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.

Thanks for the support ladies and the reassurance Lacey. No more 'proper' bleeding today, just back to the brown stuff. I feel rubbish, sick and tired and off all food apart from crisps it seems! This pregnancy has to be viable because feeling this rubbish needs to be worth it!!

Hope you're all doing ok today. Going for a lunchtime stroll in the sunshine now and try to relax

Yep cakes hopefully feeling rubbish is a good sign as is no fresh bleeding. Over the past few days my symptoms have picked up a bit, mainly swollen, painful boobs but my initial hunger has also returned with a vengeance. Literally. Cannot. Stop. Eating! I am fortunate that so far have only had the mildest of nausea and I'd quite like to keep it that way.

After some deliberation we moved our private scan date to 01 May as I'd be 9 weeks by then and it's roughly half way between our last scan and whenever our next scan will be. A little longer to wait but hopefully some more reassurance when we get there.

I'll join this one too :)
Congrats all first of for our wee xmas babys!!

I sadly mc at 10 weeks in november and finally conceived around 4-6 weeks ago i reckon.... :) we are over the moon!! Although so scared at the same time, i can't help stress, then panic at any twinge or pain!
Although for the last few hours i have suffered a stabbing like pain, anyone else had this? Reeeeally concerned :( scared to go to the loo as well

Welcome cakes & tinks, sorry for your previous losses and congrats on your BFP. [tea] to healthy Xmas babies.
Relaxing a bit but not sleeping. The fact that I'm pg is slowly sinking in @ 5+6. I've booked appointment with GP, 2 weeks to scan [sight] can time go any slower.

Welcome Tinks. I'm sorry for previous loss. Congratulations on your new BFP! I completely understand your over-analysis of every little twinge. Where is the stabbing pain? Previous pregnancy I had some awful wind which felt quite stabby and was surprisingly painful, that was in the general tummy area. This time I have had mildly stabby pains around my pubic bone which Dr Google has informed me is quite normal and relates to things adjusting to accommodate the invader baby.

Thank youuuu
Yeah i read this on google too. It's in my left tubey area...... Away now it comes and goes! Had a wee twitch when i woke up this morning, think its certain ways i move as well!
Hope its ok..... Because its early stages of of the preg its just going to drag so much now!!

Is anyone else getting some major hunger? I am constantly snacking as I am finding that I feel ravenous but after half my usual portion I feel full. Not that I am complaining, would take being extra hungry over ms any day of the week! I am armed with healthy snacks of yoghurt, homemade popcorn and carrot sticks. Any other good suggestions of low cal/ healthy treats to keep hunger at bay but make sure I don't gain an unhealthy amount of weight?

Fruit? Rice cake?

Hi can I join? I am due about 17th December and I had a MMC in December at 13 weeks. I am really anxious and would like to chat to others in the same position. I've struggled alot since the MC and am really desperate for a happy outcome this time, but just can't bring myself to feel any excitement yet. Just a matter of waiting I guess!

Welcome Basgeti. I'm sorry you've found yourself in this club. I had an mmc diagnosed at 13 weeks in November so I can understand some of your fears. Congratulations on your BFP . I am the worst at taking my own advice but all you can do is take it one day at a time and think 'today I am pregnant'.

Welcome basgetti :)
I'm exactly the same as yourself, i mc in november and found it really hard myself. It doesnt help since tuesday i've had sharp stabbing like pains in my left lower area... Dr google has made me feel slightly better as seems to be normal as that area is growing and adjusting.... But i can still feel it, it comes and goes! I will give it until monday i think before i phone the doctor. I am always so scared to go to the loo :(

I just want to feel pregnant too, i didnt last time and i dont this time! Maybe still too early, my expected due date is the 20-21st but doctor reckons the 8th but i know im not that far i ovulated on cd28 this month going by my calculations lol. Anyways i hope i make it to my 12 week scant his time but i shall be a paranoid wreck up until that point!!

Thanks for the welcome.
BabyTinks I am the same,with the last pregnancy I didn't even feel sick, and had a negative diabetes test, when I'd had both GD and hyperemesis while pregnant with DS. I thought I was just lucky but it turned out to be a bad sign. I don't feel pregnant yet either, I never thought I'd be hoping for sickness!
I have an essay due in today that I have barely started, am too distracted and anxious. I will try to follow the mantra 'today I am pregnant.'

Welcome basgetti and sorry about your mmc, I had one in Sept. @ 8 weeks. I've been lucky to get good support from the hospital then, but it doesn't stop the fear this time. I had sore boobs and exhaustion the first time and for this one, absolutely nothing, anyway just to say that I understand your feelings, it's so emotionally draining. Here's a bag of patience for you.

Hi all - is it ok if I join you all? Like lots of you, I had a MMC in December (slow heart beat seen at 9 weeks then another 2 weeks to confirm MC and get D&C) and am currently 6+5 and absolutely terrified the same thing is going to happen! I have a referral from my GP for an early scan but I can't decide whether to go on Saturday (7 weeks exactly) or leave it until Tuesday (7+3). I think I am most scared of going and being told there is no HB and I need to wait to confirm and being stuck in limbo....at least at 7+3 if there is no HB I know for sure it is bad news? Literally no symptoms apart from bloating so not feeling very hopeful.....sorry, need to get some positive vibes flowing!!! 4 days weekend should sort that!

Hi Popcorn. I'm sorry for your previous loss. We are pretty much universally afraid of the same thing happening again so you're in good company to wait it out. I can totally understand why you are dithering about what date to do the scan. It's that fine balancing act between wanting to know as soon as possible but not going so early that you end up with more worry and waiting. I was delighted to see a heartbeat at 6+3 but of course am now worried because it was so early anything can happen and seeing a hb at that stage, whilst positive, is no guarantee that things will be okay. If it were me I'd probably feel like I should hold out for 7 weeks 3 days but end up going at 7.

Hi Popcorn. I am off to see the doc this evening and am hoping to get a referral for an early scan, only 6+3 at the moment, but convinced that nothing is happening due to lack of symptoms. I thought that if I hung out until after the Easter weekend I'd be 7wks by then.

If anything I feel very calm this time as I'm actually expecting the worst, so anything else will be a massive bonus.

Fingers crossed for all of us.

Thanks for the welcome! Sorry we all find ourselves here but have to believe we will all get there! President - I told my GP I wasn't entirely sure of my dates to get the referral, just in case that helps you! Probably a bit naughty but I really can't imagine waiting until 12 weeks. Penguin - are you going for another scan before 12 weeks? I can see this getting as addictive as POAS for me if first one goes ok (albeit a little more expensive which will def curb my enthusiasm!!) I'll let you guys know what I decide....head says Tuesday, nerves say I can't wait that long! Hope you all have a lovely long weekend with lots of distractions! x

Yes Popcorn I've booked a private scan at 9 weeks - the reasoning being that if everything still looks good at that stage the risk of mc is substantially lower and it's roughly the halfway point between my previous scan and 12 weeks.

Yes, enjoy the lovely long weekend everyone. May it be filled with reassuring symptoms not nausea though so we can enjoy our easter eggs and sunshine!

Hi everyone and welcome to the newbies, I hope all goes well for you this time.
I'm on holiday still and we're not having the best of times due to some more brown spotting. It's got a lot less now but there was quite a bit last night and was very worried. Feeling a lot better today but realistically there is a good chance things won't work out, wish me luck!

Just going to mark my place here too.

lacey, everything crossed for you.

Hope all goes well at the drs president

I'm on pg 7, hoping for dc#3, but with zero symptoms not feeling great (well, I am feeling great, there's the problem!) my latest mc was 7ishwks and I'm 5+4 today, so just hoping to get past that milestone first.
I keep on trying to be positive but whenever DH is 'omg, can you imagine how much 3 teenagers will eat', I think stfu! We're only ever having 2!

Lacey I'm so sorry you're having more spotting. What awful timing as well with you on holiday when you should be able to relax and enjoy yourselves. Sending you a big squeeze and keeping everything crossed for you. When will you be back in the UK?

Hi DrFunkes you've found the right place for some hand-holding (or manly arm punching, as you prefer) whilst you wait to get past the milestones. I'm sorry you've had to go through those losses, hope this is your third take home baby. It's never reassuring to have a lack of tangible symptoms but (as you know) it isn't necessarily a bad sign. Fingers crossed you start feeling rubbish soon

Well, that was a roaring success. Walked in told him I was pregnant, that I thought I should check in with him because I'm old and fat (basically the two worst things you can be re: pregnancy apart from a crack addict) and that I'd had an MMC last summer and was convinced it was going to happen again, and then it all fell apart and I bawled my eyes out for ten minutes.

He's referring me to the EPU on Tues for an early scan.

lacey can you go and get checked where you are now? fx for some positive news soon.
drFunk sorry to see you checking in the one too
president well done

AIBU question: i am still undecided about taking the train to Germany tomorrow, 6+0. My logic is usually don't do anything that you might blame yourself for in case of mc. At nearly 39, this is my last NHS attempt. Sorry i know i've asked before but it would help to have your opinion again .

Well done for getting through the GP appointment President. I was very similar when I called the community midwife and got a scan. You got a great result, not long to wait for a scan now. How far along will you be on Tues?

Paranoid not having gone through treatment I'm not sure what I would do in your situation but can't see how going to Germany would be an issue. What are you specifically concerned about?

I guess I'm scared that the vibrating motion of the train might make it lose its grip, it sounds silly and I feel completely irrational (very unlike me) but I just want to wrapped my bean up in cotton wool. On the other hand it's important for OH that we go.
