Hello weeblyfolk
Great news from Sabs Clever girl. Hope you recover from the trauma by staring at your perfect precious baby girl.

Good luck again to Barbie and 4ever for today. Have everything crossed.

Blue and breathe You clearly coped brilliantly yesterday so gold star to you.

Curly great news about scan - a pink one will be lovely.

mermaid lol at "smelly old auntie" comment. surely going commando would make you even fresher and you have a number of new recruits too.

Speaking of new recruits I have passed our info on to a work colleague for his wife so hope she finds us here.

Cupcake any news about potential scan or are you still just finding your sea legs

MLS is coping, but won't be back on here (hopefully just for a while) I've to pass on big events to her and she is thinking of you all but the day-to-day ups and downs of the thread are understandably too much for now. Think she's planning on launching straight back into battle though so fingers crossed for a BFP before 2009 is up.

Jools Nice to hear you being a bit more chilled on the TTC front and lovely that you can get rip-roaringly drunk on your 40th.

Big waves to everyone else and special kisses for our cyber niece and nephews.

littlebellsmum · 01/10/2009 14:26

Good luck barbie and 4ever - sure everything will be fine. Got to go, in middle of meeting at work and posting!!

glad you like it lbm

4ever glad you ok!

barbie1 · 01/10/2009 17:46

had to go back to old name...just so i could upload the pics!

bluesatinsash · 01/10/2009 18:13

Wonderful news barbie . Lovely photos, baby has a lovely round head .

Hope you and your Mum are now knee deep in baby purchases from old blighty .

4ever - hope your appointment went well. We're all still squeezing your hand and ordering you to stay chilled and wrapped in cotton wool

mermaid as if you could ever be a smelly old aunt, more like head gilr from Malory towers .

Neeko - I 'spoke' to MLS on FB and as you say she is not giving up just taking time out of here to concentrate on RL. She has amazing strength and sense of purpose, let's hope 2009 finishes on a high for her...

Wonder how Sabs and babypinksabs are doing? Bet she's gorgeous with lots of dark hair

MrsKate · 01/10/2009 18:22

great pics barbie im so happy for you

im so glad curly is having a girl xxxx

BlueMoon1981 · 01/10/2009 19:23

i don't know, i go away for a course with work for 2 days and i miss all the news!

well done sabs on the arrival of your beautiful baby girl

curly so pleased you have found out you are having a girl, my mum used to call me 'curly girl' when i was little, so i am temporarily naming your lo curly girl til you get to meet her!

barbie lovely news that all is well with you and lo, welled up at the pics and looked at them slightly too long

hi to everyone else, i'm off to unpack and put some washing on. just taken the dogs out and had a chinese takeway

4everhopeful · 01/10/2009 19:36

Great news Barbie!! Pics are amazing! I want to see a pic of your bump too! Did you have 3d scan? Id def like one myself if when I get there...! Hope you can relax a bit now & let mum do her doting nanny bit! Hit that mall tomorrow!

Another big hug to Sabs & Babysabs Hope you are recovering slowly - sounded traumatic but soooooo worth it! xxx

I agree with LBM great list Iggy, I also agree with Blue - Mermaid you are far more head girl than smelly auntie - honestly love! Less of the self deprication you're far too lovely for all that you gorgeous soul!!! xx

Neeko glad to hear MLS is regaining her fighting spirit, I e-mailed her on my last day of work along those lines, it is a case of weebleness to the fullest, the more we get knocked down the quicker we bounce back & sturdier we get, dont feel it at the time but theres an element of 'f** you, we wont be beaten' glad shes slowly finding that.. big hug from me to her when you next 'speak' please xxx Hope all is well with you honey? xx Any joy on the MN at work?

Extra thanks to the ever sweet mermaid for checking in on me during a very wobbly start to the day... xxx I didnt sleep well, after being super positive I wobbled big time cos had the teeniest red spots this morning when I wiped, phoned my lovely EPU at 6.45am & left message to call me, but went straight back to anxiety ridden state of all prev pregs anyway after my lovely sonographer who's now like a personal friend called me back & reassured that they would scan today if I wanted but too early to see much & quite likely to be fine I calmed a bit & went back to PMA, I figured could be urine infection or as such teeny amount, more likely to be from excessive wiping where peeing every hour & prob a bit sore, so more external than internal, still all bravado gone & felt like a vulnerable liitle girl suddenly.. Didnt tell DH cos didnt want to worry him but we met at hosp for recurrent mc clinic at 2pm & fessed up, but by that point i was dismissing it to reassure him as well as me!
Anyway we met up with our RMC doc who was great, congratulating us & actually studied the immunotherapy treatment we had at the portland as his phd(!) he said on with the aspirin & back to the progestorone pessaries twice a day, no caffiene, no sex til 12wks & no temperature or take paracetamol, no strenuous activity & have as many scans as I want cos they really believe in the reassurance aspect being benificial. See him again in 4wks so it was all good Saw the nurse beforhand & did wee test in case of infection that came back clear, asked him about the spotting & as well, its very normal & only worry if lots (none since). As Cupcake Iv had a ton of twinges & pains, again as we know, very normal, but had none for the last 24 hrs or so & then worry why cant feel it! No pleasing us is there?! To finish off a v positive visit walked past the EPU on way out & saw our lovely sonographer & her boss to whoops of delight, hugs & kisses for me & DH & loads more reassurance. Im so blessed we have her, she has scanned every preg, I call her & get apts even tho its walk in so we dont wait around & she arranges follow ups as often as I like, when I called & told her the news last week to arrange scan for 12th she was screeching down the phone that she'd been waiting for my call for months & couldnt wait to see me & my lovely DH again. In past weve given her thank you cards & prezzie & seriously said she should be godmother whenever our LO arrives! Im so lucky to have such a great hospital on my doorstep & will not hear a bad word about the NHS! 3 cheers for Mrskate & Gracie! Cupcake if you are struggling getting a scan come to St Georges, its a wlk in clinic mon-sat, if you want more details just shout! xx

Anyway sorry for the ramble, its been quite a day. GP tomorrow to get signed off for as long as poss & then glueing myself to sofa for next 9 days (& PC obviously!)

Neeko · 01/10/2009 21:55

4ever what a lovely post. Tears are streaming down my face. you so deserve this happiness special lady. I was talking about you at work today as an example of not to give up hope. Also know that MLS took strength from your email last week.
Seem able to access MN from my computer at work but no where else - very weird but at least I keep my lifeline.

Barbie great news on the scan and some of the clearest pictures I've ver seen. Babybarbie looks a fighter, and a gorgeous one at that.

Blue Glad things have calmed down for you, hope you're right about MLS Really hope all the small panters/commando ladies end the year on a high.

LBM Lol at you posting in a meeting - sneaky

Mermaid mallory towers was one of my favourite series of books when a young'un so very fitting that you should star in them

Moon Fab to hear from you. Hope your weebling is less wobbly lately.

I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams all.

littlebellsmum · 01/10/2009 22:23

4ever what a lovely story and what a great day.

Lots of happy news on here,lets have more !!

Neeko well it was a very boring meeting!

CurlyBigPants · 01/10/2009 22:55

Prepare yourselves for a mammoth post... two hours later here I am

cupcake hope the pains have gone, try not to worry I think it's pretty normal (says the girl who panics at every twinge ). It's wonderful that you are seven weeks and 1 day today - get that scan girl!!!

Hope all our medium pants ladies are doing well. I'm so happy that the treatment went well 4ever and that you are getting signed off for a few weeks, and that the NHS are looking after you so well. This time it is going to work out, keep believing it and looking after that little one. I did find time at home crawled though so make sure you distract yourself with some non-googling activity (naughty curly has learned her lesson about googling )

iggy glad you are feeling better, I'm often the same around ovulation, which is not exactly great for getting you on form to perform I've a really strong feeling that we'll be getting good news from you soon honey I hope it is before your edd, but I'm sure it will be soon

moon It's nice to see so many smiley faces in your last post. The lovely 4ever is right, by xmas you will be up the duff. Don't lose hope honey I love your name for my little one thank you for letting me borrow it xxx

MLS I've been thinking about you. Brave lady, I hope we have you back with us soon xxx

Mermaid I love your suggestions for names for the lioncub I bet your a lovely auntie and you smell just fine to me

LBM lol at you entertaining yourself in dull meetings how are you doing honey? Are those curtains done yet?? thanks for the advice. Sometimes i need to just CALM DOWN about stuff

Has anyone heard from hoping recently. I've taken up knitting (not of the complicated pattern variety though) and think of her every time I do it

bakingqueen I've forgotten how long your cycle is? Are you on the 2ww? Hope that zen like calmness has returned

Jools hope the conversation with DP goes well and operation getjoolsuptheduff progresses well next month. In the meantime stop working so hard missus xxx

gracie I'm impressed that you still have no bump! Mine has just suddenly jumped out this week. Up to 20 weeks I just looked like I ate too many pies, now I am definitely pregnant

MrsKate and Neeko let's be getting you into those big pants soon. I got some spare stretchy ones if you like Sleep tight Neeko and thanks for the texts

Blue hope you have recovered from yesterday

barbie I loved the scan picture. Do you know if baby barbie is a girl?

How are you doing vjay and lion? Are you getting any sleep at all??

if anyone is in touch with sabs through facebook please send my love. I guess she will be in hospital for a few more days maybe. So so pleased to hear her news

Has anyone noticed that we seem to be producing big babies from this thread??? My scan yesterday had measurements against average and my little monster seems to have a big old head going on... eek

Big waves to mm (due soon yes?!!), fifi, Annie, Buddha and gingermumi and anyone I've missed

MrsKate · 02/10/2009 09:45

bakingqueen · 02/10/2009 11:09

Hello everyone.

Cupcake - got my finger crossed that everything goes well for you lovely lady

Barbie - so pleased the scan went well as I said on facebook you need to look into your crystal ball and see if you can make a prediction for the sex of baby barbie you have been right about all your predictions so far [grin

MLS- if your lurking sending lots of love your way

Sabs - so pleased to hear about your baby girl hoping your feeling better after your experience and are home soon enjoying your baby

4ever - so pleased that things are going well and that you will be able to get all the scans you need am hoping this is ther time for you xx

Blue - hoping your chilled after all the events of the last few days

Kate - hoping tomorrow goes well for you and that you take comfort in your new lo when thinking about the past

Love the happy upbeat vibe on the thread so much good news and it much deserved after the traumas all you lovely ladies have been through. Had some good news yesterday a friend of mine told me she is 12 weeks pregnant so pleased for her she has had x2 mcs in the past. She said she was scared of telling me in case she upset me, bless her x

Better go and do some housework now back later xxxxx

barbie1 · 02/10/2009 11:40

I cant begin to tell you all how much i have missed you over the last week or so...it feels like ive been in solidary confindment Ive been spending as much time with mum as possible and will be back posting as normal on tues

Thankyou for all your support yesterday and comments on the pics, i wish i could turn them up the right way
We couldnt find the scan place and i was getting all panicky that i would miss my appt, in the end we ditched the car, which i scraped the front of in my haste to park (thankfully it was dh and not mine ) and ended up running across healthcare city which is huge..only to find we had in fact driven past the building loads of times....doh

It was so weird, the room had a huge flat screen tv in which you could watch everything, of course i had my eyes closed for the first few minutes and my breathe held until i nearly passed out!

4ever the scan was across between a normal scan, a doppler scan and 3/ 4d...depending on where he was looking. 4D is sooooo strange, he could even see inside the brain! i have been given a dvd of the scan and you can see everything in detail. Shame i cant upload it.
Im so happy that you have someone looking out for you, you seem to be in safe hands. Im sure the bleed you had is nothing, remember i had loads in the first few weeks....i also cut myself when shaving down there few weeks ago and didnt realise until i saw the blood in my knickers! Im sure its just from over checking down there if you know what i mean. I have everything crossed for you that everything works out well

curly my placenta has moved now....but i asked my doctor about you! she said that she wouldnt advise any flying unless you really have too, the reason being if anything happened you would worry the whole flight and there isnt always someone on board to help you. Nothing to do with your placenta! Do what you feel you must but step away from google!

kate oh my 13 weeks already fab news.....i hope you get some relief from thinking about this lo today..you have everything to look forward too now.

Im going to finish this post later as my mum wants my attention!

Love you lots xxx

MrsKate · 02/10/2009 11:59

hi all again

just got my letter from nuchal scan and was low risk im so releived . dh has put the scan pic as his profile pic on fb too hes a proud daddy to be now xxxxx

4everhopeful · 02/10/2009 12:57

Great news about the nuchal scan Kate! Thats my next fear cos had bad one once.. Sorry to make you cry! Really pleased to hear DH is feelin proud & positive! Hope you have found a way to make tomorrow special for you, i'll be thinking of you xxx

I thought the pic looked 3/4D Barbie - must of been so magical! How long til DH back now? My mums gone to stay with my sis in worcs for 2wks & feel anxious about that even so kno it must be wierd for you - did you let mum buy some more baby stuff yesterday?! Am not worrying about that weeny spotting & do think its from over zealous checking wiping! xx

Lovely Neeko bless you crying at my post Glad to hear MLS took heed from my mail to her, I think of her often.. Yea that you can still get MN at work! Hope you have a chilled weekend planned?! xx

Lovely long post Curly! Knitting huh? What you making? Is it baby related? Big head? make sure you do the perineal massage then! Iv learnt my lesson in googling & honestly feel Iv googled all I possibly can anyway! MN only for me & lots of crap telly & catching up with sky+! By the time I get up & eat & bath DH gets in just after 4pm so does go quite quickly.. BTW any more thoughts on flying? As I said go with your gut instinct, am interested in what you actually do? Dont share if you feel TMRLI?!? xx

Lovely Jools been thinking of you lots, I was also nosily wondering what you do? You work so hard, whats the solo session you talked of? Im intrigued, but again if TMRLI then dont worry! Have you had that chat with DH yet? Its good to air it all out & I hope things work out, Im sure it will hon xxx

LBM you made me laugh posting in meeting! Thats the way to do it! Great to see you pantless & carefree! xx

Bluemoon Lovely to see you back, hope you enjoyed your trip! love your name for Curlys lo! xx

Bakingqueen good news about your friend & your healthy reaction to it! Im excited for you this month for some reason!!

Im extra tired today, having very wierd vivid dreams (Yea to symptoms! ) Also as did food shop yest with DH nausea kicked in big style (double yea to more symptoms! ). Im staying positive & have weekly preg calender that I used to sneakily peek at but when DH gets home at 1pm today will put in our recently decorated 'back room' We did room in easter, all neutral & adaptable for whatever, wouldnt get anything til week 39 tho I dont think! I did dream a few nights ago I had baby (& it spoke to me at a few days old ) but didnt have anything for it so rushed out buying steralisers & carseat!! Am debating telling 'bf's Feel quite let down by lack of sensitivity as mentioned, but on other hand dont want to hold onto bitterness or negativity for baby sake as truly believe I must be as calm, positive & cheery as poss for good outcome - dilemma?! xxx
