    welcome to the newcomers

    sorry to hear about the bleed possum. I am so hoping that this one hangs in there for you.

    Forshelby, start downing that fibre lol

    My memory is shocking atm and I can only use my phone to post atm so only going via memory so sorryeveryone else.

    AFM. Havn't been posting the last few days because I don't know if this one really will stick. I have been spotting on and off but only when I wipe, but it is also red so a lil iffy as to what is going on. Sorry for the TMI. Other than that, my BBs are killing me! Not much to report on the ms, just feel naseated most of the time but that is all. Has anyone else had like super dooper sensitive bbs so early? It was my first symptom almost right after conception lol

    Forshelby - hahah about your sexy leg wear.... after a caesar you have to wear them to prevent clotting - I like you looked a treat walking around in public with them on with my shorts. It's just like the european tourist look... just put your sandals on and you'll look super. Glad you news is good. GL for your next test. The 2 hour one they usually don't let you leave the rooms, so take water to drink and stuff to do and wear your sexy socks, get them all talking. Sorry about your anaemia - I've had that and the level of exhaustion is incomprehensible..hopefully the iron kicks in and helps you feel more energised soon. I used metamuesil, and it helps. Oh, the iron will also make the end result a lot darker...... :P Congrats on 30 weeks too! Yay.

    Dampyre - keep strong ... sensitive bb's from conception or shortly after has been a symptom in all of my pregs and low grade m/s.. sending you sticky sticky vibes. And lots of love.

    Ferals - join the leg wear revolution.

    Alish - congratulations on your bfp - 5 weeks along.... yay. Hoping you have a happy and healthy preg - the women in this thread are amazing... so much so I am struggling to leave. I am sorry for your ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. My heart stopped for just an instant when I saw the date 23 Feb.. it's a special day for me too. Look forward to getting to know you and your passenger.

    Audax - were you in here? Hope you are enjoying your new born cuddles......

    Tegam - sending you and Molly and your fam lots of love Miss you but understand you are doing something really important right now and don't have a lot of time for BB.

    Who is due next?

    thanks dory.. yes it was a terrible time, after trying for a year and have that happen, i was very very sick. luckily i didnt lose a tube. that one happend a week before our wedding anniversary and the second one was my husbands birthday.. what are the odds.
    i feel very lucky to be accepted in bellybelly, i dont have people i can talk to about this so its made things easier.
    im very anxious this pregnancy.. i dont know how my mental state will be if something bad happens but im trying to be positive but its always in the back of my mind

    Thanks everyone! I'm really hopeful that this one will stick. That said, I am hanging out to get past Feb 25th, when I enter the 2nd trimester; Baby Elvis was a missed miscarriage and the first we knew of anything wrong was the 12 week scan, where he had no heartbeat. If I can get a clear 12 week scan, I think I'll be able to relax.

    Possum Magic- sending and many many to you. I know how awful it feels when you wipe and see blood. More .

    Hi my long lost friends!!!
    Do u all even remember me??! Gosh i have been so super slack posting its not even funny.. i dont even have any good excuse why i havent been!

    Welcome to the newbies... Woohoo this year is pumping with bfps!!! So exciting!!

    Im going to be super slack and not even try and do persies.. i dont think i wld know where to start, once i get back into the groove of this thread i promise i will be more of a loyal poster!

    Ive been alright, just plodding along, we bought a new little puppy last weekend so hes been keeping us very busy.. i forgot how hard toilet training was!! Our little nala girl was around 9-10 weeks old when we got her and we didnt even have to train her but this little one was only 7 weeks, its such a constant thing taking him out onto the grass. He is very beautiful tho and has definitely helped to bring the smile back onto our faces after losing our girl. Still miss her so much but hey i think we always will.

    Pregnancy wise i am doing great! Still getting bh's all the time but i just know that its a sign that ive gotta lay down and relax!
    Ive started getting a bit paranoid that im going to go into labour early and ive set myself a kinda goal.. ive just gotta get thru the next 6 weeks and it wont be so bad if i do. Im so silly i know.. theres been no reason to think ill go early but i guess its just one of those little fears that pops up!

    In the last 2 weeks my tummy has really popped! Finally i cant suck it in at all, and i look pregnant in all my clothes.. yay! It bloody took long enough! Im loving my tummy! Annoying thing is we did some gardening today and i thought oh great time to get some sun on my tum! Well i just noticed tonight that my tummy is red but only the top half above my belly button and then all the area under is white because the sun obviously cldnt get under the bump.. bugger! It looks a bit funny..

    Oh i have one little problem.. i cant stop weeing!! I constantly feel like i need to go but then its just a little trickle. I know it sounds like the start of a urinary tract infection except ive been like this for about a week now with no other symptoms.. could it just be that baby is getting bigger and pushing on my bladder???
    Its driving me insane! Has anyone else noticed this around the 6 month mark?? Maybe ive gotta start on some pelvic floor exercises! Altho i can hold in the wee its just so uncomfortable especially when sleeping!

    Anyway i better jump off, will be back in the next couple days to do some persies! Sorry again for being so slack.

    Kirsten - I had the sme thing happen to me with a missed m/c! We thought everything was fine and it was such an horrific shock at our 12wk scan to see a tiny bub with no heartbeart... still breaks me thinking about how i felt at that moment... it was awful and im so sorry to hear you went thru it too! I had the same fear that it would happen to this bub too and was petrified at every scan we had! We had them regularly with this pregnancy thank god - i would have gone insane without them! We also hired a doppler this time and we starting hearing the h/b at 10wks - so great, everytime i have an anxious moment i use it and feel so good after!!!

    Reet - So happy to hear you got a new pup! I was gunna suggest that to you! Will never replace your Nala but certainly eases the pain! Enjoy the puppyness!! I just love that puppy breath!!! Too cute! What breed is he?

    You ladies are the best. Thanks so much for all your kind words as well as your stories about your own experiences of cramping and bleeding. It really helped me to hear some good news experiences. It helps me to feel hopeful that something good could still happen.

    Dory: i didn't realise you'd had such bad bleeds with Hannah's pg. (I think i joined BB when you were about 7wks pg with her). It is always inspiring to know that not all scares (even bad ones) end in disaster.
    T-hopes: It really helps to hear that you had a lot of AF type cramping first trimester. I know you said this at the time but it helps to be reminded. Thanks so much for all your support. I hope everything goes wonderfully at your scan tomorrow.
    Mildez: thank you for your kind words.
    Ferrals: Thanks hun. You gave me a good laugh with the advice you gave Forshelby on how not to 'rip your bum in half'!!!
    Damprye: thank you. HOpe your spotting is also nothing to worry about.
    Kirstenfleur: I'm with you! Can't wait to get past that 1st trimester scan. Mine is booked for the 16th Feb. (But first i need to get through my scan on Wednesday...)
    Alish: Welcome to the thread. So hoping this is a good sticky bub for you this time.
    Forshelby: Hope the iron helps (and the sultana bran!)

    AFM: No more red blood since yesterday arvo and barely any blood at all today- tiny bit of brown staining when i wipe. Praying ferrals is right and it's somehow just bubs snuggling in. I had a small bleed (similar) with DD about 5.5 wks and all turned out ok. I was trying to picture myself and DH holding this baby in our arms and saying to one another: "Hey remember when we had that bleed at about 6wks and we thought it was all over? And look at us now." Wouldn't that be great?
