having a baby

I am 24 and I live in the UK with my husband Tony. We have been married for nearly 4 years. For the last 5 years we have been trying for a baby. In the last few years I have been pregnant 9 times but had one ectopic and 8 m/c. It has been difficult but the love, strenghth and support we have has got us through.

I am Anti-Nuclear Antibody Positive (ANA). There is an association between ANA and recurrent pregnancy loss. My consultant has reccomended that I take 75mg Asprin on the confirmation of a positive pregnancy test then once a scan has confirmed viability I will have regular Tinzapraine injections throughout pregnancy.

The Latest!!!

I was due on my period on Sat 12th July but had no period pains, I did a pregnancy tests x 4 and they were all positive. We were not trying yet but I suppose thats the best time. We were going to go on our holiday in August first. I went straight out and bought some Asprin as recomended by the consultant. I am really scared because if the treatment does not work then there is no more hope for us, so fingers crossed. I telephoned the consultants PA to inform him and get an appointment. We go to see him and for a scan on the 29th July. Usually we go slighlty earlier but they have said they need to see a heartbeat before they can give me the injections. The appointment seems so long away and I am sure it will drag. I am really scared but will take one day at a time and hope that this time it is meant to be.

My blogs will tell my story so far and what has happened on my scans.

The main thing is that I am going to be a Mum!! I can't believe it has finally happened and that we have heard the heartbeat and seen our little one moving around looking healthy! x

I am going really well now. Actually starting to eat properly again which is a relief! I go back to the ultrasound place on the 27th Oct for my 19 week scan. Determined not to find out the sex of the baby (have always wanted it to be a surprise) but it will be soooo tempting to find out! Are you going to tell everyone once you find out or keep it your secret?

Ugh, I fell down the stair no less than TWO times today. How fucking shitty. My heel on my rather gorgeous shoes kept getting caught in the hem on the bottom of my gloriously wide legged maternity trousers.. I've got a sore arse cheek on the left and the small of my back is sore from the first fall, and I have grazed knees and an even more agigtated back from the second fall. It's a small mercy that I do actually hold onto the railing and that I didnt fall from the very top of the flight. Both times it was the last 3 o4 steps. Going to see what my back's like tomorrow morning, if still sore, I'm going toring in sick and ring my midwife and see if she wants me to go in and ge checked - I'm sure everything will be fine though right? What do you guys think??


kerrygem80 - Thursday, 25 September
I know exactly what you mean hun...I think its a good idea you send it back, I would...by the way I'm loving your scan pic is this the most recent, how far gone we're you on it? x

my appt. went fine heard the baby heartbeat,was very excited to hear it again,this appt didnt take as long as the others did....i know how you feel about the doppler
when the doctor came in,i tried to find the heartbeat after about 3 to 5 min he found it,it seemed like a life time....he found the baby heartbeat close around my belly button,your about the same as many weeks as i am so i would start around there and see if you hear it.....if not dont panicjust keep trying


monalisalb - Thursday, 25 September
where did you get your doppler from,and was it very expensive?


monalisalb - Thursday, 25 September
i am so happy that everything turned out just fine,know that you have the doppler,it will ease your mind,i wish i had one,i have another appt.tommorrow maybe i'll get a chance to hear my little baby hearbeat again


kerrygem80 - Thursday, 25 September
I'm ok thanks hun...just abit tired, dont get time to stop as Grace has started to get about alot more!!Other than the bleed is everything ok with you! (have you used your doppler yet?) I had one of those summer monitors with Grace but gave up on it as i could never hear anything and it used to stress me out...lol xx

Hi babe, sorry I have been offline for quite a while. Life is so busy at the mo! Sounds like I have a life, its mainly filled with work! Steve got on BRILLIANTLY!! I am so proud of him my chest is going to burst! He made the 30 miles in 11 hours and 45 mins. He really struggled at the 25 mile mark, he said to keep himself going he pictured me waiting at the end with our baby in my arms. How lovely is that? He wanted me to send you a special thank you for your support, we both really appreciate it x How are you? Rx


fdstripled - Wednesday, 24 September
I am happy that after all of your heart achs that all seams to be going well. I will add you to my prayer chain.


minkymoo78 - Tuesday, 23 September
I see the specialist tomorrow but I already know that my blood tests and the scan were perfectly normal so I don't know if they'll do anything else to investigate. I'll see what happens tomorrow and let you know xx


minkymoo78 - Tuesday, 23 September
what cycle day did you get your BFP? I'm only on CD24 in a 30 day cycle so I'm still 6 days early. I got a BFP around CD27/28 last time so hopefully in 3 or 4 days I'll know either way. xx

hi shellyl, I have trouble sometimes with my doppler as well. I just usually keep it steady for a good while and then move slowly always trying to angle downward into my pelvis. After 3 mins sometimes I pick it up. If not I drink some water and wait about 30 mins before trying again. Hope that helps.
