croy - good point! i forgot about that but used to do that trick awhile back. i will go to the post office!

hoping this site isn't down for maintenance any more!

Hopeful, just so you know most post offices have gone to internet change of address cards so the coupons aren't out there anymore. However, you can buy a Lowe's coupon online for about $3 off a website I use. I do that all the time to save 10% lol.

If not, you can open a HD credit card account and get 10% off right away. = )

Davies, shall we share? Between your constipation and my squits we should find a comfortable middle ground.

Ducky is huccuping
Or is it hiccoughing?

Pink and Sara, super betas there!

mom- a lot of times you just have to ask for The packets. They don't have them out on the counters here anymore but they have them if you ask. I imagine they have to have a way to change address without a computer for people that don't have one!! But thanks for the online coupon tip - I will remember that in the future too!

Hope Heart got some good news at her scan. Thinking of you xx

 

[heart tree]

Good news! Cervix improved from 2.6 to 2.9 and there is no sign of funneling The scan that measured 2.6 last week was an abdominal scan which is less accurate. I may have never had a length that short in fact. I'm still going to do bedrest for the next week until my next scan just to see if it improves. 2.9 is still fairly short but not horrible. I feel much better. Might even order some furniture today!

 

[puppycat]

awesome news Heart x

 

[petitpas]

Woohoo! That's brilliant news!
Gosh, if I had known that last week's was an external scan I'd have reassured you even more! As it is, you have now officially beaten me on length by 1mm

Enjoy your rest this week and make sure you post pictures of the furniture you are ordering!

Big hugs and big relief Xxx

No problem! I only know that because I am a mystery shopper for post offices so I have some info not available for the public. They will stay have ways for changing addresses for those without computers but the card will not have a Lowe's coupon on it. Apparently Lowe's caught on and they have put an end to it. In fact, if you do find a packet with a Lowe's coupon in it the vast majority will have expired coupons. Home Depot won't take expired competitor coupons. So I just buy the coupons now adays lol

Pip they did both internal and external scans last week. They told me I measured 3.0 and 2.6. I assumed the 2.6 was the internal scan. I was shocked today when they told me it was the opposite. Still going to take it easy. No more gym for me, but I know you were at 2.8 at 18 weeks and look at you now! So happy!

 

[hopeful23456]

Yeah heart! So happy for you!

 

[petitpas]

Heart, it was my private consultant (he of the steroids) who performed the scan. He said that by checking at 18 weeks you could get a good idea of whether there might be a problem with the cervix later (since I have had five D&Cs). He said ky measurement was good and I didn't need checking again.
As it is, I am having an internal to check my placenta position so I might ask them whether they can measure the length then.
How mean of them not to have clarified which measurement was the more accurate one last time
Still, I love your careful doctor
Mine is ultra careful, too, hence the early eviction of ducky.
It is very reassuring to know we have such good people watching over our babies

Really pleased for you Amanda

I hope you are all doing good girls x

 

[Mon_n_john]

Amanda I am so happy to hear your happy news, yay!

 

[heart tree]

Thanks everyone. You are all so wonderful!

Pip, I would selfishly love it if you got your cervix length checked again. It would give me even more hope that I'm going to be ok. You are going to be my measure of safety now.

 

[croydongirl]

Oh heart so happy for you!! That's awesome news!!

Hi! :wave: New here. Just thought I'd join in with all of you ladies that are expecting after recurrent m/c's like me. It's still very early in my pregnancy, but as you can see I just updated my siggy today with the latest betas and things are looking really good! I'm 5+3 and my HCG today was 3,935! Sooo much better than the last time! Hoping and praying 3rd time's a charm!

 

[hopeful23456]

Welcome and coNgrats tuckie! That's a good.beta!

 

[heart tree]

Welcome Tuckie and Congrats! That is an awesome beta! I see you are on progesterone this time. Did you take it for your other pregnancies? This was the first pregnancy I took it for and I have high praise for it.

You are in good company. A few newbies just joined us who are also very early and are still getting betas done. The early days are so stressful. I hope you find a comfy home here for the next 9 months.

We tend to chat a lot, so jump right in!

 

[croydongirl]

Welcome Tuckie!! Awesome betas.

Ladies I wish you could see my hubby right now, he is still feeling rubbish and tons of sinus pressure so he is standing in front of the stove with his head covered with a towel over a pot of boiling water!!! He looks so funny.

I am halfway through reading 'happiest Baby on the block' have any of you read it? I am loving his philosophy of the first few months. Of course, when he is here who knows how we will do it but it feels good to have an idea of a plan! ha ha
