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.

Hi annie - welcome aboard. The RMC AN bus was my saviour when I had my mc in October. Fx this is a sticky bean!
I was planning on waiting to contact mw for at least a week, but they said last time to sign in asap so they can book in an early scan. Not sure if that will really help my nerves though! Just have to get through one week at a time. And I'm way too impatient so will probably sign up tomorrow online!

Welcome Annie and congratulations, fx for you.
I'm on holiday this coming week and the days seem to be going slower than ever!
I'm only 6w and have an early scan booked at 8w (private as I haven't got the energy to make my case with the NHS esp after some bad experiences when I had my miscarriage last year) I'm tempted to bring it forward by 1 week just to know one way or the other....I have got all symptoms except bad nausea - i had hyperemesis with my first 2 pregnancies so I'm scared because I'm not puking...

Welcome Annie. I'm sorry for your previous loss. I am already finding this thread so helpful in terms of sharing my fears with people who know what it's like and hope you discover the same.

Hi everyone and congrats to all
I have been lurking on this thread for a few days and thought I would now jump in. I am about 5 weeks - embarrassingly I don't know exactly as had given up meticulously counting dates and was trying to take a more relaxed attitude to it all - I guess it must have worked!.

I have had 3 MMC - 2 before I had my lovely DD and 1 most recently in August. I feel completely excited and not at all anxious (well, not too anxious) which seems weird given my history but have decided just to be happy and what will be will be. I will go for an early scan at 8 wks but not booked up yet.

Good luck to all

Hi Geewaf, congratulations on your BFP and welcome! You have a brilliant attitude, especially given your history, and I could definitely learn something from it. Despite the worries I have been letting a little bit of excitement creep back in which I'm glad about. Having a baby IS exciting!

Hi geewaf .

I'm beginning to get excited too penguin !

Hi geewaf! I think it's great that you don't know quite how far along you are, a relaxed attitude is probably very healthy! Nice that penguin and Engels are getting excited! I'm still trying to hold off with the excitement til after my scan... But still it's impossible not to get slightly drawn in by it all

Also is anyone else's sickness on and off? Felt terrible yesterday but feeling full of energy and not sick today - obviously good but is this normal?!

Yes thanks LaceyLee - hopefully I don't feel a bit of a twit when start going to appointments and can't confirm dates!! Penguin - nice that you are starting to let the excitement creep in despite all the worries - I am completely contradicting everything I told myself following my last MC which was to be calm and not get carried away etc etc but just can't help it! I figure that if the worst is to happen it will be devastating either way so might as well just go for it! My DH is the complete opposite to me and very calm and so hopefully will help me keep a level head.

That's how I feel at the moment - might be totally different next week and will be more than happy to listen to fears of others either way. When I had my DD I had brown spotting then a red bleed early on and was convinced that I had MC again so was shocked to see the little heartbeat on screen. With my MCs I have had a mix of symptoms, no symptoms, spotting no spotting so basically I have no clue what to expect or what is the right or wrong thing to be feeling. Doesn't stop me symptom spotting with the best of them though ;)

Hi all. Lacey I have been the same, felt quite nauseous yesterday and hardly ate. Today I've woken up hungry and full of energy and we've decided to go out and get some bits for a BBQ! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoys the bank holiday x

thank you for the welcome!

I was just worrying about on-and-off sickness too. It's so reassuring to feel queasy.

Is anyone else taking 75mg of aspirin daily? My OBGYN consultant told me after miscarriage "when you get pregnant again start taking Baby Asprin as soon as you find out until 12 weeks". I'm doing it but feel unsure, will speak to GP about it next week.

Hi everyone,
Hope you don't mind me joining you! I got my BFP on friday. I have a DD who is 8 and suffered a mmc in october 2011.
I am not entirely sure how far along I am as AF is horrendously irregular. I reckon I'm around 5-6 weeks though.
I am finding it really difficult to remain calm with this pregnancy. Trying to take each day as it comes but its so difficult.

Hi franks and welcome. Hope this thread can give you a little comfort in what is clearly a scary time.

Annie I have not heard of the aspirin thing? Intrigued though and curious to hear more, must google it when I get home!!

annie I'm on daily 75mg aspirin aka baby aspirin, I can't remember exactly what it's for but part of treatment given by hospital

Welcome Franks and congratulations! Having difficulty staying calm about being pregnant this time makes you officially 100% normal. Hopefully being able to talk about it on here will be a help.

Thanks Gee and Penguin!
I never thought I would be so delighted to have sore boobs! Nearly hit the roof trying to put my bra on this morning. Feeling a little delicate this morning also. I'm going to ask for a blood test today to try and work out my dates.
Hope everyone has a lovely day.

I'm with you on the sore boobs Franks. I am perilously close to having to buy some new bras to accommodate my burgeoning bosoms! My theory is that because I'm usually very modestly endowed they need to get growing straight away to catch up.

Anyone else got the post bank holiday blues? Think it's partly because I've had a stinking cold since Saturday afternoon so don't really feel like I made the most of the long weekend. Oh well, it's only a 4 day week so how bad can it be?

Got my booking in appointment this Friday which I guess gets the ball rolling for booking the 12 week scan. I chucked my notes away from my last pregnancy but should I have kept them?

Hello
Can I join? I had a miscarriage a few years ago at 7 weeks, and have unexpectedly become pregnant naturally just as we were about to start IVF. I'm also nearly 40 and have a bicornate uterus, so to say I'm terrified is an understatement.

I'm 6+2 today and I'm not due to have a scan for another two weeks. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to keep it together until then. I do have rather magnificent boobs at the moment though, which is some consolation.

Hi Sollers and welcome. Congratulations . What does a bicornate uterus mean for your pregnancy? Does it increase the risks? You're in the right place for some hand-holding as you navigate the scary bits. Hope the 2 weeks goes as quickly as it can.

Hi and thanks Penguin.

A bicornate uterus means there's a higher risk of miscarriage. As if my age and previous history weren't risk factors enough.

However, I had an early scan last week and it appears that bean has implanted so I can only hope at this stage that it sticks.

But yeah, with you on the post-holiday blues. I had a snotty cry over dp earlier, then got annoyed when he gave me a "hormone-sympathy" smile. Poor bloke. I am a delight to be with at the moment.

Hi sollers !

I've just registered with mw online.

I'm on 2w holiday now! (Sorry penguin - not trying to gloat). Maybe will help?

Hi Sollers
Congratulations!
My OH has run out of "hormone sympathy'' smiles. His latest thing is when i say "my boobs are so sore" or "eugh, I feel sick" he just says "good!" (in a positive jolly upbeat way). That is really really getting on my tits and he knows it!

I just got a bfp a few days ago while in hospital for an unrelated matter. Booked into epu on friday to date and check after the injury/drugsctaken for it, etc, though it has to be

Haha Annie my H said that exact thing to me not 5 mins ago when I said my boobs were uber-sore . As for the hormonal tears I think he's getting used to random incidents such as me bawling at, um, Britain's Got Talent and don't even get me started on the teensy kitten on the vet programme we were watching that had been run over. Blub central. He knows the drill though. Don't ask why I'm crying, I probably don't know, just give me a big cuddle and pretend this is completely normal behaviour
