Calling all BFPers since June!!!

MissyAnne · #1 (**permalink**) 09-07-2007, 12:01 PM

I'm making an appeal to all of you ladies who have gotten BFP's since June to come back here and give us an update on how you are all doing with pics of u/s's or belly shots for all of the members here to see!!

We've all been such an awesome support system and I know these ladies who are still TTC would be very interested to hear all of your stories to this point and how you are feeling etc!

Plus they've been listening to me drone on for months about my pregnancy so I think it's time to mix it up a bit and bring some of you back to give us updates!!!!

I hope you all are still checking this board and will update us!! Love to you all and I hope you're having wonderful pregnancies!!!

Hey!
I do still check in here. But I have not been posting b/c I didnt know if I should.
I would post some still when I was pregnant with my son in the TTC after loss board back a couple years ago and a person sent me some nasty pm's telling me that I was being inconsiderate and said all sorts of mean things. So I have been hesitant. B/c I truely didnt want to hurt anyone.

I have been checking in on you ladies often. I want to see how all is going and I am so very much sending all you babydust vibes!

I will be 6 weeks on Sunday. I am a nervous reck. I have banned dtd. B/c everytime we do I have spotting. I told dh he had to abstain for 2 months. He was ok with it b/c he is concerned about the baby.
I just dont want anything to happen to this little bean.

My first appointment is on the 25th but its going to be the one where we meet with the financial person to go over cost and insurance stuff. I would love to be able to squeeze in a little u/s but I doubt that will happen. They do u/s routinely at 12 and 20 weeks so that means the end of October and then right before Christmas. So maybe we will find out the gender for Christmas!! I hope!
My daughter has been so excited about the "baby in mommys tummy" she come up and pets and pats and kisses my tummy. She also INSISTS that its a girl! lol
My son has no clue and does not understand why I dont let him bounce and jump all over my tummy.
Oops gotta go, im babysitting my sisters kids and the baby just woke up crying. (Ill be looking in on you girls!!!)

May - I have though about this from time to time too.....But I just could not stay away!!! Now I am even more worried....I truly hope I have NOT upset anyone by posting over here and keeping in the loop with everyone.

I am doing well....still very stressed and tend to worry too much I think but I am guessing that comes with the territory. I have a quite a few symptoms now: Tired, Tired and more tired, I get waves of feeling extremely ill but have not had to get sick yet....yippy, my chest is now very sore (this is the newest symptom and just started this past Sunday at 5 weeks), sore lower back, cramping (sometimes I sill worry but no spotting to date, so I have to believe I will be ok) and the other thing I have notice is my sense of smell is crazy sensitive.

I get to go for an early U/S next Friday (it ended up getting moved from wed to Fri.); I will be almost 7 weeks and am very excited. My beta numbers are not showing a multiple birth but the cramps I am having makes me wonder and think that maybe there are two little beans in there trying to get nice and snuggled in tight. One more week and we will have our answer either way. We will be ecstatic no matter what

I hope you all get your little miracles very soon. Sending lots of

and positive energy!!!!

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I love to keep seeing you guys here. . . I like hearing how you are doing, and it gives me something to look forward to! I also like to lurk on the Due In Boards occasionally, just to check on everyone.

Tkeys · #5 (**permalink**) 09-07-2007, 07:34 PM

Oh . . . and did I mention how happy I am for the 3 of you?

I TOTALLY agree!!! And for Michelle too!!

I love seeing all you pg ladies here because when I start to get my sxs, God willing, I'll have some wonderful experts to lend advice. I've never been pregnant, so I have no clue what to expect. Knowing there are some wise mamas on here helps a lot!!!

Hi! I still come around to check on everyone who is TTC and sending some babydust. I'm doing well. M/s is getting much better. I made it to 12 weeks so we started telling everyone. I still cannot believe I am at this point after our losses. I loved seeing how excited everyone is for us.

Greetings,

YAHHHH!!!! I feel so much better. I think I might be able to relax just a bit and enjoy everything now instead of worrying the worst was happening.

The U/S when GREAT!!!! The doc determined I am 7W0D today....so he bumped up everything by a couple of days. No biggy....guess the little bean just wanted to get in all nice and cozy early to make sure it would be secure.

But there is with out question only one little bean in there. I am very happy and go from kind of relieved to a bit sad but in the end HAPPY....kind of hard to explain I guess. I think one to start will be a bit easier they two.

The yoke sac is great and on track to sustain the baby till the placenta can take over. The heart is beating at 133 bpm

AND AND AND we actually got to hear it today.....EEEEE....that was the best part. What a sweet sweet sound. My DH was completely blown away when he heard that. I think he was very surprised, he even sat up in the chair and took a closer look on the monitor it was so cute....the best reaction from him yet. (He does not overly show excitement).

This appointment made it all real. I mean I know it was real before but seeing and hearing my little baby....MAN....it just makes it all the more real. If that makes sense. I have such a feeling of relief that all is going along as it should....it’s like this weight I did not realize was so heavy has been lifted.

We go for my first OB appointment next week on Wed. I am very much looking forward to that. We need to get some blood work out of them way and make sure my levels are all normal....this is the next hurdle. BUT if they are not we will just have to make the adjustments to get them there. We also found out the my DH has A+ blood and I know I have AB- so I am thinking we will have the RH negative factor in play too. BUT it’s not a big deal these days.

OK....drum roll........

.......

.......

HERE IS THE PIC....sorry you can not see to much but I have to say I am very fawned of it....LOL....maybe I am just bias.

HEY GIRLS... I think of you guys all the timebut like May I wasn't sure if I should post here anymore

I am doing great .. I am 16 weeks and the awful morning sickness has finally gone away. I felt the baby this week so that has also given me great comfort. My only complaint is that I am now getting migraines.. yucky! But thats ok. Its worth it to be out of my first tri.

Everything so far looks good with baby.. nice strong heartbeat, no problems with blood pressure, urine etc.

Sending babydust your way!!!

It is so great to hear from you ladies! I feel like we bonded and then didn't get to be a part of your amazing journey to motherhood!

Thanks for updating us and sharing your pics! I love it!

They gave me an u/s yesturday which was not scheduled. I had told them about my spotting and that I was really worried and they just said "lets go ahead and give you an u/s". I was so happy but very nervous until I saw the little heart beating. The baby is measuring right on and everything looks good so far.
The baby's heart beat was 175.
Here is a pic..

May · #17 (**permalink**) 09-27-2007, 01:04 PM

Everything is going well so far. I had some spotting at the beginning for a bit though.
This morning I had some cramping and pain but I think I overdid it yesturday. My sister came over and got my kids and I have been a lazy bump on the couch all day. The cramping has gone and I have had no spotting or blood with it so I think everything is fine. Im just going to be careful to not overdo myself anymore. Freaked me out for a bit though. At my appointment the other day they did say that cramping is normal. But this was just scary anyway.

Your belly looks great! I would say you are "showing" now!

Niffle · #18 (**permalink**) 09-27-2007, 01:52 PM

I totally thought I posted on this, guess I missed it. I still post and such on the weekly thread, so you've all seen my (what I consider) overly large bump. I still haven't seen a doctor, I'm having issues with OHIP and the midwife clinic near the new house. The baby moves all the time now, not really kicking, but lots and lots of flutters and rolling. Especially at bedtime when I curl up against DH's back, she rolls to get closer to him. Well....could be a he, but we've been saying she since day 1, so....I've apologized to the baby in the case it turns out to be a boy.

Oh and today I bought my first baby outfit. I had to go make a loan payment and I'd never been to that particular bank branch before. Well, it just so happened to be right next door to a baby resale shop. So yeah, I went shopping. The outfit is totally in excellent condition and was less than $5. It would have been at least 3 times that brand new.

Here's two pics of the outfit. The second is a close up of the embroidery.
