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.

Ok ladies, I don't know about the rest of you but all I seem to be doing lately is reading these stories of loss and sadness and then I start to second guess myself and my pregnancy!!

We need some happy happy joy joy otherwise the next 6mths of my pregnancy will be endured with self doubt and worry!!

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY LADIES!!!!!!!!



I feel a little better now...

Exciting news for us we have our first hospital appt on 7th April, I'll almost be 17wks by then, which I thought was a little late, but the woman at the hospital are wonderful and are actually going to call me if there is a cancellation.. They said though that 17wks isn't too late, and if I want to see bubs sooner we can get extra ultrasounds free at the clinic which I thought was pretty cool!!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND LADIES!!

Hope everyone is going well and ppl with MS to start slowing down (mine has and I freak out every second I realise that I'm not feeling like crap, then rememeber I'm starting my 2nd trimester and this is meant to happy lol)
