    emmy83 - i am so sorry this is happening to you again. i can't imagine how you feel. it must be such a shock. you take care of yourself and hang in there. we can't give up. all this pain will be worth it when we are holding our little babies. be kind to yourself and i hope to see you back here very soon. you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    human bean - good to hear all is going well with you. nice to get that first ob appointment out of the road. i to am hanging out for 12 weeks to take a bit of load off.

    megsmum - thanks for your words. it sounds exactly like me. it has given me comfort. thanks.

    afm - i'm doing ok. the news of sammy and emmy has upset me terribly. i am so sad for them. i just can't imagine it happening again. you have to stay strong and have to be brave in this game. my blood tests came back fine. my brown stuff has backed off. now its just speckled little dots when i wipe myself sometimes. i have a headache and ms has returned. not to its fullest but it is back. so, hopefully im in the clear for now. i don't have another scan until 12 weeks for the down syndrome testing. if i'm anxious i will ring ob and have one sooner. i just keep thinking of the day i will have my own baby to love and care for and days like this will be a distant memory.

    WTH hope you're feeling better soon.

    Josh'smum how exciting for first OB app I can't imagine what pg would be like with a 2.5 year old. Tired thinking about it.

    MeredithD sorry about no 4 d scan. I'm so happy you baught a wig, Good to look after yourself you are the most important person.

    Pash cool info re Men and hormon levels. Funny DF is off "special cuddles" and I'm totally chaising.

    HannahD good Idea to clean out first, I'm thinking the same thing, but it's hard not to spend.

    HI megsmum glad all is going well with Emma

    I'm sorry for you loss Emmy

    Esha, so envious of one more day of work. Hope more rest = lower BP

    Human Bean I think my dark cloud left around 12 weeks, not long to go. Glad OB went well.

    zstar I'm glad you're spots are easing off and blood test came back possitive.

    chappas how's the physio going? I see a massage therapist but thinking of physio

    ATM: OB went well saw little one looks so human now. Still staying storng on not finding out. BP was great! 125/70 I have been getting heart flutters which was worrying me but all fine. Had my hair done which has lifted my mood. Feeling bubs all the time now, it's great. I go for my US on the 31st which is so soon very excited.

    All is busy but working which is the main thing.

    Thanks for all your congrats got my ring back today *right size* and I'm over the moon DF keeps looking at it too. Very cute.

    Hope it is ok for me to indulge in a "me" post...

    Happy to say the sinus has subsided, but I still have a nasty cough as a hangover from the heavy cold. I saw my ob yesterday. The baby is doing well - HB 145 bpm, good visible level of amniotic fluid and excellent cord flow. I have gained good weight and have nice BP.

    But.... it would seem that bubs is low - very low. I have been told the baby will almost certainly come early and to pack my bags "NOW". Was not told when I might go into labour, though I have a growth-scan in two weeks time.

    Panic-stations for DH and I. We had not dared get too ahead of ourselves with this PG - with our MC history it felt like we were tempting fate. So we are a bit unorganised (though of course there is less to do this time around than when I was PG with DD).

    So I am now facing the knowledge I will now almost certainly be having an emergency CS, rather than making it to the elective CS. A friend of mine just had her first elective CS after two prior emergency CS. She said she couldn't believe how much better the recovery was. The other hard part is the idea that baby is quite possibly starting out with NICU. I'm just I get to 34 weeks so I can have the baby where I live.

    The other thing is I just can't stop coughing. I really want this cough to go as it would not help my stitches, etc after a CS. Being so low, it may also break my waters or bring on contractions. Had super-strong BH yesterday, but not so bad today.

    Sorry to ramble - just trying to wrap my head around this bombshell. Could be worse, like I said, bubs and I are doing fine. I just thought I had a bit more time up my sleeve.

    WTH x

    Where's the hope -Hi my friend ... I was lurking hun and read your post. I was suffering last week with a cough and infection that would clear a room, and was really worried it was going to affect this cycle, I know hun, it's completly different to your situation, however I went to accupuncture, I layed on my tummy, hard for you to do,so you may need to sit up or something, I had needles put in the back of my neck, was rubbed with a gorgeous concoction of smelling things, and had some cupping to move the cough from my lungs, and did it work, TCM therapist said I would feel better that night, I did. Over the last 3 days I am left with a small amount of residual coughing, not the chest rattling cough I had earlier. HTH xx

    Hi to everyone

    WLAB - ain't you the sweetest I think Meredith (?) also recommended accupuncture for my cold. Might see if I can get in. Wishing you all the best with this cycle
