July 2013

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

Anyone else just poas? Think I'm right in saying I'll be due in July :)

orange I'm not sure the EPU are there tomorrow, but I can call to find out. When I called Thurs the lady just moved my app from tues to mon.

Everytime someone says something nice to me I end up in tears. I've heard christmas tunes and sad stories on tv today and just burst into tears, what's wrong with me!!
orange I'm afraid you've had me sobbing xxx lol

Mysterious I hope your just a week or so behind what you thought you was (hugs)

Jools could you not just go to a&e n they would probably send you for a scan x

Has anybody else been getting lower abdomen pains? Much sharper & more painful than period pains. I'm feeling a bit worried about it. No bleeding or anything, but just feels 'wrong'

Awww jools wipe those tears. Let us know how you go tomorrow.

boy cramps are usually fine. There's a lot down there that needs to stretch and it causes all different types of cramps, from short and sharp to long and dull. Are the cramps constant or sporadic?

boymeetsworld - are the pains central or to the side? If they are to the side and really painfull then you really should go to hospital to rule out an ectopic pregnancy.
My last pregnancy was an early ectopic and I had sharp pains to one side that had me doubled over in pain. This time cramps have been more central and not as severe.
Of couse people get all sorts of different pains and not everyone is the same. Just keep an eye on it and if its getting worse dont leave it xxxx

They've been constant, getting steadily worse. They did get a bit better after a bath but still there now. I've also got major bad gas which doesn't help as hard to work out which pain is which. They are to the very outer left hand side, very low down and also all across the bottom , just above the pubic bone. Do you think I should see a dr / hospital?

Boy I would think unless there is bleeding they won't see you. You could give your local Epau a call and see what they say. Take it nice and easy x

jools what news?

boymeetsworld most epau a aren't open on a weekend but you can go to the ward. Don't worry about the lack of bleeding. If the pain feels wrong to you then you should get it checked out . It could be something simple like an ovarian cyst but It is better to be safe. They may or may not scan you but they will check your hormone levels and examine you clinically x and they will certainly arrange for a scan ASAP x

Thanks...I think I will do this. It's better to be safe than sorry, isn't it & I guess the worst they can do is tell me to go away. The lack of bleeding is reassuring but something just doesn't feel right, & this isn't my first so I am used to pregnancy symptoms...this pain just feels different somehow. I hope I'm worrying for nothing.

boy I agree trust your instinct and go get checked out, just to be safe!

joolz really hoping you are ok, thinking of you.

Oh no, a bad day for our thread. Sorry to hear things have been rough for a few of you Mysterious and Orange (for your bad news is) and jools (although hope it's good news soon) I am thinking of you all.

I had better news yesterday, baby there with a strong heartbeat and measuring 9+1. They gave us a couple of pics and got a repeat for the progesterone and asprin. Still some blood around sac, but they said try not to worry and they will review at dating scan. Really nice that DH seems really boosted by this news, and actually accepting that we might become parents :) I'm still nervous, but cautiously getting a little excited. I also asked them the date of our first MC, and we are just past that, so it gave me a little boost.

My cramps have settled down now. Feeling pretty ok now I am drinking more water. Although some major bloating and gas issues! Need to try and remember to eat smaller meals (celebratory Italian last night had me doubled over!).

Probably cathing up with friends for rugby later - going to try sneaking appletizer into a large wine glass!

Photographerlady I'm just doing an intro DLSR course, all pretty basic, but picking up a few things.

I always write so much... Enjoy the weekend (and hope all your houses stay dry!)

How slowly is time passing?! I feel like the little boy in last year's John Lewis xmas ad. Roll on next July.

Hello ladies, sorry if this is all a little TMI for some!
Last night I was in bed felt like I had to go to the toilet, i passed something, wiped,there was a round ball & blood, no pain. I looked at this thing thinking is this my baby I am still unsure, it looked like a tiny sac. There was no pain and no further bleeding. This morning after getting up I started bleeding again.
Have I miscarried? I think I know we won't see a baby on Mon

Boy if you are seen, let us know how you get on and fingers crossed all is well and your bean is just being a little trouble maker

Oh Jools I really can't answer that, I wish I could. (((gentle hugs))) We'll all be thinking of you on Monday and will be there virtually holding your hand x

cotton fabulous news on seeing the heartbeat, very reassuring isn't it. 2 weeks until my scan (seems like an eternity away).

yikes I don't think time could possibly pass any slower!

That happened with my first mc, jools. I kept the little blob in a small tupperware box in the fridge - the ambulance did a detour to my flat to pick it up when I had to be taken in as an emergency for a d&c a few hours later, and the hospital confirmed that was the foetal sac.

Not saying you ought to keep it till Monday (if you did keep it) - but it does sound rather likely that that's what it is. Really sorry it's ending this way.

Arkadyrose thank you for coming back to me. I think so too.
If you don't mind me asking why did they need to do a D&C if you passed the sac? I didn't keep it I blessed it then wrapped it in tissue and let it go.

Thanks all I'll still let you know the outcome Mon but I think that is as far as I go with this little one.

Orange thank you hun xx

It's because I suddenly started haemorrhaging (whilst out in Spar of all places - I was picking up a pint of milk on Christmas Eve) very heavily. The foetus never developed beyond 7 weeks but I miscarried at 10. I had to have a blood transfusion as well, but I was able to go home at about 7pm that evening.

I think it was just one of those things - a bit of bad luck & something tearing that shouldn't have. I'd had very little bleeding beforehand though - not like you've already been having. It all happened very suddenly with very little warning really.

jools so sorry to read your recent posts thinking of you x

Sorry to ask you to go through that again xx. Hope you didn't mind me asking x
We were going to tell the family when they came arpund at Christmas. The thing is at least we know that we can het pregnant naturally after 9 years of trying. This little one was not meant to be but I pray we will be blessed again soon x

Oh jools I'm so very sorry to hear your news. I hope the scan on Monday gives you a better idea of what's been going on, in any case - but you must feel a sense of loss. It's so good that you are able to see a little positive in the fact that you and DH are able to conceive naturally. Thinking of you xx

missmaybe afters years of disappointment, i think we are more used to the bad than good. The fact that we can concieve is a miracle in itself so I have to hold onto that. DP and I both feel the same way.
I was in shock last night when I saw the sac, I could see little black dots in there which I think may have been its eyes. They say it is sometimes good to see the baby as it makes it all a little more real. I now know we had a little bundle of joy in there but something was not quite right, the next time it will be x

Arkadyrose can I ask how long it was before your tried to concieve again? Xxx

Sorry to hear what is happening Jools.

I am also trying to take comfort in knowing that I at least got pregnant. I am very fortunate in having a son but we had to have help to have him after several years ttc. Never thought I would conceive on my own. It's still very sad though.

I'm a bit worried it might not happen to me naturally as I don't want to spend too long in limbo but I don't go back to the hospital for a week.

In semi-good news, I don't feel at all pregnant now so actually have lots of energy and feel pretty stable in terms of hormones. Suspect I will crash at some point.

Right, I'm going to leave this thread now but thanks for everyone's support. Hopefully I'll be back on one of these threads some day soon.
