Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss ~ January 2011

[possum magic]

Kitfaerie: Can't wait to hear about Tiger making an entrance. LOL about the 'body sharing thing' not working for you any more!
T-Hopes: Sorry, i missed your post cos it was about the same time as mine. Glad you got an answer about what was causing the pain but very annoying that your GP couldn't explain what the answer really meant! Can they give you medication or do you just have to wait for it to settle down?
Damprye: IKWYM about liking privacy when you puke. I never thought I could do it in front of someone else but when i've been sick since married to DH he's been awesome. Very supportive and made me feel ok about it. It's the (less sexy) flipside of intimacy i guess! Will you see the doc about your symptoms? Yikes on the vomiting blood thing. Dunno what that's about. As for work: hope that gets sorted. They can't fire you for being pg.
Stoked: I know how you feel with that fear about things going wrong. I hope it is just that you are hitting that stage when symptoms start to die down. If it makes you feel better: with my first pg (with DD) i felt sick only quite briefly- like about a month- and it was over well before i hit 12wks. The wait for the next scan is hard but often you'll start to feel movement well before then, especially with it being your third baby, and that's reassuring. I felt DD move about 16wks.
Sunshine: sending you virtual rays of sunshine!
Alish: awesome news!
Ferrals: thanks for update on Murray cod. I have wondered a number of times how she is doing.
Hi everyone else i've done persie for already.

AFM: I feel like i have a little pot belly already and i'm only 8wks. Well, TBH i've had a little pot since i've been pg twice in 12mths before this one and well, i've had one baby before that. I think i'm starting to assume my mother's shape (extra weight goes to the tummy mainly)! I've always been skinny (and am still quite skinny elsewhere) so it's noticable. I've had two people ask me already whether i'm pg. (In fact two people asked me after i had my 2nd m/c when i wasn't actually pg!) I really want to hide it because i don't feel like talking about this baby until i know all is ok (12wk scan). In particular i don't want work to know yet in case it doesn't work out. I just don't have the right wardrobe for hiding a baby bump. Have other people had this issue by 8wks??? Maybe i should hire a tent to wear!!!
