Freak out room for those newly updiffed after MC to hold hands and support each other...

Welcome and congratulations Katherine re Heartbeats From my slightly random knowledge I think that the heartbeat gets going at about 6 weeks and the placenta at 8 weeks. With my MMC I saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks but it died at just after 8 (discovered at 12+5 :( ) With this bean I had a scan at 5+4 which was to check it wasn't ectopic (previous ectopic pg too) and I'm going back at 9 weeks... only 12 days to go... to check everything is working ok.... Hate the wait but do appreciate that 30 years ago scans didn't exist - or certainly didn't for my mum so we are very lucky really.

Velvet Weird dream synchronising - lets both aim for dreams of clouds and flowers tonight... ok?

And yes my DS is mostly lovely - he has started calling me Poohead recently though which is less charming...sigh...

Will Brian be starting the new thread? Or shall I do it seeing as I'm up?

izz you are so lovely-you're definitely not an imposter, it's lovely hearing from you. I really hope you can come and claim your beanbag v v soon.

Thanks mamap yep it's back, v v weird have swung completely the other way to just going with the flow and seeing what happens-whatever will be will be and all that. Having said that, when I go back for repeat bloods on Tuesday I am thinking about wheedling for another scan on Friday as 12 week scan isn't until Friday week.... Whoop for being my due date twin again that is fab news-get another week over with without even trying!

velvet I have gunge that ranges in colour between clear, cream and slightly yellow. TBH I think I might have thrush but am just going to leave it alone and hope it buggers off my itself. Good luck for this week-it's hard going through the week thats your anniversary of last time but fingers crossed youll be able to sigh a big sigh of relief at the end of it.

Hehe I'd better get on with this window then with all these advance orders I've collected!!!

Thanks mama and all of you. X

Velvet is your goo changing colour ? I had this and I had a little bacterial infection. Have you thought about getting a little swab done? I was getting all colours for that first 3 weeks!!

Eek!! Can't even get my stats right - it's 99.4 not 96.4 % of course, so you're even safer!!

velvet I'm liking the thought of being a VIP! I have no idea on yellow goo, but if brown is generally accepted as ok I'm sure yellow can't be too bad?!

Anyhoo...hadn't you ladies better get the next thread started before you run out?! Can't believe you're moving onto thread 3 and I'm still not there...someone better remember to take my reserved beanbag to the next one...

Izz you aren't an imposter you're a VIP guest until it's time for you to move in :)

Pink I'll take a bump window too please!!

This is scary week for me coz the last one died between 6 and 7 weeks so I think I'm being a little more mental atm.

Also, is yellow goo ok? I think I must be a gooey person!

x=posts izzy you are so kind... please don't feel like an 'impostor' we are all waiting for you to join us and welcome you chatting along with us and offering your advice and support xx

Congrat's and welcome Hils and Katherine

Katherine If you want the reassurance of seeing a heartbeat you wouldn't want to be going any earlier than week 7.

Nix I think the doppler fix will put your mind at rest. Late mc's are very very very rare though and there must have sadly, been something very wrong with that lady's precious baby.

at digis dh's kitchen antics!

teacake have a great few day away... my bikini days are over for a while, although I spent most of today looking for a health club in the area we are moving too; I fully intend to get my bikini figure back asap

knitter as mummy says, it's a recognised symptom but speaking with the GP to have your BP checked etc is a good idea

pink have you regained your zen today toots?? Oh I meant to tell you, I looked at my notes and my GP has written EDD 24/0/10.... perhaps she didn't believe the early dating scan so stuck to lmp dates, roll on week 12 scan!

Have a good week all

Aw thanks Izz! You aren't an imposter... Can't wait for you to be mentalling!! I knew that's what happened to you hon I just didn't want to bring it up indirectly. I'm ok it's just been on my mind since the call, plus it followed the night that I'd dreamt I had late miscarried.. Bizarrely!

Anyway, I shall think no more but will go for a nice soak and bee bo's ! Night all x

nicks your poor friend. pink is right, that was me too, but I am de-lurking to try and reassure not freak you out further...I have to say I looked up all the stats afterwards and it is really really rare, and - even though it's happened to me - I do honestly still believe that. If you think, after you've seen a hb at 10 wks you're 96.4% likely to carry to term; that statistic has got to get even better if you've seen a hb at 11, 12, 13 etc weeks, it has to. Like your friend, I was just incredibly unlucky. I know it's difficult to hang on to that when you're close to it (and god knows I'm sure I'll be full-on mentalling if I ever get another bfp!) and definitely go for a listen in if it will set your mind at rest, but please try to keep in mind that it's so so unlikely to happen to you now xx

katherine I agree that one at 8 weeks seems like a good idea if you can hold on that long!

Hehe tunnocks I think it would be good if we had a bump window that would let us continually spy on the little thing - it would actually make me more productive cos at least I could have a little look and then get on with some work rather than spending all day at my desk daydreaming about what it looks like and what it's doing!!!

Can I ask a daft question - if you have booked a private scan to check for hb, when have you done it. My MMC was at 11 weeks and the bean had stopped growing at about 7 which I'm told means it unlikely ever had a heartbeat. So should I try and book for about 7 weeks? Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Waving at everyone and thank you for your warm greetings. Off to bed now, this pregnancy malarkey is exhausting...!

True I agree! Same here Teacake re checking the breathing in Ds!!
It's hideous for her poor girl, she couldn't have a d & c either as baby was too big :( so the Hosp said.

Pink you are absolutely right, it can happen but the risk is very low, statistically anyway! I have absolutely no reason to think the same will/has happened here but just as I was starting to relax it's thrown me for six!

Oh nix that is not what you needed to hear! Doppler fix sounds good :)

:( your poor friend. I think that's what happened to izzy too. :( Going for the doppler is a good idea. I guess what we've all got to bear in mind is that it's possible for something like that to happen at any stage, but that if you get beyond 12 weeks it's very unlikely and we've all just got to hope for the best. That's what I'm going with anyway - blind hope that it's all going to be ok....

My friend rang me yest to say her close friend (who was due a week after me in aug... I know her but only to say hello to) had mmc at 16 weeks. My friend hadn't wanted to tell me for the obvious reasons but felt she had to given we live quite close to her.

It's just freaked me out, and cos I haven't felt much movement I amnow paranoid! She had started to bleed, then was scanned to no heartbeat.

Put it this way, am off for a Doppler fix tomorrow :)

Anyway, didn't want to freak anyone else put and sorry if I have, but I just needed to seek some solace I think!!

Hope everyone else is ok xx

digi I get that funny hot feeling too! Hahaha at your DH, bless him for trying! :D What's he trying to make? Sounds quite adventurous if it involves pastry!

nix hope you're ok. I agree with Mrs teacake, spill, it's what we're here for.
