[yazzy]

Congratulations Tasha and welcome to the world little man!!

Also congratulations Sunshine, it's perfectly normal to have those fears. Will you get an early scan?

Afm i'll be 30 weeks tomorrow, starting to feel very real and really need to get organised as I haven't prepared anything yet! Want to get my daughter in her new bedroom then organise baby things so I better get started!

 

[Sunshine14]

Ahhh Tasha congrats hun I just read ur story in daily mail and you have a beautiful family and little Orion is gorgeous xx just goes to show you have to trust ur instincts hey! Delighted for you Tasha after all ur years of heartbreak xx is that it now or are you going to never say never lol well done babe xx

Yazzy lovely to hear you doing so well and 30 weeks! The rest will fly by hun xx are you still team yellow? What do you think baby is? Good luck with moving ur little lady and keep us posted would love to hear updates xx

Anyone else close to delivery? I think babytots is due next end of July?

Anyway hope everyone is well?

 

[Tasha]

Thanks Cami. How are you doing hun?

Yazzy, thank you. happy 30 weeks for tomorrow! I didn't get organised until late either.

Thank you sunshine, this is definitely us done now. He's pregnancy was the hardest thing ever. Obviously he was totally worth it but I can't ever do that again. We will probably look at some permanent contraception in the future since I can ever have an oops pregnancy as it'll result in a loss.

Yes babtots is due end of July. How are you feeling today?

 

[Camichelle]

I'm doing great as of today Tasha! 2nd beta came back today at 774 from 83 on Monday. 27 hour doubling time! I've never gotten good beta results before so I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

[Tasha]

Fantastic news Cami xx

HI everyone . My husband and i are trying to conceive after 2 pregancy losses giving us three babies in heaven. Imet with a specialist doc to see what he recommended to prevent another loss and he suggested a blood test for MTHFR. Its something that is super complicated but I've of iit'ssymptoms is pregnancy lloss. I tested positive and now take a baby aspirin every day. He said that women who have had 10 losses take baby aspirin and have a healthy pregnancy. So, we Are praying it works!! I also am supposed to stay away from folic acid and take Folate instead.

Hey Tasha I'm good thanks for asking hun! I'm worrying about early scan at the moment and what to do as my last pg was an ectopic which was very stressful but reabsorbed eventually. I think they said I have to go back at 4 weeks (which is now) to check any new pg isnot in the tube but I can't face the disappointment of another scan and not seeing anything so I'm burying my head in the sand at the moment lol I'm thinking if I don't have any pain / bleeding until 6 weeks I could book a scan then and hopefully there would be a feral pole & hb by that point if there is going to be one xxx

Ksierra welcome to the thread fingers crossed for you hun x

 

[yazzy]

Hey Sunshine, still team yellow here! I'm guessing boy, so we shall see happy either way as long as he or she is healthy.

As you know my pregnancy before this one was ectopic, I was booked in for an early scan at 6+3 which although was scary was really reassuring.

Camichelle congratulations, I hope all goes really well and can't wait to hear the updates.

 

[sil]

Nice to see everyone again!

Congrats again Tasha, he is beautiful!!

Yazzy, wow 30 weeks already! I feel like you just got your BFP. How are you feeling?

Cami, SO excited! Everything is crossed for you here. Come on sticky baby!

Sunshine, when is your appointment? Good luck I'll be thinking of you!

AFM, I'm 37w3d today. My DS was born at 38+4 so if history repeats itself, DS2 should be here pretty soon


Cami and SUnshine, any bfp pics? I miss looking at those.

 

[Sunshine14]

Thanks for the info Yazzy - that has put my mind at ease that I can wait for a scan til 6+ weeks. I'm only using ic's and the progression on them seems to be very good. I am checking them every 48 hours and comparing them and they are getting progressively darker - I know it's a basic method but it's making me feel a bit better! How are you feeling anyway is the heat getting to you?

Sil lovely to hear from you and can't believe you're due any time now! Where did that time go hun!! Good luck for the birth hun xxx Re my scan I will ring next week if I make it past 5 weeks and try to get an appointment for 6+ weeks .... there should be a hb by then if there is going to be one right?

Cami how you doing hun?

Hello to everyone else xx

Hi Ladies, I found this thread and it makes me happy to hear stories about rainbow babies.

My story- last July after 2 1/2 years TTC I had my first ever BFP, I was ecstatic but started bleeding at 5 weeks. I carried the pregnancy to 18 weeks before having a miscarriage. It was devastating, but they found out that I have a clotting disorder that can be controlled by baby aspirin, so it gave me hope that I could control bleeding in the next pregnancy.

Then in April I found out I was pregnant with a rainbow baby. No bleeding, no spotting, but then I had a bad first trimester scan. I found out two weeks later that the baby had Down's syndrome and that she had passed. It was easier knowing that miscarriages happen often with Down's syndrome, and having been pregnant a second time, but I still felt like my world was crashing around me.

It's been about 3 weeks since my D&C and I'm taking my prenatals to make sure that my folic acid and iron levels are high enough. We're planning on trying straight away and letting nature take its course. We'll try IVF if there is no BFP by the end of the year (I am 37).

Hopefully even more BFPs are around the corner. Good luck to all of us!

 

[yazzy]

Xanzaba I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. This thread is great and everyone on here is so friendly.

Sunshine yep I saw my doctor at 4 weeks (just after my bfp) and he phoned the hospital direct and booked my scan. At 6+3 we saw baby with a flickering heartbeat.

I'm ok thanks but yes the heat is definitely affecting me more this year!

Hello everyone :waves:

So much to catch up on, massive congrats Cami and Sunshine,keeping everything crossed for sticky beans

And so pleased to hear that your rainbow arrived earth side safely Tasha, what a lovely and unusual name

37 weeks today, so classed as term I guess now, eek! I'm hoping to have a HVBAC, so unprepared and disorganised with everything, need to get my butt into gear as I feel like I'm not going to go that overdue this time round.

 

[sil]

Just wanted to pop in and say my rainbow has arrived

 

[Camichelle]

Congrats Sil!!!!!!
How are you and baby doing?

 

[yazzy]

Yay sil!!! Congratulations, do you have a name yet?

 

[sil]

Julian Alexander he arrived yesterday 5:39 pm 38w2d spontaneous medication free labor. It was very different from DS1s birth! Slightly hectic scary birth story but everything turned out great in the end. He is sweet as can be and we are both doing well. Eating like a champ.

 

[Camichelle]

He's gorgeous Sil! Glad everyone is okay. Congrats!!!

 

[yazzy]

He is gorgeous and so good to hear you are both well.
