Em -i hid out here till 10 weeks. I understand what your going through. My DH were in denial and barely spoke about being pg until after a scan at 14 weeks. Even after the 12 weeks we were still freaked out about losing it. I dont think the fear goes 100% but with each hurdle it get a bit easier. Good luck and hid in here for as long as it takes.
Yep. I feel the same. We have barely spoken about it at all and Im not allowing myself to feel excited about it. Hoping that will change after the scan but I dont know.:
Thanks Vic and Calluna. It's good to know I am not alone in my denial reaction. A part of me feels guilty for not being excited but I just couldn't bear to get attached and have another bad ending.
Mel that is awful I know I even felt guilty for my pg when one of my friends had a mc.
Totally understand the delay in excitement em and vic when I passed my mc week I feel better.
Bt tomorrow also great job came up at work do you think it's ok not to tell them I'm pg until after I get the job? I don't want to miss out and wonder was it due to pg?
Do they know you were doing IVF Greens? You could just claim you didnt know.
I was going to put this in its own thread but there was a few places it could have gone and none really fit quite right. So here it is.
I dont know if it is because I waited so long for this baby, or if its because of my early loss, or maybe a combination of the two, but I still get that pang of jealousy everytime someone announces the birth of thier babes.
I dont feel like my pregnancy is real, and everytime someone announces a bub I have to remind myself I am pregnant.
Everytime someone announces a birth I feel sad and jealous because we were TTC when they got thier BFP. If those cycles were succesful for us, Id have my baby in my arms by now instead of being terrified of a missed mc showing up on our 12 weeks scan in a couple of weeks.
Am I the only one who still hurts when they see BAs and PAs even though they are UTD?
Cal no they don't know re IVF I'm pretty private and don't need 10'000 questions so yeah whoops I'm pg may be the best way to go and totally get what you're saying re babies, it will go away when you have your baby in your arms. :hug:
ATM waiting for bt results and not being very patient lol
Just got a call progesterone 120 HCG 60000 wish HCG was a bit higher but it's still in the average zone. GP visit Tuesday then can't wait for next scan. No more blood I hope it's doing my head in.
Greenslw - Good numbers! Glad the progesterone has gone up! Normally they say about the HCG after they've seen a heartbeat they're not really interested in the numbers any more as it doesn't tell you anything... Also the higher the number is, the slower the rate it doubles with. How exciting about the job that's come up! I'd say apply and do the oops, I'm pregnant thing :) I had an interesting job possibility come up recently, with way better hours, no work in the evening and no weekend shift, but I don't want to start from scratch with annual leave/sick leave etc. So I decided to stay on at the job with crappy hours. Still I only work part time which is nice and manageable at the moment.
AFM just had a couple of long busy days, so enjoying my lazy Saturday... Already walked the dog, went to the supermarket and had 1 1/2 hour nap. Forgot all about having to organise dentist and GP appointment for DH for next week :$ so am on the phone now, hopefully he can get in. Getting a bit nervous about the fact we won't see bub till mid April... Hope lil one is fine.
gr double post
Same gestation today as my first m/c and latest loss. Well the start of it anyways. 11w6 is when it was confirmed and 12w is when I had the D&C. :hides:
Hugs Dampyre. Thinking of you babe.
Me4 if that's taking it easy I hate to think what is busy in your books
Damprye thinking of you, it's nice when those mile stones are gone, :hug:
Damprye - thinking of you! Not long now before you're past it and can focus on preparing for a new baby in October :) Hugs...
Greenslw - Haha, you had me laughing there. Doggie walking happens every day, most days twice, have got a big puppy and can't do without his walk... Shopping had already been moved from Wednesday, so was lucky to have enough stuff to last till Saturday. The rest of the day was pretty much spent on the lounge, so ended up being a lazy day after all. Was feeling quite teary. Watched some "one born every minute", find it so beautiful when another lil one enters this world! Was feeling pretty crampy yesterday, suppose uterus is stretching. How are you going? Is DH back?
Actually kinda a milestone for us as well, as last time bub was measuring about 9 weeks (but I was officially 11 weeks, bub had been 2 weeks behind from the start) and found out it had died. Had D&C a day later.
Hope you girls are feeling better and starting to relax a bit, the further we progress! xx
Double bl**dy posts...
Meh4 DF was back Tuesday DS and DF still at war but the extra hands are good. Sort of glad no dog this time around DS wants one but not till he can walk feed clean after it maybe 20! Lol
I also forgot to share my mums reaction to the news, she was speechless, got DS to tell her then handed her the scan. DF has been "no way" since DS so big happy shock . DS says he has a baby in his belly too. Cute
Hello ladies..a bit quiet on here, howis everyone
I think we might have gastro going through the house :rolleyes: its the last thing i need i can tell you..so far dd20mths and step daughter have had it but not real bad...im at work for the next two days and tafe so i am crossing my fingers..
I have a massive headache and have already thrown up this morning. Pleasant. Just to make things even more wonderful we have to walk to swimming then when we get home my mother is coming over. Also, my body has decided I cant take pills so I dont think the two panadol that I just popped are going to stay down long enough to work. Multivitamins arent happening either-sorry baby.
On the upside, Im pretty sure Ive been feeling bub move - like tiny bubbles. Im holding onto that regardless of how unlikely it is. Its giving me hope that bub is still alive in there.
Hope noone shares thier gastro germies Melster.
Feeling rather nauseated (thankfully no spews yet, just threats) and so exhausted this AM so will come back for persies later (also had a stupid migraine that hasn't left at all in the past 3weeks ans a bit over it) but 12weeks today, listened to bubbas HB early this AM (why I'm tired) so looks like a livewire so far. Have changed my room around and set up the second cot in my room (only have a small 2br unit and DS1 has to have his own room) so its quite the squeeze as I also have drawers for my clothes and for the two youngest (even though one isn't here yet lol). Got the deposit down on our mini van and trying to sell my car so I can pay for it. Not much left to get now, just a swing/rocker and then girl stuff if it turns out to be a girl. Have everything else from when DS2 was born (had just started selling it when I found out, hense why I need a rocker lol).
Good Morning Ladies,
Great hearing everyone's positive results from scans and blood tests.
:hug: to everyone who have passed their mc milestones. I passed mine last week at 6wks 1 day, I'm now 6wks 6days. I must change my EDD to the 13/11/13.
I was hoping that the ms wouldn't be as bad this time round... but no all day nausea and now my morning routine also involves a couple of vomits. I've learnt just to eat plain old buttered toast for breakfast now as it's not to bad coming back. Also picked up a nasty cold and have a horrid cough that once i get going I vomit more often than not.
Most people know at my work but that's because we have to deal with radioactive patients and chemotherapy drugs. I had to let some staff know as I can't go near either. Plus the way my belly is bloating I wont be able to keep it a secret for long. I popped at 13wks with my DD and reckon I'll go earlier with this one given it's all pre-stretched lol.
Told my mum and my in-laws after we had the scan confirming the HB last week. The rest of the family can wait till after the 12wk mark.
I have my next OBGYN appointment on 10th April and he'll do another scan then.
Also LOVE one born every minute... I sob everytime!
Hi everyone! :hello:
Just popping in to say hi. I am just a teensy weensy bit pregnant! 4w+3 (but I have known for 10 days so it feels longer). We have been TTC for 2 years and I had a heartbreaking loss at 12 +4 last year. I am ecstatic but SO scared. I know you understand. I was wondering if when you pass your loss "milestone" you start to relax or is it stressful all the way through? 12 weeks seems SO far away.I think if I make it to 16 weeks I will relax a bit but this is all new to me. I have a scan in 2 weeks so just focusing on that.
I hope you are all going well today! looking forward to getting to know you- there are some familiar faces in here from LTTTC which is nice!

Congratulations Lyra I hope every day brings you more confidence
Vv I was the same I bet it's nice to tell someone other than work.
Damprye you sound like you are in nesting mode, must happen earlier each time, I'm holding back but it's hard. Your house sounds so cosy
Cal how exciting for movement, I had a bit of an "is that" moment a few nights ago but I know it's too early for me but I can't wait.
Mel oh no for gastro wash hads heaps and fingers crossed it passes you.
ATM sick haven't been this sick before threw up when I got home and couldn't even handle cuddles with DS until ginger worked. Saw GP today and she was so calm with the process and I think public will work well for me. So excited to feel. A bump. I love being PG
calluna..that must be exciting feeling bubs already
Damprye hope you're feeling better
VV..no good about MS..im with ya there
Lyra...welcome and congratulations..i had a missed mc..so lost bubs 6 weeks and found out at 9 weeks.....the scans are pretty hard for me...i think once i get past the 12 week one i tend to relax a little more..and then once i have the 20 week one...
Greenslaw..my step d seems to be ok..and DD poos were still runny..i feel sick but i dont know if its just from pregnancy or if i have gastro...
I must admitt im not coping with things the way i would like to be...the ms and constantly feeling nauseated and just feeling terrible is getting to me...i dont know if it has to do with the different pregnancy? maybe its a boy? or maybe because i didnt plan this one like the others? i dunno but im feeling quiet emotional and hormonal and a tad cray cray...i hope things settle soon because i feel quiet stressed at the moment and petrified to tell my work...wish i loved being pregnant greenslaw..need some of youre vibes
Lyra! Welcome! I'm so excited to see you here! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy! I think this worry won't go away till we've got our healthy little bubbies in our arms. I'm very hopeful this pregnancy will go to plan as it's so different from our first with the mm/c. My ob was really happy when he saw it with 8 weeks 2 days. I do worry sometimes as besides the mood swings, the tiredness and the occasional feeling yuck, and mega sensitive nipples, I don't have many other symptoms. At the moment we're counting down to our 12 week scan, can't wait to see bub again.
VV - I'm sorry to hear about the chucking up and all day nausea. Hoping you feel better soon! Wish "one born every minute" was still on tv. I watched some episodes on SBS on demand, but the last one was last week :( I wasn't allowed to watch it when we were TTC as it upset me too much, and now I can finally watch it and prepare myself, it's no longer on tv :(.
Melster - Boo for gastro in the house :( Hope it passes soon! I'm sorry you're not enjoying this pregnancy. Hopefully you'll feel better soon and will be able to embrace the pregnancy and enjoy it too!
Greenslw - Am with you on the love been PG! I feel much better when I'm PG than when I have to deal with hormone levels going up and down through a AF cycle! Even if I have my off days, overall it's a lovely feeling! Can't wait to start feel bub moving around!
Calluna - Yay for feeling bub moving! I can't wait till I can feel my little one.
Damprye - How's the headache / migraine today? Yay for putting deposit down for minivan! How exciting! Hopefully you'll be able to sell your car soon!
AFM Had a good day yesterday. Had been having naughty cravings for a couple of days, ate loads of sugary stuff, but yesterday back to being healthy and enjoyed a whole avocado and some cherry tomatoes to go with it! Yummy! Have not been feeling very pregnant, besides the tiredness, sore boobs, and even the bloated belly has gone away a bit. Hope bubby will pop soon, as I can't wait to wear my maternity clothing ;) Have been wearing maternity jeans every once in a while and if I wear my normal jeans I have to have the button undone :$ Still fit in my work clothes at the moment! Had my long hair cut pretty short, just to distract people from other parts of my body looking different :) It worked with my colleagues :) We set up the cot yesterday, as we're planning on sharing the big news with brother and sister in law and grandpa on Saturday, which is my hubbies Birthday. Might share it via skype with my family overseas as well that day! Am so excited! We'll be 10 weeks then!
thanks..
I have been craving hot dogs of all things with the lot!!!!! yum....just had one lol..i havent been craving sweet things tho....more meals...chinese..bacon..maccas..eggs bendict.. stuff like that...gone off coffee..wonder what gender i am having ???? Think with DD4 i craved apples....and with all of them at some stage i craved cheeseburgers..
Mel have you spoken to the GP re nausea? Hope it settles by 12 weeks.
Me4 love the logic of hair distraction I think that would do the trick, top button open for me too.
Good luck telling the family great to share do they know you are ttc?
Been sick all day again feels like hormones are going crazy, feel starring then full really quick. Patches are reacting with my skin feels like a cross of sunburn and bee sting grrrr. Only 3.5 weeks to go. Also booked a massage for post 12 weeks I usually do them monthly been missing it big time.
Greenslw- a massage sounds wonderful.
Melster- both my boys I craved completely different things, apart from milkshakes.
Me4- How exciting, I still haven't told most people, including most my family lol
Lyra- congrats and welcome to this thread
VV- Yays on passing your milestone.
AFM- still have the migrane and ms. I took my doppler to my mums and she got to hear bubs hb :D
Argh, what did I say yesterday?! I love being pregnant :$ Haha, I jinxed myself big time. Have been feeling quite AF like crampy since yesterday morning. I suppose it could be multiple things, constipation?!, uterus stretching?! I don't know. I'm stressing out a tad bit. I'm not going to work today, will just take it easy. Have been to the loo this morning, so hopefully that was what's bothering it (sorry if TMI ;)).
Damprye - am a bit nervous about telling people, what if things will go wrong again?! On the one hand I want to wait till 12 week scan, but just want to share it too! I bet your mum was excited about hearing the heartbeat! I'm considering buying a doppler, are they easy to use?
Greenslw - my family overseas didn't really know that we are TTC, I did tell my parents about mm/c last year, my sister in law already knows that I'm pregnant. Here my partner's family knew about our mm/c last year and know we've been TTC for a long time. I think it will be a bit of a surprise though that we will be 10 weeks when we tell them :) Yay for only 3.5 weeks on patches! I'm counting down to Saturday, then only every 2nd day a pessary :) Can't wait.
I have only told people I know will support me through another m/c. I have had people talk behind my back before, apparently with DS2, I was only faking a pregnancy for attention. Not my fault I'd had 2 m/c before having him and what sort of attention would it bring? Certainly not that of my then partner (even though he was wanting a baby until I fell pg) and I hate drama. Wouldn't bring good attention either as I'm not married and then became single and sick. DS2's pregnancy brought a lot of trouble, not good, although I would do it all again as I love him to pieces. That's my family for ya though. My Mum, sister and Grandfather know out of my family (Im close to my grandfather). Only about 5 irl friends know about my last m/c. In general, youre pretty safe telling at 10weeks as chances of m/c have already declined, just not as much as 12weeks. I had a dream last night that I had my baby (boy in the dream I think) and then I was debating the nextday as to wwhether or not I should even FB announce it then or just let people wait till they bump into us or something lol.
Me4- I had cramping around the same time. It lasted for a week or so on and off but all seems fine still. :hug:
Just popping in to say i'm still & doing better so i should be posting more soon
Me4 i hope some rest sorts it all out and you're back to loving pg so how long do you half the dose for pessaries? My clinic said just stop.
Damprye that's awful who needs enemies. :hug: when could you first hear babies hb?
Cheshire I'm glad you're on the mend
Finally got a sympathetic hug from DF when he saw my red itchy legs, my own fault I usually just keep on without complaining I seem to have afternoon sickness 2-6 pm my sense of smell is so fine tuned animal food is not good at the supermarket everyone I passed had cat or dog food almost ran out. Lazy weekend ahoy :)
Greenslw- I heard bub at exactly 12weeks for sure :) And I'm fat but I done it with a full bladder and was applying decent pressure. Also helps having a good doppler ;-)
Cheshire- Glad you are doing better
Damprye - How sad those people that thought you were faking a pregnancy... Who would do that?! Love your dream - taking you to birth and still wondering if you'd facebook announce it... I'd unfriend anyone that gives you negative remarks. They don't deserve to be called friends?!
Greenslw - I was told to wean off my medication, I have to start taking pessaries every 2nd day as of tomorrow (so at 10 weeks) and stop them at 12 weeks. Metformin I have to wean off as well, having 3 tablets a day, have to take 2 for a week and then only one and then stop them. They weren't quite clear when to start weaning of these, but they said to stop at 12 weeks, so I suppose I'll start weaning off them as of tomorrow too.
Calluna - can you remember if these pains were possibly constipation related?
Cheshire - glad to hear you're still around and feeling better!
Melster and VV and Lyra, and anyone else I missed, how are you girls doing?
AFM - Feeling so much better today. Did lots of sleeping yesterday, 2.5 hours in bed yesterday morning and another hour in the arvo. This morning I've already been in bed for 2 hours extra as well! I only managed to walk the dog and then collapsed into bed. My bed is too comfortable :) My cramps are gone, they only stayed with me till late arvo yesterday. I think I was possibly constipated because I had this protein drink for 2 days in a row, it has added zinc in it. My first pregnancy I drank this daily and was hugely constipated :$ If I'd known it was this drink I would have stopped it straight away. At the time I thought it was a combination of pregnancy and pregnancy vitamins I was taking. Hopefully my bowel will be back to its usual self soon! Have a happy easter everyone!
la di da - double post :$
I'm not sure. It's possible but I haven't really been paying that much attention to my poop. I was constipated for week ish but couldnt tell you when that was.
What do you guys think of this; tell me why do so many mothers in the Kwinana marketplace have to carry there new born and young baby"s through the shopping center don't they know that if there is something spilt on the floor and they slip up holding them they could drop them out off there hands and kill them come on mums put them in a pram please.
That was posted on the wall of my local shop
I think that person is a moron. Better not carry your baby around at home, or cross a road - pram or not, or put them in a car seat, or let them play outside, or...
Yikes damprye visual scary image I'm a big fan of wraps and slings for little ones prams are hard work unless I walk lol
Cal lol you only notice poop when it's not happening or happening too much
Me4 those shakes do not do good things to me even when I'm not pg slowing down on meds sounds so great can't wait
Me DS is sick with a cough and had his first arvo nap in 6 months today but then stayed up till 8,30 :doh: I just hope I can miss this illness. Haven't been really pg over winter I'm thinking colds a plenty or maybe not fingers crossed
