Hello ladies, I am back for what I think might be a long (ish) post, after a busy week and no internet connection for most of today. Once again, thank you all for cheering me on. I?ve only been away for a couple of days but I feel like it?s a lot to catch up with.
Viv, I hope your scan yesterday went well, let us know how you are.
Catlady, how is the househunting going? And when is your scan next week?
Allstars, I am happy little Frankie is recovering and you are well. No worries about not being able to post, it?s good to hear from you though.
Mishta and Cantdo, it?s lovely to hear your voices and I?m so happy Bella and Little miss Cantdo are happy and healthy. I remember when I was only lurking and reading back in here, Mishta had just had Bella and Cantdo was about 32 weeks pregnant. Where does time go?!!! Same for Katie, you were not 24 weeks yet when I started posting on this board, and now it?s so lovely to read about you and Felix. He is absolutely gorgeous, I loved the photos.
Drama, last time I have seen my mw (about 16 weeks) she struggled to get a clear heartbeat, but the rate was 140 bpm too, she managed to catch it in the end. Our little ones are so tiny still and there is so much fluid around them? I?ll keep my fingers crossed everything goes well on Tuesday, you sound so positive though I am impressed.
Mooms, I completely understand why you are anxious although 6 weeks is really early. I was only starting to get mild nausea around this time in this pregnancy. What you describe are real symptoms though, but I agree that with our history we worry about everything. And every pregnancy really is different, my nausea has not been so bad this time. If you are not bleeding it really is a good sign. I would try to get an early scan if possible, even if just to put your mind at rest until the nuchal. Can you speak with a mw as well? In my area, they do the booking in much earlier if you had a previous loss, or if not you might be able to give them a call?
Poot,thanks for checking in on me. I am ok. I am enjoying feeling relieved while it lasts. I know we?re not out of the woods yet, but the prof?s attitude was so positive that we have taken heart from this. Even if my heart has skipped a beat just as I was writing this and I am still terrified that anomalies in the brain will start developing between now and 21 weeks. It is possible even if highly unlikely. It?s taken some time to sink in that for the moment nothing seems wrong with Coffeebean, and when I came out of the scan room I just sank on the sofa and sobbed. I still feel very emotional actually.
What a mammoth post, somebody shut me up! I hope everyone is well, hello to Gina and Numpty as well, and also keeping my fingers crossed for Kittens and Mimsy, I hope this is your lucky month! Big hugs lovely ladies xxxx
