    Sunbeam - that's awesome news about your HCG.. hope you get to stay with us for another 30 more weeks
    cherished1 : Good Luck with your scan hope it goes well

    Hello to everyone else.. Sorry if I've missed ppl

    Waiting for our first scan still, I can't get in to see anyone for another 2 weeks, it's so hard with my job and my DP late hours, I want him to be there with me....

    Have to ask a question ladies, I keep getting really dull aches in my lower left side, my DP keeps saying it's the baby growing don't worry, but I'm me, and I can't help but over think things sometimes.. Have any of you experienced this? It feels like period pains but not as bad, nothing to make me worry normally expect for the fact that I'm pg...

    Sunbeam - glad to see you posting in here again so soon! It's such an encouraging result. sticky vibes being sent by the truck load for you.

    HPL -- lots of aches and pains associated with early preg in particular with your uterus settling in and starting to stretch. I had aches in a very specific spot on one side for weeks early on and was worried it might be something I didn't want it to be. In the end I concluded that it must be the site of implantation but I have no idea if that was correct or not! Count down to your scan! How exciting!! Shame you can't get it done sooner but I'm quite sure that the wait will be worth it!

    Cherished - good luck with your scan tomorrow! Hehehe I just noticed your due date! I love it! 8 9 10 Not sure what I can say about getting a doppler. I've known a number of people who have gotten them, some it helped, some it didn't. Sometimes you can't find the heartbeat because of where the baby is lying, those were the times it seems to have been the most stressful.

    sunny - hey I think you're next after me to drop your bundle! It seems weird to be waiting on my own birth now! Surely I'm not really next????!!

    AFM today I made a last minute decision and side tracked myself in a chinese massage place. One reflexology massage and a million braxton hicks later, my feet feel so beautiful and I am a lot more relaxed. I saw posted somewhere that a reflexology massage set off BH in someone somewhere... I can vouch for that! I find myself wondering if there's a specific spot and if that spot would prompt labour... I feel a research project coming on for the evening.
    My beautiful DD1&2 are both at a new school this week. DD2 just starting prep so two big girls at school now. It seems only yesterday that they were pushed out. DD1 worries that when I have this one I will get to see her less (I share custody). I had to reassure her that will absolutely not be the case but it did hurt that she's been given that idea somehow.
    I stuffed myself senseless on baked potato this evening. Somehow it didn't happen last night and I ended up with crackers and cheese and a shocking case of indigestion. Tonight it absolutely had to happen and man, was so good I couldn't stop myself and now I'm so full I feel like I'm bursting!

    hi to everyone else, and thanks for the congrats on the scan


    AFM - Just something I thought I would share ...

    yesterday was milestone number 1 (ie point of Angel #2)
    I celebrated by spending half the day with my head in the toilet!

    tomorrow is milestone number 2 (ie point of Angel #1), which I think will call for a similar celebration!

    Thanks for the lovely welcome ladies.

    My scan is tomorrow @2pm, i'm trying to think positive. My angel passed around 8weeks so between now and my 12week scan will be the hardest time for me.

    all around and lots of 's too

    Bonham is your scan with your OB or at an x-ray place with a sonographer? My 7 week scan was with the OB and then I went to the GP and asked for a referral to have a scan so I get to have one tomorrow aswell. My 1st mc the bub stopped growing at 8 weeks 3 days so I knew I would not be able to relax and just have a 12 week scan after the 7 week one. Maybe you could do the same? Goodluck tomorrow, can't wait to see good news in your post!


    HPL I have only just started to feel sensations down in the uterus area etc, really only over the last 4 days I think. It's pretty normal from what I hear

    Smallfry I know how cool is my due date!

    milly love you celebration style hon

    cherished: my scan is at the local ultrasound place, my dr is my OB but doesnt have a ultrasound machine in his office as he works at the local medical centre. Got to love small towns. I cant remember if my dr wanted to see me after my scan or not d'oh, maybe i'll ring the receptionist once i've been to my scan, i guess it wouldnt hurt to ask for another scan around 10weeks just to put my mind at ease. Goodluck to you too what does HPL mean? i've never seen that before.
