CPP & IUI pregnancy thread

Hey guys, I had my scan this morning. Saw a little pumping away at 130bpm    Only problem it was measuring less than it should have at 6w1d and I know for sure I'm not that early on. But it is a +/- of 5 days so hopefully at the next scan it should be right. The scan also showed a bleed next to the sac but at this stage it's not affecting the pregnancy and hopefully should just resolve on its own but again it will be checked at the next scan in around 2 weeks. So more waiting and twiddling thumbs for me!

How is everyone else doing?

Hey gals, well finally I've managed to get on, don't know what was up with that. Kelly awesome that you saw bubba's heartbeat, neat feeling aye. Woohoo on the scan on Wed Frankie, I'm thinking my tum is already getting bigger, probably bloating. I spent most of my weekend in bed, had a bout of vomiting Sat and felt yuck for the rest of the day and on and off nausea Sun, feeling better today apart from getting DH's bugs and now have cold.
Chickielou, that must have been so scary about the stroke, so glad everything turned out fine though, certainly wasn't easy for you aye.
Hope everyone else is well and happy.

OBTW - It's my birthday today... don't think will be getting any presents this morn as DP has been in bed sick (unless he was super organised, but I think not) But I'm happy.... I already got the best present for my 38th (arrgh!) b-day... our BFP    

Gosh that reiterates that this TTC journey has been so much longer than expected... had DD at 34, when turned 36, decided good time to TTC#2, still giving enough time to go for a #3 if we felt was right to do so. Funny how life sometimes has other ideas..

I know I would be struggling with this b-day a lot if didn't have our BFP. Am going to really enjoy the day knowing we have the little secret of #2 on the way and hopefully the next 6 weeks will fly by and all be fine

Love to you all xx
Hope you have a great day too

Happy birthday Buttons, sorry I didn't get on yesterday was just full up with this cold so spent most of my day in bed, same as today..
I'm sure the coughing actually feels like it's straining down below, hope it's all ok though. .
Hanging out to hear Frankies scan news, Chickielou will def be getting a 12 week scan. MW appointment next week so all going well we will hear hb, so then just another 2 weeks to go through for the 12 week scan.
I'll pop back later to get Frankies scan results.

I’m so glad it all went well, Frankie. I remember the weird feeling of seeing wee Bubby squiggling away, but not being able to feel him move yet. Time will fly, it won’t be long till he/she is making your tummy jiggle

Happy belated birthday, Buttons! I hope you had a good day, and that DH comes through with the presents later when he’s had a chance to get out.

Not long till your scan now Asics! I’ll be hanging out to hear how it goes for you, all very exciting.

Hi girls, Kelly that's a really good sign that things are going along nicely, although some woman don't get it so weird, but everyone I've spoken to say's it's good.
I love chicken fettucine, DH makes an awesome one, but yeah I so know what you mean about having things that are not going to taste bad coming back up again if that's the case.. I'm going to have scrambled eggs again for dinner (I'm always having eggs) they are so easy on the stomach I reckon and DH makes great scrambled eggs.
Isn't it bizarre Frankie that bubs is obviously having a good ole time inside and yet you can't feel it yet, weird to say the least. Be neat like hopes says to have that reassurance when bubs kicks. LOL I know loads of woman say that when it gets to the end it's not a nice feeling when everything is all so tight and pushed out.

Wow that's so cool Hopes, yes we moved the date three times, first Oct this year (just as well we moved it he he he), then had Jan and then thought in Feb this year, the weather is so much settled and warmer that we would have the wedding in Feb.

Yep, please do let me know the recipe, it's such a common dish it's weird I've never made it.

Mmm... mince and cheese pies. I've become a big fan of pies this pregnancy - I dont' think it's cravings as much as the fact that I wouldn't buy one from a warmer just in case. Before I would have bought about one a year, but now I'm not allowed them I want them all the time So I've taken to buying the frozen ones I can heat myself. To, you know, make sure I'm not missing out

I had a miserable day yesterday - not something I can go into details about on the internet, but it was a sucky day and I ended up at home in fits of tears over it. And of course, I even felt a bit guilty for feeling so miserable when I've got so much, with this precious wee Bubs (I know so many ladies who would give up most anything else just to have that). (He is very sweet, by the way, his wee kicks were the only thing cheering me up). But, onwards and upwards, and I'm almost looking forward to work - I'll get to take my mind off things, and will treat myself to a brownie for breakfast (that's a sure way to make anyone feel better).

Hey all,

Asics hope you are feeling okay - am sure everything is fine. I know how scary this stage is becuse you are so close to 12 weeks but not close enough aye hun! Good luck and will wait to hear how your midwife appt goes :)

Just had to share....maternity bra's........rock! I needed some new bra's plus I read somewhere that the earlier you get into them, the better because the underwire restricts the bloodflow or something and is not conducive to helping the milk flow...so I went shopping on the weekend and got a couple. They are SOOO comfy and they actually make my boobies look smaller which is GREAT cos mine are too big as it is (thankfully they don't seem to have grown at all so far during the pregnancy!). They aren't the prettiest things but who cares, DH can just deal with them Just feel way more supported and way less sore with them on.

Tomorrow I'm into the 2nd trimester, cool!

I watched a brilliant programme on Vibe (sky channel) last night, it was called "from here to maternity" and followed Australian couples going through the last few weeks of pregnancy right through to the actual births of their babies, and them taking them home. They even showed a caesarian and a water birth which was quite interesting (camera was angled from the Mum's head, not the other end!). It was just so awesome to watch the emotion of the couples and I am even more excited now about having my bubs!! DH was really interested too and got quite teary eyed when one of the babies was born :) I think it is a series so if you have Sky watch it next Sunday at 7.30!

Hope all are well xx

can't wait for you to have your scan and know all is well. Glad the sore boobies have come back. I know how nerve wracking it must be for you at the moment, wishing away the days until your scan (although yay that you get to hear the heartbeat first as a reassurance!).

I feel really confident now, I know things could still go wrong but the chance is so minimal that I'm not going to stress anymore. Its a nice feeling
