[tiggerlinda]

Megan and congrats I hope all goes well and you have a happy and healthy pg.

Megan, a huge congrats to you and DH! Fantastic to see you in here and i hope time passes quickly so you can see that beautiful heartbeat flickering away

Megan - welcome to the thread and big congratulations on your pregnancy! I can understand your DH being so excited! I think it's pretty normal for the m/s not to properly kick in until after six weeks, so I wouldn't worry about it going away - I'm sure you've got plenty of morning sickness coming your way!

I hope these anxious early weeks pass quickly for you.

Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy, may it be healthy and happy!

HI Y'all,

Wishing everyone a good week

Megan and congratulations on your BFP! I only recently found out too and it seems to take forever to get to see the heartbeat! Just think of all the time you've spent getting to this point, a week is not long in comparrison. Hope you were able to finish your assignment! I can't talk though, all I think about is how the baby is going.

TL: Glad to hear the bleeding has subsided and hope you are travelling along well. BTW What is a moxa stick?

BW: Thanks for the advice re: clothing. I went and bought some thingies (?!) which extend your pants, so I am ready to take on my expanding waistline.

AFM: I had another bleed on Friday afternoon, went for a BT on Saturday and all is okay. Which I still can't believe. Asked for my scan to be moved from next Monday to Friday, will find out later today. After the second bleed I must admit I was pretty concerned, but the clinic reassures me all my levels are going up. I have come off one of the medications and now just on pessarries, which are pos. causing the bleeding, so I am looking forward to coming off them. Otherwise trying to take it as easy as I can without going overboard. MS is also picking up the pace

BB regards
from Queenh

Queen H sorry to hear about another bleed but if the levels are rising that is a good thing so you have a naughty baby too (That is what our FS called ours) A moxa stick is a heating group of herbs used in accupunture feels really quite nice

:Hi everyone
Yay its so good to see this thread so busy. Just hought id say hello!
queenh: im soo glad alls well, the bleeding is very scary and hopefully its just those silly pessaries, i have heard they can irritate the cervix and cause bleeding, hope it helps but i know a girl who has been bleeding off and on her whole pregnancy she is now 30 weeks, so i it stops when you come off the meds but if it doesnt you can still have a healthy pregnacy, BUT we really dont need the added worry do we
TL: so glad your bleeding has stopped thats great, i really hope your keeping well with just enough ms to reassure you !!!
Shannon: how are your gorgeous bubs going i bet it feels like the weeks are starting to speed by now!!
Megan: congrats on you BFP and hang in there, it is so hard to get excited when youve been through so much to get here. Hope the next few weeks fly by.
BW: hope the GTT wasnt too horrible and that you are feeling good now youve decided to take it abit easier. I am wondering now if the AC has something to do with so many of us in this thread having some spotting or bleeding, i wonder has any studies been done?
Devon: hi and yippppeeeee we are now 17 weeks woooohoooo!!!! Dont know about you but it has been really dragging, i think cause we find out so early. I went out with my BF yesterday and her husband said to me oh you must be nearly 5 monthes now and she totally jumped at him and went NO shes only 4 monthes i wanted to scream its been like a year!!!
Well ive been good still doing water aerobics which is fun just cant seem to find any decent bathers, i am so frustrated with clothes at the moment as i am too fat for normal clothes but too little for maternity, so i have a very limted wardrobe, must admit i dont have much of a belly yet i just look fat
Got very annoyed yesterday as mum is in the uk and phoned to speak to her she wsnt there so i talked to her friend who i havent spoke to in at least 5 years, and can you believe she gave me a lecture about how "lucky" i was ( yes with an ectopic a missing tube, OHSS, 2 years of meds, needles, blood tests and op's (like i need to tell you girls) Yeah real lucky ! dont get me wrong because i do feel very blessed that on my first IVF i got my BFP, but theres no way id be callin it luck! And then....... I got the you girls should be happy that you got one to begin with (as i already have DS) If she was standing in front of me i would have hit her ( nothing to do with the agro preggo hormones i have at the mo!) Seriously were do people get off!! ANy woo sorry for the rant i told DH and he kinda of got it but didnt really !!
Well going to go sit in the glorious sun and unwind before i get ds from school. Hope i didnt miss any one!! and great to see everyone doing so well!!
Oh forgot to say my CS has been booked for 16th of january, not sure im fully decided on that path yet, but if i do that means im half way there yipppeeeee

Hi everyone - wow it has been busy in here!

Sorry for the lack of personals, but just got a moment to pop in here. Just wanted to let you know that I had my first OB appointment and I am so happy with my choice! I had used him previously as a gyno, but I had forgotten how amazing he is. The midwifes are just lovely too.

Anyhow, I am happy to say that I got to see my beautiful little baby again today. Measuring perfectly at 8 weeks (15mm) and a strong HB that we got to hear today as well as see. OB was over the moon with results. He said that if this scan is normal then your risk of miscarriage goes down dramatically. So he said all should be good for our baby to arrive 30/31 March 2009.

No wonder I have been feeling so crap - Baby has grown 9mm in the 10 days since our last scan. DH and I are just over the moon as I know you will all understand.

So next step is BT on 1st September and Nuchal Fold U/S on 15th September then OB visit. Then finally we will be able to tell work/friends about our impending arrival.

I will come in and catch up with everyone's news tomorrow.

Hope you are all well - I am walking on air!
