My name's Laura and I'm 29. I've been married for 3 1/2 years and have been TTC since then.

I first became pregnant in November 2005. I was on holiday with family and just thought I had AF symptoms. I have PCOS and therefore can never predict my periods. Well, I got home from holiday and did a test on the Monday BFP! Sadly, three days later, I started to bleed and miscarried naturally. The baby was just 7 weeks.

The second time was February 2007. I had been TTC non-stop so knew nearly as soon as I fell. Unfortunately, after 7 weeks I started to bleed again and had to have a D&C.

The last time was December 2007. Again I knew almost from the beginning that I was pregnant as I had been using ovulation tests. At 11 weeks, just when we started to believe that things might be going well, I started to bleed. Back to the hospital for another D&C. They told me that the baby had stopped growing at 5 weeks.

Now I think it is about time I got some help so went to see a specialist who has told me that I should be taing Aspirin daily. That is it! Can't believe it but time will tell.

Having promised myself at the beginning of this journey that I wouldn't become obsessed, feel that it has gone too long now and find myself sneakily POAS whenever possible. Very SAD I know!

Fingers crossed that my luck improves this year!

Hi I am having the same problem. I ended up buying a bell belt. they are fantatic the go over your buttons on your pants and have elastic on them. You can still wear your fave jeans.

hi there i wear "metalicus" clothes check out their website or do a search on e-bay. they are great stretch clothes you can layer, no nasty seams or buttons or zips and they range from singlets to long sleeve tops to dresses and skirts, leggings i swear by them! www.metalicus.com/

Hmmm. Thanks for the info. I'll have to think about that. I would hate to mess it up by scanning. But, it could be worth a try. At least I would have the scanned file permanantly anyway.

Take care,
K

Hi Laura,
Thanks for your words of wisdom! The lady I am talking about is actually the 'Executive Head' of the school - she has been very successful at my school and so has been asked to go into a failing school to work her magic, so she is effectlively overseeing the running of two schools and is only with us for 2 or 3 days a week. She is just a very very strong woman who is passionate about her work so i respect her enormously but she also has a reputation for having a terrifying temper, which i have been lucky enough not to have witnessed yet, although i have heard many stories...i have also heard that she has been taken to tribunal many times! on top of this another NQT at my school mentioned to her that she was assisting a friend at an ante-natal class and the exec. head said "well, don't go getting any ideas!" eek! imagine how i feel knowing she said this to someone else!
anyway...we also have a 'head of school' who is there all the time just being the head for our school and she is quite nice so i am going to tell her...i am sure she won't be thrilled at the news but i think she will be a little kinder..it's only going to be a matter of days though that she tells the executive head and that is what scares me!
I am only going to be 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow but i think i need to tell school this week as i am starting to have appointments coming up...do you think this is a good time? How shall i broach the subject?
sorry for all these questions and drama! I really appreciate your help!
Love
Jo

Hi Laura,
just read your message on week 10.
I recently bought a pair of trousers from topshop (about 4 weeks ago) and they were slightly baggy, now they are stretching tightly across my belly! so annoying! i am basically just wearing skirts and leggings at the moment until i am big enough for some maternity clothes!
I am a teacher too, actually I am an NQT, I haven't told my headteacher yet as she is notoriously terrifying but i think i am going to have to tell her this week as i have a midwife appointment on wednesday during my planning time and soon i will have to go in for my 12 week scan. I am terrified, I know she can't sack me but she can make my life hell and it is causing me so much stress, I have had 2 nightmares about telling her this week!
any advice?
Jo

HI LAURALOO, Glad everything went well for you with the scan, poor your wiht the bleeding all the time, I am so nervous right now even the thougth of going to the toilet fills me with dread, you are so brave but scans are great, Ive another scan on Wednesday, I am been very well looked after because of previous loss, but even every two weeks drags.


pookiekke - Saturday, 31 May
lauraloo....I had another scan the day before I turned 10 weeks and it WAS the coolest...we were able to see my baby moving its hands around. The head was so clearly a head and the body, and then you could see the hands, and the feet a little.

Hey how do you add the ultrasound pictures to your page? Do you have to scan it and then add it as a photo? I just don't know how to get it on to my computer to add it to the site.


jojo - Friday, 30 May
WOW!! look how big yr baby is now!! I'm so glad all is great and that the scan went so well. Do they any explanation to the bleeding? Maybe they never will. BIG BIG BIG Congrats hun - ENJOY!!!

jojo - Wednesday, 28 May
Hey hun, just checking in to see how your doing. Read you've had a bit of spotting. Just keep in mind that yr last U/S was perfect and that baby was growing which is a fantastic sign so i'm sure things will work out. I've known a few people bleed all the way through for no known reason and go on to have full term healthy babies. When will they re-scan you??
