With angel babies in the sky, some of us expecting rainbow babies, others still ttc and definitely swi!!

cheese turn the ratio around, you have a 600:1 chance of a perfectly healthy baby! (I think I got that right) Is the ratio also including blood results?

Went back to the gp today with ds2, he's got a chest infection, so anti-biotics and more steroids for his asthma. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Has anyone had nuchal results yet? I got a letter with mine in this morning and it was 1:600 which isn't high risk but it feels high to me :(

green I've not heard that about sesame seeds, why are they risky? I just drink decaff now really. Hopefully you didn't miss ov completely, fingers crossed.

August hi, so sorry to hear about Jacob. We lost our little girl at 37 weeks, Scarlett.

jane I agree, this thread is amazing and has been so helpful.

Hi Augustmoon, I am so sorry to hear about your little Jacob. Eight weeks After my Zoe fell asleep my friend gave birth to a little girl, so I know how you feel. I was very nervous about meeting her but it was fine, in the end I was so relieved that she made it safely into the world.

This is a great thread, the girls are so supportive and here for the hand holding when it is needed. I really do wish you well and all the luck in the world with your ttc journey.x

Hi Blue, so sorry to hear about your baby girl.

We don't know what went wrong, I have my counseling appointment with the consultant at the beginning of October, so will get blood test results back but we chose not to have a pm, it wasn't something we felt we were able to agree to at the time. I hope they can tell us something, it's been a long wait. I had a fall at 33 weeks and keep thinking that might have had something to do with it but I don't really know.

Good luck ttc this cycle I don't know where I am really, I stopped bleeding less than a month ago, after I had Jacob, but have had another really small "period" last week. It's early days though...

Hello girls, I've not posted on here before but have been watching this thread. Its given me some comfort, the support you give eachother - I think you are all amazing.

I lost my perfect baby boy, Jacob, at 35 weeks pg in August. I'm doing ok most of the time now but think about him constantly and what might have been. The sadness and pain hasn't gone away but I'm feeling better able to cope, ready to post on here and hopefully join you all on your journeys.

Two of my best friends are due to have their babies at the beginning of October and I just found out another friend has just conceived after lots of failed attempts at IVF. I'm so happy for them all, a bit worried about how I might be when I see them with their babies but ready to cry some more.

At the moment I often feel like I just want to be pregnant again but its very scary, I've lost all confidence. My DH says he'll support me whatever but I think he really wants to try again so I think we're just going to see if it happens...

I just stopped my DH from drinking coffee as I had heard somewhere that its not good for sperm. I might have made it up but caffinene isnt good for you anyway.

Morning girls

cheese I hope your DS is feeling better, poor wee guy!

I know what you all mean with taking risks during pregnancy, with Zoe I was very careful to avoid everything on the naughty list.
DF has just informed me he has stopped drinking alcohol to help with the ttc and in turn i should stop my cofffee. I only have one coffee in the morning, will this be hindering our ttc attempts?

cheese hope your DS2 is getting better.

Im good kind of chilled as I think due to the arguement this past week me and DH have missed ov time. So got nothing to stress about other than shit we missed it! Anyway DH is out riding his bike round the Isle of Wight all 70 miles, and weve just had a huge thunder storm with lots of rain, poor him I hope hes not too wet!

I spent all last pg being very good, pg vitamins, no alcohol, if DH heard about anything that could harm the baby I wasnt aloud to touch it this included sesame seeds! Never heard of it myself but he wouldnt let me eat anything that might have sesame seeds in it.

Too yep same, I was pretty careful last time as it was after crap pregnancies but this time I'm scared of everything!

Been to out of hours with ds2, his asthma has been worse so we've got some steroids for him now and see how he gets on. Was up for hours in the night with him and the poor thing is so tired, as am I!

How is everyone today? x

I know what you mean with the risks. It's like being scared to have even one glass of wine this time, or to dye my hair even though it is horribly two-tone. Those are the things that I was less worried about last time. I dyed my hair in the second trimester (home dye kit, not in a salon), and I would have one glass of wine when we went out and now I'm too scared to do anything! Oh, and I wasn't so good at taking folic acid last time either. I did take it mostly, but sometimes I would forget.

Too I'd seen the No Brooking thread and wondered about it but thought it might be just for the people from the conception threads, I'll have to give it a look. I've started posted on a GD one but it's fairly quiet. Yes, too hopeful is a good phrase! I envy their innocence in a way as you said Angel, the innocent part. I worried about maybe being a little be too "real"? I don't think that's the right word but I can't think of what I want to say. I think that usually in pregnancy the thought of losing your baby after the first few months doesn't even cross your mind really, it didn't mine and I'd bring a little part of that with me; the what can actually happen.

I sometimes read of risks woman are happy to take in pregnancy and I wonder how but then I'm now just jaded I suppose and the risks aren't really that much realistically. As I've been there and done that, as have we all, it seems very much more likely to happen to me again in my mind. I don't even know where I'm going with this now and am rambling so I'll stop!

I've been posting on the "No Brooking" thread in Ante-natal - it is a bit more realistic, as many of the women have had miscarriages or else took many months to conceive. I couldn't post on the March thread - it was too hopeful! I noticed a thread in Pregnancy a wee while ago for women who had suffered mcs or stillbirths, but I haven't posted on it yet. Two threads are enough for me right now!

Cheese I don t post on the ante- natal threads. Not interested and couldn t stand to listen to all the innocent ramblings, afraid I may say something to " ruin" their innocence!!!
Too I m fine , thanks. Like u I don t go to ante - natal classes a bit like " being there done that!!" again I couldn t guarantee I wouldn t keep my mouth shut!!!
Hope everyone's ok? Love to all xxx

Too he'll be in plaster at least 4 weeks, has to go back for an x ray then and take it from there. Hopefully he'll have healed and be able to have it off but we'll have to wait and see.

Has anyone else posted on the ante-natal group for their due date? I've looked at the March one on and off but not really felt able to post on there. I did when I was having Scarlett and it was so nice when I was able to just enjoy it after the "magic" 12 weeks but now I feel like I'd just be doom and gloom. I'm hesitant.

Hope you're all having a good day xx

Cheese - poor DS2! Hope it gets better soon (and the infection as well!). How long will he be in plaster for?

Blue and Mel, make the most of the while you still can! I have developed a craving for something like prosecco and I am grumpy because I can't have it. I could send DH to buy some, but then he would have to drink the rest of the bottle on his own and it is an unnecessary expense. Plus I am not entirely sure about drinking even one glass. I know one glass won't do any harm but there's a little part of me going what if...

Ciwi, glad to hear that the bumps and babies went well. Hopefully you'll make lots of RL friends to meet up with when bean is here. I am considering going along to my local group with this goal in mind. I am a bit unsure about regular ante-natal classes this time around - I would probably feel a bit out of place and I'd be worried about freaking the poor little innocent first-timers out!

Hi Angel and Razz - hope you're both doing well!

blue sorry AF arrived but I'm glad you're being positive about it.

too I think it was you that asked before, but I'm due on March 17th, wouldn't go that far though and definitely not now I have GD and on insulin.

Mel he's ok at the moment, playing the wii with his brother and sister :) Anything to keep him still and leg raised at the moment! Doesn't help that he also has an infection and can't stop coughing with it and asthma, might need to head back to the drs on Monday for anti biotics. Fingers crossed for you

Angel Seemed to take us ages to conceive this baby, 6 months I think, that's not long realistically but it felt like forever after losing Scarlett. This baby is due in March and she was born and due in December. Everything going ok with you?

ciwi sands group sounds good, must help to be able to chat about everything. We're waiting on nuchal scan results, well the bloods, the scan looked ok but it's a combined one with bloods that the hospital does now.

green we both felt a bit stressed at times when trying for this baby, it felt like we were having sex because we "had" to, especially as I didn't know when I was ovulating so we ended up just doing it every other day all cycle or most of it. When we both spoke about it and said how we felt it did get easier. The month I conceived was the month I first used the ovulation monitor though which is odd.

razz have you managed to take the meds or are you trying without? Hope the sickness goes away soon

Good luck Mel and blue xx
Cheese hope your little boy feels better soon.
Mel & Blue I have read about a lot of " rainbow" babies being born around the birthday of their siblings. As you know. GILS is due 8 days after Georgie's birthday.. Seems to happen a lot. Xx
Hi all; hope everyone is well?? Xxx

Cheese hope the wee man's doing ok.
Blue I think this is our month. I feel really good about it. I did discuss with DH that if it is then the due date will be roughly the same as Ruby's was. He said that we need to look at that as being a good thing as this baby will have a big sister looking after it if that happens.
We went out on a date night and he was so excited about it. By the time we got home, I'd had a bottle of wine and crashed out in the bed within minutes. Oops that's not good practice!! Think I needed that kind of night though. I've been reminded that I really love wine though!!
Have a good weekend everyone xx

Not been around as ds2 (4 years old) broke his foot on Thursday :( we were in a&e until late just thinking it was a sprain but went to be on the safe side and it's broken! Poor thing :( He was only jumping up and down in the living room (carpeted) and went over on his foot and broke it.

He had a temporary cast put on and we took him back yesterday for a proper one. He's in pain but seems ok with calpol and is being so brave. He can't weight bear at all on it so we've loaned a wheelchair. Having to carry him up the stairs, to the toilet etc and basically wait on him hand and foot!

Will try and catch up later on, hope you're all ok xx

Everyone says that to me also ciwi to the extent that today I havent felt quite so sick so started to worry it means something is wrong. Can you believe it!!!

Hi everyone,
razz I hope your sickness gets better soon, it's not pleasant is it? Everytime I felt sick DH said good because he felt it was a good sign - grrr everytime he said it I would say I know it's a good sign but it still doesn't feel nice!
too it's funny that a few of our DH'd have felt the same about us getting pg again isn't it?
angel enjoy your weekend, I am working tommorrow so only have sunday off really
green hope you have a good heart to heart with your DH tonight, either that or just jump on him - lol
Well, I went to my first sands bumps and babies group today, it was really nice and one of the girls is 14 weeks along too. It's a small group so you feel like you can really have a good chat. I only made it for the last hour though because I had to go for bloods and the wait time was an hour and a half! Not happy but had no choice but to wait as I need the results for clinic next week.
