Pregnancy After Long Term TTC ~ March 2007

hey everyone...im still bouncing around! I actually feel great. I cant believe only 5....yes FIVE days to go :D

Not good news girls, the babys heart beat has slowed right down and doctor gave us a 70/30 chance... we go back for an ultrasound again on friday...but the baby hadnt grown and even we could see the heart had slowed... from 106 beat per minute at 6 weeks to around 60 bpm now. Most pregnancys do not go on from this stage.

I'm so sorry Megan. I wish there was something I could say to help. I know this week will be difficult for you & Kim, try to look after yourselves, and be positive. I hope you get good news on Friday. Lots of hugs to you.

I'm really struggling with m/s. I can't think of anything I feel like eating and I'm exhausted all the time... I just feel sick. Anyone have any recommendations to help?

Danni - wow, how exciting for you... it's almost here!!!! Keep us posted.

SJ, there's been a small development with Danni. Check out the news here.

Megan, I am so sorry to hear about your little one's HB slowing. I am praying for a miracle for you and Kim.

Me too Monnie, had them at 19wks with Holly too :) At least u know what they r now, so long as they dont come 5mins apart regularly.

Ooh Danni, the big count down, lovely belly pic too BTW. Ooh, ok i take that back, congrats.

Oh no Sammi, will hopefully subside b4 end of 1st tri for u.

Megan/Kim, sorry to hear that, hope bub can hang in there.

Megan & Kim - so sorry to hear of your news today, I am praying & sending millions of positive vibes your way that your little bub can hang in there.

Sammi Jane - I am in the same boat as you with the m/s.
I am constantly starving but don't actually want to eat anything but then I feel worse if I don't.
I have tried so many different food things but unfortunately what works one day may not work the next.
I have just started trying sea bands & they are helping a little & even a little is good enough for me.
I can totally sympathise with you!

Danni - I can't believe you have had your baby already!
Mason is georgeous!

Well I had my first u/s today & luckily everything looks good, saw the little heartbeat which was amazing & we are told it is 2.1cm (huge I know, lol).
How can something this little be causing so much sickness!!!

Dr did say that because I'm not actually vomiting I should be feeling better in a few weeks time, I am definately holding him to that one.

In case anyones wondering he said yes you can colour your hair, thankfully because my grey hairs are getting harder to cover up!

Will be having a second u/s at 12 weeks so that is only 3.5 weeks away.

Oh Two Mums...so sorry to hear about your scan...let's hope that Friday is wonderful news! I can only imagine how hard this must feel at the moment...just to let you know that I'm really thinking of you both and wishing and praying that everything turns out marvellously...

Take care...

Danni Congratulations on the arrival of little Mason. I hope you are both doing well.

Megan and Kim Sorry that your scan didn't go too well yesterday. I'm sending you all the best vibes possible that all is ok and your little monkey is ok when you have your scan on Friday.

I have my 10 week ob appointment tomorrow. Has anyone got any advice on what to expect when I go there?
My m/s seems to be getting better each day now, not so frequent or severe which is good. Still tired in the afternoons though.

I hope everyone is well and all those bubs are doing good too.

Megan - I hope everything is OK and that you guys beat the odds, will be thinking of you

Jo - I also died my hair, I am grey as well and was also told it was perfectly safe

Mako - not sure what happens at the 10 weeks appointment, we only had 8 week and 12 week

Hope everyone is well, looks like I am next in line to go. I will have a bit more time to come online now too as I am dropping back to part time at work, so hopefully I will be much less stressed and able to participate a bit more, I am still trying not to be a forum addict though LOL

OMG Jane so good to finally hear from you and i cant believe that you are next in line woohoo congrats

Hoping i will be joining you in 3 weeks

I hope you are here in 3 weeks too Lou, I will keep everything crossed for you

hi all.. wow jano.. next in line.. OMG.. that has just flown... hope everyone else is going well..

We couldnt wait another day... we went into have the ultrasound and the baby was dead. Measuring 7mm, about 7 weeks 1 day. Kim is booked in to have the D&C today at 11.30. It must have died a day or so after the last scan, which showed everything to be normal. We are having the baby tested to see if there was a problem with the baby or if it was because of the Subchorinic Hematoma. We have been gearing ourselves up for the worst since Monday, so we are just kind of numb rather than hysterical at this stage...

Megan, I don't know what to say. You and Kim take care and we are thinking of you at this very difficult time.

Oh Two Mums

So so sorry to hear your news...my thoughts and heart goes out to you both.

I hope that you have some wonderful support around you at this most difficult time.

Take care chickies...

Oh Megan, I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say... My heart goes out to you, I will be thinking of you both.

Look after yourselves through this difficult time.

Megan & KIm - I am so sorry for the loss of your baby

Kim and Megan,

My thoughts are with you..

Danni - congrats..I havent really been on since I got back so had to do some catch-up. So much for a planned caesar huh..? you must have gotten such a shock. I hope you're recovered, doing well and junior is letting you get some sleep.

Lulu

Oh no Megan & Kim, so sorry to hear about your precious little 'un, take care.

Life really does suck sometimes but try & hang in there.

Jo

Megan&Kim - so sorry to read your news. My thoughts are with you both..

Hi Girls,

Well we have to make an appointment with our Dr in about 3 - 4 weeks time ... we should have the results of the tests in 10-14 days. I guess it depends on the results which one of us will be trying. Kim got pregnant pretty easily - on the 2nd IUI with clomid. Me on the other hand ... not so fertile..if at all...

Our Dr, who by the way has been just the best through it all, is encouraging us not to give up and was very helpful by having Kim in surgery within 3 hours, while we were still stunned mullets. I think it would have been worse waiting the weekend or even overnight. He said the sooner we get it over and done with the sooner we can heal and get back on track and try again... Thank you sooooooo much everyone for your support and comments. Guess we will be making the transition to yet another thread.

I just want to say before i go a big huge congrats to Danni and the birth of your boy who is absolutely adorable!!

Thank you Megan-- I am praying he sends one of his best friends down to you both soon :hug:

Hey Megan

So glad that you guys are in what sound like very capable hands of your Dr.

Take care...

And hello Mummi Danni!!!! How's it all going, chickie?

Its tough this mothering job! How come nobody told me that? :rolleyes:

He is gorgeous and a great sleeper but there is not enough hours in the day... We are coping better and better each day though :)

I just saw Mason's website, Danni...ohhhhhhhhh...so so gorgeous!!! I love his hair...how cute!!!

I'm sure you are doing amazingly!!! Mason is one lucky boy!!!

Thanks hun :)

Danni,

this mothering thing is one tough job (sorry it's so late! Lol!)

Mason is so gorgeous! I can't remember when Charlie was that widdle! I miss it! *waaaahhhh*

Hello All,

I just came back from my NT scan and have found out that my baby (twin 1) died at 10weeks 1 day. I had a scan the day before in my doctors office, just to check things, and all was perfect.
I am so so sad. To lose 2 out of 2 (twins) has broken my heart.
I am booked in for a curette tomorrow.
Good luck to all of you. I hope to be back one day soon.

Lulu

Oh No Lulu :hugs: Im so sorry for your losses

Oh Lulu I'm so sorry sweety. I'm sending you all the :hug: in the world. Take care hun and know that I'm thinking of you.

Oh no Lulu...so so sorry to heard your very sad news...that just seems so unfair.

Take care chickie...I have no words which will help but just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you in this really difficult time.
