October Rainbow Babies!!!

All well at my scan. Baby wriggling everywhere and was stood on its head so struggled to get measurements and a good pic!! Measuring right on track and don't have to go to liverpool any more all my scans will now be at my local hospital!! Best pic we have below.

Couldn't get a pic to upload so put a link on here.
 
Thanks Debzi- I am sure hopeful that things are not doomed for you! But I understand where you are coming from, ladies in our position always think the sad things as a defense.

Bumpy- Friday will be here before you know it! My weekend went so fast, I wasn't even ready for the scan! LoL! I hadn't mentally prepared yet!
 
Cazi- wonderful pic! So happy for you!
 
Yay Cazi!!! That's a wonderful picture of your LO! So cute!!


AFM - Finally booked my NT testing! In 2 1/2 weeks on April 5th. I'll almost 13 weeks and I can't WAIT to see how much our LO has grown. Just praying everything keeps going well until then. Have an OBGYN appt next week, and I'm praying they can find the heartbeat with the doppler.
 
Wilfbown and Cazi I'm glad your scans went well!! :happydance:

Debzie- Hang in there honey. We're hoping good things for you to come. :hugs:
 
Thanks ladies for the kind words and support.

Cazi great pic and glad all is well.
 
Beth, Cazi, Wilfbown- Great scans ladies! :wohoo: So happy for you!

I'm supposed to have a scan on Thursday when I'm 9 weeks, but I haven't made the appointment yet. Too nervous, keep putting it off. I may have to have hubby call for me.
 
Hey ladies,

So glad to hear of the successful scans Beth, Cazi, Wilfbown - sooo happy for you all!! :happydance:

I've not been on here for a while, so thought i'd update you with the latest as I think I'm the furthest on!

I had my 12 week NT scan on Monday, and all is still going really well with little bean! It was such a huge relief to make it to this week - finally. My previous scans both dated me 2 days behind my LMP due date, but this one put me one day ahead, so somewhere along the line I think he/she's had a growth spurt! :haha:

I measured 12+3 (52.9mm), with a EDD of 28th Sept now, rather than 1st Oct. I'd still like to stay in this thread though, as you never know!

The NT measurement was 1.3 which I believe is good, but I've also had the blood test done, so will find out the results next week - fingers crossed they come back ok.

On Sunday I surprised my Nan & Auntie with the news for Mothers Day - I put a little photo of my 9 week scan in a card I made, and got them to open it at the same time - needless to say lots of tears! They are both like a mum to me, so it was very special.

I also invested in a Sonoline C Doppler last week which was a great buy - really good at keeping me sane - I paid £89.99 for it off ebay - it's got a digital display which shows the waveform of the heartbeat too. I managed to read 165bpm on it - so still high, so maybe it's a girl!?

Anyway I'll stop going on! Here's a pic of my little one :)

Good luck to all those with scans coming up - :hugs: to all and keep strong!!

ahhhhh jennyanne our first 12 week scan! what a lovely little baby!!!!
congrats to you! have you outed yourself now to the rest of your friends and family?

i did something similar on mothers day, put my 8 week scan pic in my mums card and told her that way! after 4 losses i was reluctant to tell her too early and get her hopes up!

Jennyanne, that's wonderful news! :flower: I love the card on Mother's Day idea! So cute! I told my parents pretty much right away, couldn't wait. Plus I need there support if something does go wrong, God forbid!

AFM- Its perfectly normal to eat turtle cake for breakfast while nauseous during pregnancy, right? :haha:
 
Jennyanne so peased for you glad all well and that is an amazing pic.

I told my mam straight away as I too need her support if it hpts wrong. We havenot.told pjs mum or my dad as both are worriers.
 
Thanks everyone!!:hugs:

I didn't tell my Nan & Auntie before as I didn't want something to go wrong again and upset them as good news was really overdue for my family. It has been tough keeping it a secret though, as I was dying to tell them!

We're slowing spreading the news, to everyone else- this week we have posted a package to my husbands parents (who live in another country) which contains the DVD with #5 written on it, and also a card with the scan pic in with 'say hello to number 5' as it'll be their 5th! Just awaiting the phone call of them screaming now as this will be a complete but very welcome surprise for them :haha:

I'm going back home weekend after this so I can tell close friends and family face to face, then I'll be ringing others, then finally announcing it on Facebook, though I will not be putting my scan pictures there as I remember how sad I felt when people posted theirs up, and also one of my best friends is experiencing fertility issues, so I really must be mindful of not going overboard.

I told my manager at work yesterday which was a bit scary, and a few work colleagues, and for now have blocked all posts to my Facebook to prevent any accidents!

Can't wait for everyone to know though!

Xxxx
 
Awww congrats on your 12 week scan Jenny so cute.

I still haven't told my parents yet as I don't want them to get their hopes up and it all go wrong. A few of my close friends know but thats it. Waiting until Easter weekend to tell them I'm soooooo excited!
 
Hey ladies, really starting to let this pregnancy thing sink in..... I never thought I'd be able to be excited... but I am getting the tingly happy feeling.... I am still scared, and I don't think I will be able to be REALLY HAPPY until holding baby... but I am getting better with it. How are you guys doing with this particular aspect of PAL??
 
We have told everyone and everyone is excited for us, but it is still hard not to be a little guarded. I think I will feel a little better after my Dr. appt next week, I am anxiously waiting to hear the heartbeat on the doppler, even though I have seen it twice on an U/S. I thought 12 weeks would be a huge milestone, but it hasn't eased my worry yet!
 
Great scans Cazi and Jenny...chuffed for you! :happydance:

Debz - when's your scan?...will be thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed.

Beth - I'm a nightmare at the minute. Not sure I'll snap out of it. Just can't get excited. Very reluctant to tell anyone at the mo despite the good scan on Monday. Will feel better after my NT scan in 3 weeks providing all is well.

Well, it gets to 12 noon now and I'm nodding off at work! Sooo tired still. Had a work do last night and it about finished me off being out and about instead of nice and toastie in my bed

PS Mom 2 - what's turtle cake??!! :haha:
