Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss ~ July 2010

[Tegam]

kellbell - welcome honey! I stuck it out til past 7 weeks for my scan too, saw this little prawny thing and its little heartbeat and had a cry, but to be honest, it didn't really do that much to reassure me. It wasn't til I got to the 12 week scan that I started to believe it, and I didn't really get excited until the 20 week scan.

Could not have said that any better!

99days WOOHOO thats not long!

[MsKara]

Just a quick one from me as I'm about to start puking again if I don't go to bed

Dory hope all is well!

Kellbell So good to see you in here!!! I knew it was your turn as well! Can't wait till all the others join us over here Personally, I would wait till 7+ weeks. The stress of seeing no HB again on my first U/S left me in tears and wasn't worth it for me. Then again, the elation of seeing that HB at 7.5 weeks after convincing myself there wouldn't be one was so amazing I couldn't stop crying lol

tegam Yay!! I'm so glad your u/s went well!

Audax I'm jealous of your shorts and singlets lol. You will definitely need more than that down here. Today I had a shirt, jumper and a woollen coat and I was still cold with that icy wind blowing

hmm... I have more but the nausea is coming back strong so I'm off. I'm sooooo over this. I know it's a good sign but I just feel like

Ms kara - I am hoping it will pass for you in about 4 weeks or so this m/s thing.... fingers crossed..... but it was good to hear from you.

Hi everyone,

just popping in, have my 19 week scan this afternoon so spending the day watching movies with DH (he's not feeling well and it was good timing to take a day off) in order to not stress. Arrghh, when will scans get fun?

oh yay kit - 19 weeks wow where has that time gone, can't wait to hear about your scan!!

[Tegam]

Kit! The scan will be lovely! Cant wait to hear all about it!

Audax - welcome to Melbourne and this beautiful chilly wind. How much exercise to do manage to do? 98 days to go, but not counting. thanks for sharing your tiredness symptoms. I'm guessing now that I'd need extra rest during that time, I so overestimated my energy level for the 1st trimester.

Kellbell - Congrats congrats. You definitely not crashing, chat when you feel comfy. Cute little preg. ticker. I know I'd wait for little heart beat if you can wait that long, that was so reassuring to me. The technical side of our 6 week 5 day scan ended up being pretty hopeless, the doc. was running out of gel and didn't get a clear pic and couldn't even measure the crown rump length, the pic was so blurry. I didn't care about all that, we had a tickity boo heart beat, 124b/min.

Coddy - yeah for the dentist.

Dory - to me your our leader, 35 weeks and 4 days!! Wow, that sounds so far away. A bit more baking to go, but like Tegam's little one, sounds like you are in good territory.

MsKara - sometimes we can't win. Tears which ever way we go. Sooo crazy. HOpe you not feeling so puky today.

Kit - movies sound like a great idea. Might head up to VideoEzy myself. any recommendations. I like vampire movies. GL with your scan today.

AFM- I'm really proud of myself. Chatted with the bosses yesterday. I'm going to work 2 days per week until maternity leave kicks in as one day's work and it knocks me around so much. Nausea goes up, can't slepp as well and generally increase in exhaustion from being on my feet for 8 hours. And I found out 18weeks parental leave (from the government) occurs on top of my 10 weeks leave from my employer. Yeeaah 2.30pm scan today, sssooooooo curious. Defnitely got DH with me. Hanging out for a connection, just really haven't done the bonding thing yet. Totally not looking forward to the full bladder, reaaaally do they have to make you do that? They need some new technology, I'm just thinking that's going to be uncomfortable. I'm sure I only pee about 100mls each time I go at the moment, I've been told I have to have 3-4 cups..... come on.
