That's excellent news jolly! How far along are you now? When is next scan?

Fab news Jolly you've got a tough little bean there!

And so pleased the mw is coming round to ease your worries pebs so glad they're looking after you

Great news Jolly - take things easy!

relieved to hear that jolly surprising what these little ones can survive through sometimes!

i rang my midwife and she is going to come around in the morning before i go to the hospital. not feeling too bad at the moment. she did say i would know if anything had gone wrong at this stage but telling that to someone who had mmc at 20 weeks isn't very reassuring.

Yay jolly fab news try to take it easy and look after yourself x

Wonderfully news jolly, so glad to hear it.

How are you doing JollyB and MrsD?

Pebs give her a ring, I'm sure she'll be able to reassure you.

Thanks for that link HJ I had an epic fail in my own googling, so found that an interesting read. About 3% total chance of a mmc discovered at scan, which I find a bit reassuring. If there was a 97% chance of winning the lottery, you wouldn't think twice about buying a ticket, would you?

I had bleeding around 5 weeks mrsd i think it is the right time for implantation.

Hope everything is ok jolly i will be thinking about you today.

I have got a scan tomorrow - will be 23 weeks. i am shitting it as i keep talking myself out of anything i can feel being the babys movements. i could get my midwife to come round tonight to listen in will ring her later for a chat and see what she thinks. i might just need some to talk some sense into me!

Thinking of you jolly and mrsd - hope everything's alright for you today. Xx

Hi all. Pleased for those with great results and sorry if others are struggling.

I had killer back ache last night and a splurge of watery red blood. Then some watery brown tonight. Hoping it's implantation as I remember similar with DS at five weeks ish. However, also had stuff with "the mole" so.....

Might try and see doc tomorrow.

Holding your hand, jolly. Everything crossed for you.

Quickly googled your query on mmc, brave, and found one paper from 1996 which suggests mmc rate is less than 3%. Haven't read all of it, but if you're interested it's at: www.fetalmedicine.com/fmf/1996_33.pdf

Good news on your amnio, cheese.

Looks like I should be due within a few weeks of Kate, too. We got married one week before them and our response is 'sheesh, will those two ever stop stealing our press?!' Was odd having all the world's media talking about weddings just as we got hitched and, yes, would be hard to take the news coverage of the end of her pregnancy if ours go badly. I'm no royalist, but have to feel sorry her first trimester medical problems are international news. Thinking about sensitivities of who to tell what and when, it must be lousy on top of suffering through HG, to have no choice about telling the world.

Oh jolly, I really feel for you. I really hope it turns out to be nothing to worry about, as it might be, but tonight's going to be dreadful for you either way. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this and will be thinking of you. Xx

Jolly I really hope this is just a scare and that all is good with you and bean. Let us know please.
Feeling beyond knackered here. Kit had a 3 hour nap
Then struggle to sleep at night.
How is everyone else feeling?

Oh no jolly really hope it's ok

oh jolly I'm sorry to hear that - wish I could say something wise that would reassure you - will be crossing everything for you tomorrow.

I've got my amnio results back (within 24 hours!!) and the initial results are clear. Great news, but don't want to count my chickens as (knowing my luck) until the second lot come through & exclude weird'n'wonderful chromosomal abnormalities (I hope).

Oh no JollyB fx it's nothing serious... waving hand for holding if needed... good luck in the morning.

Being due at same time as middelton would be a pain if anything were to go wrongcogito (not that it will PMA!!). on my last pg i did the pg test and someone on corrie did it on the same evening. couldn't believe my bad luck. as it turned out both pg's went wrong so it was ok - iykwim!

they seem to have a very high number of mc's on coronation street don't they?! maybe some of them should join this thread lol!

Brave it's a mmc I'm scared of as that's what happened last time. I think the odds are less though with no signs.

Can you ring the midwife direct? If you google your local community midwives it'll probably come up with a number.

jolly I'm really glad the scan was good.

cheese that's great

dorita I hope the acupuncture works for you.

I think I'm due around the same time as Kate Middleton! Really hope it all goes well or that could be quite hard.

Thanks cheese OH has now suggested ringing mw but as I'm not properly in the system (waiting for appt to come through) I can't really. May ring the doctors on my way home.

Annoyingly I just had a 'private number' flash up on my mobile, which may have been them! Couldn't take the call though as at work. Grrr. Waiting to see if the mystery caller leaves a message.

Anyway, enough of me me me.

Great news that Skirmish seems to be a cheeky little monkey! Glad the amnio went well. Hope you don't have to wait too long for the results.

It's all about the waiting waiting waiting this pregnancy lark, eh!

Hello again, just to say my amnio went fine - my anxiety/stress before hand were definitely the worst part of having it done! When I was scanned, my lovely little baby (we've nicknamed it Skirmish) was sleeping on it's tummy - then misbehaved considerably by moving out of position every time the consultant tried to get the sample! Must be a another naughty boy for me!

brave I'm sorry you're stressing - it's such a horrible time. From the googling that I did after my MMC, the chances are about 1%. But it's something I've worried about constantly in this pregnancy (and still do). FWIW, I had 2 reassurance scans, one at 8 weeks & another at 10 - even then I was really struggling psychologically. If you think it will reassure you, just go ahead. It's not that you're negative, you're (understandably) anxious.

Great news from the scan ladies!

Morning all, long time no scribble... the thread ran away from my feed! Boo.

Great news about all the scans, must be such a relief JollyB and Belissima. Welcome to MrsD77 too.

OH had put me off having a reassurance scan, saying I was being too negative, but now wobbling again after two days of on-off cramping, some bordering on moderate. No bleeding, but have occasional frets about a MMC.

Does anyone one know the odds of having a MMC? I've been trying to look it up but can't find it anywhere...

Excellent news jolly. I had a private scan at what I thought was 10 weeks (turned out it was 11) after a NHS one at 6 weeks and it was so reassuring. It made the wait until the official dating scan seem a lot less daunting.

cheese, hope your scan and amnio went well today.

pebs, movements are a real worry at first as you don't feel them consistently. The mws aren't really interested in you monitoring them officially until about 28 weeks as until then the baby just has so much room to jump about that it can be dancing all over the place and you might not feel much. Plus they do get themselves tucked in right at the back sometimes and then you don't feel anything for days...I had an anterior placenta with ds and it was a real PITA at times. Not long until you'll be feeling movement more consistently though. I know it's a real worry though.
