Had a miscarriage and due in April 2015? shall we try not to scare the other ones?

[TinyTear]

Hello

Having had 5 mcs and 1 DD I am not feeling very hopeful (juest realistic) even though I am doing different things than before...

4w today and on cyclogest pessaries since CD21...

Maybe we could have a separate thread to the biiiig one so we don't scare the others with our (my) negativity...

Welcome

TinyTear, 40, 1 DD, 5mcs, due in April but don't want to know the exact day...

little I also had the blood flow done at my 12 week scan.

shetland I cant remember the name of the vets off the top of my head (baby brain) but they were amazing, ill check when I get back from my midwife appointment (no idea why I booked one for 8.40 on my day off) ive got the details filed away incase I ever need them again.

So it seems standard most places but not at mine. Surprising considering its a major city teaching hospital.

Morning ladies. How are you all?

I'm ok but in major shock. I managed to put on 7lbs!! I really must stop eating bread & cheese! So not looking forward to my booking in appointment on Tuesday :( Not to mention my NHS nuchal scan.... I'm absolutely dreading it.

Tiny thanks for clarifications of the 3 rules of MC. I was only given miscarriage treatment in this pregnancy because of my 3 previous miscarriages.

London I haven't even bothered to weigh myself I did notice at booking in I was about 9 pounds heavier compared to the year before. I usually loose a stone or two when pregnant but I've eaten better in this pregnancy.

I'm feeling ok still acid Bo iting due to reflux, and still bubbling.

Its amazing what a good nights sleep can do, I am feeling good today!! 14+6 today so its about time, reckon I won't feel so good later on this afternoon/evening though!

Hope everyones ok??

i only weigh myself at the appointments

lost 1kg from booking app to this week which is great, have started reducing sugar, carbs and being slightly lower GI

I have gained 7 pounds as well. Have no idea how as I've been being sick 10 times a day for the last 6 weeks! In between I am just eating carbs carbs carbs though as that's all I can stomach and I'm quite puffy all over already, which is worrying me as I had pre eclampsia with DS.

Been to the GP today and have my third different type of anti sickness drug to try. Getting a bit fed up now!

12+4

bitchpeas you have my sympathies Hypermisser is dreadful I had it during my first pregnancy. Strangely all the women in my family get it during their first pregnancy. I still have MS longer than usual in my pregnancies but not as bad.
The only that worked for me was the bum injection. Its sore but not as bad as the Anti-D.

I had hyperemesis in my first pregnancy too - it was bloody awful, so you have my deepest sympathy bitchpeas

I am starting to feel generally better except for the bloody horrible taste I have in my mouth for most of the day.

12 week scan tomorrow - dreading it and wanting it over with at the same time.

Thank you both! I am a misery at the moment, especially as I'm surrounded by women who never even felt sick during all their pregnancies it's annoying!

Fingers crossed for your scan Shetland

How is everyone?

oneday also sorry about your dog. Do you have insurers? Can there refer you to the animal health trust in Newmarket? They are brilliant.
London 7lb . I am up 11 lb – it was +12lb but I seem to have lost 1 and my weight hasn’t gone up since 10.5 weeks. I did gain a lot with dd in the 1st trimester too and only 2.5 stone overall so hopefully the same will happen again but I do hate that fat stage. At least when I was bloated I looked pregnant whereas now I just look fat. But eating through the nausea helped reduce it a bit.

peas sorry you are feeling so bad. I don’t know how people deal with the actually being sick as I have been struggling just with the all day nausea for the last 2 months.

lila glad you had a good sleep. I also had a good sleep after 2 really bad nights. My nausea is definitely better if I get a good sleep and it often seems to be a vicious circle as I cannot sleep because I feel sick and then feel sicker because I haven’t slept.

little I like your 24 week goal. I think it is quite a significant milestone the day that the little one would have a chance if born that day.

Not much from me as had a busy week at work. Been telling people and spending less time covering up my pouch. I really hate telling people, and spend the whole time justifying that it is going well ‘so far’. I wish I could be one of those people that was excited about it all. Feeling quite good in the day and then plummet in the evening – I just get home, put dd to bed then go to bed around 8/9pm. Meant to be going out in London on Monday night but don’t think I will be able to deal with it.

LIG your not alone in hating telling people and making it clear that its "ok for now" its the way others just expect this time will be fine, my family think if the keep saying dont worry you'll be fine that will make me feel better rather than just validating my feelings.

I still haven't told anyone. We are hoping that we will get the all clear from the nuchal & Harmony results on Thursday and are planning to tell my DS and the rest of my family next weekend.

Not sure when to tell work though......

And sorry for those that are suffering from MS. Yesterday afternoon, I vomited for the first time in this pregnancy. But I have been quite nauseous. The only way to overcoming it is by eating lots. I dread to think of what my colleagues are thinking of me!

I have now told some people at work.
the whole department is going on a jolly to Porto soon and i had to decline - at least now i can say i couldn't cope to be with a bunch of drunk people while i cant drink

I was doing really good on the sickness front yesterday no vomiting until I finally tried to take my mega Folic acid. Bad idea I often can keep it down even though its a tiny tablet.
I'm started to wonder of I should stop it, I miss green veg!
As far as I know its routinely prescribed in recurrent MC as they think it may help protect against GD? But both previous pregnancies I've been negative for GD.
It is also proscribed for those that are overweight, I am, because studies suggest you need to take more FA for it to obsorb better.

I'm 12+6 today.

Little I was told that I can stop the high dose of folic acid once I get to 12 weeks. Maybe you can check whether you can too?

I didn't realise that there is a link between high dose FA and GD. I thought it had to do with the neural development of the baby in the first 12 weeks?

And congratulation to getting to 12+6.... the second trimester is just round the corner now :)

London yes its meant to be for Neural tube defects but new research/theories suggest it might be benefit those at high risk of GD I get the feeling there is no real evidence yet.
I was supposed to take it all the way through last time might have been because I was at one point folate anemic but then again maybe they just forgot bit like when the forgot to order me a blood transfusion!
I will double check with new Dr.

Hello all,

My 12w scan was fine - dated at 12+4 which was a bonus. Not clear of worry yet as I need a 16 week scan to check for spina bifida but at least things are looking ok so far.

I've been looking forward to this scan so I can start telling people, but it seems now I can I don't want to?!

shetland great news. It seems reluctance to tell is fairly common feeling, I would wait till you feel confident till telling, if that means waiting till 16 weeks then so be it.

Glad your scan went well shetland

im 16+5 and I still havent told people I keep saying im waiting till half term when we tell dsc to announce it but the truth is I just dont want to tell people.

my family, mil, my 2 best friends and my bosses know, its getting harder to hide as my bump keeps popping every couple of days so I look pregnant rather than fat, so im going to have to start telling people but I just dont want to.

Good news Shetland!

I have now started wearing my baby on board badge in the commute. Has helped on some days

Do we need a new thread soon? Anyone MN-savvy that could set one up?

I'll try and do it in a bit. I think we are 20ish posts away :-)
