February Valentines 2012 - We have our first Valentines!

[swanxxsong]

Aw, Jokerette. I'm so glad I'm not alone. I keep fearing I'm just overly neurotic (well okay, I am anyway haha) with my concerns. But it's just scary sometimes.

I don't believe they're very common - my sister keeps reminding me that they may seem more common on the boards because women who go through that tend to come to the boards for support. Which does make sense, when I consider that aspect of it. If I went through such a tragedy, I'd look for a support group for such. I've also read that people are more aware of them happening now, as more women get early scans than in past decades. Which also makes sense, when I consider that aspect of it. My mom never had a sonogram or anything.

I keep telling myself that statisically, seeing a heartbeat and healthy baby at 9 weeks means my chances dropped to 3%, and that I only have a few days until I get confirmation of things being as they are. But I guess I keep stumbling across all these threads about MMCs, I'm stressing myself out more than necessary. Sure, the chance always exists, but I need to accept that and ride it out, rather than expect the worst always.

I love the forums but sometimes they set me into such a panic! lol.

Im sure everything is fine girls it can be hard, for sure, but we are all here to support one another

That's why I adore this group. I feel like I can pour out any of my fears and I have a strong group of ladies who'll support me, even if I feel like I'm just being a nutcase again.

I totally agree and I love it for the same reasons! All the people in my life (besides the pregnant ones) are sick of talking about every little thing. How did people do it before the internet!?! LOL

I wonder this too! Sure, my mom always says, "Well the Internet has freaked you out plenty." Okay, yes, that's true. But it's also helped me so much! It's bittersweet, but I'd be paranoid anyway, so I'd much rather have a support group like this than not at all.

Ultrasound went well this morning! It was so amazing to see LO wriggling around and to finally see a heartbeat (we haven't heard it yet, but seeing it on screen is lovely). I'm going to post my own thread celebrating once I get home, but I wanted to share the pic here first! It's an iPhone photo of me holding the print, so I'm sorry that it's fuzzy!

Hi MrsM17...welcome!

I had morning sickness bad a couple of weeks ago, but my symptoms are going away. No complaints here. As long as I see my bump forming, I know all is good

 

[mrsraggle]

Welcome and congratulations, Goldeen and MrsM17!

I've got a feeling your bubs is a little boy.

Julia323 - what a precious scan!

 

[bebedreamr]

Its normal for symptoms to taper off! My midwife said especially at week 14, its a major turn around!
Its nice to find ladies who are due around my due date! I am predicted to be February 11, 2 days after my brother's birthday. He is especially excited!
This is my OH and my 1st, we are excited... in fact, I think my OH is more excited than I am! haha. Last night after our friends and their 2 year old son left, he kind of giggled and touched my stomach and said to me "I can't wait for our baby!". He is such a positive person, that when I tell him my worries he really helps calm me down.
I have ALWAYS wanted to be a mom, so I am THRILLED. I love children!
As for symptoms, I get sick about once a week, have these gigantic whale boobs that feel like they have rocks in them, and am just really tired. Ive been eating badly but not gained weight yet, so I am going to a dietician to get some dietary advice so I don't gain a million pounds....

What is everyone looking forward to the most about being parents?

 

[Guppy051708]

Beautiful baby Julia
it amazed me how quickly they change week to week

 

[Natasha2605]
