    hi all. I've been AWOL for a while now, not posting, but lurking. Sorry if I don't get to everyone

    Greenslw - congrats on the birth of Lincoln. You must be over the moon

    LittleOnes - when is bub due again?

    Karen Van - you wrote a post a wile ago I forgot to thank you for. It was very helpful whilst I was having a freak out

    Chuckie/eliselouise - great news about the scans

    Dory - glad the bleeding's stopped

    Sunny - that nurse needs a damn good slapping for scaring you like that

    I hope everyone else is well

    AFM. I'm counting down to the NT scan on Friday morning. I am absolutely petrified of not seeing a hb again. Or getting a bad result/ false positive. I've been poking my abdomen trying to find a fundus but I have no idea what I'm doing, so am giving up for now. It's weird to think there may be a little creature in side my bouncing around but I can't feel it. Anyway, I don't want to concentrate on bad things happening but I'm also trying to prepare myself for the worst...not sure how to do one without the other....Take care all

    greenslw - good to see you back in here Congrats again on little Lincoln!

    karen van - liking the sound of your photos by the way. I neglected to mention that earlier. My sis wanted to do some like that for me but I'm too chicken!

    tash - bubs is due two weeks tomorrow - 23rd. I'm sure your NT scan will go beautifully on Friday morning. It will be an exciting and relieving time for you. I've also tried to find fundus but it's totally beyond my knowledge! I only recently found out that they want the measurement to be around th same number of weeks preg you are for it to be normal growth. Always wondered how they knew if it was good or not!!

    AFM Ob did an internal this morning and found that my cervix is very firmly sealed shut and absolutely not getting ready to let go. She is quite happy to induce me on due date though so that's a great piece of news.

    Hey ladies hope you are all well.

    I had the 1st blood test to check my HCG levels, my dr said to have another in a weeks time but i'm not sure if thats right or not. I'll have the scan sometime next week.

    Hello Ladies,

    Bonham- Are these your first blood tests babe, did they do any before your previous scan?

    Sparlkles- so sorry I missed your post last week. Congratulations on the BFP sending you heaps of

    Milly- how you doing have not heard from you for a few days?

    Littlones- so glad you got your induction date that you were hoping for

    AFM- Tashybabe I'm with you. I am doing okay most days but feeling a bit stressed today. It's just so hard to be at this stage, you have no bump no kicking all you can do is hope everything is okay in there. It seems like years between blood tests and like forever before my first scan. I don't want to wish my pregnancy away but I just want to skip to where I don't feel so damn scared.

    Sunbeam: these were the 1st bloods i've had taken for this pregnancy, i didnt have any taken before i had the ultrasound last week. Why i dont know, considering the dr i see was the same dr that did my D&C in November last year. Hope your doing well oh well thinking i'll have a 2nd blood test done on Thursday when i go into town again.

    hi girls, not sure when this new thread started or how much I've missed but "hello" to everyone

    sunbeam I kinda feel like I"m wishing the pg away too but I just can't wait for the 1st tri to be over.

    tashybabe good luck at that NT scan!

    LittleOnes AKA SFP not long to go now!

    Bonham I thought they would test your HCG 2 days in a row to see if it's dropping? I am no expert though...?

    I have started to relax a 'little' I can see the light at the end of the tunnel as it's only another 3 weeks till we get the 'all clear'

    Hope everyone is well

    Bonham - When do you get the results of your blood test you had today? Thursday will be a good gap to clearly see what is happening. I have my next test on thursday too so I'll be stressing with you.

    Cherished- so glad that you are so near to feeling safer with this pg.
