November 2011 Mums-to-be

[DirgeInVegas]

Am I the first? I can't see another November thread.

Ok, my stats, I am 32, have 1 dd (2.1) and edd is 03/11/2011.

I had a mc at Christmas but feel ok about this pregnancy, though I only found out 3 days ago so I may get a bit more panicked as time passes.

Anyone else want to join me in a November baby thread?

Sibella good luck at the doctors and Really useful good luck for your scan this week.

I really want an early scan and I'm thinking of getting a private one done. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to go.

Also anyone else having wierd dream. My dreams seem to have become very strange over the last couple of days!

Yes! to weird dreams. I had a dream that my SIL came to see me in work and told me she was pg. I got a land the next day when she did visit me in work but there was no forthcoming announcement!

Also had a dream about another MNer, which wasn't a really weird dream or anything but it would 't usually happen to me.

knockedout sorry to hear your news. :(

Morning everyone, I've just got back from EPAC. I have had a scan but my uterus is completely empty. I am waiting for my blood results that should come back this afternoon - if my levels are hovering or rising then they are going to have to try and locate my pregnancy (they didn't manage it last time!). Aaargh, I hate waiting.

I hope everyone else is ok.

I had a dream that I met someone from this thread IRL and recognised them from what they had said on here!! Also had a dream but remember them from DS!

Just booked an early scan for Tuesday. Sibella where are you based? I am in Surrey and going to St Peters Hospital in Chertsey - they cost £90 for an early scan. I tried to get one for Friday but the sonographer said that it should be at least 6.5 weeks if you want to be assured of seeing anything. Its so far awaaaayyyyyyyyy!!

MissInvincible am thinking of you. Am glad you got the scan but wish the news had been better or that you knew what what going on immediately. So sorry you have this wait.

MissInvincible cross posts (again!) I am so sorry they couldn't see anything and hope that the HCG levels drop away on their own so you don't have to suffer any more waiting.

Let us know how it goes. xxx

Hi all, seemed to lose this thread for a while so have had a quick catch up. So sorry to hear about your news Lucy and knockedout - so up and down this pregnancy ride, I hope you are both doing ok. missI i hope you are ok too, the waiting must be horrible.....

I went to see my GP on Friday (about 5 weeks pg) and have an appointment with the midwife in three weeks' time. The GP wasn't able to offer any advice on whether I should continue taking B6 at 100mg and I have now stopped it but am scared to death it will cause me to MC. She also couldn't offer advice as to whether I should take pregnacare which has high iron in it, when 5 months ago I had high levels of iron in my blood... I don't know where to turn for for advice, and keep reading these weeks are so important for development... any suggestions girls?

Hope everyone else is ok x

the only weird dream i had was last week, when i dreamt i was still ttc and was gutted when af arrived. when i woke up that's when i had the streak of blood.

pip where abouts do you live?

Hcg is 91 today. That's not good :( I have to go back in a week for repeat tests to see if it is still hovering or dropping. The last time it took 7 weeks to drop :( :(

I shall leave you ladies now to wait for the inevitable to happen, I wish you all the very best of luck and health. Thanks for being so supportive and lovely xx

Miss I am so sorry to hear that. I'm thinking of you. Let us know how you get on and trust your instincts. If anything they say doesn't seem right, maybe get a second opinion?

missinvincible am so sorry it wasn't good news. Hopefully if it's going to drop it'll go quickly for you. good luck for the future, Please let us know how you get on.

If you need somewhere to chat there's a thread here there are some lovely supportive ladies on here.

missI sorry to read your post x

Hello everyone, sorry for not posting soon. Lucy, Miss and Knockedout I am so sorry. I hope you're all being looked after IRL. Thinking of you.

A quick update from me. My spotting lasted until Saturday and has now completely stopped. Today I have started feeling pregnant - nausea has kicked, my boobs are mildly sore and I am drinking/peeing more. I also have Montgomery's Tubercles which I never noticed with DD. Oh and last night I had to get up to pee at about 1.30am.

Having said all of that, I just have a feeling that this isn't going well. My GP has booked me in for an early scan tomorrow morning but I will only be 5+5 so what will they see anyway? I didn't want to turn it down though, thought if they see nothing then that's an answer in itself isn't it?

The other thing is I have no one to go with me to the scan and I am so nervous. I feel sick with nerves in fact.

So that's me. Sorry I haven't posted much about all your news, this thread has moved quickly since last week!

dirge yay for the stopped spotting, and starting to feel pregnant. If you don't mind me asking why do you have that feeling? is it anything particular or becuase of the mc?

i can't help but think there's going to be something wrong, i've been getting stomach aches and pains since forever, haven't really had any symptoms apart from being tired (which is natural with ds anyway.) but i think part of the feeling something wrong is to try and protect myself, if i keep believing something wrong then when i have a scan that proves it i won't be to suprised and upset (yeah right ) on the other hand i'm scared that convincing myself something is wrong will make something wrong. oh bloody hell i'm screwed up.

Hi Dirge so glad the spotting has stopped. At 5+5 I think you will only be able to see a sac but it should give you some comfort as to what is there - i.e something! Symptoms sound promising. Why do you feel bad about the PG? Why can't DH go with you to the scan?

Will be keeping my FX for you.

I am going through a rollercoaster of emotions at the moment, feel much more positive this time (compared to last time, 3+ on CB Digi has helped) but still feeling very up and down - it will be fine, it won't be fine, what if it is, what if it isn't, and so on!!

I think it is because of the mmc and because I don't feel as pregnant as I did with DD. In fact, I feel less pregnant than I did with the one I mc.

Yes, I can understand that Cep. I was more comfortable with thinking I was having another mc because its easier not to hope but then I spent all morning reading forum posts about bleeding and having no symptoms and the pregnancy going well so I feel like I have a glimmer of hope and I know that I'll be even more gutted tomorrow when its bad news.

Are you peeing at night Cep?

Dirge, I reckon you are probably trying to protect yourself by not getting overly hopeful. I flit between looking at Maternity dresses for me to wear to SIL's wedding in September, to reckoning that because of my age and the fact that I've never had a MC, that my luck must now be running out.

A lot of people on MN have said their pregnancy symptoms with boys were less than with their daughter's. Maybe it's just a change of flavour?

Haha! Just realised how dodgy my question to you sounded Cep! Sorry!

Ooh I love the idea that I might just get lucky and have no ms and a boy! I guess hoping or not hoping isn't going to change anything is it? I'll still be hurt even if I re-convince myself that I've had another mmc.

Thanks Chip - yes I keep looking at maternity stuff too but I don't have anywhere to go

nope. i have last one before i go to sleep and then not until i wake with ds (whatever time that might be) if i pee during the night it's only cause he's woken me up. i haven't had any extra wind (i had loads of trapped wind with ds, very painful) was only nauseous if not eating, i've only been nauseous this time after coughing too much and after chinese takeaway. last time (mc) i was getting nausea loads, and got full really quickly at mealtimes. i have been drinking loads but as i drink mostly coke that's probably why, i don't remember ever getting sore boobs, and as mine are huge anyway can't tell when they get bigger. i have been finding it easy to pull muscles in my stomach though (which albeit painful i seem to take as a good sign.)
i just keep trying to tell myself that each pg is different. i hope the dr will arrange a scan for me when i see her in 2 weeks. (although i'm still scared to actualy go to a scan).

Yes, I am quite scared to go for a scan too.

That makes me feel better, DH said I should focus on the symptoms I have got and not on the ones I don't. I guess it's normal to compare each pregnancy or mc.

I hate the waiting and not knowing though..

DH thinks i'm being stupid, he really doesn't get why i'd be worried about it. it is completely normal to compare them, also i think because having symptoms is "the norm" when you don't you worry about it i found this is only another chat page but sounded very familiar. what time's you scan tomorrow?

10:30am. I have to drink 2 pints of water an hour before. Feels a little excessive.

grief that is a lot. i didn't have to drink any water last time, (6+6 and 11) they used the fanjocam. i hope they're on time. will be thinking of you and fx. try to relax (hypocrite i know) i'm sure it'll be fine for you.

Hi everyone! Can I join?

I am 4+3 with my first baby:) EDD 12/11/11. Very, very excited but nervous too. Glad there are lots of mums on here who have done this all before:)

Have been getting bad cramps (like AF cramps) for a few days now, but my mum got them too (haven't asked her yet since we haven't told anyone). Other than mildly sore boobs and being tired I really don't feel pregnant - just have to trust the BFP

If all goes well we are telling both sets of parents on weds...this is their first grandchild so it should be exciting!!

Dirge fingers crossed that everything goes well at your scan!

MissI Sorry to hear about your loss.

Dirge waiting anxiously / excitedly for your scan results tomorrow - we are due some good news on the thread!! Enjoy the water drinking!!

Welcome goldmaple do I recognise your name from the buses?
