That's great Shannon - big congrats on the :stork-girl: and :stork-boy:
Scooby All the best for your scan sweety. Have you had any more cramping or spotting? Please don't feel like a hypercondriact(sp). Its only natural for us LTTTCers to worry about all these things :hug:
Shannon Great news about a :babyboy: and a :babygirl: How exciting for you guys.
Devon All the best for your scan too. Just wanted to say that I had both abdo and internal scans for my 12 week one just so the sonographer could have a better look that everything was ok. I only wanted to tell you incase your sonographer wants to do the same :hug:
Nic Once again congratulations on the arrival of Luke.
Hi everyone :)
Shannon - *still* buzzing after your news, hun! So very pleased for you, B&S and DH. Yay!
Scooby - hope you're doing ok, hun. I know how scary spotting can be, and how sad it can make you feel just when you felt like everything was going ok and you're feeling in a place to start enjoying things. Like Lenny has said, you're not being a hypochondriac, you're simply reacting the completely normal way for someone going through what you are. You need to keep heart that it still is more than likely ok, even though it's hard not to get affected by it. Even after my threatened miscarriage, I still had both brown and pink spotting on and off for many weeks, but the whole time the baby was fine. And it's certainly not uncommon for woman to get some "breakthrough" bleeding around the time of when AF is due at 8 and 12 weeks, and it's that time for you at the moment, so this could be a likely explanation. I hope everything on the scan is able to reassure you, and I'm thinking of you heaps, hun. :comfort:
Devon - hey hun. Thinking of you lots for you scan tomorrow too, hope you're having a relatively relaxing night and getting some shut-eye. Look forward to hearing how things are going for you and bubs next.
:hello: Lenny & mako and any other mums and mums-to-be in the thread. Hope you're all doing well.
AFM: chugging along ok. DH still hasn't got a job (he just had an interview we went to in Wales a few days ago that didn't turn out) - he keeps getting told he's second or third choice each interview he goes to which is quite frustrating, but he has another 4 interviews between now and next Thursday and he's had 5 so far, so hoping as he gets more experience and knowledge, something will click into place, hopefully with this bunch!
I'm already hanging out for my 20 week scan (which is still almost 4 weeks away!) so hopefully if DH gets a job soon that will be a good distraction whilst we move and try and set up our new home! I think I may have been feeling movement, but it seems a little to surreal to be happening, and because of my bowel problems it's difficult to tell if it's associated with my bowel or not even though it feels different, so I'm not entirely convinced that's what it is despite reassurances that it probably is.
One thing that took me by surprise a couple of nights ago is that my BBs are already leaking slightly! :redface: It happens in the evening at bedtime and unbeknownst to me, in my sleep as well! Wondering if anyone knows if this is a good thing or a bad thing? I've heard mixed things, including my mother telling me that it's not good to be leaking so early, as she did the same, and ending up having a stressful time BFing because she had too much gushing, watery milk. Not sure what to think at the moment. Ahh, I'm sure it will all work out. Trying not to stress about anything else now! :rolleyes:
Hugs to you all,
Miss C :hug:
Hey everyone
Scooby - I hope your scan went well, I can't wait to hear that everything is OK with you and bub. Got everything crossed for you hun :crossfingers: :crossfingers:
Shannon - a boy and a girl - how fabulous! Huge congratulations, that must be so exciting!
Mako - thanks for that info. Just ended up being abdominal, which was good! Not that I'm too fussed by transvaginal anyway, I've had so many of them.
Missc - how exciting that you might be feeling movement already. Amazing that you're starting to make milk as well, that's full on! I'm sure it'll all work out - I bet it's just one of those things that happens early for some and later for others and might have nothing to do with how you will BF.
AFM - Nuchal scan went brilliantly, I am so relieved. All looks good, baby is slightly ahead of dates. nuchal fold measurement was 1.1mm and our risk for Downs was 1:7808. Am going to try to relax now. Sonographer said risk of m/c now is about 1 in 500, so I really should let that one go. Oh and placenta is at the front, so might take longer for me to feel movement. We have some really creepy pictures - it looks like an alien! There's one of it staring straight at us with its big alien eyes, and apparently giving us the finger - nice!
Devon

Sorry runnin out the door but just wanted to let you all know it was all good today (thank god) placenta is low and there is some blood pooled behind it which is causing the spotting, but nothin to be worried about yeah!!!!! i will come on later to do some personals. thanks again for all the wonderful support and good wishes. Devon that is an awesome result for you too!!!! ITS REALLY HAPPENING ARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!:dance: talk soon
So much to catch up on because I've been decidedly antisocial lately!
Miss C, I hope a job comes through for DH very soon.
Shannon, a girl and a boy sounds absolutely delightful! I can't wait until we can find out what we've got here.
Devon, I thought our little one was rude and uncooperative during the nuchal scan, but to be giving the finger so early, sheesh! I hope it's not a sign of things to come, but it is great that we can find things to laugh at as we go through this.
Scooby, glad to hear of a good scan result and that the spotting isn't anything to worry about. I've heard that spotting is quite common with low-lying placentas, but I don't know how true it is.
It's been a hard few days for me. I realised that the EDD for angel number 2 passed earlier this month, and I didn't even notice. Couple that with the anniversary of when we lost angel number 1 yesterday and I've been feeling almost guilty for being pregnant and starting to become happy and excited about it. I'm trying to keep focussed on the future and what is to come... with more success at some times than others.
OB appointment this afternoon. Bit scary. Also, as of this morning I will be taking my last metformin tablet, which is also scary. I put off telling people until after the nuchal scan... after the nuchal scan it became after the OB appointment... now... I suppose it will move again depending on what gets set out as the next few steps for us this afternoon. I don't think the fear and the worry will ever leave me.
BW
Oh Scooby - you have no idea how relieved I am for you! I was starting to get a bit worried. Phew, so glad that all is well with bubs. And good that you have an explanation for the spotting as well. Yay!!! I felt like you after the NT scan - this is really happening! It's the first time I've thought it might be real. I hope you're feeling happy and calm today!
BW - I'm sorry you're feeling a bit guilty. It really is OK for you to be excited about this baby, it certainly doesn't mean that you love your angel babies any less, or that they're not special, but clearly the baby that is growing inside you now will occupy most of your thoughts. I would look upon it as a good thing that the anniversaries aren't on your mind so much, those babies are still special to you no matter what, but you really do deserve to be excited about parasite! Best of luck for your OB appointment today, and for taking the last metformin tablet too - I can imagine how scary that must be for you. Hopefully your OB can reassure you about it. I know exactly what you mean about putting off telling people - I feel that way too - like I'm still not ready to make it public. Not sure how much longer I'll be able to put it off for, next OB appointment is at 15 weeks and I think it'll be pretty obvious by then.
Devon - ahhh! So pleased everything went really well with your scan! :D :clap: And it leads me to ask: who... has been teaching your bub to give the finger?! Baby with attitude! ;) Such a great NT result, and I'm glad that you're feeling like it'll be a bit easier to relax now - you certainly sound it in your post, hun!! Huge congratulations, and I hope the buzz keeps going and going as you head further into your lovely healthy pregnancy :hug:
scooby - so very relieved to hear your result too, lovely! Yeehaw, alright! Everything on track, and so glad you know what the spotting is. Enjoy the feeling - there is nothing like it, is there? So pleased for you :hug:
BW - firstly :comfort: I've read your last couple of blog entries, in particular today's one. If it helps at all,I really really understand that feeling of being completely at a loss, and still worried. Having that scan at 12 weeks is brilliant, but within a week of that, I found for me that the worry returned and it was hard again. And then to have your OB breeze you through an appointment and not deal with anything other than the physical aspects of where your pregnancy is at now... My first OB appointment was scheduled by my GP over here at 11 weeks and he basically said to me "What are you doing seeing me so early? I don't need to see you until 21 weeks - I didn't even get to ask my questions before I was bundled out of his office, so I really get that feeling. I felt so disappointed and fragile about the whole thing. And not long after my 12 week scan, I started to feel lost and worried because of - exactly as you say - this big gap where nothing is going on, and you don't feel or look very pregnant, there's nothing tangible to associate with this little thing that's meant to be growing inside you, and you're struggling because of all you've been through to get to this point. You recognise that everything is going well, and that being told "I'll see you in so many weeks" is a good comment coming from your OB, but it doesn't satisfy the fear and concern you still have. When the milestones and appointments are coming thick and fast, and least you're having regular enough reassurances about everything. So please know I really get where you're at atm. It took a little time to get it for me (3 separate tries over 2 weeks), but can you see your GP and have a listen for the heartbeat with a Doppler somewhere in that gap within the next few weeks? I can't tell you how much reassurance and relief that gave in that time where not a lot was happening and when I wasn't being directed in my antenatal care at all. Can you arrange to have your acupuncture more regularly still? I also found that, as you've said focussing on the future and the positives helped too, as often as I was able to amongst the worries. I also wanted to let you know, just as Devon has said, it's ok to enjoy things and not to feel guilty for it, even if it just happens for moments at a time. It struck me - and hopefully it's ok to be suggesting it - that if you're thinking about changing your avatar soon, maybe you might like to memorialise your angels in your avatar in some way? It wouldn't have to be a big deal or over the top, just something that was significant to you in acknowledging the importance of your angels in your journey and that they will always be with you, whether there are times that you are coping better or not. I think you're doing so amazingly - you've been through so much to get to this point, and you have so much strength to go through challenges the way you do. I hope that coming off the metformin isn't too stresssful for you. I can imagine how hard that must be, as it's hard enough to feel in control of where you're at now without having to let something go like that. Arghhh, sorry for the huge rambling post, but I wanted to let you know that I do understand where you're coming from, and I'm thinking of you lots. :hug:
All is well here - nothing further to report! Ahh, except that I'm starting pregnancy yoga next week for the first time, and I'm thinking about looking further into acupuncture for the first time - it feels really nice to be doing so positive, proactive things at this point.
:grouphug: and hi to Shannon, and to all you lovely yummy mummys and mums-to-be.
Miss C
Miss C, thank you! I think I've got my blog fixed and working so that people can actually comment on it now, but thank you for taking the time to sympathise with me and let me know I'm not being crazy or unreasonable!
For those who haven't read my blog - my OB was called out to a birth during our appointment yesterday so we had all of 5 minutes. Blood pressure was checked, baby was check with an ultra-quick scan that stopped as soon as a heartbeat was found, I was told to take more iron tablets (2 each day, not one), and that was it. No chance for me to ask questions about the next stage, no chance for me to find out if this little iron-leach I have could be sucking other minerals out of me as well, no chance to ask about the rotten headaches and muscle cramps that I've been having. She completely forgot about sending me for the early glucose test, and I'm not complaining too much, but with being off the metformin and still on the prednisone I'm worried that problems may go undetected for too long. Prednisone messes up blood sugar and insulin levels, and the metformin was at least protecting me from a bit of that. I do absolutely nothing for the next 4 weeks, and then in the space of a week I have my 18 week scan, my next acupuncture appointment, my next OB appointment and a wedding!
I'm feeling a bit calmer about it all this morning. I've emailed a friend (who just happens to be an OB), and hopefully she can tackle some of my questions and give me some reassurance. I was already thinking along the lines of what Miss C suggested and seeing my GP in a few weeks - even if it's just to get my iron levels rechecked and make sure everything is ok there. I've been seriously thinking of hiring a doppler to allow me to keep an eye on things... And I suppose the one thing I need to get my head around is that I'm 14 weeks today (my ticker will catch up in a bit, I'm sure!), I'm past the danger period, I'm settling into the second trimester, and there's not a whole lot that NEEDS to happen now, other than the baby doing a stack of growing!
Devon, thank you also for your reassurance. It just feels a little like I'm forgetting my angel babies and they don't matter now that I have one that is giving every appearance of sticking... I know it's not true, but this horrid game messes with your head something horrid!
BW
Hi Everyone
I've been to scared to post...but have been lurking...we had our 6 week scan on Tuesday and saw a beautiful little heartbeat! Still absolutely terrified...but we live in hope! Looking forward to joining in if that's ok?
My heart leapt for joy when i saw your name Ellie,
Biggest hugs to you :hug:
Hi everyone!
Ellie - big congratulations on your pregnancy! And congratulations on seeing the heartbeat on Tuesday, that's one big hurdle out of the way. Welcome to the thread and looking forward to chatting to you. I can only imagine how terrified you must be, I have lost one baby and I am still so worried that something will go wrong. Can I ask how far along your angel babies were? I really hope that this little one is a stayer for you.
MissC - thanks hun! It sounds like you're feeling really good, which is fantastic. I hope the pregnancy yoga goes well. I really recognise what you said to BW - I start to feel a bit scared again a few days after a good ultrasound - I need evidence that things are still going well. It sounds like you got some pretty offhand treatment from your OB - surely they should be used to pg women's anxieties and need for reassurance?
BW - oh geez, I would be hugely disappointed with that OB appointment!! We hang out for weeks for these appointments, to have it over in 5 minutes would be awful. It's great that you have a friend who can advise you on pg stuff. I've found the midwives at my OB's rooms to be quite available for me - the one who is in on Fridays said I can come in for a reassurance scan whenever I want. I wonder if there's anyone else who could do a quick scan for you when you're worried? Regarding the iron - I was advised by the midwife to take 'Spatone' - its an iron-rich mineral water from Wales (not whales and my friend thought!!), I take one sachet a day in a glass of juice, you can take up to two if pg. The iron is supposed to be more readily available to your body than that in tablets. But of course, I'd check any recommendation out first. I think it's made me feel a lot better, less breathless and more energy.
Big day for me today - I bought my first maternity clothes! Bought a pair of jeans and an elasticised boob tube thing that also acts as a top extender. I felt really weird buying maternity clothes - I still haven't really properly acknowledged that I'm pg, I felt a bit like a fraud just going into the shop. But my belly is getting too big to fit into my normal clothes - I haven't been able to wear jeans for weeks. We also told my SIL. DH got out the ultrasound pics and handed them to her - she immediately burst into tears! She's very sweet, and took her 2 years to get pg with her DS, so she understands that side of things. It was really lovely. Still feels scary telling people, I feel like I'm going to jinx it.
I hope everyone else is doing well and little bubbas are going strong.
Love
Devon
xxxx
Ellie, I'm SO happy to see you hear!
Devon, I know the feeling about maternity clothes! That was our mission today - find some! I felt really strange trying them on when I don't have an obvious belly, but even the size 14 help I have OHSS clothes won't fit much longer!
As for the OB appointment - it wouldn't have been much longer even if she hadn't been called away, we just might have had a bit more time for some social chit-chat and a few questions. Apparently I'm now at the utterly boring stage of pregnancy where the first trimester risks are gone and there's virtually no chance of the other pregnancy complications setting in yet. So all they can do is check my blood pressure and do a quick scan! I feel so much better now that I know everything that happened is standard, even the double dosing on the iron tablets (for everyone whose levels are below 100, mine were 90). I guess it's just strange to now be "medically normal" after the unidentifiable arthritis and the complicated IVF history I have. It's really hard to get my head around being a low risk pregnancy at this point in time.
Oh, we're telling church tomorrow! DH has done up a little powerpoint thingy with trumpet fanfares and a scan picture. It's rather cute, but it's a huge step that I'm freaking out over a little! Again, can't get my head around being low-risk, normal and OK for the first time in my life in about 7 years!
BW
Ellie - Congratulations on your pregnancy! :dance: I hope you're feeling well, and I know you'll feel really supported and understood here. It's a big step coming into the forum, especially when you're feeling really scared about the pregnancy, but I'm so glad you've taken the leap :) So glad that everything is going well for you and the baby so far - the heartbeat is the most miraculous thing!! May everything continue to go well, and you're super-sticky bub keep growing away beautifully.
Devon - congratulations on the maternity purchases!! ;) I've found buying maternity clothes and even some baby items now really helpful for accepting and getting over the disbelief of the pregnancy. And it's perfectly normal to feel like a fraud - I really understand that feeling. I think time is really the best thing that helps that, as you start to feel more and more secure of everything continuing to progress on the path it is. It's wonderful that you know that you can have a scan for reassurance. What a lovely response from the SIL - really nice that she really gets the importance of where you're at and what you've gone through to some extent. Hope you and baby are continuing to feel well :)
BW - it must be very weird after all this time, all that you've been through not just TTC but healthwise to be told "OK, you're fine, now go relax - we don't need to do anything else for you". Very hard to get your head around, I'm sure! I understand that too. I think our brains get conditioned to believe that we're not capable of staying pregnant because of loss and "failure", and it correlates particularly to how much "failure" and loss you've been through. It's something that's really hard mentally to get your head around, especially when you're told you're "normal". But I've been trying to embrace that about being pregnant now. All the pieces fell into place, and now my body is doing what comes naturally. Sustaining and developing a pregnancy. Some days it's easier to feel that than others, and some days the worries are back, and other days they're not. And I'm glad that you feel more relaxed about the standard things that have been happening. I hope they help you relax, even though that mental battle will always be hard.
Miss C :hug:
Ellie...congratulations!
May this pregnancy be one that is flooded with joy and hope and giggles!
So thrilled for you!
Hi Everyone
sorry about the flying visit have been sooo busy and sooooo tired went to bed at 7.30 last night and woke at 9.30 this morning, crazy!!!!!
Ive just been reading through everyones posts and the information and support is just amazing to feel like all the emotions we are going through are not just US!!!! And missC you have the most wonderful way with words i would love to explain things with such clarity, uinfortunately i waffle :lol:
BW: hope all went well at church today, i bet you will be overwhelmed with the love and support that you DO DESERVE!!!!! Good luck. BW from what i have learnt of you over the past few monthes no matter how you feel at the moment i know you could never forget your angels :hug: you do deserve to be happy so enjoy your beautiful bub, there may even be a little of your angel babies wrapped up in parasite you just never know:D
Devon: woah buying preg gear, ive done a few trips around but havent been able to do the purchase yet still doing my pants up with a safety pin!!!! i know what you mean about it being such a huge deal. I havent had to tell anyone im preg yet cause everyone knew with the IVF and everything, but i told someone for the first time and as soon as the words left my lips i was sure i was going to have a spontaneous MC i felt so ridiculous!!!!
Miss C: good luck with the yoga, that sounds really great and sooo relaxing enjoy. I dont think leaky boobs are anything to worry about mine started with DS when i was about 30 weeks but i think it is just part of getting everything ready.
Hi to anyone i missed.
The scan was awesome on monday i got a 3 and 4 D done and bub actually stood up and did a couple of little leaps it was so cute and just totally amazing. I had actually been getting some little flutters last weekend and thought it was overcompensation for the spotting, but the ob said its very poss sayin it 2nd pregnancy and that the placenta isnt in the way so i was very excited!!! Think bubs has moved over though as they are not as strong as they were at the beginning of the week. Im so tempted to get a doppler too BW although im worried i might do my own head in with it and i know if i couldnt find the heart beat i would absolutly freak !!!! Emmm need to give it some more thought. Has anyone else been havin the naughty dreams im starting to get a little embarresed by all my conquests!!!!!:lol:
Well have a great weekend girls keep well !!!
Ellie: WELCOME!!!!!:dance: congrats on the pregnancy it truly is wonderful and hopefully you will get to relax a little and enjoy it soon!!!!
Oh Ellie Congratulations!!!! So happy to see you in here :dance: and what wonderful news about the heartbeat!
Will catch up on personals tomorrow, hope you all had a great weekend!!
Shan
Thanks heaps for the warm welcome..have been throwing up all day so forgive me for being short...will catch up on personals when I get the head out the bucket lol!
WOOHOO Ellie Its great to see you here. I'm sooooo happy for you hun and I'm pleased that you've had your head in the bucket all day. No just kidding but I am really happy for you :hug:
Hi Everyone, I just thought I would pop my head in though it is only very early days yet... I just got my first BFP today and am over the moon. HCG is at 480 (4 weeks pregs today) which the nurse said is a really good level.
I have met a few of you in the LTTTC threads before and hope to be keeping you company in here for the next 8 months.
My first scan with the FS is on August the 7th :pray: everything will be perfect at that time.
Janie xxx
Congrats, Janie. That is a fantastic level.
I will chat more when I get home from work.
BW
Janie
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
that is awesome news congrats and so good to see you in here. those levels sound great!!!!
Well done loads of :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Congratulations Janie!! That's wonderful news, and those sound like fantastic levels! Your baby must be settling in really well! Looking forward to chatting over the next 8 months!
I'm quite upset this afternoon, I just found out that my SIL has gone into pre-term labour at 33 weeks. She's in hospital and they've given her an injection to stop the contractions and another to help mature the baby's lungs if he's born too early. I'm so scared for them. She and my brother are in the US so I can't talk to or see them. I'm really upset that this is happening to them, they must be so scared :(
Devon
xxxx
OMG ELLIE!!!!
congratulations. i was just browsing BB as i havent been here for ages and was actually checking on BW (hey girl!)
good luck hun with this pregnancy and i hope to join you shortly..... i am about to have my final transfer if bubsicle defrosts healthily
take care
Hey Sonya. Best of luck for that final bubsicle of yours.
Never quite made it back on last night. Last night I was at work for parent teacher interviews after taking the day off because of severe back pain. I had a bowen therapy treatment which has helped heaps, but it certainly seems as though I've got the nasty back and pelvis problems of later pregnancy setting in stupidly early. Something also tells me that I'm showing quite obviously right now. Perhaps it was the "gee, you're really starting to show now, BW" from my head of department last night, or the fact that I can only just do up the size 14 help I have OHSS jeans that I bought early on. I had hoped to get a little further along before I had to go to full time maternity clothing, but it looks like the bump just isn't cooperating.
Devon, I'm really sorry to hear about what your family is going through. I'll be hoping and praying that everything turns out ok and they can get bub to stay inside a little longer.
Have a great day everyone. Hope all is well.
BW
Hi Everyone and thanks for the warm welcome.
Devon, my sister had severe pre-eclampsyia and had to have her son delivered at 24 weeks and 4 days. I won't say that it has been easy, but my nephew is now just over a month old and is stable and growing well. It is amazing what they can do with these early babies and the staff in the NICU are amazing. I send you and your family so much love and :pray: that your niece/nephew arrives safely.
Janie xxx
Hi everyone
Devon - Ectopic was the furthest we've ever got which was 7.5 weeks. Hoping everything has worked out ok with your brother...my girlfriends twins arrived at 30 weeks...they just turned 2! It is amazing what can be done to support these little bubs these days...hang in there!
Janie - Congratulations!!! Look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you!
BW - Sounding wonderful...so happy for you!
A big hi to everyone else...struggling to keep up with it all today...
Me...I've spent the last two days in hospital...apparently throwing up non stop for three weeks and not keeping anything down is not a good thing! So they put me on a drip to rehydrate me and gave me some lovely medication to stop me spewing...just lovely to have a break for a bit!!!
See the Ob on the 1st August...will they automatically scan me to check bub is still ok???
Ellie, I've had two ob appointments so far, and at each (even the stupidly rushed one) they've done a quick scan to check on bubs. She hasn't tried too hard to get a good view (mainly because I keep going in with an empty bladder!), but has checked for a heart beat each time. If I'm reading things correctly, you're now further than you've ever been before? I guess it's a very nervous time for you either way... hang in there!
BW
Thanks everyone for your thoughts on my brother and SIL. Had an email this morning saying that the test they did for something called 'fetal fibronectin' was negative. I read that this is some kind of 'glue' that helps the foetus attach, so the fact that the test was negative means there is only a very slim chance that the baby will be born in the next two weeks - which is great. SIL will be in hospital till Friday, and then on partial bed rest and medication for two weeks. Very relieved that the baby is not coming now! Two more weeks inside will be great for him.
Ellie - you poor thing! That sounds absolutely dreadful. I hope you are feeling better and the morning sickness can be kept under control. I have had a scan at every appointment I've had so far (I've had four so far in this pregnancy), so I'm sure your OB will give you a quick scan. This must be a really anxious time for you, I hope the days till your appointment pass really quickly and you get to see that gorgeous heartbeat before you know it.
BW - sorry to hear about your back. I tend to have back issues, so I know it's going to be a problem for me. My lower back is sore quite a bit of the time, I've been sleeping with a pillow for support under/between my knees since I found out I was pg, and it does seem to help. I know what you mean about the belly - I am freaking huge! I think I look weeks ahead of where I am. I love it - it feels very reassuring. I like the mat jeans I bought, they look like normal jeans but with a soft, elasticised section instead of the zip and buttons. It was a relief to be able to wear something comfortable, and you can't tell they're mat jeans when I put the belly band or a long singlet over the top of them.
11 sleeps till my next OB appointment, really want to see the baby and see whether s/he's still OK.
Janie, Scooby, Shannon, MissC and anyone I may have missed - I hope you're all doing marvellously and I'm sending you lots of :bellyrubs:
Devon

Hi everyone
Woah disappear for a little while and it all happens
Devon: So glad everything is looking better for your brother and his wife, that is sooo scary, and i know its so hard for you when you want to be by there side and cant be! Hope that little man is going to hang in there for at LEAST a few more weeks
Ellie: i promise i am NEVER going to feel sorry for myself with the MS again, you poor thing. The good thing is MS is a sign of a very healthy pregnancy so hang in there !!!
Miss C: how ya going ?
BW: it must be so wonderful for you now to see that gorgeous little bump, i am just so stoked for you!!! Howd it go at church?
Janie: once again so glad your here!!!!!!
Sorry to anyone i missed hello :)
Well we decided to tell DS about the baby in mummys tummy and he is just so excited i was so worried about the huge gap as he turns 5 soon, but he cant wait and he is so well natured with our baby nephew so it should be good. Im getting brave i put up my ticker :dance: and bought some maternity jeans all in one day, but they are soooooooo much more comfortable and i must admit i dont miss the getting jagged when the safety pin kept popping open on my other jeans. :lol: Ob rang with scan results saying all was well, but because of the spotting and low placenta she said no gym :( and unfortunately i am consuming waaaayyyyyyy too much food, :bellygrowing:here we go( and i dont mean with baby!!!!)
Ellie! How happy was I when I saw the news! (not head in the bucket part of course:lol:)...big hugs and congratulations hun...hope you soon will get over the 'throwing up part' and start to enjoy the pregnancy...if you ever need to talk, you know I am here for you...
BW, have also been quietly checking on your progress as well, so glad you are now being associated with words like 'medically normal, low risk and text book pregnancy' and hope it won't change a bit for the upcoming months! :hug:
Thanks, BeiBei. The mind doesn't necessarily match the body at the moment. Feeling a bit stressy today... I think I'll probably stay kinda stressy until I can feel regular movement. On class at the moment so should get back to it.

Hi BeiBei...was only thinking about you earlier today...thanks for always being there for me...I am absolutely terrified and still dread going to the loo in case it's all over...think I'll be like this for a while yet!
BW...totally get the stress hun...until these little ones are in our arms we will be holding our breath...we have to believe in these little ones...our little miracles...and to think they are prayed for all the world over!!!
Ellie, I'm still terrified of loo trips! I have a funny feeling it will never stop. :hug:
BW
Hey Bei Bei
I continue to think of you and just pray that it happens so soon for you...
Take care chickie!
Hi Monnie,
That's so sweet of you to come in to say hello...I can't believe Felix is almost one, how time flies! You must be so proud! Take care hun, I hope too soon will have some news to tell, not given up yet! :)
Yeah Beibei...I can't believe he's almost one too! Quite amazing!
Every day I look at him and am just so thankful for his little life.
Hang in there chickie...I hope the herbals work wonderfully!
My cousin's little girl was her 3rd IVF attempt and she puts down the success to that being the first cycle that she tried herbals...wishing the same for you!!!
Hope everyone else is doing well!
Ellie...you poor chickie! Hope the m/s clears up really quickly...
Just popping in to say hi to everyone... Scooby and Devon, are we due on the same day?! :)
Hi Numa
yes we are all the same day how funny, we'll need to start havin bets on who goes first :lol: Hope your keepin well.
Hi to all the other girls hope your all well :dance:
Hey Numa
It's amazing how many women on BB are due on the 26th of Jan! Must have been something in the air in May. I definitely don't want to go early, my OB is on holidays until the 19th of Jan, so I need to hold on for him.
I've been having quite bad lower back pain all today, and last night as well. It's making me freak out a little bit, even though I've had it a couple of times in this pregnancy and I do tend to have a bad back. Just so worried that something's going to go wrong. I thought I had a UTI, but the first test results I got back were negative. Have been drinking water like there's no tomorrow and seems to be getting a little bit better.
Next OB appointment is Monday afternoon and it can't come fast enough for me. I need to see that little bub is OK.
How is everyone else doing? :bellyrubs: to all.
Devon
