    Girls, if you haven't seen my BA ... Amelia is here. She arrived on 30/11/11 at 10.43pm weighing in at a teeny 850 grams and had a HC of 24cm. Length of 33cms. Born by emergency c sec... We are both going fine at the moment I've just expressed 8ml (yay) from both boobies so she will have something to start on when she's ready for EBM.

    Ok girls off to sleep. Still in hospy so draining with a premmie. Hmm.

    lol - I had my monitoring But still went back that night to have a baby. A big healthy girl born to us on 30.11.2011. She was actually 9lb 8oz!

    LnD I hope you are doing ok and so is your little girl. I am sending healing and healthy vibes to both of you and hope to see her improving very soon.

    Egads! Any tips on how to deal with the fear of miscarriage / inability to get excited about a new pregnancy after 2 mc's? I keep looking at the lines on my FRER and wishing they were so much darker.

    Congrats on the most recent arrivals Glad to see some successful PAML graduates

    Oh Maruschke, I am so happy for you hun! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a very sticky bub!

    Re: the miscarriage fear... As a Christian I always find prayer and just surrendering the situation completely to God in trust helps. But if you're not that way inclined I guess just take each day as it comes and remind yourself that others have been through it and successfully. I hope that doesn't sound like hollow platitudes and actually helps you! Really, it's hard to suggest anything useful when it's so out of your control *hugs* xxx

    Thanks Phebee. Yes I am a Christian but I also know the reality is that Christians suffer miscarriage at the same rate as everyone else . TTC#2 has been a very interesting journey from that aspect. Anyway, the FRER's are slowly getting darker, still nowhere near as dark as the control line, but dark enough to see it only by the light of my laptop on an unusually chilly summer morning .

    Belly rubs all.

    I'll just stay quietly excited for you Maruschke! As far as the paranoia goes? It comes and goes. There is no problem with having regular scans, but of course that's not relevant yet. I reckon that time before scanning is the scariest, but it never quite goes away. That probably doesn't help, but at least you know you're not alone! I hope this one is your sticky, take home bubby after such a long journey! Love and

    Jess, Helle's baby was actually born on 1/12/2011 Our babies were the same gestation, length, head circ, gender - everything except Issy was 30g heavier than Abby! Pretty spot on

    I miss being pregnant girls... I wish I could still be taking belly pics each week and comparing growth with you all. But my little miss is doing well in NICU and amazing the doctors and us everyday.

    I seen her have a Brady yesterday and it nearly killed me to see her like that. All the machines going off and stuff but she's in the best hands and I need to be there for her.

    I'm hopefully being discharged tomorrow. If my bp stays relatively stable (its still fairly high but that's expected after Pre Eclampsia.

    I'll be stalking you beautiful ladies and looking forward to seeing all your ba's when your babes are fully cooked no earlier please ladies Xxx love u all xxx

    Thanks for all the support x

    Mar ~ very happy for you!

    Maruschke - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What a fantastic little December surprise!

    Loops - awesome news on your scan! Getting to see little munchkin is always nice. Hope your headaches go away.

    LysnDan - isn't funny how as soon as they are here you miss being pregnant? Sorry you had to witness a brady - did Amelia recover quickly? Is she on many meds? Can't believe she's already 1 weeks old. What is your nickname for her ? Milly? AJ? I sometimes call my Amelia - Meils, but mostly just her name.

    Well not much going on here. Recovering after the germ virus descended on our house this past week. Thankful for the reprieve of the 24/7 nausea and fatigue. Almost thought I could feel some flutters the other day... pretty early I know. But it got me curious.

    Well I am off to have some BT's - antenatal ones plus ones for the NT scan and then make a rare appearance at my mothers group. Hope everyone is going ok. This pregnancy is so very different from all my others, it's amazing what having an awesome distraction can do. I just don't have the same amount of time to spend worrying... well so far. We'll see.

    Lys I hope your beautiful little girl is growing strong. FX your bp is stabalised enough to be discharged tomorrow. Stay strong

    Loops when is your 20w scan?

    Dory I agree the distraction is welcomed. I can't believe you are 10 weeks already! Mustn't be long til the next scan and you can see your precious little bub again

    AFM I don't have the energy to worry any more today about this pregnancy, it will either make it or it won't! We won't get the BT's back until 3.30 pm Monday and that feels like forever away. I have such little faith in my body. I have to keep reminding myself that I am PUPO as the LTTTC girls say, pregnant until proven otherwise.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely day

    xoxo

    Phe - GL for tomorrow!
    Mar - I will write more about my fear and anxiety management strategies later, when I am on the lap top.

    Just letting you know that Angelfish has had her bubs, a girl Lily. She was item and is in Nicu. I don't know much else yet. Keep her on your thoughts and send them some strength and love.

    Best of luck turning your bubs. My EDD is Aug 18.

    Sadly my FRER was noticably lighter this morning, and we all know what that means so maybe don't bother.

    Dory thank you so much Thank you every one coming on here and seeing everyone post has made me cry. Lilly was born 35 weeks and one day. She stopped breathing twice monday in the am she is at a really good hosptial in the nicu everyday i go in and i get good news but there is still that worry about calling or going there and finding something wrong right now she is jandice and they are hopping she will start eating better i go there everyday. She was born VIA c~section i only stayed one day at that hosptial and have been going to go see her in the other one. Please keep her in your prayers i just want her to be okay. If i could i would take her place right now. Leaving her there is one of the hardest things right now
