Sorry I don't know why my photos show up on the side and upside down!! :/

Congratulations Lala!! I am so happy for you! I am sorry to hear of your loss and I really hope everything goes to plan with this little one. Keep us updated. Awesome pic of Bethan too!

I am a little envious I didn't realise how broody I was until some of my friends I was pregnant with last year have just got pregnant with their second. I think we'll be TTC from January

Grenouille - Xavier is absolutely gorgeous!

 

[LalaR]

Thanks grenouille and Leliana. We are being quite cautious just now but hoping that it all works out. I'm 37 now so feel I'm running out of time a bit. Good luck when you start ttc again.
Your little boy is gorgeous grenouille, even sideways or upside down!!!

Hi ladies, its lovely to see that everyone is doing well and such beautiful baby pics.
I was also on this part of the forum. I cant believe that Emelia is going to be 11 months this week and 1 next month , its crazy how fast time has went.
Im also pregnant again. So far so good things are going great and had several scans. I am so ill and tired this time around though and I think its taking care of an active baby which makes it harder. I get a bit worried at times though thinking about how hard it might be having two babies so young but we did want a close age gap.

Lala, congrats to you aswell. Im sorry that you suffered another loss but fingers crossed this is a good one for you.

Here is a little pic of Emelia sitting in her new car seat trying it out. We have landed lucky with such a good baby, she has a brilliant nature, great sleeper etc. I just really hope this next baby is the same. People say you never get two the same haha

Congrats Justkeeptrying!! I hope things will get easier when you are in your 2nd trimester. I sure don't look forward to that 1st three months when I don't want to tell people but I'll probably be super tired and feeling sick while taking care of a small kid and working full time!

Emelia is sooo cute!!

 

[LalaR]

Congratulations justkeeptrying!! Brilliant news. Emilia is gorgeous. I hope that you start to feel better soon and that emilia keeps behaving for you. xx

 

[Leliana]

Congratulations Justkeeptryin! I am so happy for you! Emilia is so beautiful

I really think the TTC Gods are trying to tell me something - all these ladies I went through the journey with last time are getting pregnant again. So broody!!!

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Leliana, that's exactly how I felt aswell when I was seeing others fall pregnant, it made me so broody again. Hopefully, it will happen for you aswell.

 

[Leliana]

Hubby says we can start at Christmas! So not long really! A little part of me is scared and worried and the other part is so excited to do it all over again Really looking forward to hearing updates from you ladies

 

[LalaR]

Yay Leliana!! Good luck. I hope you get pregnant really easily this time.

I'm 5 weeks exactly today and feeling really nauseous. We have decided to go to a private scan clinic again for an early scan to reassure. It only costs £35 for 1 scan or £48 for an early scan and another with pictures and video at 13 weeks. I think it will be well worth it to put my mind at ease. Hoping to get the first appointment 2 weeks today as my hubby is off that day. Just got to figure out what to do with bethan as she can't come to the clinic and no-one else knows I'm expecting.

Exciting times!!! xx

Lala, are you not entitled to early scans on NHS because of your history? are you not under the care of a miscarriage clinic etc?

It amazes me how people get different treatment. I know Im very lucky as Im back under the care of EPAS at my maternity hospital. As soon as I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks I phoned them up and they put me on the same treatment as last time..clexane, progesterone and low dose aspirin. They have given me a scan at 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks so far. they also have me booked in for another next week at 11+5 and then my dating scan the following week. I didn't even have to ask for any of them.

I just think that it is so wrong that your having to pay privately for an early reassurance scan. I know its not that much money but I think you should be automatically entitled to an early scan.
Sorry, Im not having a rant at you, just the system. I can see from your history that you've had 4 losses unfortunately so you should be entitled to what Im getting. I have had two losses in comparison. Just when I see that your also in Scotland.
I cant speak highly enough of my hospital staff and care.

Anyway, it is exciting for you to go for that scan. That's also the problem that I have with getting someone to look after Emelia, Im having to tell so many white lies to grandparents as they don't yet know Im pregnant either.

 

[LalaR]

I know it sucks!! I got an early scan last time but the rules here say that they only give epac scans out if you have had 3 consecutive miscarriages immediately prior to the current pregnancy. Having Beth has put me back to the start again. That's a brilliant service you are getting!! It must be exciting to see things develop week by week.
I've just been trying to get into my gp as I have horrible crampy pains and low back ache. I think it's a urine infection. No luck with an appointment but I've left a sample and need to go back and ask the receptionist after 3h for the result!! I think there is a conspiracy preventing me from seeing someone about everything. Oh well, back to work!!

 

[Justkeeptryin]

That is crazy isn't it, that you've got to have 3 consecutive miscarriages before you get an early scan. An early scan can provide a lot of reassurance which in turn can reduce anxiety and stress. Oh well at least you are able to go privately.
You will know what is normal for yourself and it may well be a urine infection. But for me I always get cramping and backache in pregnancy and I think its implantation.
I hope you get a phonecall back.

 

[grenouille]

Hello ladies! How are you? I know it's been a long time, but I'm so excited I had to share. It looks like I'm going to start using these forums again. I just learned that I'm pregnant!

Since I stopped breastfeeding my periods were irregular. We had been TTC but I honestly didn't think it would work right away. Today it's been 40 days since my last period and I took all this time to realize that I might be pregnant after all! Took 2 tests this morning and they came back positive! How am I going to keep this a secret now...!?

 

[LalaR]

Congratulations grenouille!! Fantastic news.

How is little xavier doing? It will be lovely for him to have a little brother or sister.

I'm now 23+4 weeks and starting to get excited about meeting our little baby boy. Bethan is such good fun at the moment. She started walking last week and is so cute toddling about.

Hope everyone else is well. Xx

Congrats ladies on your pregnancies )) I got a BFP the week before Christmas but sadly had MC last month but I'm sure it will happen again soon. There is not as much pressure this time round as I have my beautiful boy

It's so crazy how quickly they have grown! They are like proper little people now with characters of their own!

Xxx

Congrats on the new prenancies Ladies! So exciting! I am pregnant as well, Due October 16th, and I am so excited for this new babe! Raif is walking and understanding so much right now...It will be fun with them both around!

 

[grenouille]

Thanks everyone I still can’t believe I’m pregnant. When I found out with Xavier (and even with my 2 MCs before that), it’s all I could think about. Now I just spent the day at my parents and it wasn’t that hard keeping the secret because I keep forgetting myself! Xavier helps, he’s keeping me busy…

I’m excited but cautious since I’ve had 2 MCs in the past. I’m so sorry about your MC Kate. But as you say, I’m sure it will happen again soon. It’s so reassuring to have a healthy baby and I was so lucky that my last pregnancy was perfect. I just wish I could be super excited about this new baby but I feel like I can’t really get attached to it yet. But in a way now I feel a bit better about the 2 MCs I had before Xavier, because I love him so much. Of course I would probably have loved those lost babies just as much, but I can’t imagine not having him in my life, so I guess it all happened for a reason (even though I used to hate people saying that).

Congrats Krippy! That’s so funny, I’m due Oct. 14th We are due around the same time again.

Xavier is doing really well. He’s also walking right now. It’s so fascinating to see his personality develop everyday! He’s absolutely obsessed with horses and tractors. We don’t even have horses or tractors and it’s not a particular interest for either my partner and I… I have no idea where that comes from. I just think it’s so funny that he already has such developed interests. Maybe a future farmer
