Have just stepped up a level in queasiness. Feels yuck, but hopefully means the hcg is rising and we're cooking up a viable little bundle in there!
Have nicknamed this one "Stitch" because ever since conception, my sewing room has been a flurry of activity, and I often wake up in the middle of the night dreaming of dresses and designs.
Dory: Sadly I only made it to 4 days no vomitting!! :-( Gotta love the toilet bowl, good thing tho my bathroom and ensuite NEVER BEEN CLEANER!! lol
Audax: Glad someone else is in the same boat as me, feels a lot better lol, still haven't done a thing since last post.. Cot is made though YAY
Gabrielle&Emersyn: I can feel the next 5 mths just fly by for sure.... it feels like weeks ago when our hospital appt was, now it's next Wednesday
Can't stay for long, not only am I working fulltime but i also go to school 2 nights a week, great fun right lol - but I had to tell everyone that yesterday I heard the BEST sound in the world...
OUR BABIES HEART BEAT!! YAY - i recorded it on my phone and it's now my ringtone, message tone, alarm LMAO, perhaps a tad too much but my DF and I can't stop listening to!!
LOTS OF HUGGS AND GOOD THOUGHTS GOING OUT TO ALL MY BB FRIENDS!!!
Hi everyone,
Snuggly - so good to see you here hun xx
Hope everyone is well and babies are treating you well.
AFM -I did a really stupid thing and bought a doppler, it arrived monday and couldn't find the heartbeat and i was really calm about it!! Tried again just now though and found the heartbeat..YAY!!! a great thing so i can go and enjoy our holiday that DH are heading away on for a few days!!! Won't use it much at all, especially when i can feel bubs moving more but i must confess i am a control freak and after my lossmstill a little on edge about some things!! I am feeling flutters and i would say i felt a kick last night in bed!! All getting exciting.....
Thinking of you all xx
Sparkels hunny,
how in the world do you buy a doppler.....bless your cotton socks xxxxx I want one, but I need the baby for the heartbeat .....oh well xxxx
Thought I would pop my head in as I have just had a bpf after a 3rd miscarriage at 5weeks the start of Jan - Af was late, I did a poas and got a BFP, then 3 days later did another with a BFP, then another 2 days, did a digital test that said not pregnant and AF came 2 days after that.
I had a funny cycle this month and o'd late and got my first bfp on Tuesday. I did another test yesterday which was bfp and then one this morning (just to check cos I am paranoid) which was really faint, so silly me, got the last digital one I was saving (they are from the UK and tell you how many wks after ov you are) and it came up Not Pregnant again - silly silly me.
Now I am really upset and scared, actually terrified that it's all happening again. The first poas were First Response Early which can pick up 12.5mgu, but the digital is 50mgu so here I am in tears, can't get to see the doc until Friday next week due to the holiday(s).
The thing is, I felt pregnant before I got the first BFP - massive and tender watermelons, vague nausea throughout the day, creamy cm and I still feel that way so I am trying to stay positive but it's proving very hard indeed.
Charlie cat - Don't beat yourself up sweetie, when you want something so bad, of course you are going to test.
My advice, try to put all that worry and doubt out of your mind... I know its hard. The more sensitive test you did picked up a BFP.
So for the weekend, just sit with that wonderful knowledge and joy that you got a BFP, it is such a precious feeling ( well apart from the symptoms... blah, hope your nausea is enough to keep you happy and not too much to stop you from eating chocolate).
Go gently...... sending lots of positive sticky vibes your way.
Audax snuggles - only 4 hours now. good luck.....big HCG vibes.
I have to wait out the long weekend! My results didn't come through when they were supposed to - GRRRRR! Will be going back to my old pathology friends next week.
CharlieCat - I wouldn't be too worried. If your result was, say 13 on Tuesday, it would have shown up on your FR. With 48 hours doubling time, it wouldn't have reached 50 yet, so is showing up not pregnant. Good luck, hun, we're all here no matter what.
Dory - glad your procedure went well. Do you have to wait for any more results, or can you (try) and breathe a small sigh of relief yet?
HPL - you're gonna have to move over at the toilet bowl, because my MS is back again too! All in all, out of the past 91 days, I have had four days without vomiting, but they still have had nausea! And my week of eating normally is now over Oh and lurv that you have a new ring tone!!
Emma - I don't like hearing MS stories like that! no no no! How did your u/s go?
Audax - I have been having some wierd dreams too. They say it happens with pg, but I haven't heard any reasons why? I had one about flying pig aliens the other night. In it I was scared sh..less, and even when I woke up, but then I realised what I had been dreaming about, and feeling frightened about and I just felt like an idiot! LOL
Sparkles - I have been thinking about a doppler too. Only thing is I think I would wear it 24/7 and never take it off!!
Hello CharlieCat. I am a POAS person too, and I hate that different tests give different results. Good luck and I hope it truly is a nice and sticky BFP.
AFM - well, I am not too sure what is going on. I just don't seem to feel much going on in there at all. surely by now I should be feeling something? I mean I feel a "twinge" like a pulling sensation, but have been told that is a stretching growing everything getting bigger feeling. And if I stand up after slouching down on the lounge and stand up the wrong way, I can give my self a stich, but I have really only felt "movement" that I know of twice. And am now getting kind of worried, because shouldn't I be feeling it by now? I don't have my next scan until 17 April (I'll be 21 and a bit weeks) and am now panicking that they'll tell me that the baby has long since died. It doesn't help that I have had a couple of days where I have found that I have done too much, and then been a complete right off the next day. I've even had DH put his ear to my abdomen to try and hear the heart beat, but he can only ever hear my normal abdo noises. I guess I am just having a bout of the pessimistics, and need to vent. Hopefully it will all be me just worrying over nothing. But just out of curiosity, should I be feeling movement and if so, how much, how often? I wish I could just relax and enjoy this......
Milly5 dont let yourself be worried by not having felt movements just yet. I only just felt my first tiny movement last week at around 19 weeks but as i say it was so small and could only feel it coz i was lying completely still. They say that in first pregnancys its normal not to feel anything untill after 20 weeks so im sure that everything will be just fine. Good luck with your scan on the 17th. Audax bugger about having to wait the long weekend for your results. If your anything like me that must be so painful coz im extremely impatient with things like that Charliecat welcome hun. Have you tested again since? Keeping everything crossed for you that it is a BFP. Sparkles YAY on feeling the flutters isnt it just the best, i felt them for the first time last week too and its very exciting. HPL wow you sound very busy, you must be exhausted, im tired just working full time. So cute about the heartbeat as your tone on your phone, i would love to do that.
Hello to everyone else i have missed i hope you are going well and growing nicely AFM things are going well, i have my 20 week ultrasound this friday and im so excited. Im also quite scared but i just keep telling myself that everything will be fine. I just cant wait know if i have a pink or blue bundle on board Will be sure to let you all know. Started feeling small movements last week too so that is quite reassuring in itself
Take care all
Audax - poor bugger. At least feeling sick does take up a lot of your focus! Poor Bugger. Seems like Milly5 and HLP are going to have to move over and share with you....
Elise- that IS exciting. LOOK at how far alng you are? I am so excited for you. It's ok and normal to be scared. I found the 20 week scan I had dissapointing and scary, becuase I didn't do any research into it and thought it would be like the nuchal - with lots of nice shorts of bubs in profile. Just in case you don't know, the 20 weeks scan is a morphology scan and the sonographer will be looking for all the vital structures and organs to see if the are present and developing, so lots of focus and time spent on individual parts of bubs. I have only ever had one, but that's what it was like for me. I am going to ask the sonographer to give me a few profile images of bubs this time around. It's pretty exciting to feel the "quickening" isn't it?
Milly - don't worry about not "feeling" bubs yet, particularly if this is the first time you've gotten this far along. There are so many factors, first of all, your abdominal muscles will still be "tight" ( rather than loose) so that makes it harder and also, you're not quite sure exactly what to look for. For Amelia, I thought I was starting to feel the flutters, but it wasn't definite nor all the time, even at 21 weeks I was still uncertain. Now, though, I am fairly sure I have been feeling them for a while, which surprised me. I suppose there have got to be some positives to all that stretching and heartache...but then again it could just be my wacky GI tract! Who knows, it makes me feel better to say its bubs.
About the proceedure, thanks for asking. I am not sure for me there is a time to breath a genuine sigh of relief, except maybe after 30 weeks when bubs has an excellent chance of surivial without too many complications if born prem, although every day after 24 weeks is welcome. I am not trying to be meladramatic.
I will be monitored closely, at least every 2 weeks my cervix will be measured ( either internal manual, or internal dildo cam (u/s) or external u/s - but worth it) and I am going to ask the Dr about the benfits of testing me for fetal fibroconnectin levels ( an indicator of that prem labour is likely). Luckily I get on well with my ob and its no hassle for me to get to his rooms, given that I will be there a lot!
But having said all that, I am quietly confident, that I will be holding a healthy bubs at term. If I wasn't quietly hopeful, I wouldn't be on this journey. If history is an indicator of the future, it doesn't bode well for me, but I just try to take each day as it comes and be thankful for what I have today. It's all I can do to keep myself from going around the twist. But all the optomism goes out the window whenever I feel a twinge or cramp or back ache - my immediate thought is - am I going into labour?
Sounds tough, but I read a book by Darci Klein called "To Full Term, a Mothers triumph over miscarriage", and her pregnancy journey was truly truly frightening and inspiring. So when I feel sorry for myself, I think, it could be so much worse.
Charliecat - hope you are hanging in there girl.
HPL, Gabrille and Emersyn, MillyD - how are you doing?Hope easter has kept you busy with enough time to rest.
Hi to everyone else - Laney, Angelic... I am going on memory here, which is not the best.....
Hi ladies,
Congratulations to all on your BFPs!
There are quite a few familiar names in here and its so good to see so many good stories.
Looking forward to getting to know you all in the short time i have left.
Hi all,
Congrats to any new BFP holders!!
Hope everyone had a nice easter weekend, we went away and it was lovely and i got another definite kick while away!!!
As for the doppler , i used it again this morning and found a nice strong HB of 157bpm straight away, i'd say if you are calm enough to cope if you cannot hear a HB then go for it and get one. I had convinced myself that it may never work and coped really well when i couldn't find it, but i think until you are in that situation you don't know how you will react!! Starting to get a real little pot belly now, which is exciting and also bought some material for some curtains for the nursery, its all beginning to seem real!!
Have midwife appointment next week, ob appointment the week after and 19w scan two weeks after that, its all getting exciting now!!
Thinking if you all xx
