I was sure there was going to be two in there!! Maybe one is hiding :)
Love and hugs to you lovely woman - you deserve this!!x x
Oh Murray i cant tell you how happy i am for yoU!
When i first logged on i saw you had posted in the TTC thread and i nearly cried but I am so happy that all is well with your little baby cod!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Cod!
In my excitement of running out to Pregalates, I have locked myself out of our downstairs - location of the only toilet in our house. Waiting patiently with legs crossed for DH to come home and let me back in! Or I'm going in a bucket. All the neighbours I know are out or don't answer their door at night or are nosy old ladies from whom I am trying to hide this pregnancy!
I am not very fat yet! Although, DH made me walk into a wall last night, to see which hit first, belly, boobs, or nose. It was belly! So it's stretching out, bit by bit...
This morning, I woke up before my alarm, so I lay in bed with my arms stretched up, and I could see the bump all shifted off to the right and snuggled in there. Very cute. Got a little worried because it hadn't moved for a while, so I spent half the day jiggling it round trying to get something. And now the little darling is paying me back big time, and seems to be setting upa circus in there. It's beautiful.
Yaaaaaaay Murray Cod! So thrilled for you. THat's a thumping good heart beat! Hoooray! Sounds like you've had an epic long weekend. 12 hrs of driving...ouch! You must be numb! Hope you have a good rest now.
Ashie, welcome to the thread. Best of luck for the months ahead.
AFM: Well i've had a very stressful day and a half. I've had cramps on and off this pg but they felt like pg cramps- off to the sides which i've had before. But yesterday i started cramping low down across my tummy- felt more like AF cramps. And generally felt unwell, sore back etc. Just didn't feel right. Then last night the cramps got worse and i went to the bathroom and started bleeding. lots. I thought it was all over. But no clots (sorry if TMI) so still hoped against hope that something would still be there. My wonderful OB arranged a scan for me today. There is still a baby with a good heartbeat (122 bpm) and measuring just right for 6wks3d. There is still a clot and some thickening of the lining off to one side and Dr thinks that i lost a twin to this baby (and this was the bleeding). I'm very glad that i'm still pg but soo scared of having a roller coaster over the next few weeks and then just losing this one too. (Like last time: I bled and there was a heartbeat until 12wks when it stopped).
Oh Possum darling, this is just awful for you. I will pray that all will be ok, I wish there was a way to make this easier for us all. I am so pleased there is a beautiful heartbeat there, so sad you may have lost a little twin. Take care my darling and try get some sleep.xxxxxx
yeahhhhhhhh for heartbeat MurrayCod, see we all told you not to worry and now the doctor said as well. Glad the smile is back on your face and relax.
Take care, must be a big day for you today.
I just love this feeling of seeing part of your growing inside you.
Look after yourself and dont worry.
cha-cha for evening
Ric xoxx
Congrats murraycod i am so happy to hear that you got good news.
possum magic i am so sorry to hear that you may have lost a twin.
AFM: sorry that i have been lurking i started to spot and cramp just like i did with the other time that i had a m/c so i have been laying low and praying that i don't loss this one also. sorry if i have missed anyone sorry for being such a downer to good news
:dance: WOOHOO :happyforyou: Murraycod I am just so over the moon for you, you deserve it so much hunny. Now just Take some time for yourself and relax
Hello to all you other lovely ladies, sorry i havent been in for more persies lately, have been busy with work and have just got home from our 5 day holiday so hopefully ill be able to catch up and maybe get some persies done tomoro.
Take care all
Millyd – oh sweetie.....I have lost my libido completely and even if I had it, I would be too scared and too exhausted to do anything anyway. I try to be creative for DH, so we both can share intimacy, other than just through BD'ing. I know it's hard for him... but maybe that's why he's excited now and saying only 11 weeks to go.... I'll bet before 11 weeks seemed like an eternity, whereas now, it seems such a short time. DH and I are both hoping that when the stitch comes out at 38 weeks, that we might be able to (medically) up to ( libido) some BD. Probably not, but got to have something to look forward to.
But really the issue you're talking about is how to stay connected when UTD and how its easy for men to feel marginalised by pregnancy and for you to still feel attractive and desirable. There are ways to work through the minefield..... hope you work something out....... you are gorgeous, you know, it's just it doesn't feel like it if you're tired/sick/adjusting to changes....
SammyP – how are you doing? Are you feeling better? Sometimes the worry in pregnancy is a curse – we worry if we feel a particular way, we worry if we don't. It's good to see your ticker moving along.
Kit – do you have your scan date? It's hard to make those calls sometimes isn't it? Having to re-tell your experiences..... it's all a lot better once you do it.... I promise.
Ric – oh sweetie – I would LOVE to come for a cuppa and a chat..... I have had a really tough week. Thankyou so much for asking after me. It seems I become insular when the going gets tough. I had some minor but annoying reactions to the steroids I had to help bubs lungs mature ( a precaution in case bubs is prem), and then I focused on prem labour and also what I was and wasn't feeling, for myself and bubs, and then of course in the way of these things ( probably due to the insomnia) I was thinking about some pretty intense personal issues. All in all – I was lonely, bored, scared, frustrated, anxious and just feeling physically a little odd. So this past week? I have basically done nothing but feel sorry for myself and watch tv. I have shunned calls – letting them go to voicemail. Last night I decided that my own happiness was my own doing and wasn't anyone else's responsibility and I had the “power” to help myself. I was starting to resent people for not “taking more of an interest in me”. So I made a to do list – calls to make, things I wanted to do – put some books on hold at the library, recipes, BB etc. And I've done them and am feeling much better. So the timing of you asking about me, is just divine. THANKYOU, it really means a lot to me.
How are you going? The shorts to that movie look good. I am too scared to go to the movies but have been watching my fair share of DVD's. 10 weeks … time goes so slowly but so quickly, all at once.
Ashie – CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy... and welcome. Sweetie – pregnancy after loss is really hard. If the crazy lady comes to visit you like she is, that's ok... I still look for signs of impending doom.. I doubt those thoughts will ever be far away. I hope that your levels are rising and that that gives you some reassurance. Oh, also, INSIST, on getting that second opinion..... don't let the Dr fob you …. information is crucial and so is knowing you did all you could. So sweetie, if it's important to you, stand up for yourself and get that referral for a second opinion OR a referral to another Dr. You need all the support you can get, and if you aren't getting it then “time to cut your losses” and find a Dr who will give you that support. I know it's scary and tough, but you and your feeling are what is important.... I'll get off my soap box now. Just wanted to show you some support.
Audax – you had me ROTFL with locking yourself out of the loo! Hilarious..... I have never had much “bladder endurance” and have very little now... sometimes you just need to do what you need to do.
Murray – AWESOME news on little cod and glad you got some reassurance about the cramping..... sorry your little kitty went walkabout..... mine have just been divine..... beautiful little company cats. Although we now have a bare patch of dirt where a garden once was and me thinks it's becoming a cat toilet.... DH is happy as he is on litter duty so there are fewer deposits to clean up in the litter box, but DH hasn't worked out it will be his job to clean the dirt too! LOL. The other annoying thing is the little mites keep tracking dirt in to the house... at least its easy to see where they have and haven't been..... and it makes me laugh... think about it this way... cats are so suave and its always hard to tell where they have been, but not our boys at the moment! Its like they are leaving little post cards around the place.... OMG I think I am a crazy cat lady.....
Anyway, when is your next scan and or appointment? Oh BTW – the crazy lady comes to visit during pregnancy WAY more than TCC or the TWW..... and she's welcome here anytime. Do what you need to do to get through ok?
Ionna – thinking of you sweetie.
Possum – oh sweetie. I know only too well how hard this is for you. Even though I have experienced something similar, I have no words of advice... all you can do is take each day as it comes and hang on. I know it's a miserable time...... big hugs.....and hoping that the little tyke stays snuggly.....
MO4 - good to see you again. And look at your ticker..... ticking along nicely. How are you doing?
Elise - OMG - 31 weeks. I am so so proud of you. Hope you enjoyed your holiday .... how are you feeling?
Anyway, that's me for now. Sorry it's been such a long post. Thinking of you all my gorgeous ladies.
Dory sweetie thanx for asking about me. Im doing really well, 31 weeks i cannot hardly believe it. My time away was just lovely, very relaxing.
And how are you feeling now, sorry to hear you had a hard time the past few weeks but just think whatever happens from now is going to be ok, your little bub would have a great chance of survival.
Anyway better run, DP is calling me to go for a drive with him, dont know where.
Take care hun
Hi ladies,
Congrats Murraycod, i'm so happy you got a positive result.
I am now in the same boat as you were Murraycod in that i have my first early scan tomorrow and terrified of bad news. With my previous m/c they think the baby died about 5 1/2 weeks but i didn't actually loose it until 8 weeks. I'm about 6 1/2 weeks now so i am just prayer hey see a little heart beat.
I am a little more positive this time as i have been sick, and my boobs have been really tender too and i have been SO exhausted and my belly is really popping out - i think the girls at my work are already suspicious.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Take care.
MurrayCod - Congratulations, you couldn't have asked for better results. Can't wait until your 12 week one now.
Angelfish - How are you doing sweetie? I had a bleed in the first few weeks too and it's so scary. I hope yours has now stopped.
Possum - That's a great heartbeat! So sorry you lost one tiny bub but this little one still with you is fighting on and sounds like they are doing well.
Hi Ladies this is my first post in here. I had a ruptured ectopic in feb and then a BFP in April! I thought i was doing so well but in the past few hours i have learned on three people in my forums on BB having a loss and it has just thrown me :( I feel so sad for them and so scared that something is going to happen to this little one. It has taken a lot to get my head around the fact that this one will be a sticky one....now i just cant feel anything except scared... Sorry about the me post. I look forward to getting to know you all!
So when DH got home and I went bursting out the door to meet him, kind of hopping with my legs crossed, I told him what I'd done and he said "Why didn't you just go in a jar?" BOYS!!!
Well done for coming over Tegam! It's a good place to be... I find it pretty hard to discuss this pg with anyone who hasn't "been there" which includes MIL and SIL. It's hard.
Audax: Love the DH test of running you into the wall to see what hits first! lol! Glad to hear you're getting a nice bump that wriggles.
Dory: Sorry to hear you've had a blah sort of week. Very admirable that you have found ways you can control to try and start turning it around. Thanks for your kinds words too: I am pretty miserable at the moment (have had lots more bleeding today) but as you say there's nothing to do but sit it out and hope.
Kitfaerie: Did you book your scan? Remember you said it yourself: Information is good. It can make you happy! (I don't mean to be glib. I had my first scan yesterday and was terrified to look but i reminded myself that 'not looking' would not change the outcome i got so it was best to know rather than not know)
Angelfish: Thanks for thinking of me. I will keep everything crossed for you too. I hope you get only good news from now on.
Hi Tegam: Welcome to the thread. Great to hear your good news. I can understand why hearing about others' losses is difficult. But you have had a rough time already this year so hopefully now it is your turn for a smooth ride. How far along are you?
Hoping: GL for your scan tomorrow.
Millyd: thanks for your good wishes. How are you?
Eliselouise: glad you enjoyed your break.
Ric: HEllo!
AFM: Saw my OB today. He had the scan report and did his own scan today. Baby looks fine but i've had quite a lot of bleeding today both before and after i saw the OB so i'm feeling miserable. I just can't believe that this much blood can have a happy ending :( I really want this baby but feel like i'm not destined to have it. I hate this sense of doom too. I know it doesn't help. I wish i could hide under the covers and come out in about 5 wks (with good news of course!) Sorry for 'me' rant.
Sammeyp thankyou for asking yes the bleeding has stopped. I go in for another u/s on monday for my 8 week u/s i am hoping everything goes good but i cant get out of my mind that something bad will come out of it i wish that i could be happy go lucky about everything but i am always expecting the worst out of this whole thing.,
aww possum magic and angelfish i know how your feeling, i havent had no blood yet so far, but terrified each time i have a twinge i even got a digital test tonight as i havent had my bloods done a positive come up (phew) and it only took a minute or less! also i didnt need to wee so fingers crossed its a good sign.
thanks to all for your support, at least i know im not crazy for worrying, booking proper ob appt's this friday when i get bloods done hopefully wont be too long, i know he's going on holidays over school break so most prob will be after that.
i wish i could be excited all the time! and i usually am but when i get a twinge it sends me into panic mode or if i feel abit yucky down stairs then i freak out, even dtd last night even thou i made sure dh was very cautious lol door dh must think im a loony, but i think he understands, we only had til closer to the end of year to concieve or else we would never have another bub, and with early m/c's both confirmed and not confirmed it really made things look impossible, but now with this little one i have hope, and im really hoping he or she stays then things will be complete. so i am very excited each time i am having one of the symptoms even m/s cause i reminds me bub must be doing alright then!
