    Snugglybean - thrilled to see you here. As I've mentioned in another post, so very pleased for you. And you've been so patient too, waiting until you could try again.

    Sparkles - yay for the positive u/s result. It's such a relief isn't it.

    Sorry I haven't kept up with everyone. Just off in my own little world. Finally starting to believe this is real - the baby bump and stretchmarks are a give away. Just waiting for those first flutters. Still get bad days of fear, but I'm working on that, even got some homeopathic drops to help with it.

    I hope everyone is well

    Sparkles - aweseome!! well done. it is so nice to see you so happy. I know the feeling!

    Snugglebean - sorry you are so sick...... hopefully a day off work will help? I found blackmores morning sickness formula really took the edge off for me.( giner and vit b12 I think) Didn't make it go away, but made intense nausea bearable.

    Tash - Sorry to hear you are struggling but awesome on the 16 weeks! The flutters will be there before you know it, or realise it. Sneaky little things that they are.

    AFM - still ALL good. 13 weeks.

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry, been laying low with the sickness. Just been too much effort to drag myself on here unfortunately.... but today is a better day!

    Glad there is so much good news flying around at the moment. Just what we all need!

    I am 9 and half weeks and doing well. For the first time ever my ob has not ordered 10 week scan......can't decide if I'm happy about that or not! But trying to be positive.

    Will jump on again soon, but sending happy thoughts to everyone until then. Keep smiling!

    HI ladies,

    Sorry to have been a bit quiet, I too have been "laying low" due to morning sickness! Still! It really is meant to be over by now everyone keeps telling me (except of course those horror stories where it goes for 20 weeks, or worse, for 9 months!). Just as well potato chips have vit b12 in them, because I think that's the only vitamin I must be getting LOL!

    Yay snugglybean!!!! glad to see you here!!

    Yay sparkles!!! great news about the scan!!

    Yay dory!!! 13 weeks!!!

    Welcome Emma!!

    Hi Maggie, HPL & Tashybabe!!!

    ladies, and even if I only pop in occaisonally, know that I think of you all often

    Maggie, Milly - good to see you both feel good enough to get on to BB. Well done. Enjoy the moment. Even if I don't always remember to ask how you are, I do think of you.

    AFM - well, I have decided to have the cerclage and go in Thurs 25th March. It was a really tough decision to make, as you all know from my tortured posts, but I am really comfortable with the decision I have made. It doesn't mean I am not just a wee bit anxious about the risks involved, but if things don't go to plan, I am am reasonably confident that I won't tie myself up in knots with self recriminations and guilt. I might for a little while, but not long term. I just really feel it is the right decision for me. Filled out the hospital admissions forms and spoke to the ob today.

    It's odd though, despite feeling really comfortable with the decision, today I am feeling really sad and lonely.... I suppose just feeling a wee bit sorry for myself. I am teary and flat and just want to shut myself away from the world. Probably precipttated by some different feelings in my lower abdoment this morning which turned out to be wind but had me on the verge of calling the doctor after only the first different feeling. The feelings were distinctly different from the feelings Ihave had associated with pre term labour, but still enough to put me on edge and burst that lttle bubble of invincibility I somehow manage to build. Oh well its to be expected, just have to get through it.

    If I ever didn't know it before, I do today, I am an emotional eater. I just feel like getting all the naughties I can and just eating them. Pure decadence and indulgence. I haven't though

    elise - yeah, feels awesome to be here! I was really sick last time too, and unfortunately having had a molar preg, being sick is not necessarily a good sign for me. But I think it feels different to last time, so we'll see.

    dory - awesome choice on the cerclage. Whichever way you went, I'm really glad you have made and owned that decision. Good luck with it chicky.

    I'm slowly coming back down to earth now, especially after being back at work today! Need to sit down and nut out whether or not I am going to continue working, and for how long. One the one hand, we can survive without the money if I give up now, and then I can rest up and give this pregnancy the very best shot. On the other hand - what if it's disaster again? I don't want to give up a job that I love and end up with all that heartbreak. At the moment we're thinking I'll stick it out til Easter and check out what my betas are up til then, and maybe make a decision later.

    Hi Ladies, It has been a while for me.. Glad to read everyone is doing well..

    So happy to read your procedure went well Dory, was thinking of you this week.

    Milly5: I hear you on the MS i am on day 3 of no vomitting YAY, so happy considering it was up to 12 times a day from week 3 :-( glad it's settled down but at the same time freak out that something might be wrong - im crazy i know...

    Welcome everyone else, sorry not many persies tonight, trying to get the nursery room cleaned!!

    My DF and I bought our house Sept last year, we moved in just after our m/c, so the nursery room was our dumping room I didn't want anyone to go in there, now though we need it, so I am panic mode trying to clear it out. On the plus side I found all our winter clothes lol!!

    We're putting together the bubs cot this weekend YAY!!

    Take Care Everyone!!

    sorry I've been so inconsistent with my posting here...

    Tomorrow i have my first growth ultrasound, I'm sure that everything will be fine, but there is still a little bit of me that is a bit worried they'll find something wrong... guess it's a fear you never really get past when you're pregnant! I'm in my 3rd trimester now, and I can't believe how fast it's all going... seems like just y/day I got my first faint bfp @ 11dpo, and had no idea if it was an evap or not!

    Hope.Positive.Love - can be hard to get back into all the baby stuff, after you've had a m/c, but then you realise your pregnancy is flying by & all of a sudden things need to be put together etc.. scary & exciting! I need to put my cot together - to find out what parts are missing. blah.

    Milly - my m/s started settling down around 16 weeks as well, it was a godsend.. with Gaby I had it until 24 weeks - then it came back at 27 weeks.. not fun! lol

    Bonham - congratulations on a wonderful scan!

    Hello to everyone else

    HPL - I was wondering why you were so quiet! OMG - that m/s is just so tiring. You must have felt like all you ever did was vomit. I am so glad that things have settled down. So it would be 6 days today without vomitting, if your trend continued. I hope so. You will ge your nursery done!

    Audax - sorry you had such a bizzare dream Sometimes they can be unsettling.

    Gabrielle & Emersyn - how did your scan go today?

    Milly5 how you doing?

    Hi to everyone else, I am short on time and don't have my usual time to respond. Maybe tomorrow? Take care.
