Good morning Ladies,

Hoping you are all well.

Katie - I am still so excited about the arrival of baby Anna. So looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Laney - I am so scared of ultrasounds also. Each time for one of my losses, this is how it is found. But I am getting better. For my next scan on 19 Dec, the day before I see my Ob and I will make sure he uses the doppler machine to check for heartbeat and then I am sure I will feel better after that. Do something special on the 5th, go spoil yourselves for Parkers EDD.

Helen - Good luck for your scan on Monday. Look forward to hearing your exciting news. With IVF, it could be, but I am guessing is that they may have over stimulated her overies and she is producing too many eggs and need to stop the process as this could be quite dangerous. This never happened to me, but I have heard of others that this has happened to.

buliej - Even though you arent TTC at the moment, you are still welcome to join us and ask any questions. Good Luck with your weight loss and acupuncture.

Rozzie - Great to hear that bubba is kicking. 22 weeks - how that has flown, but it is understandable that you are feeling nervous, just take it a day at a time and try to keep busy and spoil yourself.

Hammi - an absolutely gorgeous picture of Hamish. I totally loved the idea and think it is a beautiful reminder of your little boy.

Paula - Good luck in TTC and also weight loss. I have put on so much weight from being on clomid, IVF etc and it is a real concern for me, now being pregnant. But luckily I don't seem to be putting on a huge amount of weight and the Ob doesnt seem concerned. Now with the special GD diet, I probably will put on the minimum.

Tildy - I would love to buy a doppler, but am so scared to. Though I am lucky that my GP says to come in any time I need reassurance. GD - well I knew I was going to get it, but I didnt think so soon. Though my Ob yesterday said it was good they have picked it up so early and that I can start looking after myself now. I am also midly obese, but also have PCOS with Insulin Resistance (which doesnt help). How is the sinus and yeast infection going??? you poor thing....

Diana - Welcome to the TTC thread - I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Sebastian, I wish you all the best in your TTC Journey. I have been on clomid also, but I did ovulate pretty regular every month, but my FS was trying to give me a better chance of pregnancy (unfortunately didnt work), but it did bring me to ovulate earlier..

Well with me, I went to the Ob yesterday and all is still going well. Didnt have a ultrasound, but he did use the doppler and said the baby was kicking away and could hear the heartbeat (which made me feel better, especially after stickybabys story).

I also found out at work, that I get 8 weeks paid maternity leave which is an added bonus. I have worked at the same company for over 23 years, so I am hoping that they will be nice and flexible for me.

Sorry for the long posting, and hoping everyone is well.
