Congrats on the little boy BabyG!! Little boys are so much fun.
Trixie: Sorry to hear you're ill and you got a BFN. I'm still not writing you off yet though; just look at your chart! You could have implanted late and won't be seeing a BFP for another day or so. I have high hopes for you lady, but I hope you feel better soon!
Bee: I used my doppler for exactly that: reassurance (until it broke in third tri, don't get an angelcare doppler, very flimsy!). It was so nice on her quiet days. Also, in second tri, it's quite common for a baby to turn and start kicking in towards your organs, which you feel less, so it feels like they're not moving, but they are. It's so reassuring to hear them on those days. Yes, for some women they cause anxiety, but as your slim, I think you'd have no problem finding the heartbeat now.
Iris: It's totally normal to fear a BFP after what you went through. I only had chemicals, but I was terrified to have this BFP and what might happen. Going through what you went through, it would be totally understandable to feel scared. We're all here for you no matter what happens.
I really really really hope this is your rainbow on its way.
Smille: Nearly 30 weeks!!! How's everything going? Has time slowed down yet?
I always found time dragged before reaching 10, 20, 30 weeks.
Spent the day in hospital with my pregnant friend. I was on my way to see my oldest friend and her new baby (haven't had a chance to see her and my mum was watching my kids giving me the perfect time to go) when I got a call saying she had been vomiting all night and day and was having cramps. So of course I rushed to get her and take her to hospital. She has MS and has suffered from recurrent miscarriages (she's the one who is pregnant with her third, whose news I struggled with, not because I wasn't happy for her, but because I was sad for me - now it turns out our babies will be close in age, lovely!). Thankfully she's doing okay now, but it was a scary day. I was able to go home at around 3pm when her husband arrived, but spending most of the day in hospital had me feeling anxious (obviously for her, but also, I feel anxious in early pregnancy units - don't know why).
I'm doing okay; it's sinking in now and I'm feeling surprisingly relaxed. It'll be a week since finding out tomorrow. Hard to think it, it's flown by! I haven't got too many symptoms (but then again, I never do get them). I'm very tired, that's for sure. I have a sensitivity to smell and have gone off sweet foods (another reason I think it's another boy - I couldn't get enough fruit and sweets with Isla and now I can't stomach them). My breasts have also doubled in size I swear and every now and then I get a funny taste in my mouth. Generally though, not much going on, but that's normal for me. I'm also a bit early for symptoms. I can't wait to get to 5 weeks (and of course even later). Only being 4 weeks something, makes it feel so scarily early. At least let me get to the next week
