Dory - Yah 6 weeks!!! I know it is hard to focus on the positives when you have been disappointed before but worrying is not doing you or the bean any good (if only I could listen to my own advice!) I don't know much about eptopic pregnancies but surely they are not that common - hopefully you will see a heartbeat at the scan and you can start to get a little more excited!
Greenslw - any news - I think we are all dying to know! Thanks heaps for your comments re dreams and processing I think they really helped as I had not thought of it that way.
Cherished1 - 8 weeks is a great milestone to reach - everyday is one day closer to the magic 12week mark - I can't wait to hear about your 9 week scan.
HPL - welcome! It must be great to have a positive partner, my DH is ALWAYS very cautious with his optimisim and this time around I don't think he will believe it until he sees the kid!
Milly - I read some stats on the Miscarriage Assoc site and it said - If the scan picks up a heartbeat and the baby appears to be the right size according to your dates, this can be very reassuring. Research has shown that if you see a heartbeat at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the chances of the pregnancy continuing are 78%. A heartbeat at 8 weeks increases the chance of a continuing pregnancy to 98% and at 10 weeks to 99.4%. So things could still go wrong, but as long as there is a heartbeat, the risk of miscarriage decreases as the weeks go by. I know this may be cold comfort after what has happend to you but I am liking those odds!!!
I had my first craving on Aust Day - I woke up and had brekky at about 7am and by 9am I HAD to have a meat pie which I inhaled (I am usually a slow eater) I then went back to bed at about 10am and slept for a couple of hours! I am taking this as a good sign as I have never had a craving before (hopefully it means I have a sticky bean!)
Thank god the m/c dreams are slowing up. Also I am sure my belly has already popped out - I know it is crazy early but I can't help but think it could be connected with such a recent pregnancy (maybe my uterus hadn't quite stretched back yet???)
