Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - March 2008

[Carla MP]

Hi Ladies
We went for our scan..we are further along than we though...13 weeks and 3 days so now due 30 November even though they will be inducing me at 38 weeks. Everything was great, nothing to worry about. A very active little bubby doing tricks for us as we watched. Thanks for your support in my spastic posts......there is nothing to worry about..and if you have notice my new ticker..WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!

Im so happy now that things are fine...Im going to enjoy this from now on.....

Mon - Also following with your journal, very glad DH is home with you. try your hardest to relax and it isn't over until the fat lady sings..... and i dont feel like singing!!

Carla - Congrats on your little girl! How fantastic that they could tell alreadya nd everything is perfect!

Nic - Thanks for asking after me

Things here are good we had the nuchal scan Monday and 1:20000 chance of downs etc so very happy. Babies are perfect Squeak was very naughty and was doing rolls the whole time so it took and hour and half to get the measurements. Perfectly happy with the pregnancy, but i guess i haven't been posting much about myself i am struggling a bit with feeling so happy for us and having to watch friends struggle down the AC road still. And that balance of wanting to support them, but is it more painful than beneficial for them. Hope you guys know what i mean but its hard. I never thought we would get here and now we are i just want everyone else here with us!

And i guess i feel a little guiltier that we are having twins... IYKWIM.

Ok, this is me tentatively putting a toe in the water... I've been awfully hesitant to join up because of what happened last time, but it's time to start thinking positive!

We're due on the 16th of January, and had our first scan of our little parasite on Monday - measuring perfectly for dates and teeny little heartbeat blinking away at us.

I guess the first job is going to be attempting to catch up with everyone...

Hi everyone

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this issue I have. I am VERY scared of have a scan done of my baby, especially in the first trimester (currently 5 wks 2 days preg). The reason for this is I have miscarried at 6 weeks before and it happened the day after I had a scan. I know it is probably a coincidence, but I would be so mad at myself if it happened again... Am I being neurotic?

Welcome BW and so happy to see you here and fantastic news on the scan!

Numa this is you pregnancy and your body, i say do whatever you need to make yourself feel more comfortable, and if that means not having a scan until you are good and ready if ever well thats up to you. Do whatever you can to make YOU feel better!

Woohoo BW!! So good to see you in here

numa, I can't say it better than what Shannon already has.

Shannon - Yep, I get the feeling bad about moving on into here and leaving others behind that shared in our journey's. LOL at squeak doing rolls and being cheeky with the measurements. so glad to hear all is well with both bubble and squeak and you too

Has anyone noticed if there has been a BA for lis yet? She had someone doing one for her didn't she?

Ok, we are off in the morning for our OB appointment. We are triple booked, so I'm sure there will be quite a wait.
Not too sure on when we will get home, probably a little late, so will have to try to catch up with everyone sometime friday hopefully?
