I was funny about buying stuff - I kept wanting too (and did) but every time I got home I would wonder if I had tempted fate & I would stuff everything in the cupboard out of sight.
Such an emotional roller coaster we travel on :)

Hi ladies just popping in to sat I have a boy William was born 28/10 at 9 lb 7 oz and 51 cm via cs. He is beautiful and super cruzie. I'm getting better although ds natural birth was much easier. Good luck on the rest of your journey xx.
Congratulations Greenslw, thank you for sharing your happy news :)
Congratulations greenslw! Fantastic news. Enjoy this special time.
I haven't really engaged with being pg yet. Its so early and ive lost so many that being pg doesn't mean that much at this early stage. Made a dr appt early next week and will prob get hcg bloods done then so will see how things look.
I do not like how symptoms come and go..... Assuming this is normal as I have seen people write about it here, but it sucks :(
not nauseous today, but I did wake up with a headache.
Sneaking in to say although it's great to have the common pg symptoms myturn, it's not unusual for them to come and go this early. I got nausea right on 6 weeks with 2 of my pg, with my first one I didn't have any, so it's still early days for you. Hang in there lovely, and envision your little bean snuggling in in there. Headache is good! lol. Sign of hormones going crazy in there :)
I know its normal, I just want it to be working so badly this time and I am scared I am setting myself up for failure. Last time I believed it was going to work and it didn't :( I always thought, if I could just GET pregnant.... And clearly that wasn't all that needed to happen. Sigh. I have so much to do today and all I want to do is sleep until the US on Friday.:
Myturn if you need proof that how you are feeling is normal please feel free to read back through my posts & follow my neurotic start to this pregnancy - I nearly drove DP, my GP & myself crazy with all the "what if's" Instead of being grateful for my lack of symptoms I was petrified it was a bad omen. I constantly second guessed myself & was always reading up on google to compare my symptoms with others. Eventually the fear passed but all it takes is a day of bub being quiet & I start to worry.
We can all relate to how you're feeling xxx
Thanks ticktoc, it did help to read over them. I am sure there is more anxiety to come. Generally I'm feeling okay about this pregnancy, but it's been 4 years since we started TTC, and I am getting old. I just want it so bad!!
I had no symptoms and here I am almost 33 weeks. I got to s point where I decided I am doing all I should and can do what will be will be. I am still scared deep down but now that the alien inside me moves and kicks it is more reassuring. It took a long time before I felt anything though Thanks to the anterior placenta.
I should practice what I preach :) it's exactly the same thing I say to others when they worry. I can't do anything about whatever is going to happen, so I might as well just let it be. Going to get off the iPad and do something constructive :)
Good advice myturn! Symptoms come and go and everyone's different so don't worry too much.
Having said that I've had enough pregnancies now to know how my body reacts and usually know when I should start to worry. Thankfully so far things seem pretty normal for me this time. If anything my symptoms seem to be coming on stronger and earlier than usual so hoping that's a good sign!
Hey girls :) I just thought I wld pop in here, I am feeling quite anxious but dont want to bring my bb group down with my worries!
I dont have any real reason to be anxious this time... everything has been perfect from the start... I guess once uve had a few miscarriages the fear never leaves u though :(
I am currently 15 weeks but have measured a week ahead from 9 weeks so bub is very healthy. Im not certain of my dates as I never got af after my d&c at 10.5 weeks (baby had died a couple days beforehand) im just going off early dating scan result.
The last 6 months have been a big rollercoaster ride.. pretty much having to do the first trimester twice straight after each other was a killer! But im here now and survived it! :) I just wish I cld relax now and be positive!
Im not seeing my ob. til the end of the month now and im dreading the big wait! I do have a doppler and can find babies heartbeat easily enough but the few seconds it takes to find it really stresses me out so I try and limit myself to one check a week... and during business hrs incase I need to go and see ob. for reassurance!
My placenta is anterior (sadly!) so im guessing I wont feel baby move for another few weeks.. it hasnt stopped me from obsessing about it though and constantly laying there waiting to get a sign that bubs is doing well.. I cant wait to get those first kicks!
I have a 2.5 year old DD so am already so blessed but am really looking forward to adding to our family... I just dont think ive let myself believe its going to happen yet.. its horrible to be feeling so negative! :(
Thankyou for reading this big all about me post, looking forward to getting to know u all. xx
welcome reet - it is nice to have others who understand the added stress that TTC after MC/loss brings with it. Even with all the poor results I had the first time I was pregnant - it was a really different level of stress than I feel this time.
:hug: So nice to hear that things are looking good for you though xox
welcome reet. it sucks to have anterior placenta when you have been through mc, I should know! I started getting vague movement which left me unsure but now I am getting a lot, it just takes longer to feel it with the placenta in the way. I am sure we all know what you are going through xx
Welcome reet :) Another anterior placenta over here - my first definite movement was at 19+3 & I got such a surprise that I had tears in my eyes. It was a beautiful feeling after all the stress & worry.
Sneaking in... Reet please don't worry about bringing our group down. Lots of us have travelled a version of that road. I have been so anxious too, for a miscellany of reasons. :hug:
Oh. My. Freaking. God.
Nausea kicked in this morning with a vengeance..... Feels like I am dying
Well.... I wanted symptoms...! So I shouldn't complain. But.... Wow, not the nicest feeling in the world....
Ha ha myturn! Gotta love that morning sickness! I always had a love hate relationship with it too - hate it but glad it's there to let me know I still have strong hcg levels. .. Hope it's manageable for you.
Reet hope you're doing ok. You said you have no reason to be anxious but I think you have every reason to be because once you've been through miscarriage and know the pain of that loss you would be crazy if you didn't carry a fear of that loss with you through any subsequent pregnancy. Glad you have the doppler to ease your mind a bit. Try to relax and enjoy the pregnancy as much as you can and let us know how things progress.
Thankyou so much girls for the warm welcome! :)
I am feeling much better now, I was worried and so anxious all weekend until finally yesterday arvo I pulled my Doppler out and made myself listen to babies heartbeat, I luckily found it straight away, its so reassuring! I hate that I need the reassurance though, why cant I just have faith!! :( Ive realised i need to keep my mind busy too, as soon as im not doing anything for long periods of time and just sitting around that's when the anxiety creeps in, weekdays are fine cos im normally taking DD to activities but on weekends I tend to stay at home way too much!
Kbudgie- woohoo on nearly being at the finishing line! So exciting for u!! Can u remember when u started feeling little kicks?
Ticktoc- Oh I cant wait til feel those first little kicks, it shld be happening for me in less then a month, hopefully! Did u just start feeling them straight away from the outside or did it take a bit longer? I started feeling DD from the outside at 17-18 weeks, I cant remember where the placenta was with her, im thinking it was anterior too and that's why I missed all the flutters etc and just went straight to kicks.. but im not sure. Im hoping that's the case, if it is I might only have 2-3 weeks to wait! Im sure I will still get nervous in between movements though, I remember freaking every morning when I wld wake up cos I hadn't felt DD move all night and then she wld take about 10 mins to wake up, I guess the worry never really disappears, even when they are earthside!
Myturn- thanks for the welcome! how are u feeling? Morning sickness is horrible isn't it! I never vomited thankfully, but I really felt like I shld have a few times! Its frustrating, while ur going thru MS all u want is for it to stop, but when u have a 'good' day u freak out! Well I did anyway when I was 9 weeks and raced off to ob.! crazy!
Desailly- I really do need to relax and enjoy being pregnant, I absolutely love being pregnant! I loved everything about it with DD right up until I was 40 weeks, I actually wasn't ready to have her yet cos I loved being pregnant so much! (I was still quite anxious with her though and now wish I hadn't been) I need to start enjoying the journey! :)
Wishing u the best of luck with this pregnancy, are u going to get regular scans/bloods etc and be closely monitored? Have u had any testing done to see why ur precious babies haven't been able to stick around? With my last preg I was crazy and was seeing ob every week and getting bloods etc done but I found it was more stressful then anything so I made a deal this time that I wld get basic bloods to start with (I didn't get progesterone tested which was hard for me!) and an early dating scan and then wait to see ob at 9 weeks. It was hard but it was also nice not analysing blood test results constantly etc. I figured if it was meant to be it was meant to be. Ofcourse in other peoples situations where progesterone support etc is needed its a different story though.
Alrighty bedtime for me, im so tired!! xx
My turn I want to like your post but it seems wrong to be happy that someone is so sick! Glad you're getting stronger symptoms but I hope you don't feel terrible for long.
Reet my first kick with the pregnancy was a big "I'm here mum!" But then I had to wait for more regular movements. DP has been able to feel kicks since about 21 wks but more so within the last 2 weeks
reet I think it was about 18 and then not all that often
Lol. Thanks ticktoc. It was only the one bad day so far. Yesterday was a bit better and today is better also. I just managed to eat a link lady apple for breakfast and actually enjoyed it. (Not so good with fruit on the best of days!) still a bit nauseous, but Sunday was a shocker.... Probably didn't help that DH has been away for the long weekend ans so I was feelin more sorry for myself :)
The nausea getting better however still makes me feel a bit anxious though - even though I know that it happens.
I dreamt last night that on Friday we saw the baby's heart beat and it was 170bpm.... Hoping it isn't THAT high in reality!!
Hi all Im very excited as my hcgs for 4 weeks 2 days came in at a massive 1761! That's by far my highest ever result for this stage so here's hoping that means this little one has implanted strongly and is doing well. Obviously still early days but nice to have something positive to hold on to :^) My only concern was it seemed toooo high... anyone else had hcgs that level at this stage?
Myturn How's that morning sickness? Mine's just kicking in. Kept retching whilst trying to help DS brush his teeth this morning...
Sounds good desailly, fx bubs has snuggled in nice & deep :)
Yay for good result!!!
I am feeling much better thanks! But of course that is scary in itself. My FS rang tonight to check how I was and make sure I had booked US and got referral paperwork etc. it was actually really nice to get his call. Felt like he was interested in doing a GOOD job, not just his job. And he said "fingers crossed for tomorrow".
Hi everyone, I am causiously joining this group again. I was here many moons ago and honestly thougt I wouldn't be lucky enough to be back.
I am 5w1d and due on the 10th of July 2014. My first scan is in 10 days on the 18th.
So far so good....
Congrats tilygirl. FX it's a sticky one!!
Today's scan was great!! Measured at 6w3d and heartbeat of 111 :)
Also FS just called to say the scan looked fantastic and congratulations :) it is perfect.
Woo hoo!!!! Such a nice feeling! So nice for him to call. It seems I AM pregnant after all!!
Congrats myturn! Glad scan went welk and little one is doing the right things.
Welcome tilygirl! Hope things progress well for you. I'll be 5 wks tomorrow so early days for me too.
Very tired at the moment and nausea kicking in. .. can't complain though. Happy to be having pregnancy symptoms :^)
Hi everyone how are you all going?
My hcg results for this week are very high again which is hopefully a good sign. 13570 at 5 wks 2 days. Not quite doubling every 2 days but still very high. Still a week and a half till scan though. So close yet so far. .. Very anxious to see if it looks viable or not.
Still feeling pretty terrible most of the time.... Tired, MS is variable, but essentially a constant feeling of crapness. But... It is reassuring to have the symptoms, and I am really feeling that this is going to be okay.
FX all is well on your scan.... And that time goes quickly!!
glad to hear your levels are nice and high x:
fx your scan goes well too. I hated the waiting
Hi all hope you're going well. I've still got strong pg symptoms - nausea, tiredness, sore breasts etc which is good. A little worried today though as yesterday I had some spotting and today ive got some sharp pain. Only been going for the past couple of hours but still stressing me out. Hope it goes away soon. .. still a week to wait till scan so I think Ill keep stressing myself out till then!
Scary desailly FX its sticking tight in there :hug:
i am am feeling better today, but was pretty miserable most days last week. Of course feeling better stresses me out, as this was the weeks lost the baby last time. But I am trying to remind myself that it's all okay for now - that's all I need to know for now.
I must admit to searching week 8 symptoms today though....
Feeling anxious today, symptoms feel better which is nice, but.....
It was about this time last time that we lost the baby :( although I do feel further along.
*hugs* myturn, it feels like forever between scans and feeling bub moving. Quite the torture when you have been through mc. hand in there xx
Hi all feeling scared. Just got my hcg results for this week and they are 46382 up from 13570 last week. The comment on the pathology report is "lower than expected for a continuing pregnancy". Spoke to my dr and he doesn't seem as concerned. Said as long as they're still rising it might be ok. .. Not a good sign though. :^( have scan on Monday so guess I'll find out what's going on then.
:hug: scary hey xox
I am crossing everything for you x
sometimes they write things on reports without thinking how it affects people *hugs* I hope all is ok xx
Had scan this morning and saw a lovely little heartbeat flickering away on the screen :^). So relieved. Still early days (7 wks) but dr said looking pretty good at moment.
How are the rest of you going?
