Pregnancy after LT TTC #17

[kass]

Yay Kelly! Congratulations!

Albi - results sound good

afm - not feeling great, had a bit of spotting this morning Rang the clinic in tears, had a blood test, and now waiting... Really hoping it's nothing, but I'm 8 weeks today, haven't had any symptoms so far, and the last couple of days I've had heaps of pimples appear - I normally get one or two just before af, so that's adding to my worry. Anyone else had similar? let it be nothing

[JBM]

kass: i had spotting with DS 1 at about 7 weeks, they did a scan and all was fine. good luck to you. x x

[JBM]

Kelly's boys have arrived!!!! Rhys Patrick at 9.56am weighing 5lb 8oz and Liam James at 9.57am weiging 6lb 1oz.

Huge congratluations to our friend Kelly her DH and little one, Tara on the arrival of their newest family members. The girls are outnumbered now!!!

yipee for kelly. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LizLemon]

Big congrats Kelly - what an amazing effort!

Kass I had spotting from 4 weeks to 7 weeks and all was fine. Hang in there darl it's quite common.

Congratulations Kelly, and welcome to the world Rhys and Liam.

Kass, I've been told spotting is quite common so hopefully it's all okay. I had a major bleed at 7.5weeks (lost 2 measuring cups of blood - 2 bleeds of around a cup each 12 hours apart). I was told then that spotting was common but losing that much blood was a major concern. In fact I was told the baby was dead... however a scan 24 hours later showed bub was still alive. though I was told it was still a high risk of losing it over the next few days due to the amount of blood I had lost. Luckily this little one is a fighter and has hung in there.

Fingers crossed all is okay.

AFM: I had a job interview today and start a new job on Friday. I will be looking after a young boy with Aspergers. It will be 3 days a week to start with (for 2 weeks) and might then reduce depending on the mother's work. She knows I'm pregnant and will be leaving mid to late July (depending on how healthy I am). Atleast this will give me a chance to get a bit more money saved for bub and the boy seems ok. He is quite high functioning and I will be assisting with his homeschooling.

DD - 14
Bub due 28th August

Thanks JBM, Bugsmum and dreamrise. I'm feeling a bit better now. It was pretty mild really, more pinkish crinone than anything else - dr your experience certainly puts it into perspective! Test came back all ok. Progesterone is still really high (over 500) so I don't know what caused it. I'm going to have another scan on Fri, hopefully no more scares between now and then!

A big congrats Kelly!!! xxxx hope your all well!

Kass I also had spotting for about a week when i was 5 or 6 weeks preg, really light and only came out with the crinone then when i swapped too pessaries it stopped?? so think it was the crinone just irritating things?

[Mindhugs]

Just popping in quickly to say a big YAY to Kelly. Congrats on Rhys & Liam. Cute names!!! Well done girlfriend. You certainly went a long way with carrying those twinnies. What a relief for you

Will pop back in to do persies later on. Looks like there's been a lot going on in here.

Welcome all newbies!!! Lots of 2nd time rounders!!!

[trishy]

Kass I also had some spotting as the girls said it fairly common

Hi everyone

wow so busy, sorry just have time for a quick one before going out today.

Congratulations Kelly!!!! So exciting, enjoy lots of cuddles with little Rhys and Liam!!!

Welcome newbies and congratulations!!!

Kass - hope all is ok now.

JBM - yes the tiredness is so bad at first! Kids are so funny aren't they

Thanks for your support Ladies, Grub DS sounds cute! My 2 girls are desperate for a baby brother or sister and it broke my heart when they kept asking for one when we were on ivf and having miscarriages (not that they knew). But now DH is worried if I tell them they won't understand how far away it is and ask about it every day/minute. DD2 is like a broken record at the moment (a very cute broken record) but am hoping to tell them at the end of May.

Marcellus - Thankyou, I checked dr google (has asked my midwives and FS and OB before but they never say much) and apparently PCOS can affect breastmilk, either normal production, way too much, or way too little. I guess I can't help if it happens again, but often felt like other mummies thought I just wasn't trying hard enough or persevering enough. Have seen the lacation consultant several times, she was so lovely and helpful. I think I've tried everything drugs, herbs, expressing often, heat packs, feeding often, skin to skin while feeding, drinking heaps of water, but couldn't build up a big enough supply! My breasts are quite small and didn't change much during pregnancy and it says lack of breast tissue dev effects it too.

DR - I think everyone gave really good post c-section advice, I have had 2 so far. Goodluck with your new job.

So sorry to everyone I've missed - hi to all and hope you are well. Will pop back in later to catch up but am having trouble keeping up atm.

Take care everyone

Aimee xoxo

Hi all

Had my ob appointment. Ob is please with bubs growth and fluid etc. He asked when do you think this one will come. He thinks 38 weeks, well thats his bet. He said you will give eviction orders after all you have been through. I will see him in 2 weeks time I have to have the GD test on the Monday and then see him on the Thursday to get my anti D injection.

[JBM]

trishy: woohoo, all sounds good. 38 weeks is good too. good luck to you

everyone else...sending a big hi and will catch up properly with you all soon once we are home :-)

[oneday86]

Ladies how far along were you when you felt your babies move or kick? Iv had a few moments where iv thought the baby just kicked me but not 100% sure, i know some ppl dont feel it till 20 weeks but im starting to worry (i know silly) its just some of my friends at work felt it as early as 15 or 17 weeks?

[trishy]

oneday with my dd I would say I didnt realise until about 20 weeks this time it was earlier but thats because I was more aware of what it felt like.
