Pregnancy Info HOME

BM5, really sorry to hear about your co-workers, that is so sad. It is very true that each day is a blessing, and no one knows the hour or time that they will be gone. We need to be aware of that but at the same time we need not worry. I will be thinking of you all, take it easy. XOXO

Good morning all! And it really is a great morning for me. The sun is shining, my dh is home for a change, and I have pretty much stopped bleeding. Thanks for all of your concern. I am convinced now that it was from bd'ing the other morning. My poor dh will have to go without again. He is pretty understanding though and I don't think he would want to take a chance either. My internet was down yesterday. I hate living without the computer even for a day. I hope Tracy's news is as good as mine. She was quite far along wasn't she? BM5 - wow 2 to 5X per day? I don't think I've seen that kind of action since I was a teenager lol!! I told my dh he was lucky at 2x per week so I won't tell him about you!! As far as cramping goes, I think that's pretty normal the first month or so. I had cramping on and off for the first little while but mine may have been caused by my hematoma which is actually a collection of blood that causes the placenta to come away from the uterine wall. It is apparently quite common although I didn't have this with my previous 2 pregnancies. Hope everyone had a fun Halloween. It was really cold here, but at least not raining. My son ate so much candy he said he was too full to sit up and went off to bed early lol! Good luck Sann on Friday. KD - I'm with you - chocolate makes everything better. Hopeful, hope you are feeling better. Lovemy3 and KD - you need some of BM5's energy!! Have a great day.

My dear ladies, I am speechless for all the support I got from you, I am here now, you do not worry about me, Sann, I know I worried you and Val, we were a long time TTc friends, but I am back, and joining Lovemy3 and KD in there trip to TTC. I will be waiting for my period to start, then will take it from there. I am so worried about Tracy; I hope she can write anything for us. Thank you so much all of your kind words and support.

BM5 , thanks God my husband does not read this thread, he will feel sorry for himself : ) . 2-5 X a day??????? HOLY loooooooool

Hi Col....SOOOOOO happy to see you, am glad you are back. How are you feeling physically? I've missed you. When are you expecting your period? Hugs to you....Karen....So glad your bleeding has stopped...that was scary, glad you are better now. Gosh, now if we knew how tracy was, that would be good. Hoping and praying shes just on bedrest and computerless...Hugs to all XOXO

Uvamom...from posting on Part 5..... Welcome and congrats...what a lovely surprise. I hope the shock is wearing off and all the excitement of carrying a new baby is setting in. Welcome and congrats again!

Sorry guys, I tried to read through all the posts, but there were just too many and I don't like to sit up for very long periods of time. The blood/spotting continues. It's intermittent. The doc said it could be from so many things. He ordered me on bedrest, so that's where I've been. I believe it's from losing the twin, but also from stopping 500mg of progesterone supplementation every day, so abrubtly. I stopped on Thursday and Monday morning there was spotting. I have an appointment in the morning with the doc, so please hold out hope that the baby is fine. I am really trying to believe that this will turn out well. Back to the couch for me. Thank you so much for your concern, you guys are awesome!

Hi Tracy: Good to hear from you and that you are okay. I know how you feel as I have been bleeding on and off too. I am trying to be positive. Keep resting and all the best.

Good to hear from you...let us know what happens tomorrow XOXO Karen... hope you are well too, lets hope all this bleeding stops..goodness where did this come from XOXCO

TRACY: So good to hear from you! You and your baby will be in my prayers tonight, I'm glad that you are resting, it sounds like that's whats best right now. COL: So glad you came back to the thread and I'm looking forward to your future posts. It's easy to get caught up in a lot of emotions on these threads as so many are going through so many things. I started thinking about why some people are blessed differently. It doesn't always make sense to me. I'd like to believe that I'm exactly at where I'm supposed to be at (despite what I try to convince myself!). I have to continue to believe that there's a reason for everything and trust that I may not have much control with the outcome. Besides, it's all I can do to control what little I can in my life, much less spending time worrying about what I can't. So, I've decided to take the blessing I have been given with the love of my soulmate and embrace it. Oops, sorry about that...I think it's still my co-workers on my mind. I'm sure I'll be back to energetic BM5 2-5 xday girl by tomorrow! :) Belly rubs and Baby Dust to everyone! Sweet dreams and Good Night.

Sleeptight and sweetdreams!

Hey col..see you are online..how are you feeling?

Must have missed you..goodnight

Hello all! Col - it's GREAT to have you back so soon. I am immensely proud of you and in awe of your positive approach. You are an incredibly strong and brave woman and I applaud you. I read your post on the Missed miscarriage thread and I totally agree - why can't the world be less complicated so that we can simply support each other no matter what we believe in or who we are? At least we can try to teach that to our children and share that thought with our friends and family and hopefully it will be a feeling that will slowly spread amongst us all. At least it's worth a try. In any case, you are clearly a beautiful person who deserves to be the wonderful mother you will be and consider yourself SMOTHERED with Baby Dust -:¦:-•:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-•. •:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:- from me every day from now on!!!!!!!!!! Re. my update - well the sore throat has now given way to a blocked up nose, tight chest and cough which seems to be clearing a lot of catarrh - all a bit uncomfortable but at least I know the worst is over and I'm on the mend. Thanks for all your well wishes. Tracy - so glad that you're resting. I'm sure that's what you need. I really hope that the doctor's appointment goes well today and that you find the energy to post your update as soon as you are able. You and your baby are in my thoughts. Babymakes5 - So sorry to hear about your co-workers. That's an awful piece of news and very difficult to handle. Don't bottle up your feelings though and make sure you talk about it with other people who knew them as it will be cathartic. Re. your pregnancy - I'm glad the cramping has eased. I know exactly what you mean about being in the bathroom more than anywhere else in the house. I feel like I should move in there permanently sometimes! lol!!! What a bore!! Still - you really shouldn't be cutting down on your fluids to ease the situation (I can't believe I'm giving advice to a mother of 4!! LOL!!!) because you need it to keep baby happy - even through the night! The way I look at the night situation is that it gets my body into practice for waking up every few hours for feeding! Karen - so glad the bleeding has stopped. That's a huge relief - now make sure you stay relaxed with your feet up for a few days! lovemy3 - thank you so much for your rea__surance about the Strep thing. Like I said above, I'm feeling much better so I think all is well really. (I go to the doctor tomorrow anyway to find out for sure). My next OB/Gyn test/US is on 29th November so I'm now on a long wait to see my bean again. Thankfully I've got my birthday in the meantime when me and my husband are going away for a few days so I can look forward to that. Also I have quite a bit of work to catch up on so that will keep my mind occupied. We have decided not to go ahead with the amnio and trust in fate as it has usually worked out for us that way. It was a difficult decision but in the end we both went with our hearts and gut feelings - it just feels right for us - and so now we'll just have another detailed US in the 20th or 21st week to check that all is going well. To you and KD - I'm thinking of you and sending loads of Baby Dust your way! -:¦:-•:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:-•. •:*¨¨*:•.-:¦:- Oh yes - and Uvamom - MANY CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy and welcome to the most supportive thread in the world!!! Can't wait for your updates! TTYL!

Good morning all, Hopeful...glad to hear you are on the mend. You must have peace now as well having made up your mind about the amnio. You have had wonderful results , so thats great you don't need to worry about it. I hope when I get pregnant my NT and bloodwork is like that and I can stop there as well. My sil had false positives and as well as a good friend and it was horrible. One opted for the amnio and one didn't. Both had healthy perfect ittle babies. So now you have a little bit of a wait to see little bean again. It'll fly by quickly. Nothing to report here. CD10 and am going to start opk testing, I know its VERY early but I got those cheap little strip tests and am curious about my levels, so what the heck, I don't feel pumped about this month, not overly eager and obsessed yet-lol. I feel like I have just said, ok God in your timing. (as if it was ever in mine in the first place-lol). anyone, I'm acknowleding my surrender ! So, thats the scoop here, when is your Birthday? KD.. whats going on with you...how much longer till test day? How are you feeling? I remember you once told me i think, that you had af symptoms and was preg. with ds, so hold on till the end! Sann, good luck tomorrow with the anio, it will be good and give you rea__surance, I have heard that they are not painful etc. You'll do great! Let us know how it all goes. Hope veryone else had a good night, ttyl

Good Morning, Tracy, I'm really glad you're still hanging in there. I hope your appt gives you more relief. Rest Up. Col, Welcome back. You are a strong woman, I'll be ttc right along w/ you as I believe this month's a bust too. I started spotting again. So I'm sure AF will be here by tomorrow. Baby5, I'm so sorry to hear about the devastating car crash, and you are so right. It really makes you appreciate what you do have, so I must say, I was pretty upset when I started to spot yest. & I read your post & said to myself "Snap out of it," look how much worse things could be. My heart goes out to that family, you & all of your coworkers. Hopeful, glad you are feeling at least on the mend. I woke up w/ a sore throat myself, but i don't think it's anywhere as bad as what you're going thru. I hope you're feeling much better. Once again, your words are eloquent & poignant. Karen, Hope the bleeding has subsided some. Rest up. Gotta get DS off to preschool, ttyl.
