I have just found out that I am pregnant after 2 miscarriages, 1 Still birth and 5 years of trying. Expected due date is 19th October 2008 but still to be confirmed. I feel ok in myself apart from really bad water retention and sore bust. Struggling to fit in to my bra's already but luckily no morning sickness. Find myself needing a sleep though in the afternoon. We were just about to start on fertility drugs in May but now there is no need.

I have had another scan which you can see on my photos. I am extremely large now and have a waste size of 45 inches. For the last few weeks I have been growing at a rate of 1 inch per week. Hope it does not continue like this as I am only 22 weeks. Things have settled down now and we now know that we are expecting a boy. Joshua is very active now and di not like having his pictures taken. We were at the hospital for over 4 hours as I had to keep leaving the scan room and then going back, due to him being a pain like his father, lol. Still not 100% confident yet as it was about this time that I had my still birth so still extremely nervous. Got good help from my GP, Midwife & Consultant and I am also seeing a counsellor to help me through the weeks when things get on top of me. It feels great to have a good network of people around me to help out when I need it.

Well I have been for my first scan. The baby is a healthy 13mm and no problems at the moment. But because the baby is growing so quickly they have changed my due date by nearly 2 weeks and don `t expect me to go the full term.I am just starting to go through the emotional ups and downs that come with pregnancy and am hating every minute of it. I have no control over anything any more.No morning sickness as yet though.Struggling with clothes. All I have that fit me are loads of tracksuit bottoms and baggy tops. Gone up 2 dress sizes and 2 bra sizes also put on nearly half a stone. I am going to be FAT!

I have been for another scan today after a terrible weekend. Started bleeding really heavily on Friday afternoon and by late evening I had a lot of abdominal pain. Went to A & E and found that the pain was being caused by a bladder infection and they told me to keep my scan appointment so they could check to find out if there was a reason for the bleeding. They said they could not find anything but that if it continues then I have to go back as given my history they would like to check my Cervix to make sure that there is no damage there. Was such a relief today though to find that the baby is ok.

Hi Rachel,
It's great to hear from you and congrats also on your boy news! All is good here - there are the odd niggles here and there but nothing to complain of really. I swear my little lad is training for the England football captain's job! It simply has to be the year for boys cos there are 2 other girls at work carrying boys too - one of them is having twin boys! I hoped for a girl but we are all just as happy that it's a boy. Little baby Alexander William will be a spoiled one that's for sure. Only 4 more weeks left at work now and I can't wait, so gaming will be on the agenda during the day when I finish! See you soon.
Em x
