Got a positive hpt yesterday, darker today. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow. So extremely early. Only have one foot in here. Hope I can get the rest of me in here and then get too fat to get out until June next year ;).

Welcome blondtress, I really hope and pray your bleeding is just bub settling in and getting nice and comfy xxx
Dantri so pleased to see you with a BFP hun!! Praying this one is a happy sticky bub and you can roll out of here fat and happy with a bub in your arms in June :)
Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!
Dantri- :leap::leap: I am so excited for you!!!!
BT- Take it easy hun...were thinking of ya
As usual this will be just a quick one from me girls, sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks but I am totally exhausted at the moment and have no energy to do anything at all. The vommitting is staying at bay for awhile but still get up every morning dry reaching. Had my GD test on Friday and it has come back positive, I am off for my first hospital appointment this Fridayand they will be putting an action plan into place for me with my GD.
Welcome and huge congrats to the newbies, sending you all lots of sticky vibes.
Thanks for the welcome guys.
Phe and TM- it's nice that I can be in here with some of my lovely Feb BB group. Not nice that you have to be in here of course but you know what i mean. I meant to post a congrats in the thread the other week after you all had your scans (I've been stalking!) but forgot. So exciting that you're feeling movement.
Still early days for me. I POAS with fmu this morning only to get a fainter result than last night. Freaked out and have tested twice since. They're getting darker. I'm happy that the last one was a BFP so will stop now. Although DH refuses to understand that hpts aren't like opks and you don't need to have a dark as control or darker test line for it to be positive lol. PLUS he doesn't trust the eBay ones I've got. PLUS in all his experience as a fertility expert he insists it's too early for any result and as such all lines are false ATM. Lol. So I'll be buying and taking a 'big' and 'proper' test at 5 weeks (next Monday). Men....sheesh.
Feeling good ATM but I'm sure I'll have a few meltdowns in the coming months. 4 weeks till my first scan aaaarrrggghh!

Clairesmummy - just saw your post, sorry to hear about the GD but I'm sure your medical team will get you sorted. it's just one thing after another with this having babies guff isn't it :).

Had an ultrasound this morning couldn't find a heartbeat but it could be too early, looks good sitting high in the uterus with a white ring around it which they apparently like, yolk sack and tiny baby measuring 5wks 4 days which is about right, so now I have to wait another week or so to have another ultrasound to find a heartbeat, more bloods on Friday to check hcg rising, fingers crossed and loads of sticky baby dust please, I hope you are all traveling well and nausea is not keeping you down
Blondtress i had the same thing & i went back at 6w3d and there was a beautiful little heartbeat.
Loads of sticky vibes for you.
Morning all, just a quickie on my way out to work.
Welcome Dantri! Glad to hear about your BFP (we know it's one even if DH doesn't :) )
I'm off to my Mum's for a few days to celebrate her 60th. We've just got through the few days of celebrating DS's 2nd birthday and Mummy is completely knackered. Life is good, baby is growing, unfortunately so are the numbers on the scales, I wish they wouldn't (but then, a healthy pregnancy requires some weight gain!)
Lots of sticky baby dust to throw around in here, take care of yourselves girls and I shall check in after the weekend.
Hi Lovely ladies. Im back from my holiday and will try and catch up again. I was very excited to see my signature today being almost 9 weeks, after not being on BB for a week :D
Welcome to the newbies Blondtress and Detri ~ congratulations and :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: wishing you all the best.
Hope everyone is well ! Hugs
Dantri good to see you darl... Congrats on your bfp. Xxx
Loops how was your holiday? Where did you go? Did you have fun?
Hi to everyone else xxxx
AFM ... Bubs has been quite quiet today... I'm sure it'll make up for it tonight whilst I'm trying to sleep. I don't mind though the feel of it is amazing. Love it.
I've booked a scan through a private scan place that does 3d imaging etc... At $250 for the package it better be good and bubs better show us his or her bits lol
It does include momentos and dvds etc... Good to bring our parents as well so they can see :)
Anyways hope you're all well... Will be back for more in depth persies when I get on a computer. Off to cook dinner now. Xx

Blondtress- Over here in the states they refuse to do ultrasound until your 6 weeks so there is a HB for sure. They dont like to freak the mothers out...it is way to early. Like Cheshire said..you will hear it :)
Cheshire- I love the pics on FB of your new one! Can you believe it..almost a year ago we were in the TTC thread together wondering if our eggy was preggy and now you have a little one!!
Loops- Yay1 Almost 9 weeks
WB- Dont worry about the scale...just think..you are so close to your new baby!
Lysndan- I hope the scan goes well for you and baby cooperates :)
AFM- I am in the part of my pregnancy I dont like...week 23-27. I just want to make it too week 28 so I can feel safer if bubs was to come early. Due to the nature of my uterus and there not being a lot of room for baby I always worry about preterm labor around now...
hi all
i just want to wish you all the best of luck in your pregnancies, ive decided to leave bellybelly.
if your list is updated can you please not have haydens middle name on it? it comes up in a google search and i dont like that lol
take care x
Why are you leaving bb ? Don't go alish xxx:
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
Alish- Yeah whats going on? Everything alright?
I gone through & edited out all the baby names :D
Alish sorry to hear your leaving as well, hope everything is ok
Thanks mummas for the welcome. Alisha, sorry to hear you go. Good luck!
I'm ticking along. I can't believe I found out this early symptoms are slowly starting to get more regular which is nice. Still jus over 3 weeks till our first scan. Crikey!
Good friends of ours have just announced that they're preggers. They know about our mc and called DH before announcing it on fb which was nice as we'd planned to do the same with them as they've had to go almos straight to ivf for her medical reasons. They are due about a month before us, if this bub sticks.
I'm really happy for them but still find it difficult itms. Even though I've got my BFP I should have a belly. Our baby should be older. When we visit them in hospy, I should already have a baby! Instead I'm stressing about whether or not I'll have to give my family bad news at Christmas time and spend the holidays grieving. I mean I'm being positive but I've been jibbed before you know. I'm trying to keep focused on my baby now and seeing this babys heartbeat in a few weeks and kissing this little babies soft little head in a few months. But dammit, no one
Else should be allowed to get preggers before I have a positive 12 week scan!! Lol. I know ridiculous.
Aaaarrrgghh. Just needed to get that of my chest guys, sorry for the me me me!

Hey dantri. That's totally understandable hun. And I know your still thinking what could have been? That's normal. Fx this bubba is a sticky one... And that you can relax soon. Are you getting any monitoring done this time ? Eg repeat hcg and progesterone or more frequent scans? It's ok to ask this from your doctor, given that you've had a loss before I'm sure they'll understand. Xx hugs xx

Thanks. I'm not going to get bloods done, it wouldn't have changed anything last time anyway because my body still thought I was pregnant with a growing bubba until the 12 week scan showed otherwise. And I'd completely obsess over them. I am getting an earlier scan though but we're going to wait until 8 weeks so there should def be a heartbeat or not. I couldn't stand 'waiting and seeing' so don't want to go earlier. Also bubs stopped growing last time around 6-7 weeks so want to wait until we are over that age. I'll wait and see how I feel about a 10 week scan but think I might stick out the 4 weeks in between so I can get a 14 wk scan just before we tell everyone. I'm still nervous that after the 12wk scan something could go wrong and then it'll be like last time where we'll tell the fam at Xmas only to have to untell them a couple of weeks later. So scans at 8, 12 and 14/15 weeks. Is that ott?
I'm also worried for my friends that they've announced before their 12 week scan. Even though they've seen the heartbeat etc. Given my experience I'm still worried. As if I didn't worry enough before all this TTC and getting pg guff. Holey moley, only going to get worse though isn't it, being a mum. :)

Well I went to my follow up appt at the hospital this morning to the early pregnancy assessment service and wasted 1 hr 45 mins of my time, I had told the dr at emergency it would be too soon after my u/s on Tuesday but I went along anyway, only to be told it's too early for another u/s, it was like they had to justify their existence, so glad I'm going through a private obstetrician and not the midwife service at my local hospital, I'm off to the GP at lunch to have so bloods taken though to make sure hcg is rising. I know they could still be rising even if I have miscarried but it will be nice for some short term reassurance before yet another 2WW til my next u/s. At least all the symptoms are still there, I am so hungry all the time, if I don't have food in my mouth I feel sick, so tired, sore boobs, hurt myself at work the other day pulling my chair it is got caught on the floor mat and I have strained my sacroiliac joint - not fun!
I'm hoping you are all well and gearing up for all our scans soon xxoo
Blondtress~ welcome i hope all goes well for you.
Dantri~ welcome also so happy to see two new people
Alsih~ i wish that you did not have to go
Dantri- Thats how I was after my second miscarriage...with this bub I refused hcg bloods as I knew if it was to happen..it would happen. This time around I am feeling things will go so much better for you! Are you going to get more ultrasounds though in the beginning?
Well I got the bloods back from yesterday and they seem to be rising well - 55300 from 27384 on Monday, crossing everything this means it is going really well, have now booked another u/s for Tuesday morning so I will be 6 wks 6 days and hoping for that heartbeat!
Blondtress- What day did you get the second blood test done...48 hours after the first?
The Mrs - First one was on Monday and was 27384 and the second one was on Friday and 55300
Alish, sorry you are leaving. I tried to PM you but it didn't work so I guess you've signed off already... Best wishes if you do read this thread again.
Belly rubs to everyone...
Hi Ladies,
It has been many moons since I was in this thread, can not believe I am here again. Some of you are going to hate me and hate what I am going to say and I am so sorry to start with, because it's people like me that make me angry...
I lost my first baby and was devestated, thought I would never get over the loss of my baby, then I feel pregnant with my goregous cheeky very indenpendant daughter, who had her 1st birthday in September. She is our joy. DF and I are meant to be getting married in March next year, 5 months away, almost to the date....
We found out yesterday that we're pregnant...... and all I have done since is cry, cry because it's a miracle (ill explain later on why) cry because we have to change our wedding date, cry because HOW DID THIS HAPPEN>??? Cry because I am terrified to think i might lose another child, having felt so much love with Audrey I am terrified beyond words what i am going to feel if i lose this baby i dont know if i will be able to come back from that...... lossing 2 babies.....
My DF is in shock, we haven't really talked about it - in fact we haven't really talked at all.... I am lost for words, i am just scared....
This baby is a miracle, when i was 17yrs old i was told i had a 7-15% chance of having a baby naturally. Then I fell prengant, miracle, then I lost her. Fell pg again carried her to full term and she our living mircale This baby, we were using protection, I wasn't ovulating, wasnt in my fertile week, wasnt meant to fall pregnant! I keep thinking how did this happen and this is why i think you will all hate me becuase i fell pregnant while using protection and not trying... I just feel so numb ...
Thanks for listening to my rant.. I'm going to go back and read some other posts from you ladies and get to know you better - sincce hopefully I will be here for a while.. I want this baby as does my DF we're just in shoc right now and just have no words
Hi everyone--
I have not been posting because we just found out that I am going to miscarry again. At our 6 week ultrasound, there was no heartbeat.
Just wanted you to know, as I won't be posting. We won't be able to try again until after the holidays.
Please pray that I stay strong. We are going to look into adopting, but we aren't good candidates because of my husband's age (and the fact that he has had cancer)
We need prayers.
S&S- I am so so sorry...:(
Hi Lovely Ladies
S&S ~ (((GBH))) so very sorry hun, you will be in my :pray: GL with the adoption and when you have another try ~ never give up hun!
Lysndan ~ thanks. Hope you are doing well. I went to the Melb Show to help my mum with cattle - well a small amount of help this time only, and then in the middle I went to the Deniliquin Ute Muster :) so not really a very relaxing holiday but I did have a great time and tried to take it easy.
Blondtress and Dentri ~ know exactly how you are feeling - all the anxiety, but you'll get through! one day at a time. I'm still a little anxious every now and then especially when I get headaches or lower back pain but then a new day comes and everything seems to be ok again. Fingers and toes crossed for you and :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Alish ~ you may have left but if you do read this - really hope everything is ok - hugs
The Mrs ~ everything crossed for you at this tuff stage! you'll get through!
H.P.L. ~ Dont feel bad and no-one should hate you because we all deal with losses differently and obviously yours had a huge impact on you. I hope you start to feel better about everything soon and that everything works out for the best. Best of wishes!! Hugs
Sorry to anyone Ive missed and I hope you are all well.
AFM ~ Bit anxious again last day or so as Ive right now got a bad headaches and Ive been getting some tummy cramps and lower back pain - nothing too bad but I can't help to get a little worried over the symptoms even when I nearly 10 weeks and getting closer to the 2nd trimester. I saw the OB few days ago and my next scan will be 28th Oct - I'll be 12.1 weeks - can't wait :) next week I'm having the BT for downs syndrome.
Loops- If it makes you feel better, it is completly normal to have tummy cramps at this time from the uterus doing so much currently. I had cramping up until 12 weeks
Houston...We have a heartbeat!!! 123 bpm, looking good, soooo happy and relieved, still not terribly excited until end of next week and we will be having 1 more at 8 wks 2 days cause we lost our last one at 7 wk 6 days, today we measured 6 wks 5 days which is spot on! Woot! Slight concern, there is another teeny blob in the sack, could not find a heart beat in it but it was very close to the wall and may just be a projection of the placenta ...or it could be or have been a twin, they are not sure at all and only time will tell apparently, I will be seeing my obsterician next Friday after my next ultrasound so she may be able to tell us more, good luck all, I hope your's are also beating away :)
Well, a lot of good and bad news going on in here!
Alish, sorry to see you go, I know I've missed you, but thought I'd just add that anyway.
S&S, so sorry to hear the news - is 6 weeks too early to say there's no hb? I'm trying to be a positive thinker for you and hope they got it so wrong, but I am sending you all the luck in the world for your adoption push, all kids deserve parents who love them regardless! Maybe fostering is a good place to start? But I don't know anything about all that. Good luck!
HPL - I hope you can take your handle to heart! Hope, positive, love. Obviously this BFP was meant to be there for a reason. And yes, we all deal in different ways. I still think I should have been ahead of all my friends instead of behind, but here I am bringing up the rear :)
GL for your scan Loops! I hope you see one great healthy bub in there :) I had cramps too in my first trimester.
blondtress - awesome news :) Gorgeous hb on your little bubby.
AFM, I spent last week up at my Mum's place celebrating her 60th after a busy weekend with DS's 2nd birthday. Phew. It's all over :) 5 more days at work and it can't come soon enough really. I'm getting ready to have this baby out. On the RLT twice a day now, about to ramp that up a bit more. Now to decide about EPO or not. I think we're ready in the house to bring another one home :) Three of my friends/family had babies last week, all very exciting! One has a similar name to what we've picked for our bubby, so hopefully they're not annoyed when we don't change our mind.
Getting lots of BH and this baby just doesn't stop moving!
Hi all just wanted to stop in and say hi to all.
I have been tired and really stressed today did not help. I feel like the worse mom in the world. Today Honor and i went out to the store when i came back i put her down just to set the bags right next to her and she went to reach for something when she did she rolled and fell down the flight of stairs. There are 14 all together i totally lost it i started to scream. When she got down to the bottom i picked her up she was not crying the nighbor came over and she took us to ther er. The whole time i was getting contractions. I called her father he was going to meet me there. When i got there i was still crying the nurse took her from me and did the whole triage thing. They brought her back and as soon as she got to a bed she started to jump and laugh and play she has three bruises on her head and we have to keep an eye on her for the next 24 hours. I feel as if i cant do this. I cant help but feel as if i have failed her as a mom. Sorry if this is just a me post but i had to get this out
OMG Angelfish, I hope she is ok, I would be so freaked out - I think anyone would! Try not to worry too much, kids are so resilient, they fall over and bumped their heads many times in their life, she will be fine :) big hugs for such a traumatic experience! xxoo
Oh Angelfish- That sounds so horrible and crazy. I would feel the same way..glad shes ok :(
Angel, it's so massively scary when they get hurt - or you think they might have! A friend from mothers' group had her baby roll off a very high bed, my little man pulled a heavy glass bowl onto the tiled floor and wound up with stitches (while I was having the miscarriage, I wasn't thinking clearly when I put the bowl down, felt like a huge mummy fail), umm, another friend's little boy tore the skin next to his boy parts slipping in the shower... Not to belittle anything that happened to you - I certainly would have freaked out too, you have every right to, just saying you CAN do it, it happens to all kids and as blondtress said - they're resilient, I am sure she'll be fine. I hope you can put your feet up tonight and take a deep breath! :hug:
THankyou all for your kind words she seems to be doing well. But i still have flash backs of the whole thing.Went in for a scan yesterday and the other baby is doing well i got to see her again. I cant believe i hit the 28 week marker and heading to 29.
I hope all is well i dont see anyone posting for a while
Yes, it's a bit quiet in here :) I'm still in the boring part of pg where nothing's happening except for a whole lot of alien movement! 35+2 and feeling about 45+2, ready for baby to come out even if it's not ready to come out yet :) No, happy to wait a few more weeks, not feeling quite ready at home - I don't think it's really real yet, how weird is that! I still need to do so much - pack bags, put the car seat in, get the bassinette emptied (it's made up, just has a bunch of stuff in it now) umm, get an insert for the pram, put a skateboard on the pram for DS, spring clean, do all the normal stuff - oh and enjoy the last few weeks of this pregnancy!
Hey everyone.
I had my hospital booking appointment yesterday (in Perth hospitals they don't do this until after 20 weeks) so I'm all booked in, but they didn't have time to give me a tour. :( so ill have to go back and have a quick look. They run the tours on a Saturday and that's when I work :( boo...
Anyway, I scored pretty poorly on my depression and anxiety test as expected, I'm at higher risk of developing PND after bubs is born.
I've had what I think as Braxton hicks over the past few days. Tightening with a bit of pain. But it goes away pretty quickly. So that's good.
The midwife at the hospital was lovely and explained quite a lot in regards to why ill need synto injection to speed up delivery of my placenta during birth. Apparently it reduces risk of bleeding after birth and being iron deficient they don't want me to lose much blood.
Anyway just under a week to go until I have my monthly OB appt. I might find out what we are having if my OB can give me a scan and bubs cooperates this time lol
