Femmes Fetales - (PAL) Holding onto Hope 9 months and on...

[Beanwood]

Hi all

Shell - I hope that you are ok. Due dates, anniversarys are going to be hard. It was my due date (ish) a couple of weeks ago. I felt selfish feeling upset and wondering what if, but this doesn't take away the pain that we felt. A pain that I will never forget. I agree - I relive the day that we found out we had mc.

Grand - lovely little outfit. Hope that you are well.
Amber - thanks hun - my symptoms are so similar to my 2 boys - maybe I have another boy onboard.

AFM - had midwife appointment today. I can't get a dating scan until 31st May - was abit upset as I will be 141/2 weeks by that point. Anyway she tried to find hb to reassure me, which she found almost straightaway - so that has helped.

Hi to everybody else, hope that you are all good. XX

Hey Amber - congrats on staying in control of those levels. As for the headaches - not sure what to recommend - are you drinking plenty of water?

Shell - have just read back and must apologise if it sounded like I ignored your post about your due date coming up. It doesn't "put a downer" at all as I'm sure we all understand perfectly well. My due dates are burnt into my memory and I'm sure I'll always ahve a cry on those days and go to visit my little ones where they rest together. I light candles for them with my daughter every time I go to church. Our missing babies will always be with us in our hearts I believe and you have every right to be feeling like you do.

I've got to go as having a bit of a funny turn and think I need to eat something...

Imp--so glad your weekend went so wonderfully! That is awesome! I hear you on missing the occasional celebratory/holiday drink--I wanted a Mint Julip so bad this weekend for the Kentucky Derby, but settled for decaf tea instead! And you are right, it is all for a good cause!

Bean--oh, maybe you are fixing for another little man in your life! Sorry to hear that they made your scan so late, I hope they can get you one sooner! If not, you can be scan buddies with me and milos on the 31st!


Chilli--hope you got some food in you and it helped! Thanks for the kind words about my levels--I am really trying very hard! I am not sure about the headaches, I do try to drink a lot of fluids, but I have to admit that some days I am better at it than others (water seems to make my stomach upset, which is wierd!). I also thought it may be due to my blood pressure, but these are not the same type of headaches I get when my BP is off. If they persist or come back, I may try to get in to see the doctor a bit earlier as my next appt is not until the 26th.

SamB--lol, We will have to get Grand to send her a letter so we get some royalties off of those album sales!!

Ahh my lovely FF ladies!! Thank you so much for all the well wishes for yesterday, it was wonderful and I am still beaming from ear to ear!!

We had a great appt, on time, baby was in a good position (mostly) and we were done in about 15 mins! the sonographer was great, talked us through everything she was looking and all measurements etc were fab so I am very very happy!! at the end she had a look for us and said she's 85% sure its a..................................GIRL!!! So I am TEAM PINK! woohooo!! Really happy, very excited and just over the moon my little tinker(bell) is growing so well, I feel like a proud mum.

She said she saw no evidence at all that it was a boy and she showed us the three lines which indicate female genitals but she said they can never be 100% about it, its good enough for us though. Now to start thinking of names!! Yippeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Hope everyone is well, so many ladies in double digit weeks now, its wonderful, congrats to our lovely group of Femme Fetales!! xxx

 

[angelashope]

aww Kizzy thats is specttacular and congrats to everyone else as well! Does anyone have pics to share? I had my 13 week u/s on friday and I had a grumpy old man who woud not tell us anything-at one point he showed us the heart at my DH asked if it was beating strong and he said youll have to wait till the dr gets the report which of course sent me into a tail spin. I was going for bloods after and he sent a form so I randomly wrote down all of his measurements some of which I didnt even know what they meant-I goggled them all and everything came back normal so am telling myself that means the hb is normal too or wouldnt be growing so well-I just wanted to share in case anyone else has a similiar experience -write down the numbers-they are fun to investigate!

 

[kizzyt]

Ahh Angelas, that's not a nice experience, its so annoying that outside factors can ruin special times! I am glad you researched yourself though and found out that all was good. I love seeing the heartbeat, its sooo lovely, we have fab little strong babies in us, yippeeeee!!

I have a pic, its not very clear on my phone and I am being a dunce and cant remember how to upload (well actually I can remember that, I just cant save it from email!) BABY BRAIN!!!

 

[kizzyt]

Here she is!

 

[IMPPEARL]

Thanks Everyone! I've been feeling good, just a little tired by the end of the day. But for the most part no more m/s. I have an appt on friday and I think my dr will try to listen to the heart beat this time. As long as I get to hare it and everything is good we will be opening up our news to everyone. As of now its just our families and my best friend who knows.

Kizzyt - Congrats on Tream Pink sooo exciting! I can't wait to find out what we are having. Our scan is Jun 29th.
