Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - June 2008

**numa** · September 2nd, 2008, 03:31 PM

Great news Scooby, congratulations on your scan an lil' girl

. We are nearly half way now! My scan is this Friday, but we have decided to wait to find out - even tho I'm reeally curious and can't seem to get a real strong feeling either way. First I thought boy, then I was convinced girl for quite some time, now am leaning more towards boy again (I dreamt I ended up with boy triplets, and was puzzled as they hadn't all shown up on the scan!). I secretly would love a girl at some stage, but will also dearly love a boy - just hopefully either or! I had a good laugh at a line from Kaz Cook 'Up the Dufff' where she says people ask "are you having a boy or a girl?" and she replies "yes, I believe so".

Also a belated congratulations to queenh on your gorgeous twins! So glad everything is going well for you.

How is everyone else going? Must be busy, or tired, or both....

Hi girls

Scooby - congratulations on your little girl! Very glad to hear that your scan went well, but sorry that the morning sickness has come back. Glad that you're feeling less worried about things.

Numa - good luck for your scan on Friday, hope you get a good look at bub, although not too close a look if you don't want to find out!!

It is really quiet in here, isn't it? I'm just waiting for my scan. Still got 7 sleeps to go, I think I must be having a late one, it's next Tuesday morning and I'll be 20 weeks and 1 day. Feeling quite anxious about it and worried there will be something wrong with bubs. All will probably be OK though

Just counting down the days...

to everyone.

Hello Ladies

Thanks for dropping in Nicole, we all know how it feels and hard it is. I used to do the same thing and found reading people success stories helped keep the dream alive. Good luck hun and i can't wait to have you join us

Scooby - Congrats on your little girl

Numa - Good luck for Friday! Cant wait to hear about your beautiful baby

Linda - 10 weeks is fantastic, enjoy the scan on Tuesday and cant wait to see how bubs is going.

Devon - Good luck next week too

I will be eagerly awaiting all the news from these scans, what an exciting time in here at the moment.

Babymiracles - Hope you are doing okay and are getting that much needed sleep and that the nightmares have eased off. It does get better

Huge

to Queen, BW, Miss C, Megan, Waiting1 & Janie Hope you are all going well.

AFM - growing rapidly and definately feeling pregnant. I have the waddle down pat and i fear the end of being able to shave my own legs is near

babies are being very active and its facinating now they respond to things. I was at a work conference interstate last week and every time the room started clapping the babies would kick for a good 5 minutes. I have the GD Test on Friday also skipping straight to the long version - how did you find it BW?

Have a great week ladies

Urgh! The GTT was horrid! Definitely make sure you have someone to drive you home. Make sure they have food with them when they pick you up! I had one before I was pregnant and was pretty ok, just dizzy at the end. For the one I had a few weeks back, I ended up spending the majority of the time lying on a bed in one of the collection rooms with a sick bag beside me. I got extremely dizzy extremely fast and felt really bad for ages. DH met me with an apple danish, and then made me eat something protein-filled afterwards and I recovered fairly quickly. However, I did need him to help me to the car afterwards because the whole walking in a straight line thing was completely beyond me. Driving would have been downright foolish!

But... all this, and my results were fine!

At work for now, so can't say much more. The baby is active and happy, and is fortunately much quieter than on the weekend where he drove me stark raving mad and kept me awake all Saturday night! All is good apart from the anemia on my side of things.

Back to yelling at unmotivated year 11 students, will try to remember to get back later tonight, but I have acupuncture so it will be pretty late before I get home.

Shan - Lovely to hear about the active twins will try not to clap too much around you for the next few weeks

BW - Thanks for the info on the GTT I was thinking about that earlier this week at least now I have an idea.

Me not much have caught on my tax moving into new clothes and bras as things are starting not to fit kind of exciting too

to all have a great day/night

Hi guys - just wanted to let you know I will be leaving this post today as found out today that I am miscarrying or have already miscarried. Very rough few days - incredibly pain due to a large haemorrhaging ovarian cyst from the stimulation and then the bleeding starting. Pain is resolving thank goodness but obviously feel very sad. Hopefully will be back in this post again soon.

wishing you all the best of luck and lots of sticky vibes
