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.

It doesn't sound silly at all, when my SIL had her embryos implanted she said she was scared to even walk for fear of making them fall out or something! I do think it would be fine but ultimately you have to decide whether you want to go.

I'll be 7+1 Penguin. I think the scan will be a bit later in the week though.

Oh Covent I'm sure the train journey would be absolutely fine, if things were so easily dislodged, walking and sneezing would be an issue too.

I know that rationality goes out of the window though. I would say what my GP said to me though, pretty much nothing you do or don't do would be responsible for it not working at this point. If you are really worried though, could your dh go on his own or with a friend instead?

Hi ladies, room for one more?

Tentaively sticking my head onto the thread as not even 4w yet (AF not due till Sunday) but have had faint lines on hpts today and last night.

I had my 2nd mc in October at 6w+1. Dragged out for ages as my HCG kept rising for a few weeks so had to be monitored by hospital till it fell to 0 which was very frustrating ( especially since I got pg my 1st cycle with DS after my 1st mc in 2010 at 5w+5).

Not feeling quite brave enough to stick my head into the main thread yet, at least until I get through the next week.

CallingAllEngels DC2 EDD 28th December

Welcome Angel, i hope everything goes to plan this time for you.

Thank you for your messages. Well, i've packed my bag (most of it is medication ) and i think i'll decide at the station, i'm aware that pregnant women commute by train to work in London everyday. president the nurse and the counsellor said pretty much the same thing to me, it's now outside our control, if it wants to stick it will.

Welcome Engels I'm sorry you've been through two mcs. Really hope this new little bean grabs on tight.

Paranoid hope you manage to relax if you make it onto the train.

Feeling quite guilty for planning a very quiet Easter weekend and not seeing family. I'm just shattered. We did see my family last weekend but feel like I should have made plans to see them over Easter. So shattered though, did a tiny bit of gardening this morning and feel like I've been for a run.

Good luck Covent, hope you have a lovely and relaxing break!

penguin enjoy your quiet weekend.
Your family will forgive you when you tell them your news

I'm now waiting to board. And wondering if my panic attacks are due to progesterone picks (morning and evening medication). Lucky for him OH booked tickets for 3pm and security guards were understanding and didn't make me go through x-ray.

Picks=peaks

Urgh. Feeling shocking this morning and about to go on an hour and a half driving lesson - hooray! Still only slight nausea but feeling horribly shaky and faint. Hate driving lessons at the best of times. Wasn't planning on telling my driving instructor just yet but might have to as otherwise he may wonder why I insist on eating a banana midway through my lesson [hmmm]

Any news Lacey? Thinking of you.

How is everyone feeling? I keep bursting into tears, not sure if this is normal! Starting to feel a bit pregnant now though, gone very bloated, my boobs are in agony and I'm very very tired. I'm taking this as a good sign that things are progressing so far. x

Hello all! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend and feeling ok. Paranoid I hope the train was alright! I (obviously) caved this morning and went for my scan and despite having zero symptoms, there is a baby there with a heartbeat!!! Hope that is a comfort to those on here who have also been worried by a lack of symptoms. So delighted and surprised - was a shaky sobbing mess beforehand! X

That's brilliant Popcorn

Hooray Popcorn! Brilliant news that your little kernel is doing well . The great news is that I think that at 7 weeks the odds of things going well if you see the heartbeat at this stage improve to something like 95%. So pleased for you.

Hi all, back from holidays & brown spotting has finished for now thank goodness! Popcorn that's great news about your scan!! Hoping mine is similar on thurs... Thinking there are three options from the brown stuff: all fine, mc or blighted ovum... Trying to be positive. Paranoid hope you enjoy yourself in Germany and penguin that sounds quite rubbish having a driving lesson whilst feeling sicky!! Nausea is kicking in here too, though not actually thrown up yet!

Good news popcorn.

X-posted. Glad things are okay lacey

Great news popcorn, so happy for you.

basgetti sorry you're feeling tearful, I've had that too last week, and think it's quite normal when pg after an mmc, lots of emotions are resurfacing, I hope you manage to get some reassurance soon and manage to enjoy the journey.

Well, train journey was fine, very smooth. Once I had my head screwed back on, I remembered that bean has as much chances of falling of me as a grain of rice has of a peanut butter sandwich. The main risk of travelling is blood clot but I had plenty of space and water and I'm on blood thinner.

Ok so I've been lurking back here for a while now and I've decided I am ready to put in writing that for now at least I'm back in the game.

Those of you that have been here for a while may remember that I had a scan when I should've been 6+4 that showed an empty sac measuring 6-7 weeks. Well I went back for another scan on Wednesday having had no pain or bleeding (other than a bit of brown spotting) and lo and behold they saw a yolk sac and a fetal pole with heartbeat!

Apparently fetal pole measured only 5-6 weeks so they think I just ovulated late and my dates were out. They said it is unusual to have such a large sac for my dates but didn't seem to think it was a problem. I, of course am still convinced it is a bad sign but I know I am in good company on this thread and I am hoping for a bit of mutual hand holding.

I posted under a different name on the pg thread to see if anyone else had experienced this but nobody seems to have. I'm desperately trying to stay away from Professor Google and trying to just take each day as it comes. I don't have any more scans booked as they said I could be discharged from epau until my 12 week scan.

Sorry for the mamouth post

ftn glad to see you back

Thanks everyone! Ftn that is great news!!! Delighted for you! Lacey glad to hear the spotting has stopped, from all the reading I have done it seems pretty common and most of the time doesn't mean anything so fx for you x

Great news ftn !

Wow that's amazing mrsftn! Great to have more positive news
Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm feeling crappy today, so sick!! And tired, I'm just lazing on the sofa when there's lots I should be doing aaagh! How's everyone else feeling today? Happy Easter all x

Brilliant MrsFtn! Fantastic to have more positive news. You must be so relieved. Welcome back Lacey good news that spotting has stopped. Hopefully more good news to come on Thurs.

Happy Easter everyone! I've been following this thread and think I'm ready to join now at 7 weeks. I am due around 7th December. I had a MC in November 2012 at 8.5 weeks. I was really down after the MC and even though I am so over-the-moon I find it hard to accept that this one might be viable. I'm trying to keep a lid on it and not think too much until 12 weeks (that'll never happen!). I will be so happy if it works out this time as I have just finished 3 rounds of Clomid and the next step was IVF. I'm 40 and this is will be my first, feeling a bit wobbly about that too! I'm going to book an appt with midwife next week. Can't believe it.
