Hi, welcome to my page. I'm 39 years old and started trying for a baby in December 2007. Following two losses, one miscarriage and one molar pregnancy I am now pregnant for the third time and progressing nicely. Time is passing so fast and I'm sure what with the distraction of Christmas coming, I will be due in no time. Baby seems to be growing very fast at the moment and I can definitely feel the difference in him/her, as well as seeing the difference in me. Send me a message if you'd like to chat.

girlinterrupted - 21.5 hours ago Yuck, the dentist sucks...I'm starting to feel pretty rubbish, lol. The nausea is definitely kicking in so I'm sure the throwing up will start soon but I don't mind really - it's kind of reassuring.Hope you are doing ok, apart from the dentist of course xx
girlinterrupted - 23.7 hours ago Hi ladies, me again lol. I had my appointment with the consultant today and she said I might as well have another u/s while I was there - I wasn't going to argue with her!! Baby was 3mm on friday and 5.2mm today Hopefully that means everything is going ok so far. Fingers crossed for the next 34 weeks, lol xx
firstmommy08 - Saturday, 21 November I know I am ovulating. I know my body... do you ladies think I should BD or should I wait til I see the specialist?
girlinterrupted - Friday, 20 November Thanks hun, I think about you a lot too. I'm just so happy everything is going well for you. It feels like we got over the first hurdle - a few more to go though! I'm still going to see the consultant on monday although I won't be scanned again but I will ask for another one in a few weeks. She is going to arrange this baby's first heart scan for around 14 weeks (I really hope we get that far..)xx
girlinterrupted - Friday, 20 November Hi everyone, I want to say thank you so much to all of you that commented on my blog and... we have a heartbeat I called the EPU this morning and they said to come straight in. The u/s tech saw the hb straight away and as soon as she saw it she turned the screen round so I could see it too. She has me dated at 5+4 which sounds about right to me. I am so relieved but I am also aware that it is early days. Jayne xx

roosa - Tuesday, 17 November Just got my test results back and they are negative, yay! That means the risks of anything happening the next 2-3 weeks are very minimal. I am contemplating whether or not to basically go on bed rest though, since my cervix is still shortening. My own doctor is not a fan of bed rest, but so many sites say it may prevent early labor when you have incompetent cervix. After all the baby is pushing less down on the cervix when you are off your feet. My mom arrived yesterday and is here for 7 weeks, so that is good. It means that either way I can take it easier. I am also waiting to hear back from my doctor about whether or not we can do progesterone injections which is known to help prevent preterm labor. I can't thank everyone enough for the kind and encouraging comments you sent me after my last post. I was so touched by the friendships I have here and so thankful for the prayers. Much love, Karin
roosa - Tuesday, 17 November Dear friends, please pray for me and baby. I had an extra ultrasound today that I personally requested because is has been 8 weeks since they checked my cervix. I am funneling - meaning my cervix is getting shorter. It is now about 2.7 whereas it was 3.5 8 weeks ago. Studies have shown that women with a cervix shorter than 2.5 has a 50% chance of going into early labor. My doctor took a swap to test for Fetal Fibronectin, a protein that is produced when the body is preparing for labor. I should have the test results by the end of the day. If they are positive there is a 15% chance I will go into labor the next 2 weeks. Please pray it will be negative!! Either way they will be keeping a close eye on me and I will have another ultrasound in two weeks. I am so glad I followed my heart and requested this extra scan, even if I don't have any labor symptoms. Of course I am anxiously waiting for these results - it will be a long afternoon. Please pray for me. xox Karin
