Happy Scanning today!!! So good to have all this good news Xmas Smile Welcome to the new ladies!

I'm off for my first acupuncture appointment tomorrow...for migraines as well as fertility so here's hoping the needles work to help boost our chances!!

Jollyb · 03/12/2012 17:38

cheese I hope everything went well today.

bell great news on the scans. A sac in the right place is a very good starting point.

mrsd I had my scan today at 6+0. I was also worried that she wouldn't be able to see anything but there was a very clear foetal pole and heart beat. Fingers crossed for you.

hj that's exactly how I'm feeling. I know how to 'deal with' miscarriages but the anxiety and worry I have now is quite terrifying. I'm sure I will relax soon. I think I'm going to book a private scan in around 2 weeks and maybe another one at 10 weeks!

pebs glad you're NCT drama has been solved.

Happy to hear of good scans, jolly and bel.

Understand flat feeling, jolly - with our histories things going well is good news but also a gateway to lots much more anxiety. I think this is probably natural and I'm hoping it lessens for me in the 2nd trimester, if I get there. If I make it through today without spotting, it will be the longest I've been pg without problems. As a first-timer, I have to admit to be nearly as scared of things gong forward as I am of another m/c. At least with early m/c, I know what to expect, you know?

Welcome mrsd. Sorry you're here and hope you find the group as helpful as I do. I'm just one day ahead of you and also feeling ropey. I too think it's probably a good sign. Lousy for productivity at work, though!

Mrsd77 · 03/12/2012 16:43

Thanks for the welcome everyone. So pleased for those of you who are having good news on scans. Mine is a week on Thursday. I will be 6+0 so not sure how much they will be able to see. I feel proper ropey today; really nauseous and swimmy headed. Hoping that's a good sign! Back ache too which concerns me a bit though I did have that early days with DS. Stretchy pully womby feelings too Keeping everything crossed for all of us!! Smile

BelissimaLol · 03/12/2012 16:17

Hi girls been to EPU and seen the sac and fetal pole GrinGrin
They can't see embryo but that's expected. They will rescan me on the 14th. I'm so relieved!!! I know things can still go wrong but that's a massive step forward.
Thank you so much for your support!!

pebspop · 03/12/2012 14:02

panic over i emailed the nct lady and there are 4,maybe 5, couples attending. that is more like it!

When are you going to epu belissima?

BelissimaLol · 03/12/2012 12:03

Had my booking app this morning and been referred to EPU. I'm having some ovary pain and they want to reassure me. Doc said I look stressed. I wonder why!
Pls pray for me girls x

pebspop · 03/12/2012 11:55

Jolly good news about the scan. The next few weeks and months are going to be scary but we are all here to help you!

i have felt a bit of movement since last posting. i think the routine of being in work is helping today. sitting at home all weekend doesn't really help!

just got an email from my nct person about the course i am starting this week. she has only sent the email to me and one other person. i hope there are more than two of us doing it - i am a bit disapointed if i only get to meet one new person

lotsofcheese · 03/12/2012 11:03

morning ladies! for some reason my phone won't let me follow this thread (!) so I'm on the laptop catching up with all the news!

Firstly, good luck to Jolly with your scan - I'm having an amnio this afternoon so am feeling a bit blah about the whole thing. I'm terrifed there won't be a heartbeat. I've got this on my mind constantly, and have just accepted I'm going to feel this way all the way through - was hoping I'd relax a bit more after 12 weeks but no chance!

pebs my movement has been variable too - got a lot of feeling at about 14 weeks but it's not consistent now & very little the last few days - on a logical front I know that it's probably because the baby has moved - but emotionally I'm thinking the worst.

mrsd welcome! I had a molar pregnancy too, almost 18 months ago & it was a horrible time - luckily my levels were non-detectable within 5 weeks of the ERCP & stayed that way. I then got pregnant after follow-up but had a MMC at 11.5 weeks, having had a good scan at 8+5. Hence my neuroticism! I'm also on my 4th pregnancy (and hopefully last one - have DS age 3 - about to be 4 this week)

Great news beans and cogito

Sorry haven't name-checked everyone - hope everyone is doing well - sending lots of positive vibes to those in need!

Jollyb · 03/12/2012 10:55

Scan was ok. 1 baby with heartbeat.

I've never got this far with any of my miscarriages.

Feeling so relieved but strangely flat. I think I've realised how scary the next few weeks/months are going to be. I went to bed at 8pm last night to stop myself from thinking and googling!

pebs anterior placentas are a pain. As I've said before I wasn't convinced I'd felt movements with DD til 24 weeks. I think you just have to establish what's normal for you and take it from there.

Is it worth giving your midwife a ring?

OP posts:
pebspop · 03/12/2012 09:46

welcome mrsd

good luck for today jolly

i am driving myself mad worrying about feeling movement. i am 22 weeks and have anterior placenta which doesn't help with feeling the movements. i was feeling a little tapping now and again everyday last week but didn't think i felt much over the weekend. i felt a bit of movement in the middle of the night last night and this morning but now i am talking myself out of that being movement. arrrrggghhhh! got a scan on thursday so think i am starting the panic early.

Welcome mrsd Xmas Smile

Jolly I hope all is well tomorrow.

Yay to 3+, Beans

BelissimaLol · 02/12/2012 22:41

Congrats on 3+ beans. I'm planning to do the same this week. So scared!
I've got doctors app tomorrow. Not sure what to expect but not expecting much tbh. Any idea how long until you see the mw after this first app?

cogitosum · 02/12/2012 20:59

jolly just realised I missed that you have a scan tomorrow. Good luck will be thinking of you

lurcherlover · 02/12/2012 20:45

Welcome mrsd - this is a great thread for sharing all your pg worries. Not too long until your scan then?

jolly will be thinking of you tomorrow - fingers and toes crossed for a good scan xx

cogitosum · 02/12/2012 20:21

Hi mrsd sorry it sounds like you've had a tough time of it. Congrats on the bfp.

And mrd good advice! I've found this board very helpful

Mrsd77 · 02/12/2012 19:52

Hi there. Can I join you all please? I've been lurking for many weeks and have found this thread to be a real help. I have one DS aged three and had a missed MC in May that turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy. We started TTC once my monitoring levels were consistently low and last week I got my BFP! I'm thrilled and totally terrified. This will be my fourth pregnancy and I feel I'm a bit rubbish at it all! My BFP coincided with a consultant appointment and I've got a scan at 6+0. I feel quite pregnant; boobs, nausea and tiredness but still quite scared. DH has encouraged me to post as he thinks it might make me feel more positive and hopeful. I'd like that! Here goes...! Smile

cogitosum · 02/12/2012 13:17

beans that's great. I love these positive days and it's good hcg is rising the way it should. I feel more pregnant this time too. Let's hope it's good for all of us.

Jolly glad you had a good night

Thanks everyone. It was great but saw a HB last time and then found the mmc a week later so not as exciting as it could be.

Having said that it was bigger than last time and the size it's meant to be and I feel completely different from last time - so much more positive!

Jollyb · 02/12/2012 12:44

beans - yay for the 3+ on the digi. I'm feeling a little nauseous too and hoping it's a good sign. Positive thinking rules!

HJBeans · 02/12/2012 12:26

Whoops - missed you above, jolly. Glad you had a good time and the additional RL support. Will be thinking of you and keeping fx here, too.

HJBeans · 02/12/2012 12:24

Some poas reassurance for me this morning - my CBD came back with a quick 3+ two weeks to the day when I first got a 1-2. And I'm also still feeling much sicker than I did with my previous two m/c pgs. Just sent dh, who's far away for the next three weeks, a msg saying I thought this one might stick around. And then I instantly thought that I shouldn't jinx it. But, hell, there are so few confident feeling days, perhaps I should enjoy them when they come along.

Hope you're all having nice wkends and that you've enjoyed your night out, jolly.

Jollyb · 02/12/2012 11:45

Morning all. Had a lovely night out with my girlfriends. I told them my news almost immediately (well as soon as the wine list arrived!). I'm glad I did - there's going to be an extra 4 sets of fingers and toes crossed for my scan tomorrow.

OP posts:
Dorita75 · 01/12/2012 21:02

Great news cogito hearing the HB must've been so wonderful! Hope you enjoy your night jolly and welcome belisima!

YikesHereWeGo · 01/12/2012 12:56

Great news ergo cogito. I bet it was lovely seeing the HB Smile
belissima - old?! Nah!! Wink
All sounding v promising jolly. Enjoy your night out! Smile

BelissimaLol · 01/12/2012 12:50

Daring to feel more positive today. No twinges and no pain. Only knicker checked peed twice during the night and manage a bit of sleep early morning.
Great news on scans!!! I'm so jealous. This 8ww is a killer. Only gone through one week and am already exhausted.
Have a good weekend lovelies
