Support thread for women who are pregnant or TTC after a termination for abnormalities - Thread 5

[Conorgog]

Welcome to the newest thread of support for those ladies who are pregnant or trying to conceive after terminating for abnormalities. Since this thread first began (almost ten years ago!) there have been stories of heart break, sadness and fear, but from these stories there have also been stories of happiness, success and most importantly, hope. Here they are, our thread babies, and may the list continue to grow:

Welcome @NoCallerID. I'm so sorry for your loss.
You're definitely more than welcome here and fingers crossed for you


I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and getting nervous from all angles 😩
Still scared stiff that I'll get the virus and not be allowed to my scan.
Worried about whether baby is still ok in there.
Nervous about the nuchal measurement when it finally gets to scan time.
Eesh.

Morning ladies

@BooMamaBear - trying to wait until next Thursday to test. Don’t think it is my month so trying to avoid the multiple early test emotional rollercoaster!!

@NoCallerID - hello and welcome. Sounds like you are having a tough time. So sorry to hear about your TFMR. Like @Mangoandbroccoli has said, the recovery varies. I had a surgical procedure at almost 14 weeks and my period returned about 4.5 weeks later which I was surprised about. My periods have been heavier than before the TFMR but not sure if there is a connection.

We are ttc after 2 months off after the procedure. My husband really struggled with the idea of trying again but then realised he still wanted to. We are on cycle 3/4 and because I am 40 the pressure feels like it is mounting. However, had a check up and all looks fine so just need to relax!! We are here to help xxxx

Have a good weekend ladies xxxx

Good plan @ShootingStar2020 -my scan and test is 2 weeks on Tuesday the stress is really getting to me now I've been trying nor to think about it but I'm absolutely bricking it! Also worried that if I have to have a 3rd TFMR that the virus will affect hospital procedures!! Did anyone see that newspaper article from London where a new born baby got it -they're unsure whether it was infected In utero or during labour xxx

Morning everyone, hope you all have a good week!

Feeling a bit down today...I'm 11 weeks today. It was this day exactly in my last pregnancy that they first noticed something might be wrong with our baby. Even though we didn't say goodbye until 16 weeks, it feels like this is just the start of everything again.

My screening scan is next Tuesday and I'm starting to feel more and more nervous...it's with a senior consultant so I feel reassured but just anxious about what they're going to see.

[Treaclepie19]

I'm feeling very similar @otterbaby. I hope all goes well for you

My scan is still 2 and a half weeks away. I'm 11+1 today and its stressing me out having to wait. I'm tempted to ring them but I know they won't do anything.
I'm feeling increasingly less pregnant and everything is just getting to me.

[Treaclepie19]

Just noticed we need a new thread soon, shall I set one up? I can do it after the school run.

[otterbaby]

@Treaclepie19 they're leaving that really late, aren't they? Could they not move your appointment? They had originally booked mine for when I was 13 wks but I asked for it to be moved. I wonder if they try to leave it as late as possible for ladies like us so they have a more accurate measurement...

Same though, I'm still tired and hungry (but I was tired and hungry pre-pregnancy!). My saving grace at the minute is sore breasts but I must look like a maniac, squeezing them every 10 mins for some reassurance haha. Other than that, I just feel normal. I'm sure that's expected as we leave the first trimester though.

[Treaclepie19]

@otterbaby Yes I think you could be right. I've already phoned them once because I was worried about it being late and potentially missing the window for the nuchal.
I'm going to have to ring them again and just say my anxiety is through the roof waiting.

You're right about it being because we're leaving the first trimester. It's just a worry isn't it until you've seen baby again.
With all that's going on i just want my scan done and know that I've not had to miss it because I'm ill or something.
Gah!
