Stoked - I would like to join this Ina May cheersquad, lol. That was the first book I read after Telly sent it to me and I LOVED it. I think that's where I realized I don't have to be afraid of birth. I'm reading Active birth right now and it's just as good, actually more 'technical'. As for the spotting, I wonder if it's still possibly related to implanation? Like a bit of blood took a while to escape the body? Not sure.
Tegam - I'm the opposite I think, grew up around all the birth horror stories. They used to scare me but now they just annoy me. As I said, why don't women support eachother? It's like a competition to see who had the hardest longest labour.. and everyone wants to win. It's stupid! My own sister used to tell me her own birth stories over and over again when I was a kid (she's 12yrs older than me) and delighted in the horrified look on my face! I've decided to put all the negativity aside and just enjoy things. DP is also irritated by the number of people who have told him how awful having a baby is (men he knows at work) and how hard it is and blah blah blah. DP says he wonders if maybe they didn't want their babies, because he's excited about having a little one. (awwww)
Ferrals - exactly!!! Well said. Congrats on the great sex... lol.
AFM - Just about to check out the baby's room, DP has snuck in and hung our little mesh toy hanging thingiemagig and I'm dying to see it.YAY!

me post: not looking good. At 6w1d I measured exactly 6 wks but now at 7w5d I only measure 6w5d. The baby has grown a bit more than the sac did so the sac now measures not in ratio to baby which is not good. The h/b is supposed to be around 160-180 but is only 117. So it's not looking at all good, almost exactly the same as with the twins back in March. And yes we should be having twins this time as well as there are two clear sacs, but he said one sac is empty. he did abdominal scan not internal. Not sure if that makes any difference? The fact my nausea is not as bad as it was last week is also not a good sign , he said it could mean my hormone levels are already decreasing. I have to go back next Monday morning to see if there is any change.
I think I need all the prayers I can get

Angelic - Oh hun, I don't want to give up hope for you. I can tell you this much, an internal scan gives a MUCH clearer image than an abdominal. The news doesn't sound positive though, but still I will cling to any hope I can for you in this scary time. Perhaps next time you can request an internal (because they're so glamorous, of course...) I'll keep you in my thoughts and will be having some serious words with the universe about giving you a break for once!
AFM - Not a whole lot to report, except that I got a call from Brisbane mater today saying I have a scan booked for next wednesday. Ummmmmm great. I was tempted to refuse it but DP seems to think we should just go along with what the drs say, since we aren't drs ourselves. A good point yes, but as i said to him today: If he can't get the day off, I'm not driving 2hrs round trip by myself into the bowels fo hell (Sorry Brisbane dwellers, but it really is awful driving in the city) for an unneccesary scan. I am in the LOW RISK category, people! Stop harassing me with these extreme measures. Really. This baby is going to be born no matter what, and there is obviously nothing seriously wrong, as the Dr stated that previously saying there would have been some clue in one of my numerous previous scans. But noooo they're going to make me go all the way to Brisbane for something I don't need. The only reason I'm going along with it is so that I can see the baby again, and hopefully a clearer picture on their high tech machines. Ok I'm finished sooking over nothing really, carry on everyone.
Angelicdragon-I am so sorry it is not looking positive but while there is a heart beat and growth i will pray to the same person who gave me my healthy little girl to bring into this world will bless you with a healthy bub also.
Forshelby-just go and prove to them that bub is fine it is proberbly just a precausion.
