3rd Time Lucky Club

Hello ladies :) I got a call from my midwife with my combined test result and the good news that I'm low risk at 1:6354 so I'm very happy with that :D no more testing for me! I now have my 16 week mw appt in mid feb (will ring next week to book a date) and she'll do the heartbeat and results of all my bloods. Then it's 6 weeks on Friday til my 20 week scan, when hopefully we'll be finding out what flavour pip is ;)

Symptoms wise I'm feeling a bit better tonight. Even got hungry early.....ok so it was thinking about a burger king, but I haven't felt hungry for anything for ages! I had the same craving the other week but I still haven't had one ;) none local so :shrug:

So how's everyone doing? Any important events scheduled for this week?
 
great result Poshie!! thats another hurdle done and dusted ;-)

No news here, no big week for me! Tell you what though, other than still gagging at the bin and recycling bin smells :-), being VERY tired and never going for a number 2.....i dont feel prego anymore!! I get occasional stretches in my tummy, and pulls when i cough, but i dont have that sore boobs/nausea anymore. Its a bit of a lull really, not that keen as it not very reassuring!! I hear LOs HB on the doppler at a nice healthy 157-160bpm so im not worried, just wondering if its normal?? How you feeling Poshie?? your same dates as me

Hope all are feeling well?? anything else to report?x
 
I'm to scared to try a doppler myself.....I'd stress myself out big time if I couldn't find a heartbeat and spend the whole time worrying! Having said that, I sometimes don't feel like I'm pregnant now as symptoms are easing, so that's a bit stressful too ;) I'm still not quite back to normal but I am better than I was. Wednesdays seem to be the worst day of the week for feeling ill, so I'll see how I feel tomorrow!

I'd say I'm getting more tummy feelings going on than ever. It's pretty much every day that I'll get pulling, stretchy, type things going on now.

Do your work know your pg yet BL? Mine don't but I'm going to have to say something at some point soon to be fair to them.
 
Hey everyone,

Hope your well, I'm fine in a kind of "what was that, ouch, no wait...wind." sort of way! The nearer it gets to when I lost Edan the more of a wreck I become, but I figure that there is no point getting a private scan at that stage - better to save the money for something beautiful for bubs. See, trying to be positive?!

Love and :hugs:
-x-
 
yeah Poshie work know now, thought it fair really, so they can look into mat cover for me. Ill ask my MW how much stretching I should get when i see her next week. THe worst stretch is when i sneeze!!! ouch!

Drazic, good on you!! glad to see your keeping positive ;-) xxxx
 
Good girl Drazic, PMA is the way forward! ;)

So will your work need to get hire someone in to do your work? I'm not sure what they will do for mine. They may distribute it out between other people here, but I'm not sure.....I need to tell them soon really.
 
yeah work get a bank nurse in to cover my job....even though Im not a nurse, im still clinically field based so to speak. Sell in operating theatres...I work for Johnson & Johnson.........free baby products coming my way ;-)

hey re bump bands Poshie, get yourself onto ebay!! there are loads on there about £5, I got a few black ones for work.....they are perfect and cover up a multitude of chubby looking bumps!! my waist is just big now, not really a bump yet, except when i wear a swimming cozzie!!!

its weird putting on weight, i went on a massive diet and lost 2 stone to get down to a slim 10....now im in size 12s in just 15 weeks!!! went on a website though today that calculates the weight gain you should have during pregnancy, it said my weight gain so far was spot on! ;-) x
 
Hi ladies!
Glad to see you are still going (as a group I mean, not literally!!).

Can I join you? There are a few of us in pregnancy loss who are all hoping for third time lucky.

Little tiny history - me, dh, 31. TTC since May 08. Finally managed to get pregnant after 1 cycles last year but lost our beautiful little boy at 22 weeks. I was happily pregnant again in December, this time after just 2 months TTC (phew!) but that was all over very quickly - a chemical at just over 5 weeks. That brings us to now. I managed to conceive immediately after my early miscarriage and I'm now about 6 weeks. I had a scan Tuesday (only external) but it just showed a "gestational sack", no bubs yet. I have another scan in 2 weeks, so just praying that that little sack won't be empty again then and we'll see a heartbeat.

It's reallly scary when you know how much can go wrong at any stage, but I want to try to just relax about it all (easier said than done of course!!).

Glad to hear you are all doing well. :hugs:
 
Welcome Lol. Funnily enough, I just posted in your journal and said do come over here. You will find all the girls here are very friendly and can totally sympathise with what you are going through. Different girls are at different stages, we have a good range. I'm pleased to say we are all doing well and will be here to listen to your trials and tribulations along the journey :hugs:

BL - Thanks for the advice re bump bands. I will defo check out ebay ;)

Haven't heard from Omi for a while, hope all okay with you?
 
hey ladies.

wow, i cant believe i am 38 weeks on sunday! :yipee:
 
Hello and welcome Lol78.

Glad that everything is going well for everyone. Well, Samzi they say the birth should fall 2 weeks before or after the due date so it is getting to any time now for you! :thumbup:

Sorry I have not been on in while, my husband decided to switch to mobile broadband and although the dongle is mobile the broadband barely connects! It always seem to work for him and when I use it it keeps disconnecting. :growlmad: I am doing ok, I was really worried about two days ago because I did not feel him move all day though. I managed not to worry too much but he really gets going about 5-6pm and I had still not felt him hours later so began to panic and and was getting more and more ready to call someone but at 10:30pm I felt a tiny kick and then a few more after that. Since then he seems to to be kicking but not as strong so I can feel him moving but not see limbs poking an inch out anymore and I keep wondering if he has changed position or something. Today a woman with a newborn baby was walking into the toilets while we was out for lunch and she said "this will be you soon!" and made my day! I have felt more overweight than pregnant but she could tell it was a bump and made me feel so much better. Plus, I got some bigger bra's today which are far more comfortable and and booked myself in for a hair cut on Monday. :happydance: I have felt so gross recently, my hair is greasy, my skin is too dry, my belly is big and my breasts are uncomfortable and leaking all the time so I am hoping getting my hair cut and colored will make me feel a bit more normal again.
 
hi all,

Welcome Lol78....heres to 3rd time lucky for you!!

Oh Omi, a trip to the hairdressers always makes us feel better! it does me anyway...once my roots are done I feel a brighter person!!

Samzi, the clock is ticking big time now, bet you are soooooo excited!

Hows everyone anyway...other than leaking boobs? ;-) xx

All fine here, its real limbo time isnt it 14 weeks stage?...I dont feel or look prego, sickness has gone and now im just waiting for my bump to appear overnight ;-) i have a tubbie roll kind of thing at the mo, no waist either anymore which looks strange! I have my 15 week appt with MW next week, so im looking forward to feeling it all be "real" then!!

Im not sure, but i have been having these little "slug flutter" feelings in my lower tummy every so often, im wondering if its the first movement feeling...or just trapped wind (prob the latter LOL), but its still a bit early to feel motion I guess.

Oh well, Friday night is here at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx
 
I sure am, i cant wait :happydance:

had the mw today and it went fine as usual, baby is 3/5's engaged now so on the right track!
 
BL, I felt little flutters at 13+1 and would say that you can probably tell that it is not wind if you have never had a feeling quite like it before (after all we all have had trapped wind at some point before). I know what you mean about feeling in limbo at 14 weeks, I feel like it now at 25 too, I think the few weeks when you change trimester feel weired for most people.

Samzi, I'm glad to hear you had a good appointment. I already can not wait until my due date gets close! Lol.
 
Hi everyone!
I'm so glad I have this place I can write a few things down. I just can't bring myself to make a journal yet and I can't keep posting in LTTTC - it's not fair. So, I'm feeling quite sick and tired today :D. Not as much as last time, but then I'm less than 7 weeks, so I won't go wishing for sickness too much - I hated it last time!!

It's so nice to hear how everyone is getting on all at different stages.
Beachlover - I remember that stage, it's quite worrying isn't it?! I remember being really glad to go to midwife appointment at 16 weeks and listening to heartbeat because I didn't really feel pregnant at that stage.

Samzi, I'm so excited for you. It actually made me cry when I read that your little one is 3/5 engaged (I'm kind of emotional right now!!), It sounds really stupid I guess, but it's just the thought of getting to that stage and hearing everything is on track and going well, it's fantastic.

Omiomen - It's great when people "recognise" your bump isn't it?! I can't wait to have a proper bump again.

Poshie - hey hun, so glad I can join you. Glad to hear it's all going well.

My tummy is popping already. I have just come back from an all inclusive holiday but seriously, my tummy is already looking pregnant. I was about 12 weeks last time it was like this. Oh please, please, please let me get there. I so badly want this baby.

When I went for my scan the other day, there was a woman going into the labour ward - the receptionist asked if she was a birth partner and she said yes. I was so jealous that someone was giving birth at that time to what I assume was a healthy baby. I was really upset (stupid, but like I say, I'm emotional!). Dh said to me, you'll be there soon. I just don't know if I can believe it. I'm just so scared and can't see it happening for me. I soooo hope it does.
 
Hi ladies....Can I join your group? Just found out today I am pregnant again and I am praying the 3rd time is a charm. I am very early- AF is not even due yet (I don't think- my cycles have been so messed up since my last loss!)
How do you ever not stress out when it's happened to you twice before???? Anyone have any good advice???

I'm still trying to work that one out too! Let me know if you ever find out. Here's to a happy and healthy 9 months for you.
