Wow, so it wasn't what we expected from a visit to the doctor considering we were just going to ask about safety on conception etc, to get a call a few days later to inform us we are expecting already.
But all the same great news, Extremely anxious to say the least but still...
Hope everyone has a safe New Years and a sober one at that for the most.

That is great news Lisa. Do they know how far along you are? My friend is about to have her 2nd c-section in 13 months so I am sure you will be fine like her. Are you going to be under specialist care?

Best of luck for the coming months and an uneventful and joyous birth

Hi Lisa

Congratulations, it's nice to have you here on the pregnancy board. Its a bit scary the second time around after a loss, but we've all been there, and now we can be here to support each other.

I'm still having trouble getting my head around the fact that the baby probably has not died since my last m/w appointment! You can't help but think the worse. My tummy has just started to show a little bump during the last week, so I suppose that means its growing after all. Talk about lots of conflicting feelings

I wonder if the paranoia ever ends? Maybe when baby turns about 30 or so? LOL

Good luck Lisa, I hope that everything goes well for you this time around.

Lizzie

Hi Lisa,

Congratulations on your being pg!!!

I hope to be joining you guys soon too.

Melanie

(Yes Lizzie about 30yrs old sounds okay to me!)

Oh Lisa, congratulations darling, it is a confusing time, but exciting never the less.

I must admit i am terrified and not as happy as i thought i would be but i put that down to the fact that we are still greiving so much for Jenson. It's so hard to get my head around the fact that this is another baby and not Jenson. And I feel guilty that i am unable to see this baby in it's own right. This confusion does hurt but I know it is something i will have to deal with.

Well done darling

Love

What awesome news! Congrats!

Thank you everyone!!
Have been away on holiday since i last posted, a much needed break away and time to tell the family and close friends as of course there was no drinking over the Christmas New year period. Thankfully it went down well, actually they were all a bit more excited about it than I am.
Nikki, I so relate to how you feel about it all, fine so I have never m/ced but as I am so close to so many who have an I am now so much more aware of all that I worry about if we will make it to a "viable age",Is it alive in there, then will it be stillborn but I guess the most prominnent (sp) would still be once it is born what will happen... I think that makes sence. I am petrified of the whole prospect and hope that I will at some stage be able to enjoy it
I am due the 12th of August so I am 8 weeks 4 days, but Nikita and Eden were both born at 31 weeks so I am thinking it will be born some time in June, But hoping not. Failing that it will be born about the 1st of August, 3rd C-Section, but elective this time.And I have had a referral put in to the specialist, Yes.
Going up to visit Eden once we came home hid hard, not the visiting her but in the space from Boxing day till yesterday there has been 3 more babies buried at the cemetery. Ian and I have found we talk about this baby as if it not going to make it, a lot of if's, I feel guilty for that too but I just can't actually see it any other way at this time, as horrid as it is we even talked about what we would do diff if it doesn't make it. The whole thing is making me feel ill to be honest at the moment , as if I wasn't ill enough.
Then to top it off it is coming up a year since my neice passed away which is also the dates my pg with Eden were taken from and it is all drowning me a bit, Thankfully we have some really great friends and you all who have been great and really do help.
I think that people need to be educated and made aware so much more of just how precious Babies are and that it is possible to lose them at any stage.
Sorry this has turned into a vent but it has helped so thanks.
