Thread 2
Nearly at the 12w mark for all and we can start some stats!

14+0

little - I used it from ovulation till I got my period and then the times I got pregnant I kept on till 12 weeks. I suspected that the low progesterone could be a cause of my very early mc. They say that when the placenta kicks in the amounts of progesterone produced by the placenta is tiny compared to the supplementation so there is not much point in continuing. But it helps give the body a boost in cases of low progesterone. Luckily it seems to have worked for both of my sucessful pregnancies but difficult to know if they would have been sucessful anyway.

Thanks LIG them I probably don't need them then.
I think when they are given later in pregnancy its by suppository I'll speak to my consultant about it.

Thank you everyone, im so relieved beanies ok ive been really emotional and keep bursting into tears I think ive allowed myself to believe im going to be a mummy.

I think I focused on the scan being about finding out the sex because it stopped me freaking out, if I let myself think about the actual reason for having a scan I started to panic.

I did announce on facebook at 19weeks, by then all our families and close friends knew so it was only the last few people that found out that way.

Woo hoo fab news smiling!

Awe smiling that's so lively, I'm glad you feel like that.

Lovely I mean, although I'm sure the little guy is getting rathe lively now too.

Babie, no wonder you're worried, sounds horrible. Great that the maternity unit are supporting you well, and try not to stress too much... Easy to say I know...

Babiecakes - sounds traumatic but good they found a reason and that they actively encouraged you to come back if it happens again.

Had an awful night with dd. dh did his share till 2am till he got deaf and slept through the rest. I am now up with her on my lie in. Was tempted to take her to the Dr yesterday but didn't -wish I had now.

How scary Babies. Hope it will all be ok

Aw LIG poor DD. Was she coughing? I had probably the first good night in a week so sympathise. And even so it was because we put the monitor right down so heard coughing but more distant.

Little yes it's baby aspirin 75mg. I have always bought it from Boots & I've never had a prescription for it. They will ask you why you need it. I always say it's to treat miscarriages!

Babie gosh what a scary experience. Bit it must be comforting to know the reason for the bleeds & that baby is ok :)

LIG I hope your DD is over the worst. Wake your DH and he can take over now.

Poor you babies, great thatyou feel supported by the maternity unit though.

Hope your DD feels a bit better today LIG.

babies I'm Sorry that sounds scary.
So did they already know the cause but didn't share it with you?

LIG how unfortunate your DH went deaf, it seems to be a problem with the male species that only occurs at nighttime or bottom wiping time.
I hope your DD perks up to today.

London thanks I will get DH to pick some up.

I'm feeling uncomfortable today and a bit leaky but I'm 18 weeks today and this is when I stared dilating so maybe just anxious.
I don't know what gets into my DH but everytime I'm pregnant he starts talking about a large family (4-5 kids!) I can barely get one to viability.
One of his reasons is he thinks due to my 'strong personality' I will be a nightmare MIL and it would be better to share my nutty behaviour around many kids.

Hope you're ok babie - that sounds scary, but good that you have a reason and a good hospital - sounds like you're in the right hands.

babies so glad you found an understanding midwife. It frustrates me that they just bring out the 'its normal' line without even investigating it.
I'm glad its nothing dangerous.

My abdomen feels so uncomfortable it has done since yesterday evening, I'm not too sure if I'm under-reacting.
I would call the hospital if I wasn't going in for a scan tomorrow and I know there are no scans avalible at the weekend and a speculum exam could make it worse.
I really don't know what to do.

Oh Little, I guess if you were really owrried you could go to a an e? Call the Maternity unit? If you have a scan booked for tomorrow they will almost certainly tell you to sit tight till then. I get uncomfortable when I havent been to the loo for a while, I used to be incredibly regular but pregnancy has changed that, that and trapped wind. Could it be either of those?

I know its not easy to stop worrying and I would be the same in your position, hoping its nothing to worry about xx

lila we have maternity triage so I could go there but I know with nothing specific to report other than feeling uncomfortable I will be told to wait till the scan.
Its just with DD (and currently at the exact gestation) from when I suspected something was wrong to proving it was 48 hours and I dilated too far for them to do a stitch.
Gah I think I'm Going to vomit with the stress.

What time is your scan tomorrow? Can you go there at 8am and wait for cancellations? Just spend the day at the hospital?

2pm. Its at fetal medicine so I doubt many cancelations but I think I will call them early and let them know and see if I can e bumped up the list.

If really is digestive trouble then I really need to speak to my GP about medication for lactic acid my sensitivity is at ridiculous levels if I'm getting this ill from trace amounts.

Hello all,

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Little - it is must be so tough waiting and not knowing what is going on. You have nothing too lose from calling to see if you can come in earlier. At least you don't have to beg to be scanned as there is something in the system for tomorrow.

We have had a tough weekend. dd went downhill yesterday afternoon so ended up taking her to the out of hours gp. Hoping the antibiotics kick in soon although she is on 4 times a day for 10 days and hates the medicine and has already fainted from breath holding to stop us giving it to her. Been a long weekend although did leave her with dh to go out for lunch with a friend earlier which was lovely. Got my lie in today so feel less exhausted.

little so sorry you're having such a worrying time. I hope you get some reassurance tomorrow and can be brought forward too.

babies glad you've got some answers. Rest up and look after yourself

So sorry for all those with poorly little ones too. I can't imagine being pregnant and having a sick child to look after too. I've always been a worrier but since the mmc this year I am ridiculously worried about almost everything. Our dog has been poorly this weekend (vomiting) and I'm beside myself with worry and had a proper mini meltdown this afternoon on DH. It just feels like with the constant stress and worry about the pregnancy on high 100% of the time, the moment something else happens, no matter how small, it tips me over the edge and I can't cope. Is it just me?! I just don't feel like the same person anymore

These days when my DD is I'll I forget about newbie... DD is my priority...
We had her being sick 3 times in the night and I slept 4 hours probably.
Then she napped 1 to 4 but perked up later, ate dinner and seems fine, although isn't going to sleep easily now...
Fingers crossed she will be OK for nursery tomorrow...
