Good luck state!!! :-) Sending you big hugs and looking forward to hearing your news later!
Welcome bottle - I took baby aspirin this time after 3 MCs and this one has stuck in so far, no idea if it was down to the baby aspirin or not but something certainly made the difference this time! Keep fingers crossed for a sticky one for you!

BottleRed76 · 19/12/2012 09:31

Good Luck State How exciting!!!

Alpha Were you advised to use aspirin by a consultant? I've just taken it off my own back but Dr was very positive about trying it and said she felt that in 5 years it would be used more widely during pregnancy.... Lovely Dr but she's on maternity leave now!! I got dissolving aspirin by mistake and it's Yakkkky but I love hearing about people who've used it after MCs and are well in to their pregnancies - really perks me up!

I'm taking may last day of holiday today waiting in for a parcel and taking the opportunity to be all mental in the privacy of my own home.

Both my MCs were about 19 days following getting a ovu symbol on my CBFM, which means DDay for me will be this Saturday!!! Also at both MCs I had blood tests which showed HCG levels were really really low. So, pondering over this at 3am this morning I did another pg test (the one which gives conception time) thinking that if it showed 2-3 weeks I could relax a bit......but no, it still says 1-2 weeks! Which isn't necessarily anything to get any more worried about than I already am (they're not very accurate) but not quite what I was hoping for.

Just want to know it's going to be OK this time but no one can guarantee that.

Think a mince pie might make me feel a bit better... Xmas Smile

Well done!

AlphaBeta2012 · 19/12/2012 12:29

Ohhh huge congratulations State!!! So loving this thread and all the good news recently!! Beautiful name and another lovely weight! Xmas Grin

Bottle - I was advised by the EPU to take the aspirin, but it was as a 'well you could try this as it won't cause any harm and can help'.

I asked my Dr to run a HCG check on my blood at about 5-6 weeks as well to make sure levels were rising as had simialr experience to you. Sending you best of luck vibes!

GaryBuseysTeeth · 19/12/2012 12:40

Hurrah! Congratulations State, welcome to the world Lily Super rabbit!!

Feeling very pregnant today as I've almost thrown up twice. Didn't have morning sickness with DS so this is fun.

Bottle, hope you get your 2-3 (and 3+) wks soon!
Fingers crossed you get past this Saturday without any cause for alarm.

welliesandpyjamas · 19/12/2012 12:47

Whoop whoop! Massive congratulations, state! Ever so pleased for you and your lovely little family. A lovely little girl, eh Smile How are you feeling (apart from very happy!)? X

bonzo77 · 19/12/2012 12:57

State, wonderful news! Now for a new round of worrying. You know, even with DS2 in NICU it was less of a worry than being pregnant!

gemdrop84 · 19/12/2012 13:03

Congratulations state...what a beautiful name for your baby daughter. Best wishes to you all x x

elliejjtiny · 19/12/2012 13:43

Welcome bottle. I'm 11 weeks so remember the terrified feeling well. I managed to get a dating scan last week so I'm slightly calmer now.

Good luck state. Looking forward to hearing your news.

elliejjtiny · 19/12/2012 13:46

oops, cross post, congratulations state. Lovely name, Lily is on my girls middle name list.

BottleRed76 · 19/12/2012 14:20

Thanks Alpha, Gary and Ellie
I did post something a few hours ago which has vanished! How rude!!

Spoke to the Gyne ER where I went during my MCs and they are happy to do bloods if I want. Going to have a little think and go in Friday morning. They'll also do an early scan at 6 weeks if I want!

I also just found this which made me realise how amazing it is just to get where I am now. I should try and enjoy it rather than worrying about what could go wrong.

MrsReiver · 19/12/2012 14:46

HUGE congratulations State Family, and welcome to the world Lily. I'm so, so happy for you!
