I almost put this in arts and crafts, seeing as how we talk about crochet as much as we talk about babies!

Scan day today Loops??

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 20/02/2017 07:49

Yes, very early location scan at 2pm, to rule out ectopic.

Today's test, 5+1, think will stop testing now 😊

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 20/02/2017 16:00

Scan all good, he said uterus is very tilted and high so not easy to see and can't rule out 2 but he definitely saw one sac in uterus all as it should be 😊

Imps9 · 20/02/2017 17:15

stop testing, my arse!

Great news Loops!!

Is it just me TTC now??

keepitgoing · 20/02/2017 18:33

I suppose it is imps, you lovely loon. Not that we are using contraception...

Fantasticloopy will keep brooking for you

BeedlesPineNeedles · 21/02/2017 05:21

Fantastic news loopy :o :o will you have another scan in a couple of weeks to check for a heartbeat?

No contraception here either (not a lot of sex though!) At the moment I think I'd be happy to stick with 1 rather than go through all that stress again. But we're saving all A's clothes etc just in case.

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 21/02/2017 06:49

Thanks all.

So your turn next Imps 😉

Yes, have a scan booked at Worcester 2/3, should be 6+4 then so fingers very much crossed that all is ok then, as I've not had a MC after that stage. Not that that guarantees it's all ok and could still be chromosome issues but odds would be better then if we see a heartbeat as my MMC we never saw a heartbeat, it just stopped growing.

Sounds like all 3 of you wouldn't say no to another baby lol!

keepitgoing · 21/02/2017 11:56

For us it's more that it would seem ridiculous to use contraception ESP since as with beedle there's not much sex, and I've never got pregnant myself. I think we'll use nothing for a couple of years but once any potential age gap too big we'll just draw a line, and rethink.

You've no more frosties, have you beedle? You're right it's a tough old road, but I expect you'll have more energy to think about it all in say a year. I promise I found it all very different and easier second time round, but appreciate that I was v lucky first time with kip.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 21/02/2017 15:38

We still have 2 frosties keep I'm just not sure we could go through the stress of pregnancy again - I think we had about 6 weeks that were relatively stress free in the middle once I could feel her moving and before we knew about the placenta previa! But on the other hand I'd probably regret not trying with the frosties. Definitely no decision made yet and at least if we're using frosties we don't need to worry about me getting too old, though I wouldn't want a massive age gap. A is actually a pretty easy baby, I'm not sure we'd be so lucky again!

Imps9 · 21/02/2017 19:51

Ahhh well I suppose you do need to actually do The Sex to get diffed - we've done it just twice since B-B arrived the first post-episiotomy The Sex was not the most lovely experience I have to say

At the moment I feel like I'd be very happy just to have B-B if DC2 doesn't appear, but I know that when the second NCT babies appear I will feel pretty sad. But I really can't expect to be this lucky twice in my life. B-B is just the biggest delight and also a very easy baby. I can't believe how lucky we are to have him.

Imps9 · 22/02/2017 09:59

How are you feeling today Loops? My morning sickness kicked in at 6 weeks-ish (27th Feb in fact, which if I recall correctly is the day that you got your BFP Beedles ??). Blimey, seems like a lifetime ago.

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 22/02/2017 11:04

I'm just wishing my life away until 2/3 when the next scan is. Feel c tired and having big chunks awake in the early hours of the morning where just can't get back to sleep. I've heard pred masks sickness, so I may not feel anything. With the boys I didn't really get morning sickness, the worst I felt was queasy if I got out of bed before I'd drunk a glass of milk or eaten something. As long as I didn't have an empty stomach I was ok. So not expecting any sickness this time.

BeedlesPineNeedles · 24/02/2017 14:29

Blimey imps I didn't even remember that (I had to check through my photos!) I did however remember that ET was on the 19th.

Totally understand the wishing time would go faster loopy, that was us this time last year.

A is now the proud owner of a passport, and has had her first taste of something other than milk! They suggest that babies should taste foods from 4 months here. I'd like to say it was a lovingly prepared, home-cooked organic delight. Instead it was half a teaspoon of plum, apple and pear from a jar!

keepitgoing · 25/02/2017 12:08

Brooking for loopy!!

Beedle I'll be sad in a way to give f food. I like it being all milk-powered, all me... Plus weaning is quite a pain ime. Ah well I'll have to in a few weeks as he's 5 months already

Good memory imps. Gosh, a year

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 27/02/2017 19:44

6+1 today, 3 sleeps until scan. And to add to stress levels i have a job interview on Friday that I'm really struggling to prepare for, need to cram but brain isn't cooperating!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 01/03/2017 12:25

Good luck tomorrow loopy and hope the job interview goes well too

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 02/03/2017 13:27

Scan went well, did an abdominal one which surprised me and heartbeat clearly visible. Back in 2 weeks for another scan.

Imps9 · 02/03/2017 19:50

Yessssss Loops!!!!!!!!!

BeedlesPineNeedles · 03/03/2017 05:34

Wonderful news loopy :o :o Good luck with the interview!
