    thanks momamia its hard but I'm remaining positive. At this stage not much else I can do. There was progression from 13-15dpo so got to hold onto that.

    I haven't tried the pencil test but if all is well I a few days I might do. I just want to be 12 weeks now, all my m/c have happened before 12 weeks so I feel like its a my safe time after.

    I'm more worried about other peoples reactions, because they seem to hurt more than anything else. I'm even dreading telling people we are pregnant.

    very few signs for me, just the strange feeling when I haven't ate for a while, not peeing more and my boobs are ok. They might be slightly firmer but after BF 3 kids it might just be wishfull thinking!

    I'm worried about people's reactions too. My DH's family thought we were crazy for having more than 2. I think his mom will be happy, but that's about it. My family is huge, so new babies aren't a big deal for them. It's mostly extended family and the in-laws that I'm concerned about. I don't know why it upsets me so much to think about because we hardly see them. I think I just don't like knowing that they are judging me.

    I pee constantly, my boobs are super sensitive, I am nauseous almost constantly, and I feel horrible if I haven't eaten every 2 hours. It's incredibly frustrating, but I appreciate the symptoms. They constantly remind me that I'm pregnant. I also have an aversion to meat, which happens every time I'm pregnant. It started much sooner with this one though. Has anyone told their other kids yet? If not, when are you planning to? We are thinking of telling ours when we reach 14 weeks (that's my safe zone as I miscarried at 13 weeks with my first mc). We told them right away with the last mc (my then 14 yo saw the test, oops!!) and they were devastated after the loss. I don't want to do that to them again.

    Purple I am not planning a home birth but I want a birth center birth if possible. I meet with the midwife next week and she will let me know if my pregnancy is low risk enough. I have hemorrhaged every delivery but only the one with ds1 was life threatening and I think that was only because the ob "wanted to see if my body would take care of it" she was an idiot. If the midwife thinks the risk is too high than I will use a midwife in the hospital. I just really want a water birth. No hospitals do those here

    Baby- I know I have been watching my lines get darker but they haven't been getting MUCH darker so it freaks me out too but I know lots of others including atomic say to not rely on how dark your tests are... When is your first appointment to get blood drawn? That will give you a better idea.

    For what it's worth the levels on the weeks indicator are pretty solid... It can pick up a reading of 10 for 1-2 weeks but hcg has to be 153 or higher to get 2-3 week reading and even I think 4 weeks is a bit early to get that... Per due date calculator I'm 4 weeks tomorrow and my hcg is maybe 20 at this point I would bet if it doubled perfectly from Sunday... If that's the case you are maybe over 100, MAYBE... And still under the minimum to get the 2-3 week reading but still within normal range for our bean to be sticky and happy

    Google says heart starts beating 18 days after conception... That would mean regardless i should see a heartbeat next wednsday right? It will be between 19-21 days so heartbeat should be there?

    Not necessarily. Usually it doesn't start beating until your hcg is over 2000. Generally that means around 6-8 weeks. So don't be worried if it isn't beating yet. It could just be too early. They'll usually have you come back for another ultrasound a week later to check for the heartbeat again.

    Can you upload a pic from a phone?

    Had my scan at the ultrasound school, im actually measuring 9 weeks so a bit further than I thought. I had 5 students all have a turn of finding bladder, cervix, ovaries, and baby. Baby looks happy, heartbeat was good.

    The cyst on my ovary has grown bigger though, from 5cm 2 weeks ago to 6.5cm now. We were hoping it would get smaller, may have to take it out if it gets much bigger, or it may pop which isn't going to be much fun for me.

My first was 3 weeks late and an emergency. 2nd basically didn't go into labour and they wouldn't induce me so she was a section and last one tried for a vba2c but again didn't go into labour and they would only let me go so far past my dates. I tried everything to get into labour. EVERYTHING. some things I'm ashamed to admit to. Iv never even had a Braxton hicks. I think I'm just broken. But I hope you get your home birth, ive been to a few and they are amazing x
    I'm sorry you weren't able to get your vbacs. Will you attempt again this time?


    My youngest was born at home but last time I hired an independent midwife. This time she isn't available unfortunately so I thought I would try the hospital program. I'm hope I'm still considered low-risk, my births have both been straightforward and uneventful but I did lose a lot of blood from a miscarriage and needed 2 transfusions so hopefully it doesn't go against me.

    With the test progression I was watching mine and was convinced my hcg wasn't going up a few times due to not much change but it was more than doubling so tests aren't a good measurement.

    I'm worried about telling people if we get that far. I don't think many people expect it so it will be a surprise. Even after everything I have been through I still feel guilty about potentially going on maternity leave from work. I know I shouldn't but I can't help but feel bad about it.

    We won't tell our boys until after 12 weeks and didn't tell them about the other two. Even with me ending up in hospital both times we just made something up about me being sick and they seemed to accept it.

    I am going to have another hospital birth. My water broke with DS1. I went into labor naturally with DS2. I went into labor naturally a week overdue with DS3 but his birth was very traumatic. He was born not breathing and completely blue in the face. His face didn't get back all of it's color for like 4 days after birth. Then he died at 15 weeks. It was horrible. I also went into labor naturally with DS4 but I was 2 weeks overdue. His birth was relatively quick but he was enormous (9lbs 4oz)! I refuse to have a baby bigger than that as he almost didn't fit through the birth canal. It was very frustrating to push him out because he was so big. I have to talk to my doctor today and let him know that I won't go past my due date like that again.

    I went in for blood work again today. I should have the results around 2:30 EST. I'm really nervous about the results. I hope they are good.
