Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss ~ October 2010

[forshelby]

Audax - LOL I love that you associate the weather with the state of your hair. I am exactly the same. I look outside before I decide whether to straighten my hair or what.. hehehe. I'm glad I'm not the only one knitting! Grandma was very impressed when I whipped out my knitting, she said 'Oh I love to see things made by hand, it's lovely'. She asked me if knitting is still 'fashionable' lol. And I agree, old wives tales are fun!

Kmm- Hun, I understand how hard it is to take the leap and make a ticker, but honestly I don't think a loss would be any easier if you were to look back and say 'oh at least I didn't make a ticker'. I say enjoy this pg every day that it lasts, whether it only be fleeting or for the long haul. Try to focus on the here and now and just love your baby as best you can. Don't panic about the ms disappearing. Mine 'disappeared' about a dozen times, only to reappear with a vengeance at the worst possible moments. Enjoy the break from feeling terrible while you can. The cramping is fairly normal too, I still get that feeling on and off now, it's just things growing and accomodating baby. As long as you have no bleeding, no severe painful cramping in the centre of your abdomen, all should be a-ok. Are your bbs still tender?? That is if they were to begin with. Perhaps your multivitamin is helping you not to feel so seedy... I think the B vitamins are supposed to help with that. It's ok to feel afraid, but remember you're never alone as long as we're all here, hun! Put your feet up, have a hot chocolate or something soothing, and go to your happy place.

Mildez - Oh, I had the shooting pains too... freaked me right out for a while there but nothing has come of it. I think you're doing just fine.

AFM - Well I definitely look pg now. My belly sticks out further than my boobage (and I have ample boobage, LOL) and I'm looking soooo round. It's great. When DP's cousins came to see us while we're in the city they all said 'WOW! Look at you!' I know that's the polite way of saying 'your belly is big' LOL. Last night I had my first major disco party (or tantrum) in my tummy going on, and DP says he thought he felt something from the outside when we were cuddling in bed last night. How exciting is that.

I am exactly the same. I look outside before I decide whether to straighten my hair or what..

You only look outside? I need to check two forecasts AND the BOM radar! Caring less and less as I get more and more pregnant though! Great news about your internal disco party! I am getting hiccups nearly very day at the moment; it is adorable. At the scan on Thursday, baby was breathing away the whole time, and I guess that's why.

kmm - yes, my m/s subsided at 8 weeks, I saw my doc, who was so very understanding. Turned out it was nothing, just a couple of days respite before Welcome to Spewtown, population me. I was already on weekly hCG and progesterone tests though, and had had a scan, so there wasn't much else to do anyway. Fingers crossed for you!
