Due August 2018

Morning ladies

@Jay - I'm with Carien on this one... It could swing either way! I am one of three girls and my moms experience with me was totally different to the rest but alas here I am all girl I'm sure your bloods will come back just fine!

@Carien - YAY for getting a decent nights sleep!!! I def think the little bit of time will help your cousin, she definitely wont be totally okay but will def have had a little time to process. It took me months to not feel like an emotional wreck after my late miscarriage. Ja its crazy how difficult it is to make a baby!! When we did our first IVF to retrieve and freeze embryos we had 13 fertilise but in a matter of 2 days that number had dropped by half!! Like trying naturally that is atleast 6 months if you think of it that way! These little babies are definitely miracles not to be taken for granted. Are you going to find out the gender of this one? Yay to two days of nausea peace!! Lets hope it stays that way as you progress further along

AFM, this is so painful being back at work! I'm not entirely motivated right now

Morning ladies, hope everyone had a good night. My son decided to let me sleep last night which was kind of him he is very much mommy's boy and does not want my husband at all at night, so it always falls on me. He was up for hours on Tue night, of course I had to start working on Wednesday so it was a rough day to say the least! He only went to sleep after 8 last night (he is in bed by 7 or just after) but at least he did sleep.

@Chanti - yes agreed, it will be very hard for my cousin to watch me progress, this is why I hope they decide to try again soon. She didnt have to have a D&C, they were able to get all the tissue to come down with some meds. I am trying to keep my distance while still showing support for that exact reason. We will see them in a couple of weeks time at her sister's daughters birthday party, so hoping things have settled a bit by then - not saying that they should be over it by then, more that there is a bit more peace in their hearts by then, dont think you would ever get over something like that. My heart absolutely goes out to every single woman who has lost a child in pregnancy or after birth, I just think that would have to be the most horrible thing to live through. I had a friend who worked in a lab with embrio's and she always told us if we only knew how many things can go wrong during conception and (unfortunately) pregnancy, we would know that every single child that is born normally is an absolute miracle from God and should be treated as such, but I think b/c we see it so frequently, we just take it for granted.

Anyway, some happy thoughts - i have had 2 days and one morning (so far) with no vimiting! whoo-hooo! Got to count those small wins

@Jay - my first two pregnancies were COMPLETELY different, as in light years, and both were boys, we were convinced with my 2nd that it was a girl, everyone around us was convinced b/c my pregnancy was so different, and he is all boy! Maybe you will be different from me, that is my experience.

What are you guys "feeling" your babies are? I am really scared to feel either way. I had really bad gender dissappointment with my 2nd (i know we should just be happy that the baby is healthy, but trust me, you really cant help how you feel) and was in a really bad head space for most of my pregnancy, I loved him from the second I saw him and he has been mommy's boy from that moment, but it was really just so difficult for me during my pregnancy. Anyway, so b/c of that I am really scared to feel either way. This is our last baby, either way, we will not have another, we really hope its a girl, but we would love a boy just as much as we love our boys now, I think it would just be the adjustment to the knowledge that I would never have a girl that would take some time.

Anyway, so many things going through my head...hope you guys have a lovely day

@ Chanti, thanks . I have a little girl and this time around everything is different. Totally different "preggy" symptoms leading up to my BFP and feel a bit nauseous. I never had morning sickness and had such a easy first pregnancy... hoping it doesn't get worse. Nervous about the bloods on Monday and will book my dating scan.

@ Carien, holding thumbs that the vomiting stays away. Finding about the gender is so exciting.

I am still on holiday till the 15th

@Carien - Yay! I'm so glad your scan went well So sorry that you are still suffering so badly with your nausea and vomiting, I have just been feeling off but fortunately no all out vomiting!! I'm sorry about your cousin That is so sad, especially that you were so close together, its going to be hard for her watching you progress through your pregnancy. Saying some prayers for her xxx So excited for the next scan! The big one is 25 Jan for me

Hello ladies! Happy New Year! hope you had a merry xmas and crossing fingers for a good year ahead

I have been meaning to reply, but just slipped my mind. All good on my side, still have hectic all day sickness, been vomiting for the first team, but (knock on wood) have had 2 days non-vomit which is great! Other than that I just feel bloated, might just be b/c I enjoyed the holiday season a bit too much though! My boxing classes starts back up on Monday, looking forward to that to get back into some sort of fitness routine.

I had my first scan on the 20th and all looked good. For both of my previous pregnancies, I always measured bigger, even at the beginning. This time I measured 2 days behind which is a first for me. Baby's heartbeat was a steady 139, also slower than my previous two, but doc was not concerned. Been trying to get an apt with the fetal assessment place but think they are still closed b/c their phones just ring. Hopefully they still have some spots available in the window I have, so hopefully, by the end of the month we will know what this little munchkin is . 9w2d and counting for me. My cousin who was about 11 days ahead of me unfortunately lost her little one. We are all so sad, it was their first, we are hoping that they can conceive easy enough again when they are ready.

@Chanti - so happy all went well with your scan, have heard of ppl taking baby asprin throughout their pregnancies, its supposed to help with blood supply to the uteris as far as I know.

@Jay-bee - so happy you got your BFP!! Welcome to say sure Chanti and Reese will agree

Anyway, hope everyone is well, I am back at work, starting slowly, have not told my boss yet, will only tell them after my next apt.

Hope everyone is doing well otherwise

@Reese, you back at work yet? How are you feeling?
