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 :D 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 :D 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 :D
-
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 :crossfingers: 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
-
WBM 5th August was my EDD too. I have my 12 wk scan for this one today, which is when I found out the other one had gone. Quite nervous but also hopeful. Might have to get DH to tell me if it's safe to look, lol
Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!
-
Cheshire- Thanks :) How are you travelling along?
WBM- It doesn't matter if we are pregnant or not, we all mourn our angels and you are right to share with us, that is what we are here for.
Funny you should say about barely getting anything ready and thoughts about not bringing bub home cos I am the same. Almost everything I do have, is what I used for DS or brought for my last angel. All I have brought for this one is pilchers, snappies and 5 outfits, 2 are 00000 and 3 0000. Going shopping tomorrow but will be laybying, my theory was so that I'd be prepared for girl or boy but there is also the whole thing of not being sure bub will be coming home and I don't want a house filled with baby stuff without my lo. Has also caused a lot of bonding issues because I just have this niggling feeling that there will not be a new addition to our family, even felt like a fraud telling people that I'm pregnant, and even at my 19wk scan, which was my 4th scan this pg, I expected for there to be no baby, that I made it all up in my mind.
You are totally not alone and your fears are justified as all of ours are. If we keep them bottled away, it just makes them eat away at us even more.
Phebee- Good luck for your scan today, will be thinking of you.
How is everyone else going?
AFM- DS was estimated to end up around 7-9lbs and I was very happy with my 8lb4oz babe :D TBH, I don't think this lo will be quite as big as they say it will, have been thinking for the most part that it'll be another in the 8pound range. All 3 of my Mum's kids were :) My tummy seems so much smaller this time though lol.

Damprye~ Congrats darl on a good scan and being able to keep baking that bub for a little while longer, awesome news darl.
WBM~ Hugs to you on your angelversay darl, it's a hard thing to overcome. I'm not looking forward to my last due date which was the 22nd of Sept. Maybe you could plant a tree or something in honour of your angel on that day. Thank you for the sticky vibes darl, I did POAS again this morning and it is still very dark and very much a BFP, POAS was followed by a horrible taste in my mouth and a feeling of wanting to be sick so Im taking that as a good thing. Never thought I could be hoping to be chucking up ever, lol.
Phebee~ Good luck at your scan today darl, hugs to you for your nervousness, I totally understand how you feel. Be thinking of you today and sending lots of sticky vibes to you.
AFM~ Did another POAS this morning just to make sure i am definately still PG, came through super quick and a super dark BFP thankfully. Feeling pretty yuck this morning and very exhausted as well. Off to my GP appointment in the morning, in 2 minds if I should ask for a dating scan at 6 weeks or should I just wait until I see my FS on the 18th August and he will be doing a scan to check everything out anyhow.....ohhh the decisions already......Thinking that if I wait and just have the one with my FS at least bub would/should have a good strong HB by then, I will be 7wks 6 days PG when I see my FS......Any thoughts?
-
Damp i'm doing ok. Can't believe i only have 10wks or less till i meet my little girl.
I flat out refuse to go over, not that i have much choice lol
CM i think if you can hold off till your FS appt then you should do that. It will be a lot better seeing a strong healthy HB, than possibly not seeing one as your too early.
Phebee good luck for today, i have everything crossed your little one is super active today.
WBM :hug:
I was the same with Bambi till about 2 weeks ago when i slowly started buying her little things, i started off buying her 2 outfits from the baby market.
Then my friend brought me a nappy bag & another friend brought me some cute clothes for her. MIL started buying boxes of nappies.
Everyone else didn't doubt i would be bringing home a little baby it was only me who refused to get attached in case something happened.
Last weekend i even went and got her some blankets & clothes that DD1 picked out for her.
It's taken me almost 30wks but i'm finally really excited about this pregnancy & i'm even starting to sort through baby clothes so i can start packing her bag & make a list of what other things i still need to get her.
You'll find your Shine, it will just take time :hug:
-
Hi everyone sorry I've been a bit quiet its been so busy here.
Anyways I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and so worried about miscarriage still. I've wanted this for so long and now its actually happening I'm scared its going to be ripped away from me.
I have my NT scan next week and im so nervous. I haven't had any more bleeding. Just really nervous. Any suggestions to shake this feeling.???

Thank you girls. You all brought tears to my eyes. I really don't feel alone when I read in here and that's a very good thing to have. I did buy a couple of romper suits in a Target sale, but they're in with all the other baby gifts I have for my friends' babies between now and then.
I might go out on 5 August and buy new baby a guardian angel to look over her. The baby who had to pass so she could come into our family will always be looking out for her. It's funny saying her so often, I avoid it so I wont slip!
But DS is demanding Mummy at the moment (he's still the absolute light of my life). Poor boy, not well, this will be my 4th pooey nappy today, and he's ready for a sleep. I might have a sleep too, I'm knackered.
-
WBM: IKWYM, i've also felt so tentative about this pg. Even now, i can't believe there will be a baby in this house in 2.5wks! It doesn't seem real. Even after i passed the first trimester i didn't feel safe like I did with DD. I was scared i'd get further than the last two times only to have something worse happen. FOr a long time when i talked about the baby i'd say 'if' or other things to show I wasn't counting on things working out. I am now talking about the baby more definitely but it feels surreal...
Damprye: IKWYM, I also felt like a fraud telling people I was pregnant for a long time. At work i said very little about it and sort of let people figure it out for themselves. So about 22wks when my tummy was a lot more preggy looking a whole bunch of people said to me: oh, so you are pregnant. I had nightmares about telling everyone i was pregnant and then having to tell them i wasn't (if something went wrong).
Pheebee: I hope all went well today and you had happy news.
LysnDan: I hope the next week flies past for you so you can get happy scan news too.
AFM: Just had a mind-blowing thought: i've been pregnant for part of each year since 2007! (DD then two m/c then this baby!)
In other news: baby is giving me some whopper kicks in the side now. Strong enough to make me jump! Ouch! but I love it. It's reassuring. Having said that, i will not miss being pregnant: i think i've been too stressed by past experiences to enjoy the pg the way i did with DD. THough I smile when baby kicks and talk to it a bit, and I love 'chasing' it's foot around my belly with my hand and giving it a little tickle, i just want the baby out and safe and well.
-
Scan was lovely! Everything is going well :) Baby is 6cm long and measuring 12w 3d although by my careful date records it should be just 12 wks lol. Baby kept moving and stuff and looked like it was waving, it was so cute! :D Heartbeat is good at 172bpm. YAY!!!! :D:D:D:D Thanks so much for all your prayers and well wishes!
-
damprye~ congrats on the good scan
as far as trying to get out the nervus its very hard i just had Honor in jan and got pg right away as you all know and i am still scared everyday and everytime that i go to the drs. I did not start to get things for her until i was 32 weeks (honor) even then i was doughtful. Its very hard when you have had loss's in the past not to be scared.
AFM~ i go in every two weeks to make sure everything is okay hard to belive going on 17 weeks
-
Angelfish- Thanks and congrats on your almost 17weeks :D Feeling bub yet or still to come?
Phebee- Woohoo for the awesome scan :D It is awesome to see them all safe and wriggly in there with their lil hearts pumping away
PM- OMG! So soon? Wowza, that is fantastic! Can't wait to see your BA. Anytime now really :D
WBM- That's what we're here for hun :hug:
Lys- I don't think there is much anyone can do to stop the nerves except just to try and relax. It is always so scary going for scans but seeing them there is a great feeling.
Cheshire- Wow, 3quarters of the way there :D Not too much longer to go
Clairesmummy- POAS all you want if that is what it takes to get you through till your appt :) I'd say to wait to see your FS myself. It would hurt to be sent away without knowing if your baby is actually growing or not and that is a chance that you would have to take if you were to go get an early referral. Sometimes they just can't see tiny lil bub in the sac so soon. By the time you see your FS, you should get to see your little one's heart pumping away :D
AFM- Totally want to share this with all of you.
If you look up "35week pregnant belly" posted by Damprye on the tube, you can see how desperate bub usually is in his/her continous efforts to escape lol. This is seriously how much bub moves all night and day haha.
Who needs malteasers with a belly like mine? :D
-
PM - how weird is it being pregnant for that long! I've been pregnant part of every year since 2009, but that's nowhere near as impressive - although I've been pretty good at containing an entire pregnancy in a year :) It's good for the safety net :D
phee - that's awesome news on your scan! I hope you're able to relax a bit now you're passed the point of your last angel :) I love seeing them all nestled safely and happily wriggling away in there!
angel - glad everything's going well for you - are you finding out the sex of your baby?
Clairesmummy - I agree with Damp, wait until your FS appt, then you know you'll see a heartbeat and not be worried if you don't see one at 6w. Sounds like he's a great FS!
Damp - I had a look, how cool is that bit :) I loved watching my belly with DS, I've seen a few bumps with kicks so far, and can't wait for that alien like movement :)
afm, I feel awful, I haven't been this sick in DS's lifetime :( I'm feeling a bit better now than when I woke up, but I was up every 1.5-2 hours to go to the loo, have a drink and blow my nose so I didn't knock the house down with snoring. The sooner I can get my nose fixed, the better (there isn't much room in my sinuses).
-
Thanks everyone i think i felt tiny movement. I dont know about finding out the sex with this one i think i might want to make it a surprise. But i found out today that my scan is on the 11th of august three weeks away time is going to go so slow. Bf got a notice though the mail that he is behind in child support which is wrong. But they want to take out 800 a month till he is paid up he usally pays 500 a month. I am so upset last time i was pregnat this type of stuff came up before everything was quiet.
Wannabeamum~ i hope you feel better soon hun
Damprye~ I was on best rest around that time with Honor and i remmber just laying there and watching my belly move it was the highlight of my day
-
hi everyone,
well i have been dragged into this thread kicking and screaming by clairesmummy(lol), don't get me wrong im thrilled to be here but after 3 previous miscarriages i am very wary of putting it out there that im pregnant again and kept putting off posting "just in case" it all went wrong again.
i have had 3 blood tests and the numbers have been going up well, i will have one more either sat or monday and then a scan next week, im already nervous about having that. i have had a m/c at 9 weeks and 2 chemical m/c's at 5 weeks. this is a clomid pregnancy and im on progesterone pessaries until 12 weeks, fingers crossed this is a sticky baby for us, we have a DD and DS (5 & 3)
-
CM & MM what's your EDDs & i'll put you both up on the list :)
MM congrats on your pregnancy & wishing you H&H 9 months :D
Damp time seems to be dragging now i'm getting closer.
Phee great news, i'm really really happy for you :D
LD i don't think there anything you can do to shake that feeling except hearing & seeing a healthy little HB.
Good luck for your scan next week.
Wow PM not long to go for you at all, how exciting :D
