We had two of our closest friends over for dinner tonight and even though it’s early, we wanted to tell them both that we were pregnant, especially as I wouldn’t be having a drink and suspicions would be raised given it’s New Year. We also told them about our egg donation, and it felt so…
I can't believe it, but we tested this morning and it was positive! I thought the window showed 2 blue lines pretty much as soon as I’d finishing peeing on the stick but I didn’t dare hope or say anything until the 3 minutes were up. I also can't believe how incredibly lucky we are…
We had the second transfer of two frozen embryos this morning so it’s waiting time again. It was so strange going back to the clinic and seeing our doctor with our daughter this time. To think that he (and our consultant back home, plus the incredible woman who donated her eggs) made that happen totally…
Yesterday our beautiful perfect little girl arrived. I won’t go into the details of the birth as I’m sure no one needs to hear about that! But just to say it took 3.5 days of induction (which didn’t work but gave me all the contractions!), an epidural in the end and forceps as her heart…
We met up with friends today who have just had their baby. It was so lovely to have a cuddle with him but surreal at the same time, as I just can’t imagine that in a few weeks, we will have our own little person (even though I am huge now so it’s definitely happening!).…
We’ve been away for the weekend for a friend’s 50th birthday party, and lying in bed this morning in the hotel I felt the first proper movement from the baby! And Mr M felt it too. I’ve thought I’ve felt something before, maybe fluttering, but this was definitely a movement. And a few as well.…
We had another scan today with our consultant to check everything is ok as I had quite a heavy bleed a couple of weeks ago. It stopped the day after and wasn’t fresh blood so I tried not to worry but it was great today to get the reassurance that everything is still ok. He/she…
The good thing about this not being a normal pregnancy is that you get early scans and today we got to see our little blob! God, the times I’ve thought about this moment. It (feels wrong calling it an it but he/she feels like a mouthful) was moving a lot and had a very strong…
I’ve tried to carry on as normal as possible since we got back from Spain after the transfer but it’s so hard not to be consumed about thinking whether it’s worked or not. It’s been good that we’ve flown back into the start of Christmas (which I love) as it’s helped to take my mind…
I know it’s the same for everyone but I can hardly bear it. I’m trying not to stress and feel positive mostly but the moments of doubt are always not far away. I play the moment of looking at a pregnancy test and seeing a positive result over and over in my mind like a…
