October baby bus #2

[MrsEvansAlmost]

Hello new thread to chat on as we filled up the first!!

i had an mmc toast. the support i had from the people i had told was needed and appreciated so much.

dont worry about telling people itll be fine!

Finding it really hard toast. Most of my close friends know all about my losses, and how hard a journey the last 18 months has been. Tbh I have told a couple of friends and it's iist so nice to get it out there and have the support :)
Well wait til at least 10 weeks though (I get scanned fortnightly 6-12 weeks). I think we'll take ds to 12 week one as the staff at the hospital so want to meet him lol!

Stressing out a bit here - just off the phone to the early preg unit about my pain and they have said I have to go to A&E to rule out ectopic as the pain is mainly on one side - in the car with DH now on our way to the hospital now :s

Hope you're OK, Steph. Fingers crossed for you xx

Toast, you are right about it being a roller coaster. I think it's SO hard to keep it a secret until 12 weeks. Last time, my close friends twigged when I was only about three weeks gone because I wasn't drinking on a night out. This time it's easier to keep it a secret because I work from home and no longer have a social life! But we were at a toddler group yesterday and one of the other mums told me I looked tired and said 'Have you got a bun in the oven?' I laughed it off but not very convincingly.
I think you just find your own way and tell people on a need to know basis. And it's nice to get excited! My mum and mother in law know which is great as I can moan to them about feeling rough...

Oh steph good luck I really hope it's all ok for you.

Thanks choccy and ginger. Half the time it's all so exciting and I'm jumping up and down (sometimes literally) and the rest of the time it's a big scary new experience with too much to worry about.
DH and I had planned to start ttc this year and waited until a) I'd had a potential health issue checked (all clear no problems) and b) timing was right in that DH is finishing his degree this year so will be working full time by the time baby arrives. But we literally fell pregnant within a few days of trying, and whilst we are over the moon about that, sometimes I feel like I can't keep up! Or I'm doing it all wrong already!
Sorry to all of you who have had a really difficult time of ttc, mc, and other bad stuff, I don't want to sound ungrateful.

X post, thanks gin :)

Steph I hope allies ok

Hope you're ok Steph

*all is
#iphonesareshit

Hoping everything is ok Steph and that you don't have to wait long to be seen. Thankyou for all your support last night and this morning ladies. I called the doctors and they have arranged for a midwife to call me on Monday. Unfortunately my lovely midwife who saw me for every appointment with DD has moved but I'm sure the new one will be just as nice. Those worrying about your bits after birth - everything is fine and dandy here. Stomach wise I think it's alot to do with genetics and pelvic floor exercises ( which are very important - everyone clench and release as you're reading!!)

Good luck Steph, I hope it's all ok and just digestive troubles or something.

Thinking of you steph

Hope all is ok Steph xxx

Oh steph I really hope everything is ok xx wishing you lots of luck xx

Thank you everyone - just home now and the doc doesn't think it is ectopic - I've had a scan for free fluid (blood) in the abdomen and there wasn't any but they are def sending me for early scan now just to be sure - should be in contact tomorrow. I go abroad for work on Monday so I'm worried that something could go wrong while I'm away. Fingers crossed the A&E doc is right. Thank you for the supportive messages xx

Hi all, not a big poster, but keep up with the thread everyday. Steph - sorry you're going through such a worrying time, hope everything is okay for you, everything crossed.

Have got a scan tomorrow, I'm 7 wk's today, and after a MMC last Sept I wanted some reassurance, but am just so terrified it's going to turn out like last time, with nothing but silence and a 'are you sure you've got your dates right?' from the sonographer.

Trying to be positive though... I'm one of the not-many-symptom gals, slightly bigger/sore boobs and tired, but not much else. Anyway, wish me luck ??

Sorry for everyone else that's worried too, it's such a difficult time! So many conflicting things in our heads.

Our posts crossed - that's a great first step, Steph - sounds positive! Hope the scan proves everything's well, will be thinking of you.

Good luck tomorrow steph! Glad initial assessment went well.
And good luck whoknew with your scan too. Sounds like an awful time last year. I am terrified that will happen when I get my 12wk scan, and the waiting is awful. At least only 3 1/2 weeks til I go on a little holiday and either I'll get the scan before that or at least that will take my mind off waiting and then I'll have a scan once I'm back.

Thanks Toast, and sorry, didn't mean to scare you or anyone else re the MMC story - they're pretty unusual at least, and hopefully I'll have helped bring the odds down for the group hope you get your scan sorted soon!

Great news Steph hope tey get you in today for the scan :)

Hope all good with your scan today too whoknew piccies please!!

Great news steph nhs like to cover there arses in the case of ectopic pregnancies. I know many people, including myself who has been told to go to A&E to be checked for an ectopic when experiencing pain in one side. In all cases everything was fine. They just have to he safer than sorry.

Good luck for your scan.

My sickness meds have properly kicked in now and I haven't vomited all week. Instead I have had constant crippling nausea. It feels like hell has relocated to my upper stomach. I'm having aversions to any food you can think of (except grapes, grapes are the shit) I'm just fed up of feeling crappy now and I potentially have another 20 weeks of this shit. I was very sick up to 28 weeks last time. Such fun.

On a brighter note I now have a booking in appt on march 25th. After explaining my recent MMC they agreed to let me skip the compulsory group session! Phew! The consultant at the hospital was supposed to call me this week to arrange a scan. She mentioned the dreaded 'T' word no call as of yet though.

Sorry I haven't posted much. My tablets makes me very drowsy and I struggle to focus my eyes properly. I hope everyone is feeling okay xx

7+6

just thought id send you a quick message whoknew and say good luck with your early scan. i had an mmc november last year too was awful, had booking in yesterday and was in tears going through it all.

thought they might send me for an early scan but they havent am relieved in a way. like u id be petrified going for one so i know how you feel. best of luck. if it helps i tell myself body was obviously good at carrying last time so were doing the main bit right. hope you get to see that flicker

Wishing you all the best with your scans today, Steph and Whoknew.

Hope your nausea eases a bit soon Sarky.

I got my date for the 20 week scan last night: 12th May. They seem to be planning quite far ahead here.

Sorry whoknew didn't see that you had a scan today too. I wish you luck also

I'm in the same boat, I had a MMC in December and the fell pregnant in January. My now 15mo son was conceived a mere two weeks after a miscarriage and my friend recently gave birth to a beautiful girl which she conceived two months after a 14week MMC. It brings me comfort knowing that a previous MC will not dictate how your future pregnancies turn out and I have found myself strangely un-panicked. I hope that you can seek comfort from this too.

Bloody hell. I haven't even got my first scan date through yet! Is it a very busy hospital?
