Welcome to the group gypsynita! No probs with you hanging in here with us, I know what you mean about being at the end of a group  Let us know when you are all confirmed and we can pop you on the list (maybe we'll put you on the 1st May for now until a dating scan 
I hope the dreaded MS is still keeping away M2O and that it stays that way

Hi all,
Can I join in? Early days for me, just over 4 weeks know but got my BFP last Tuesday and have had my bloods etc done and confirmed. Very excited because it's our first BFP but worried about the possibility of MC and trying not to stress about it because there's nothing I can do - I get a bit better every day, I was sure I had made the whole thing up and wouldn't get to 14dpo :) feeling ok so far - a lot of dizziness and a bit of bloating and cramping.

I'm due 10 May too! Fx the little one hangs in there. I've decided to try to ignore it until I get my scan so I don't get too anxious about every little twinge - but OMG the dizziness!

Thanks MakeItWork
I know what you mean about being anxious BakingFairy... after losing Charlie in June I'm so nervous I feel like this is my first pregnancy - not my 4th!!
Can't wait for my mw to get home from holiday next week so I can go in and see her...

Hello, can I join in too?
I got a bfp on Friday and had a blood test today to confirm. I'm having another blood test on Friday :). I'm very nervous and hoping for a sticky bubba after a mc in may this year.
According to a due date calculator I'm due 9th May.

Same due dates Bakingfairy!! thats pretty cool. The thought of MC is always in the back of your mind but as long as you look after yourself and eat well and take care of your bubba as best you can there isnt much else we can do ay. So happy for all you ladies, looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better in the next 8 months

Welcome and congratulations BakingFairy, Smurfette88 and curlysue. Soooo excited for you CS, I really hope this is your little miracle hun, you have had such a rough road to get here (I remember you from the Charting Girls )
S88, some people tend to think that higher levels of the pregnancy hormone HCG that your blood test checks means a chance of twins but everyone is different and some just naturally have higher levels. There is no real way to tell until your first scan
I hope everyone is feeling OK and not going too crazy before their first scans. I was really nervous last time round but for now I am pretty relaxed and just going with the flow. I doubt if I will be on the morning of my scan though It looks like I will be having it on 20th September, I'm just waiting for confirmation. I will be looked after by the high risk clinic at Auckland Hospital so everything will be done there. At least I know I'm in good hands

that's awesoome MakeItWork - we were looking after by the fetal medicine unit at Auckland Hospital for Charlie and they were all fantastic! Kind of wish we could keep our OB for this bubba, but might just go up there for the 12 & 20wk scans.
Had my doc appt today - bloods should be back tomorrow so FX everything is okay! He was a bit concerned that it's so soon after my last pregnancy but oh well! Not much I can do about it now lol

hehe yeah i wasn't sure if i could do it or not but it worked yay!
We had Saul Snowise for our OB - he was sooo awesome, super understanding and didn't hold back any information like my (former)mw did. Plus he wasn't afraid to push the boundaries a little bit to make the situation easier for us, which just made such a big difference.
will you just have heaps of extra monitoring this time round? Apparently since our situation was pretty rare this will just be treated like a normal pregnancy, unless the genetics tests come back positive.

It really makes a huge difference when you have good professionals helping out doesn't it! I'm not really sure exactly how the care will pan out this time but I'm pretty sure it will just be more regular scans and then I think we'll pretty much play it by ear and see how things go. I'm just looking forward to hopefully having some positive scans that we can enjoy as I reached the point where I dreaded them last time.
FX all your results are good along the way hun xx

Hey MIW I recognised you from charting too :) so nice to see a familiar name. Sorry for your loss :(. Positive vibes going out to everyone for sticky may babies.
I'm not feeling as nervous this time round either so hoping that's a good sign. I know Ill be a wreck the day of our first scan but I'm trying not to think that far ahead.
I don't know how to update the list do you copy and past into the thread and make the change? I don't think we will find out what we are having, we didn't with ds and it was great having a surprise. He was c-section delivery so I'll probably have elective with this one too so another surprise will be good.

To update the list you click on quote (top right of the last list post) and then amend from there. You just need to remember to remove the quote brackets from the very start and end of the post it creates. If you have any trouble though I can just do it for you
I'm really glad to hear that you aren't too nervous hun, I'm sure it is a good sign and will help everything go perfectly for you this time. It's exciting that you are going to have another surprise, I like the idea but I'm too much of a control freak and want to be able to plan ahead as best I can

Welcome to new May Mummas to Be!
CurlySue it's awesome you aren't feeling nervous! I am just a bundle of nerves! I feel close to tears so often it's insane. Feels a bit stupid considering I've had just the one miscarriage and two normal pregnancies either side of it (I actually had a "friend" tell me I have no reason to worry because it's only one miscarriage not more) but I can't help but worry. I have a terrible head cold which admittedly is not very enjoyable, have also had wicked hip pain and lower back aches. Not fun things when running around after a 3 year old and a 1 year old. We have in the last week bought a new dining suite, coffee table x2 (ones smaller), buffet cabinet, entertainment unit, TV, Playstation 3 and Ipod dock so I think we can safely say thats our big spending over and done with until we need to start collecting things for Little Bean. We sold all our baby stuff before leaving NZ and my youngest is already in a toddler bed so will be getting this baby new stuff. It's such a nice change to be able to afford nice things than struggling to make ends meet like we were in NZ!
MakeItWork- we will DEFINITELY be finding out the sex, like you I am a total control freak and must have everything ready in advance. Admittedly that's going to be hard this time round as we live in a three bedroom house and the boys have too much crap to share a room and we have NO room in our room to put bubs. Our lease doesn't run out until April 25th and being due May 1st that doesn't leave much time to get things done! At this stage bub will be in the hallway!
Sorry for an epic long post haha
