RM OCTOBER 2014 thread - Today we are pregnant

[TinyTear]

Hi
This is a thread for people due in October with past miscarriage issues, so we don't scare the 'regular' October people and we don't annoy the RM thread with our pregnancy talk...

TinyTear MC May 2010, MC June 2010, MC November 2010, DD Jan 2012, MC October 2013 ADD 6th October

Agree about booking in. Last time I refused to book in until 16 weeks. It's not as if they can do anything for your baby before 24 weeks so what is the bloody point.
I know it seems wrong but so glad you are feeling sick

Also agree Milly about scans. The sheer dread of them, the 30 seconds of relief, then the going home and overanalysing every comment/chart/googling average sizes for 9+2 weeks etc. I cannot take it.

Have not heard any contraindications for waxing tache - go for it I say.

tiny and tanny so pleased to read that you're both pg (we were on the same rmc thread when we all mc in Oct, can't remember if I've nc since then, but was still an engels ). I only got all clear a few weeks ago as my HCG took 3 months to drop and was monitored by hospital (and told not to ttc) till it got to 0. Wishing you both the best of luck.

Junior I think they want me to book in early for the posifrickintivity of it, and tbh I don't mind a bit of paper work early - just wishing the sonographer had an earlier slot free! Superstitions of pregnancy after MC!

DH is being a dear and getting me salt and vinegar everything and cidona from Tesco. Seems to be all I fancy today. Read elsewhere on MN that this is usually the worst so best for me week for it (week 8-9) and I'm sure a week of extra crisps and oatcakes won't do too much harm.

PS. For those of you less Oirish than I, Cidona is a drink of the gods. Tastes like Bulmers, 0% booze. Tesco stock it.

Ah how glamorous, I have just been waxing my tache coincidently! We just came from having some lunch and I glimpsed my face in the mirror and with the sun beaming down on me it looked positively beard like!

Anyway - my boobs have gone back to hurting again so feeling very 50/50 about the next scan. I plan to beg for one when I go to the doctors on Tuesday. I can't wait another two weeks wondering if I've had an mmc. Ive had both natural mc and mmc and on the latter I had symptoms way after baby had no heartbeat so feel like I'm constantly worrying. I'm trying to meditate to stay calm but my mind runs away with me.

Boobs are still not very sore at all but have been sick a couple of times this weekend so that is keeping me going for now- luckily no tash as of yet lol. My next appointment is a scan at 9.30, seeing the consultant at 11.00 then meeting a midwife at 1.00. It was really nice of them to put everything on the same day. Just hoping I get past the scan. Tumtimes I still look at my scan as a 50/50 chance too- either heartbeat is still there or not. I know this isn't strictly true and the odds should be in my favor but 3 miscarriages in a row makes me in the 1% so odds haven't always worked for me. I hope you get your scan tomorrow and that everything is great.
This is the first time i have had a normal heartbeat. 1st and 3rd miscarriages never got to the heartbeat stage and my second m/s was a slow heartbeat that then stopped. I am keeping everything crossed that this is my time. I work in a school and see so many children neglected and unloved and it seems so unfair. We just want our chance to give everything we can to a child. If this one doesn't work out I am not sure what our next move will be. The thought of it terrifies me. There is only so much we can take and all last year was taken over by the miscarriages. Feel like I am more distant from friends and family as have had so much to deal with. We have also have some real family issue too so we are really in need of some good news.

I am so glad I found this forum as sometimes it seems like no one quite understands the stress involved in being pregnant after miscarriages.

Hey Milly is this scan tomorrow and appointments? If so i hope it goes really well! Are you on any meds for this pregnancy? Have you had tests - sorry if you have already said.
I too have distanced myself from close friends - no one except my sis knows about this pregnancy. It won't help having friends know infact it just adds pressure and expectation for us so I choose to keep to myself.
My scan is on Tuesday hopefully.xx

Engels hello. Thought you were coming to join us here. Hope you get lucky very soon

I wonder if my milk is reducing already. My DD seems to want more and I wonder if it's because there is less of it...

My next scan is a week on thu- ages away! Was 8w2days last Monday and all was ok. Fingers crossed for yours. Trying not to think about it.

Hope I haven't jinxed myself but have just been googling maternity wear.

Only only baby aspirin as didn't get chance for many tests due to getting caught again before my miscarriage appointment. That was Monday and they wouldn't do any tests on me because I am pregnant. Just hoping this one is meant to be x

Engles it's lovely to hear from you! Sorry it's been such a long recovery from your last mc. It's shitbuckets.

I'm pretty convinced this one isn't a goer either but am trying hard to sit tight and wait.

Stay in touch, and we want to know the minute you have news...

I'm convinced this is going to end in mc. Don't know why.
Ds isn't helping at the minute, he used to be such a good sleeper but started really fighting it.
Anyone got a scan this week? I've got 2 weeks to wait

Hi sweet. Sorry you're feeling like this too. I am also convinced I'll mc, and then I relax and start to think it might be ok and then tell myself off.
I'm 4+5 (for the last 15 minutes anyway) and usually mc at 6wks, so I've got a bit longer to wait yet. EPAC have said they'll scan me at 6wks, and until then I just have to try not to think too hard.
It will be what it is, however much we worry.

Hoping to squeeze onto a bus before the end of the year tiny but will just have to wait and see!

Good luck to everyone on the rm bus. Keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies.

Thanks Engels, I do hope you catch your bus!!

Tanny and sweet, I know what you feel. I am 5w, not seeing a GP util wednesday and will try to get scanned at 8w...

Until then, TIAP and keep taking my thyroxine...

I can't say I usually mc at x weeks as they were - 10w, 6w, 8w and the last one I was scanned at 8w to find out it was measuring 5w but had no bleeding or anything...

Scan tomorrow - anyone else? Seem to recall someone mentioning this week?

Very nervous. No problems to speak of, don't tend to have MMC, but still bricking it!!!!

Good luck tomorrow squiz. I hope you feel a little more relaxed afterwards.

I have a first scan tomorrow too. I don't feel worried about the results right now as both mcs have been in second trimester (i will be a fruit loop then!).

But i am anxious about being back in the hospital, as it brings back lots of very distressing experiences.. hopefully it will be ok. DH said he will come - i don't think he really needs to, but maybe i should just let him be there.

Hey - I am hoping to get an urgent scan tomorrow as I am having worries that I have had an MMC. Although my symptoms have all come back, but that didn't make a difference last time! My rational head is telling me to be positive but I am struggling! Roll on tomorrow!

Good luck Tayto and Squiz on your scan tomorrow!

Hello, just found out this morning that am 5 weeks pregnant. Quite shocked as only started trying again. My history is DS May 2009, MC May 2011 at 10 wks, MC Oct 2011 at 6 wks, DS2 Dec 2012. Am pretty scared as I am 40 now and worrying not just about another possible MC but will be or she be ok as I am so old.... Anyone else around my age?

Minty I turned 40 last year... welcome to the vintage club

Vintage so much nicer than old!! Thanks Tiny. Doing a slight head in the sand and not going near my GP for another few weeks. No symptoms other than feeling knackered but had put that down to my vintage status....

Hey Minty, I'm 41. Welcome.

I might be feeling brave enough to say hello. Hello!

V early days, I'm 4.5 weeks today. tanny if it goes well we should have the same due date, am I right? But a bfp is a bfp and today I am pregnant. It is lovely to see others in the same boat.

My story. DD 4, DS 2, mc at 5 weeks, mmc at 11 weeks (baby died at 9) erpc. Bfp 31.1 hurray!

I spoke to the Miscarriage Association today. She said that only 1 in 100 couples end up having repeat mc testing. I am seeing the gp at 4, and am now fully armed with my facts. I would like a couple of early scans for reassurance, I think.

tumtimes I'm so sorry you are worried, do hope you get some good news.

Hello handsfull welcome!

Congratulations handful and welcome!

Best of luck tomorrow too tum.

Another vintage lady here ;-) (40 last year). People are living longer these days.. So hopefully DD, and if all goes well this little rainbow will be cared for by me for another 40 years! They should be ok after that!!
