To ask for a handhold I feel so alone

I'm due to have a 6/7 week scan tomorrow after multiple miscarriages (double figures) and I've got period like cramps and bleeding.

I've been bleeding on and off for 2 weeks, no clots.

I feel so alone and I just want to cancel my scan in the morning. Time and time again I've sat in that waiting area, I've had to listen to the "I'm sorry" words, I've had to sit in the family room with a useless leaflet about miscarriage and a box of tissues.

I'm not religious but I could really do with some positive thoughts being put out there for me tonight, I'm not sure I can endure another loss 😢

Just wishing you all the luck in the world ❤️

I'm a lurker on your post and have been waiting for an update and so relieved that the reason you've not updated is because you rescheduled. I'm a bit over invested lol.

Daisy4569 · 08/12/2022 18:15

Hope all goes well!

Hey @elm26 how did the scan go? Smile

Just saw this thread and wanted to say congratulations and thank you for showing your scan pictures. That hand 🥰. I have been where you are and remember the fear. My 2 are now 13 & 15 I just love seeing scan pictures.

Thank you! 🥰

I really don't mind either way, I'm just excited to finally be a Mum.

We've been buying white, grey and cream so will be nice to add a splash of colour although I'm not going mad with the buying until after my 20 week scan.

So excited to find out!

Hoping all turns out well for you.

Butterlover1 · 06/12/2022 17:25

I'm so excited for you, been following this thread and regularly checking up for updates...... ❤️

I'm saying Girl

Booklover3 · 06/12/2022 17:25

Well I will say girl and good luck x

EscapeFromHubby · 06/12/2022 17:22

I'm going with boy too. So excited for you to find out!

CoffeeLover90 · 06/12/2022 17:22

I'm going to stick with my original thought, I think a little boy.
I know you'll be happy, either way and so will we.
I found it was easier to know the gender when pregnant because I wasn't too keen on some unisex clothes. Of course as DS got older the styles improved massively haha. If I ever had another I know I would just be too impatient though, I need to know.

HoleyMoly · 06/12/2022 17:16

Good luck for tomorrow OP! I’ll say it’s a boy, the head shape looks similar to how ours looked on the 12 week scan and I had a little boy in August Smile

AgeGapBbe · 06/12/2022 16:53

Oh op, this is just so wonderful! I read the OP and my heart sank- I thought I knew what was coming… but it was good news and it kept getting better and better!! I’m so happy for you!

🤞 for a healthy rest of your pregnancy! X

Hi everyone! So we are going for a 16 week scan tomorrow and can find out the sex and I'm so excited.

We weren't going to find out but have waited for a healthy pregnancy for so long that we can't resist knowing if we are going to be girl parents or boy parents!

Wondering if anyone would like to take a guess based on the nub and skull. I know HR is an old wives tale but heart rate is between 150-160 each time.

I will update tomorrow night!

The picture is in my second to last post ☺️
