[jenny25]

Thanks I guess it's just natural the feeling we have I have kinda talked too hubby will talk more too him I know this is our rainbow baby I just can't wait to order my Doppler and use it I think that helped me a last time xxx

 

[daviess3]

Jenny mine helps me, but take a breath an no u had a fabulous scan my lovely an positive thoughts for the next! What Doppler u gonna buy?? Me an heart brought sonoline b 3mhz an I think Lou has it to I found my bubs early but think most find bOut 11 weeks. What one did u use last time?

Hopeful yay for 13 weeks u go mrs!! Can't believe it wow best feeling every week!!

I couldn't decide what to eat as I was hungry but didn't want anything!! So had orange an apple prawn cocktail crisps, 3 kinder bars! An jacket potato!! Fat bitch!!!!!
Bed is über comfy!! Love it an hubby keeps snoring so I have king size bed to myself as he is in his sons bed!!
When u coming off progesterone? I got one left but was thinking of getting some more as very scared!!

 

[heart tree]

Davies, I'm stopping progesterone on Thursday when I'm 12+6. I have enough to take them until 14 weeks, but I don't think I'll need them. I'm really scared to stop them too, but we need to trust that our bodies are doing what they're supposed to. The placenta takes over. I've never been diagnosed with a progesterone deficiency so I need to have faith that I'm producing enough on my own.

Still jealous of your bed. I might have to come over and try it out!

 

[jenny25]

Mine was a hi bebe I rented it had a LCD screen I got to hear Jamie's heartbeat at 9+2 so that's just over two weeks away x

 

[hopeful23456]

Davies - I'm not taking prog tonight for the first time at 13 wks. My dr said most girls are scared to go off it but I could have gone off a week ago. She said if the placenta isn't taking over progesterone production by now it wouldn't be normal anyway basically. don't think anyone has had major issues going off it per google but everyone is alwys scared.

I had cloudy pee tonight but think its from the lower dose prednisone pills I started today as they are white and chalky covered? I hope so , gonna drink a lot of water and see what happens.

 

[hopeful23456]

Jenny- I worry all day long, every day. Not so bad that I feel like its going overboard but just constantly there, about everything imaginable that could go wrong. Like now I'm worried that last prog suppos gave me an infection.

I keep thinking about getting a Doppler but still on the fence about it.
But I hear so many happy Doppler stories that it make me want one

Sunny- my back is sore too and I get twinges that come and go. You will be fine too!

I wish we could all have a worry free few days. Wouldn't that be nice?

 

[puppycat]

Just threw up again worse thing is hubby saw me. I feel so dirty.

 

[hopeful23456]

Puppy! Hoping the morning sickness gets better! Were you this sick with your other kids? They say you get sicker with either boys or girls, can't remember but just an old wives tale...

 

[puppycat]

Nowhere near as sick with Laura. I had one episode after a curry one night but was very lucky with her. This is a whole new ball game for me. Think DH was a bit taken aback too. So tired zzzzzzz

 

[hopeful23456]

I hope you can get some sleep and hold down some food. You need your energy

 

[croydongirl]

Happy 13 weeks Hopeful!!

Puppy sorry you are so sick. I really hope you start feeling better soon.

Feeling terrible, headache is back. Hoping it goes away because I have a test at school tomorrow morning I can't miss. I think that I am overtired, hubby's best friend was here last night from Napa, and his flight out this morning was at 7 so hubs got up at 5am and took him, got back about an hour later and slept for a bit before leaving for work. I don't think that I slept at all after i heard hi get up the first time. I know he is tired too. But my head is killing me.

We are supposed to be going to friends for dinner, its a bit late to cancel so i think we;ll go and just leave kinda early. Especially because I have nothing in to make for dinner so at least we'll be fed!

 

[hopeful23456]

Croy- hope your headache goes away, I couldn't imagine having to study for a test.

Night 1 of no progesterone supp, it's so nice! I usually lay in bed 30 mins after and worry about it dripping out and now that worry is gone.

But, started what might be true round ligament pain as I think I just had more of stretching pains before. This stuff hurt! Kinda felt like a bad pulled muscle for a few seconds so i layed down. put me in panic mode for a bit but I know it's ok.
I'm guessing this is going to start happening to everyone more often as we get in 2nd tri...

 

[heart tree]

Croy I think headaches are worse with a lack of sleep. I barely got any sleep last night and had a headache today. I hope you can rest tonight before your test. Good luck tomorrow!

My brain wouldn't be able to take a test. I was discussing a client with colleagues today and completely lost my train of thought several times. I can't wait to tell them it's due to pregnancy brain!

Hopeful I only have 5 more suppositories to use! One tonight, 2 tomorrow and 2 Thursday. I can't wait to not feel the ooze and panic that it's blood. I'm also looking forward to not wearing panty liners. It must be so nice!

I've definitely had the ligament pains. They really do hurt.

I got hit hard today with nausea. When does the relief come? I'm so ready for it. I think tonight's dinner is going to be another jacket potato. It's all I can stomach at night.

I'm quitting therapy tomorrow. I started going right before IUI. I thought I needed support for all my losses. But now I don't feel like focusing on that grief and I certainly don't feel like spending $140 a week to talk about how happy I am!

 

[justwaiting]

Scan went great baby measured 12.2wks hb156 risk of problems 1:18000. Owphie jumped all over the place makin it hard to get the measurement which wasn't do bad bein able to watch him for ages I'm so relieved and thrilled.
Thanks for the reassurance ladies

 

[heart tree]

That's wonderful news! I knew it was going to be perfect! Isn't it so great to see the baby wriggle around? Many Congrats!

Now I can go to bed. Was waiting for your update. I'm exhausted. Have a great rest of your day. I'm quite sure you will!

 

[petitpas]

Heart you're having a baby!
Forget that talking therapy, don't tell DH and take that money for some baby retail therapy instead at the very least, get yourself some comfortable maternity pants!

Justwaiting, congrats on your scan! I've never heard of anyone having their hcg and progesterone monitored at 12 weeks. It seems pretty much pointless
The only hcg test at that time forms part of the nt scan but that's a whole different calculation...

Jenny, my friend had a bereavement midwife (after a stillborn baby). She found her to be exceptionally nice and helpful to the whole pregnancy experience. She is specialised to support PAL so definitely give her a call and let yourself be supported we are also here for you

Puppy, I really feel for your sickness. I vomited yesterday morning. DH and I were on a ferry (but hadn't left port yet) eating breakfast. I choked on upcoming vomit, went bright red and every time I caughed my breakfast started coming up. It was audibly doing so and I was seriously trying to decide whether coughing to breathe or suppressing an embarassing scene of vomiting was more important... I just about caught my breath, ran to the loo and spent the next ten minutes emptying myself. Thankfully, the cafe had been almost empty because I was mortified!

Don't worry about your consultant. Being taken under my consultant's wing after my second loss was the best thing that ever happened to me! No more epu meat market and full support (e.g. weekly scans with no hanging around in a waiting room) by the most caring lady you can imagine. I could never ever have gone on without her. I know a couple of other consultants at my hospital who are really caring and nice, too. Think about it, they are top doctors who want to work with babies and pregnant ladies. You will feel very safe and cared for

 

[jenny25]

Aww puppy I hope you feel better hun I've been quiet lucky with sickness just felt sick a few times and that's it all I really have is sensitive boobs and even and that I still need too prod them to make sure that they still hurt and I do get tired that's about it lol xx


I feel abit better today a little more calm should I say Xxx

 

[Pretty Please]

Morning girls,

How is everyone?

Starting to stress now scan and consultation at 330. Not hopefully haven't been no where as sick what I usually am. Also I never get too excited I'm prego as then it's less of a hit when mc. Me and hubby never talk about bubs - it would be really lovely to be a " normal " woman and could get excited when it came up prego and dance around the house ! . Hope I've got hb but time will tell - I'd hate to have another mmc they are the worse things in the world

 

[filipenko32]

Pretty how come I missed you were actually pregnant!!!!???? oh dear I am losing the plot!! Well congratulations for now, I really really hope this will be successful for you and will be thinking of you today x x x
