Had my appointment today! Heart rate was in the 170s and they found it fairly fast! I'm not piling on weight like I did last time so that is excellent news (I'm trying a lot harder this time around too on that front). Had some labs done and all in all everything is great. Next appointment is June 21st!
Oh, and we are going to announce this week!
Hello ladies! I am hesitant to introduce myself but, I guess I have to swallow the fear at some point.
Little back story...Last November after a few months of trying, I got a BFP but, that joy was short lived. Our little one didn't have a HB and I sadly had to have a D&C on December 2nd. It took a bit for my period to start again but, it finally returned and we honestly didn't really try but, we also didn't not try lol. I started new medicines at the end of March for some unrelated pregnancy, TTC stuff so when AF didn't show up in April I didn't think twice about it, thinking the new meds may be affecting AF. When May came around and still no AF, me and FH purchased a test yesterday and before I even left the bathroom, there was a blazing BFP on the test.
Obviously this time around we're trying not to get too excited and I know for certain we'll be a little hesitant until we get through the rocky 1st trimester. I ran next door to my doctors today (my OBGYN is literally right next door to my office) to see what the game plan is going to be this time around and for now I have to start a baby aspirin regime and they're trying to get me an appt. ASAP.
We of course did the estimated due date calculator already and it's saying I'm due December 29. I will update that if needed when I finally get in to see my Dr.
I hope to get to know you all better and I hope we're all still here at the end sharing newborn pictures
CountryMomma I'm sooooo happy for you! How incredible considering you were about to get your tubes tied too. H&H 9 months to you and I agree you're always part of this group.
Welcome to all the newbies and congrats on recent scans
Grace - I hear ya on still worrying. I thought I'd be better after my scan, but I still find it hard to believe that things are just going smoothly in there. I had a tiny bit of brown/pink spotting again today so it's made me concerned again. I tell myself it was fine even after I had it for 2.5 weeks, so it's likely fine this time too.

I still worry too. I'm just terrified of a MMC. I'm really annoying myself--I just wish I could relax and think positively. Thankfully my dr is letting me come back for another scan next week just for reassurance. She's so nice. I think after that I'll be comfortable (or as comfortable as I'll ever be) announcing beyond just close friends and family.
a year ago we managed to move house on a Friday, collect a new puppy on Saturday and go back to our usual business on Monday, and DS was fine despite the fact half his things were in boxes, he had a completely new room etc! I am sure a weekend would be fine to get him used to it if the school holidays don't fit in well with moving him.
I will just get everything ready so that if we have to have a last minute change of plan, DS' Santa presents can go wherever he does and be ready for him in the morning. Luckily he loves staying at my mums, so I expect we will drop him off there when the time comes. And she is really in to xmas so I'm sure he will still have fun!
