Hello expecting Mommies!

As you see here, I will be you community leader for the August 2012 Babies :) I am so honoured to accept the roll and be with you ladies during this amazing journy. I too amd Due in August. Not sure on an exact date yet but, will find out soon. BUT, not only am I also due in Aug, I had an Aug due date with my son so, I've done this before. I have also been through a couple miscarriages and believe I have some great information I can share. My inbox is always open! I check my messages frequently so, you will get a prompt response. If there's a general question you have, post it here and I will find as much information as I can and make a new thread about it. Odds are, you're not the only one who is curious about it and remember, NO question is stupid or too small to ask. We're here to help! I wish you all the best and look forward to getting to know you all over the next 9 months :)

Thanks Amy for being our community leader!  I look forward to sharing this journey with others.  Hopefully, this will be a successful pregnany for me, as I m/c'd with my last pregnancy). This will be my first. . I am sure I will have a kazillion questions and fears!  I am beyond excited!  

[amy8702]

Always remember, many women who have 1 miscarriage go on to have successful pregnancies.

[mhv]

Thanks Amy!  I am very optimistic.  

[amy8702]

Glad to hear! Even though I've had a few miscarriages I'm still optimistic myself

[mhv]

Sounds like we can lean on each other :). I am 5wks today...you???

[amy8702]

I'm approx 6w4d! Congrats!

[mhv]

Yay!  Yeah, I know my exact date cause we did an fet.  

[amy8702]

I used OPK's but not entirely sure if the test I got was a strong enough positive to be sure

[mhv]

I guess that's the one thing about fetility treatements.... when you do IVF or FET (frozen embryo transfer) you know your conception date.  I just pray that we both continue to move forward without incident.... : )

[amy8702]

My SIL is due next month from an IVF... and she was wrong by 3 days on her due date.. weird huh?? I hope so too.. I'm slowly approaching the 7 week mark which is really a milestone for me :)

[mhv]

7 weeks is awesome!  Wish I was up there with you! Lol. That's awesome about your SiL :). It'll be interesting to see if she was right or the doctor....or if baby picks a date of its own :)

Im so excited im due august 2nd im 7weeks and 2days now.with my first baby my ex is on n off the scene so im most likely gunna be a single mum i have recently been havin really bad cramps but have been told its due to trapped wind as ive had no blood but i worry alot hope u guys can help me out xx

[mhv]

Congrats on your pregnancy.  Sorry to hear of your circumstances.  Hopefully things can be worked out before the baby arrives.  I am pretty sure cramping is normal.  I think we will all worry until we get to see our little ones heartbeats.  Hang in there:)

[amy8702]

Cramping is normal in early pregnancy as everything is growing and yes.... gas!!! as long as you're not in severe pain or bleeding.. i wouldn't be concermed.... to set your mind at ease, you can always speak to your Dr.. Best wishes and congrts

[amy8702]

Hey Leaz! Welcome and congrats!

[mhv]

Wanted to let you know, we had an u/s this morning.  It would appear we are having twins!  It was to early to see the heartbeats, so we go back next week.   :).    

[amy8702]

Oooh!!!! Congrats!!! I still haven't gone to the Dr. Probably after Christmas. Just to be on the safe side I don't want any bad news before Christmas

[mhv]

I am sure you will not get bad news.  I have faith:). We go back on the 27th for another u/s

[Emmalan1]

Thank you so much mhv,I'm trying my hardest to be excited and at the same time so scared of losing another baby,although I'm sure that's natural for anyone going through what we have been through.Its actually quite comforting to talk to people who understand how u feel :) the very best of luck to all of us who will b having beautiful August 2012 babies.We CAN do this xxx
