Pregnancy after miscarriage or loss ~ September 2010

[forshelby]

Reet - LOL, You probably still look all slim and trim compared to me. I think I bought my first little 'romper' type suit for baby when I was about 15 weeks. Maybe a little earlier. I waited until now to get more things, and when we get back to the GC we're picking up the cot etc. DP can't feel the movements yet, but he's getting more and more 'attached' to my belly, lol. This morning he kissed it good morning, and yesterday he was tickling it and rubbing it all the time, it was really cute. It shouldn't be long until you get those first flutters. YAY! You aren't a bad friend for feeling a bit jealous. Try to look at it this way though: You're further along. You're past 12wks now. You're technically out of the 'danger zone'. Your chances of mc are about 0.5% now. I hope that helped. I would have found your friend's casual mention of 'oh if I don't miscarry' REALLY irritating. Obviously she's never had one, or she wouldn't mention it so casually. I would have made an excuse and gotten the heck out of there. You don't have to feel evil for admitting your true feelings. It takes courage to face up to some of our more 'dark' feelings..... and it's ok. We all have them from time to time. So far you're doing just great, being supportive of her etc.. so don't beat yourself up. I'm here to do that for you if you ever need it, lol.

Sunshine - How exciting that you have your own doppler. I find my furbaby tries to sleep on my belly too, and it does feel uncomfortable. I'm trying to train him to just put his head on my belly and sit on my lap. I think sending the IVF doctors a present is a lovely idea.

Tegam - Hehe, I can see how baby socks might bring on some tears. Your DD must be a sensitive little thing. How cute. And yes, you ARE nearly there! How exciting is that.

Audax - Aww, how sweet that baby has hair. Did you have much heartburn? Apparently that means bubby is growing hair. Sounds like you ran a marathon today.... get some rest, woman!

Angelfish - Stay positive, hun.

AFM - Starting to get a little bit homesick for my furbabies, and just feeling a bit bleh. In other news, I've had a great opportunity to catch up on my knitting (baby blanket) and it's looking great. I hope everyone is well.

What have i missed? Why are you missing your furbabies?? I love hand knitted goods for babies, pity this one is a January QLD baby!

Tegam - i am knitting for this baby! Just doing it with larger sized stuff, so that if next winter is like the last one was, we'll be well armed!

forshelby - yes I have had crazy heartburn! Mind you, DH's cousin didn't have any, and she had the hairiest baby in the world.

I had the best night's sleep last night, but am already tired again! I'm going to lie down in front of the telly and chill out for the day.

Had MW appointmnet today. GCT was good, heartbeat was good, had antibodies needle....then... she measures my tummy, only 22-23weeks. She is worried about baby! Scan first thing monday morning....Now the wait is on. And only you ladies know what that feels like

[Reet]

Oh tegam why do these things have to happen when its almost the weekend so u've got to wait When was ur last u/s and midwife appointment??
Ive never had a baby before so i dont really understand how they measure ur stomach and go off that?? Doesnt everyones tummies grow at different rates?? Sorry if this is a really silly question.
Have u got plans for the weekend so u are kept busy?? I hope it goes really quickly for u, thinking of u xxx

Tegam if your tall then its very normal to have a smaller measurement. I'm almost 6foot and measured 16cm at 26weeks. All cause your abdo tends to go up not out and up like someone with a small waste. And my 36weeker was still 8lbs. Its funny as although often your fundus is where you expect it to be in cm's it actually measures alot smaller if your tall.

oh Tegam I have everything crossed for you. I hope the weekend flys for you. thinking of you. x
