There has been a request for a BG of this sort, for those who are pg with #1 after suffering a m/c whilst TTC. So here it is! I would respectfully ask that those who already have a child/ren do not chat in this BG.

Wishing you al the very best for a long, healthy and happy pg.

Hello Ladies,

Jlove – YAY! Great news! Fantastic to hear that your US went well. It must be soooo special to see your little baby and the beautiful little heart beat! Well done! Stick baby stick! Feeling the same as you with not trying to get too attached but I am assuming that it will all change if I also have a positive US on Tuesday. Well done Jlove! YAY!!

Loulla – totally agree with you! The little fur babies fill the house with sooo much joy. Couldn’t imagine not having little Diesel at home – how nice is it when you get home and are always welcomed with happiness. He is just over 2 years old – he is a big boy (7.5 KGs). He is a little bit like a dog, follows me everywhere and sits and shakes his paw on command
Thank you very much for calculating when your nausea started – that is giving me some hope that I might get it too in a few weeks. You are soooo funny! 4 scans hahah you are an addict for sure! Great to hear that the scan went well and that you have passed the stage when you MC before – that are great news. And a little tummy poking out – sounds cute!

Lou – Boob grab in the middle of a meeting just priceless. Too funny! We have decided not to go to the RPA and are sitting it out till Tuesday – 5 more sleeps....I hope the time goes by quickly! Love the idea of steeling the US machine – lets do it girls! Not long now for both of us....we can do it! Patience...easier said then done I bought the cosmo pregnancy magazine too but was a little disappointed, bought a different magazine along with it which I enjoyed but can’t remember the name. Will have to check at home and let you know.

ATM as you all know I went and visited my doctor yesterday. I got all my blood results and it looks like I have an overactive thyroid which can be an issue but it is only very slight at the moment so I have to go back in two weeks to get it checked again and if it gets worse he will have to put me on medication as it can harm the baby otherwise...scary....! Otherwise I told him that I am very anxious due to my last miscarriage and not having any symptoms. He basically said I need to relax and that you always want the opposite of what you have meaning if I had horrible sickness I would probably ask him for something to solve that. I mean he was nice about it all but really there is nothing he can do apart from telling me to try and relax a little.

I also received all paper work for US and hospital. Have you girls had to think about going private or public yet? I think it is all a little overwhelming at this early stage but my GP told me that I have to organize it all now as otherwise I will not get an OB/GYN if I want to go private or not a spot in the public hospital if I don’t organize it. I don’t know what to do...I called the Royal North Shore but they only have an answering machine responding to the call which is not very helpful at all and they haven’t called me back yet. Unfortunately my private health insurance only kicks in for pregnancy in August which means that would only cover the actual labour and private room if I go private and none of the appointments up till August which could cost a bomb. Have any of you made a decision of going public or private as yet? And why did you decide to go either way? Would be great to hear your opinions.
