April 2010 babies!

It is so unfair sometimes that it can take so long to get a bfp in the first place, but that is just the start and is no guarantee.   Lots of hugs Coopersmum.

Coopersmum - sorry to hear the news, sending big hugs your way...

Had blood tests on weds - which confirmed we're pregnant but because of previous m/c's doc has ordered serial HCG tests, so back I went today. Have another one on Monday then have an appt with the doc next week. Fingers crossed my HCG levels are rising like they're supposed to.

Thanks Karen, you just reminded me that I haven't had my results back. I'm waiting by the phone now for someone to call me back.

Bridget – lucky thing, Raro would be great.

Feeling quite exhausted this arvo.

Big hugs Coopersmum.

My ms has kicked in now. its not fun. So hard to look after Ruby when I am having trouble looking after myself! The seabands seem to be helping today though.

Hope everyone else is feeling ok for the weekend.

So jelous of all these trips to Raro. It will be so nice over there

ms has been around for a few days for me and it is very uncomfortable - I know it's a good thing so I am really trying not to complain too much but I feel so lousy, and my eating patterns are totally up the shoot!! I feel hungry so I eat and then I feel totally bloated even though I am sure I haven't really eaten that much, poor DP has no idea what to expect next

My mw is back from holiday on Monday so hopefully she will ring me and will be able to take me on again, she was so awesome last year and I really don't want to have to look for another one.

I'm so jealous of you guys off to Raro - I have no time off now until Xmas!! I am hoping that I manage, and don't get too tired - well if I do I guess I will have to cut down my hours or something. We have basically told everyone already, I wanted to keep it quiet because of last time but it is really hard to keep something quiet in an office the size that I work - we all work very close together and two of the women had already guessed that I was pg again. Also Nelson is a small place and news travels pretty quickly so it's better coming from us than rumours

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend planned, it's pouring down here so I feel no guilt whatsoever is staying curled up in bed with the laptop

thanks Bex    You poor thing ms still at nearly 21 weeks!!

I am shattered, we had quite a big week and it has caught up on me big time. Spent this afternoon in bed sleeping, yet I'm still totally without energy. Had a few words with DH about him needing to pull his weight as I am obviously struggling to do anywhere as much as I am normally able, so I need him to help when I ask. If I didn't wake up so much during the night to pee, I think I'd feel much better as I'm obviously not getting enough restful sleep.

Totally agree about the eating thing. Am ravenously hungry, but don't want to eat. So I eat (cheese and onion toasties are the current favourite), feel sick and bloated, then two hours later am starving again. I'm eating pretty healthily though, but seem to have developed a need for chocolate which normally I don't eat. Luckily still haven't had MS yet, just feel strange most of the time. ETA have just bought the wrist bands to try, so far, so good.

Went to my doctors this week for my first checkup and spent an hour there. Still trying to arrange an obstetrician, so my doctor rang the hospital direct and said "I have a high-risk pregnant patient" which is a bit frightening when someone says it out loud. I'm perfectly alright, just need specialist care, but I'm not sure if I like being called high risk. Anyway, that should get the ball rolling.

Another lovely thing happened too. Went to the clinic to have my hCG checked, and the tester was so excited I was pregnant, she hugged me. I've been going regularly, but not that much! Still made my day though.

Hi Treen, could it be a dating scan? How sure of your dates are you?

Nah, it can't be that. I've been charting for 8 months so my dates are precise. I think I might leave it till 12 weeks. I'll call them then. I seriously doubt there'd be anything to look at at 6-7 weeks. I do, however, have PCOS. Could that be the reason for the early scan? I'm more prone to MC, but I highly doubt they could tell you anything that early?
