Well I said I'd do it with the next CPP BFP so here it is!!! Congratulations Asicsgal!!!
Similar to the IVF baby thread, this thread is for Clomid Pill Poppers and IUI'ers who have had their dreams come true and been blessed with a BFP. We figure we're a special lot and deserve our own thread 
I hope that all the CPP gals are here by the end of the year - remember 2010 is our year of greatness!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Can't believe I am finally here, thanks for all your congrats girls, and yes hope to see all my CPP friends here soon. The phrase 'it's early day's is going to get worn out. I guess it's natural after everything to feel a bit anxious about the early stages. I know I should just enjoy it, yes Bella you will be back here soon.
Right off to bed now xxx Thanks for starting this thread Frankie, may lots of miracles start their journey's here. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Wow, what have I missed??!! Congrats Asics!!! I'll be crossing everything and praying for a sticky wee bean for you.

I know what you mean, Frankie. I haven't resolved not to moan as such (I might fail at that, I have been known to have a wee whinge from time time  ) but I have resolved to keep my attitue positive throughout. Which, frankly, hasn't been that hard so far. I mean, I'm going to have a baby! What more does one need to create a positive attitude?
Speaking of attitudes, I've been cracking up at peoples reactions when they ask "How's the pregnancy going?". To which my standard answer is/was "Really well, thanks". Back earlier on, I got a surprising number of responses along the lines of "Oh, you're so lucky not to have MS then", which was rather hard to respond to when you'd just finished hurling, or had that morning, or thought you might any minute! I had to laugh at how different our perceptions of my response were - for me, "really well" means Baby's growing, our last scan looked good, everything's going as per your standard pregnancy. I'm in a chirpy mood right now - DH broke a window over the weekend (I can't even get grumpy at him for it, he was working hard painting them). I checked, and we've got a zero excess on glass, and AMI will sort everything out with Smith and Smith for us, they'll just give us a call to sort out when to come round and fix it. So easy! (Not to mention cheap )-------------

Yeah I know what you mean Hopes, we have told a few people even though its early on for me, and they almost seem disappointed that I don't have anything to moan about as far as my PG goes so far.
I will say that at the moment I am so tired that I think I could sleep for years and still wake up feeling exhausted, however everytime I remember why I'm tired, I get a thrill at the fact that I am pregnant and have a little baby growing inside. Makes it all worthwhile
That's great news about the glass, news like that is always good. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Hey girls, wow I love your positive attitude Hopes!! Great news about getting your glass repaired. Funny what you say about people asking how the pregnancy is going, you are so right with what you've said. I'm determined not to moan about anything either, I hope and pray that bubba continues to grow and all progresses well. As much as I imagine MS is horrible I've wanted this for a long time and it means so much, if that's what I have to go through then so be it.
Symptoms for me so far is really sore boobies, I had AF type pain earlier and some stretchy type pains. I've also been really tired but that has been exasperated by getting up during the night to do wees LOL and then I can't get back to sleep. I actually had to have a mini nana nap this arvo  . Still I'm taking that as all good things as obviously bubba is growing and is zapping my strength a bit.
I'm thinking I might actually go and get myself a pregnancy ticker now, seems unreal doesn't it at this point and part of me of course still feels like I am tempting fate. Frankie are you still posting in the Nov thread?? Thanks once again for all your congrats girls and Kate and Gannet. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sounds just like me, I still have the odd AF type cramp and stretchy feelings like I've been doing sit ups or something!!! I haven't had much MS, just feel nauseous every now and then and a bit blah all round. The tiredness and sore boobs are the biggest difference. But just like you Asics, I've wanted this for so long that it is all soooooo worth it!!!
I haven't really posted in the Nov thread at all, not really feeling at home there. Do a ticker, do a ticker!!! What is your due date? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I've finally done it, got myself a ticker and updated the wedding ticker. Due date is 2nd of December but I guess my scan will give me an idea of how big bubs is. I had my mid cycle scan on day 14 so I assume I ovulated a couple of days after that. I'm still blown away, I was just so adamant there was no way I could get pregnant on a 5mm lining let alone holding it this time. IVF, I think won't even transfer at that stage. I googled lots this time round, not always the wise thing to do. I don't even know what possessed me to test, I got a faint bfp on day 28 and then it gradually got darker. I've done like 15 tests or so, really doesn't mean anything as it doesn't show you what levels are doing but it's still reassuring to see the lines. My second line is coming up before the control line. I'm going to be so hanging out for my scan, I'm still on undie patrol lol and because of my history it will take a while for me to feel safe, if there is ever such a feeling in pregancy.
Yep I can understand why you are not posting in the due thread, I've wondered about popping my head in Dec or not. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yeah will be pretty cool Frankie that bubs will be able to wear these things I've made. I actually bought another couple of pattern books when we were in Taumaranui- theres some really cute patterns, so now I'll be even more hard out on the knitting lol. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ok - so count me in here! Loving the thread. I am determined to see all our CPP girls over here!!!
Bella - I am hanging out for you to come back here asap! I had hard out hunger pains and morning sickness - but I refuse to complain. ONE morning - I have to admit I did complain - this was after I hurled up everything I had eaten (every time I ate that day) - and my DH kindly reminded me how close we were to not having kids and that shut me up straight away, I felt so guilty and horrible after that. So never ever again! I love knowing that we have a special little miracle here! I am just so excited to meet him now. I am also looking forward to hearing about everyone elses little ones!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hmm, yes, labour. I seem to remember a clause in there about having to deliver the said baby once you’ve conceived it. Ah well, no going back! To be honest, I’m still at the point where I’m kind of curious about the whole process of having the baby. As a friend said to me, if that feeling doesn’t disappear as the day approaches, it will be gone for sure by the time I’m 4cm, but for now I’m kind of interested to see what it will be like. (I know, crazy lady).
I love your new ticker, Asics . Very cute! I can’t wait to meet our baby either. He seems so real, even though I’ve never seen him or anything. I’ll be very interested to see if I cry... I can be remarkable tearless at times when I think I should be all choked up, and randomly emotional at others, I think my tears switch is faulty.
Come join us, Kelly – two is a week is spectacular! And congrats again! I hope you join us soon too, Bee – and all the other clomid ladies. Nothing makes my day more than when one of you gets a BFP. -------------

I know I will be crying. I have my mum's genes there unfortunately and pregnancy has seemed to intensify everything 3 fold!
Congrats Kelly! come on over now!!! I went to the doctor today about a small rash and did a urine test and it came back with a positive protein result - so now I am waiting to see if it is because I have a UTI (doesn't feel like I have one) or if it is something else... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I can't imagine meeting my bubba yet, I think once I'm passed the 12 weeks I'll feel a little more safe that this baby will arrive one day, and be able to start imagining him/her. I am a bit like you Hopes - not very tearful at times when I should be -so I wonder how I'll be. I know my DH will be bawling, he is super sensitive with things like this!! He even gets tears in his eyes at weddings, awwww! (and just in case you're thinking, no he's not too much of a wuss !).
I'm quite curious about the birth too. Every now and then I freak out but then I remind myself that its just one day out of my life and any other time in my life that I've had pain, I've forgotten it pretty quick. Probably not pain on that intensity but mum's do say that you forget about the pain, and thats why you do it again!!! Megstar hope you don't have a UTI, although if its not causing you pain its not so bad, I think they are easily treatable aren't they? Tears are all good, I am sure the midwives expect them!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

The only problem with a UTI is that it can bring on early labour - which is what my midwife is worried about.
Another thing about having protein in the urine is that it could mean that I am susceptible to developing pre-eclampsia. Don't really want to get that. Not so curious about the birth part. I know it has to come out - and realise that there is a lot of pain involved - but I think that if millions of other women have done it - then so can I! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hope everything gets sorted for you Megstar, hope it's not a uti, I don't know whether pregnancy hides the pain of uti but normally you know when you have that, it's dreadful!!!!
I hear you Frankie on not being able to imagine what it will be like for us, I've just seen it happen with my sisters babies and friends babies and have always thought it would be the neatest feeling in the world. I'm still going through moments of feeling like, this can't be happening, something is going to go wrong - grrrr!! Then I try to relax, all totally normally feelings though. I guess in the back of my mind I think for a second about labour but I don't really go there yet as I have so many hurdles to pass. Isn't that cool about Kelly's news, I know she will probably be feeling cautious after her losses to. Here's hoping and praying for sticky babies!! I am really tired tonight so I don't think I'll be on here to long tonight. How was everyone elses day? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I wanted to say something about your comments about being determined not to complain about symptoms. I really hope this comes out right, so here goes.
When I first got pregnant (via IVF) I felt exactly the same way but then I read some info that I was given by FA that said lots of women with infertility issues who have become pregnant via medical intervention feel they can't complain if they are feeling like crap, because they feel they should be "ever so grateful to get pregnant". It went on to say, and I really agree with this, "just because you have waited so long for this pregnancy does not obligate you to smile through it". For us CPP, IUI and IVF ladies I think that as we have all been through such a long and emotional journey, that possibly a lot us feel we don't deserve complain because they have been so lucky to get pregnant in the first place and it would seem like they were being ungrateful to admit being pregnant can be a struggle. But after reading what I mentioned above and talking to the FA counsellor about it after we had got our BFP, I think we have just as much right as anyone else to complain and you shouldn't feel ungrateful or bad if you do, because it IS hard being pregnant and you WILL feel like utter crap some days and it does help to say you feel that way and have someone say "I know how you feel" or give you a bit of sympathy. I hope no one takes this the wrong way, I just wanted to say that I think it is OK to say you feel like crap sometime. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

No, I totally get what you mean, Gannet. Sometimes you just don't feel the way you think you 'should' feel, or are expected to feel, and it's not healthy to pretend / ignore feelings. Some things (like throwing up) aren't fun, and I'm sure no-one's game to say that they are (although I can honestly say I felt some comfort in feeling wretchedly crook, because I took it to mean Bubs was growing and messing with my hormones).
I think it's more the overall outlook that's important to me - and like I said, I haven't had any trouble keeping that positive. I think that's probably a situation a lot of people who've had to try harder to have kids find themselves in once they're pregnant. Although I'm sure it's normal to have second thoughts and doubts, even after this long trying, this is a very planned and hugely exciting thing. I think as a rule we're less likely to be struck with the worry and negative feelings that come with a "was it the right time?", "maybe we should have waited?", "do I really want a baby?" kind of situation. I don't think any of the now-UTD clomid ladies I know are forcing themselves to enjoy pregnancy when they're actually miserable (I get the impression we're all actually pretty stoked). But you're right, we wouldn't want to kind of put any pressure on anyone who's not feeling that great by making it look like we have to be happy and chirpy at all times or face the disapproval of the board
As an aside, I often remember wondering if you could just 'lose' all the worry and heartache that came with TTC once you got pregnant. It just felt like too much to hope it would just disappear, and you'd be happy from then on. Surprisingly, that actually has been the case for me... but having thought so often that such a burden wouldn't disapppear with two lines on a test, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't, for some people. -------------

Gannet, I totally get what you mean and it came out right!!!
For me, I remember when I was TTC, it just drove me nuts when people around me complained about being pregnant. So I guess I am mindful of that, and knowing that the CPPers will probably be lurking in here occasionally "hi ladies!" as I know I would, I am conscious of not offending people by complaining. But at the same time I agree, if we are finding pregnancy hard then we shouldn't feel that we have to be grateful to have tough PG symptoms. Although I actually do like them so far, like what Hopes said about feeling sick meaning that things are going well, it brings a thrill to me oddly enough, he he. Hopes I know what you mean re the loss of worry and heartache once you are UTD, I used to wonder that too. It is still there for me in some ways, in particular because I'm not 12 weeks yet, and I know how easily this could all be taken away from me. But it has certainly dulled somewhat. I am also mindful that when its time for number 2, it may not be a walk in the park and I am dreading that time already!!! So its kind of there but has gone somewhat, surprised me too. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Question ladies - yesterday and today I have had a different sensation in my tummy. It feels a bit stingy every now and again near my belly button. Its not painful just different to cramps and twinges I have experienced so far.

Hi ladies, hope everyone had a good day. Gannet totally understand what you are saying and interesting that FA would print this and it is very true. Also see exactly where you are coming from hopes. I think from what I've read on certain boards it's more when woman who (and no offence to anyone) have been ttc, then get pregnant and say they wish they had never got pregnant in the first place because of how they feel. Pregnancy can be hard (and I've yet to experience ms yet) but still that is just not the thing to say to women who have fertility issues and would give anything to have a baby causing that. O.k I realise that when it sends you to hospital or becomes totally debilitating thats hard but still????.
Hope's your comments about enjoying the pregnancy early on is so hard, I'd like to say I am a pretty positive person but with 3 m/c's and the heartache associated with it, it's hard. Still on the other hand this is likely to be my only baby as DH and I are happy to have one bubba given my journey thus far and our age (me 38 DH 40), so I should just say to hang with it!! I'm even debating about whether to move my 'what to expect when you're expecting book back into our room through fear I will jinx the pregnancy. Crazy aye. Frankie don't know whether I've noticed that pain but all mine seem to be different. Funny when you don't notice anything going on you worry. Right well that is enough from me on the worry wart stuff, I am just going to have to suck it up. Hope everyone has had a good day. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hugs, Asics. I think you have every reason to worry a bit – I know I did, and I didn’t have the history of miscarriages that you have. For the first while, for me, it felt like it couldn’t actually be real – something had to go wrong (which I’m guessing is also pretty normal, given that all of us who’ve taken a while to conceive have become almost used to things going wrong). I felt a lot better after the 12-week scan, when I knew the risk of miscarriage was dramatically reduced, and also knew that there were no obvious problems with Bubs that they could see.
I haven’t had anything quite like that, Frankie, but I have had all sorts of odd sensations from time to time. Probably, you’re just stretching a bit .
It’s funny you mention number two, because I’ve thought about that too, even though it seems waaay to early (no 1 isn’t even here yet!) Despite the fact that I really am loving being pregnant (seriously – I know not everyone feels like this, but it’s like living your own little adventure on the side without leaving your everyday life), if we’re not able to conceive another one naturally and are looking at IVF, I think we might adopt overseas. I’ve looked into it, and it looks very complicated and expensive, but IVF is expensive too (just not quite so) and somehow I think I’d feel more comfortable adopting a little baby or child that will have a pretty hard life otherwise than spend a lot on creating another baby. I wouldn’t have said that before this one, because I so badly wanted to be pregnant and experience it all, but now I’ve got to have that opportunity, I think adoption would be the first track we’d look down for another baby. Anyway, like I said, way too early for that kind of thinking anyway, so I should stop rambling. -------------

I think that sounds like a really cool idea Hopes about adoption. I think it would be neat to 'rescue' one from overseas, problem is there are so many that need helping.  .
I think once I have a 12 week scan I will be a lot more relaxed. Even having the 7 week scan next Friday will be a relief to see that there is actually a baby growing inside of me with a heartbeat. I can't wait. My dad is coming to stay with us next weekend so all going well I will tell him. He'll understand that it's early days but I'd like to tell him in person. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hope the twinges are nothing. Am feeling really paranoid tonight! Questioning every little niggle and cramp I'm just so scared of what will happen if I have this little miracle taken from me, I really don't know how I would cope.
Hopes thats a lovely idea re adopting. I think we will try another IUI for #2, if it doesn't happen naturally, but I don't know if I would go for IVF, if I had one already. It just seems so involved and I cannot imagine the emotional hurdle those brave ladies go through. Easy to say that now of course! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

LOL I used to be a coro addict but haven't caught up on it for ages. Totally normal to feel scared Frankie, things will be fine. I know it's a scary feeling not to know what is going on inside our bodies at the moment.
Dad just rang to say he will probably be down in a couple of weeks now, there was something reassuring telling him straight after the scan, but I'm sure everything will be fine, being positive. Frankie I know what you are saying about not being sure how you would cope etc if anything went wrong as much as it pains me to say it I know that no matter what life throws at us we can handle it (obviously nothing will go wrong will it). Watching Mum being ravaged by a terminal illness for a year taught me that I might feel like dying inside but you will eventually come out the other side. That's probably a bit of a downer but didn't mean it to be and I am probably being too literal Gosh I am soooo ready for bed and I wanted to watch cops tonight on C4 ha ha ha!!!!------------- http://lilypie.com">

ok so this isn't a complaint. But man I feel rotten today!!! I feel like I've got a massive hangover and want to barf all the time. Reason its not a true complaint though is that I am soooo glad to feel this way, cos they always say morning sickness is a sign that all is well inside. So its a bittersweet feeling!
Had a big sleep this arvo hoping it would make me feel better but nope. So maybe MS is here to stay for a few weeks? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

That definately is a good sign Frankie although not nice. I haven't had much in that way yet, felt a bit nauseous yesterday morning but went away again. I would say baby is going through a growth spurt which is good!!!!
Nice that you got a sleep this arvo. I did all the housework and washing so hopefully I haven't over exerted myself... bit paranoid about that, still what will be will be aye. It's so hard just to be relaxed about it all though not knowing, LOL I hate not knowing things and being in control and this is one situation where you aren't.

Oh Asics you poor thing!!! I am on toilet paper patrol more than undie patrol, he he.
I had my sisters baby shower today, and must say it was so nice for everyone to be fussing over ME for a change (lots of family and family friends who know that we are PG). It was really lovely to be swopping stories with people about being pregnantm instead of always feeling like an outsider and listening to the inevitable "it'll be your turn soon". I did feel sorry for one girl though, everyone there had children, a baby or was pregnant except for her, and she is in her 30's and hasn't even got a steady partner yet. I think she is happy enough but I could only imagine how isolated she might have been feeling
Hope everyone is well. My MS was back with a vengeance this morning but died off in time for the party, thankfully! Ginger beer is my new friend ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Sounds like you had a wonderful day Frankie with your sisters baby shower, your turn in 7/8 months. I can imagine that one girl might have found it a bit 'funny',
I woke up in the early hours to go to the loo and felt a little bit nauseous but went away pretty quickly. I'm not sure whether what I have is classed as MS yet, I have moments of feeling yuck and then it goes away - so who knows!!! I was a bit naughty today and started pulling a few weeds and then it felt like i'd pulled a muscle or you know that stitch feeling so promptly stopped. Then got awfully paranoid. I'm sure I'll be fine. Poor DH he did all the gardening, he's being absolutely brilliant. Ginger beer yum, I love Franks Gingerbeer. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Try not to worry too much about stretchy pains, during my 6th week I had some really odd pains and started to worry but think its all part of the uterus growing. Good on you for taking it easy though. Nice to have a supportive DH too. I got home about 6 pm, 4 loads of washing done and folded, dinner made, I nearly fell over, DH is not normally so helpful! Was very nice.
Have not tried Frank Ginger Beer, must give it a go. I love Bundaberg or Schweppes, mmmm ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Another drink that is fantastic is the Mac Apple Drink... definitely helped me - but the ginger beer is definitely the way to go in the first twelve weeks.
My morning sickness didn't start until 9 weeks - up until then I was complaining to my OB that my only sign of being pregnant was an excessive appetite - he told me not to worry - as MS sometimes starts later on. For me it went from 9 weeks to 19 weeks. I was ILL! Throwing up just ended up being part of the daily routine. Definitely helps having a supportive DH as well! we are all so lucky in that area! Hope you are all feeling better today! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I hope the MS doesn't get too bad, Frankie - I'm glad it went away for the baby shower! I notice myself noticing people who don't have kids at things like that now too - and hoping that they're not feeling stink about it (because so often I did). Oh, and what a lovely DH . What a sweetie!
My MS started off like that, Asics. Initially I'd smell something that set me off, and feel rotton for a few moments, then it would go. When did your MS go, Megstar? Mine dissappeared gradually, but by 18 weeks or so it was pretty much gone. Strangely enough, I still have the odd bout of throwing up, but since I didn't have the nausea, it wasn't a big deal at all (funny how throwing up isn't as bad as feeling like you want to!) ETA that I'm obviuosly blind... you answered my question in your post . Sorry!
Ginger beer didn't do anything much for me. I found that crunchy salty things helped, like grain-waves and crackers. Baby has got heaps stronger in the last couple of days! I can feel heaps of kicks now (so can DH) and can see my tummy move from the outside. Such a cool experiance, I could lie there for ages just watching my tummy bump and squiggle around -------------

Ohhhh Hopes that is so wonderful to feel baby moving already.
Megstar yes Macs apple is Yummo. Wow Frankie that is impressive of your DH, isn't it amazing how they actually start helping out more, DH more or less cooks all the dinners, I'm so lucky he knows how to cook. I was coping with moments of paranoia today, was sure my boobs weren't as sore as they normally are and was feeling them just about all day today, although they were supported more today with an extra top. I find if I don't eat for a while I get a bit of nausea. I think when you are so used to something going wrong you can't work out why this one should be any different. .
It's soo hard, maybe I should start a thread asking other womans opinions who have had miscarriages and how they coped, theres probably an old thread somewhere anyway , I can't be the first. Anyhoo don't mean to be a downer. Hope you all had a great day.

Asics, there is a thread http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30935&KW=after+m%2Fc - here which might give you a little bit of an idea. Personally, I just went with the flow and thought, hey, why WOULDN'T this one go right? I did keep myself emotionally distant from the girls for most of my pregnancy though, I think so it wouldn't hurt so much if it went wrong this time as well? Freaked DH out a wee bit.... I defintiely do have my fingers crossed for you...and can't wait to hear the results of your scan!!! |

not a downer at all Asics. I don't know how you feel exactly because I have not had a miscarriage myself. But I do know that I fear it immensely, and that after TTC for so long with so many disappointments, I have had the feeling of "why should it go right for me first time" when it comes to being pregnant. Then I also have feelings such as Minik8 described such as "why NOT go right the first time for me".
So I'm sure my fear is not the same as yours because of what you have been through, but I think all of us in the early stage are fearful of losing our long awaited baby's. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Yeah I think no matter the circumstances its always a scary time. To be honest I'd never really heard much about miscarriage until I started posting on Oh Baby, however if I didn't ever come on here I wouldn't have got to know so many lovely ladies on here.
So amazing really that we get these gorgeous bubbas at the end of 9 months. I must admit that now when I see pictures of bubbas in magazines or tv or whatever I think to myself, all going well I'm going to have one of these and that is a very happy feeling and I just can't wait to hold my precious baby. It does make me feel quite emotional about the whole thing. I think that is what will get me through just thinking about that. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yay Frankie! I couldn't wait to tell the world either. I don't know how I manged to keep it to myself for that long (having Mum and Dad and a couple of friends know helped).
Hopefully your scan goes brilliantly, Asics, and you feel better after that (I found the relieved feeling that everything was OK lasted all of about two days before I started worrying again, but hey, it's still nice!) I figure the more support you can get from people who've been in the same boat as you the better - I can sympathise hugely, but like Frankie, haven't been there myself, and I'm sure others who have will have helpful things to say. Do keep venting here if need be, though - how you feel makes perfect sense, and we don't mind listening if it helps! -------------

Asics, try not to get too busy with work, I know its important but the baby is so much more important! I'm sure you are thinking that way anyway. I started to feel a little less tired last week but its kind of back now! Do you still feel tired all the time Hopes?
Gotta say I agree with Hopes, the first scan relieved my worry for about a day! Am hanging out for the next one now!! I've got my midwife appt next Tuesday so I guess she will tell me when and how. Looking forward to that. I'm starting to feel really pregnant now, am sure I can feel a little hard lump above my pubic bone, my boobies seem fuller and the MS is all just making me feel like this is real!

Frankie that is sooo cool how you are feeling. I got lots of little niggles today to, just a pulling sensation. Have started up the need again to pee during the night, which makes my tiredness worse, nevermind it's all good.
Neat that you have your MW appointment next week, is this your first with her (sorry can't remember). I can ring a MW on Friday all going well, the specialist didn't want me ringing till the scan. Hmmm wonder if that little lump is baby. Won't it be soooo awesome to have a proper baby bump. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sorry girls didn't even get a chance to post last night. Great news on the hcg levels Kelly and great to see you here hun.
Well scan all good, got to see mini bubs and good strong hb at 126 bpm. Just one little heathly bubba. Got a little pic nothing on disk so will have to see if I can scan it, can't really see alot though. She's leaving me at 7 weeks and EDD of 2 December, bubs is measuring 8mm lol not even a cm big yet. Talk about a relief, I couldn't believe it when I was looking at it on the screen, I'm still amazed really. Now just have to make it to 12 week scan now. Hope everyone has had a good couple of days. Nausea has kicked in big time which is a good thing I guess, was actually sick Wednesday night and although it was gross DH and I looked at each other and laughed because we knew it was probably a good thing. Been debating about wearing one of those seaband things but like I said to my sister having the nausea is kind of reasurring that things are going along ok. If it gets really bad I'll see if it works. Thanks for all your support and thoughts girls, it means alot. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Although in saying that she measured me at 6w 4d but said that if she did it transvaginally bub would be bigger as they have to go through so much skin on tummy which is why she is leaving me at 7w because by 12 w it all evens out or whatever.

Frankie - the two places here that do the scans print out the pics for you One is at the specialist where asics goes (they do a lot of the first trimester scanning for Taranaki mums) and the other is the hospital (they tend to do the later scans). As far as I know (I asked) you can't get them on disk. I have huge amounts of pics that got printed out for all of my scans

Good luck for your midwife appt tomorrow Frankie! I rang one on Friday and left a message but haven't heard back yet. Hopefully she rings in the next day or two. I think I'll need to meet with her asap seeing as I have a "history" of problems lol and I need her to refer me to the high risk clinic at the hospital. Had another BT this morning so will be twiddling my thumbs until around 3 when I normally get the results. The nurse is posting me out a scan form aswell so I should be able to go late next week. Exciting stuff!! Hope all the rest of you are well
Oh I was also going to say that I know it is hard posting on your Due Date threads but maybe you should still think about, even after the 1st trimester when hopefully people have stopped complaining about ms etc. You will find them invaluable once you have had bubs and you have people going through the same thing as you at the same time. You can ask any question and 99% of the time someone else has had it happen too and can give you an answer! Its great!! But yeah totally understand its hard at the moment when people seem to complain all the time!!! ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

It doesn't lesson how happy I am to be having another wee bubba! I thought that's what these boards are here for.....support, empathy and sharing mutual pg/child experiences? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
