molar pregnancy

[TOD]

HI. Has anyone ever heard of a molar pregnancy? diagnosed last week, had d and c done. have to have weekly bloods to monitor hormone levels and may not be able to try for another baby for another year. am still in a bit of shock cos i really wanted this baby and then to be told there was never even a baby there.....very confused. no information forthcoming from hospital except they will be monitoring me!!! all info on net talking about cancerous cells and possible need for chemo at some stage....all very frightening....anyone had similar experience?

Hi Tod - congrats that fab news! I was also diagnosed with a partial molar pregnancy last year, and had follow up at Charing X (fortunately no chemo).

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant, and really nervous about getting through the first 12 weeks. (i had the partial mole in Feb, then another m/c in June and only then was told that the feb m/c was a mole!).

what's your due date?

I've had 2 scans already, and have another on Weds. I saw the baby's heartbeat and just burst into tears last week...

How old is yr son? My daughter is 2 (31 Oct 2004)

Hey Joolsw jsut saw your post - sorry to hear your news, but you see there's hope! it won't be long until yr wait period is over (although it felt like ages to me at the time!).

Hi Cuillan and Zimbojules, I had my scan yesterday and everything is perfect......saw the little feotus and the heart beat......am over the moon (and so is DH.......poor fella, I could see the relief flooding over him!!!)so i am 8 weeks today....horray!!!
My son is 2 as well since the start of december.......maybe I'm biased but he is absolutely adoreable and so funny.
Am feeling pretty awful most of the time due the morning sickness but i know that will pass and it will all be worth it in the end. Zimbo...habe you bad nausea at the moment???
Cuillan I hope your crew are behaving themselves and that all is well with you!

Take Care, Talk soo xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello TOD (and welcome zimbojules), I was just about to wish you well with your scan when i read your message !! WHAT ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT NEWS THAT ALL IS WELL . Again congratulations - you must feel you've had the weight of the world lifted off of you, & you definitely deserve to have had. Is'nt the relieve amazing !! Did you manage to keep it a secret from your mum & sister until after the scan??
On the home front my youngest is still growing at an exceptionally fast rate - it's scary to watch !! I just wish he would slow down . As for my middle one he's still prone to the odd tantrum , but slowly i think we are winning & lastly hurrah it's half term next week - time for a few lie ins, if the kids allow me !!
I really hope you start to feel better soon, i can remember how ghastly & draining it is.
I can't believe in 7 months time you'll be holding your little miracle !! I'm still so excited .
Please keep me updated with your progress Id love to hear. Take very good care of yourself & your little ones & hope to hear from you very soon. lots of love xxxxxxxxxxx

HI Cuillan,
I know how you feel, my DS is getting so big too and developing a little bit of attitude to go with...which is cute at the moment but I'm sure it won't be so cute as he gets older!!It's a pity they grow up so fast but it's also a joy to see them go through the different stages..........you have a good variety in your house Im sure there's never a dull moment!!!
All well here thanks, my sister guessed i was pregnant a few days before the scan..something to do with the fact that i was quieter than normal and looked a little green around the edges!!!! My mum and sis were nervous until I had the scan but are now delighted for us and it's great to have their support...
Hope you enjoy the half term and get plenty of those long awaited lie ins.....
Take Care...Talk soon.xxxxx

Hiya

yes - have been feeling quite nauseous, but we're going on holiday for 3 weeks to Cape Town tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get lots of sleep... and sun

will be in touch when we get back xx

[JellyNump]

yes, i had some 'molar characteristics' in my 1st pregnancy. 1 'normal' baby and 1 empty sac and really sky high hcg levels.
'Normal baby' died when he was 9 weeks tho, apparently unrelated to molar stuff

[cuillan]

TOD are you there, and how are you feeling??? I'm hoping you are all keeping well !!! Am i right that your 12 week scan must be fairly soon ??

[TOD]

Hi Cuillan, all well here thanks!!!!
Nausea faded last week but back with a vengence this week...I suppose its a good sign.
I am now 12 weeks + 3 days..I have my scan today week, the 13th of march...cant wait for that I might feel more at ease after that!!!
Otherwise I cant complain....everything going well and DS is being a little gem...going through a very good and cute phase...long may it last!!!
How are things with you?? Hope all is well and that they are all behaving themselves!
I and DH are on a weeks holidays this week..so just taking things easy!!!
We didnt arrange to go away or anything cos we didnt know how i'd be feeling..just as well cos the nausea is bad enough and it's nice to be in the comfort of our own home at the mo. however it is lovely just the three of us having some quality time together!!
Love to you, talk soon, Tod xxxxxxxxx

Please let me know how you all get on . Lots of love until next time xxxxxx
