Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss ~ October 2010

[BekZ]

OMG Kitten. I just saw your post here by chance. I wish you the most wonderful pregnancy hun

[angelfish]

Kitten~ i want to wish you the best of luck in your pregnancy.

t-hopes~I am happy for you that everything is okay. But just remmber that there is nothing wrong with seeing if your little one is okay and to make sure that the baby is okay sounds like you have a great dr.

Forshelby~ yeah i am not to worried about the choesrtol right now i had a problem with it when i was yonger and i brought it down fast the all natural way due to the meds gave me a really bad reaction. Also i got told that being pregnate raises your choestrol anyway the last test was 290 which is really high but they wanted a fasting one so i will find out in a couple of days.

AFM~ i happily get woken up by the little one moving and kicking about 6 am every day its my am wake up call even thoug i dont get that much sleep and i dont have to get up that early it just feels good

Welcome kitten i hope this pregnancy is smooth sailing i have had 5 pregnancies and you never know what you are going to get my 1st high BP and induced on my due date the 2nd perfect but bub decided to come 4 days late the 3rd pefect except for really itchy skin and he came 3 and a half weeks early then the next bad nuchal fold bad morph scan ended in our sweet angel not being viable with life and she was born at about 20 weeks then this pregnancy stress from the begining couldnt get pregnant had to do IVF then had a perfet nuchal then a cvs which doctor dropped more waiting and then had an early morph scan that was good then an amnio and the agonising wait for the results which are all good so it is a rollercoaster ride sometimes but worth it in the end.

Angelfish-what a nice way to be woken up in the morning.

AFM-Had my doctors appointment all good my belly is measuring 20 weeks i am a little worried my girl will be big my belly always measured 2-3cm below with my boys so to be 2 cm in front is new to me.

Kitten welcome and CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy.

T-Hopes you sound like you have a wonderful Ob. So pleased to hear your anxieties were relieved with that scan and that he is doing another for peace of mind which is awesome. Are you going to buy a doppler? I was just thinking after your next scan it wont be to long until you can use one at home and pick up bubs heart beat. At the moment I don't have one but am contemplating getting one for the 3rd Trimester.

Forshelby I am super into statistics so thought the ticker suited me perfectly. I can't wait until it hits 50% hopefully only another month to go. Then I'm hoping December completely flies by with Christmas.

Morning to all. My parents in law are coming t 10am this morning and OMG is my house a bomb. Got to get cleaning. MIL always complains about something even if the house is completely spotless she will go looking for a cobweb to complain about. And DH is coming home today haven't seen him for a week.

[T-hopes]

Mildez - Yeah i think I might.... just worried ill panic myself if i cant find any heartbeat??? Are they easy enough to use??
xx

[forshelby]

T- Hopes - Oh yay, I'm so glad you have an understanding OB. So happy things are going well.

Kitten - Hi and welcome! I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Also, don't worry about your fall. I fell down the stairs at work when I was 6wks pg, and was terrified I'd hurt the baby. The dr assured me baby is well protected within the pelvic bones at that early stage, and he was right..... I'm just over halfway to bringing this baby home now. Looking forward to getting to know you better, and congratulations on your pregnancy!!

Angelfish - Sounds like you know your stuff, hun. I have no doubt you'll get the all clear in no time! I love feeling the kicks, too. Bubby seems to get really active in the afternoon/evening, and I could just lie there for hours with my hand on my belly. I can only JUST feel kicks from the outside now, so DP is 'on alert' to feel the kicks when I tell him to run haha.

Ferrals - hehe, your little girl is being rebellious and doesn't want to conform. So great that she's healthy and doing well. What a relief!

Mildez - December always flies by. Eeeeekk.... I'll be giving birth before I know it! I hate when guests are coming and the house is a mess... so stressful. Especially when it's your MIL and she feels the need to pick on stupid things like a cobweb. LOL. Perhaps next time you visit her, find something to complain about. If you have to, plant some dirt and 'discover it'... LOL.

[angelfish]

t-hopes~ its hard at frist to find he hb you just have to make sure you have enough gel or what ever your using. But after you find he hb a couple of times you will be a pro at it.

forshelby~ yes i am also a diebectic i actually got my blood sugers down faster by reading up on all natural ways of getting it down rather then using the meds when one of the ones i was on was recalled due to causing heart issues.I know what you mean by being able to lay there and just feel the baby move i can do the same thing i get lost sometimes in just enjoying the fell of it. When i think about how long i have waited i can'believe it.

AFM i am finally showing at 25 weeks going on 26 weeks i am so happy i looked at myself today and could not believe it i stood there and just stared at myself i swear that everyone in the store thought i was crazy.Hard for me to believe that in a few short weeks i will be in my third trimester.Also i just want to say thank you to you all that have been a big support i could not have made i with out going 100% crazy with out the support that i have gotten

[angelfish]

Sometimes we all need a good rock! Be thinking of you!

[forshelby]

Tegam - Good luck for Monday's scan!

Angelfish - Happy angelversary to your bub. I hope it can be a special day of rememberance and reflection for you, instead of painful and sad.

AFM - Thought I had my old job back (not in the dept I was in thank god) but they hired someone the same day I called! Arghhh, dang it! I was so pumped to go back to work and earn some cash, but no... I was a couple of hours too late. My old boss was really nice, and said she'd call me if anything went wrong or if the situation changed. I was sure to tell her "I'm pregnant, but I'm still good!" LOL

[Tegam]

Forshelby: You are working hard at the moment. And in a few weeks you wont want to work, trust me! Enjoy growing your baby!

[forshelby]

Tegam - No, no.. I'm really not working hard atm.. LOL. I gave up my job just over a couple of months ago due to a bullying situation, and the stress it caused me. I really would've liked to have my old job back, it was a desk job, and I could do it with my eyes closed. Plus the ladies I worked with were AWESOME and I miss seeing them everyday. (I still visit every few weeks for 'belly inspections' LOL) But I figure it wasn't meant to be, and I was meant to just enjoy this pregnancy. Still, the money would've been nice, and being able to walk into a comfortable familiar environment and earn cash for the baby. Ahhhh well. Perhaps they'd have me back after my mat. leave.

AFM - I forgot to mention earlier how excited my BIL (technical BIL, if I was married to DP, lol) is about the baby. He asked me if he could touch my belly today, and the look on his face was sooo funny. He was like a kid on xmas day holding a present, haha. So glad our baby will have such a lovely uncle.

Hi Girls

Ive been hiding under my own rock... ive been a little too anxious the last few days. All i can say right now is I LOVE MY DOPPLER!!! My dh and mum were saying i need to get rid of it and just try and relax and think positively.. but u know what.. if using the doppler for 1 minute a day puts a smile on my face then im going to keep using it! I am still spotting the TINIEST little bit (like i get a little bit of white cm with a tinge of pink to it) so do get quite anxious sometimes.. i think my dh is realising how much it reassures me when i hear the hb tho so he is quite understanding.
We had a bit of a sad moment yesterday where we were just saying how we dont know how we wld get thru it if something was to happen.. dh got a bit teary which made me cry i know we wld get thru it but i honestly dont know how.. i dont think i wld have it in me to go thru the whole ttc and pg thing again. But anyway i dont want to think negatively... i really hope everything is going to be alright. I did a bit of googling and all the stories i read about bleeding after 12 weeks ended up being positive ones so that made me feel a bit better.

Anyway.. enough about me!

Tegam i hope ur scan on monday goes well.. and baby can hang in there for a few more weeks.

Forshelby- Bugger bout that job! But hey if u were meant to go back to work now u wlda got it... just keep relaxing for the time being, and if they call u saying they want u to work then great but if not then u shld just enjoy being a stay at home pregnant lady

Angelfish- I hope the 8th isnt too bad.. i found i was absolutely dreading my edd in sept but it wasnt too bad when the day finally came.. i was just so grateful that i was pg.. that definitely helps. Oh and by the way i think its time to make a ticker.. i wld love to see the weeks go by for u

Mildez- Hope u got the house all cleaned. I always find having visitors is my motivaton to get moving... really wish i cld just keep up with the cleaning on a day to day basis tho! Hope u and dh had a lovely weekend together

T-hopes- Glad u got ur reassurance are u back to feeling sick again???

Ferrals- Are u feeling a lot bigger this time around??

Hi to all u other lovely ladies too.. i cant go back any further on this page sorry.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend xxx

[Tegam]

Forshelby! that was lovely of you to share your pregnancy with BIL like that. i Understand why some women dont like their belly touched but if you are ok with it is a nice way for people to experience the joy with you!

Reet: If the doppler is a positive thing then yes you should keep it! Your discharge sounds to me like it could be a bit of thrush? Have you been treated for that. It is common in pregnancy and can sometimes not have the usual symptoms??

One more sleep til scan...

[ferrals5]

Hi Ladies,

Reet i feel bigger this time around and i am 3 kgs heavier this time already so i definately can feel it on my little frame i am only 5'3 and usually weigh 62kg but the ivf put 3 kilos on me before i even fell pregnant so i hope i dont put on to much otherwise my legs wont cope.
And the doppler thing i would love to have one but cant afford it at the moment but if it helps you relax then its a good thing i just make sure i feel bub move everyday for reasurance.

Tegam-fingers crossed then scan goes well.

Angelfish-isnt it nice to see a belly it is all so much more real when other people can see there is a pregnant lady comming.

AFM-Not much going on other then DH having issues with work he is a security supervisor and the had a major incident at the night club fri night and some guy spat in DH face so he clocked him one and knocked him out so now the police are involved and the d#ckhead wants to press charges so DH has to go do a statement and get a solicitor dont know how we are going to pay for it.
If it goes to court DH can lose his security licence and get fined.
I dont need this stress right now.

[Tegam]

You need a brake from the stress ferrals!

[forshelby]

Reet - Aww... hun it's so hard! I'm going to say it again though, everything will be alright. Not sure what else to say except that I just feel positive about everything for you still. I was sad about the job but you're so right. I wasn't meant to go back. I'll be keeping my FX for you and your DH, when do you have another scan?

Tegam - Hehe, I didn't really think twice about it. Being DP's brother I think of him as my own brother, so it wasn't weird at all. I really don't mind having my belly touched, they're touching the baby, not me. That's how I think of it anyway. Best of luck for your scan, hun. I hope it all goes well.

Ferrals - I hope it all works out ok with DH's job. Spitting is assault, and your DH was doing his job, and defending himself. Why have security in place if they aren't allowed to enforce the rules using neccesary force??

AFM - Just another lazy Sunday........... I feel like going out but have no idea what to do with myself.
