Pregnant after MC due December 14

[Penguin13]

If you're pregnant after a previous MC and due in December 14 this is the thread for you.

If you're an obsessive knicker-checker or just want someone to chat to who knows where you're coming from you'll fit right in.

I'm truly fed up and annoyed with myself today.
The nausea has become so bad I now feel sick 24/7 . Nothing seems to be helping other than going to sleep. That's not much of an option with an 8 year old requiring attention.
I'm so upset with myself for feeling so fed up and crap when I should be delighted that I am pregnant. And I am delighted, I really am. I just hate feeling sick constantly.

Sorry for the selfish rant ladies. Hope you are all ok.

Paranoid do you mind that your friend knows? I find it annoying when people ask outright. My feeling is that if the person has chosen not to tell you yet they're probably not ready to so why ask? That said she probably asked because she's happy and excited for you and at times I find it a godsend to be able to chat about it with someone other than H.

Franks don't beat yourself up for feeling a bit miserable. Nausea is absolutely rotten, especially if you get no relief, and I really feel for anyone who is going through it. It must be even tougher with a lively 8 year old to entertain. You can feel positive and grateful for being pregnant without being wholeheartedly thankful for the unpleasant symptoms. I really hope you are feeling better soon. Each day you get through is bringing you closer when you will feel better, whenever that comes. In the meantime gentle non quease-inducing hugs for you.

How is everyone in limbo doing? Hope the wait isn't driving you too crazy.

Had a lovely day today at SIL's baby shower. Was a lovely, relaxed affair with lots of delicious cake and lovely company and what glorious weather! It was a lot easier to deal with after my positive scan but there was still a little whisper of sadness as my original edd was less than a week after SIL's.

I am biting the bullet and going bra shopping tomorrow. I am now busting out of the extremely meagre selection of bras I bought last pregnancy. I have to say I love the right style of non wired bra - soooooo comfy - but finding the non-wire bra that doesn't turn my boobs all weird and pointy or squish them flat is a challenge!

On a similarly boob-related note, if anyone is suffering itchy breasts where the skin is stretching I recommend trying massaging in sweet almond oil. Tried it today - instant, sweet relief!

Well sadly I've checked out of limbo land and have just returned home from a day in hospital.. The bleeding that started Wednesday turned in to flooding this morning followed by a MC :((

What a truely horrendous experience.

Drugged up and hoping to sleep through tonight and take some comfort from the fact my body dealt with it and sorted it.

The Dr seemed to think it was to do with catching on immediately after the coil removal and it got confused. We will never know.

No crimbo baby for us but to you all I wish you well and much joy and happiness. My stay was brief but thank you xxx

I'm so sorry em. Look after yourself.

I'm feeling rubbish too frank. Sleepis good!

glad you were able to enjoy your sil's baby shower penguin.

I would have been starting my ML now with my last pg. At least I have this secret that I am pg. I didn't know how I was going to cope if the EDD rolled around and I was still not pg.

Still early days of course. 6w today, and last mc was 6w+1

Empem I'm so sorry for your loss and that you've been through such a distressing experience. In time the pain will ease and you will feel ready to try again but for now take care of yourself and each other.

Sorry you're feeling rough too Engels I'm hoping that it is a positive sign is some small consolation!

Empem - so sorry for your loss Be kind to yourself xx

So sorry you are going through this Empem, take care of yourself

So so sorry Empem take it easy and look after yourself. Thinking of you x

Thank you for kind words penguin, think I hit a proper low yesterday. Still feeling awful today but coping a little better with it. I've got my booking appointment on Tuesday so might mention it to the midwife and see if she will take pity on me and give me something for it (if anything exists!)

So sorry Empem. Look after yourself and take it easy.

Penguin, happy you could enjoy your SIL's baby shower .

CoventGarden you made me laugh, because I am just the same! Poking my boobs all the time to check whether they are still sore. Sometimes I forget I am at work, which is very embarassing, but I think nobody has noticed...

Frank, sorry you feel so bad. I really understand how you feel because in my previous pregnancies, I felt so bad, I just hated the whole experience of being pregnant (other than knowing that a baby was growing inside me), but at the same time, felt so guilty to feel like that when I should have been grateful for being pregnant. But couldn't cope with the sickness.

This time around, I am torn between the worry of not having any symptoms, and dreading the day that the sickness will kick off (if it ever does).

Today, I feel crap though. Is that a good sign? I am not sure because I also had some brownish discharges and mild cramping. Doesn't look good I am afraid.
Have to wait one more day and a half to know for sure, when I have my scan on Tuesday.

Well, in the meantime, hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday week-end. I will try to do the same and spend some quality time with my family.

I am another one in the boob pokers club. I was worse when I was in the 2ww but still have a compulsive poke every now and then.

Had to have a stern word with myself this morning as I started to panic that the last few days of feeling less desperately hungry and having more energy obviously meant something awful. I have self-administered the appropriate fish-slaps but may need a few top-up hits with a halibut over the next few weeks. I know I can count on you ladies .

Well that will teach me for being so ungrateful. Had a bleed at 4pm. Bright red, lots of sharp pains just before hand and lots of cramps since. Epu about as helpful as a chocolate fire guard no scan until Wednesday so have to sit it out.
Looks like I'm out of the running. Devastated doesn't even come close.

I wish you all healthy pregnancies

Oh frank I'm sorry. Do get yourself to A&E if you're ina lot of physical pain.

Franks I'm so sorry. Awful too that EPU have let you down in your hour of need. I second Callings advice to get yourself to A+E if you're in a lot of pain. I am so, so sorry that you're going through this.

So sorry for your losses empem & franks. Hope the next few days are as peaceful a painless as possible.

8wks tomorrow and if all is well, should be good. Haven't had a mc past 8wks.

Hope you're ok today Melody?

So sorry Franks. Hope you are not too much in pain.

For me things are not looking good. Thanks for asking DrFunke. Bleeding has intensified, cramping as well. Sad but sort of coping better than I would have expected. I guess I knew something was wrong. Will know for sure at tomorrow's scan.

So much sad news this morning.

I'm so sorry melody, Frank and Empem.

I'm sorry melody

Fx tightly drfunkes

Today I am 6+1 - the exact day of my last mc - so will be keeping fx and thinking positively.

I am so sorry to read so much sadness over the last few days. Take care of yourselves, mc is such a horrible and heart-wrenching experience.

I should be 8w today and I am seeing the consultant tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed she scans me. I am in limbo really - I feel rubbish and exhausted but haven't actually thrown up which is unheard of for me.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Indeed, regular. I have also got my eight-week scan tomorrow. Trying not to freak out too much, but have also had very few symptoms.

Was trying to explain to DP last night that there's a very good chance that tomorrow will bring bad news, but he's all for "thinking positively". I don't think thinking positively is going to change anything though.

ETA: Sorry, Engels, I didn't mean that you shouldn't be thinking positively.
I'm just getting frustrated with DP because I feel he's not taking the very real possibility of an MC or MMC seriously.

No worries sollers . I guess what I mean is I'm trying not to think about it and get through the day! Not a proper bank holiday here (lots of businesses open, dh is at work though my school is closed). Want to take ds to playground but little blighter is refusing to eat his brekkie.

I think my dh is taking mc/mmc more "seriously" than me - he refuses to get excited which I'm finding difficult. I guess despite both our mc I feel quite full of hope.

Melody and Frank, so sorry that you're going through this

I know what you mean Sollers, my DP keeps telling me to 'think positive'. He means well but it just feels dismissive of my genuine fears, and what I went through last time. I hope you get good news at your scan. I hope they agree to give you a scan too regular, so you can stop feeling in limbo.

I should be 7w 5d by my dates, although scan measured smaller. Still have no symptoms at all. I'm very grateful to be having another scan on friday where hopefully things will be progressing well. Fingers crossed for everyone else going through this stressful journey!

Hi everyone.
So sorry to read of everyone' losses in the last few days.
And hoping everyone stays well.
Many mc in past, but most recently 5 in last 15 months.
Now about 8 w pregnant, but dating v uncertain due to irregular cycle and past bleeding in pregnancy.
Hoping to make to dating scan in 3 weeks...

Welcome Cuppa I'm sorry you've had so many losses in the past, I don't know how you're still standing after all of that. I hope this one is good and sticky.

Melody so sorry that your bleeding has continued. I hope tomorrow's scan goes as well as it can.

Good luck for your appointments tomorrow Sollers and regular. Really hope it's good news for you both.

Had a bit of a bad day as I spent most of it in A+E with H. He had a life threatening heart condition at birth and despite operations when he was tiny he still has quite a serious murmur. This morning he had a racing heart and shortness of breath so we had to hotfoot it to A+E. His heart rate has now come down to normal range but it took over two hours of complete bed rest to come down from over 200bpm. They're keeping him in overnight as a precaution as there's no cardiologist available till tomorrow. I think he's ok now it was just a horrible jolt realising how easily you can lose someone in the blink of an eye.

Blimey penguin, what a day. Hugs, and best wishes for DH speedy recovery, and continued well being

Feeling propylene grumpy,
; fed up with DH not greeting that being too hungry makes me sick, so need to eat as soon as I feel hungry, not try and vom an hour later...
Consequently not eaten in 36 hrs, too thin to do that at the best of times, and blood auger dip mood swings and dizzy spells out in force.
Sorry for grumpy post x goodnight all
