Happy New Year everyone - may 2013 bring everyone lots of luck, BFPs and healthy babies.

wilde a little boy - how lovely.

Had another bleed on Monday - very sudden and fresh red blood. Contacted EPU straight away and earliest they can scan me is on Thurs. Was not very happy but hey ho. Bleeding settled down - brown spotting now so very similar to my bleed at 6 weeks so hoping all ok.

Just as I was beginning to relax into this pregnancy . . . . .

Hello everyone, just a quickie to say a delayed Happy Christmas and I hope everyone is doing OK. Wilde, it's wonderful that your pregnancy is going so well. Two boys, how lovely! They will be such good friends.

AFM, I'm 24+3 today, and feeling very relieved that I've reached official viability, even though I know my little girl would be very poorly if she was born now. I'm really tempting fate by buying baby clothes in the sales, but I am resolved to be very positive from here on in so I've bought quite a few things. It'd better be a girl now though!

WildeRumpus · 29/12/2012 10:14

hello ladies, just to say that I hope you all had lovely christmasses and wish you all new year conceptions! :)

I am sorry I don't post much any more. I do lurk now and then but tbh I feel weird spraffing on about my pregnancy because I remember how painful I found other pregnancies after mc. Quickly tho, am 20 weeks now with a wriggly little boy :) So lucky!

I hope if nothing else that people can take heart from the fact I had three mc's in a year (after a healthy, problem free pregnancy and birth with DS) then boom, this mite came along. Am still nervous... but the scans show a healthy baby and I get regular kicks so have to admit I am more relaxed and actually, today after the scan, I am actually happy and starting to bond properly.

I would like to thank you all for looking after me when I was so down after the mc's and ttc. It meant the world! Thanks

backwardpossom · 28/12/2012 17:19

Hope you feel a bit better today, jolly? I'm shattered today - Christmas comedown I think. DS is still as high as a kite... I'm 30 weeks today, can you believe it?! 9 weeks to go.

Jollyb · 27/12/2012 21:30

Hi all - hope everyone is recovering from the chaos of Christmas.

Had my booking appointment today - the midwife had a horrid computer system which meant I had to answer a series of yes/no questions for every bloody MC .

Feeling lousy at the moment. Sickness has returned big style. I know I shouldn't be complaining but I don't do nausea! I had a couple of days of feeling better over Xmas (which of course freaked me out) but now grotty again. Not looking forward to work tomorrow.

Anyhow enough moaning from me. Hope you're all well

Merry Christmas everyone! You're all fab!!
lol, jolly - the toast story made me chuckle Xmas Grin I bet there have been loads of Xmas 'announcements' throughout the land, some more well received than others Xmas Wink

Jollyb · 25/12/2012 09:10

Merry Christmas everyone!

All I can say is thank god I'm pregnant as stepsister decided to announce her pregnancy over the dinner table last night - fiancé proposed a toast to their unborn child. Hmm. Could have been a very difficult moment.

HJBeans · 24/12/2012 22:31

Just a quick Happy Christmas, all. Many holiday thanks for your support over the last few weeks. Hope you all have the lovely day you deserve tomorrow with friends and family. Xx

Dorita75 · 23/12/2012 20:50

Ah bugger, a christmas present you certainly didn't want mrshp At least 2013 can truly be a clean fresh start though, new year, new babies!!

MrsHerculePoirot · 22/12/2012 19:50

Glad the scan went well littlespade.

AF just arrived here, just in time for Christmas... Grrrrrr.....

backwardpossom · 21/12/2012 23:51

Glad the scan was good, spade!

I'm 29 weeks today... Feeling very uncomfortable at the moment as between out for a meal with some colleagues and am stuffed. Ugh!

LittleSpade · 21/12/2012 18:31

Just checking in to say that I had my scan this afternoon and eveything is fine - all measurements looking normal Smile

Baby was fast asleep though despite lots of poking by the sonographer and had its legs crossed with the cord between them so we didn't manage to find out the gender - guess we'll be waiting then!

MumTumWanted · 21/12/2012 10:21

Just checking in ..
Hurrah for all the great positive news on here Grin Its such an inspiring thread I hope we give hope to all those that have suffered the terrible experience of mc xxx and strength to those when we need it most.

Lurcher how's you ???

I'm feeling very strong movements now but has only been for the last week or two at 23+2 now so I was beginning to worry ...as its my 2nd dc it's thought h feel earlier but didn't happen in my case ..... But it's amazing the sanity it brings. GrinGrinGrin

Can't believe that when I told the close family after my 12 week scan they were all excited about buying stuff and in my full metal jacket I told them all not to even think about until Xmas never for a minute thinking I would get that far and yesterday my mums trying to plan our first shopping trip now ' the time is nearly here' its lovely in one way but petrifying in another ....,

Kiddicare has just opened at lakeside I did venture in scared myself and walked out in a cold sweat !

Gingerbread and chocolates anyone ??? Here's a huge plate full dig in ladies Smile

LittleSpade · 21/12/2012 09:48

Sorry for not checking in for a while been crazily busy at work and still got one more report to write/issue before the end of the day!

Huge congratulations on your new arrivals bonzo and state! Grin - state i can't believe how quickly your little ones birth has come round!

Also yay to HJ and Jolly on your positve scans and to cheese on your amnio results and little girl. When's your 20 week scan? Also when's yours wilde* or did i miss it?

Hi to tas - for some reason (and i'm sorry) but i had kept forgetting that you're at the same stage as me, wilde and cheese until i've seen you on the May thread again recently. Yay for your good 20 week scan and little boy! Hope you feel better soon.

As for me, i have my 20 week scan this afternoon. Suddenly got really nervous about it last night and am really strongly trying to just get on with my work mumsnet and resist the urge to get my doppler out as the poor little thing will get prodded and poked enough later and i only listened in a few days ago and everything was fine then. Just getting really paranoid after my previous mmc and becuase I've not felt any movements yet. It is my first pg to have got this far and at my 12 week scan i had an anterior placenta but i feel like i'm one of the only ones left on the May board who hasn't felt any movements yet.

Jollyb · 21/12/2012 08:55

Sorry to hear things aren't looking positive Mrs HP - but it's not over yet.

I agree it would be a good idea to see your GP. It's best to be proactive and get yourself in the system sooner rather than later.

Hope everyone's ok
state hope baby lily is behaving for you.

Dorita75 · 20/12/2012 23:21

Go for it Mrshp we're 18months ttc with one mmc, and it was my high fsh result that got us the appointment at hospital. I'm 38 in February so think that helped. Not got all our hopes pinned on treatment but just reassuring to know we're 'in the system'

MrsHerculePoirot · 20/12/2012 19:24

So nice to read everyone's good news. Especially HJ's first time for a happy scan.

I did a test yesterday and it was negative. Today I have my pre period headache so reckon AF will be here tomorrow or Saturday. I think I'm going to follow dorita's lead and ask Gp about options. It has now been two years since TTC DC with one mc midway through.

Mrsd77 · 20/12/2012 16:48

Hi tas thanks for asking.... I feel terrible!! Hopefully in a good way though as I've been ever so sick for the last few days. Got to the stage where I'm having to run! Hoping I might shed a few pounds before I pile some more on!

Feel a bit stretchy today and a smidge more blood. Can it be linked to being dehydrated does anyone know? Just had another blood test to check hcg.

Great news on your scan beans, there's nothing like it!!!

Moominsarescary · 20/12/2012 16:16

Hi everyone, just a quick line, 32 weeks here. Have an appointment for the stitch to be taken out in three weeks!! Shock

Hope everyone is ok and big congrats to state and mrspear

Xx

Jollyb · 20/12/2012 10:54

beans so happy to hear your news. Apart from my first pregnancy with DD this is the only time I've seen anything positive on the scan too. Finally sinking in that i might end up with another baby. Having a mini metal today as feeling less nauseous but I think part of my nausea has been worry about the scan.

dorita onwards and upwards. Glad the clinic are moving things forward for you - bet you'll get your BFP in the next few weeks now .

Bought my last present today hurrah. One day of work and then Christmas begins . . . .

mrshp any news yet?
