Sorry to hear that foetus. Take care of yourself. Giving u lots of hugs x

So sorry foetus. Thinking of you. We're all here for you xx xx

So sorry Foetus xxx

silver I feel like this too, only my dh knows but at least he is here. Do you have a friend or family member you can confide in? My symptoms are sporadic and sometimes I wonder if I have any at all. With my first PG they were "steady" and I definitely don't recall this level of angst. I still don't have scan date but have first mw appointment today so really hoping she can offer some reassurance. I had a quick scan 10 days ago and even though there was a hearbeat then I am still worried. Hopefully if I can at least have a date for scan I can start counting down the days....feel in complete limbo atm

Sorry to hear your news foetus Take care

Welcome to the newcomers

Tori glad to hear things went well.

silver everything really eased off for me last time around 9-10 weeks, but all was well and have a rowdy toddler to show for it now Fingers crossed all's well for you too.

No such luck this time. Think I've caught DD's cold as running a temp plus ms ongoing so calling in sick today. So fed up! And feel like a rubbish mum at the moment as I don't feel I have the energy to spend on DD Feeling very sorry for myself.

Sorry to hear your sad news Foetus xx

So sorry foetus, thinking of you xx

Welcome to the newcomers x

Anyone else got horrible skin? Mines gone all greasy with outbursts of spots :( x

I'm so sorry foetus, take care of yourself and I hope you get to ride one of the buses soon.

My skin has form for going hideous during pregnancy, last time I ended up with rosacea so badly my skin was a mass of open sores and dry flaking skin that took a good several months of antibiotics postnatally to clear up.

This time I have preempted it happening and I slather E45 cream on daily, it seems to be alright so far (fingers crossed) if a little dry.

I am so sorry foetus xXx

And thank you Kitty x

Good luck for all those getting scans today.

Another one out.

Had some spotting and scan at epu and they can't find a heartbeat.

Had a mc before but it was spontaneous. Missed mc seem crueler.

Back for another scan on Friday to confirm.

Good luck everyone else.

So sorry Quinandthem, take care xx

So sorry Quin x

So sorry to hear your news quin and foetus :(

Sat in the hairdressers with the smell of hair dye making me feel sick. I don't personally think there is any problem with hair dye while pregnant but the smell is killing me!

Nice to escape the office for a bit. Firstly I'm embarrassed as I've had two very graphic and erotic dreams about someone who sits near me and I keep getting flustered when I see him. And secondly because they want us to go and volunteer to do Ebola screening at heathrow (I work in immigration) which I don't fancy at the moment!!

So sorry for your news quin and foetus

My post is going to seem very bad timing and i'm sorry if it upsets any of those going through losses at the moment, i am lighting a candle tomorrow night at the end of baby loss awareness week to remember my lost baby, i'll think of all of yours aswell

So so pleased to share with you the first picture of my new little bean!!! Approx 7+1 but hard to measure, edd 1st june 2015, good strong heartbeat seen. Thanks for the support, hope i can stay balancing on may and june boards x x x

Marking a place on the new thread :)

Sorry to hear about all the losses, my thoughts are with you all x

Didn't post much on the old thread because I have Hyperemesis and have been living in a sickly haze of misery.

Quinn & Feotus I'm so so sorry for you. It's such an awful exeperience, so hope you're being taken care of in RL. Xxx

I also hope it's not insensitive of me to post, but I'm just back from my scan & it's good news. Bean is measuring at 9 exactly. I had thought 9+2 so I'm sure I'll worry/over analyse about those two days later, but for now we saw a strong heartbeat & a very active bean. Sometimes we could make out the head & body but the picture they printed for us is just a blob. I was so so nervous before hand, & am now exhausted, think I need a nap.

Congrats jazzy xxx

So sorry quin :(

Congrats mslad and jazzy. 1st of june is a good due date jazzy thats my birthday :D

Cant stop eating cakes n sweet stuff. Going to end up gaining 5st lol. Just getting ready for college x

I don't know what's wrong with me today, I have convinced myself that come next Tuesday when I have my combined test ad scan I'll find a beanie with no heartbeat

I have been in the loo checking for bleeding every so often after seeing what I thought looked like a tiny pink tinge on my underwear, nothing at all when I wipe though (apologies for the tmi) and I have also convinced myself since then that my back is crampy.

I googled (I know, I know) and just keep finding stories of ladies who have seen a healthy HB and baby at 8 weeks only to find the baby had died by the 12 week scan, I'm 10+ 6 today and still having nausea and sickness (this morning was the last time I was sick)

I hate how my head likes to take a bad thought and run with it!

tits I have been having similar feelings and googling sessions.
I think being on these threads is absolutely invaluable support but if you weren't on them, you wouldn't be witnessing so many losses. I think this leads to the extra worry and panic. We want to support those with losses of course but it's hard to then not worry about your own pregnancy.

It's also something that's completely out of our control which is always scary. I have little symptoms which are worrying me no end. Try remember that chances are, you will have a healthy pregnancy. I understand how difficult it is though.

I know, (thanks for the reply though!) I need to strap on my sensible head and carry on as normal, what will be will be and even it is bad news on Tuesday (which statistically it's not likely to be) there is nothing anyone can do about it.

I definitely think it's a bubble bath and early night tonight for me. I've been busy today moving things around the house and I had a particularly hard session with my counsellor this morning, hopefully it's just warn me out a bit, a good night sleep should improve matters I hope.

Quin and foetus Please know that I am thinking about you both and am so sorry you are going through hell. Later this evening I am going to light a candle for pregnancy loss day (not sure if it is the actual name) and think of my angel baby and all of the losses suffered by all of you.

Beautiful scan pic jazzy and do stay on both buses!

So pleased about your news as well Mslad Hope you enjoy your well deserved nap!

Tits I hear you! Bloody frightening seeing any kind of spots when on the loo that I am surprised I still manage to "go" some days! Haribo is spot on. We can count down the days to next scans together!

Your scan is the day after mine I think Kitty, it seems like such a long time away, even though it's only a matter of a week.

It makes it worse for me when I mention having and pain or anything to DP he starts firing questions at me

"is it the same as last time.?!" (His way of asking if I'm miss carrying)
"Is it a muscular pain or other?"

He means well, he was gutted last time but really I'd just like him to take the reins around the house and let me rest.

Tits - are you me???

I am also 10+6 today and my symptom/knicker watching/boob probing etc is out of control!
My husband has also been exactly the same as yours with every wee ache and pain. I've been having bad lower back pain but I think it's because my new couch is rubbish!
My 12 week scan isn't until the 24th and although I had a scan at 8 weeks, the horror stories haunt me. Couldn't deal with another MMC this year.
Thank you for your post - it's nice knowing I'm not alone.

I feel your scan waiting pain, mine isn't until 7th November and I will be nearly 14 weeks then by my calculations. Even though I saw my baby at six weeks I don't feel like it's real yet... hurry up time!
