    Loops - can't wait for your 12 week results It's so exciting. Especially when I look at your signature - inspiring for a number of reasons

    LnD - Knowledge is power - being aware and monitoring your own mental health is a really positive thing, not a negative. I was a high risk too with a personal and family history of depression, but had no problems with PND (aside from the normal feelings of "oh crap what am I doing" when you're completely sleep deprived!

    10 weeks to go Angel - that's exciting! You're just about in count down mode now

    I'm off to the Ob today, see what he says about how big this enormous baby of mine is - any guesses as to what weight this baby will be when it comes out? DS was 4.13 kg, or 9lb2oz.

I asked if what if it all happens again and he told me not to worry he is THAT confident! Lol well fingers crossed and loads of sticky baby dust, I will let you know how I go

    blondtress and Jess - I reckon you'll be about right on the size there, if not a bit bigger. Oh well, a woman I met having DS had a VBAC with a 10lb-er, so I can do anything!

    blondtress, I agree your DH sounds really lovely - are you having a scan at the Ob? It's nice to see a little flickery heartbeat in there!

    Jess - thanks for taking over the list

    LnD - great news on your little girl, is that what you expected? I have a cousin Amelia, I love the name She gets Amy as a nickname. Angel's right, there are a LOT of little girls, anyone who knows is having a girl in here, no known boys coming!

    angel - good luck tomorrow, hope it's all going well

    I forgot to ask the Ob a size estimate today, but I'm seeing him in a couple of weeks, so he'll be able to tell me then. Head down, very high and mobile, but doing the right things. Itchy skin on tummy, and weirdly (TMI) perineum. Got advice re both so I'm happy.

    Wbm I thought I was having a girl tbh I am a little disapointed I'm not having another boy, but not ungreatful that I'm pregnant and she appears to be healthy...

    I've got 17 or so weeks to get used to it lol...

    My belly is playing tricks on me... One day its looking hugely pregnant. Others its looking like I have had a few too many burgers. I just wish I would pop already. (i know ill regret saying that though. Lol)

    blondtress- YAY!!! Im so happy for you Little bubs HB is so strong!!

    Lysndan- I was sort of wanting a boy too but..I promise you that little girls are so incredibly sweet

    WB- Im getting that horrible itchy skin too..Im also getting a weird discoloration on my stomach..have u ever had that?

    Had a scare today...DH and I were rushing in the store and I wasnt paying attention and ran into him with my wallet pushing into my stomach. My tummy really hurt for an hour and we rushed home and did the water test..luckily she started kicking but it scared me

    Well ladies Im back and am extremely excited to be here, it too a few days to come to terms with the fact we're pregnant again but it is a miracle that I am pregnant and that we conceive this baby naturally - so we shall embrace the opportunity!! Oh how a few good days of crying puts everything into prospective!

    My heart goes out to all the wonderful ladies that have entered this thread and sadly had to leave... It is still early days and we are extremely cautious with this bubba, but fingers crossed everything will be okay.

    I am too nervious to go for a scan yet as it is still early days, i think my heart would sink if it were too early to see a heartbeat... then i overthink things and go maybe i should go for a scan and see if i have had a missed miscarriage!! i hate that i have lost a baby before, because with these 2 pregnancies instead of being so over the moon excited like all my friends have been recently i am scared poopless that something might happen... it doesnt occur to other pregnant woman who haven't had loss that loss can happen, or at least they ont show it... and im not meaning to sound horrible, i wouldnt wish a mc on anyone, what i would wish is to feel that kind of excitement about my baby without knowing something could happen.

    well thats my sad rant for the evening - Looking forward to getting to know all you lovely ladies in time...

    yay blondtress! Such awesome news

    LnD - it's weird isn't it. DH wanted a boy really badly, so finding out we were having a girl was a bit of a shock for him, but I think he's excited now - too bad if he's not!

    Jess, no weird discolouration, just some new stretch marks My Ob said mylanta liquid for the itch can be helpful if moisturiser isn't helping enough. Less drying than calomine apparently. Moisturiser is enough for me at the moment.

    My pelvis/hip was really bad this afternoon, couldn't weight bear again which sucked big time. Poor DS was worried about Mummy and wanted to kiss it better for me He really is very sweet. I'm starting to feel a bit better now, so hopefully I can sleep ok.

    Whoah I haven't posted on here in a while! I need to make more of an effort... sorry ladies!! Some of my persies will be going back a way....

    Clairesmummy - I hope you are having a better time since you posted about being exhausted. Sorry about your GD! Xxx

    Dantri - My DH didn't believe my POAS lines at the time either, despite me telling him it was impossible to get them if not pregnant! Men! Lol. Sounds like you had the same as me with a missed m/c at 12 wk scan. Sorry hun, it's nasty isn't it? I also got an earlier scan this time at 6 weeks. I was also nervous at my 12 week scan this time. I don't think your scan regime is OTT given what you've been through! I also worry about friends who announce before 12 weeks. I also know how you feel about not wanting anyone else to get pregnant before you have a positive 12 week scan! You spend the months after the m/c TTC again and noticing every single pg announcement even more than usual, then when you finally do get another BFP you're so cautious and wary that you still dread other pg announcements until you see a safe 12 wk scan 'just in case' yours doesn't work again. Thinking of you hun xxx

    blondtress - I've just reread all your posts since last being on here. It's been a bit of a journey so far! So glad your bloods have been good and you have a lovely happy heartbeat in there! Did the next scan find out anything about the possible twin/placenta projection? xxx Glad your DH has such good confidence!

    WannabeMum - Hope your Mum's 60th went well! Yay for finishing work! Hope these last few weeks are going well for you. It'll be here soon! How exciting!! Get busy with your setting up!

    Loops - every time I see your name I think of Froot Loops! Lol! Take that in a good way Froot Loops are bright, colourful and sweet! Hope your cramps and everything have settled now. Not long to go before your next scan!

    LysnDan - Do you mind if I ask which hospy you're going to? Just curious after your post about the appointment. So glad bubs is doing well and that you know she's a she! I love her name too Don't worry, my belly keeps playing similar tricks on me too!

    TM - I also worry about preterm labour, but just gotta keep swimming! Sorry about the tummy scare, but glad bubs moved for you afterwards!

    alish - sorry to see you go hun! I hope you are doing well xxx

    angelfish - Oooh what a scare with your DD and the stairs! It can happen so easily though so please don't beat yourself up about it! Glad she is fine

    HPL - I'm sorry you have to be in this thread again *hug* Congrats on your newest pregnancy and don't worry, we don't think badly of you for being in shock about it! xxx

    S&S - I am so sorry for your loss hun I hope everything works out with adoption or that next time you TTC you have better luck xxx I will be praying for you!



    AFM - Plodding along well. Had another antenatal the other day and the HB was 141, nice and strong Bub is still only fluttery, but getting more often. I don't think I'll have proper full on kicks for another few weeks as the placenta is at the front. Just glad everything is going well so far. 24 weeks now Will update more later as persies took a while and DH is impatient to get back on the computer, lol

    Phebee, thanks for reminding me! They still don't know what the extra blob is, they don't seem too worried about it and say it is most likely the placenta or even a spot where the bleeding occurred. I suppose it is all so minute it is hard to tell, hopefully it doesn't give me any problems. My hubby was so relieved it wasn't twins! lol
