Jan 2016 #4 - heading for the end of the 1st trimester with dating scans and wacky dreams

[OTheHugeManatee]

New thread! Previous one here.

Scan today at fetal medicine centre. 8.3 days but measured at only 7.5 mm and no detectable heartbeat. Back to the drawing board.
Good luck to all of you with your pregnancies. Hopefully back on another month of 2016 board, unless the 1 percent chance of all being ok is present (v unlikely...)

Oh I'm so sorry Billi, how wpreying and heartbreaking.

Did they say what the next step is? Are you being re-scanned in case all is okay?

Sorry that was meant to say worrying.

Oh billi so sorry to hear that I hope you're okay and truly hope you're back on an antenatal thread before long xx

Thanks. Have booking appt today so will work out what to do . And take my woes to another place, unless, unless ..

billi I'm really sorry to hear that, if you don't mind me asking, was there anything that promoted you to have an early scan?

billi so sorry, I hope things are ok for you.

thanks looking and brickie mine was 6! I live in North devon so not much traffic/pollution etc. I'm off to buy a monitor today! She did say that her machine needed calibrating though

Billi is there any chance that your dates might be out? Crossing everything for you for a good outcome.

Thinking of you billi and hoping for a good outcome. But hope you have a good support system IRL.
Let us know how you get on.

Aw billi thinking of you hope you have lots of RL support

Gah woke up this morning to some brownish bleeding. Now horribly anxious. Have an appt at 11.10 to see someone at the local surgery but just want everything to be ok.

So the surgery didn't seem to know much of anything. Apparently the midwife only comes once a fortnight (I notified them 5 weeks ago) and it's all up to her, but we won't give you her number, you just have to have blind faith in us. I'm paraphrasing of course.

In the end I rang my local hospital and got put through to the maternity department. They did deem me responsible enough to have their phone number so I have a point of contact. Hurrah! The lady was, to be fair, super nice and helpful. She is clearly used to dealing with highly-strung, pregnant hormonal, ladies. I registered directly with them, and they'll ring me back within 48 hours to book appointment. Also, it was the first time a medical professional has actually asked me how I feel, which was nice!

I feel a lot better.

manatee I have everything crossed for you that it is all okay. pls let us know how it goes.

poe good work! I wonder how often first timers in your area get completely forgotten about?!

billi so sorry - really hoping things work out but thoughts with you if they don't.

manatee I have every day spotting and early scan reassured that this is 'my normal', fingers crossed for you.

poe good work! I bypassed my local GP completely - self referral all the way! Glad you have some progress. You should get an appt in ASAP xx

billi thinking of you
Thinking of you mantee let us know how you get on
Glad you are getting some were edgar

So sorry billi, thinking of you. Let us know how you get on.

Manatee rally hope all is well, keep us posted.

Well done for getting somewhere Edgar, bet that's a relief!!

Thinking of you Billi, so sorry Hugs to you and your OH.

Manatee Let us know how you get on at your appt, hopefully it's nothing but can imagine how anxious you are. Fingers and toes crossed for you!

Well done Poe, I've learned the hard way that it actually pays to be proactive and a bit pushy to get what you need during pregnancy - scans, appointments etc. Some GPs are just so busy these days that your details/notes/appts can sometimes get lost.

STATS UPDATE

Let me know if you need anything added.

Teenie could you update for me please? I did try but it wouldn't let me edit.

I have 1DC, had 1 miscarriage, and 12 week scan is booked for 1st July.

Thanks

No probs impatiently that's you updated!

billi hoping that all works out ok, and thinking of you either way

manatee keeping my fingers crossed for your appointment, hopefully they will scan you to put your mind at rest

edgar right you have officially inspired me - am off to dig out direct antenatal number and will phone them direct. I hope I speak to someone useful! And it is weird isn't it, how many medical people don't even ask how you are feeling? It is such a little thing, but means a lot to us pregnant hormonal sicky messes

Talking of sicky messes I'm back at work today and feeling the sickest I've felt for a while, having had a few good days (apart from the tiredness). There seems to be nothing for it apart from eating constantly - have had Weetabix, crackers and cheese on toast so far this morning already!

I hope everyone else is OK this morning - I was saying to dh last night that it is so comforting having you lovely ladies - makes me feel like I'm not totally alone feeling like this

teenie some updates from me;

31, London, first pregnancy, early scan 10th June, 12w scan 18th July!

Xxx

teenie updates from me - early scans on 1 June, 12 June and one booked for 22 June - still no 12 week scan or booking date yet.

I had to leave message on the maternity line, so hopefully they will call me back today. Fingers crossed!

Teenie could you update me, please?
Now due 22nd Jan. Scan date is 15th July

Fingers crossed for Billi and Manatee

I'm so sorry to hear Billi

manatee Sorry you are worrying, hope everything is ok.

Edgar Glad you got somewhere but what a hassle!

No sex drive here at all although I seem to have some horny dreams. Maybe my libido has buggered off into my subconscious.

Sorry for lack of updates btw, I did a lovely long post the other day, checking in on lots of you but I just did preview and didn't post so I couldn't bear re typing it all! X
