Treasure moments like these..

Six months ago, to the day, I went to my 12 week U/S (first pregnancy) and found that our little munchkin had died sometime in the weeks before..my heart broke..

Today, now 18 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy, I went and had bubs anatomy scan..I found it hard to hold back my fears of what the U/S COULD show as the experience I had back in June is still so fresh in my mind.....but...as we looked upon the screen this morning we saw the most beautiful, lively, special, and precious little creation and I cannot explain the feelings that were in my heart...I couldn't believe (and still can't) that the scan was all normal..fine..everything looked great. I don't think anything could make me more happier right now..it was the best christmas present ever..I never thought a day like this would come.

When things in life are tough, these are the moments that we should think back to.
They don't get much better than this.

Ok, I'm waffling now!

Lee,that is alutely fabulous news,I am really happy for you that everything is going along great.
I totally agree and understand what you are saying as I also had a m/c in June and I am now 26wks pg and everything is fine. My 18 wk scan I was so worried and it was such a relief to see the beating heart and to know everthing was ok.
Have a great christmas

Awww Lee, you should know better than to post something so lovely and sweet in a forum full of pregnant women with raging hormones :crying: LOL

I'm so happy you had such a wonderful experience at the u/s. It is moments like that that remind us how special this time is.

I'm so happy that everything is ok with this pregnancy Lee. That bought me to tears, and I don't even have pregnancy hormones racing around my body!! lol
I hope you have a great Christmas knowing your precious little bundle is thriving.

Hi Lee,

I'm really happy for you! I know what you mean, I had a m/c myself and I was so stressed about all my scans. Though when you see that heartbeat and the bubs moving around in there, it is such a relief and such joy!

Congratulations and enjoy this special time :)

Lee, thank you for sharing your happiness with us. I've got a big smile on my face cause I'm so thrilled for you.

It's just the beginning of those warm and gooey moments... Just wait, the best is yet to come! :)

I remember my first u/s with Mya, i cried as soon as saw her wiggling around. It was the most precious thing i had ever seen. I am fortunate enough to have experienced that feeling twice:D

Good luck & congratulations Lee,there r so many more precious moments waiting for u in the future

Awww thanks guys for all your lovely replys..:hug: Just gorgeous..

Last night, my little munchkin gave me the WORST heartburn...which I thought was just the funniest as there I was so happy and on top of the world, and obviously bub went I'll show you mummy and bring you right back down to earth!!:cryinglaugh:

Thanks again guys:D

What a cheeky bubs giving you heartburn after such a good day! hehe.

Did you find out at the scan?

*hugs* Lee. How wonderful, I'm so happy for you!

Hi Lee,

Congratulations!!! I completely understand where you're coming from and have been feeling very much the same as you!! I had a missed m/c in May, found out at my 10wk scan that bubs had died and it was the worst feeling in the world.

I'm now 20wks and had my 19wk scan last week. Felt the same as you, scared but then sooo wonderfully relieved that all was perfect. It's such a beautiful thing and I treasure this pg every day (even when the heartburn kicks in)!!!

The kicks are just the most wonderful thing - I'm feeling a lot of movement now too, it's great!!

Well congrats and enjoy!!!
