Larisa, I am so, so, sorry

. My heart and thoughts are with you and DH.

Larisa, I'm so so very sorry to hear such heartbreaking news.

There are no words that can possibly help, but my heart goes out to you and your partner. I sincerely wish you both much peace and hope the future holds bright things for the two of you.

Feels uneasy to have sad condolences and congratulations at the same time, but wishing congratulations too for Rouge and Lisa and MLG. MLG am so glad for you that the prospects are looking great. I hope your wait is over soon and you can relax and rejoice in your pregnancy.

Hope everyone else is well
M

MLG - welcome and good news that you are now officially pregnant, good luck with your scan.

How is everyone doing? Rubbish news about Larissa, hey, really brings it home to you, ((BIG HUGS)) to you Larissa.

I'm doing ok, although time is going so slow, probably because i am still off school until monday. Every little thing is an effort, i have really gone into lazy mode!!!!

Good luck to those with scans coming up

love

sue e xx

Hey everyone. I'm not sure if I should write on this thread anymore, but I still love to read all the posts and as long as my name is on the list I might as well join in! I have my 3rd scan on Tuesday (April 25). It's been weird waiting 3 weeks since my last scan and am curious to see how my babies are doing.

Week 6, 7 and 8 were my sickest weeks, but weeks 9 and 10 I've felt somewhat better. I measured my belly and I'm 7 inches bigger already...and 8 pounds. I'm about to start wearing maternity clothes.

Deidre, how did your first scan go the other day?

Very sad for Larissa. It stinks.

Welcome MLG and Jessica! I was so happy to hear your BFP's.

Hi all - welcome MLG!!!

I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm trying to lay low and stop obsessing over my pregnancy for a while. I am over the moon, but I feel that my constant thinking is giving me anxiety attacks. I have been reading the posts often, but trying not to look at everything as a scary sign that something might go wrong for me, or that I'm not experiencing the same thing as someone else etc etc. Just crazy!!!

I can't believe everyone gets repeat scans!!! I have no scan scheduled after my 1 and only. I am meeting with the hospital doctor in 3 weeks and will ask for a 12 week scan, but apart from that....nothing!

Good luck to all the ladies having their first scans soon.

Bella.

Hi All

Bella - Don't worry about not having lots of scans...I am getting so many because of my age

Krista - Definitely so far..week 6 was the absolute worst for me..7 & 8 are tolerable. Those babies are definitely growing! A friend came over yesterday and gave me some of her maternity clothes. I am not showing at all....getting a little rounder in the stomache area.

Welcome MLG, Rouge and Lisa!!

Sue - I am definitely in lazy mode...I am trying to get to the garden store today so we can do some planting on the weekend...maybe this will give me more energy.

I wish you all a great day (with lots of sunshine!)

Hi everyone! I am so happy to be posting on this thread! I love reading your experiences - it gives me some idea of what to expect. I finally got the date of my first scan - it will be May 8. I will be 7 1/2 weeks by then so I am hoping to see a heartbeat - or two - lol! I am 5 weeks today and have already put on a few pounds. Only have 2 pair of pants that aren't tight right now. I am loving it

Anyway - I am adding myself to the list. Have a great day!

Tracii, I'm so glad to hear that your week 6 was the worst and then 7 & 8 were better. I have this yucky feeling that since I'm feeling better maybe one of my babies didn't make it. Dumb, because I'm wearing my first pair of maternity pants today and I have plenty of other signs that things are going well. I think it's just the parnoid side of me...similar to how Mel said she was worried that the negative stuff from the posts makes her worry. I have that same feeling too! I'm so glad that I have my scan on Tuesday to put my mind at ease.

Bella, I had so many scans because of twins, I suppose. I think it's normal that you go from your first scan until about 12 weeks. I agree though, after getting used to visiting the doctor many, many times for a 6 week or so period, it's a long time to go!

Welcome Lisa! Congrats on your BFP. I bet you are very excited for your scan! At 7.5 weeks I bet you'll see the heartbeat. I saw the heartbeats at my 6 week scan and again at 8 weeks.

Yes who would have thought ... rejoicing in the muffin rolls hanging over the edges of too tight jeans! Weird coz feel like I shouldnt be showing yet and all thats actually happened is the swollen insides are pushing out my lovely inches of flabby waist, so feels like a bit of a cheat, not real pregancy, just more prominant flab! Nice look! Great to hear am not alone in changing shape.

Bella and Krista- I hear ya! I feel like a granny trying to get into the teeny poppers disco on this thread, and am too trying too, to wind down on the preggers front, but its hard not getting the fix and daily dose of seeing how everyone is doing!

Even though am pregnant now, I really feel this is the only place I can totally relate. I still dont feel like my other pregnant friends, (heaps around at the mo) and when one of my 8mth pregnant friends (first time trying of course!) emailed me to say that all woman went through all of the same worries I was having and that I needed to CHILL OUT (yes she even used caps on me .... biatch!) - I suddenly imagined myself leaping through cyber space and practially clawing at her face!

Sure ... my pregnancy is no more special than hers, nontheless felt like asking her to try switching out her nice romantic night in the hotel on a suprise city break ... for a hellish eternity of trying (with no nice city breaks thanks, saving for IVF) and to have your private parts meet and greet over half a dozen white coats whilst being arse over elbow in a fluro lit room .... in a dentist chair with torture leg stirrups ... and top it off with a giant sringe and hoover sucky thing pointing at your most sensative parts!! .... or how about a month of needles and a drug fest for the ovaries that kills them dead then resucitates them with a 2 week nonstop drug addled party! And will leave out the rest about sheer depression, financial hell, killing the relationship and love of life in general ... and THEN have the fear of refacing the same hell if anything did go wrong. Same worries and experience .... err not quite love.

ha ha am feeling suddenly like I might not quite have gotten that out of my system until now! hee hee Thanks for letting me rant.

Otherwise, Lazy is all good sue

I dont even pretend am going to the gym by taking the gym back to work.

MLG waiting for your news, hoping your Okay.

My next scan is April 27th, and after that am going to try and be a big girl and stop taking up space here on this thread with my twittering. eek.

Oh my gosh, Mel, you just cracked me up. Oh, can I sooooo relate! Of course all of us on this site can relate, which is why we need our daily fix, like you said!

Your 1 day ahead of me and our next ultrasound is 2 days apart (next week). Then we will be within inches of hitting the 12 week mark. Yeah! I can't wait to see how the babies change and how they look next week.

Mel, if you haven't pulled out a pair of maternity pants yet, do so now!! I'm the most comfortable today than I've been in awhile. Don't let the muffin rolls hang over tight pants! Give in....buy the under the belly/mid bellymaternity pants and they will fit you like a charm! I can breathe today!! No going back for me. I'm going shopping this weekend to buy more!

LisaB75 · Post by **LisaB75** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 2:46 pm

You ladies gave me a great laugh - thanks! I, too, need to head out and buy bigger pants. I put on a few pounds during the stimms part of the cycle and, since my BFP have maybe gained another pound. I avoid scales - they are the devil - I just judge by the way my clothes fit. I am heading to the beach May 19th and will most definitely need to do the dreaded swim suit shopping before then. Guess I can't complain. For the first time in my LIFE - I refuse to worry about my weight!!

Hi girls- how easy are you taking it?? Of course my Doc wants me to keep taking it easy and I want to know what you all are doing. I own my own business so I am able to work 4 hrs a day and then I come home and lay down, read some mags or lay outside. Thats my day. I did sneak in a concert last night but made sure I took a long nap before. Am I doing too much? I go in for the heartbeat tomorrow.

Give me some insight and hopefully I am stressing over nothing.
I can't figure out that ticker thing yet. I am 6w 6 d
