Okay, this is it! DANIELLA HAD THE BABY! He was born 5/5/06 11:36 a.m. Japan time (10:36 pm 5/4 for those of us back west). Healthy baby boy at 7lbs. 8oz, 20"long. Good news!

Umm. here's my not so good news. I am goign to the doc today. Saw a thin ine of very dark,almost black in the progesterone residue on Tuesday, and again yesterday. Doc thought it wasn't anything. But today I had a whole glob of it when I wiped after goign to bathroom (after a bowel movement, which tends to push the residue down). I called for a sub and am goint oin at 9 am, although I will probably have to sit and wait for doc to see me. I told dh, who was half asleep and nodded at me like, not this crap all over again. My thoughts exactly. I will post later this afternoon, but I am very scared. HAd a pain last night on lower left side, which I thought was gas, but of coure, now my mind is running.

well congrats danellia well done! thats a good wight :) helen i am sure its nothing to worry about remember i went to hospital cos i was bleeding and sore turned out to be a ruptured syst just dont get worked up about it i know its hard but there are so many things that could couse it chin up :)

CONGRATULATIONS DANIELLA!!!!!!! Wonderful, absolutely wonderful news. HELENE - Let us know what you find out at the doctor. Do not panic though. I was told that any number of things can cause bleeding during pregnany. ie: bowel movements, strenuous exercise, sex etc. etc. Please keep your spirits up and we will all be hoping for the best for you. BEE - Well you will be having that baby anyday now then. Have you gone to your due date with your other kids or beyond? Lately I have been thinking about the fact that I would probably be having a baby at the end of May had it not been for my m/c. You know how I have been waking up early the last five days? Well this morning it was 3am and I did have to pee. Maybe things are looking up for me in the baby department. Will know soon enough I guess. Dawn

Yay Daniella.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooo Hoooo Daniella! I am sooo happy for you! Congrats!

CHRISTIE and NICOLE - How are you ladies doing? Have not seen much from you on the forum lately? Dawn

I am doing ok. nothing new here. just waiting for my doctor appointment to hurry up and get here. I go wednesday. I had to cancel my other one because my car broke down. :(

Dawn ~ Just waiting for AF or BFP. Specialist will be running extensive loodwork to test for "15 common causes of m/c" When I get Af he will also test during cycle at different points to monitor hormones/ovulation etc. And if I get a BFP then he will monitor levels very closely. So, just a guessing game now. Hope you are well!

NICOLE - Oh, sorry to hear about your car breaking down. Nothing worse then unexpected car problems and expenses. CHRISTIE - yes, that is right. I remember your last post about you doctor and all the future plans. That sounds great. Hopefully you can get a handle on things if you get a/f and keep everything good if a BFP. I am doing well. Just playing the waiting game as well. I should be expecting a/f or a bfp by next Monday. Trying to be patient and hope for the best. I was just reading some stuff about hormones and testing that Daniella sent me a while back. One thing made me nervous. it said how progesterone supplements may not help if they are not started until after a positive hpt. Too late now to worry about that and I think Daniella is a testament in the other direction. it just makes me nervous as that is one thing I will be having checked ASAP after I get a BFP. Cross your fingers for me early next week. Dawn

Congrats Daniella....that is wonderful news....we all send our best wishes!! Helene.....I hope all goes well, I'm sure it's nothing. Had my appt today, they did another u/s and everything looks good. Healthy 10wk2d baby in there.....my due date is set for Nov 24.....go figure....lol. Anyways....hope everyone else is doing alright. Baby dust to all.

NANABON - Congrats on your appt today and a healthy 10+ week baby :-) That is such wonderful news. I hope we hear from Helene soon with an update. I most likely will have no time to check in at the library tomorrow. That is OK though, maybe by the time I am here next I will have gotten good news on a HPT. Dawn

Thanks ladies for al the well wishes. Everything is fine. Doc looked up the canal and only saw white residue, no discoloration or bleeding or anything. SHe couldn't find the baby on the u/s in her office but said that is not uncommon for this early and my size (not a skinny girl! heh, heh!) and sent me for an intravgainal u/s. I had to wait about 2 1/2 hours, so I went to my sister's house who was thankfuly home and played in the backyard with my niece who is the cutets thing on the face of the planet. Went back for th u/s and the baby was fine - heartbeat is 150-something and I now have a pictire of my little one. It is so cute. I tried to scan it in on my computer but it came out awful - in the pic you can see a head and body and the beginnings of arms and legs budding. When I scan it in - you see two barely visible and disconnected white spots. So annoying! I wanted to send it to my parents! So all is well. Nanbaon that is great news - but how funny - my due date is Nov 25th and I am at 11 weeks exactly today! Yes, Coda, I kept thinking about you and how it was just a cyst and that was my biggest comfort at the time. Now I am thinking of you because I have the STIFFEST shoulders and neck since I got home - obviously due to STRESS! LOL! I keep all my stress in my shoulders or so someone once told me. Goodluck Dawn! Good luck Christie! Bee - you have another two weeks yet, right? Allie - how are you doing? Nicole - I know how that feels - breaking down on the way to doc appt! Take care all! I am off to pick up my last round of progesterone supplements. I stop taking them on the 15th.

Yes 2 weeks to go for me I went 4 3 4 days over with others but never had a pregnancy like this tight feelings. Thats great news for Daniella...Helene Im glad it all worked out for you.

thats really good news helen i bet ur soo relieved those cpl of hours u have to wait feel like forever thou. have u made it past ur last mc date? my baby is a livlely thing the doc at my last appt had to chase her round with the dopler to find her heart beat she is also 150bpm lol bee u should have ur baby on the 17th of may thats mine and my twins birthday :)

Hi, Bee & Coda! Thanks! Bee, you must be so excited - I bet the girls are going crazy waiting. Coda - That is so cute that they had to "chase" the baby! She is going to keep you on your toes when she starts walking one day! ha, ha! I had a tlittle bit of that blackish stuff again today, so I saved it in a plastic bag (gross, I know) and plan on dropping by the doc's office tomorrow to show them. I also have had this annoying pain, but it is not in my belly. It is right below my rib cage to the left slightly - it feels like after you do a hundred push ups and the next day your abdominal muscles hurt. I had it yesterday whle we were food shopping, and when the cart got heavy I just made dh push it (foruntately he was there) and after dinner i laid down and it eventually just lessened and went away. LASt night I felt it again when I woke up to go to the bathroom (had tons of pressure down there which freaked me out but it turned out just HAD TO GO really bad - bowel movement - and I felt fine afterward. But it has come much milder on and off again today. It feels like a muscle strecthing - have either of you had anything like this at 10-11 weeks? I keep telling myself that it is just my uterus stretching, and maybe my stomach mucscles getting pushed farther out. I have also had a a very mild twinge on my lower left side nearer to my hip which I attribute to gass or uterus strectching as it, too, isn't "deep within" and often is accompanied by some stomach rumbling. Threw up yesterday so that is a good sign, and today was feeling a bit naseuos, though not too bad. Haven't eaten much, so I really need to go make some lunch. Anyway, just looking for someone to say - eh, don't worry - it is just your uterus stretching. Ooh, yeah, that one on my side is definietly gas - i can feel it now. But that one up top - defintiely fels like a muscle pulling or stretching. Anyway, I don't like that black stuff even if it is teeny and just pinpoints. My other thought on that is that maybe I nicked myself when I put the applicator for the progesterone up there - a couple of times it felt a wee bit sharp when I touched the end where the tab had been ripped off. Okay! enough obsessing - off to eat! And yeah, COda - even though I have bouts of naseua and no appetite, when I feel better I often want to just shovel the food in. Ha, ha! But not always. Besides, I can't eat fast anymore. It took me 40 minutes one night to eat a bowl of pasta because I kept resting between bites. ha, ha!
