Immune/NK issues - aka Pred Thread no.20!

Great news sheepy! Best way - get them told off officially!!

I'm busy updating my little spreadsheet on you guys (😂), and adding little heartbeats next to all the new babies being baked ❤️

Not entirely sure what that means harriet... but anyway nothing happening with me... the usual aches starting to signify ovulation upcoming (I suffer badly from ovu pain so can literally feel the little blighter pop out!)... not getting jiggy yet... this weekend marks Phase 2 of baby making quest

I'm wondering how stuck is doing?

Well things should be sorted at work, and I sadly made a formal complaint against a staff member being a bitch before I went sick it is being investigated, but said person is off this week and it is calmer and no atmosphere.
I do wonder why some people are in this job as they have no compassion I have had a lovely shift and spent time actually talking to my residents and the 'difficult' ones are usually the ones that like to have a chat someone to talk to. And someone that treats them as a person not a piece of meat..
not having so many effects of the predisnolone now that I am taking omeprazole along with my meds.
Hopefully will have my appointment with professor quenby soon but I have my Willow centre appointment in 3 weeks. Enjoying the snuggle time with hubby a lot at the moment

Yes twiglets!!!!
I strongly recommend acupuncture girls. The lady I see has a wonderful holistic/supportive approach.

Oh oh good article Tee, I'll buy some tomorrow!
Smashed some twiglets today, hope they count 🙌🏼

Thanks all for well wishes 😊

Sunny thanks for the update, you're so close to the big finale! How exciting :)
Hope you manage to get more sleep before the little bundle arrives.

Poppy what a great idea! Geri Halliwell had a baby at 44, naturally conceived with help from acupuncture! Think Celine Dion did too so it must be really effective ⭐️

Did anybody here the reports on B3 last week? That's tomorrow's brekkie sorted 😋

What a week!

JustLa, this is great news, I'm so pleased! So close to reveal time, how wonderful!

Goes to show how many scary situations turn out well. Very encouraging.

I have just scheduled in fertility focused homeopathy/acupuncture with the women who cured my childhood cold sores and some weird giddy spells I used to have. She's a registered osteopath too and has an approach that blends with western medicine. The apt will be two weeks before DP and I will be trying again, so hoping she can give me a boost.

Have also been talking to my accountant about self employed maternity allowance and looking into how having a baby affects my tax estimates, etc. The Law of Attraction!

Great mantra poppy, one I will try to remember over the next few weeks.

So glad your scan has gone well just

Sunny* lovely to hear from you! The sleep issue must be so exhausting, but perhaps your bodys way of prepping you
The next 7 weeks will fly by!

I'm currently sat with Tallulah having fallen asleep on me (which rarely happens these days) just thinking about how truly lucky I've been. There were dark days when I couldn't even date to imagine that I'd have moments like this. All the pain, heartache and stress is soooo worth it

Awesome day for this thread!! Congratulations all round 🌈🌈🌈❤️❤️❤️

Hi all, just dropping by quickly to let you know it's a hat trick!
Good news here, baby looking good and measuring a few days bigger than it should this week (this seems to fluctuate) strong hb, was dancing around on the screen like crazy and this was all on an abdominal scan, yay ❤️❤️❤️

Xx

I did and I am trying to see if we can do something similar in our home, as I think it would benefit them

Poppy that's a great phrase to keep in mind. Will try to remember it as my anxiety is starting to ramp up since recovering from the stomach bug.

Harriet that's wonderful news!! Yay! Hoping you can feel at ease for a while now.

A very happy day for the thread :-)

Sunny so lovely to hear you're doing well. I can only imagine how it must feel to be in the third trimester and caring for a toddler... Knowing the baby will be there soon! You're doing an amazing job x

My motto from previous therapy sessions is "separate thought from fear." Often when you "think" something is going to happen, that makes it seem definite, but actually you don't really think or know it, you just fear it and that doesn't make it real x

This thread is moving so quickly I can't keep up with everything going on, its so nice to see it very active with lots of support for each other as it went very quiet for a while!

Fab news seeking on your scan and at least you know why you have some spotting.

Also great news for everyone else getting good scans and hearing a hb.

Fingers crossed to all those still ttc - keep going it will happen.

As for me i'm 33 weeks tomorrow - strangely over the past coupe of weeks i'v started to feel more anxious - probably the most anxious i've felt this whole pregnancy - i think its because i'm now nearing the end i just want to make sure the baby is all ok. Up until this point i've been fairly relaxed and kind of what happens happens. I've also not bee sleeping that well - even though i am tired, its either taking me ages to get to sleep (the other night i went to bed at 9.30 and was still awake at 1am) or i go to sleep straight away but then wake up at midnight for a couple of hours. Its fustrating when i still have to work and look after an 18 month old! But i suppose i might as well get used to it!

Thank fuck! What more is there to say!!!

Here's to everybody meeting & passing those personal milestones!

I've been getting heart palpitations when I get a notification that someone has posted!

Omg brilliant news!!! 🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼
Seeking, it must be reassuring to know that what you thought was instinct was instead, worry. Hopefully you can use that to help calm you next time you feel edgy 😊😊
Harriet how wonderful, a heart beat! The first time you get a hbu is so amazing, this pregnancy was my first too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes Harriet!!! Amazing!!! x

This is fantastic!

I'm so glad for you both, Harriet what great news seeing an early heartbeat! Seems early heartbeats are a new trend in this thread, between you and Drttc! Fab!

Seeking, great that you have an explanation for the bleeding. Hopefully thIs will help your nerves as you get through the next milestone. Sad to think about twin possibility though, I suppose it's one of those things we will never know and possibly in nature are not supposed to know. My second pregnancy showed 2-3 weeks when I was actually just under 2 weeks. My hormone levels were the high end of normal; I think the digi ones set quite a low threshold.

Looking forward to your update, JustLa x

Ahh that's great Harriet!! You must feel so relieved!! And a heartbeat!! It's so amazing isn't it, that something so tiny can have a heartbeat! Fingers crossed for a smoother ride from here on out.

Just want to get to 10 weeks then I think I'll be able to believe it. We lost mc4 at 8+6 so that's a horrible milestone

Interesting... well thank goodness they aren't worried and it's just one of those things. I'm really happy for you! I can't imagine being 8 weeks preg! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉 enjoy it hun!
