Hi Everyone
Manny congratulations!!!! Your little boy is so gorgeous, you must be so proud. Your birth story sounds like you took it all in your stride! The first baby for this thread!! So exciting, Looking forward to hearing about more little arrivals soon!!!
Bazz, glad you have an appointment. I have two friends who were put on clomid and conceived almost immediately after trying for over a year so fingers crossed for you!
Just back from holiday and our wedding was so amazing!!! Can now finally dedicate time to preparing for our arrival in 10 weeks time (hopefully!)
Hope everyone is doing well.

Ladies.... It's been such a long time since I checked in - and all these developments!! Manny - so many congratulations!! He is gorgeous, u must be so happy. 
Just 6 days now till my due date.... Eek! But a funny few weeks its been - long story (it seems it always is with me!).
So as u know I'd had 2 m/c last yr. since these I'd started on aspirin, and things have gone smoothly. I think I said last time that I'd been asking for bloods to be checked for clotting problems, as if I DID have a problem, and the aspirin is what has helped this time, I wanted to know this for sure, and wanted to discuss whether I needed the heparin injections in late pregnancy. After asking everyone and every opportunity they finally took the blood, and I saw a doc 6 weeks later who said they were normal so far, with one test still being done, and they said I'd hear from them if there was any problem. And I never heard, so assumed all was well.
They'd arranged to see me at 34weeks just to see how everything was going, and at that appt they told me that on this final test there were 2 abnormally low levels, anithrombin and factor s. they assured me that this was not significant and they didn't need to do anything, and I went away quite happy.
As we then do, I had a bit of a read around the subject and found some research and policies from specialist centres (I'm a trained nurse so knew what I was looking for, and could decipher the good stuff and discount the rubbish!) and basically my opinion was that I should be being offered these injections, and the low levels I had we're still leaving me at risk of a late loss (still birth). One piece of research said as high as 1 in 40 chance of loss in final weeks!! So of course I went back to the doctors (my GP was very good and rang throug to the hospital while I was sat with him, and he got me a consultant appt the next working day which was fantastic) and FINALLY they pulled out their own policy and ageed that my levels DID indicate that I needed the injections!
Within 10 mins of this I'd been prescribed the injections, given my first dose, and was sent away with a months supply to do myself everyday!
I was told that because of these drugs (which are to thin my blood slightly), plus the aspirin which I'm also still taking (having previously been told I could stop at 36weeks, but they changed their mind with these developments...) they do not want me to go overdue, and they implied that I'd be admitted for induction of labour on my due date - next Monday. But in the mean time said they'd see me at 39 weeks to make a "plan". Well today is that day, and in a couple of hours I've got my appt and should know what's going to happen next!
I've also got an appt with the haematologist on Thursday. This is a 2 hour appt in a day unit so not 100% sure what they'll do, but hopefully I'll know a bit more abt these blood level after that.
So I've got an action packed few days ahead, and hopefully will have babe in arms by this time next week!!
So... Told u it was a long story. But u know it is such a good job I pushed for those bloods to be taken. If I hadn't we would be none the wiser now, and certainly wouldn't be having these jabs, and those huge risks would still be there. Scary stuff. And not just getting the bloods done, but then actually finding out myself about the results and their implications....
I also found that the levels I have would give a 1 in 6 chance of early loss, which clearly explains our problems last year. So I'm glad we know that too, coz of course we'd have probably faced more of the same problems in the future when thinking about baby number 2....
Anyway, enough of my moaning! Glad to see positive news from you guys, bazz with your appt coming up, and more healthy bumps continuing to grow and develop. And Starry, congratulations on your wedding!! We r coming up to 2 year anniversary. It's such a fantastic time isn't it? Any pics?
Take care all of u, and I promise to update u very soon!! Xxx

Ahhh Mrs well done on the pushing for more tests and answers-I would be EXACTLY the same-and thank God they listened and didn't palm you off. I'm also a trained nurse-albeit Psychiatric, but I do follow up things by having a good read-which does have its drawbacks though at times feeding my anxieties around certain areas! A lady I know has antiphilosophid syndrome and lost a baby to this blood clotting disorder at 8 months...because the medical team said she would need to have had 3 mc to be tested-so only after did she find out her problem. So sad. I worry as until I have my baby in my arms I feel so vulnerable...but I try to see me as not having a blood issue as my mc was a blighted ovum...I asked for the blood tests before getting pregnant with this little one and would have certainly pushed for them but I feel I don't have any reason to...gosh im changing the subject before I start over thinking..!!
One week to go-how exciting!! Are you team yellow Mrs?
Have any of you had your whooping cough vaccine - the one they give during pregnancy? I've had to liaise with paediatricians re my baby having the jab due to a bad reaction my half sister had 50 years ago (she seizured after both vaccines-the third was omitted-and she is brain damaged) -it's been a very difficult time actually-I broke down yesterday as just don't know what to do...but the professional advice is that the vaccine is different now and acellular and so poses very limited side effects. I think I've decided to go with the vaccine but am going privately where they space them out (and further things I wont bore you with here!) Xx

Bazz not long till your app. Hoping that is the start of a new era for you. Any sign of ov or af this cycle?
Mrs wondering if you've had your little one yet? Must be imminent if not already happened.
How are the other preggers ladies doing? Can't wait to hear about more babies being born...
Fms josh takes up all my time. I thought I would be watching Telly and reading books for maternity leave. I was soooo wrong. But he is very precious and I love him more and more every day.

Yes how are you doing Bazz? Mrs?
I'm good ta-although tired the time!
Can I ask-do you think im big for 35 weeks? Im getting a bit worried about having a big baby-im tall and small framed and have eaten loads during pregnancy-not put on any weight, but then I don't think im capable of doing so. OH is big framed and tall too and was a big baby (his mum had a cesarean with him and his sister but thinks this is more due to her small pelvis). People just keep telling me how big im getting and ive still got a while to go-espesh if I go overdue.

Hi Ladies, 1983 I dont think you are too big at all! You have a gorgeous bump!
I keep getting asked if I am having twins, then when I say no they are like your gonna have a huge baby!!! I think its because I am small framed too, our babies have nowhere else to go except outwards! I love my big bump tho! You have stayed so slim too!
Hope everyone else is doing well, can't wait to hear some more baby updates soon.
Hope your appointment goes well on Weds Bazz x

Look at those sweet bumps Starry & 1983!
Manny and Mrs I know you ladies have to be just smitten with your LO's!
Bazz ~ Your appointment is coming up!
I've been busy getting the nursery together and remodeling a bathroom...I believe I've taken nesting to an extreme!
I'm tying up loose ends now...nursery is nearly complete:
