Hi girls,

Just wanted to say hello and see how you all are. Teags, and beata and Berry - hello. Hi to all the newbie's and sorry that you have found your way to this forum. We're all very lucky to have eachother here - it really got me through some bad days talking with you all.

Nae - we're so much alike, its so scary. I'm on dial up as well, and I also had a little bleeding at the 4.5 weeks point. I went to the emergency ward CONVINCED I was losing the baby and had an ultra sound, and yep, everything was "so good, so far". And we're due one day apart!

DD - if I didn't know better I would think you were tapping my phone lines. I have had the same response from my new PB. He believes there was a possibility of infection and or placental bleeding from when I lost Grace. BUT, he hasn't ruled out an incompetent cervix either. I told him that I didn't want to get to the point in this pregnancy where I was in the waiting period (i.e that day by day, are we going to make it) because that was very traumatic. But he has assured me that there is no less success rate in putting a stitch in before the cervix shortens or when it just begins to shorten - (and he is an exceptional (and expensive) high risk and Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist). Sounds like this thing happens more frequently than we realise. Anyhow, I am really sorry for the both of us that this happened but you have something very important to focus on now in this current pregnancy. Give all your loving energy to that little beanie inside you. I hope with every part of my body that this Christmas is the best ever for all of us and our husbands/partners.

AFM - So far, all is good - going in for fortnightly ultrasounds just to put my mind at rest. The worry sets in about two days later - its killing me.The morning sickness seems to be subsiding(ish). I am on Maxalon (a very safe anti nausea tab) and I reckon if I came off it I would know the true brunt of how bad it really is. I did my morning up-chuck this morning and because I feel good now (in the PM) I am getting all worried. It really is hard on the nerves being pregnant after two losses.

I am going to have a lie down now, my biggest hugs go out to everyone. Much love, Jasmine. xxx
