PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

[SmileyShazza]

Congratulations on V Day Cesca and also to Brandi, Patsy, Kabie, Swanny & Meow!!! Wow so many ladies now becoming viable

Glad to hear your 20 week scan went well Fierce Angel

Debs hope the GTT test comes back clear – I have mine on Monday and am not really looking forward to it I must admit.

Had my 29 week midwife appointment on Tuesday and all was well apart from a trace of ketones in my urine, she didn’t appear to be too concerned so I’m not letting it worry me.

I know how you feel Chimpette – was only saying to OH last night “how can I get any bigger” even though I don’t think I’m that big when I look at pictures of other ladies who are around the same stage as me but to me this feels big and I just can’t envisage how much bigger my tummy is going to get!

Happy New Year to all my lovely bump buddies!!

Not had chance to catch up on everyone's adventures but hope you are all doing well. Just thought I'd pop in to say that I have been a little bit naughty and may be pregnant again even though my second set of blood results are not back yet. the first set came back normal with all levels perfect and chromosome checks were perfect so no idea why things happened. Anyway, was due aunt flo a couple of days ago and she hasn't popped in to say hello. Feeling dead on my feet, icky tummy and starting to get the same symptoms I had before. Not holding out but there may be the slightest of chances that I can join in again.

Maybe speak to you all soon ;@P

hi rainbow!
am i right in thinking you're new to the group?
if not, i'm just very good at looking over your ticker atm but i'll find it eventually

very happy to hear your baby boy is doing great!
i understand the panic, were there signs of alex being born early?
meaning, will they be able to tell at 34 weeks if the same might happen?

Thanks for support girls and the crossing fingers. Petrified to test and got reasons why. Tests due back any time now but they reckon it will be all clear. I have my own conclusions which may be wrong and you're welcome to disagree.

If all is clear then the problem has to be me. As soon as I found out I made big changes to protect baby. Maybe I changed too much too quickly and instead of helping I exposed my body to too much too soon and it couldn't cope. My body used to things like coffee, meat, fatty foods as well as the good stuff but suddenly it was good stuff only, no junk and pumped with vitamins. This sudden change might have upset things enough to cause harm?

I don't want to test, get a bfp, celebrate and start going into protection mode with vitamins etc then lose again 2weeks later. By waiting til I've missed 2 cycles I can get past the dreaded 8week Mark. I can't start panicing as I don't know if I'm pregnant so my baby (hopefully there) can settle in nicely and get strong enough to survive without me forcing my body into changing from what it's used to getting supplied with. Hope someone can see my sense of things?

I do have questions with things and hope to get your comments. I know you lot a little more than in other threads and I know I can get straight answers instead if being told it's all pregnancy when it might not be. Want to know if there can be anything else causing the following or if my dream is coming true.

Bloated tummy
Firmer tummy - was flabby due to extra weight and recently lose skin as I have been losing the weight. Doesn't feel like it's the exercise firming it as only got firmer the last week and not been exercising since before Xmas as classes finished.
Very gassy - don't drink fizzy juice etc but can't stop.
Veiny boobs - since twins this normally indicates AF coming in a day or two but no sign.
Increased hunger - have not been eating as much due to increase water and exercising but since Xmas I can't get satisfied for more than 2 hours.
Dry skin - no amount of cream helps
Spotty - not had this problem so bad such puberty
Flushes - cheeks rosy and can go hot to cold and back in seconds
Tummy flutters - may be due to gas etc
Short bursts of twinges in abdomen left hand side. Nothing sore but can feel them and same in back. Lasts only a second or two then fine for hours. Nothing like AF cramps which I should be getting by now even if it was late
Mood swings - instead of being really moody, I'm surprisingly content and happy with only short bursts which last a minute or so (I'm a red head and normally get rattled very easily especially around AF)
Frequent toilet trips

I'm hoping they are all signs but can they be something else? Any comments on what I've written is welcomed no matter what they are and sorry for long post!

I completely understand you wanting to find reasons for your losses but chances are hun that there will be nothing wrong and NOTHING you did or didn't do caused those losses. Changing bad habits such as starting to eat healthy and starting vitamins will not have shocked your body babe and made you lose your bubs. Please stop thinking that it's anything you could have controlled.

I lost 2 babies last year and am now pregnant again. Before my BFP's and even when TTC I drank alcohol regularly, smoked heavily and ate fatty foods. Upon getting my BFP's I stopped the fags and booze (still ate some unhealthy food though) straight away. I didn't do anything differently the 2 times I lost than what I did this time.

What a lot of losses sadly come down to hun is shit horrible luck (obviously some women do have tests and they find out something is missing or deficient and can fix it). After all it takes a lot to make a baby - 2 cells becoming a baby is a miracle and there's a lot that can go wrong. It's just awful that so many of us have to go through a loss at all - never mind more than one. It's so unfair but its nothing you did hun - be safe in the knowledge of that at least! You changed to habits to give your baby a better start - this will not have had a detrimental effect.

Big hugs and MASSIVE luck that this is your time hun!

 

[Lianne1986]

i have to agree with beadette hun.

if ur test results come back clear then i do think its just down to bad luck. i hate sayin tht cuz even now i still try and think of how or why i had a mmc.

i really hope this is a sticky for u. those syptoms sound very positive xx

^^ What Neen said babes. Treating your body better will not have hurt your babies. Your symptoms sound strong - I'd suggest testing, so that you know. If you decide to make changes to your lifestyle as a result you can do it gradually Thinking of you xx
