Is it just me who feels really bloated? I'm convinced my old bump has already popped out a bit. DH asked if I was sure I'm only 4+4.

Brummiegirl15 · 01/12/2014 20:50

Aaahhh more newbies, hello all!!!

I'm 4+3 and I feel so sick tonight, I feel utterly miserable :-(

Got my gps appointment tomorrow which I'm relieved about as I just need to get it recorded in case anything happens. I know I'm probably being quite negative but am so fearful.

Feeling sick is good Brummie. I'm 5 weeks and not sick yet and v scared. The pregnancy I lost I wasn't sick with and the previous 2 (which were successful) I was very sick with, but I can't for the life of me remember when it was I started feeling nauseous.

Mummytogoldie · 01/12/2014 21:43

I have started bleeding and have a pain in my left side, I think I may be miscarrying :(

Brummiegirl15 · 01/12/2014 22:05

Thanks stuffed owl after 2, I'm just so scared so I think anything is making me feel more scared. But rational side knows that sick is good.

Goldie I'm so sorry. Although bleeding doesn't always mean mc but I understand your fear. Big hugs

Mummytogoldie · 01/12/2014 22:35

I know bruummie, I have had 2 miscarriages before. I am still bleeding and low backache so think I am :( I have an early scan booked for Friday, will ring them tomorrow and see if they can bring it forward :( just feel so helpless. Dp is away tonight to :(

StuffedOwl · 02/12/2014 08:24

Oh goldie. Look after yourself today. Try not to think anything until you've had a scan

Guyropes · 02/12/2014 09:23

Goldie, so sorry to hear that, and that you're alone. Hope dp is back soon to give you some tlc, sounds like you need it.

Mummytogoldie · 02/12/2014 09:50

The bleeding has got heavier and bad low back ache, they have moved scan forward till tomorrow but think I know what it will show :( Do not.due back till 10 tonight but at least the kids a few e at school so I can rest till 3 . Just feel so sad and helpless

birchwoods · 02/12/2014 11:40

So sorry to hear this Goldie. Keeping my FX for you.

IceLemonGin · 02/12/2014 12:03

I'm so sorry Goldie, I have crossed my fingers for you. Can't imagine how worried you are.

nannynome · 02/12/2014 12:57

Sorry Goldie Sad thinking of you and crossing fingers

RubMyLamp · 02/12/2014 14:57

I also have to bow out Sad bleeding and cramping started around 10pm, I didn't think much of it has this a lot during first trimester of second pregnancy, but woke up at 4am with blood all over my legs and lots of cramping, dashed to the toilet and... Well you know the rest. GP confirmed MC this morning.

Flowers To everyone else going through this, I am so dazed by it, no history of MC for me or any other of the other many women in my family so don't really have anyone to turn to who understands.

Cake Good luck to everyone else and fingers crossed for sticky babies for you.

StuffedOwl · 02/12/2014 15:16

RubMyLamp my heart goes out to you, please look on the miscarriage boards for help, they helped me lots earlier this year.

There's no set way to cope, do what you need to to get through Flowers

gakay · 02/12/2014 15:17

goldie and rub I'm so sorry to hear about what you two are going through. I know it must be terrible and heartbreaking. Having been through it just over a month ago I know it's really hard. I couldn't believe how painful I felt when I had only known about the pg for such a short time. I was wondering what's wrong with me and what have I done wrong. I got really angry how other people seem to get on with their pg fine with no problems at all. What helped me was when I learnt that it's actually very very common to miscarry and it happens to lots of women but they just don't talk about it. And it's nature doing its thing selecting the fit and healthy babies for us. It wasn't until I told my friends about my mc that I realised many of them have been through it too. They just didn't talk about it. I wish they did then I wouldn't have felt so alone and abnormal.

Flowers I hope you get all the support you need and remember to look after yourself.

Brummiegirl15 · 02/12/2014 16:07

Goldie and Rub I'm thinking of you both. Mine were at 5 weeks and 9 weeks earlier this year so feel your pain.

I also was very open about my mc's and found so many other people had them too. I found talking about it helped the isolation and was a real comfort.

Please do try the miscarriage boards. TTC after mc on the conception has been a god send to me in the past and both Daisy and I have come from there. It's worth popping on to have a read. So many supportive lovely ladies

daisysunshine2 · 02/12/2014 17:51

goldie and rub thinking of you and so sorry this is happening :( the TTC after mc thread is amazing, even if youre not ready to TTC again it's very supportive and the ladies are lovely, as brunmie said were both from there and I still pop back now Flowers for you both x

otter32 · 02/12/2014 18:16

So so sorry goldie and rub. Sending big hugs.

Daveface · 02/12/2014 18:50

So sad to hear your news :(

Stay strong x

Glitterrascal · 02/12/2014 19:43

Goldie and rub...I really am so sorry to hear what you're both going through. I feel so naive about this whole pregnancy "thing"...It barely crossed my mind pre pregnancy that the early stages could be so nerve wracking, I've always just assumed it's the labour that is the most terrifying part. Yet all I seem to have done since getting my BFP is fret about the future (even though I can't pinpoint why) and panic over every ache I feel! It's tough going so I can't imagine how you are both feeling. Huge loving thoughts to both of you this evening ??xxx

iamhopeful · 02/12/2014 20:10

Glitterrascal, you summed up my thoughts exactly, despite having a lovely daughter already, I had forgotten the worry and endless thoughts about what might go wrong, I hope that Goldie and Rub you both have wonderful people at home to support you x

Mummytogoldie · 02/12/2014 23:07

Sorry to hear about your loss rub :( I have spent the afternoon in hospital as bleeding and pain worsened, unfortunately urine pregnancy test at hospital was negative, bloods still positive but said Will be going down. I have a scan tomorrow to confirm miscarriage :(

IceLemonGin · 03/12/2014 09:11

I'm so sorry Goldie and Rub. I have no words. I hope you both have the support you need and that you look after yourselves Flowers

Like others have said, despite TTC for a long time, I never realised or even thought about how scary and worrying the first few weeks are.

Shantotto · 03/12/2014 09:34

So so sorry goldie and rub, take care of yourselves Flowers

It's so stressful worrying about everything being ok, keep thinking to myself what if I'm not pregnant anymore?! Which is so silly I just can't be calm about it at all.

Today I've started having period pain style cramps in my starch and back bit they aren't too bad, and no bleeding so hoping this is normal.

Booked into an early scan on 19th so that should hopefully calm me down a little if it's all ok.

gakay · 03/12/2014 10:30

shantotto so you've decided to have your scan in London instead? Mine is also on the 19th. Fingers crossed that everything will be ok.

Am also very worried that I might not be pg anymore. Keep checking if my boobs are still sore - that is the only symptom I've got. Part of me is wishing to get morning sickness to reassure me but am sure will regret this when it finally kicks in.
