Bag puss get the Doppler, otherwise you are just not gonna relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Even now at 23 weeks I still use if I've not felt much movement that I recall, altho I feel him most days now several times.

Manny how are you feeling about tomorrow? Excited I bet!

Lau hope that baby comes soon!!!

Garfie do you have another scan this week?

Mommy, any more betas?

Twink how you getting on bump buddie?

AFM can't wait to have a week off work next week, and I think I'm gonna get my mat leave sorted this week so I can start my countdown!

 

[mommylov]

Morning ladies!!

Lau, sorry I missed your qurestion about the scan. My dr said that she would do a scan once my HCG levels reached 2000. She didnt want to do one before that because they wouldnt see anything. My next test is this wed.

Garfie, yay for scans only now!!

Hope you all are doing great!

Oh, forgot to say but got my results back on sat from fridays test. Dr said that she had to call the lab. Guess thier system had gone down or something but they went from 37 on wed to 137 on fri!!! She said this was excellent so I didnt have to go back on sun for bloods and now will go on wed. I hope this LO is our rainbow and continues to grow!!!

Great results Mommylov! Congratulations, I am sure this is going to be your 3rd time lucky!

Manny, just want to send you my very best wishes for tomorrow. You have been there for me throughout this whole 3rd time lucky journey - I am so grateful, and I just so hope that everything goes well for you and that you have a good birth experience. I will be thinking of you all day and can't wait to hear your news and see a picture of your little one. Also so excited that you are the first of the team yellows (although I know you have your suspicions!). My only advice to you would be to stick up for yourself if you have to- in hindsight, I wish I had when I was in labour!

Hi girlies

Wow, not been on for a few days and so much has happened.

Firstly a big congrats to mommylov and garfie, hope everything continues to go well for you both! PMA is definitely the way forward! For some reason I just felt much more positive this pregnancy and it has really paid off so far!

Manny, lots of best wishes for tomorrow, cannot wait to hear from you after baby is born. Hope everything goes well for you xxx

Laubull, hope baby is on it's way

Cupcake, I'm doing fine thanks. Nearly V day for us!!! I have 10 weeks left at work! Looking forward to a few weeks to get the house cleaned and just chill before baby arrives. When do you think you will finish up? Are you going to take a year off? I had a weeks holiday last week, was lovely. Going back to work today was not so nice but it's good to be counting down the weeks. Are you going away on your week off?

Lou, belated happy birthday, hope your boys treated you! Matthew is so gorgeous and it's lovely to hear you are loving being a mummy.

Elaine, nearly there!!

SATH, hope you had a successful weekend, when are you planning on testing?

Bagpuss, I didn't get a Doppler as I thought I would just panic if I couldn't hear anything but I know a lot of the girls on her found theirs to be very reassuring.

AFM, glad to be nearly 24 weeks, time is starting to fly past now. Have ordered cot and think I have decided on travel system and crib. Have been buying a few more bits and bibs as I go along too, is so exciting to think I will be getting to use them in 16/17ish weeks!! eeekk!!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Laubull]

Hi girlies!

Sath I hope you enjoyed your weekend ;-)

Elaine nice to hear from you! Under 5 weeks for you, exciting! What was your labour like with your son?

Cupcake enjoy your week off

Mommylov great news on your results, I hope Wednesday's are just as positive

Manny good luck for tomorrow, I hope everything goes smoothly and I can't wait to hear what you have!!

Lou how are you? How is Matthew?

Bagpuss I'm with Twinkle on the Doppler, I didn't want to get one and then risk not hearing it, but in saying that if my DH had let me buy one I probably would have done!!

Twinkle happy v day for 2 days time, I can't believe how quickly it's going!

Garfie I hope you're well

AFM tomorrow is my due date! I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm definitely getting more period type cramping and back ache but no other signs. I'm hoping the midwives will be able to kick-start things tomorrow with a sweep.

Hugs to all and anyone I've missed! X

Yes girls with no doppler that's what I'm worried about panicking at no heartbeat. I also read someone who had a doppler was falsely reassured after reduced movement due to good hb but it turned out baby had stopped growing and needed delivered early and she said if she hadn't had it she would have seeked medical advice ASAP! Arrrrghhh! Feel like I'm going mad. I have midwife on 30th when I'll be nearly 17 weeks so I'm hoping she will use her doppler then?? Can't remember from last time if the do or not. Then thought might get private scan between then and 20 week scan. Still wonder if I should get some counselling but not really sure how easy that is!

Hi Ladies, can I join?

We just lost our 2nd baby two weeks ago. I'm having some blood work done in 3 weeks to see what's going on. My dr thinks it may be because I have long cycles and ovulate so late that my eggs are overripe. If so, she wants to try us on clomid. I've been making changes this time around to try to keep my spirits up. I joined the gym and have been learning how to sew (my grandma would be so proud!).

Anyone else have m/c's that seem to run in your family? My grandma had 2 early m/c before her 3 beautiful girls. My mother had 2 girls, then 2 m/c, then another little girl. Both of my aunts had a m/c, a sweet boy, then another m/c and stopped. My mil had a son, a m/c, and then my husband. It comforts me to know all of them still had children, but it makes me sad to think I may pass this on to my future children.

 

[mommylov]

Hi girls! Hope everyone is doing well!!

hope4rainbow, Im so sorry to hear about your losses. I found out after my 1st mc that my mom had one and my MIL had one or 2 as well. Its interestign how you hear about so many women goign through having losses once you have gone thgrough it. Youre not alone hun. There are plenty of women that have losses and go on to have healthy beautiful blessings. There are quite a few women on here that can tell you that it can happen. I hope you can find some peace and support here. I dont think its a hereditary thing for the most part. Sometimes its just how the genetic make up happens when sperm meets egg and has nothing to do with the individual.
