Sue... wooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo, congrats on an awesome milestone. I just walked in the door from a function and rushed straight to the computer to find out how you went today. I have been thinking about you all afternoon. How exciting to see such a glorious and strong heartbeat. Lets hope you have another at 12 weeks and every appointment after that until you hold that beautiful bub in your arms.
Tildy... glad you are home safe and sounding much more relaxed. Here's hoping you get good news Friday that it is just the heamotoma. What a nightmare run you've had.
Jo... thinking of you tomorrow. Re the death certificate, we were told if you have a birth certificate you have to have a death certificate. I'm sure if you call birth deaths and marriages there would be one there. I'm a bit hazy on the details but I think I recall them asking if we wanted a copy and that it was going to cost $30, I guess if we didn't then it would just sit in the registry. A bit like if you need a copy of your birth certificate, you call up and they send it out but you have to pay for it. Anyway, let us know how you get on. As hard as it will be to open it, I am kind of hoping it will give me some kind of closure, if there is such a thing when you lose a child!

Hi Jo - I hope today goes smoothly and you get some answers to your questions. I know it will be tough and exhausting, so take care.
Sue - so happy to read about your excellent scan results. Very excited for you!!!
Hi to all - will be back later. And yes I hope the TTC ladies aren't feeling left out. So good luck and loads of baby dust to you all.
Also to the preg ladies, I think it is about time some of you ventured over to the Preg thread...a couple of the lovely ladies over there encouraged me to do it so I am going to do the same with you. Have no fear though, as you can stay here as well!
Hi girls
I just needed to get in here and hide for a moment! I have just seen a newborn at the shops, couldn't have been more than 2wks old, and I lost it. I haven't done that in public since the stupid chemist asked me why I needed sleeping tablets a week after Cooper was born. I felt so stupid that everyone was watching me with my head in my hands trying to hide it, I just wanted to scream at them all why I was so upset!! It has really shaken me up, still teary now. Wow, I thought this horrible gut wrenching feeling had gone and I was just left with nicer memories of the time I had with him.
I am glad you girls are here, I am feeling very alone right at this point, I even ran into a friend after this incident, I had this little voice screaming inside me saying 'lean on her, she is always there', but I held it together and just chatted like nothing just happened.
Helen - you can lean on us. It must have been awful to feel yourself lose control like that but also a very natural reaction to seeing a new born baby. It is something that we all struggle with and unfortunately there does not seem to be any way to controlling when and how our grief will rear its head. I am also not good at opening up to friends and usually reserve my tears for when I am alone or with DH - and then they flow. I had a big cry last week sitting at the dining table and then once it was over I kept on going. Cooper will always be with you and it is normal to miss him terribly. Have you been to the GP for a blood test yet? Just remember that you have this new little soul growing inside you, and they will bring you enormous amounts of love and comfort.
hi everyone!
will try and write quick as i have to leave mums and take josh to the hairdressers, so if it is filled with mistakes then forgive me!
In short - we have no new news! Nothing showed up but i have been referred to the Head of Obstetrics at monash now and will be seeing him in 2 weeks on the 16th. Apparently he will talk in length about my choices going forward and the OB today said that if i stayed in some care under them they would do all they could from before preg to try and help us have a baby. They have ruled out chromosomal abnormalities, any blood clotting stuff and basically all those big things that we have spoken about have been ruled out. He spoke alot about genetics and broke it down for me into "dumbspeak" but in a respectful way so i could undertstand the medical terminology of it all. He was wonderful about the frustration of it all and i think that was esp good for me aqnd my emotions.
have to go now cos i am gonna run late!
will be later! just wanted to fill you all in a little!
hgirs - i know what it is like - remember i was like that a few days ago with the preggie belly! it is normal but heartbreaking at the same time! I hate that we feel like we have to be straight faced when dealing with others! sending you soooooo many hugs! take care!

hey -
what is more frustrating and heartbreaking? getting no answers from today or going into email now i am home and seeing an email come through with "my pregnancy -30 week" update from baby centre! i have to figure out how to cancel!
Tildy - you poor thing!!!! Hoping all is ok and will be thinking of you on Friday. I am sure all is OK and its just another bleed to make you feel unsure.
Jo - you must be so frustrated in not being able to get any definate answers. Does it mean that when you get pregnant next, you need to be monitored very closely or be in hospital the whole time???
Helen - We are here for you..... it is very understandable that you have all these emotions and sometimes we just want to shut ourselves away, so nothing can upset our feelings. You also could be feeling a little bit more hormonal because you are pregnant and your levels are probably all over the place. Have you seen your Dr yet about a blood test????
Hello to Paula, Cindee, Katiegirl, Lan and Rozzie - hoping everything is going well for you all.
Well with me, I am still on cloud 9 and hoping that it doesnt get taken away from me. Went shopping today and even had a little peak at some baby stuff, but it is way too early for that yet. I am going to buy a nice baby present when I get past the 12 week mark.
