[lackaDAISYcal]

Hi everyone.....roll up here for your passport to check your knickers on an hourly basis

thanks kaz1967 for the advice think i need to shut down the brain and chill out! thanks for responding though good advice i'm fine but will watch for the signs.
Hope all is well with you.

Hello everyone, all ok? What's new? Am supposed to be working but can't stop thinking about impending scan...... Also had my first cup of (decaff) coffee in about 2.5 months - couldn't stomach the smell before. It was yum

Hello ladies,

It's been a while since I've written on this thread aprat from the message to Winky girl though I do read it alot. Just over 10 weeks to go and it's only in the last few days that I've let myself believe that I'm going to have another baby soon, feeling a bit nervous now about how I will manage with 3 but feeling even more ecitied about meeting my new little girl. My girls are really excited and feeling as impatient as I am and keep asking when she is comming out.

uly I hope everything is alright. I think it would be pretty obvious if you got an infection after having the stitch in. I had three and didn't have any infections with mine.

Jules, I'm always so happy for you when I see things are going well for you! I was really nervous about my 20 week scan even though I hadn't been when pregnant with my other babies. Good luck and I hope you have a great veiw of your wonderful baby!

good luck for your scan jules

yes all the best Jules

Everything crossed for you Jules- I was exactly the same with my scan (which was at 24 weeks in the end...) and it all turned out well.

Know what you mean goingfor3...we're at the same stage and it's only now that I feel I might end up with an actual baby in (possibly less than)10 weeks. I get giddy every time I go into the nursery!

Hoping everything went well Winky...

And sending positive vibes and big hugs to those in need...

Been away so better go off and catch up properly!

had scan today.
showed yolk sac but nothing else.
estimated that i am 6 w +2 days according to size of pregnancy sac.
going back next Tuesday.

think next Tuesday they will just tell me that there is nothing there and to expect mc any time.

should be baby plus heart beat by 6 weeks.

Oh donbean

Jules I had my 20 week scan today. I was soso nervous before. I knew rationally that baby was fine cos I am being regularly walloped, but I was scared of all the things they could tell me were wrong. I wasn't like that with my dd, but then again I hadn't had m/cs, bleeidng etc before dd so.....
You'll be fine! Enjoy seeing your little girl on that screen!!

Hi laydeeeeez
WINKYMAMA so exciting - the champers news not the birth . Can't wait to hear all the (non)gory details
Jules Hope all was good today - so fab to be able to feel her kicking I'm
Donbean and Scully extra special hugs to you both - sounds like a bloody nightmare - the waiting is hard enough and once one thing has gone wrong you can only expect the worst - life can be so cruel and it often seems that some people get the brunt of it - I really hope this is not what you think (my 7 week scan - which I now know was 7 +3 was rubbish - just a smudge of a jelly bean that was pulsating so perhaps you are just early?)
HIIIIIIIIIIII to everyone else

p.s. ALBS come on give us the details - you mention the MOMENTOUS scan like was water off a ducks back - gimme more

lol Popsy. Well I had my scan. Was terrified. Sonographer was v efficient, kept telling me all was fine etc. Got a decent mug shot of baby (other scans have produced pics of dubious quality due to uncooperative baby!)!!! Not sure what else to say.....

popsy, that's what I saw on mine last week (at 6wks dead on), and I've been very fearful since then that things aren't right, so that is reassuring.

dondons, try not to worry too much and I'm keeping erverything crossed for you {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

scully, much {{{{{hugs}}}}} and sticky vibes for you too.

ishy, glad all was OK with your scan . Did you find out whether it was a pink or blue one?

jules, wishing you good luck for tomorrow xx

JULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! what time is scan?

hugs

Just saw ALBS pop up on Active convos so thought I'd Pop in to wave at those who know me - wow ! ALBS and Jules 20 weeks . Glad the scan went well ALBS and good luck today Jules.

Hi Popsy and everyone else who remembers lil ol' me..(EllieG, NH - you can't have long left ??? again) still stuck over on conception... sigh.... Hospital appointment in a few weeks to get things moving at last.

Hello wheely!!!!! Hope your hosp app goes well.....

Fingers crossed for your next scan Donbean, are you having blood tests as well?
I saw my gp yesterday, she has scheduled another scan for Thurs next week and she took more blood yesterday. HCG is increasing but not doubling. Have only gone from 4200 to 7800 in 6 days. Still within range but should do that in 48-72hrs.
I'm trying to be optimistic but not feeling overly confident to be honest.

Is there anyone around this morning? this MNer needs a bit of advice.

yes had blood tests last week, just the 2.
Friday 12,000 on Sunday they were 19,000 so almost doubled.
no more blood taken which i am glad about.
feel very pregnant.
going for another scan next Tuesday, till then just waiting.
conflicting messages are driving me mad tho.
Sonographer seemed positive but then mw said that "unfortunately we should be seeing a baby and heart beat by now"
so totally pessimistic.
Dont know what to think.

Hi all, congrats about your scan Popsy. Glad all is well, I have been thinking of you over the weekend so was really glad to hear everything is as it should be!

Ellie, if you are scared of the birth I would really recommend a couple of books I have reaad. One is Lamaze: Giving Birth with Confidence and the other is Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin. Fear of labour may make everything much slower and more painful. These books have really given me confidence (I am even looking forward to labour now!)

You might want to try a hypnobirthing book/CD as well (I am reading Marie Mongan's at the mo) - it just gives little hints and tips that might be useful. When you read of all the African women giving birth in fields you think "well, it can't be that bad can it!"

Sorry you are feeling a bit in limbo DonBean - all I can say is keep venting on here and fingers crossed for next week. 6 weeks does seem v early for a heartbeat though.

4 weeks to go today - Neenz you have made me realise how unprepared I am....think I'll be scouring amazon for some of your books this weekend!

Jules - hope all went well today
