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.

Sorry you're suffering with constipation Mrs I feel your pain. I have been on the prunes too! Luckily I quite like them.

Although I am very very happy for my SIL + BIL I am quite teary this evening as tomorrow would have been my original EDD. It's particularly tough seeing pictures of my gorgeous baby nephew and thinking of what might have been.

penguin congrats on being an auntie, and sorry the timing is throwing a shadow on the event, it's a difficult time, virtual big hug.

I've finished the meds, only staying on baby aspirin from now on, and still don't feel pg, 11+6. Scan on Friday @ 9am. Scared.

Hope everyone is managing to hold on.

Hi ladies can I jump on - only just discovered this thread existed!

Am (hopefully) 12+5 with dc2. Its felt like a long time coming, ds only took 3 months to conceive so we'd naively expected similar this time, but its taken 2 years & a mmc last June (at 11+1) to get here.

Its been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster this time. I've wanted to be excited, but haven't really dared, in case it all goes wrong again.

I've not had an early scan so its felt like such a long time to get here to the 12 week scan. Its tomorrow morning & am terrified! Keeping everything crossed that its good news.

Looking forward to posting a bit more & getting to know you all as we share this wonderful journey together!

welcome omama, i think we all know how you feel about not daring to get excited about the pg. Feel free to share your worries, although, fx you'll get some good news tomorrow and will be able to relax a bit. At what time is your scan?

Glad you're joining us omama and just in time with your scan tomorrow! Sorry to hear about your previous loss. You've been very patient not to have had an early scan this time. Do let us know what time your scan is tomorrow, we'll all be thinking of you with fx. Look forward to celebrating a good outcome with you tomorrow x

Welcome Omama. Good luck for your scan tomorrow. Hoping this is when you start to relax and get excited about your pregnancy. I don't know how you made it through to now without an early scan, it must have been a very anxious wait, but you did it!

Thanks ladies. I don't know how I've lasted so long either! When I was pg with ds I had my scan at 11 weeks so this one feels really late at almost 13! Scan is at 9.30 so at least haven't got to wait around all day.

How far along are all of you? Have you had your 12wk scans yet?

Happy scan day Omama.Fingers crossed for good news.

Thinking of you omama not long now eeeekkk!
I had my 12 wk scan last Tuesday in answer to your question. Now 13+6 and still waiting for the blood test results

Good luck with the scan Omama!

Scan week after next here, had booking yesterday, feels a bit more real now!

Basgetti, I feel amazingly non/pregnant, aside from tiredness, boobs are feeling normal sized Etc so fingers crossed for you getting some rubbish symptoms soon, I hope you throw up

Congrats Penguin on the new squishy nephew. Thinking of you on your due date. I got a takeaway & had a good cry on my (8wk) mc due date. X

Hello all. Hope the scan went well omama. Congrats on the new little neff penguin, sorry that it coincides with a sad date for you, be kind to yourself.

My edd for my mmc was at the end of Feb, so it was almost as if once I'd moved past that I finally relaxed enough to conceive again, seems like a lifetime ago now.

Finally have my booking in tomorrow afternoon, and then scan on Monday. I still feel pg, but baffled at how well I feel generally (apart from awful skin), I am grateful though. Walked 16km on Sunday whilst supporting MrPres on his marathon, I was a bit broken at the end, but my energy levels have definitely improved from a few weeks ago.

Just popping on to say hi, welcome to our new friend but mostly because I couldn't not update from the inside my mum's car, where I am currently resting / snoozing
We are on a three day mini-break with my DS and all the walking around is making me SO TIRED. She keeps asking me if I'm ok in this concerned voice when it's just that I want to close my eyes!

Welcome omama

Thinking of you today penguin

Thinking of you today penguin.

Well sorry for keeping you waiting all day.... had scan this morn & all was well. So so relieved!

Excellent news omama you are just about forgiven for keeping us waiting so long!

Hope today has not been too hard penguin. I didn't have an exact due date for either of my mc's (I purposely never looked it up) but I know the date of the second one would have been some time at the end of this month. Some things are just not meant to be and everything happens for a reason. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that you are currently much further on in your pregnancy and you have had very good scans so far.

Well the sun has finally made an appearance here - just as I have no energy to do anything other than eat dinner and put DD to bed. This wet weather really sucks!

Hooray Omama great news! Relieved to hear as I have been checking since this morning Wonderful end to the day.

Thank you all for understanding that even though we have our silver lining it was still a sad day. I feel like you are the only ones who understand that. Even DH doesn't fully get it but I think it's in his dna to look forward and see the positive. For me it's been important to acknowledge our loss today even though I know how lucky we are to have conceived and have a healthy pregnancy this time.

Thinking of you today Penguin x

That's great news omama!

I still don't feel pg, but scan was fine, very thorough, baby is well, alive and kicking, sonographer guessed it's a girl, that would make it easier as we only have a girl name . Now awaiting blood result but NT was fine. So happy and relieved, still trying to take it all in. And I can start shouting it to the world

Oh that's such lovely news Covent, so pleased for you.

After always being convinced I wouldn't want to know the gender, I am now desperate to know. MrPres is desperate not to know in advance. Argh!

Congratulations Paranoid that is brilliant news! Hopefully you will have to think about changing your name now. I'm thinking 'positive coventgarden'. Enjoy being able to tell people.

Bit of an annoying day as I had a letter to say the hospital hadn't received my blood test for downs screening and it transpires that because my midwife gave me the wrong form which they don't use any more they rejected the sample so I will have to have yet more time off work to get a new sample done on Monday not to mention the cost of getting to the hospital and waiting even longer for the result .

penguin that's annoying.
president you can find out and not tell mrpres

I'm a bit confused, they said I am low risk for downs 1:500 but they have offered me the Harmony test (free) which we agreed too. Result in 10 days. Nurse did say that just a few months ago it wouldn't have been available to us, hopefully it's mainly for their research and our reassurance.

Oh I am envious of your free Harmony test, we really can't justify £500 for it, but will find it somehow. 1:500 is low risk so I suspect it's just for research purposes. Are you at UCLH or Kings?

Thanks president, UCLH, it feels like we have been guinea pigs from the start and that's fine by us, always happy to help research.

I'd love to be at UCLH, they looked after me incredibly well last year.

Had my booking in yesterday, all fine. Still a bit unsure as to whether I've opted for the right hospital. Scan and fasting blood test on Monday.

How's everyone doing today? I can't believe it's actually sunny!
