Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss May 2009

I just thought I would stick my head in and say hi. I had a :bfp: a couple of days ago and now I am just waiting for the results of the confirmation blood test. The doctor said on Friday that I was four weeks and five days pregnant according to her charts.

I alternate between being really pleased and being terrified I will have to go through another loss. Last time, apart from a bloated stomach, I really had no symptoms. This time I feel queasy and have a funny taste in my mouth so I am taking that as a good sign.

It's great to see a couple of people I know here as well. Hi Josh'sMum and Zstar!

Hi HannahD I just wanted to say I really love your avitar, it is very cool. No belly yet?

Hi Mel how's things going for you?

Welcome Sammy :dance: congratulations. when do you know results? I can totally understand the excited but terrified

ATM only half an hour to go :leap: assignment time is always so challenging at work. Going out for pizza tonight with friends, really tired but can't always be a home body.

Have a good weekend all :grouphug:

Welcome Sammy - Ive seen your journey through my lurking in the TTC mc/l thread! I'm really praying this will be a sticky bub. The anxiety your feeling is what all of us who have experienced loss have felt! big hugs xox

Hi ladies,

Just posting to let you know that I still have bub on board! Thanks so very much for all the well wishes, but I actually decided on Friday afternoon after a chat with my ob to postpone the induction until this week. I haven't had much chance to post until now :redface:

He was very supportive and suggested that maybe a better way to go would be to have CTG monitoring and wait until I am a week overdue to give the induction a better chance of success. So despite my continuing worry about bub, I decided that I have to trust him as he is the expert. And also in the end, I had some serious concerns about coping with an induction, so decided I wanted to give myself a bit more time to go into labour myself.

So there you go! I can't quite believe that I'm still here, but I am and hoping like mad I go into labour in the next couple of days. The new induction day is Wednesday afternoon for the gel and waters broken on Thursday morning. I promise you I won't be pulling out of that one!

:grouphug: everyone and welcome SammyP, congratulations on your BFP.

Hi Ladies,

SammyP: Welcome- I have been waiting for you to drop in. Your feelings are exactly like I have been feeling and very justified. All any of us can do is just take the best care we can of ourselves and hope for the best.

Meg's mum: Best of luck for Wednesday, I bet you can't wait to get that little bundle into your arms.

Eryberry: My blood pressure with DS went through the roof after about 34 weeks, and with my 2nd pg it elevated straight away. I was told to rest and I ended up going 8 days over my due date with DS. Just take it easy- and enjoy that you have been told to take it easy and your not just being lazy.

Greenslw: Good luck with your assignment, and enjoy the pizza. DH has requested roast beef tonight so that is what we are all having. I have just put it in the oven so we can eat right at 6pm. Early night for all of us.

:hello: to all the other lovely ladies on this thread.

AFM: Still feeling quite anxious, although my boobs are still really sore and MASSIVE, I have been feeling a little unwell and DS is really tiring me out. It sounds funny but I feel reassured when I am not feeling well.

Hope you have all had an awesome weekend.

MegsMum :hug: hang in there.

Josh'sMum, My boobs were sore for about 8 weeks, then ok, now sore and growing again. I'm going to cause accidents! Roast Beef sounds nice.

ATM: told my dad the news today his eyes popped out of his head (web cam) he's in Canada. Was great Told my step daughter too (she's 20 but :rolleyes: not mentally!) but that went ok too. DP is cooking tea and I'm for the first time ever trying to make my own chicken stock. Yep how domestic am I.

Finally decided on white for the bubs room, no built in robe just replace the one in the passage (old and crusty) and get a nice pine wardrobe (portable) and less room taken in the room (it's not a huge room) and I dont want it to be all cupboard! What a relief.

Was up at 2.35am, finally got lured back to bed by DP :redface: at 5am. then the phone at 5.30, 6.30, 7, then DSS phone at 7.30. Then Up :wall: but I haven't had a night like this in ages, so I'm not too deflated, and making a decision is sooooooo good for me right now.

:grouphug:

Good luck this week Megsmum - I've been wondering how you've been going so thanks for the update!

Welcome SammyP and congrats - good luck with your test results.

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend and is feeling good :D

SammyP - Congratulations and welcome. Goodluck with your test results. I understand the mix of excitement and fear. Your symptoms sound promising though.

greenslw - Thanks, I like my avatar too. I can't decide if I really want to change it with a belly or not. Yay for picking a colour for bubs' room.

megsmum - If you have concerns about an induction, then it sounds better to give yourself more time to labour naturally. Sending truckloads of *labour vibes* your way, hun.

josh'smum - It is funny how feeling unwell can be so reassuring. You should've seen me on here, jumping up and down with excitement after my first bout of vomiting. lol

:hello: to everyone else

:cheer: I am thrilled to announce that Megsmum has had her little girl! :cheer:

Here is a link to the birth announcement:

Can't wipe the grin off my face :D

Luv WTH xx

SammyP - wahooooo!!!!

I have been waiting for you!!!! Soooo happy for you. Stay positive. I look forward to sharing the sticky journey with you. I keep getting told ms is such a good sign - well if it is i definatley know i have a bubba in my belly. Blah!

Congrats megsmum and a big welcome to your little girl!

joshsmum - mmm the ms is just great. my 24hr hangover is fantastic. some days i cope better than others. my bb are sore too. i had a massage the other day and it was not fun lying on them. i didn't have a lot to start with so i am liking the growth. i keep hanging on for the 12 week mark when the ms should go! bring it on!

big hi to everyone else out there and i hope you are all healthy and happy.

afm - just had 3 days in melbourne. went and saw jersery boys show. excellent. i can't believe i was in melbourne and didn't have 1 coffee. still can't stand the thought of one. i lived for my coffee every morning. i am getting used to the fact that i no longer run my body - it runs me. i am in the middle of drinking my 1 litre of water for our first scan in 1 hour. looking forward to it. i got out my scan from my little angel and had a look at that this morning. might be time to let that go. no point in hanging on to it. feeling a bit emotional today. looking forward to the scan but i guess it still doesn't guarantee anything. anyway, i will pick up.

I have tears of joy in my eyes - This is the most wonderful news! Congratulations. :hooray:

Megsmum - What wonderful wonderful news. Congratulations to you my fishy friend and welcome to the world beautiful Emma. Wow - a one hour labour - I am impressed. :clap::dance::happyforyou::happyforyou:

Also want to send a big hello to everyone else in this forum. It is lovely to see some new people joining in with BFPs and lovely to see everyone elses tickers moving along.

AFM: all good - starting to pack (moving house at 36-38 weeks!!!) Am on leave from day job so that is good as sooooo tired all the time. Hopeing next 7 weeks goes quickly.
:grouphug:

Congratulations megsmum and welcome to the world Emma Jade

:happyforyou::leap::confetti::cheer:

1 hour labour! Wow! I guess she was in a hurry after all.

zstar - Goodluck for your scan. Let us know how it goes. I still have the pic of my angel and he (she) had already grown wings by the time I had the u/s. I never look at it - its tucked away in the bottom draw of my bedside table - but I like knowing that I have it. Only let it go when you're ready hun.

babymiracles - :hello: Goodluck with the move and fingers crossed your bundle stays put until you get settled.

Yippeee on the arrival of Emma Jade!!! Wonderful news.
Hope everyone else is well. Will try and pop back in soon for more persies

hey

just had 1st scan and all is good. it is in the right spot, measures 8wks 1 day and heart beat 139 per min. ultrasound guy said everything was as good as it could be at this stage. phew!

have doc appointment tomorrow to get blood test results then ob on monday. measuring from my last period i am 7 wks 3 days so what date do i now go buy???

first little mile stone under the belt, bring on the next one!

hannah - thanks for your words, might just hang on to it for now...

Megsmum - what fantastic news and what a lovely name. Congratulations!

zstar - It must be a huge relief to have your scan and hear good news. Hearing and seeing that baby's heartbeat is very reassuring.

My blood test confirmed my pregnancy but it was quite low last Friday at 46 IU/L. It only put me at between 3 and 4 weeks and by my calculations I thought I would have been just over 5. The doctor said not to worry and to come back and have another test in a couple of weeks. He said it only really matters if it drops.

I am keen to put on a pregnancy ticker but I am worried it might come up in my posts on the TTC thread. Will it appear on posts I made previously? I heard there is a box I can tick or something like that to ensure I can keep it off future posts.

Congratulations Megsmum! hip hip hoooooorrrrrayyyyyyyyyy!!!
Zstar - Not sure about what date you should take, but so glad you got to see your bubby!
Sammy - try not to worry too much about your levels. I went to the doc every 3 days for 3 weeks until I had an ultasound at 7 weeks! I was just so anxious to see my levels rise and this was the only thing that helped keep me sane during those first few weeks.
Add a ticker, I'd love to see it! When you type a message in a forum that we shouldn't have it you just "untick" the box that is in the right hand corner under where you type. It says "show signature".

Babymiracles - great to hear from you, I can't believe your moving so clse to the birth! I hope you have enough energy. I just crash every day I get home from work!!!
