Cat's 9 months

Well hello there!!

I am going to keep myself amused in this journal on my journey in becoming a Mummy for the second time...

Grace is my DD, she is 2 and a half....I just love her so much, she is perfect! I am married to Martin and am very happy with my lot!
After University and various career paths I decided to settle as working as an Area Sales Manager, a lot of work done from home and the dusty street of Manchester!!! Very demanding job but suits my pocket and family life!!!!

I am 4 weeks and 4 days preggers and am feeling very relaxed. I had a mc last August but am not goin to be paranoid!

Just a quick hello to everyone and I hope you enjoy my journal!!!!

4w 5d

Have decided to get an early scan at 6 weeks, so am ringing my EPU tomorrow and sorting it.
But then will have to wait till week 20 before I have another...so going to look into having a Nuchal scan me thinks....but will ring a clinic and look into this...may just have a few more re-assurance scans...I dunno??? See how I feel I suppose..
I have allready got a really good dopler that listens to the baby's heartbeat...I used this with my DD every evening- this gave me so much reassurance!!!! U can use this after 10 weeks (sometimes earlier) so will see how I feel between the 6 week-20 week wait?! I don't want to find out the sex if I can help it...so my scans are purely just to see if everything is growing ok etc...
Well there are my thoughts for today...boobs a tingle, gas a plenty (my IBS isn't helping either), the odd sensation in abdomen...but still relaxed and enjoying being pregnant!!!!

Over and Out!

Great idea lovely xxx

Congratulations and wishing u very healthy happy 9 months xx

5 weeks

Well today is abit of a milestone for me as I lost my baby last year when it was 5 weeks old, even though I was 13 weeks gone (it had died a long time before)...
I casually rang the Docs to see if urine sample had come back...and my pregnancy test was negative...It was the same urine used when I got my BFP (but the next day 'old wee') with the CB Digi...what do the docs use???? They should use good ones...sheeesh...but it could b coz of the 'old wee'...
So what did I do...yes, you guessed it- used my remaining CB Digi...of course it was 'PREGNANT'..but just had to make sure!!!lol

I have booked in with the EPU for an early scan which is April 2nd...I will be 8 weeks then...its not a dating scan, so it looks like I can still have the 12 week scan!!! And then up until 20 weeks, I will use my doppler!!!
Also I have booked my first appointment telephone call with the midwife for April 4th....

Still getting tingly boobs and mild movements in abdomen...also feel like I need to trump, but don't really, if you know what I mean!!! (TMI)

Also started to think about ectopic pregnancies...why do we do things like this??? I haven't got any symptoms or anything but I just can't help myself thinking about the worst case scenarios...damn the internet!!!

But I am working very hard to keep myself busy...and Grace is entertaining me no end at the mo! Its her first day at Nursery tomorrow!!!

Over and Out
xxxx:icecream::ninja::fool::thumpup:

Hey Cat - good luck with your early scan. Hope all goes well.
Just have to say - my sis also treks rounds sunny Manchester selling sanitary bins!!!!!!!!:rofl:
Anyway, have a lovely pregnancy and good luck to Grace for her 1st day at nursery.

Good luck at your first scan!!! I know I can't wait until mine next week :)

Hello!hello! i was making sure you were making yourself confortable in the pregnancy section of the forum :) looks like you are moving in for the next 9 months:):):)

oh and i will be your noisy neighbor soon!

Thanks Miel!!!!
Hey...you can be my neighbour any day!!!!
:hugs:

5 wks 2 days

Still feel the same really...mild movements in abdomen from time to time...boobs really ting-a-ling-a-linging....

For the past few days have been googling mad things and imagining symptoms eg- Ectopic Pregnancy...
Thoughts about ectopic still lingering...although have stopped googling...and my Dad simply just said, 'too much info can be dangerous sometimes darling', and my Dad is always right!!! So am sort of better about my psycho weirdo ectopic negativity....
Just want April 2nd to come fast...so I can see heartbeat....
Come on April 2nd!!!!!

:dohh::happydance::cloud9::headspin:

5 Weeks 5 Days

Boobs now throbbing lol...got mild AF like feelings today, but not uncomfortable...
Felt abit sick before...and actually felt happy as the hormones are acting how they should...
I am really symptom watching coz of mc last year....

I am feeling abit more optimistic...only 2 weeks to my scan! I cannot wait!!!!!!
Can you believe I have to be there at 8am...hmmmm...??

Over and Out

Those AF pains yesterday were the start of a mc.:cry:
Went to the loo before bed and when I wiped it was brown....then this morning it turned to dark red...enough to wear a panty liner.
I rang my EPU and they asked me to come in at 12noon so they could test my HCG levels...

I was in complete shock coz I still have all the symptoms...and if you see my entry yesterday, I thought they were heightened!!!!

So Midwife rang me today and told me my HCG levels were too low for the pregnancy to continue...
So am going to have to endure the natural passing over the next couple of days....I did this last year, so I know what to expect (Paracetamol and surfboards at the ready)!!!!
Will probably happen over night or tomorrow!?

Hey, but I am ok!!! I will just get back on the horse quicker than last year!!! I know I will have a baby number 2!!!! I can see myself with 2 children- I am kinda weird like that!!!:wacko:
I look at my Grace and thank the Lord for her...but say 'hey, you...my God...will you give her a brother or sisiter already!!!!'....he has got to listen to my nagging one day!!!!

So hopefully, next time I write in my journal, it will be to say that I have a sticky bean....

Take care everyone! xxxx:hugs::hugs:

OMG hunni. Im so so so so sorry....i dont no what to say, i really dint expect to read what i jus red if you ever wana talk jus pm me kk take care babes x x x x x x x x

Oh bloody hell hun I am so flippin sorry :hugs:

I have sooooo much admiration for you, your attitude is amazing, teaches me a thing or too about getting down when I get Af that's for sure.

Well my thoughts are with you hunni, make sure you rest and look after yourself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Cat!! NO!!! Im so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should know what to say, being in the same boat, but I dont. Im smack in the middle of the 'natural passing' bit too, I guess, and im in quite a bit of pain physically too... and emotionally, despite my blah di blah, I've been crying all day... :cry:
But, I'm going to try to copy your attitude! :hugs:
We'll be back in TTC together, next bullseye wins!!
:hugs:

a musical term for you.....

Never B-sharp
Never B-flat
Always B-natural

So sorry Cat. I'll remember your fantastic attitude, and Wendy's, if ever this happens to me. xx
