2016 May Miracles

[Kitteh_Kat]

I hope you had a good holiday, Alea

Welcome, Crystal!

Yeah, I remember two of the earlier May threads (including what I think was the first attempt at a May group at the very beginning) were closed because the OP miscarried, and there were other losses in the thread this one originated from. I've also seen at least one or two other May losses for women that haven't posted in the group elsewhere on the board.

Alea Thinking of you!!

 

[pinkpassion]

Well upward and onward, it's all any of us can do... support for all no matter what stage your in

I'm still getting off and on nausea and tmi but having off and on diarrhea... anyone else??

 

[Alea]

A big smile for the May Mummies, love Maisie Moo.

 

[pinkpassion]

O.my.goodness... how ADORABLE!!!!! Thank you for that!!!!

Thank you all for such a wonderful welcome. Everyone seems very supportive here.

Busy, I'm fine with being on the front page. Thank you for being so sensitive. I know you have experienced a couple losses as well and I'm so happy you have decided to continue in the group. I think most people would find that very hard.

I'm so so sorry for all the ladies who have experienced a loss on this thread. It is heartbreaking no matter what stage it happens.

AFM, if I pass the 12 week scan we start a plan for me as we still don't have a definitive cause for my loss last year. Infection or IC, they can't know for sure. So I will most likely have lots of ultrasounds after 12 weeks.

 

[pinkpassion]

Crystal I'm sorry for your loss!! I hope all the scans are reassuring!!!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

I also thought about the fact that the two May threads before this were started by women who, sadly, miscarried. What are the odds?

Alea, what a beauty!

As for me, feeling flutters every day now, so it sure is nice to have that reassurance so early!

 

[AdriansMama]

Had my 12 week scan today baby measured 12+1 everything was perfect and we had a wiggy little nugget

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Alea, she is just precious! Thank you for sharing

pink - nausea went away for me, but I still feel like I got hit by a semi truck and taking naps every day with DD. I've been too tired to put on real clothes today!

crystal - that's good that you'll get all the additional scans, hopefully that helps reassure you

AdriansMama - look at that little baby! Such a great scan! Have you sent it in to the Gender Experts yet to see if it's the same as the earlier prediction?

 

[AdriansMama]

I did �� I'm not paying for this one though because I have another scan next Friday I'll pay to rush that one

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Arg! I hope they don't take the full 7 days to get back to you!

I'm debating paying another $50 for another private scan next week; would love to see if they still predict girl. Especially since I didn't get any pictures from the scan yesterday!

 

[bakerh518]

Been away a bit as we were without internet! But were back in business now!

3 more sleeps for our next scan!!! EK! Cant wait!


I was so sad to come back and see more loses So sorry ladies


Such a great scan! Love when the little scan starts to look like a real baby

 

[pinkpassion]

Adriansmama congrats such a lovely little one in there!!!!

I definitely spoke too soon about the nausea.. but it's definitely getting better!! My headaches are still strong.

I can't wait to start feeling this little baby move!! That's one of my favorite parts!!!

Ladies, I have 100% decided on a VBAC.. I have spent the last 3 days pouring over information on the web, both good and bad and I am sure my body can do it!! I need to stay in shape this time (with dd I was scared to move haha , I literally did no exercise ) so I'm going to exercise, watch my weight and the foods I consume , and I'm going to go to the chiropractor regularly for my pelvis. I'm also going to start red raspberry leaf tea and epo with my perineal massage. I will ready this baby for a good position and my body and not try to rush labor like I did with dd! I know when my body is ready and baby is ready it will happen. I'm so excited and so glad my dr has kind of nudged me towards at least considering a vbac , she's very pro vbac and I was scared of what happened last time (different dr) . But after my dr looked at my medical records she reassured me that the failure to descend with my dd was most likely due to malpositioning and that's usually caused by baby not being ready, which I know I pushed my body into labor too soon. Several stretch and sweeps and my water broke without labor starting because my old ob did a stretch and told me my membranes were coming through my cervix and if I went home and strained a bit my water would break (wish I'd never listened to her) because that is exactly what happened!

Anyway sorry for the essay. I'm just excited!!!!

 

[bakerh518]

Yea!! I'm gonna be a vbac too!!

What is the raspberry tea for?? I was told no raspberry tea due to it causing uterine contractions

 

[pinkpassion]

Baker, I used it in 3rd tri with no issues with dd. It's recommended after like 30 weeks? It helps tone the uterine wall and helps to supposedly shorten labor!

 

[N8ie]

Adriasmom- beautiful, I'm excited about my 12 week scan and it's only in 3 weeks time.

Pink- I'm also suffering from headaches and exhaustion. What's vbac, if you don't mind me asking.

 

[Ganton]

Pink, I'm getting really bad headaches too. I think it's actually the headache that's making me feel so light headed and sick. I remember feeling tired and nauseous with my other 2 but not the headaches. I hope they end soon.

Congrats on the scan, Adriansmama. It's so lovely to see the little one wriggling around.

 

[pinkpassion]

N8ie, VBAC is vaginal birth after cesarean section!

 

[pinkpassion]

Ganton you're almost out of first tri so hopefully yours ends soon. I want to say with dd they ended around 14 weeks!
