*NEW* 1st Trimester Bump Buddies

[angellica]

Hello Strangers!

Sory about my disappearance, we have been soooo busy I just have had no me time! I hope and pray you are all doing real good and not getting to impatient, big and sick!! I am all 3!!! well not really sick just have my moments but hardly anything really I suppose it is still very early or maybe I am just plain lucky! I will have a good read of the thread in a bit just thought I would check in, thanks to all those who have given me advice and well wishes on my lump situation, I have a biopsy & ultrasound on the 14th (same day as ultrasound and my Birthday! lucky me! & my shops anniversary so a real busy day.. ) so wish me luck!!!

How are you all doing on the tired front I get real tired by 3pm in the afternoon and am a little ratty, I have shooting pain in my nipples which is a wee bit annoying! and still look like I am well into the 2nd trimester! otherwise I am doing really well.....sorry theres no personals I will get round to them when I have more time!

I have been real naughty and bought some baby bits today! I just couldn't resist, my DH was choosing things as well and I bought everything in 3's just incase!! I came to the conclusion that if I am only having 1 then I will give he other bits to my little sis and my friend who are also pgt so nothing will have gone to waste!!!!

Hey girls, I am very sad today, can't stop crying. I just had my second US and my baby is one week smaller than he should, he was 6w0d and I am 7w2d, there was a very mild heartbeat too, so I don't know what to do. My DH says I should stay positive that he is still alive since HB is there and it might only be he implanted later, but I have read so many stories of cases like this not turning right that I can't stop crying. RE says we have 50/50 chance, that he wants to see us again in 1 week for another US, so we'll see what happens.......
Do any of you have any encouraging stories for me today?

[cmoscar]

Vicky77 - I am so very sorry! My heart is breaking for you. I do not have good stories for you, but please do not give up hope. As long as there is a heartbeat, there is a chance. I lived by this during my sons' pregnancies. The bleeding was alsways so bad, we live from ultrasound to ultrasound praying there would still be a heartbeat. Take some time to relax and eat right. It may just be Gods way of making you slow down. I know when we only had one egg fertilize and they put it back right away, I was devestated. I cried for three days before I decided it was time to get up and move on. I started by taking a shower and eating a heathly meal. Once I started, it got easier and the time just flew. Next thing I knew, I was getting nausea and so we tested. We never know what is in store for us. Don't give up on your little one, fight for it!

Vicky,

I am so sorry. Stay positive, and stay as stressful as possible. Take care of yourself, and take it easy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the wee one.

[M'BA]

I am sorry vicky I meant stressfree...not stressful !!

Hi ladies,

Went to DR. for my 2nd scan on Friday, and it went well. Saw the heartbeat, and so far, so good. I go to my OB on 12/26, where she will probably do an ultrasound. Then go back to IVF Dr. in early January for probably my final appointment with him. I am off the injections, and now on just a suppository...my hips are thankful for that!!!

Thinking of you all...

[Sita]

Hi Girls,

Hope you are all doing well. Thank you for all your precious advise. I do appreciate it.

MBA - Congratulations. I am glad to hear that the scan went well.

Vicky - Please be strong my dear. I too think that it may be because of delayed implantation. The main thing is that there is a heartbeat. Please keep praying and I am sure God will give you and the baby strength to survive through this. I will be saying a special prayer for you too today. I hope everything goes well next week. Please be positive and try to visualise your baby.

I was also so anxious last Friday when I started bleeding. Thank you so much girls for helping me to have a PMA. In the 1st trimester we worry about every little thing..don't we ?

The nurse actually said that it might be implantation spotting and the bleeding lasted only for about 12 hours (1/2 day). I was so relaxed after this. I keep praying and having deep breaths. It really helped.

Thinking of you ...

Lots of love,
Sita

Angellica- it's great to have you back....

Vicky- I'm sorry to hear your sad news... however you have to remain strong and think positive. I will say a prayer for you today and keep my fingers crossed that everything turns out perfect. Please keep us posted...

M'BA- glad to hear that your 2nd scan went great. I'm sure your so excited about your next appointment on the 26th now... we also have our next appointment on the 26th too. I have a feeling it will be a great day.

Sita- glad to hear your bleeding has stopped and that it was nothing serious.

Me on the other hand am not doing so good today.... I'm miserable. I'm all stuffy, my head hurts, my ears hurt, one minute I'm sweating and the next I'm freezing and I'm having trouble breathing at times. I'm leaving work early today so I can go to the doctor to see if there is anything I can take or do to make me feel better. This is terrible... All I want to do is go home, curl up on the couch and cry.

Sorry for my poopy mood today....

Vicky - I am so sorry that you are going through this. Try to have faith that everything will be ok. I will pray for you and your little one.

M'Ba - I am so happy for you that your scan went well. You must feel so relieved. I also have an OB appointment on the 26th like you and Tasha. I'm sure it will be a lucky day for all of us. I am so sorry you are feeling miserable. You should just go home and sleep. Your body needs as much rest as possible. Let us know what your Dr. says.

Colleen - I know the wait sucks! I often wonder women who do not go through IVF how they cope with the wait because they do not go to the Dr's 1/2 as much as we do. I have already had 3 scans so far and would be perfectly happy with getting one a week. I'm usually good for about a week after a scan then I start the worrying again. Hopefully that the holidays are here it will make the time go by faster.

Sita - I am so glad for you that the bleeding stopped and that the nurse does not think that it is anything. That must be such a relief. When is your next appointment?

Angellica - Good luck on the 14th. I will be praying that everything turns out fine for you. As for the tiredness I am exhaused most of the time. This weekend I pretty much just rested on the couch most of the time. You must have been so excited to buy stuff for the baby. I am so tempted to also but I made a deal with myself to try to wait until after Christmas. I went to a store this weekend that had a big baby sections and I had a grand old time looking at the cribs and strollers. I just stood there and day dreamed of my little one for a while.

Ellie, Cowgirl, Kim - How are you all doing? When are your next appointments?

All my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

All Who Lived on the October Thread -

In case you do not know, Nicola (nictor) is pregnant. Her IVF was successfull and I am trying to bring her over. She is truely blessed and I am so happy for her. When she does come over, please welcome her!

Thook - I know how you feel! This was part of what went wrong with me last week. The only difference was my asthma was set off. However, I do advise you to go home and rest. In pregnancy, it can take longer the heal from an illness. You will need the rest for both of you!

Crasmus - It is a big step to stop some of the meds. When I stopped the progestrone, I was scared! I worried that the baby would not do as well, but now s/he is doing well! Good luck at your appoinment on the 29th!

Sita - It sounds like you are doing better. The holidays will help to lift your spirits!

M'BA - Your moving along! Like everyone else, you seem to be flying through this!

Angellica - Welcome back! Don't feel bad about buying things for your little one(s). I have bought a few little things and I have decided on the nursery decor. We have started making plans about furniture, clothing, soaps etc. Be excited, this is a blessed event and pregnancy has its own discomforts to impose. Enjoy it while you can!

Ellie - I hope you are getting into the spirit. I know it is hard when others around do celebrate the same way. I have been through this many times and it can wear on you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Buckeyegal - Hope you are doing well. I had a great weekend and appreciate your greeting. You always seem to be so positive!

As for us, we had a very busy weekend. My oldest son and husband spent the night on board Battleship Texas and then the entire cub scout pack went and joined them for a private tour of the ship. We had a picnic in between and despite the rain and cold, all had a great time. The boys wwere filled with stories about the ship and various battles. They are still talking about the event. The boys that spent the night even presented me with a special hat because I arranged the whole event. I cried like a baby and felt so very proud. This was the older boys last big event with the pack because they are graduating to boys scouts on January 13th. This includes my oldest son Daniel. He will be going to the boys scout troop with extra honors! I am so very sad because I will miss having him there all the time, but I am very proud of all he has done. This is where being a mom gets hard. I have to start letting go already and yet I only want to hold on harder! In boy scouts, Daniel will camp with parents. There will only be 3-4 adults there and only to keep them safe. The boys will have to fend for themselves. I know Daniel is ready, but he is my baby! Oh well, I guess now is the time to focus on Christian. He is 6 going on 16! He wants to prove he can do all the things that Daniel does and more! I am very blessed because these two rugrats keep my mind off the baby. I went to the asthma doctor today and my oxygen levels are up to 92%. This is were I need to keep them! Next week, I have my nuchal, so I will get to see the baby again before Christmas. I cannot wait for this to get here! God bless all of you and keep you safe.

Vicky i am so sorry to hear your news it must be so difficult having to wait one more week. Just a thought but my appointment for HB scan isn't until 21st which is over a week longer than yours was and we are at the same timescale. Could it be that it was to early for the HB to be strong. I will be praying for you and beanie, keep positive honey.

Sita i am so pleased that you are ok i was thinking about you over the weekend.

Angellica good to see you back. What a busy life you lead. I will be thinking of you on 14th and zapping some energy your way for your biopsy.

MBA pleased to hear all went well with your scan. I have been on suppositorys from begining, a bit of advice i tend to sit and relax for about 30 mins after( not sure if it does anything but i like to chill when i can) also you might want to wear a pantyliner it can get a bit yucky.

Thook sorry you are feeling crappy, heres a big hug for you (((( ))))) hope you feel better soon.

Cramus pleased to hear you are of the crinone, that will be a hard wait over the holidays until 29th.

Hope everyone else is ok

Nance

I am sorry, you posted while I was writing! I am glad to hear you are doing well. I am like you, I go to the stores and dream! I have been testing out various options on the strollers and cribs because I already know I will be having a C-Sections. I don't want anything that will bother my incision or make it difficult to go out. I have finally found a stroller that is able to breakdown with one hand and is very light. I still haven't found a crib that has a height I like, but I will. I am going to start buying more items after Christmas. This way we will be far enough along and I should have more energy!

Have a great day!

[Nance]

Hi Racheal,

Isn't it fun to shop around? I love doing that. Would you mind telling me the name of the stroller you found that you like? I am thinking I want to get one of those travel systems/strollers that you can just click the car seat into but I'm not sure. My mom thinks I shoud get one of those big strollers (like a carriage) so the baby will be comfy but they look so bulky. I have a subscription to Consumer Reports so if you want to give me the model info. I can look it up and see how it is rated and let you know.

All my best,
Nance

[angellica]

Vicky - Stay positive, I am sure you will be just fine, all the books I have read state that the heartbeat doesn't usually show until about 7 weeks so maybe as mentioned before it was just too early to get a strong HB, keep smiling Vicky I can imagine how awful this is for you but this is the one time you need as mch PMA as you can find, I really do believe that we manifest outcomes from our thought process in which case MY BABY IS FINE...MY BABY IS HEALTHY!!!!! Keep affirming x

Ellie - Thanks for that all positive energy is gratefully received!! I hope you are doing OK. x

Cmoscar - Thanks you have made me feel better, I thought everyone would think I was mad buying things this early but a least I am not alone it is so exciting isn't it all these little things!!! will be thinking of you next week, good luck x

Nance - Prams, cots, everyting its like a whole new world isn't it! my DH and I were doing the same at the weekend I feel better that other people do this stuff otherwise I might feel I was a bit OTT!!!! There are some fantastic things out there I just need to find out its twins and I will have to go out again and daydream some more! How exciting for all of us!!! x

Tasha - I am so sorry you are having a bad day today, just remember tomorrows a whole new one x

Crasmus - I stopped the crinone as well Friday! what a releif I just have another 5 weeks of cyclogest and it's no more meds..wahey!! Lets hope the patience fairy visits you! not too long to wait but I know how you feel I am counting the sleeps till Thursday!! x

Everyone else, I trust all is well....
