possums & buliej - It's great to see you here. I know you'll both be back soon.
megsmum - I hope bubs stays put a little longer so that you have time to recover before her arrival.
WTH - Congrats on getting to the 3rd trimester. Goodluck with the GTT results. Your DD is so cute!
zstar & lauren - and congratulations on your pregnancies. Wishing you both a H&H and sticky 9 months. zstar I've just come back after having some time off BB. It just took too much energy to try and be supportive of everyone - especially my TTC friends. You need to do what is right for you and if you do need some time out we'll be here when you have the strength to come back. As WTH and megsmum have both said, the odds are in your favour.
Karen - I hope your iron picks up soon. Goodluck with the midwife appt.
greenlsw - Goodluck with telling your managers. You're not being a sook. You've been through enough so you shouldn't have to worry about your bosses emotions too. Let us know how it goes.
chappas - hi
Theresa - Great to see you doing so well.
sunny - Congratulations. 3 BFPs?! I would definitely say you're UTD. Goodluck with the GP tomorrow. And it is definitely normal to feel nervous about a BFP after a m/c. Just take it one day at a time.
Meredith - Congrats on making it to the 3rd trimester. Thats so cute that DS can't wait to meet his sister.
rach - I think the butterfly was Lilli too. That's so beautiful. Of course she's watching over her earth family. Well done on picking a name.
erybery - Hope your OB appt went well.
human bean - Congratulations and welcome to you too. It's so great to see so many women joining in just a couple of days. I had about 1 day of feeling over the moon about my pg'cy and then I kind of went numb. I just focused on taking one day at a time. Now I'm up to counting weeks. Wishing you a H&H and sticky 9 months.
AFM - Sorry, still no pics. DH hasn't connected the scanner and I'm terrible with cables. I'll ask a colleague at work to help me tomorrow. I had my 20 week appt this morning and finally got to meet my midwife (she was on leave for my last appt). She is awesome! Not that the others weren't any good. There's just something about this woman that makes me feel like I'm in really good hands. Oh and I think I felt my first kicks tonight. Woohoo!
Hannah - Isn't the kicking wonderful! My bubs kept me awake all night last night wriggling around!
I had my Ob apoint yesterday and all is looking good, the Ob said to me this seems like its been the longest pregnancy to him and Im like (hey don't I know that!) We got another pictue, she was sucking the umbilical cord, so cute!
My GTT results came back fine so I can eat all the carbs and sugar I want! yay!
Just thought I would announce the arrival of our miracle boy, Maison Edward Heane. He arrived safely on the 16 July, 2009 at 1211pm after a 6 hr induced labor. Maison weighed 2.880kgs. A tiny little thing but a good eater so he should catch up with his weight.
Thank you ladies for being so supportive I could not have done it without this thread or the ttc after m/c thread. I wish you ladies all the best in your pregnancies and hope that you all give birth to beautiful healthy babies.
I'm new to this forum as I have come accross from the TTC thread. I am reluctant to leave that thread (and I am still hanging around), those girls are awesome and I can't wait for more of them to join this thread.
Just got a BFP last Wednesday and of course I had to test again (to make really sure) on Friday. I really wasn't expecting it as I thought DH and I had missed the boat this month. I had a pelvic US a couple of weeks ago when I thought I was about to ovulate, only to be told that I already had. I was pretty disappointed as I was sure we would have missed the boat. Then to my surprise I have got 2 BFP. My boobs are massive and very sore, my lower back is sore and I have some AF style cramps which concerns me, but I understand that these can also be pg symptoms.
I have a little boy who was born in Jan 2007, I then got pg again and was due when he was 2 and a half. Perfect timing I thought, and of course having had a problem free pg told everyone straight away. I then mc at about 13 weeks, had a D&C and TTC for 5 months (as my ob wanted me to wait a couple of months before getting pg again). I was beginning to think that something was wrong, hence the pelvic US. I am very apprehensive this time around and DH and I have decided to keep it to ourselves. Although that is difficult as most people know that we have been trying, so have been asking me.
Sorry for no persies, I just wanted to introduce myself and hope to get to know you all a little better as time goes on. I hope I am in the right place.
Congrats Tam and welcome to the world Maison! The first bubba born since i have joined this thread. Soooo exciting!!!!! Bring on the bubbas! From what i can see there should be a fair few rolling on in very soon........yeh!!!!
i hope everyone else is having a good day. bring on the week end. to you new pg girls - lauren and sunny and anyone else i have missed - i hope you are staying positive and taking good care of yourselves!
afm - feeling really postive, strong and healthy. i think i have started to get ms. 2 days in a row around 8am (usually when i am coming to the final spoon full of my porridge) i get queezy weird in my head and tummy. it seems to pass around 10:30am. strange. i have it again now. rides at the ekka ect make me sick and it feels like i have just got off a ride. i didn't get any pg signs with my 1st pg. apart from that all is good. had to change the appointment on my 1st scan so dh could be there. 17 days to go. my 'one day at a time' is working a treat.
Congratulations Tam on the birth of Maison Edward - what a lovely name!
Thanks for the welcomes - I agree with zstar - taking things just one day at a time is working for me too and I'm slowly getting more excited as each day passes.
zstar - No worries at all Hope it all helped and that you are feeling better about things this week. The m/s sounds promising though, mine was very on and off this time whereas with DD it was constant, so if you get a break anytime during the day from it try to enjoy it! I never got much in my pg that miscarried either
lauren - Those numbers sound great! All the best for your next scan, I'm sure it will go well.
Hannah - Yay for feeling your first kicks! It is a wonderful feeling, I actually feel only squirms now LOL not too much room in there anymore! And glad to hear your midwife visit went well, I really do think a good midwife is worth her weight in gold especially when you are in labour.
human bean - Congratulations and welcome, all the best for the next 8 months or so!
erybery - Glad to hear the ob appt went well and yay for being able to eat all the carbs you want!
Easha - Hope the move went smoothly I know how you feel about the penguin waddle LOL
WTH - Ding dong
Rachel - Congratulations and welcome I'm so glad you are feeling so positive about this one, I think it really helps when you are in a good headspace with it all All the best!
to everyone else that I've missed, buliej (GL for this cycle!) Theresa, mollycat, chappas, Karen, Meredith and Rach and anyone else that I've missed - hope you are all well.
AFM, well still struggling with this blasted cold. It is mostly gone now, but it has left me with a horrid cough that we are pretty sure is bronchitis I saw the ob today and he has told me to get some cough medicine into me and try to get rid of it before this baby makes an appearance, which could be anytime now. The head has moved further downwards again, so he is pretty sure things are on their way even though I haven't felt any signs yet. I'm back to see him next Monday if nothing happens in the meantime, I imagine that I might get the induction chat then, but we'll see. I'm pretty sure he is hoping I won't need it - me too!
