    Tashybabe, congratulations!!! That's great news! how far along are you? Must only be a few weeks yet. Your little one is due very close to two of my special people's birthdays - my gorgeous step mum and one of my nephew's. I pray that all goes well for you this time around and I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. It's never easy.

    And thank you for the comforting news about breech. I'm quite sure she'll spin around but I guess that it's just one of those things where you feel everything has been going so well that you sort of believe that something has to go wrong. An incredibly foolish attitude.

    All the best with your pregnancy and I hope you start to get some strong symptoms very soon!

    twinsis - good luck with the morning sickness. I feel for you and hope that you're able to find something that helps with the yucky stuff. On the up side, it makes things feel so much more definite doesn't it?!! take care xox

    smallfry - I'm still only 3wk6d, so still really early. So far my symptoms include heartburn and fatigue. It's different to last time, which hopefully is a good thing

    Crazy lady!

    Hi, can I join in. I had a blighted ovum which passed in October. I'm now 5.5wks pregnant again. I have a scan booked for the 29th which will hopefully put my mind at ease. I am so pretrofied that I am going to have another BO. I just hope I see a a little Jellybean with a beating heart.I found out at 4 weeks so I have been stressing since then. My hcg levels very early on in the piece were 7 and then 33 just 3 days later. My Doctor said this was normal. I've never monitored Hcg but that sounded low to me and freaked me out. I have spoken to other ladies and they say its fine to have those levels. I have a referral sitting there for another BT if I like, but I'm scared that if I do have it done and my levels are low I will just break down. Some days I have been distracted and seem to GWTF but others like today I become obsessed and google everything I possibly can to try and make myself feel better....I think I have realised it does not work!In some cases it makes me feel worse when I read some peoples stories. I don't know how I am going to last until the 29th- I feel like throwing up when I think about it because it will be D day. Sorry for having such a massive rant. I will read up on your current posts and hopefully get to know some of you

    Indi - sorry for you previous loss. I can understand you stressing. Re: hcg levels, it's the doubling time that counts. Go to betabase.info and enter that data there. Your doubling time is about 32 hours, which is very good for early on.

    Thanks Tash, I have already stalked the Betabase. I guess I will just have to wait until the 29th. I do feel much better after writting down all my worries!

    Welcome Indi1, I reckon go get the BT done for the interrim between now and the U/S. Will help to put your mind at rest and give you a more enjoyable time over Christmas! As Tash said, your levels were rising well early on, I have no idea what mine have been cos docs have never done them, they always told me it wasn't necessary :P go figure!

    Wow Tash that's really early! Are you peeing heaps? That's something I had for most of the first trimester, it drove me incredibly insane as I didn't remember that happening with the other two. Died down after around 10 weeks or so but has started up again of course!

    Take care all, I'm heading off on holidays tomorrow so will be away til Christmas! Stay safe and happy and keep all those beautiful babies growing!

    Smallfryplus it's a surprise, but when I look at my baby pic I think it looks like a girl but others thing boy so who knows, only a few weeks till I do... Well done on the low weight gain, I haven't weighed but I don't think I've put on much either. Sorry to hear your buba is not were she should be but 6 weeks is a long time to change Turn bubba turn.

    Tanya I hope you enjoyed the concert

    Twinsister enjoy your time away and relax

    Welcome tashybabe,

    Welcome Indi1

    Nice to see some happy vibes before Christmas.

    Well my scan was great! plecenta has moved and is now on the back wall well away from the exit! bubs is the right weight size and there is plenty of fluid. Wonderful. I've done so well my OB said I can now go a week over if bubs needs it not exit on EDD. so very very happy that we've exceded all expectations. As if there was any doubt!

    4 weeks of work to go but only (durm roll) 12 days. I feel the need to stop but I need to clean my office and do a propper handover. Then I need to let it go. This is the hard bit, It will be fine but being the control freek I am I worry, but at the end of the day it's not up to me all the time is it......

    Have a great weekend all
