Congrats sparkle sounds like you have a lively one there!

Jackiebrambles · 16/12/2014 11:40

Yay congrats Sparkle! Grin

Tryingreallyhard84 · 16/12/2014 11:44

Woo! Yay sparkle. X

Glad your scan went well sparkle Smile

I had my cervical scan today and it was fine. Cervix measuring 3.3cm, they are happy as long as it is above 2.5cm. Couldn't get into the right angle to see baby clearly, but we did see some limbs waving around and heard the heartbeat :) feeling really happy now.

Glad your scans went well OTS and Sparkle.

Anyone else still struggling to believe they're pregnant? We've had a scan, I had loads of nausea, we've told all our friends and family, and Facebook too. I'm still struggling to get my head around it all. Maybe I'm just distracted - I've only been back at work a month, DD and DH have been poorly, and there's Christmas too. This feels very different to my last pregnancy, but I suppose bc I'm still bf I haven't had a break, so not much has really changed.

Sorry for the self indulgent moan. I think once I feel baby kicking it'll be more real.

Tryingreallyhard84 · 16/12/2014 13:36

anything - I feel the same. can't get it in my head that I am pregnant. I suppose it's a busy time of year so that all impacts on it.

AnythingNotEverything · 16/12/2014 14:09

Thanks Trying. I don't want to be worrying that i'm heading for not bonding with the baby or some such nonsense! We also didn't allow ourselves to think it would happen so quickly. I think in still in shock.

I think its normal to feel that at this stage. You are feeling less ill (generally!) and not really got a bump or feeling kicks.

Once you have your 20 week scan the time just absolutely flies and your bump gets out of control fairly quickly if I remember correctly!

Tranquilitybaby · 16/12/2014 15:00

Well done on the good scan results girls, so pleased for yourself,

Detective - huge hugs to you. You are doing the absolutely best you can, your children love you unconditionally - you can do this.

Hi all

I don't want to bring the thread down so I will update you and then leave the thread and the fb page. I'm afraid I didn't get good news yesterday and I'm heart broken.

They gave me an internal scan and after a few minutes looking, it became clear that the gestational sac was fully formed and the correct size but the fetus was tiny wee in the corner of it and has stopped growing at a very early stage. A mmc. The sac wasn't round anymore, and was starting to collapse, which suggests the bleeding I had on Sunday night was my body starting to realise something was wrong and was the very beginnings of a miscarriage. I started bleeding heavily about 7pm last night and over the next few days am told I will miscarry naturally. Myself and OH are feeling very numb as you can imagine. Sunday night gave us a warning that something might be up and in a way it's a good thing we went for the reassurance scan a day early so we know what was happening before the heavy bleeding started last night. We'll be ok, have both had a cry and told parents, so now just need to see out the bleeding and start fresh in the new year. Nature can be so cruel but something wasn't right and better to know at this point I think.

I'd like to thank each and every one of you for the support and daily reassuring posts over the last few months. I will really miss coming onto the June thread and seeing/hearing all about how you are and your progress. I wish you all the very best and happy healthy pregnancies. Hugs to you all, teenie. x

ots · 16/12/2014 16:15

So so sorry to hear that teenie xxx Mother nature really is a bitch. Hope you have loads of real life support, and hope you and your OH still manage to have a nice Christmas. Will be thinking of you x x x

MrsExtraOrdinary · 16/12/2014 16:17

Teenie I'm so sorry to hear your news. I'll be thinking of you in the next few days and hoping you have lots of support around you at this difficult time. Mc is devastating. I really hope you have a healthy pregnancy soon and I'll be watching out for your bfp in the new year x

Tranquilitybaby · 16/12/2014 16:23

Oh no teenie, that's heartbreaking. I feel so sorry for you. I hope you will be ok over the next few days. Will be thinking of you x.

Chookford · 16/12/2014 16:26

teenie I am so very sorry to hear your news, life can really be a bitch sometimes. Take time to grieve and hope you have lots and lots of support will be thinking of you and praying you have some good news in the not too distant future x

newbie6 · 16/12/2014 16:29

I'm so sorry teenie, as you say something wasn't right but nature is still very painful. Having suffered a miscarriage I know how hard it is and I hope you and DH take lots of care of each other. I hope when the time is right for you that your next pregnancy is a smooth one, big hugs xxx

cuphat · 16/12/2014 16:34

jazzyjenbo · 16/12/2014 18:37

Teenie, my heart truly goes out to you. This was me back in January and the next few weeks are a blur but rest assured the pain will subside but you will never ever forget ur little lost one...always a junebug x x x

I stayed on the august fb group i was part of but hid it... When i had my 12 week scan i posted on there aswell to let them know what had become of me. I really hope to see your name again sometime next year x x

Sparkle - fantastic scan! Sounds like you have a little handful coming your way lol! I had a similar experience when i was expecting my boy so will predict a boy for u Wink
Ots - great news on the cervix and hearing babys heartbeat, thats such a special noise isnt it.

Re: feeling pregnant, now that my symptoms have completely gone and i have a non existent bump at 16+2 i sometimes wonder whats actually going on in there! I feel the occasional movement but not a proper kick and my mw is convinced i have an anterior placenta (which would account for the limp i have developed with a trapped nerve)... But they didnt mention placenta at 12 week scan.
I def got lots bigger after 20 weeks last time so role on mid-jan (when i can also put into action operation mat allowance and decide when i'm finishing work)!!
