thats it :thumbup: its meant to make a circle of light around the world or sumthin :flower:
 
Yeah there's an Event on facebook for it -international wave of light or summat. The idea being if we all light our candles at 7pm our time on the 15th it'll spread like a wave of love :cloud9:

Deb, forgot to say, great news on your dads results - what a relief xxxx

Thanks to all those who thought of Hedgewitch's little miracle Agatha-Grace. She has been suffering from apnoea and stops breathing sometimes. Seems to happen more often when mummy is holding her - the medical team think because she recognises mummy she relaxes too much and forgets to breathe :shock: They've been treating her with caffeine and she managed to go all last night with no O2, and to breastfeed a little this morning rather than take it through a tube. I'm hoping she's turned the corner :cloud9: She's only 35+0 today, despite being 5 days old, so is doing really well xx
 
Hi ladies - I'm back from Thanksgiving in Montreal with my family (well, some of it!).

Thanks so much for your thanksgiving wishes! It was wonderful - best turkey ever (the key to good turkey is, apparently, pork!). My mom and dad were adorable and took me and hubby baby shopping. We now have an adorable mobile, blanket, toy, and hair brush set, plus 2 funny little onesies (vests for you in the UK).

We looked around and while we easily picked our high chair (the svan - so cool looking) and I'm indifferent to the crib, I have serious baby carriage anxiety.

So I've definitely felt the baby - I poked my belly and it poked back! That confirmed to me what I thought was the baby was definitely the baby. Weird - that means I've been feeling it since just past 11 weeks.

Enough about me....Jenny, I'm so sorry to hear the stress you're going through and sorry you can't be with your mum right now! :hugs: I hope it turns out to be nothing. You need a break!

Deb - glad to hear about your dad.

Welcome Lightweight!

I know I'm missing stuff from the last few days, but hugs to everyone who needs them!
 
Jenny - I'm so sorry ou are having to deal with this worry. I sincerely hope that everything is fine with bubs when they rescan you! I will keep everything crossed for you!

Yeay on your good news Deb - so glad your dad is ok!

Sorry not been around for a few days. I've been lurking and checkin up on you all though!

I'm doing good - feeling positive! Bu my MS is still there. I thught it may have eased by now! Bt nevr mind - a bit of sickness wont kill me - Ans i'm still over the moon and feel very lucky so can't complain!

HUgs to you all xxxxx
 
Today we're doing the happy 13 week dance :bunny: and accepting that I can't actually hold my breath until Thursday's scan, tempting as it is. I feel like it's the big bump I'd like to pass before loosening up the worry knot considerably. I want to relax and really enjoy this pregnancy. I have a meeting with my doc the day after the ultrasound, so this is a busy bean week. I wonder when we'll find out what we're having and if we can avoid having to shell out for it - they make you pay to find out here now. I can't remember the usual week for finding out gender (16 - 20?), and I'm not overly confidant in my hamburger vs. turtlehead / nub reading abilities.

We're planning on telling my mom & dad the big news this Saturday at our belated Thanksgiving festivities, hopefully we'll have a nice pic (and excellent news) to share! I know they'll be thrilled to find out they have another new grandchild on the way... it's something to look forward to. My belly seems to finally be expanding outward a bit, although that may have something to do with the bucket of mint chocolate chip ice cream I hit yesterday. Today all I want is lime Perrier and Indian food.

Big happy hearts to all... I'm still trying to catch up on all the new news.
 
Jenny- Hope everything turns out ok
Welcome Lightweight!
Not much new here. Physical therapy and 18 week checkup next week. Starting to worry my BP might already be rising, as I have been really dizzy and my foot was swollen last night. Hopefully not. The last 3 pregnancies I did not get the high BP until after 25 weeks, and it progressed fast after that. That is what worries me if it comes on earlier. My first I was on bed rest for 3 months, half in the hospital. Which wasnt to bad as I didnt have other children or a job or anything. The other two just lots of bedrest. Just wondering when, not if, it will come on this time. The doctor told me I have a 90% of getting it again this time and being induced early. Just hopeing to go at least to 37 weeks. My son was 36 weeks and was in the NICU for 2 weeks. I dont want to go through that again.
I keep getting these odd feelings I am not pregnant anymore. All of a sudden it just comes to my head, "its over". But then I feel a wiggle or hear the heartbeat. So I am not quite sure why I am thinking like this. Maybe I am not very attached to this baby yet? Maybe that makes me a bad person? I dont know, I am a little emotional about the whole pregnancy lately. Anyways sorry for the long post, and thanks for listening/reading my craziness. Hope everyone is well!

Aww Jenny! I hope nothing is really wrong and hopefully it all turns out fine!

HOw's Everyone in here?? Im really anxious for my next scan it's two weeks away
and I just can't wait to know the gender of my LO! i hate playing the waiting game I want to do my nursery already and just know how everything is going in there! ooh also i just noticed my prenatal vitamins give me nausea all day long any ideas as of why???:confused:
 
Good luck for Thursday Bumpy!

Christina-Feeling the way you are feeling does not make you a bad person. I just think things are so different after loss. Our minds play tricks on us. I have moments of panic, sheer terror-convinced something is wrong. It's not based on logic or something not going well, it's just my anxieties. I wonder if the same is true for you. At any rate, i hope it eases off for you. I know that when I am feeling that way it makes me feel horribly crazy. It's not a good feeling. Hugs hun.
 
Mommy2B-I hate waiting too (luckily my wait comes to an end this Friday!) The time in between scans feels excruciating sometimes! Hang in there! It will be here before you know it.

Sorry you have to wait! Perhaps you can start with a couple gender neutral things to get you started? :)

As for your prenatals - yeah, it's the iron that usually causes it. Taking on a full stomach should help. Feel better.

Good luck at your scan, Bumpy! Please don't hold your breath... Hope you enjoyed Turkey day!

Christina - :hugs: I know what you mean and that doesn't make you a bad person or even close! This whole pregnancy thing is hard and emotional as it is, but having gone through a loss like yours changes the game and makes it so much scarier and so much harder feel like this baby is yours for keeps... Please don't feel bad.

Fingers crossed for a healthy, bed rest free and full term pregnancy this time for you!
 
girls paul and i have decided to continue with the pregnancy i think the words from debs helped us make the decision i called her yesterday and she helped me too , i understand if the child has downs we would still go ahead with the pregnancy cause we wouldnt have it any other way and i read up if the child has partial edwards and patau's their is a better outlook than having a full blown edward and patau's now if it comes back that its full blown edwards and patau's we will have to induce the pregnancy i think cause it takes 2-3 weeks for the results so if i get the cvs next week i will be 14 weeks and get the results back at 16-17 weeks that would mean i would need to deliver now if we are not happy with what the specialist says we will seek a 2nd opionion i wonder if you girls can help me where would i find top fetal specialists and pregnancy specialists im stuck on where too look x
 
Morning sweetie, FWIW I think we would do the same in your position - defo await the CVS results :hugs: I'm sure a specialist from Kings is the person you want looking after you. They'll be working under Prof Kypros Nikolaides and he is the KING of fetal meds.

Lots of love xxxxxx
 
Jen you will get the prelim CVS a few days later. We had our test on the Thurs and got results Tues .. should have been Monday but they forgot to ring :growlmad: The prelim results are for full downs, edward's and Pataus. The partial forms are the results that take longer.
 
right i get you debbie i thought it was just a yes or no answer that we get in the first few days and what it was a few weeks later xx
