Freak out room for those newly updiffed after mc - Part VI

Just found out you are pregnant after a previous miscarriage and too nervous to move over the to pregnancy boards? Freaking out about spotting, cramping, symptoms (or lack there of) and nervously awaiting your first scan? Here is a lovely place for lot's of support, hand holding and problem sharing.

Courtesy of owlbooty here are the Ten Commandments of the Freak Out Room.

  1. Thou shalt check thy knickers to the point of insanity until the baby actually arrives.
  2. Thou shalt also check the loo roll post-wipeage (sorry, gross, I know)
  3. Thou shalt bore thy physician and midwife to tears with the mentalling.
  4. And thy husband/boyfriend/family/neighbour's cat.
  5. Thou shalt obsess over the absence of symptoms.
  6. And the presence of symptoms.
  7. And the fluctuation of symptoms.
  8. Thou shalt pee on a vast number of sticks and keep ClearBlue and First Response in business.
  9. The day before any scan extreme mentalling is permitted without recourse to the Haddock.
10. Self-diagnosis with Dr Google is Forbidden.

The Haddock will be applied liberally to all transgressors.

See here for the old thread.

Thanks for the info hairy sorry didn't mean to sound flippant. I haven't been offered any scans. When I was pg with my dd I went to the EPU acouple of times because of bleeding (this was me forcing them rather than being offered a scan). They did hooha cam and were very dismissive of me. I have been told that unless there is any bleeding then I can't have an early scan.

We also aren't given 12 week scans in my area. First nhs scan is at 20 weeks. Which seems very unreasonable and against government guidelines.

Sorry to hear you have had bad experiences - I can sympathise- my first mc they put me on the labour ward. Traumatic isn't even the word. Since then I have tried to avoid the dr/hospital where possible.

Hello,

Just got my BFP on Friday, after previous ectopic and MC, so mentalling away already. Just a short post to say hello, I already know some of you from the ttc after mc thread. >

Can I ask a very stupid question? On the list you have, I'm guessing that 8+3, for example, means 8 weeks and 3 days, but counting from when? First day of last AF or mid cycle (ov)?

Thanks

Hopefully this looks ok.

Thanks for the shiny new thread collie

Ohh I knew I'd bugger it up!!!! I've added 2 days to everyone, expect those on the 'grads' list. Opps, sorry. I'm on my phone again now though, so could someone else correct my cock up?? Smile

Used Doppler again last night so dh could hear the hb. He loved it. It was def pups heartbeat as I could hear my slower one wushing over it. happy happy.

I think we are all missing 2 days - I know I am

hairylights · 15/05/2011 12:04

That should read "previous"not precious.

hairylights · 15/05/2011 12:04

mamarara welcome. it isn't about "blagging"early scans. If you've had a precious ectopic or early mc, the Nhs should provide early scans. I've had them at 6, 7 and 8 weeks at the Epu. I've decided not to have them at Epu this time as I feel genuinely traumatised by the place, so am going privately at either 7 or 8 weeks.

I'm very bad at doing lists but could the next person to update please correct me? I'm 4 + 6.
