Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss May 2009

Rach - Massive :hug: to you for today hun, I'm sure Lilli is watching over you all and that butterfly is proof :) although having said that I'm sure you didn't need any proof. That is a lovely quote. Take care of yourself OK?

Sunny - Welcome and congrats on the BFP. You are totally normal to be feeling that way, I had about one day of feeling over the moon after my BFP and then the worry set in :rolleyes: I still worry even now I must admit if I haven't felt bub move for a while. GL for your GP appt.

erybery - GL for the ob appt tomorrow :)

Meredith - Don't feel guilty, just do it! Congrats on nearly reaching 28 weeks though - yippee! And how cute is DS, my DD has been asking the same for the last couple of months now too LOL She keeps asking "Is the baby sister going to come out soon?" Funny she doesn't ask it quite so much now its just about upon us!

Hi everyone else :D

AFM, not much happening today, still got a blocked nose and almost coughing up a lung :rolleyes: I had a visit with my ob's midwife today which went well though, heard the HB and fundus is measuring perfectly for dates. She thinks I might go into labour this week but I don't know, I'm not feeling it - I think its anyone's guess really. Watch this space ;)

Zstar - :welcome: and CONGRATULATIONS on your PG. Most of the ladies posting on this thread also spent time on the TTC thread. The TTC thread is an absolute god-send. It is my hope every one who posts there comes here in the very near future.

Karen van - glad the PG yoga is working for you. I used to really enjoy yoga (pre-DD). I always found it gave me extra energy. I have been too scared to do anything remotely active this PG, but have started doing some safe stretches to keep the sciatica at bay. Are you finding the yoga is helping with back and hip pain relief?

Greenslw - Hip hooray for no more spots and your growing girl :hooray:. Not sure what DD thought about the dentist and my bleeding gums. I think the hygenist did a good job of hiding it, as DD was pretty keen to go for a ride in the dentist's chair afterwards LOL.

Hannah - CONGRATULATIONS on your gorgeous growing girl, too!

Chappas - I am starting to look forward to buying some things for baby. I have made up quite a list - can't help myself ;) Just waiting for DD's furniture to arrive in the next week so I can set up her new room. Then I will start getting organised for bubs. Still have so many gorgeous things from when DD was a baby. If we have a boy he will look very pretty LOL.

Lauren - Congratulations to you too, on your PG. Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months

Megsmum - Ding Dong :D Just read you may go into labour this week - I know your Ob is excellent and would have only the best fill in for him. Here's a big :hug: for the week ahead, my friend

Theresa - :hello: and welcome back!

Sunny - hi there. I have definitely felt the same way after a BFP but hope to see you here for the next nine months. Good luck :goodluck:

Erybery - GL with seeing your Ob (and bub) tomorrow and those GTT results.

Meredith - Have not bought a single thing for bubs yet. Keep finding reasons not to. Basically I want to get DD's room organised first (unbeknowns to her she is moving to another room). I am going to make it an irressistable surprise so she has no reason to be jealous about the baby getting her old room (and bed, which will be converted back into a cot). Have been thinking about what to pack for me for the hospital, as I will be having a CS and will need some nice comfy stuff around the belly.

Rach - that quote was beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

AFM - GTT is ticked off. Will get the result at Ob on Friday. Finally succumbed to telling DD that the baby is growing in my tummy. Her reaction was gorgeous. She said, "we will have to be very gentle with your tummy". Then she proceeded to make further arrangements about where the baby would sleep (in her toy room, apparently).

hi everyone

thanks for all your congrats. i'm not doing well today. this site has been my life saver since i m/c. it has been my rock and the girls support has been everything to me. i have just been on the other thread ttc after m/c and a girl is back for her 2nd time. m/c at 6 wks. it has hit me hard. i really didn't know about all the m/c's and still births ect were sooo common until i joined bellybelly. today i feel that reading all the signatures and stories on here is making me worse and making me worry more. i have just called mum in tears and she said i may need to take break from the site until i am further along in my pg and feeling more at ease. i think she may be right. i can't stop crying. i feel weak for leaving everyone in the ttc thread. they have been there for me and i should be there for them.

has anyone else had these feeling about taking a break? i just think that when i get on i see all the m/c's ect and it makes me worry more. far out. i am so emotional. i have such a long way to go and i need to get a grip on things.

Zstar - I am sorry you are having such a bad day :hug:

Hun, you have youth on your side. Through the copious and obsessive amounts of reading, I have learned something like 1/4 PG do end in MC, often before 6 weeks or before the woman even knows she is PG. ONE loss is sadly, quite common. It is believed at least 50% of these losses are random and spontaneous chromosonal errors (more likely to happen with more mature eggs). Every day you move forward is GREAT. You are getting there! For recurrent MC (3 x) you are looking at a 1/100 chance of it happening to you - that is a 99% chance of that NOT happening. I have read over and over, that most women who suffer ONE MC go on to have a perfectly normal PG. It is completely understandable for you to be having these feelings after suffering the pain and anguish of a MC. I am not doubting your worry. Perhaps you could get your HCG levels checked (48 hours apart) to check the levels are generally doubling in that time?

Of course, if you need a break, then by all means take one. At the same time, we will be here for you if you feel comfortable to come back and post again here xx

Zstar i know how your feeling i couldnt believe this all happened i always thought people dtd got pregant and had perfect babies and was shcoked to find that wasnt the case. Its hard and when i lost my child i thought that i was doomed and still right now i fin d it hard and cant trust myself.
I really hope your ok and feel better soon.

zstar - I had the same feelings about taking a break after I got my BFP this pregnancy. I started off with a slow rising HCG during week 5 and then had some spotting during week 6, so I was pretty much a basket case for those couple of weeks and quite a few weeks after. It was only the support of my DH and a lovely lady here behind the scenes that got me through really - I was sure that things were over :( Anyway, I did take a break from posting over this time, for me it was the only way I could cope. You just need to do whatever you can to cope early on, if that is not posting or reading here so be it. BTW, I still don't read the stories of loss section of the boards here, I would dearly like to be able to provide support, but I just can't cope with the stories and the possibility it might happen to me again.

I totally agree with WTH, you do have youth on your side. I was your age when I conceived and carried DD with absolutely no problems, all of my subseqent problems falling pg and staying pg have been due to my age. After my last m/c my ob told me that even at my age (38 back then), the chances of the next pregnancy being successful are 80%, so you have an excellent chance that this pg will be a sticky one. Keep telling yourself that this will work out and talk to your bub because the reality is that it will more than likely!

I HTH and hope to see you around if you can manage :) Take care and remember one day at a time.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to pipe up and let you all know I'm here - I generally don't have alot to say but I'm here reading and feeling encouraged by everyone's successes.

It's been about a week and half since we found out I am pregnant, and I really do feel like we're just plodding along. My first real excitement was getting my BT results this morning and seeing the hcg figures have increased as they should in the past week. Now I'm back to 'well we'll just see how we go'.

It's crazy, it's not that I'm not happy I'm pregnant, I guess I'm looking at in stages of just getting through another week with a growing, living baby inside me. I said to DH the other day that we'll get the shock of our lives when we're at full term and realise we really are having a baby this time lol

Hope you are all well and happy and healthy :)

Cheers,
HB

Sunny :leap: are you in here? congratulations, goodluck Thursday. Good to see you again.

Meredith glad you're almost in the safe zone, I'm sure it will be a big load off. I think if a wig will make you feel better it's a good investment in you and therefore your baby. Happy mum afterall is very important. (I'm a shop a holic) but still think it's important to look after you.

Rach it does fly. can I ask what the meaning of the name is. Sounds really nice. Love your saying

erybery: goodluck for tomorrow thanks for the belly rub, one back at ya.

Oh wow megsmum the count down is really really on. bet you're excited to see little one.

WTH dentists are so much better with kids now. :D DD sounds so cute.

zstar I think I had my days. Sometimes the stories are a comfort sometimes I'm crying, but I think the tears are part of my healing. If you need a break take one we'll be here when you get back :hug:

Welcome human bean congratulations

ATM wiped out, long long long meeting with VIP's for my service. I'm spent, need a good hot meal (on the way) and a big long sleep. PG going well still haven't told anyone at work cos my boss is very emotional atm from her return and I think I'll go with the exec manager I like first then hide behind her when I tell my manager. I'm too sooky for confrontation right now. esp when we're a pregnancy and mother service.

well, what a difference a few hours makes and the continued support from here....

wth - thank you thank you. i now have the mantra of 'one day at a time' in my head. it has calmed me greatly. thanks for all the stats too. it really has helped. i feel like a different person and only 3.5hrs has pasted! unbelievable.

greenslw - thanks. from reading your words i have realised my tears today were healing tears. i only cried once over my m/c and i needed that today and i'm glad it happened.

hb - congrats on being back. i wish you a h & h pregnancy.

megsmum - thanks for your words. i really appreciate it and god knows i needed them! i will continue to talk to my bubba. i keep telling it to make sure its found a good place to stick and to burrow right in there!

lauren22 - it is a head battle. we need to keep thinking positive things. i really don't want to wish my pregnancy away. i want to enjoy the journey. we can enjoy the road together!

i can't thank you all enough. it is obvious to me now that i needed that breakdown. i could feel it brewing and i am much better for it. your words are priceless. they mean so much. i look forward to sharing this wonderful journey and getting to the end.

dh and i have just had a beautiful dinner of steamed atlantic salmon and veges. now i'm off to read a pg book.

one day at a time......:D

Zstar - have just popped online this morning to check on you sweetings and am so pleased that we were able to help you! Keep up your mantra :D

Human bean- great to see another new face here. Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

Greenslw - good luck breaking the news at work. I was really putting off telling people (mostly due to superstition and denial), but ended up feeling relieved to have it out in the open.

Lauren - have you booked a dating scan for around 7 weeks? Seeing the HB may help to put your mind at ease a little. Just an idea... ;)

Megsmum - sending you a triple-dose of anti-twinge vibes to get you through until your Ob returns on Monday!

Wheres the hope- i had one on monday just to check everything was good
heart rate- 130bpm
hcg- 2000
so everything is looking good
having next scan at 8 weeks then 12 weeks

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 - :welcome: 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! :dance:

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!

Hi ladies,

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.

Tamara

Congratulations Tam on the arrival of Maison :hooray: Well done hun and enjoy your baby snuggles! You did it ;)

Sorry for no more persies, feeling pretty RS again today :( but hope everyone else is well.

Hi All,

Just wanted to pop in and say hi !!

Have read through your posts but have no time to respond as I am packing frantically. Am soooooooooooooooo over it:wall::wall::wall: The big move is Saturday

Feel like a huge whale and am starting to get the penguin waddle. Good thing I can't lift anything - I will just be ordering everyone else around ;);)

Will be off line for a week - can you believe it takes a week for an internet connection to be reestablished

Anyway have a great week and I'll log on as soon as I can !!

Tam - CONGRATULATIONS!!! on the birth of little Maison, well done :dance::dance::dance:

Tam - just wanted to pop in and say CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of Maison. Enjoy. :confetti::itsaboy:

Tam - Congratulations on the arrival of Maison. :dance::leap::bluecheer:

:leap:WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :leap:
Congratulations TAM on your perfectly gorgeous bundle of boy joy!
:happyforyou:

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.

Hope everyone has a great weekend :D

Congratulations on the birth of your son Tam!!!!!

Congrats! That is fantastic news!

Hi Everyone

I have been reading some of the posts over the last few days and this seems like the perfect forum for me to participate in.

My name is Rachel and my DH is Luca. We have been trying to conceive for the last 3 years with all our past pregnancies ending in M/C. So great to find a forum that I can share my journey with and people that understand what its like to go through such heartache and pain.
We are almost 9 weeks now and my obstetrician has now given us a 95% chance of this little bean going all the way.:p
This pregnancy I have not entertained the thought of another loss and really feel this is the one! You all sound amazing and am really looking forward to sharing our journey's together.
Tam - I don't know you but congratulations on the birth of your son!
Have a great weekend ladies!
Rachel

Tam - congratulations... how wonderful!

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!

:hello: 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!

Megsmum - "Ding Dong" right back at ya ;) Hope the Durotoss is doing the trick and you are getting some sleep!

Can'twaittobeamum - CONGRATULATIONS on your PG and :welcome:. It is so exciting to have so many new faces in the last week or two. Great for this thread to be on a roll!

Humanbean & Zstar - it is great to read your one day-at-a-time approach is working and that you are both so optimistic :D

Easha - hope your move went smoothly. The hard part is over. Well done!!

Erybery - I am with you on the "loooooooooooooong pregnancy". We did IVF, so have been tracking this bubba since Day 1. Glad you have another lovely pic to pop on the fridge door.

Mollycat - very exciting to have you pop in and to see your nicely progressing ticker xx

Hannah - glad you hit it off so well with your midwife and that you are in good hands.

Lauren - hope everything is continuing to go well for you. GL with the scan :goodluck:

:hello: to everyone else.

AFM - looks like DD is coming down with a shocking cold. We were having such a good run, too! Meanwhile my Ob appointment went OK on Friday. Full blood count, antibodies and GTT all came back fine. The latter is a bonus as I have become addicted to children's milky white chocolates (so good to have something so naughty and guilt-free). I did not manage to put on any weight in the past fortnight, but my Ob is not worried as it has been pretty decent until now. But, I have been told to eat more...

Congratulations Tam. Well done :dance:

zstar that sounds like my ms. Nothing too full on but just annoying.

human bean one day at a time sounds great.

cantwait welcome, this is a great place to share, congrats on 9 weeks. :D

megsmum :hug: sorry you're still sick. Wishing you all the best for the week. Not long :D

WTH eat more! what a cool thing to be told. enjoy the chocolate.

It feels like ages since I've posted here.
Well I told my boos today. She was pretty excited for me. Gave me a hug and said a few reasuring things. I said I only want 10 weeks off and she said 'take as long as you need' we spoke about finances and she shared some of her personal history. She went back after 4 weeks. OMG that's soon. I said I loved my job and don't want to loose it and she said that 'they love me and my job is safe' I almost cried. She then went on to do the boss thing of strategiesing how when etc etc. which is fine, I hope I get to be a part of that chat. I'm telling my exec manager Thursday even though my boss wanted to she said she'd let me. NICE.

One thing she did say that got me thinking (why I'm up now) is that cos I've only been at work for 4 months that some of the staff may not take the news well and could be undermining and sabotage my role as manager. oh boy it never entered my head until today. I hope not but I guess you never know.

Huge relief to have spilled the beans only Step Daughter and my Dad left on the VIP list then it's out out out :leap:

hi ladies

i have been coming in everyday and having a read.....good to see everyone is doing well...

greenslw - glad you have told your boss and that went well. must be a relief. it stressing me out even trying to comprehend the whole work issue. trying to find the line between having time off and spending as much time as i can with the bubba-to-be (as much as we can afford) and also ensuring my position is not in jeopardy. anyway, i don't have to deal with that yet so i'll leave it alone for now!

wth - my god. that is a dream come true to be told to eat. very jealous. my ms is so bad that i have to eat every half hour or so so i am paranoid about getting massive!!

megsmum - how exciting! you are so close. i hope that cough has already gone! i have taken your advice and if i do get a break i am enjoying it! i was driving this morning and nearly had an accident because i realised i wasn't sick! hilarious.

cantwaittobeamum - :welcome:. great to see another new mum-to-be! i wish you a very healthy and happy pg! i look forward to sharing the long journey we have ahead of us.

erybery - this whole baby making process seems to take forever. i look forward to the day of sticking my pic on my fridge! glad to hear everything is going well!

sunny & humanbean - i hope you are both well and taking good care of yourself. i look forward to getting an update of where you are both at soon.

to everyone else - i hope you are healthy and happy!

afm - this ms has taken me by surprise and knocked the wind out of me. it is now pretty much 24/7. haven't vommitted so that is good. i had monday off work. i was so rotten. i am now learning how to manage and live with it. it certainly took the shine off being pg. yesterday and today i have had a couple of 'breaks' from it. went to the doc yesterday and she gave me maxalon to use in emergencies. was worried if i had to see clients face to face and being rotten. i haven't used any yet. am really trying not to. i so hope this passes soon! my boobs are so sore to. even if i brush by them. they hurt in the shower. don't get me wrong - i am soooo grateful to be pg. could not be happier. it all just takes a bit of adjusting! at least this time i fully feel pg! only 11 days till my scan! wahooo!!!!!

zstar, I agrea about leaving it alone, I didn't really pick it up again until I was 12 weeks. Then I started panicing because I had no plan and it needs to be done before 20 weeks, I know that's ages but I'm a worrier. At 5 weeks I just loved having a secret of my own. :D MS is awful but it is a good sign. Hope you find something to calm it for you, rice crackers were my saviour.

Hmm today I'm feel crapy myself, couldn't sleep due to sore tummy last night and have been up since 5am when i could have slept in till 9 :wall: the sore tummy thing is doing my head it, I don't want anything to touch it atm, but keeping clothes on for now. Feeling butterflies big time which isn't the sore but put it feels like an elbow adult poking around in my pelvice. Not cramps just uncomfortable. Any Ideas?

have a great weekend all.

I let down my guard and told everyone.
I feel so bad and it will be so hard to tell everyone if we loose it. Why did i do that :wall:
I got so excited and now i feel so bad. Grrrrrr I'm so upset about this and i dont know why its getting to me so badly.

cantwaittobeamum- welcome! hope you have the smoothest and happiest nine months :)
zstar- sorry to here about your ms hope your feeling better so soon
human bean- your so optimistic! im taking the same approach its probably the only thing keeping me sane :lol:
megsmum- hoping your nasty cold goes away real soon

laureen hmm it's hard to hold your toungue. I'm sure they were over the moon for you. It almost killed me waiting but I had my mum in my ear daily about 'wait until your safe' which probabbly maid me more parinod that helped. Last night a got a congrats out of the blue from a friend of a friend so once it's out it spreads like wildfire. nice to be congratulated though :D

ATM I can't sleep, why didn't I try and train myself out of tummy sleeping ages ago. Now with the up and down of the toilet call and not being able to sleep how I want I'm so tired. DP is not a good body pillow, he wriggles too much. I'll have to buy one I think. Funny how last week I was comfortable and now it feel just awful to sleep on my tummy.

Hi ladies,

Sorry for no persies, just wanted to let you know I am still here with bubby intact LOL I have just been feeling so unwell with this cough and I'm so tired as well I just don't have much energy to post. And have managed to pull 2 muscles in my back this week coughing, so to top it all of I am in agony as well especially when I cough which is very often!! :boohoo:

Anyway, I have an ob appt on Mon so should have the plan of attack then I think...still no signs of labour starting so I think I'll make it to Monday. But less than a week to go till I meet bub now - can't wait! I just wish she would hurry up and arrive!

Hope you are all well :grouphug:

Hi Ladies,

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.

Cheers

Joshsmum - Welcome to the thread, I was in the TTCML thread before and it also gave me lots of support. I still lurk in there daily checking on my Bellybuddies Coco and Cherished and hoping for BFP's from all of you so I know your journey! I'd like to wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy xox

megsmum; glad bubs is intact :D are you getting lots of back rubs for you rmuscles? I hope so. Goodluck Monday. :goodluck:

:hello: josh's mum and welcome.

:lol: glad I'm not the only lurker erybery. how's pg treating you lately?

ATM, being very mumsy, cooking dinner and desert! DP shaved his goatie and he's in big trouble tonight. He threatened to leave it till bubs was born, VERY happy it's gone :bd: :redface:

Greenslw - hehehe, lurking is ALOT easier than posting! very tired at the moment as getting up all through the night to go to the toilet as bubs keeps pushing on my bladder! Got my 30 week appoint with Ob on Wednesday so looking forward to that.

Are you feeling more settled now and enjoying nbeing pregnant? Its lovely to see your ticker moving along, I remember when you got you BFP!

Lauren22 - Yay for 7 weeks! Try eating donuts (hot, cinamon ones are the best) I found because they are heavy they went straight to my gut and never came up again, I did worry about doing this often but then thought, "hey its the only things that's staying down and its not forever!"
