I had my 19 week scan yesterday and i was thrilled to see that the baby i am carrying shows no major deformaties. nad it is with in the normal range for size. i got to see my baby for the first time in that "new" 4d image it was fantastic!!! i only have a black and white copy of it tho... but hey it's better then nothing.

it is so beautiful.

i decided that i am going to wait to find out the sex of my baby as i don't care what i have cause i know i will love it anyway and i just want it to be healthy.

looks like i'll get the chance to be a mum this time, :)

i'm so happy. the hospital has been really good with me.

now i just have look forward to the remainder of my pregnancy...

dear minti friends.

i am 14 weeks and 3 days today yey. I've got my first hospital appointment at the mater mothers. i'm a wee bit nervious.

SO far everything is showing up really good, i had a 12 week scan 3weeks on friday and i was so happy to see that i have a 99% chance of my baby being 100%healthy. they manage to reduce my chances of having down syndrome/test defects by as close to 100% as they can.

I got the first good glimps of my unborn baby. it was really magical. i can see all of its spine (as much as you can see at that time) which means  that it hasn't got major spina bifida. the down side is that there is still the slight chance of it having it down lower but i can handle that. cause it would still grow up as a normal child.

The Lady that did my scan was really nice. i had my scan at the hospital. and she took a really nice photo of my babys head. it was so awesome.

my next scan is at 19 weeks which is on 16th July, and i think i'm actually looking forward to my next scan.

anyway i'm looking forward to being able to hear my babys heart beat for the first time today.  Maybe i'm going to be 3rd time lucky after all.

To ALL those lovely ladies out that that are trying for a baby or just found out they're pregant go and get yourself some stuff from the chemist called ELIVIT it might be a little bit more expensive but it's the best.  it can reduce the chances of having spina bifida and test tube defects by up to 90%!! So my advice is spend that little extra bit of money and give your baby the best start in life. Cause i know i have!!!

I'll keep everyone upto date from here on in.

lots of love and hugs

i just went for my first scan yesterday for my 3rd pregancy.

i found out i was 6weeks 5 days

i didn't like the person that did my scan one bit. he told me because my husband is over 35years old it increases the risk  of having down syndrome babies.

that made me so scared. because my first baby had a major case of spina bifida and i had to terminate. so it seems like everytime i go for a scan i always get bad news.

anyhow, he found some really minor bleeding in the placenta but he said it's nothing to worry about.  that made me even more scared.

there's not a day that goes by that i don't worry about when i'm going to lose this one aswell.

i have around 5-6 weeks until i go for my next scan but this time it's going to be at the Royal Brisbane Womens Hospital so i know i won't have to put up with arrigont scanners anymore.

what is wrong with people these days don't they have any sympathy. or do they just see it as a job with no emotions.

this time i'm really trying to take it easy with this one. my doctor said i have to keep my stress levels down.

My husband doesn't help cause he thinks that i'm suppose to take it easy not totally stop doing everything. But i'm scare that if i don't stop i'll lose it.

i didn't know how fraggile you are during your first trimester.

i'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for this one and pray that i get to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy and after.

always thinking
