RubyRose's Pregnancy Thread : Baby #3

[RubyRose]

Okay, I thought since last time around I didn't keep a very good pregnancy journal I'd try again.

[RubyRose]

Sorry! My laptop is being extremely strange tonight.

So ... after my period failed to show on the 1st of February, I decided on the 4th to do a pregnancy test. I received a faint positive. Confirming it on the 6th with a slightly darker positive result.

To be honest it was a very big shock. Emotions were running rampant, and we only made the final decision that we were keeping the baby on the 9th February. After having Lilia arrive 12 weeks premature, but doing well, we were surprised and worried that the same fate may befall this one. And having one baby on top of another ... the idea itself was mind boggling. Truth be told, I really did shy away from any mention of abortion.

As of today, the 15th February, having just had my bloods taken, and getting the results sometime between Monday and Wednesday, we're doing fine.

My due date at the moment, is around the 10th October 2008.

I am 6 weeks pregnant.

My goodness, another baby? :) Were you guys planning this, or is s/he a surprise?

[Autumn]

Warm supportive hugs to you darlin' along with energy for a smooth full term pregnancy!

[TheWomanMonster]

Aww keep us posted on the results.
Big hugs. :huddle:

[RubyRose]

No, we weren't planning this pregnancy. It came as a huge surprise, and bit of a shock. I did however have a feeling that I was pregnant, sometime around the middle of January.

Okay well more updates.

I received the results of my blood test today. Everything is fine, except for my low iron levels. So I'm now on Iron Tablets with Vitamin C. Along with the normal pregnancy vitamins.

I am due on the 5th October 08 according to my doctor, or the 10th according to my LMP with a cycle of 33 days. I'm know more when I go for an ultrasound, which I'm booking tomorrow.

Good luck with this pregnancy!

[RubyRose]

Thanks, but my doctor assured me that everything should be fine, and I should have no problems going to term.

[RubyRose]

Just a small update.

According to my recent ultrasound, I am due with #3 on the 17th October 2008.

[RubyRose]

Gah! Sorry for the lack of updates. A little too much going on, and I'm bad with keeping up with journals.

So, I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant, due on 17th October. And so far everything is going fine.

I get morning sickness every now and again, but nothing like what I had with Lilia.

[RubyRose]

Well I was beginning to worry a little, as bubs would make his/her presence known every so often from about 14 weeks but as of last night activity seems to be regular. Yay!

[TheWomanMonster]

*pat pats Ruby's belly*
If he's just started making himself known I'll take a guess that you're going to have a very mellow and sweet, cuddly baby this time around.

(not that the others weren't but I see this little bundle as being especially calm).

[RubyRose]

Ah all my babies have been relatively mellow. Even Lily's stay in the NICU was breezy in a sense. We got nothing but good reports from the nursing staff throughout her stay.
