pregnancy week by week



Hi everyone, my name is Janine. Thanks for stopping by my page.


We found out today (8th June 2008) that we are pregnant for the second time and are overjoyed but terrified at the same time.

Sadly our first baby had to go to heaven at 13 weeks. We discovered at our scan that our little bub had Anencephaly, a fatal neural tube defect which causes the head and brain not to form - a condition totally incompatible with life. We therefore had no choice but to say goodbye to our little bundle of joy and opt for a d&c on the 29th February. Our hearts were broken by this terrible experience.


We now have an Angel in heaven and we have taken many blessings from the 3 months our little baby had with us. That little person will always have a special place in our hearts.

We are so grateful for the wonderful second chance we have been given and can only hope and pray that all unfolds well this time around.

What follows is a poem a lovely friend from this site sent to me. It brought comfort to me and I hope it will do the same for others who have experienced a loss.

I did not die young.

I lived the span of my life in your body,

And within your love.

There are many who have lived long lives

And have not been as loved as me.

If you would honour me, then speak my name,

And number me among your family.

If you would honour me, then try to live in love,

For in that love, I live.

Never ever doubt that we will meet again.

Until that happy day, I will grow with God

And wait for you



If you are interested, all my updates are in my blog section on the right.

Best of Luck to everyone trying for a baby and Congratulations to all those with a little bundle of joy on the way!

Goodluck with pregnancy #2. I am also pregnant again after losing my 1st @ 13 weeks also so know this time is exciting and scary all at once.
I loved the poem here it is beautiful and exactly how i feel! Most people wanted us to forget what happened and "move on" but this little piece of our hearts will never go away.
I hope everything works out for us both. We are due within 2 days of each other so will most definitely keep track of your progress.
Take Care,

hey... I'm pretty sure things are the same here as well. I'm not sure what dr I want to go with yet so I made appt's with two who come highly recommended.. My first appt is June 19th and the other on july 2nd.. I guess I'm going to decide who I feel more comfortable with then.. I never really liked my first Dr and after the last experience I've decided to start over fresh.. I think I'll have an ultrasound at 12 weeks and then a level 2 ultrasound at 18 to 20 weeks.. so it's not really different..Sounds like February is a popular month for your family:) I think it's meant to be... Well, keep me poste! Kelly

Im glad to hear that the dr.s are positive. Take care of yourself and stay positive, If your ever need someone to talk to, feel free. I love this site because there are so many people that can understand how you feel and you feel like you have support. So make sure you take advantage of it! Take Care!


TracyB - Wednesday, 11 June
Oh yes - I hear ya! (feeling sick will make you feel more positive about the pregnancy). Isn't that the truth! We WANT to throw up! :o)

I will probably O either tonight or tomorrow, so not officially yet in the 2ww. AF will be due Fri June 27th,and I won't test this time until morning of June 27th - I promised myself and God I wouldn't do it so I won't. It will kill me - but I'll wait! Plus it'll save me some $$ too not testing so much! :o)


grexach - Wednesday, 11 June
Yay, darker lines are good! No, no more tiny brown spots at all. Thank goodness.


lea - Wednesday, 11 June
hun i am doing so well i cant tell you. read my message at top of week 26 about communicating to baby. its unreal. i cant wait to meet him yet i dont want this feeling of baby inside to end. had a few nights where i have been up till 3.30 as i cant stop watching my belly twitch and kick. i am really sorry men dont get to experience this, its magic. i had a feeling you wouldnt be long in getting pregnant but didnt wana say incase you didnt. you gota try letting go of that pain though of loosing yuor first so this one doesnt feel any loss. i tell you they feel everything. kicking me when i am angry, scared or crying! xxxxxxxx


TracyB - Wednesday, 11 June
YEAH to the darker line!!! That is awesome! Oh my gosh, you have to be so excited! (And scared, I know, that's normal). I am doing well. Yes, the line was even darker for me last night so we are doing all we can do - we've pinpointed the date, so the timing is right, now we will just wait to see if it is our month or not. I sure hope so. I really miss being pregnant, feeling the baby move, etc. I was right at the 3rd trimester before when she died, and the 2nd trimester was the best in feeling really good. I just really miss the whole pregnant experience. I hope I get to have those feelings again soon.

How are the 1st trimester PG symptoms going for you? Are you vomiting any? Probably really tired. That's what I remember the most - the tiredness!


TracyB - Wednesday, 11 June
Hi! Just checking on ya to see if you tested today. Darker??


mamacourser - Wednesday, 11 June
congrats. your story gives me hope. we went through the same thing in march and just started ttc again. good luck to you!


lea - Wednesday, 11 June

That's great!!! Congratulations! I'm assuming I'm due around Feb 7th... I go to the Dr. June 19th so hopefully I'll find out some new details then.. Did you go to the Dr. yet?


minkymoo78 - Tuesday, 10 June
I'm ok thanks, feeling positive. This is my 3rd cycle since my miscarriage so I'm hoping this will be the one! Fingers crossed x


grexach - Tuesday, 10 June
It is an extremely emotional journey. I had a very, very small brown spot this afternoon and got really scared. Not sure what's happening, but am taking it easy today. Good luck tomorrow when you POAS tomorrow. Like you said, we just have to remain calm and think positively that everything will work out just fine. I believe it.


TracyB - Tuesday, 10 June
Yep - I do the prop up thing afterwards. Nothing is too personal w/ this stuff girl! Any tips you have, I'll gladly take. Bd last night, skip tonight, and bd tomorrow night..... Good thing it's not tonight, my husband has to pick his parents up at the airport and he won't be home till late tonight. I would've been pooped out by then!

You'll have a DARK line tomorrow, I just know it!! SO excited for you!!!


TracyB - Tuesday, 10 June
Good morning Janine! (probably Good Afternoon for you). Yes, it is bd time. :) This will be month #5 so I hope THIS is the month!! :) Have a wonderful day today and I wish you DARK, dark lines on the hpt tomorrow!!


GreenWood - Tuesday, 10 June
Just did my first opk, but was neg. I've got 10 of them though, so should keep me going for a bit! I now the first scan is only at 12 weeks, but I admire your restraint! I think when it does eventually happen for us, I'll want to see my GP that same week I'll be so excited!!!! Em x


luckywhite - Tuesday, 10 June
OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats excellent news!!!!!

Wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy and lots of happy times ahead! x


grexach - Monday, 9 June
It might even be better to do it your way, without so many tests and early scans. The preg. is pretty much on autopilot at this point and there is not much you can do or see until about 12 weeks when you will have your first scan, anyway. It might help you stay calm and relaxed, rather than waiting all the time for the next test. I hope that is the case, anyway!

I have a scan next Tuesday, June 17th to check for the heartbeat. Hopefully, it will be there. I am so hoping everything will be okay. Today is the day I miscarried last time, so I keep checking my underwear for brown spotting. So nervous.

Well, I am so happy for us. I believe we will both have happy, healthy, perfectly wonderful pregnancies that will result in happy, healthy, perfect little babies!

I love love love the poem on your page... particularly the part that says: "There are many that have lived long lives and not been as loved as me."
This is so true and gives me great comfort.
In fact... I wanted to tell you that for father's day here in the US (not sure that you have fathers day there or not)
I've decided to frame our ultrasound photo along with these words. I'm hoping that this will make a very special gift for my husband as well as something that we can hang in our home forever to keep our little one a part of our family.
Thank you so much for posting that poem.
And as for your message. I'm so sorry. I had no idea that you had to wait until your 12 week scan. I will be thinking of you often & saying prayers now and then. Your little one will be wonderful & beautiful & perfectly formed.... don't doubt that..... and it's so wonderful to hear that you've been able to take supplements to reduce the chances of this happening again.
Thank you so much for your positive words. I appreciate them more than you know. Please keep your toes crossed for me & I'll keep mine crossed for you.
Take extra good care of yourself and keep in touch! ~ Jamie
