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

angel hugs. Hang on in there 4 more sleeps. xxx

Razz hope you feel better soon.
Blue not long to you move then? Yeh!!
Too thanks for the reassurance x
Mel when you cracking out the " big guns" ??? ( clearblue) x
Had a stressful day GILS only moved intermittently so I worried/ Mentalled all day then at 4.30 went in for a trace. All fine midwives at day unit said as long as I had felt 10 movements in 24 hrs they were happy all the Internet info says 10 movements in 2-4 hours!!! ( big difference) anyhow, all fine then my bp ( understandingly was increased) but eventually 2 hours later I was discharged. Saw my lovely Midwive ( well 2 of them) who delivered Georgie & Helen, my fav, is day off on Tuesday but is coming in to cone in to theatre to meet GILS. How lovely is that????
So, back in tomorrow am for repeat trace & 1 St steroid injection, sat am for 2nd injection, blood tests, MRSA swab then
Mon am for anaesthetist assessment. Hopefully not much spare time left for me to mental!!! In at 6 on Tuesday for IV antibiotics then first on surgical list.
Off to bed , knackered as today very stressful.
Sweet dreams all xxx

Yay for Blue! I love the idea about twins - hope it comes true.

Oooh, another BFP, Mel! Hurray! Hope you get another tomorrow.

Poor Razz, hope the sickness lets up soon.

Green, time is not running out for you - 30 is still plenty young enough to have lots of babies.

Mama, a new house for you too? That sounds lovely.

Angel, don't worry about Down's now. I'm sure if there were any indications they would have been picked up by now with the 10 scans! I'm getting really excited for you now - Tuesday is so close!

Hurray for Thursday. Only one more working day to cope with. Oooh, have just clocked the [hgrin]!

blue excellent news when are you hoping to move??
mel a line is a line so congratulation everything crossed that it gets stronger.
cheese sorry you are still feeling low, lets hope dd's parents evening lifts your spirits a little
angel I think I would also want to camp out at the hospital strapped up to monitors until tuesday. Do you and dh have any special plans for your weekend before GILS arrives??
So sorry so many of you seem to be suffering with nightmares at the moment it seems we cant even escape from our anxieties even when asleep
I am still so sick (back with a vengence). I guess the only silver lining is that I have lost 1/2 a stone but I feel so very rubbish.

Popping in for a quick peep saw good news on the house front for Blue thats great!!!! excellent news- WHOOP! new home new blessings!
i have moved and have no internet so booo no MN at the moment!
big wave to you all xxxxx

Blue Hurrah! So happy for you!

Mel yay, can't imagine what you must be feeling now - so hope it's a bfp :)

Blue excellent news xxxx

Blue woohoo!!!!!! Great news... New house then who knows what else????

Fantastic news blue, so happy for you! So when is the big move?

angel it is a nice thing to I agree and I cant wait till the wool gets here and I can crochet those squares.

Sometimes I think time is running out for having a baby which is ridiculous as Im only 30 (31 in jan) but I think it keeps coming to me because I tried for 18 months to get pg last time.
I keep having flashbacks too jane but mine are of when they couldnt find the heart beat, I went from being happy in labour thinking bubble (what we called the bump) is nearly here to, we can't find the heart beat, Im sorry and going into fall labour not 20 minutes later!

blue what a horrible dream! It seems like most of us are having terrible dreams just now. I have been struggling to sleep the past few weeks, everytime I close my eyes I keep getting flashbacks of leaving the hospital without Zoe and when the funeral car pulled up outside my house.

mel my fingers abd oes are firmly crossed for you- so exciting and scarey at the same time! xx

sorry tmi, but I have ewcm today but a negative ov test I'm a bit confuddled. DF will be home from Sheffield this afternoon so I will be jumping him!

cheese sorry you are feeling down just now, I had a bad week last week hugs to you.x

angel I honestly can't imagine how scared you must be feeling just now, sit tight and gils will be snuggling into you before you know it. xx

Cheese hi.
Blue think we ve all experienced the pain of having to ttc. It really ruins your sex life I found sex became very mundane & no fun and that's without the pressure it puts on men to " perform". You have my sympathies it's incredibly difficult. Xxx
Mel yeh!!! Fab news. Thanks , I too can t wait to Tuesday is here. Literally counting the minutes now just wish it was Tuesday. So scared all will go wrong now at this late stage. In fact, this is the most scared I ve been so much more to loose now. If I could go & sit in hospital now to Tuesday I would.
Love to all xxxx

Morning all, still feeling up and down today, it's been an odd time. Have parents' evening later for DD1 (who is off sick today) so hopefully I'll feel a bit more normal by then.

Mel ooh that's really great!! Sounds like what happened with me, line got darker over the course of a few days :) Will keep everything crossed for you.

Blue Maybe it's the stress of TTC, dh and I got a bit like that at points. It started to feel like we were only having sex to make a baby and it lost some of the fun. We talked about it and how we both felt and decided to concentrate on having sex when we felt like it rather than on specific days. Worked much better.

jane my cousin had a baby that had ds when she was about 22 I believe but she terminated about 24 weeks. Not something I could do but then I don't live her life so, not my decision. I hope your next baby will be just fine x

Angel not long to go now! I feel excited for you! x

Blue we went through that but in reverse. I just couldn't be bothered. I think when you're in our position and you want something so badly it just feels like you're never going to get it. Try and get DH off guard later and jump him when he's not expecting it. I know that I felt like we should have tried some afternoon delights so that it didn't feel like it was all routine
Angel I am getting so excited for you. I know I've only shared a few months of this pregnancy with you but I can't wait until Georgie's wee sister is with us. I'm sure she'll be absolutely perfect in every way x
I did POAS this morning and the line is there and possibly a wee bit darker (omg omg omg!) although I wouldn't call it a 'B'FP it does look like a 'b'FP. Not using the posh tests til the weekend with DH. He's been laughing at me as I fessed up about testing. Everyone keep everything crossed!!
Hugs and the likes to everyone (can't really concentrate all that well just now, sorry) xx

too I know what you mean about thinking you are safe. I am 29 (for another 5 weeks) and it was a hell of a shock when we found out Zoe had downs. I didn't have a nuchal scan with her as they didn't routinely offer them here, my blood work came back with a 1:750 chance. Nothing was picked up on the scans and it was only diagnosed through genetic testing during the pm. Zoe was perfectly healthy but just happened to have ds.

I am terrified that my next baby will have it too and I will have nuchal scan, blood tests and a cvs or amnio.

I reall am praying for you that bean is ok. xx

Thanks August xxxx
Hi Spilt a belated happy birthday to Bobbie. It's so awkward to know what to do for the best Isn t it? I hope having Freya has bought some joy back in to your life however , it will always be tinged slightly with sadness won t it? Like me you have had 2 girls & there should be 2 of them here but alas ..... Give Freya a big cuddle from me.
It seems that bad dreams are par for the course for most of us at the moment. Wishing everyone a dream / nightmare free night. Xxx
Oh & to make you all feel better I m 40!!! So , I guess officially I m defiantly high risk however, that's why both times we ve not had the nuchal test. But, I am focussing on
downs now. Think it's my latest worry I checked about the cord today ; that was fine so next worry; downs.
However, every scan has been fine and after 10 I hope , maybe, something would have been spotted if it was abnormal ie: big nose, lips, neck or heart problems.
Right, off to try & sleep.
Sleep well all xxxx

Tis ok, Spilt, am just a bit raw about the whole high-risk thing because I never thought for one minute I would be anything other than low-risk. It's like the universe looks for all these things I thought I was safe from and then goes boom! Deal with this! And this!

I would crochet squares if I knew how, August and Green - it's a lovely thing to do. Might ask my friend how to (she crochets and knits).

See you all later - hot choc is ready.
