Hoping this thread brings us all luck and hope xxx

blue that's great news! And good luck for the scan today. Be thinking of you.

I'm not well, I've got the sickness bug that DH had, it wasn't food poisoning like we thought. I'm going to be tucked up in bed ffor the rest of the day. Booooo.

Fan take care xxx
Orion congrats .. Glad alls well xxx
Amyboo sorry.... Your body could take a while to settle down. Like you I always had regular periods when I came off the pill & that was after 20 odd years on it!!! Then after Georgie they did settle back in to a 30-31 day cycle but it took a while due to the stress!!!
Blue yeh .... For good appt xxx
Whatever hope the abs kick in & you pick up soon. Xxx
Well, we had a lovely visit yesterday morning to our consultant & midwives who delivered Georgie ( 1 Midwive did)& Phebs. Lovely to see them ..., they love Phebs & my consultant thought I was there as I was of again!!! Not likely !!!! Certainly not yet!!! Anyhow ... Vaguely remember you have to have sex to get up duffed????
We re here at the caravan park is ok...stuff to do but so cold. Last night was freezing here poor phebs slept in her vest, pjs, 3 blankets , hat ... I had 2 lots of pjs on... ( adds to the lack of sex!!!) we don t do cold , our house always lovely & warm...,
We re off to face painting with her this am & swimming... All I can say is thank god we ve got Euro-Disney & Ibiza to look foreward to.
Love to all xxx

Yay for a good appt blue How are you feeling coming up to 17 weeks?

Boo for sickness fan this warm wet weather really is germ central

Hope it warms up a bit Angel and that Phebs enjoys face painting and swimming

I don't know much about GD cheese I think they are just testing as a precaution. Would there be any symptoms? Hows Ella now?

Off to see consultant shortly - looking forward to hearing her hb. Hope this horrid cough isn't affecting her.

Hello everyone, haven't been on the thread for a while as I'm also on another conception thread.

Just wanted to say I've got my bfp! 8 months after loosing Jacob at 20 weeks. Weirdly due date is 17th of feb, which was also Jacobs dd. Although I know this will probably change when I have a scan.

Xx

Moomin YAY YAY YAY! Congratulations! x

fan and wtw hope you both feel better soon! I'm still coughing as well, been over a week now...

amy yes! everything in Belgium is expensive (except for beer and cigarettes joked DH ) if you want me to send you some internet cheapies, let me know I'm coming over to Belgium beginning of August to visit my family and my sister who will have hopefully had my nephew/godson by then...

angel hope you can keep warm! enjoy your holiday!

I'm 17+2 now wtw and it feels strange, trying not to think too much about it, and then it suddenly hits me that it will be Sterre's first birthday next week.
And then I get scared... that everything will just be a repeat from last year. Trying to be excited about the scan this afternoon, but those first few moments I will probably hold my breath...

Fantastic news Moomins Wishing you a calm and uneventful pregnancy

Blue do get your cough checked out - I was the same coughing for a week thinking it would just go away but turns out to be bad chest infection

When will I learn - always bring a book to hospital appts - running 1.5 hours late! Yawn.

oh dear! wtw I'm the first appointment on the consultant's list this afternoon, she better not be running late

I was meant to be in at 10am.....

Hello all!

Moomin, that's wonderful, congratulations!

Blue, hope today's scan goes well. I always had to hold my breath until the sonographer said she could see the hb.

I would love to come to the Sands memorial but sadly it's a bit far. Hope you all enjoy meeting up - am !

Orion, I know what you mean about hating the Sick Kids now. I hate Simpsons and by extension the whole RIE. Even seeing it on the news during the Legionella thing makes me angry and miserable. I had Maia in St John's - there was no way I was going back to Simpsons.

Wtw, I had Mais by CS at 37 weeks exactly and she was fine, didn't need any help breathing at all.

DH went back to work today - hope he's ok. The day is dragging! Can't believe it's only 11.

too hello!

wtw hope you get seen soon

moomin congrtulations, you have really cheered a sick me.

blue congrats on the 16 week check. Those numbers are awesome
whatever hope it all goes well when you're eventually seen. Why do consultants have to keep us waiting so long? I was the same yesterday and I hate waiting rooms.
moomins congratulations on the BFP
fan Hope you're feeling better soon. I'm getting to grips with the idea that it's a girl and I hate to sound selfish because I know how lucky I am to be having another baby. I think I felt (now this is really stupid) that another boy might have part of Jude's soul in him. I know it's crazy but I just couldn't help it.
too all the coverage of the RIE lately must've been hard for you. I had to take dd1 to the Sick Kids 3 weeks after Jude died there and it was awful
She was fine but I overreacted and called NHS24. They sent us up and I was a mess. The poor nurses must've had our records (or recognised us) because they were really kind but it was a truly awful experience that I hope I never have to repeat. We had to go back 6 weeks after he died to pick up his memorial box (unopened in the loft) and then again for the results of the pm. I think all of these things could've happened somewhere else. Having said that, the Sick Kids was on my running route and I still go past it a few times a week. It's like I challenge myself to do it, walking now I'm pg not running.

orion your little girl with have a part of jude in her too. Jude is in all your DC's.

God I feel so unwell, Im so weak now, been drinking sips of lucozade (I know its not suppose to help your stomach but its a comfort drink to me, we always had it when we were ill at home. my lower back is killing me, not sure if thats through the sickness, or my kidneys or a symptom? If I am pg, would this illness effect the baby?

Oh fan sorry you're feeling so rotten I'm sure it wouldn't effect a little bean though - think how much we can throw up with morning sickness. Hope it passes soon lovely xx

Hope your appt went well Blue

Waves Too - glad to hear Maia didn't have any problems being born at 37 weeks thank you xx

Eventually saw the consultant who took my oxygen sats because of my chest infection and they were low so I was sent off for a ctg to make sure all was well and it is thank goodness. 30 mins on the trace, they checked all the variability etc and it looks really good for 28 weeks. Did have a minor panic as it was a ctg that picked up the initial distress with Erin but feeling very reassured now. Off for my GD blood test in the morning!

wtw that's such good news, I'm getting excited for you.

Yay wtw! I loved being traced - I sat there watching Bean's hb and movements be tracked and it felt so comforting. I'd have spent all 37 weeks attached to the trace given the chance. Hope the GD test goes well too.

Fan, how are you now? Hope you're feeling better.

Orion, you're braver than I am! I think I would have been conflicted had Maia been a boy - I was trying not to, but secretly I wanted a girl who would be like Thea. Not that they would necessarily be alike...it's hard. In my head my next baby is a boy called Rex, whenever that time comes.

too love the name Rex, have been trying to get DH to like it also.
I'm still pretty unwell, managed to get out of bed and lie on the sofa, but I ache all over. Think I'm off work again tomorrow.
Don't usually get ill like this.

My scan went ok too today! :)
Baby was spot on for dates! Very active! The consultant really took her time to look at everything. She did comment that the stomach was quite small, and put a note on my notes to have a better look at it in 3 weeks.
She has rescheduled my 20 week scan to 2 days earlier, so in exactly 3 weeks as she wants to do it instead of the normal ultrasound department.
She couldn't see whether it was a boy or girl yet, little one was a bit stubborn, but she'll have a look at the next scan.
Got 3 pictures for DD1 free of charge :)

Yay Blue so pleased for you Hurray for an active little one and pleased to hear the consultant is taking such good care of you xx

Excellant news blue!

I'm feeling better today, just a bit weak. So still off work.

Bleurgh - just had to drink a carton of the most foul warm thick orange flavoured sugary syrup for my GD test. Straight on to an empty stomach. Must not be sick for the next 2hrs!!

Glad you're feeling a bit better fan x

That's sounds foul, wtw. Hope you get some good results.

Ew, wtw - I had that about 3 wks ago. It's gross! Hope you don't feel too queasy.
I'm just reading back now to catch up....

Ah, moomin - good to 'see' you and congratulations!

blue glad you had a good scan
fan hope you're feeling better.... Could it be ms? Or def a bug?
