    Milly I think I checked my paper in the loo till I was 24 weeks. I know that doesn't help but at least you're not alone.

    Tanya keeping food down is a good thing.

    Smallfry I agrea with you totally I think a mc makes up fearful and careful but also so apreciative of what we have.

    ATM Just waiting ladies, Nothing I can control, just have to wait.
    Although thank goodness for cool change! I almost melted last night.
    Loads of belly pain but no signs of labor yet. Common bubba it's time.........

    Hello ladies, im so glad ive just found this thread and think its about time i posted.
    Firstly its SO good to see so many familiar face in here and also a HUGE congratulations to zstar on the arrival of little Billy.
    I think i really need to post in here because to be honest im freaking out at the moment and there are still just so many m/c happening around me and i think that too is stressing me out a little.
    Im 7w5d today so its further than what i was last time, ive had no bleeding at all and have had terrible ms and the sorest bb's ever (all sounds good i know but just cant help but worry) Ive had some sharp pains in my lower abdomin over the past few days and i think thats whats concerning me the most. I dont go for my first scan until the 27th Jan and have tried to get in earlier but cant anywhere.
    Sorry for the rant girls but as you all must know its always in the back of your mind after suffering a loss.
    I just cant wait for this 1st trimester to be over and to start enjoying this pregnancy

    eliselouise! If i'd realised you didn't know where this thread was I'd have invited you when I saw your bfp! Congrats again and again and again! Great to see you in here at last! Cramps are pretty normal for where you're at - everything starts to stretch and swell and that makes things crampy. Doesn't mean you don't stress but it helps to know it's normal!

    greenslw - you're itching to get that baby out aren't you?! lol Wasn't long ago you were worried it would all happen early.

    eliselouise Welcome (hugs), don't worry you are not the only one freaking out! The 1st trimester sucks!

    Greens, wow you are close! Could be a couple of weeks yet, tho I hope not.

    Feeling pretty ill here today, which is good.... Slept a little better last night, I think I am feeling a little better about the pregnancy, just don't want to get too comfy, yk?

    Morning greenslw it would be worth a try, see an chinese herbal medicine person who also does acupuncture to compliment the herbs rather than just an acupuncturist... That is if it wont be too much running around to see someone.... Although you haven't had much relief resting I'm sure your dr's orders are for the best and you should stay at home and put your feet up try not to stress yourself out, your buba will be here soon

    Cherished - I had my 1st scan at 6w6d and no you can't hear the hb. But generally you can see it on u/s at around that time. Usually it can be seen externally (E's was) but you may sometimes have to have an internal scan to see it. You will only see a little bean, but the hb is quite clear. HTH and good luck!

    Greenslw - Wow you are so close now! I know how you feel about those last weeks too, I could hardly drag my sorry butt up off the lounge LOL But all the very best to you hun, hope all goes well and things start to happen soon

    to all the ladies in the 1st tri - hang in there! And welcome to all the new ladies. I know I should leave here LOL but I can't resist poking my head in from time to time

    Thanks for the pep talk cherrised I need it.

    Well I did some visualisation last night. I also stayed up till 4.30 so I was so exhausted when I fell into bed I must have relaxed. My belly is about 1/2 as saw today as yesterday! so either the relaxing or the visualisation really really helped. I'm still going to talk to the ob about my fear but if it's 1/2 bad I can put up with it.

    Hay megs mum can't beleve your bubba is 5 months already. Time flies really fast.

    Hey Gals, thought I would crash this thread and say Hi! So good to see all you girls UTD and moving along nicely. Ct wait to see more birth Announcements soon.
    Z-star congrats hun!

    Cherished - I had my first scan at 6w6d and I SAW and HEARD the heartbeat and Ella was 1.4cm that day. I think it depends on the machine. My obstetrician had a pretty good ultrasound machine but some are not that great.

    AFM - Still hasn't sunk in fully that I'm a mummy and Ella is almst 4 months old. I am absolutely loving it, even though shes not the easiest baby as had very bad reflux and is in a lot of pain from that alot of the time. When you girls finally hold your precious bundles you willknow that the pain and heartache we have all gone through to get to that point is all worth it 1000 times over!

    Belly hugs and Rubs to all xox

    Hi eliselouise so great to see you and I too didn't realise that you didn't know where this thread was when I suggested you post in here I am sorry to hear that you are also worrying and I hope the 2nd tri would hurry up for us all so we can relax a little!

    I have a question about a doppler, my 1st scan is next Wed but I will only be 6 weeks 6 days, can a heartbeat be heard that early with a doppler? I don't expect him to see much if he does a scan because it's at the OB's office not with a sonographer. The OB had originally said to come in at 8 weeks but he will be away so it was either a week earlier or a week later so I thought the sooner the better and I will than get another scan at 9 weeks with a sonographer... But will it jut be a waste of time going that early?

    AFM I think those little acupuncture needles in my ear are really working! Whenever I am feeling sick I rub them and it goes away! amazing... Now I just hope they can stop me from vomiting cause I know it's still early days. I'm also excited that I've booked into do pilates at a physios office 2 x a week, they have small classes of 3 and I've asked to be in a class with other woman who are pregnant
