Any May babies?!

[elizabethtailored]

I only did it a test this morning and have not even told my husband yet!

Sorry Lindor. Is it definitely ectopic? I will keep everything crossed for you. Take care of yourself.

So sorry Lindor. Take care.

So sorry to hear that Lindor. Take care of yourself.

Hello ladies,

I've scanned through some of the messages and like a few I lost my first pregnancy back in Jan 2009, I was about nine weeks. I am 12 weeks tomorrow with this one and have my first NT scan in the morning, nervous I must admit. I get the odd twinge / ache and the passing feeling of queasyness but not really tired which I admit worries me a bit. I will be glad to know one way or the other tomorrow how things are going this time. Fingers crossed

Welcome Mia1966 and you can count on us all rooting for you. Hope things go well.

Lindor so sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking about you.

Hi Mia. I have my NT scan tomorrow too. I'm very nervous. I've decided to go private so I get the result quickly. I should have it by Wednesday. Good luck.

Just wanted to say Lindor that hope all goes well with your scan. Thinking of you lots xxx

Terribly sorry Lindor. How awful
Keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow "scannees" xx

Hello all

Lindor - So sorry to hear your news, I hope your investigations go alright.

Quenelle - There are places where you don't get parent craft even as a first time parent?? That's rubbish!

Goodname and Harecare and Dial and LadyMaybe - Congrats on the great scans, it is fab when you see those little babies, finally you can be sure they are really there! Sorry to hear about your friend *Dial, hopefully things will improve between you soon.

Cairn - No idea when my scan is yet. (Of course I know I had the early one at 7 weeks but isn't really the same, baby so tiny you can't see anything). I'm waiting for a letter from hospital and I really hope it comes soon!

Welcome to the group Mia! Good luck for your scan tomorrow. I wouldn't worry about your lack of symptoms, with my first I felt almost completely fine, these last two I've felt rubbish!

I am still bloody exhausted. Ten weeks tomorrow (if my early scan got it right), phew, the sooner I get out of this trimester the better. Not got much to report here, I've been attempting some online shopping for Christmas, more research than actual purchasing just now, need to get ahead!

Hope everyone's scans go well this week.

Well I am back and very relieved to see a little heartbeat going 10 to the dozen and it wriggling around and sucking it's thumb. Nuchal measurement looked good on the scan so just need to wait for the blood results. And breath.

Hi just thought I would update you all.
Thankyou for all your kind messages and thoughts.
At my local hospital today after more scans etc they think I miscarried at some point and don't want to investigate the ectopic thing any further.
Feel relieved if this diagnosis is correct, have to take a pg test in 2 weeks which should indicate no pregnancy as I am still testing positive at the mo so still very confused, will look on the miscarriage sites now so this will be my last post.
GOOD LUCK everyone and look after yourselves xxx

Sorry to hear the news Lindorchocs, you take care of yourself. x

Lindor - so sorry you must be having a really confusing and horrible time, I suppose a mc is simpler than an ectopic but neither could be described as fun. Hope you get a straight answer soon, and lots of support from the mc boards as others have recommended.

And heartless as it seems to follow that with this - I had my scan this am and am very relieved to say I'm not having twins! 1 happy healthy wriggly little creature on board who kept looking straight at the camera thing instead of lying nicely to be measured! Such a relief as I've been feeling really rough this weekend and thought I might have had a virus of something which would hurt baby - but just me being paranoid They've moved my due date forward to April 30th now

Good luck to everyone else with scans this week - I now there are more coming up soon

Congrats Yorky and others with good scans... must confess I will be relieved if we see just one little baby, have been fretting a bit about twins as our house definitely could not take it!!

lindor so sorry to hear your news but glad you will head to mc boards they are fabulous.

My scan is Wednesday morning...honestly cannot wait now just need to know everything is ok and can finally start telling people as there's not much longer I can hide this belly now!!

Bad news for me I'm afraid. Today's scan showed little one didn't make it past 8 weeks. I'm fine, but anxious about what happens next. I have an appointment at the EPU on Wednesday. Just want to get this bit out of the way.

Wishing everyone here all the best for happy and healthy pregnancies.

Lindor and Quennelle so sorry to hear your sad news, best of luck for the future.

Yorky and Mia congratulations on your scans and good luck to all those still waiting on scans.

I've removed Lindor and Quenelle from the list (feel really awful having to do that ) and updated my details post scan. looking at the list there are a few that we haven't heard from in a while, it's difficult to know if they don't get on Mumsnet much or if they have unfortunately lost the babies. I guess we should start a second trimester thread soon then we can start the list from new.

Really sorry to hear your news Quenelle. Hope your appointment on Wednesday all goes smoothly. Take care of yourself.

Quenelle - so sorry to hear your news, good luck with everything in the future!

Lindor - No wonder you are confused, I hope things get better soon.

Mia and Yorky - Glad your scans were more positive, and cupcake good luck on Wed!

I have felt so awful today I think I've gone back a step or two.... my mum texted and when I apologised for not getting back to her before (I said I was feeling tired and washed out) she said I should go to the GP as I may be anemic. Felt a bit guilty!

Lindor and Quenelle, so sorry to hear your news. I hope you have lovely people around you looking after you.

Cupcake, good luck for tomorrow. It'll get here soon! :)

I'm doing alright - trouble sleeping though. I started leaning on a pillow when sleeping, and had three nights of wonderful sleep - but since then I've really struggled. Already have quite a surprisingly sized bump considering I'm only at 11 weeks - but the again, I am small (weighed 105lbs before I got pregnant), so it should show sooner - but I suspect a lot of it is still bloating. Midwife appointment on Saturday though, so hopefully she'll be able to shed more light on it, and then scan at 13 weeks...

Also constantly hungry. Woke up in the middle of the night last night and couldn't get to sleep again until I'd quelled the hunger slightly, which is very unlike me...

Hello ladies

Sorry to hear about the bad news? I am not feeling too confident myself? symptom-checking like crazy? unfortunately my nausea and tiredness have gone away since I turned 9 weeks? (im 10 wk tomorrow). I may have slightly larger breasts though but that?s not enough to reassure me?
Scan is not before 10th nov which is more than 2 weeks ahead?
Please keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Glad to hear about the good news though and I wish everybody a un-eventful second trimester!!

tostaky I know what you mean about not feeling confident...

I was super confident but I just did some reading and discovered that it's possible to have a mmc and still have pregnancy symptoms due to your body still producing pregnancy hormones ...

Now I'm panicking that the scan won't go well. This is our first time being pregnant and I've been taking comfort in how crap I've been feeling, but so many people have to try so hard before having a baby it just seems so unlikely that we could have been so lucky.

Plus we told my parents this weekend and they are so excited and keep talk g about names and plans... I almost wish we had kept it to ourselves until we can be sure.

I'm sorry to brIng such a downer to the thread, and I'm thrilled for the ladies who've had good scans.

Is anyone else feeling this? Our scan isn't until next Tuesday, how can I wait that long?!

Snap Dorris and tostaky. I feel exactly the same, so worried that its going to be bad news. I've still got lots of symptoms but the mmc thing freaks me out too. This is the first time I've ever been pregnant and it feels almost too good to be true. Have my scan on Monday so will find out then. Nice to know its not just me that's been worrying about this.

Snap again Dorris, tostaky and dreaming - even though I had an early scan and have seen a heartbeat, it's still worrying. My scan's on the 7th, so quite a bit of waiting still to do. Hopefully the midwife will reassure me though...

We too have told people Dorris - mainly because the last scan went well, it was becoming hard to keep it secret, and I already have a (bloaty) bump which I can't always hide! But there's always that niggling feeling that we shouldn't have told them yet..

Quenelle, sorry to hear your bad news, you sound very resigned, please take time to grieve and don't bottle the sadness

To all those getting nervous before the big scan day - fingers crossed. Your little passengers are likely to be safe. I was terrified before my 12wk scn with DC1 as I had no symptoms at all - cooking a full english for 70 and not batting an eyelid, didn't believe it was real!
And I was no less nervous before this, my 4th 12 wk scan with no mc to my name - I had started to feel better at around 10wks(cue panic!), then felt absolutely horrid all weekend and decided I must have caught a virus which would be bad for baby - but no, all was well :)

It is the weirdest feeling though - lying there looking at pictures on a screen, and this little blob is wiggling and jiggling merrily, stretching and waving - and I coudn't feel anything!

Wonder if we'll have any multiples this month? (I can say that now I now its not me!!)

Quenelle, I am so sorry - I hope that you have lots of support around you and that everything from here goes as smoothly as it can. Thinking of you and wishing you the best.

My day started dramatically when I woke up thinking I'd wet myself. It was blood. Cue freaking out and phoning the emergency midwife who was lovely and told me to make sure I made the ultrasound people aware, as I was due my scan today anyway. To cut a long story short, all is fine, there is a very dancy baby in there and I had my bloods done. The bleeding wasn't worrisome apparently, and was probably just One Of Those Things.

Husband announced it to friends on IRC today and I think it has really upset one of my friends who suffered an early miscarriage when I was on my two week wait. I don't know what to do - upsetting people is one of my massive anxiety triggers and I'm struggling with my disorder at the moment anyway. I think I will just stay quiet and not harp on about it.
