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

[Bluetinkerbell]

started new thread! we do talk a lot, don't we?

New to this thread, but just to say hello and nodding when I read all your posts. Really hoping for some happy news for everyone soon :)
TTC after a MMC (16weeks) in May...no joy yet! Becoming slightly obsessed now eek and being told to relax and forget about it, nature will take its own course blah blah...now thinking about it more!

Hello Dachs! Was wondering where you'd gone. Congratulations, that's absolutely brilliant! Well done you and Mr Dachs!

Green and Mel, hope it isn't AF but implantation bleeding instead. Screaming might help, though, if you are somewhere not too public.

Razz, how did you get on at your scan? Mine went very well - baby bean has grown the exact amount required and was measuring exactly 8+5, so bang on. The technician said she could see the heartbeat, but I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't (I feel like Rachel in Friends going I can't see it!). I took her word for it, though, and DH's, who said that he could see it and then later confessed that he couldn't! I keep thinking of baby bean as 'she', and it might well be a 'he' - I need to learn to think androgynously.

Sorry, meant to say hi to the newbies!

hi kite welcome here! :)

too glad your scan went well!

too really glad your bean has sprouted some more and that the scan went well. Mine also was good, measuring at 6+2 today, so 3 days out but they tell me their machine measures smaller so may be smack on next time!! They are going to rescan me in two weeks just for reassurance which I thought was jolly nice. I am so VERY sick now but actually feels good in a weird way
Hi Dachs congratulations on your BFP.
green and blue I really do hope that AF stays away
Hello to mama5 and kite

razz yay for good scan and double yay for another one in 2 weeks :)

Yay for you, Razz! Hope the sickness lets up soon. I'm feeling queasy just now but that may well be related to the chipper I had for tea (bleurgh). It seemed like a good idea at the time...

Fab news Razz and Too excellent. bet u will both sleep tonight.
Welcome back Diffed brilliant news. Fx for you x
Sorry for all about to get their AF x
Hi Kite and mama welcome.
Knackered Tuesday is our long day at work grh... But Wednesday finish at 2 so yeh!!! Seeing my MW tomorrow pm at drop in clinic . My consultant recommended I see her more often than once a month for reassurance at this stage but try and get an appointment ; NO CHANCE !!! So after work traipse miles out my way to " drop in" with all the non workers who could see her at anytime!!!! But hey ho !!!! Stop whinging Louise!!!! Love to all xx

welcome newbies!

too did laugh at your Rachel from friends comment. Good news about the scan though.

You too Razz

fx for you and me blue but Im not holding on to much. Think it might be full blown tomorrow just have to see, been an upsetting day to be honest.

Kite dont no why they tell us to relax its just works in the oposite direction and makes me fret more.

Hi Kite im so glad that your on this thread i remember when your loss happened! time has gone but i know the pain of the loss hasnt! i understand about TTC and trying to relax it dont work but im trying to not get consumed with it all!
Congrats= Too & razz on the scans its reassuring that all is well!
hope everyone is ok, i hope to get to know you more when i get a chance to read back!

Hi Girls, Glad yo your scans went well too and razz.

Hi to the newbies, mama I'm looking forward to getting to know you too!

Well I am so far managing to stay relaxed this month with the ttc, although DF is jumping on me any chance he gets . I know it's not going to be our month as he will be away during the golden time, ah well at least we are having fun!

angel yay for the early finish today, hope the midwife app goes well. How far along are you now?

Hi everyone, sorry I have been quiet lately had a busy time and was out for the day yesterday on a barge trip. It was really nice but I was so tired last night! Lot's to comment on from yesterday, will try to remember everyone.
too and razz yay for good scans and well behaving beans! I have my 12 week scan today, am so nervous!
green, blue and mel sorry if you do get af but fx you don't, hoping for a landslide of synchronised bfp's x
jane you carry on having fun, it's the best way to tackle this ttc malarkey x
Welcome back diffed yay for your bfp! I thought when you hadn't posted that you may have needed some time away x
Hi to kite and mama hope you get your bfp's soon x
Hope I havent missed anyone out, oh hi to angel too!

After a upset day yesterday crying that it wasnt fair I want to be pg! Nothing really happened, just a bit of spotting, the same this morning. Now its CD29 and I usually (loosly termed) have a 33-34 day cycle (before pg) Now I have had one since that was 29 days. I have had cramping this morning but not a lot and usually Im doubled over with af cramps! My body is playing silly beggers with me, if it is implantation bleeding then great, but to be honest I would rather have a full blown AF or a BFP. So now Im going to be obsessed with whats going on (like Im not already) AND RUNNING TO THE TOILET EVERY FIVE SECONDS, why cant this be easy. I resided myself that yesterday was the start of AF and I was going to start a massive keep fit regime this morning (as work starts tomorrow) and now this! Im so messed up at the moment WHATS GOING ON!

Hows everyone else this morning?

Green I guess we have stupid bloody bodies! Frustration seems to go hand in hand with ttc. Hugs to you and hope you can chill out a wee bit. I'm having really light cramps occasionally but no spotting or anything else yet. As much as I say I'm not trying to think about it, it's constantly there. On a plus point, we had a visiting from my BIL yesterday and my gorgeous nephew. He's 3 days older than Ruby and his eyes light up when he sees me which is such an amazing feeling. Sounds ridiculous but it feels like he knows what's happened and there's a bond between us. (5 month old genius). But then what mans eyes wouldn't light up when they see me?????

Sorry I'm just picking myself up from rolling about the floor laughing!!!

Hope everyone else is ok. Really pleased to hear about the positive scans and care that you're all getting. xx

hi girls, been away in the lakes for a few days and my signal on my phone has been non existant so just catching up now.
dachs welcome back and congrats :-)
blue and green and mel fx this is still your month
too and razz yay for the scans
ciwi good luck for your scan today
kite and mama welcome
jane i think having fun with the swi is the best way :-))

sorry if i missed anyone. i am now on asprin and going to see the consultant 8th sept (on my birthday) and hopefully then i will hear the heartbeat.

Yay for the good scans and boo for the AF or impending AF. FX for anyway that needs it! :) It's really frustrating when it doesn't show up properly. We went away briefly to Venice and I ovulated about 4 days before we were due to go, so didn't expect AF until after we got back as I've always had a nice 28 day cycle, ovulating about day 14. AF shows up the day we went. :( Stupid body. And then it stuck around for 10 days, really heavily.

I find the early bit of pg v v hard, as I don't get any symptoms so I have no proof there is anything going on. I don't get morning sickness. (or haven't with my early mc or the twins). I'd love some symptoms. I'm on progesterone, so I'm not sure whether my body is just deciding that it's so used to having it now that it's not going to react, or whether it means there is something fundamentally wrong with me that means all my pregnancies are doomed, but I'm hoping I'm just lucky.

mel nephew sounds really adorable! :)

ciwi Good luck for the scan today.

oops forgot split big congrats, freya is a beautiful name. Enjoy every minute

congradz split on ur beatiful baby girl ,, had my scan the ova day babys in thr right place everything ok .. had midwife didnt like her at all she was soooo rude think i mite just stick with consultant .. got told i got white blood cells in my urine could just b a urine infection...it was my birthday sunday found that really hard all my bro n sis were over with their kids and it just made me think that ben would of been 4 mnths n he should be here .. on the good side i decorated a massive cork pin board with all his pictures n memorable stuff loooks great.. hope every 1 ok xxx

Good luck Ciwi x
Jane thanks work busy but ok. Just seen my MW all fine I m now 30 weeks, 5 days. Whoo!!!! 6 weeks to section date. I m actually finding it much harder now physically and emotionally as feel there is so much more to loose now. I don t think Ant & I would cope if we lost GILS now as we re still recovering from loosing Georgie at such a late stage. However, we plod on 1 day at a time as we have for the last 11 months since October. Trying to focus only on the positives.
Good luck for forth coming scans . Lovely to hear so much good news on here.
Hi all. Too tired to list everyone but sending my love xx

vicky good to hear from you and good news about the scan! I would complain about the midwife say you would like to be seen by another, its your right. Did they put you on antibiotics for the infection?
I know what you mean about milestones like that, I suppose they will always be there.
Still no show here just a little brown slodge! TMI. This sucks!

FX for you Dachs Im sure its all good.

Hi again, scan was great, put me forward 3 days so I am now 11+5 yipee! Little bub wouldnt stay still though so got a rubbish pic, not really bothered in the slightest about that though, thought it was funny. On the other hand, I didn't get to see the consultant again, just a junior. I was so upset as she was rubbish and said they would see me for a scan at 20 weeks! so much for keeping a close eye on me and the consultant said I would get a doppler scan at 16-18 weeks but she said not. she also said the next scan after 20 weeks would be 28 weeks when I lost ciwi at 24 weeks! I am so frustrated and have been promised so much more than that from the consultant, she just didnt seem to be able to deviate from the 'normal plan' and didnt consider the fact that I got pre eclampsia so early. I went on at her and eventually she booked me an appointment in 3 weeks time when she knows the consultant will be there. Aaaarrgghh, sorry for the moan but I am just so frustrated at having to fight for everything this time!
green really sorry about your af, it is just cr*p. Really hope you get your bfp soon x
vicky I still find family gatherings hard and Ciaran would have been 1 this coming October. Yay for the scan though x
angel 30 odd weeks already! Like you said things are good right now, try not to look to far into the future and remember this is a different pregnancy, gils will be fine, she has a special angel looking out for her x

ciwi Yay for good scan! :) But boo for the crap service.

angel only 6 weeks to go! Wow! :)

vicky Good that you had a good scan, but the mw sounds crap. I agree with green about asking for a different one...

:)

Ciwi, they ought to be bending over backwards to give you good service! I'm being seen by a consultant every 4 weeks from now on and will have scans at least every 4 weeks. You deserve the same, particularly around the 24 week mark when you will be especially nervous. Sounds like the junior didn't know enough about either your situation or how women in your situation ought to be dealt with. Would you consider changing consultants if this one can't even be bothered to see you? Glad to hear you got put forward, though - that's 3 days more that you've done without noticing!

Green FX tht it's only implantation bleeding!

Angel, wow, nearly 31 weeks! Take it easy and try to rest lots - when do you start maternity leave?

Vicky, yay for the scan but boo for the MW!

Shakey, how far along are you now? I'm on aspirin too and so are a couple of other people (Angel and Cheese, I think).

Mel, hope the cramps are bean-related and not AF! Of course all men's eyes would light up on beholding you! Duh!

Hi to everyone I've missed!

ciwi good for you for standing up and shouting for your rights! Yay sister but boo that you even had too, I think I would complain about it to the reception desk, or ask to be seen by the consultant not the registrar.
Cant beleive you and vicky got bad service today NHS needs a slap on the back of the hand. Dont they relise that it makes us more stressed which cant be good for the baby!

First day back at work tomorrow, have to go in half an hour late and have a chat with the boss at his request so not sure what is install for me. Met a work colleague today first since I left for Mat leave. It was really good seeing him, he gave me a hug and said all the guys had missed me. And have all been asking when Im coming back. So makes it a little easier for tomorrow. Still a bit nervous especially as my body is all over the place with this is it af or not ma-lar-chi!

too the consultant I am under is an expert in pre eclampsia so I kind of need to stay with him. I do trust him (when I see him) and I am hoping it was just unfortunate coincidence that he was not in clinic this time and last, apparently he was on holiday today but I have been reassured that he will be in clinic in 3 weeks when I go again. Hopefully I will get a proper plan then.
Good luck for work tommorrow green, hopefully your boss is just looking out for you.
