get slightly depressed if i cant go and with all the rain i havent even been able to walk. Still have the MS dont know when that is going to disappear it was long gone by this time with DS, but again it is just that little reassurence every morning when i wake up
Keep well everyone

Thanks for the welcome girls well what can I say I am driving myself nuts today questioning why I don't really have mroning sickness and I have cramps think I will do this until the scan. Bubba just stay strong and healthy for Mumma.

Hello to everyone and sending your way

Numa: So exciting to hear the heartbeat
Scooby: Good luck with the OB questions

TL - I'm doing my head in too! I can't wait for my scan on Thursday... once I see that little HB I will feel so much better. In saying that... my MS has started to get stronger over the weekend. Had a bad night on Sat night/Sun Morn... woke up at 2.30am nauseous and could not get back to sleep until I had eaten some plain bread to settle tummy. I think MS in most women tends to kick in around the 6 week mark. Then again, you may be one of the lucky one's that just does not get sick!

Hi to everyone else... hope you all had a great weekend. Like I said, I'm hanging out for my scan... It seems like an eternity away!

I too am going crazy today...analysing everything...after being so sick and spending a few days in hospital on a drip...suddenly at 9 weeks I'm feeling heaps better...and of course terrified it means something has gone wrong...24 sleeps until the 12 weeks scan...this is so hard!!!
Thanks for listening to this self absorbed vent!!!

hi girls
Just got back from the ob and im alittle miffed she got called away to a delivery which of course cant be helped. Her midwife said she would measure my belly and let me hear the heartbeat measurement was perfect But she couldnt get a heartbeat (bring on the panic ) she then put the US on and let me have a look bubs was movin around and we could see the flickering of the heart but my placenta is pretty much covering the front of everything, so it was really hard to get a good look. I kinda know everything is ok cause i saw it moving but i just cant help but worry Like what if the HB wasnt fast enough etc. Well i get to go back in 2 weeks but dont know if ill hold out that long. I sooooooooooo hate being this paranoid. Anyways sorry for the selfish post im off to wallow

Hi there, thought I should come into this thread in view we got our BFP on the weekend. Only early days and just getting our heads around it.

TigerLinda: you and I are close in due date =)

To everyone, wishing you all H&H pregnancies

Shannon: thinking of you at this time, hope the bubbas stay put

I have already tailored work back, I'm lucky working casually, I can tell them when I want to work or not. I work with children and families, which has been a real killer when you experience infertility! Hopefully it won't be so bad now. I can stop being envious (as much as I tried not to be) of other pregnant ladies. I felt awful for felling that way towards pregnant people/parents.

I already have MC, but today I had it in the afternoon. Does anyone know if IVF progesterone pessaries increase MC?

Hi ladies

I just wanted to send huge to everyone that is stressing and worried, even though i am positive all the babies are perfect.

Welcome Queen and congratulations on your :BFP:

Scooby - sorry your not feeling so fantastic after your midwife appointment, however wonderful news on seeing your little one wiggling around.

Ok and really sorry to do this.... BUT i have everything crossed that Tiggerlinda & Ellie get some morning sickness pronto! Not to much but just enough to put your minds at ease

Have a great day ladies

Shan
