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...

YYAAAAAY Jbird

My nuchal was similar and I was very low risk fx same for you!

Great news jbrd!

Whoop whoop Jbrd! So pleased for you. That's wondeful news.
I've been feeling really sick and tired again today which I'm taking as a good sign, but we shall find out tomorrow when I have my 12 week scan -I'll be 11+4. [Terrified]

Excellent jbrd all this good scan news makes me happy .
Goodluck for tomorrow wigwam

Great news jbrd

Plodding along here... Feeling emotional and tired the whole time but still nervous as hell with every twinge. Week and 2 days til my 12 wk scan (will be 12 +3) and feeling very anxious. Having horrid dreams re mc again :(
It will be 3 weeks exactly between scans but feels like forever. There really is no joy in pregnancy is there after mc... Just fear, fear, fear. Maybe interspersed with slight moments of joy after scans but shortly replaced by fear. I find that part exhausting not just the pregnancy tiredness.

Right, must start work. Have a really hectic project on the go at the mo, which is both good and bad. Good as keeps me busy, bad as hard when feel so tired and rank.

Oh and good luck for today wigwam

Best of luck wigwam!

Fedup I had dreams like that too :( BUT they are just hormone dreams, don't fear them. 2 days after one of them I saw bean wave to me (for those of you who watch South Park it was in the style of Mr Hanky the Xmas Poo!! Hi-de-ho!) on a scan.

I'm feeling fat, scared and constipated. The fat and constipated is lessening the fear though. A week and 2 days before my MW appointment.

*Buggerlugs" that sounds like an awful dream! Hopefully it means you are processing anxieties at night, but you could do without these type of dreams.... All bran, oranges and lots of water to ward off constipation!

I actually feel quiet positive in between occasional concerns.. i only realized this when talking to the counselor this week - it feels like the possibility of having a baby is less a dream and more a real possibility as the weeks pass. Though i have still to pass the time of previous mcs... hope i'm not getting too positive/hopeful!

Bugs I've had pains down there- always poo related. I've found brown bread, prune juice and eating lots of veg helps (to some extent).

Sorry to hear how some of you are struggling with keeping positive - and those dreams, oh my ! You poor things, they sound awful!
I am very lucky that I have not (yet) dreamt about mc, I have very strange dreams, but not that.

Good luck with your scan today, wigwam

For anyone struggling with constipation, I can heartily recommend linseeds. They have been my lifesaver! One tablespoon every day in your cereal or maybe sprinkled over a salad really helps. And lots and lots of fluids.

Went out for dinner with some friends last night and got back really late - very tired today, which does not help with the nausea at all...

Only 19 hours now until my scan, eeeep! I have spent most of the last few weeks being very pessimistic. Now I find my head is expecting the worst, my heart is hoping for the best.

Weirdly, I was sick for the first time yesterday, at 12 weeks. Is that strange or anything to worry about? I have felt quite nauseated all week, especially while brushing my teeth, so I don't think it's a bug.

wigwam hope scan went well?
hopeful the last time I had hyperemesis I only got properly bad at 12 weeks. This time sickness disappeared around 13 weeks. And from reading the symptoms on this thread it shows that every pregnancy is different. Hopefully its not too bad for you.

I had my gynae clinic appointment this afternoon. All rmc blood tests normal and the post mortem showed that the baby was normal but had stopped growing at 12 weeks - no explanation for this. The doctor was lovely and scanned again and said everything looks fine. I did ask for an odds on a successful outcome this time but she wouldn't commit. I feel really down this afternoon. I thought I had come to terms with the potential for no explanation for the losses but it hasn't made it easier. Also finding it very hard to feel positive about this one
The doctor did say if I was in any way worried to phone and someone would check for a hb for me.
Sorry for my lack of positivity. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Hopeful I had the worst nausea today too and am nearly 12 weeks.

nearlyready so sorry it's been a tough time for you. It sounds like you got a really horrid midwife at your last appt. I hope you can find some hope. TODAY you are pregnant. One day at a time. Keep going. That's the only way I've coped in this first trimester.

I had my first scan today, which was the 12wk scan and it was great. Lovely sonographer who said that my measurements show more like 13wks (although I know for sure that is impossible from a conception point of view). I cried loads when she showed me little baby on the screen, and had to calm down so she could carry on with the scan.

The first real hurdle for me, so thanks for all your support.

Tayto glad you had a good scan too. Here's to an uneventful and straightforward rest of pregnancy.

And what's all this poking uterus's business? I'm leaving mine well alone, I'll probably just end up scaring myself!

Great news on the good scan wigwam!

hopeful best of luck tomorrow. I don't think that feeling sick at 12 weeks is anything to worry about. It seems to vary a lot, the only thing being that most people feel sick at some point. Hopefully you will have a good experience tomorrow and can relax for the wkd!

nearly it is really hard sitting through a post mortem and must be especially strange when you are pregnant. There are all the feelings of loss and sadness that come to the fore, so it is no wonder you feel down today. And its hard to accept when there is no obvious reason for the losses. Thinking of you and hope you can be especially kind to yourself today and tomorrow.

Nearly ... Such a tough day for you. :( Today you are pregnant though, keep hold of that!

Wigwam ... Yay good scan!!

Hopeful ... Sickness comes and goes. Think random is normal! Hope tomorrow goes well!

Scan was great and I was so worried beforehand - now due Oct 5th, exciting :)

Hopeful :) Great news.

Greta news hopeful Now you can float around on the post-scan cloud for the rest of the day
My EDD has been put back to Oct 10, but I suspect I might get pushed into September, if the consultant recommends ELCS...

I think I'll be ELCS due to my EMCS last time plus potential scarring issues I have this time. I'm hoping they come up with a baby teleportation device by Oct to be honest so I don't have to worry about labour or CS!

AIBU moment: well meaning person gives me a 'trust your body' herbal medicine pep talk. I tell them why my body can't be trusted without Clexane not herbs. They are lovely but clearly want to call the woo police as I'm not woo enough. I am a bit pissed off.

baby teleportation device by Oct to be honest so I don't have to worry about labour or CS By September would be even better! ;)

squiz Smile, nod, say 'That's interesting, thank you for the information' - and ignore

In fact, if you start practising this approach now, you'll save yourself a lot of aggravation for the rest of the pregnancy!
