NEW RM OCTOBER 2014 thread - Today we are pregnant THREAD 2

[squizita]

Continued Sep-Oct thread for ladies who have experienced more than one loss in the past, so as to not scare the regular October folk!

Hope it went ok today jbrd

Knackered here and told a few people at DSs class this morn and everyone commented on how small I was for a second at 16 wks. Doesn't fill with me confidence.

I have had the worst possible news this morning.

When the consultant did the scan to prep for the amnio, he could not find a heartbeat. My baby has died.

I am in total shock. It was all going so well, and everything looked good at the last scan a few weeks ago.
They couldn't see any obvious reasons why, but he said that it might well have been that there really was a chromosomal abnormality that caused it. I will now go back in to take the first round of meds tomorrow, then going to be induced on Thursday.

It is all beyond my comprehension right now, I feel utterly destroyed, standing in front of this massive pile of shattered hopes, dreams and plans that I had started to make.

I will now bow out and say goodbye to all you lovely ladies. You have been such a support in the last few months, I had so hoped that I would be with you for the rest of our pregnancies. I will be thinking of you all, come September and October!

Good luck to every single one of you - may you all have healthy, happy pregnancies and lots of healthy, happy babies! xxx

Oh jbrd I'm so so sorry to hear your news. How heartbreaking for you and your husband. To get so far with the last few weeks of torment must be shattering. Take good care of yourself and I will be thinking of you

Oh Jbird I am utterly shocked and saddened to hear your awful news. I am so completely sorry to read this. What an awful shock. I am sending you my thoughts at this terrible time. xxxx

As said on the other thread - just so, so sorry to hear this JBird. :(

So sorry to hear that JBird. You're in my thoughts x

jbrd I am so terribly sorry. Thinking of you and your dh. This next few days will be very very hard. Hold on tight to each other and know that we are all thinking about you x

Oh jbrd, I can't believe this has happened to you at this point.. It is horrendous for you and your DH. I just don't know what to say. Wishing you courage and strength in the days and week ahead.

Thinking of you xxx.

JBrd - so so sorry to hear your news! I was hoping for a good outcome for you. This is devastating. Sending prayers your way.

Don't give up hope for the future. That's all we can cling to in such times of darkness.

jbrd incase you are still around, just to say I will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Me too jbrd. Have been thinking of you though guess you may not be reading.. Sending you love and strength

I hope everyone else is doing ok ?

Tired here too - can't seem to get the second trimester bloom! And i'm continue to monitor for signs that cause concern... 18 weeks plus 1 day now (and counting!). Wet and dreary here, so can relax indoors at least as i don't work on thurs afternoons.

My tiredness seems to disappear for a few days and then come back with a vengeance. I've started taking spatone to see if it will keep my iron levels up.

random pregnancy question, when does the 3rd tri officially start? The fact that 1st tri is 12 weeks and pregnancy is a total of 40 is confusing me.

Another one who is knackered. Working really hard at the mo. Just found out I've got a small ish bonus that helps tho and a bit of a pay rise so could be worse.

Worried not felt baby move today tho and going to phone up tomorrow as even only two days after hearing heartbeat I think I want to get a scan about 18 wks. My anomaly is at 21 weeks and being only 17 (tomorrow) it feels ages away still.

I had spatone in my last preg and think will dig out again too. Think it kind of helped.

fedup I really enjoyed having a scan around 18 weeks. Do you have baby bond in your area?
Movements this time have been much later, im 22 weeks now and its really only in the past 10 days that I've been getting them. I think am anterior placenta hasn't helped. I need to get my book out and refresh my mind on monitoring movements.

I don't know about baby bond but my hospital do them for £60 which I don't think is a bad price.

Felt a real idiot today. I've never cried at work, ever. Today I decided to tell my chief executive about my pregnancy and I started to cry as I told him how scared I felt and worried it would all go wrong. It was really embarrassing. I'm known to be pretty tough so it's a shock for me and him.

Major wobble today. I'm sure my bump is shrinking not growing. If I lie down and need a wee I have a big hard bump but if I do a wee it goes again. So is it just wee or is it full bladder pushing my uterus up? Then when standing up I have a bump (much smaller on morn after a wee) but am I just fat as put on 10lbs?
Not felt any movement for a few days either. Got the fear :(
17 weeks at the mo.

rainy i also find that movements come and go, and hardly notice any when I'm busy. Hopefully they will become more noticeable and frequent soon. I had a bad stomach bug this weekend (projectile vomiting last night) , and all went quiet so I was a bit worried, but then I think I noticed a few flutters this evening..

I wouldn't be surprised if a full bladder moves the growing uterus up, though I'm not sure of the whole physiology! I'm sure the extra 10lbs is mostly baby (13cm now) and related fluid (perhaps with a few biscuits thrown in if you are anything like me!).

fedup im 22 weeks and movements still coming and going. I notice them mostly when lying on my back first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

Hey all - yeah I'm the same. Movement comes and go's and I am 21 w 3d. Though they are increasing as I get further along. I had a right wobble Saturday, I went to a wedding (was bridesmaid) and it was a looong day. In the evening, I noted I hadn't felt anything for a good few hours and actually left the reception early to get home and listen to my Doppler. As soon as I got home she of course started moving etc but I think I will always be obsessive about this movement situation. I have read we are to start counting the kicks at 26 weeks. I predict lots of Doppler use around this time and trips to my antenatal unit for reassurance. But whatever it takes eh.

In other news I have been told that I am to be induced at 38 weeks as I am a user of clexane for the duration. Does anyone on clexane have to have induction or ny advice on this?

This pregnancy has been put forward by 4 days at my 12 weeks scan which is virtually impossible dates as we would have had to have had an immaculate conception so I still secretly go by my original due day which would be 16th sept. Therefore I wouldn't want to be induced until at least beginning of September.

Was anyone else put forward? I find it strange and simply cannot be. I know exactly when I ovulated and when me and my dh did the deed. But hey ho.

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank hols - we are in Dorset for the week.
