Hi ladies

She asked if we wanted to know sex and we were sooooooo tempted but NO we still want to keep it a surprise...but i'm still thinking boy As long as our precious miracle arrives safe and sound thats all that matters

Hey Yogibear,

Whoo hoo!!!!!! for a great scan! Must be such a relief after your earlier scare with the scan . You and DH did so, so well to keep the sex a surprise.... I don't think I will be able to help myself, he, he! I think it will be the best surprise ever when you give birth though... wish I had of done it for DS but really want to know for this one as we have decided to only have 2 kiddies... really hoping for a DD but as you say as long as bubs if healthy that is all that really matters.


My scan went really well today too ! Bubs was measuring exact for dates and we were classed as low risk for everything. An interesting fact... they calculated my risk at the age they collected my eggs so risk was done at 31 years instead of the 33 I am now .

We tried to con the ultrasound tech lady into giving us a hint as to the sex but she wasn't giving anything up stayed sitting on the fence. According to the nub theory (thanks Baby Dream Time) Little Bean is looking like a DD but then DH and I though we saw a little 'you know what' as well so maybe another DS??? So still 50/50 !


MHB - Hope all went well for you and you are enjoying your 1st precious days with your little one !

to everyone else and I second TGIF Yogibear!!!!!!

STILL NO BABY!!!!
well back at home, had the induction and it only got me to 2cm and I didnt want them to break my waters then end up with a c section middle of the night, so going back on monday 7am if nothing has happened by then for AROM at 42 weeks, having contractions this morning and one gush of fluid so fingers crossed, so pleased I am waiting a little longer

mhb - hope things are happening now

Coral and yogi - congrats on your scans So good to hear that everything is going well

I had another scan yesterday since bubs is looking small - no obvious issues thankfully Just a bit littler than average.

hey ladies!

sorry I have been neglecting everyone! so glad your scan was great yogi, I can't even remember mine now it seems so long ago!

kass: not long for you now! you might have your bub before me!

hello everyone else!

AFM: still no bub, 12 days over today but... woke up at 7am with contractions, getting worse now, 4-5mins apart and last almost a minute, DF has gone to drop our son off at his grans which will take 3 hours round trip so hopefully he gets back in time! no waters broken yet thank god, going to try and stay home as long as possible. I truly hope I have a baby in my arms tonight! I am so scared the pain will die off again like every other time but been 3 and a half hours so far so thats the longest yet, wish me luck!

OMG OMG OMG: MHB!!!!!!!!

Those contractions sound like you are on your way... I hope DF made it back in time as 4-5min apart is so close and time to think about getting to the hospital !

Wishing you the best of Luck .... I think it will not be long before you are holding your little bundle of joy in your arms dance:!!!

Thinking of you hun, oxoxo

Hello lovely ladies!

Saffy, thanks so much for popping in and wishing me well. You are never too far from my thoughts and I was disappointed to read about your recent cycle, so sorry We are all praying that your next cycle will be the one

Juniper & Melissa, welcome and congrats! How are you both going? have you have any scans yet?

M+H+B, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Welcome to the world baby Marcus

Loops, yah for feeling movement! Its such a wonderful feeling...and the reasurrance is bliss. I am now starting to feel the kicks on the outside, but every time i grab DH's hand to see if he can feel anything bub decides to stop!....proving to be a cheeky monkey already!!

Teira, sorry you are having a hard time coping with your loss, i totally understand Whether our bub was a 4 cell embryo or a 7 week fetus or a newborn baby...there is no grief in the world like the grief of losing a child, at any stage. I admit i have been having sad feelings lately thinking about all the precious babies I have lost over the years. And then I think if it wasn't for them I would not have this miracle growing inside me now, its like they have sacrificed themselves for this bub. But then i'm sad that I never got to feel them growing and moving inside me, they will always be in my heart and i know i will meet them one day.
You did everything you could for your other embryo and unfortunately nature had other plans. I am a huge believer in fate and that things just have to follow their destiny...we just maybe dont know or understand the reasons until much later. Like i said, if i hadn't gone through what i did then i wouldn't have this baby now inside me...everything we go through is so worth it, we just have to try and cope the best we can to get through the tough times. Please feel free to talk about it here, our feelings are our feelings and there is no right or wrong. but its always good to talk about it, we are all here to offer our care and support.

All good with me, feeling lots of kicks and movement....sometimes i wonder what the hell this bub is doing inside there....training for the circus??!!

Belly rubs to you all
Yogi
