April 2013 Babies

I think I can hopefully join this group too ladies. I have a son who turned 2 in May and we lost a baby in Feb this year (missed miscarriage at 12 wk scan) followed by D&C which has been very difficult to deal with. We have been trying ever since and I finally got a positive test last Monday!!!! I'm just trying to take things slowly this time and not get my hopes up. I don't have a GP appt until Saturday and will wait until middle of next week to go for a blood test. They reckon the baby we lost died at around 6 weeks, so if we can make it to 7 or 8 weeks, I might be able to relax a little.

Gapling - fingers crossed for your scan!!!!! I have a good feeling for you :)

Congrats Speck & Secret - and thanks for the plug for Birthcare. I think it looks really lovely - not having the epidural option is a bit daunting, but I think I'll get by.

I know how you feel Speck, trying not to get your hopes up - it's really hard though, isn't it? At 5 wks it already feels so real... how could it not stick? I've already told way more people than I should - most of my office know, plus immediate family and a couple of other close friends. Terrible, I know. How have the rest of you been getting on with keeping it under your hat?

Last time, we told absolutely everyone, at like 4 weeks! Ha - I was just so confident that it would stick ya know. This time I've been more reserved and kept it to a few close friends, mostly cos I just don't want to talk about it toooo much and really just wanna get through these next few weeks.

Pinky - no I wasn't in the May 2010 group, but I did lurk in there a wee bit . Think I remember your son was a challenging sleeper, was that right? Hope he has settled down now? My boy is ok on the sleeping front but can be a real handful in other respects. Whilst I didn't initially want a 3yr gap (would've preferred a smaller one), I'm now beginning to think it might be a good idea! DS1 will hopefully be potty trained and that much more independent ya know...

OMG that is fantastic Pinky! Sleep deprivation is a killer!!! Super exciting that you are UTD again.

Fingers crossed to us all for sticky bubbas, can't wait for the next 2-3 weeks to be over!

Soccer - Oh good luck, I hope it's a sticky one. The waiting is the worst part!

Secretly - I did the same thing when I got the positive pee stick, I called hubby and said "Can you come home for lunch please?" I tried to be subtle but he could clearly hear my smile because he knew just exactly why I was calling.

Gapling! That's so exciting! Hooray for a sticky baby :) This is fantastic news.

After nearly 3 years trying we got the BFP yesterday. I've forgotten all about the emotional roller coaster we've been on just to get here. I hope this new ride goes all the way. I'm starving all the time. Anyone else?

Yay that's such great news gapling so stoked for you

Anybody who would like to join the Facebook group pm me on here with your Facebook name and I'll add you

SM - I have no idea about the GP sending through the form but it's worth a go!

I think the 2nd line can stay faint for a wee while. So maybe you are just earlier than you thought. Good luck with the blood test!

Congrats HMM!! I'm pretty hungry too. I'm eating up large before the morning sickness really kicks in and I start struggling to eat.

Oh, I must remember to go and get some folic acid - definitely not going to let them talk me into getting elevit this time!!
