Dear Gals,

For some reason joining this forum has seemed like the final frontier for me.

We'd been TTC our first for over a year when we got pregnant at Christmas and m/c very early. Then we got pregnant again, but I had some spotting and weird bloodtest results. My HCG actually dipped. We followed this up with an u/s, that was inconclusive, and a second u/s that had the baby small for when we know we O'd.

Despite all the early concern, I 've had lots of pregnancy symptoms, sore boobs, and m/s, and I think I'm starting to show. I also sate down and look at a calendar this weekend and realised that the OB at the 2nd ultrasound gave me the impression the baby was two weeks behind, but from my calculations it's closer to a week.

So I'm finally starting to believe that this is going to happen. I spent all yesterday researching diapers, for some odd reason I'm more into the stuff for the baby than the stuff for the pregnancy. IT's like I'm always one step ahead of myself. When I was trying to conceive I was very into prenatal nutrition and exercise, and I researched midwives, and now I haven't even called one.

I'm planning a homebirth, so I'd better get off my duff and start making some calls.

hi gonnabe,
I remember you from TTC & am SO glad to see you here :banana

I can totally relate to your post. After an early m/c in Sept. I was having a really hard time relaxing & enjoying this pg & connecting to this babe, so scared that I might lose it again. My dw was totally connected from the beg & I actually felt jealous. But I now feel totally at peace with enjoying this pg as much as possible for as long as it lasts--and it's great. I'm so much more relaxed.


Anyway, blah blah about me :). Mostly I'm glad you're hear & glad you are experiencing all the right kind of symptoms! (which can be reassuring, eh?)

It's so nice to see a TTC grad here.

It's seems like we've been through so much of the same things, I'm glad we get to be pregnant together.

Are you having any extra monitoring done? How's it going so far for you?
