Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 2011

[damprye]

Cheshire- Yeah, I used to, used to be in my sig. Will totally be doing quick updates via my phone lol. Think I'll start a thread when I go into full blown labour so I can constantly update in the one place between contractions lol. Will also help me write my birth story at a later date

Clairesmummy- FX that it is just all normal

AFM- Thanks to everyone for you well wishes A lot more relaxed now. If things hadn't have gone well, bub would have either been coming today or next week but thankfully I get to do more cooking At 3kgs (6lb6oz) there is definitely no growth problem as they thought. Fluids are still low but will be having weekly scans to keep an eye on it and bub,s kidneys are all fixed Can't believe that bub is already bigger than what some of my friends have had at full term lol. Got told I'll be giving my friend's 9lb8oz bub a run for it's money if I get to term lol. If fluids get too low, they will induce me, as well as if bub gets too big, although, I have to agree to being induced and unless bub hits an estimated 10pounds, I'm happy to keep going

Damp at 35wks they said K was 6lbs & would be huge but she was only 8lb.
Not Skinny but not huge either
I'm totally expecting a 9lb-10lber this time lol

So glad everything is going well & you get to keep baking a little longer

At 34 weeks they predicted DS would be over 9lbs - my Ob disagreed and said baby didn't feel that big, he reckoned 8-8.5. Scan was right! We had a 9lb2oz DS But the scans generally have a 10% error margin, depends where they measure too. Given where I'm getting kicks from this little one already (halfway to my ribs!) I am predicting a big 'un.

Damp - glad baby's growing well, hope the fluid levels stay ok and bubs can stay inside for a whole lot longer

Clairesmummy - I have all my fingers and toes crossed for a sticky bub for you - I had some weird crampy feelings with this bub too and was paranoid, but it was just the stretching starting it's the same for you! I'm 23 weeks now btw

IM - how did your BSLs go with the chocolate cake? Hope you managed to keep it under control

Sorry, memory fails for other persies

We've all got colds in our house at the moment, so waiting for the sore throat to go away - DS seems to be on the improve and DH and I are still just keeping on keeping on.

I'm approaching EDD for our angel (5 August). It's weird to still think about it when I've got a healthy bub on board, but still it's just there in my mind. I remain paranoid about bringing this baby home, having weird thoughts about having a stillbirth or going into too early labour. I'm sorry to bring up my paranoia, but I just don't seem to be able to totally relax like I did with DS. Does the shine go out of pregnancy or is it my imagination? It's not like I've had a late loss or even recurrent miscarriages. Maybe I'm just weird. I haven't been able to name this baby - even the name we picked has lost its shine too. I am struggling to get things set up - I'm doing it, but not too much, just enough to be ready just in case.

They did an ultrasound at 35 weeks and said she measured somewhere around 6 and half to seven pounds. She was born almost 3 weeks later weigning 5lbs 13 oz
