July 8th

We had our Drd appointment on this day and everything is great, we heard the heart beat and all my blood work came back really good. We got the results back from the NT testing and its 1:5000 chance of having a baby with Downs so we are over the moon. I am still getting some headaches, my Dr suggested Claritin but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I am really getting excited now, my mum gave me a baby blanket when I was home which she said was mine when I was a baby and so she said I could use it for my baby, I was in tears!

Hope everyone is doing ok...

July 17th

I am feeling a little sad today, this would have been the due date of my first pregnancy. I think I would have felt worse if I wasn't pregnant again. I am sure I can feel the baby move sometimes, I think I felt it twice today which made me feel a lot better. I will get through today. My heart goes out to everyone who has experieneced a loss or a miscarriage, its such a hard thing to go through and you never forget what happens. Take Care ladies...

June 4th

I really thought I was starting to feel a little better but no- I am feeling sick again, I keep telling myself its a good sign but I can't wait to eat what I want again. It was our wedding anniversary yesterday, 8 wonderful years! 6 days until the next Drs appointment, I can't wait and dreading it at the same time I really hope everything is ok this time.

June 10th

We had our u/s today and everything is perfect, the heartbeat was 173bpm and I am doing well, it was such a huge relief! I can now get on and start enjoying this pregnancy

June 22nd

Wow what a busy couple of days...we had the ultrasound on Friday for the NT testing, everything went well, we loved watching the baby dance around for 45 minutes! It was great, the tech couldn't get a good picture for the measurement and kept apologising but we really didn't care we could have watched the baby ALL day. Everything looked normal, she said the measurement was 0.9mm which is really good and so I had the blood drawn as well, we will get the results next week but we have already decided not to have any further testing. It was my birthday on Saturday and on Friday night hubby took me out to my favoriate place to eat and we had a great time, Saturday came and I was truly spoiled with presents and we went out for lunch and went to a wedding in the evening, it was really nice. We stayed over and just got back at lunch time so we are just going to relax for the rest of the day. We go back to the UK to visit family on Wednesday and we will be back the following Wednesday. I am feeling really good about everything at the moment, I really hope everyone else is doing good.

Yes Yes Yes BFP!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited and happy, due date is January 2nd. I am a bit nervous that everything will go well but so far I am feeling crampy and my boobs are killing me...and I am extremely tired all the time. Thanks to everyone for your support.

We went to the Drs today and they took my blood for type, HCG and progesterone levels, they then sent me to get an ultrasound which was highly unexpected. We saw the pregnancy and just a clump in the shape of a fetus but it was too early to see a heart beat. We are going back in 10 days, fingers crossed we will see a heart beat and that will really put our minds at ease.

May 12th

We got the blood work back and my HCG levels were 6,090 which puts me right in the 5-6 week mark-right on track and my progesterone levels were 34.5 which was perfect- so everything is looking good, feeling a bit of nausea and so tired. I can't stop going to the bathroom, its crazy!!

May 19th

We went for the next ultrasound today and everything looks normal and we saw the heart beat, thank GOD!! I have a cyst on one of my ovaries but she said there was nothing to worry about and everything is ok. I am still a bit stressed, I don't think I will be 100% ok until I make it past 10 weeks.

May 28th

I am doing ok, still very worried about everything but getting through it. I am feeling really really sick at the moment, I don't want anything to eat, everything makes me feel sick, so I am forcing myself to eat fruit and soup. I am drinking mint tea for the nausea. I have my next appointment on June 10th so I am feeling really nervous for that but hopefully everything will be good.

December 2007

I was 10 weeks pregnant on December 19th and I went to the Drs for my 10 week apointment. When I was there the Dr asked if I wanted to see the baby and of course I said yes. She did an ultrasound and she could not see the heart beat. Needless to see I was really shocked and couldn't believe what was happening. The next day we went for another ultrasound and a different Dr could not find the heartbeat as well. He said the baby stopeed growing around 9 weeks. We had a D & C the following morning. It was painless and I didn't have much bleeding afterwards We were devastated this was our first pregnancy and we had never tried before. We have been married for seven and a half years and we wanted to get everything in place before we started trying. We came to terms with happened and realized that it wasn't meant to be for whatever reason. We are anxious to start trying again.
