PP will be thinking of you over the next few days :hug:
I hope Kbudgie purple pixie and the mrs are all happily enjoying the weekend no stress. It is a awful approaching the week you mc and like cal ever little feeling can cause an anxious moment.
Nt scan results in and I'm low risk. GP said no need for another scan between now and 13 June unless fresh bleed she thinks that I've only had one bleed and its working its way out. Got a little frisky with DF last night and yep brown blood when I wiped this morning, so not sure maybe just the last of it, not sure how DF will go if no intimacy is on the table for 6 months. Or me for that matter. Still feeling bubbly wiggling and otherwise feel fine.
We will be telling DSS and his gf today and my best friend too looking forward to that
Pretty sure I have a UTI as my bladder doesn't feel like it is emptying properly and I've been getting BH since yesterday. Still have MS (BOO!) and trying to keep my tummy down atm. Got my flu needle and now have the flu
Oh dear damprye off to the dr?
:( bummer Dampyre, hope you can get to the doctor and they have you sorted out asap.
On a bit of a roller coaster again today. So happy with DSS and my friends reactions yesterday it was really nice but this morning more dark brown blood. :( not feeling happy at all. I'm sure last time I was starting to relax at this point. I also don't want to go scanning baby for no reason :wall: :cry: DF and I had a good chat about it and it seems like such an odd occurrence to bleed after any stimulation or knock in my pelvic region. He is being great and all the what ifs are going like a whirlwind in my head.
Me4 it's your ob appointment today good luck.
Also starting to think I want a Doppler, can anyone suggest the best place to buy one?
Sorry for wee rant just need to chat
Purple pixie - am thinking of you today!
Damprye - hope you're feeling better today.
Melster - is the morning sickness still away? My tiredness left me after 12 weeks, but came back again at 13 weeks together with a horrible head cold/flu... Now slowly starting to feel better. You ready yet to join your belly buddies on Facebook ??;)
Greenslw - You poor thing - I hope this spotting stops soon for you. I still have some spotting, but only after going to the toilet... For a doppler, there is supposed to be one on ebay for about $50? Don't know how good it is... Otherwise check gumtree and you might be able to find a good deal there!
Hugs for the Mrs! And hi to everyone else!
PP thinking of you today.
Woohoo 14wks today, c'mon on 2nd trimester energy & no more morning sickness ;)
Omg I have done something to my back... I can't walk or stand... I'm so stressed I haven't had any morning sickness the last few mornings. My stomach feels softer and I have back ache. I'm hoping I have just pinched a nerve. What do you reakon ?
How are you Damprye
How are you Calluna
Pp hope everything's ok
Greenslw .. I can understand you're worry .. Hopefully everything's ok
How are you me4eva and everyone else

Mel have you been puking? Sometimes that motion does my back can dh massage? Or a professional? Feel better :hug:
Me4 seems to be the same pattern with ms for me minus the cold. Hope it leaves ASAP. Decided Doppler will make me more paranoid so will leave it.
Cheshire :leap: for 14 weeks
Silly question to ask but here goes. Is it ok to have a baby shower for second child? I have different job and friends this time but feel a little guilty my bestie and DIL want to help which will be nice.
Greenslw - Are there any silly questions??! I know someone who had a baby shower for her 4th child (don't know if she had one for the ones before that as I didn't know her then...), so why can't you have one for a 2nd child? Isn't it to honour the mum and bub to be? Can I ask a silly question back? I've only been to 2 baby showers in my life, in the last couple of months and both bubs are due soon. Am I expected to buy another present for bub when it's born?
I haven't had any ms for the last couple days which is worrying me coz with the mc that's what happened. But I'm
Also nearly 14 weeks... The back pain isn't right across my back... No stomach pains until a few twinges today... Hope everything's ok
I only had one baby showet for my first but that's just me.... I have had friends that have had more baby showers. I have had ones that invite partners and had like a BBQ and had ones that have said no presents. I don't see anything wrong with having a baby shower. I tend to take something into the hospital when bubs is due but it doesn't have to be anything big. Or you could just take some flowers or a card..
Hi everyone,
(Again) sorry not been in much! Still struggling I guess with grief about my 12 week loss as I was due on 17th April and it's feeling all very raw again. I feel so blessed to be pregnant again but just wish I could be more confident in the outcome and not be wallowing in misery at the moment and just keep thinking I should have my little boy now.
me4ever, in answer to baby shower present, i would say it depends on how close you are to that person and whether you want to or not. I would say you have absolutely no obligation to buy another present if you gave one at the baby shower, but if you are super close to the mums and want to buy them something else when the bub arrives then why not. In my experience I have bought a present for bub for baby shower and then when he'she arrives a card and some flowers for mum and/or a freezable dinner, but only if they were super good friends, work colleagues etc no I wouldn't bother. That's my 2 cents!
Sorry for everyone feeling so sick, I think I am at my worst with that, but still not vomiting just nausea and bone-crushing fatigue.
Good luck guys, still stalking you all and wishing everyone the best xxx
Hi all,
sorry, been MIA again.....
Hope all the scans go well....
lyra: sorry you are feeling raw at the moment...
I have read everything, and sounds like you are all going well ATM. Great news :)
AFM: I seem to have lost all of my MS (since early last week I haven't had to take anything for the sickness) and I have been cramping on and off since Sat. To the point that I went and bought some pads. But no bleeding yet. Not sure how I will feel, as I am still freaking about 3 kids, I was so done at 2. But I guess I will see what happens. Appointment next week with the GP, so will go from there I guess. I also don't have the bloated belly that I had before last week. All soft and jelly-like at the moment.......
Me4 I think it depends on the type of friendship. I've only gone to baby showers of close friends and thus have doubled up but normally buy a mum gift when baby comes unless its a girl lol I'm a sucker for pink. Was thinking about 30 weeks for a baby shower so that's a bit of a gap between shower and bubs.
Mel yay for no ms but I know what you mean any sign can make you worry, hope you start feeling reassuring kicks soon
Lyra I totally understand a friend and I were pg together when I lost bubs and she had hers even though I was pg again I was still sad. :hug:
V21 hope cramps are just your belly adjusting sounds like you're managing hope GP app comes fast.
Damprye how are you?
Just got back from the scan and ob appointment and bub is looking as awesome as you can look at 14 weeks 2 days :) It was having the hiccups to begin with, the poor thing. The ob is really pleased. We were getting a bit worried as symptoms disappear here as well, and because bub is not really moving yet, so we were ecstatic to see little one move lots.
Melster and greenslw and Lyra- thanks for your answers re: baby shower - one was for my sister in law, we used to be very close, but in the last few years have grown apart. I have already spent more on her little bub than I have spent on my brother's babies overseas. The other one's for a cousin, who I normally see at xmas and other special holidays. Ditto with what I've spent on her. I'll see, I might buy something little once the babies are here...
Melster can't wait to welcome you into our belly buddy facebook group ;)
Lyra - extra hugs for you. I know it will be hard for you till you get at least past that date of the mm/c. It's hard not to worry. When's your next scan? And how many weeks are you now?
V21 - are you going to have a scan soon? Or have you had one recently? Are you going for a week 12 scan? Hugs for you as well!
Hi to everyone else!
Great news me4 so excited for you and dh.
lyra...it can be very hard!!!! and it can be difficult with further pregnancies too. i have had 1 healthy baby after my mc and i am still a nervous bundle with this one. I hope you feel better soon.
V21 how are you going now? im 14 weeks and i have had the same thing happen. My ms has seemed to have diassapeared in the last few days, my belly is floppy and i have back ache..have you had any bleeding?
Greenslw...yeah its a catch 22...least with MS you can sorta think that things are going ok..i am 14 weeks so i am hoping its just because im in the second tri
Me4ever..im so glad everything is going ok!!!!! I would only buy a small gift then...a teddy or some flowers or a suit...or even just a nice card..yes i have to get on that..
My back is slightly better but still sore and having twinges.....havent had anymore pains in my stomach. hopefully everythings ok
I forgot to update you all in this thread... I'm sorry.
Well the news is not great I'm afraid... No baby or sac in uterus. I'm meant to be just over 6 weeks ... Hcg up to 2350. They seen a mass on my right side near my ovary and they suspect ectopic (90percent chance) going for more bloods and another scan tomorrow (wednesday) but they said they will probably be giving me methotrexate tomorrow.
My pregnancy journey is all over I think... Well nearly. If I have the methotrexate I'll need blood tests day 4,7 and weekly after that to ensure the bhcg levels are leaving my system. :-(
I'm really sorry the news wasn't better PP :hug:
I thought my MS was gone bu nope its back today & i feel like crap.
So sad for you pp hope you've got loads of support
Mel I'm always achy so not sure what's normal for you my physio is my best friend lol
Cheshire I hope it leaves you soon ms is awful
ATM Had a fair bit of blood this morning so went to ed and finally saw an ob who said I have a blood clot behind the bottom of my plecenta and that's what's bleeding so...... Since bubs has made it this far and is growing she is optimistic but nothing is a certainty of course but she said this smiling so :pray: nothing I can do but take iron and keep belly safe frome DF and DS bumps. It might go away it might stay but they'll only worry if bubs isn't growing well. So I'm now a "high risk" pregnancy so no midwife birth for me, funny I'm glad this is 2nd pg cos I'd never do this again. Lucky DS was so easy. So no visit to ed unless huge pain and filling a pad an hour. Thank goodness someone told me why I think the not knowing is much worse also ob said don't get Doppler as it may make me more paranoid. Kinda wish I had my own ob now but this is the path I'm on now and I trust it will work out :pray:
PP - I'm so sorry it wasn't the news we were all hoping for you. I'm sending you loads of love and hugs.
Greenslw - I'm glad they found where the bleeding is coming from. Hopefully it will all dissolve over time and you be extra careful! Tell little DS to give you tiny baby hugs instead of big bear hugs :)
Cheshire - Am sorry about MS being a pain again. Hang in there!
Mel - my back has been sore too, but only slightly so and not every day. Some days it's worse than others. I've been using a curved pillow when I'm at home and sitting on the lounge as it's much more supporting than a little pillow. PM me or Cheshire with your name - I'm not quite sure how to add you to FB but can give it a go. I'm pretty sure Cheshire added me to the group :)
AFM off to work soon, another 12-7pm shift. Can't wait to have it over and done with. Am feeing heaps better than last week, so hopefully can deal with all the stresses work throws, especially since it's school holidays - loads of kids will come in without supervision :$ Have a good day everyone!
Hi ladies,
PP: I'm so sorry about the news, wish it was better news.
Greenslw: So glad they've figured out where the bleeding is coming from.
I haven't had any bleeding yet... I wont go for a scan until the 12 week scan, they are very busy where I live, and I'm not even sure I'll get in at 12 weeks! Will discuss with GP next week. Just need to hope that the funeral I have to go to doesn't clash with the Dr's appointment, as she is really hard to get into. I made the appointment 2 weeks ago, and next week was the first appointment I could get with her.....
im so sorry for you're news PP...if you need anything let us know
Cheshire..its always the way..
Greenslw..i know when you're misscarrying you can get bad back aches...but this was kinda different i think..it wasnt across my whole back or my stomach it was more in a spot..i was just standing doing my makeup and something happened...its still sore now but not as bad.....im glad you went and got a final answer..hope you dont get too much more bleeding...i was speaking to my ob about the dopplers and ow did he know exactly everytime were to get the HB..he said the ladies upstairs would send them down when they couldnt find the HB and he would find it in 2 seconds.....its just hard because the baby could be fine but you'rejust not in the right spot with the doppler and then stress yourself out so i think its a good idea
Me4ever...yeah i will..cant do it at work cause we cant use facebook..ill do it on my phone
Hiya, still here, still reading, just tired and been sick. Im just plodding along, getting through the day.
Me4 non supervised kids = nightmare good luck
Mel hope your back is better
V21 how are you?
Cal hope some goodnight sleep helps, going to the loo heaps yet?
Hi to everyone else
Me had a good work day but talking to a work friend feeling bad cos I want to share even though my chances of mc are 5% I'm still soo scared to share. Made a scan app for next Thursday to measure clot and baby. Bleeding hasn't slowed just more even not big in the am then nothing in the arvo had some abdo pain but it was not baby but the effects of iron tablets seems 2L is not enough maybe prune juice. Was hoping not to scan bubs again as I'm sure it's not good but need to know what's going on too. It seems clots either bleed out or get absorbed so I guess mine is a bleeder. Only a week till scan then another 4 days till I see GP
Green try taking the liquid iron supps(spatone)
Much more gentler on your stomach
Hello everyone again :)
hope everyone is feeling well. Im still here and just trying to work through this week!
hi all
hope everyone is feeling well, and getting some sleep. :)
I am just plodding along, still no bleeding, but definately don't feel pregnant like I did before...... Looks like the funeral I need to go to next week isn't going to clash with my Dr's appointment, so I guess that is good news......
double post......
Got some serious cramping happening today, trying so hard not stress but I'm still not feeling Boo move & it seems like everyone else is feeling their baby move.
I can't help but think back to last week when the OB had trouble finding the HB.
It's doing my head in & I just have this awful feeling that at the next appt at 17wks we won't find the HB.
Can you get an earlier appointnent Cheshire? :hug:
How many weeks are you v21? Those in between weeks are so nerve racking. :hug:
I can but i'm trying to have faith in my body besides not much they can do if anything has happened .....
Fair enough. Hope you get to feel those reassuring little wiggles soon.
Cheshire I hope you feel boo soon might help.
V21 glad no time clashes I hate having to. Move things
Me bleeding has backed right off and bloated tum has gone revealing a nice round bump :) scan thurs pm as work is full on trying not to pick DS up and take it easy. Does anyone else get a heavy belly at the end of the day?
Hugs Cheshire... Most of the people in our belly buddy group are a lot further than us. I haven't been able to feel bub moving, even though I thought last week I felt some butterfly flutters on Monday after sneezing. Haven't felt anything since. It's still very early days. Other people I've been asking tell me they didn't feel bub moving around till about 20 weeks. Do you have an anterior placenta? That seems to make it a bit later too? Hopefully we'll all start feeling our little ones soon!
Greenslw - I'm glad the bleeding is getting less! My belly is definitely bigger at the end of the day! I had someone envying my bump, even though I think it is still tiny. This girl had a very flat belly for being 14 weeks!
Hi to Melster, Kbudgie, Calluna, the MRS, V21, VV, Lyra, Damprye and anyone else who I've missed...
AFM I thought it'd be safe to have a massage yesterday at one of the chinese health places, to start of with it was going alright, I asked for a head, neck and shoulder massage and this could be done seated. When they wanted to finish of the rest of the head massage they told me to turn around and sit in an awkward position. After a few minutes I felt dizzy and like I was going to faint. I told her I wasn't feeling that well and she told me to sit on a different/normal chair. Slowly I recovered again. I'm not going back there now, it has totally put me off massages. I hope it hasn't hurt bub. Still have a month before the scan...
Me4 massage is supposed to be safe in 2nd trimester. Can you ask your acupuncture lady if she knows a good person last pg my massage therapist had a belly pillow which ment I could lie on my belly till around 32 weeks. My chiro has one too :)
Greenslw - I thought it was safe too. I don't know why she made me sit in this weird position. I know there is a place specialised only in massages during pregnancy somewhere in Perth - my cousin is getting me some brochures :). I try to remember to ask the acupuncture lady, but won't see her for another 2 weeks.
Hi everyone i remmber some names i am not pregnat i just wanted to pop in and say hi to you all this place saved me so many times during both of my times of being pregnate and my mc now my two little ones are 26 months and 16 months
