Third Time Lucky - Fingers Crossed!!!

[Lou15]

Laubull, sounds like things are going really well for you! I wouldn't worry what people say about your bump, everyone always has an opinion and thinks you're either huge or tiny, nobody ever seems to think you're just right! You will find out when they start measuring your bump in cm, which will be soon now, and I bet it turns out your bump is just right! I love the names you have picked. I am impressed you have managed to agree on both so early! We only have 1 name to manage to decide on, with knowing ours is a boy, and we're still not 100% sure! Which pram and car seat have you gone for? We have bought the Mama's and Papa's Zoom pushchair with carrycot bit too, and a Maxi Cosi Pebble seat with adaptors so that it can be put onto the pram chassis. But it was a hard decision- so many to choose from and such a range in price!

Loeylo, of course you are welcome here! Sending you lots of luck for your woopsie 2WW!! xx

Lots of love to everyone else! The sun is shining here for one so I'm off to hobble out on a walk with my dog! xx

 

[Laubull]

Lou I have my 24 week midwife appointment next week so I'll find out then, I don't think I'm big..... ;-) Have you got a name short list for your little boy? We've gone for the Quinny Buzz 3 with Maxicosi cabrio fix plus the isofix base. I agree all of the choices are scary, we ended up going with the Quinny as it was the first one we liked, not to mention a bargain compared to the likes of bugaboo. I hope you had a nice hobble with your dog and enjoyed the sun today

Loeylo welcome and good luck, hope you'll get you BFP in 2 weeks time!

Hugs to all

P.s. just realised it's v day on Tuesday, whoop!

Hi girls,
Just a quick update! Had my scan today. It went really well, measuring 7 weeks so back a few days but saw heartbeat flickering away. Never got to this stage before so we are just delighted. Starting to feel hopefull
Hve attached a pic for you too see, bottom blob is yolk sac and top blob is baby.
Hope evryone else is well.
Sorry it's not a proper update, so tired tonight!

Happy V-Day Laubull! Hooray for your viable little one!
We had it down to either the Quinny Buzz 3 or the Mama's and Papa's Zoom- the Zoom was on offer so that swayed it for us, but we really liked the Quinny too! Name-wise I really like Gabriel, Gabe for short, which DH is horrified by(!) so that's out! He likes Oliver, and I'm not keen, and we both like Matthew, so looks like he may well be Matthew. William is a definite for middle name- generations of DH's family have had William as their first name and then been called by their middle name- I put my foot down and said that was awkward and our poor son would be forever correcting people about what to call him, so William could be middle name but not a never-used first name!

Congratulations on the scan Twinkle- great to see a healthy heartbeat! This is definitely going to be your 3rd time lucky rainbow baby!

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Laubull]

Twinkle BIG CONGRATULATIONS! that's amazing news, sooo happy for you I hope you're feeling a little more relaxed and excited now.

Lou, thank you, yea to v-day! I love Gabe but think my DH would say the same as yours, picky men!! Matthew William is lovely though You're 30 weeks tomorrow, 3/4 way through, exciting!

Hope everyone else is well

Yey twink! So glad everything is looking good for you!!

Congrats on v day Lou!

 

[loeylo]

Thanks for making me feel welcome guys! Feeling quite anxious about the next 9 days as I know that even if I am not pregnant, my period will be late! That 7 week scan looks great! I got scanned at 7 weeks and it was nowhere near as clear as that! Was that tv or external?

 

[dodgercpkl]

I hope you don't mind me popping back in here. I just wanted to let you ladies know (those that remember me!) that I'm pregnant again. I'm just 4 weeks today, so it's very early, but I'm feeling very good about this little one and I think this one just might stick around.

How's everyone doing?

 

[mannymoo]

Hi Ladies,

Dodge - so glad you have come back to join us and CONGRATS on being pregnant again. This must be your third time lucky. Stick around and keep us posted with how you get on!

Twinks - congrats to you too on a great scan. Its so lovely to see that little heart beating!

Loeylo - my fingers are also crossed for your oopsy BFP. If its meant to be, it will be!

Laubull congrats for your v-day yesterday. I am counting the minutes until mine next week. It seems like such a big milestone in a rainbow pregnancy!

Lou have you stopped work yet or are you still working so hard?

Hi everyone else! Hope you are all well?

FMS no news. Bump seems to have doubled in size in the last few days. Coming to London next week and can't wait to buy some proper maternity clothes. Everything in south africa is terrible!!!

 

[Laubull]

Manny, nice to hear from you! I know what you mean about the bump, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, I dread to think how big I'll be! Have a good time in London, I hope you're coming with an empty case, it sounds like you'll need it! Do you know what you're having?

Dodge, fingers crossed this is your forever baby

Loeyo, I hope the 9 days go quickly and there is a lovely BFP at the end of it

Hugs to all!

Thank you! It's sadly more like my 6th time, but it's the 3rd time with a positive digi, so we'll go with that. I have a 2nd beta tonight, so I'll have a bit better of an idea (other then gut feelings) of how things are going by then.

I hope you have a great time shopping for maternity!! I had some all saved up from last year, but now I would be swimming in them, so I'll have to shop when the time comes as well!

Manny, nice to hear from you! I know what you mean about the bump, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger, I dread to think how big I'll be! Have a good time in London, I hope you're coming with an empty case, it sounds like you'll need it! Do you know what you're having?

Thank you!!! I'll try and catch up on this thread as I can. I hope everyone is doing wonderfully!

 

[Lou15]

Dodge, congratulations! So nice to hear from you again. Let us know how your blood results go

Laubull, glad you like Gabe too, DH made me feel like I was strange for even suggesting it, and said our child would be laughed at if we called him that! But I'm happy with Matthew William too, feel like he could be whatever he wanted to be with a name like that.

Manny, you're so nearly at V day! How far we have all come! Enjoy your trip to London and your clothes shopping. I'm not in any maternity clothes yet, bit disappointed actually as I have some nice bits and pieces I was looking forward to wearing. But my bump is very high and all my normal trousers still fit underneath! Downside to that is that I already feel lots of pressure on my chest and sometimes it feels like I can't breathe! Yes I am still working but this is my 3rd to last week, I am counting down the days, and more importantly the nights on call!

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey everyone!

Well I'm walking on air tonight to as after some brown and red spotting over the last few days and a loss of symptoms, we were sent to the EPU for a scan, and for the first time ever saw a heart beating away on the screen! Most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life!

Here's our little bean:

The picture has flipped on its side for some reason but the small circle is the sack, with the baby inside! Measuring perfect for my ovulation date!

Hi everyone!

Cupcake, that’s great news! It’s amazing isn’t it??!! I could have watched it all day but unfortunately the midwife was very efficient and ours was all over in a couple of minutes. Sorry to hear you had some bleeding but it’s a relief to hear all is well. Think this could be it for both of us!

Lou, yay to only having 3 more weeks to go, I bet that will be a relief! Are you all organised with all your stuff for baby?

Dodge, hello and congratulations!! Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months

Laubull, happy belated v day!!!!

Manny, hope you have a great shopping trip. I can’t wait to start shopping for baby.

Loeylo, hello! Will be stalking for your news in a few days.

Hi to everyone else and hope you are all well.

Just told my parents our news, they were really pleased for us, was great timing as it’s my dad’s 60th today and we are away on holiday together next week. So looking forward to a holiday, stuggling to stop myself yawning through the day at work. Not going anywhere exotic, just the other side of Scotland but it will be great!

Hi girls.

First of all Cupcake and Twinkle many congrats on little bundles on scan, so exciting.

Sorry not been on much recently but been feeling pretty rubbish after operation and not had much concentration for anything. Been reading updates and really pleased that Twinkle paws and Cupcake coming on so well! Also so pleased that PopTart, Lou15, Laubull, Mannymoo, Cheryl are getting so far down track in no time babies will be here!

Dodge - keeping my fingers crossed for you too!

New girls - Sending you the third time lucky positive luck too!

AFM - Well I can't believe that I will be 20 weeks on SUnday, time really has gone so fast and I have suddenly sprouted to have a very obvious baby bump which I am loving! I am also feeling loads of kicks and can now feel lumps and bumps and I am sure elbows moving around in there! It is all so good after a hard time getting here! I have my 20 week scan on Wednesday and I am hoping that everything is fine and then I can start looking forward! I am still reluctant to buy anything and have put everything on hold until I get the ok next week. Not finding out what we are having as have decided it's nice to have a surprise at labour time! DId it with Flynn and it was most memorable moment ever!
Recovery wise, I am still off work and looks like going to be off for a while longer. It has even been mentioned that I may not get back. I have now developed sore SPD when I am on my feet walking for any length of time. Walking is really uncomfortable and also getting in and out car, sleeping and climbing stairs. The operation has left me with wounds that are slowly healing but the fact I am growing everyday is complicating things. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to get another sick line and to discuss the pain I am in. Thinking he may refer me to the Physio but not sure. Stressing a bit about time going to be off work potentially but I actually could not work in the condition I am in. I am a primary school teacher so it is not the kind of job that you can sit at a desk all day and is very demanding. My boss has been pretty good so far and so that is something. Just resting as much as I can really and taking painkillers when I feel I really have to. Apart from that not a lot going on here! My 4 yr old keeping us very busy as he suddenly thinks he is a teenager and has the attitude to go with it. Horrible at the moment though as he is poorly and has just fallen asleep on the couch after calpol which is NOT LIKE him at all. Flynn usually sleeps in his bed at night and no where else. Hoping he is not coming down with anything.

Anyway sorry for the delay in replying, time seems to be going to fast. Oh those who have had 20 weeks scans did you worry before you went that all may not be good? I am trying to be positive but there is always that little piece of negativity plucking away in the background.

Hope anyone I have missed is doing ok too!!

Love Elaine xxx

 

[dodgercpkl]

6th time unlucky.

 

[mannymoo]

So sorry dodge. Sending you a big hug. Did you try new meds this time around? I really hope your next one works out. You've been on quite a journey. Xxx

 

[dodgercpkl]

Thank you but there won't be a next one. 6 losses is enough for me to get that I'm not meant to give birth.

 

[garfie]

so sorry Dodge BIG

[Laubull]

Dodge I am so sorry, sending you lots of virtual hugs, I wish there was something I could say that would help. xxx
