Wonderful results Beata you must be excited to start next month. I think waiting that extra time was a smart move you definately want to start the journey in the best possible position. I know what you mean about time flying we're almost 12 months to when Nikita was born it does go so quickly and yet feels like a lifetime ago.


Teagz - you must be sooooo excited, the 22nd will come around quickly and you will see a beautiful little heart beating away a million miles an hour. Its truely is the most wonderful thing to see after such a horrible ordeal.

DD - great low risk results hun such fantastic news. I am glad its not long before you get the stitch in. TBH I am begining to think I want to get one put in regardless of what the Ob says I just want a healthy full term baby in my arms. We have our 1st specialist visit today and will have our NT scan done so will see what he says about the whole thing.

Jas Yay for your scan too - so wonderful. The BB due date group is in the Pregnancy/labour section I will see if I can pm you the link x will be great to have you in there it will be nice to share a journey with someone who has been through the same type thing.

Berry - how are you going lovie?

Samcougar and Mummabec I am so very sorry you have found yourselves in this forum. Its a horrible thing for someone to experience and no doubt there will be many hard days ahead. I can honestly say that over time the hard days do get fewer and further between but there will always be days when the pain will surface. Please just take each day as it comes, the good the bad and the ugly. There is no right or wrong way to feel at any point.
You both have made it into a place full of love and understanding support. It is a lovely open place to speak about your little angels and a wonderful place to off load anything pent up.
My love to you both.

Dee81 - I am sooooo jealous I LURVE crabs and prawns oh soo much. Had to laugh though because ages ago my dad was telling a story of how he went fishing and caught crabs - a fairly innocent thing to say but we all had a great giggle over the catch crabs (think of the rude kind) - trust us to have our minds int he gutter

AFM I have my specialist appointment today which will include my 12 week NT scan. I am pretty excited. I have invited my MIL to come along I think it will be a wonderful experience for her. I also have my Ob appointment straight afterwards which I will need to address a few things. I noticed on the sheet the MW fills in that I had protein in my urine last time so I want to know what can be done about that, also I want to remind him that we talked about me having a blood test to see if I have that clotting thing with my blood. I am trying to remain calm about everything but I also don't want anything to be overlooked. I trust my Ob but I also need to ensure we do everything to keep this bub grounded in its womb for another 190 days

Other than that and the 4 earthquakes we've had since friday I am well, fairly relaxed just very tired so resting as much as I can at every opportunity. I have sprung a bump its not big but its pretty obvious that I am pregnant now. I am hiding from most friends and family as we want to wait at least until 20 - 25 weeks if possible before we share the news ... that is DH wants to wait that long incase something happens again.

Not long before Nikitas 1st birthday will be here, I have been feeling pretty blue about that and mothers day but I have decided on her birthday I will cook a roast for tea (its the special dinner thing) and I have also decided to buy myself an ID bracelet and have her name and birthday engraved on it then every year for her birthday I buy a number charm and add it to the bracelet.

Its odd really being pregnant and coming up to these dates, I feel so sad but then feel bad because I don't want those feelings to impact on my new little one. I do feel like Nikita is watching over him/her and I have felt sometimes like there are angel wings hugging me. I have started having a few nightmares, just re living what happened with Niki but I am sure thats just part of the process.

Anyhoo I have blabbed in here enough.

Much love to all
