actually, i have very real reasons to worry about miscarriages... damned isofluorane... one reason why i dont even want to try to have kids, i can imagine it would be so terrible to lose a baby... but once again, here's holding thumbs and crossing fingers AND toes for you!

Know the feeling, different situation I'm in but am now deemed high risk due to what happened last time. I'm not ready to explain as its personal. But others in the exact same position would understand.

Still have another 2 months off work, official forced "taking it easy"



First scan is in Whangarei on the 9th, watch this space (highly nervous)

UPDATE:

6 weeks ago I had a ultrasound in Whangarei to confirm the fact that I was 6 weeks pregnant. All they could tell me at that stage was that I was definately pregnant, everything was positioned correctly. But it was to early for a heartbeat.

The past 6 weeks have been absolute emotional hell!! Sleepless nights, high stress levels, anxiety, and terrible nightmares. Today mum and I travelled to Whangarei for what was to be my 12 week ultrasound. (Thank god for mums I couldn't do this without her support).
11.30am came (appointment time) at this stage I was ready to vomit on anything, everything, and anyone. I felt so sick it wasn't funny. 15minutes of waiting and I honestly was begining to become extremely agitated.

Finally my time came. I promised myself I would hold myself together but the minute this wee little bub appeared on the screen I just burst into tears.

The scan went EXTREMELY well. Fluid levels normal. Baby was the size that they had expected. Took a long time for the little bugger to stay still enough for them to do measurements!! Kicking and punching, and rolling all over the show. I can't feel it yet! NT measurement came back as 1mm anything under 3 is fantastic. And last but not least, a perfect little heart doing just what it should.

So before I came home I had a meeting with an obstrition. I can't even begin to describe how I felt being told that this baby is "low risk." The figures were all there laid out in front of me yet to me they still seem like such high risk figures.

So roll on the next 2 weeks (more tests at 14 weeks). Then another ultrasound at 18 weeks. Time I put my brave face on.

So pleased for you hon, absolutely incredible news. Keep that brave face on and the chin up.

*crosses himself up in knots for you* Love you! <3

I lost 2 babies (mid tri-mester) before I managed to carry and deliver a live one. I know so well the angst and terror and despair you go through waiting for THE scan that delivers the news you have just received! Congratulations love, may this one be struggle free and totally uncomplicated. The best words my specialist said to me after my first "you have a live and healthy baby" scan, were, Congraulations! It will take an act of God for this to go wrong.

So, do tell when is due date?

It has been a serious eye opener for me since losing my daughter as to how many women have actually lost a baby or even more unfortunately 'babies'. Women that I would just never have known otherwise. Its truelly terrible. Your left feeling hopeless as a mother not being able to protect your baby and make sure that they are okay. (Best way I can explain it even though none of what happened was ever my fault). This little ones pretty much my saving grace, giving me something to look forward to even though each day that passes I'm more and more terrified.

Due date is the 1st of October. I'm counting the days!

Helps for morning sickness (thank goodness I've barely had any this time). Don't think it'll help with feel sick from an onslaught of 6 or 7 different emotions though

UToday mum and I travelled to Whangarei for what was to be my 12 week ultrasound.

When we had the 12 scan for my son I knew it was a boy because I could see him scratching his nuts!

Congratulations by the way!

[MsKABC]

That's great news chick, I hope it's plain sailing for you the rest of the way. It certainly is emotional seeing the little tadpole on the screen huh?

[Laava]

Good news Kittie!
