October 2016. Thread 3 - Booking In and Dating Scans!

[leoniethelioness]

I thought I'd start a new thread now we'be reached 1,000 posts on the last one!

My midwife told me any uti definitely has to be treated because it can irritate the uterus.

9+6 today. I'm heartily sick of the nausea, even though I'm fully aware that others have it much worse than me. Had my booking in appointment last week, so I'm waiting for my scan date with bated breath!

Thanks Fuzzy and Juliette!

Yay I finally got a scan date for next Thursday! I called up today as I hadn't heard anything and apparently I wasn't even on the system yet so its a good job I called! Can't wait to see the little bean and check everything is ok and finally be able to publicly talk about it - particularly as I could pass for 5 months pregnant already I'm sure!

Julieelte - I was merrily ignoring my uti - I have a uti when ever I so much as breath but still stupid - until I read that increases your risk of miscarriage. Off to the doctors for me to take a whole load of antibiotics to which I am now resistant!

I had a UTI which was uncovered by my urine test at my booking in appointment I had no clue I went to Dr and had anti-biotics and follow up showed it had cleared but now I am really paranoid about another one as in theory wont have another urine test until 15/16 weeks.

I have just seen on the old thread it is still allowing new posts and bananafish has posted on it this morning to say she has had a MMC. Not sure if she will come on here to tell us as she might think she already has .........if you do come on so so sorry bananafish :-(

Well my good news is sickness and heartburn is tailing off...not gone but definitely improving, but rather crappily I have been getting really bad cramping and pressure. The first trimester is seriously awful. If men had to go through this they would not have to go to work, I swear it. I have had my booking in...and yes, they had lost my paperwork after I was worried this was the case,( good job I kept ringing them) and happily I am low risk and she's happy for me to home birth. Has anyone else started thinking about their birthing options? I am thinking way ahead, and dreaming of maternity leave already!

Oh no! Bananafish, if you're still on here, I'm so sorry.

I can't even imagine how you're feeling. I can't do anything I know, but I'm thinking about you and I'm so so sorry

Figgy, thanks for letting us know. I hadn't been checking the old thread. Such horrible news

Banana I'm so sorry for your loss. I had an MMC too at 8w last year and I know how hard it can be. Look after yourself.

In fact I'm at 8w again now, it's like I'm at crunch time.

Has anyone else had any of these bugs that have been going round? I've been poorly since Saturday with sore throat and headache. I've also had a temperature, which is really worrying me. We got a digital thermometer which showed my highest reading as 37.6oC but it also reckons my husband is hypothermic! Bit inconclusive really.

Also wondering if anyone else has been given Emma's Diary? We get it at our first appointment, it has lots of vouchers and a fictional diary of a pregnant girl. Quite fun!

Oh god, just read bananafish' post on the other thread. How awful. I can't reply on there, so if you see this, I am so so sorry for you. Sending lots of love xxx

Yeh I got the Emmas diary - we had bounty packs last time but have moved since. I read the whole diary in one go.

So sorry to hear the sad news about Bananas scan. Very sad.

Still no scan date here, and it's been 2 weeks since mw appointment. Will give it another day or so then start chasing them. I'm 9+4 now, and feeling a bit more human - less sick by far although still tired by the evenings. Have just come back from a gorgeous walk with dh and dd in the sun. Slightly alarmed to discover how much rounder I am, when I put the sling on to carry tired toddler, there was much buckle loosening required. Not quite so svelte as I was first time round .

So sorry banana if you're reading.

I've now managed to rearrange my scan for the 14th April, so not quite so long to wait. Still feels like an age though. I'm also far more anxious this time around - with DS I was quite relaxed and went with the flow, this time I'm terrified of miscarriage or something being wrong. I don't know if this is because I've convinced myself that no one can be this lucky - with both DS and this time we've conceived first month of trying, and I can't help but feel I don't deserve it.

It doesn't help that I'm a hormonal mess and the nausea is bad every afternoon and gets gradually worse through the evening.

Sorry for the self-pitying ramble.

Hope everyone else is good. In work so will catch up with the thread this evening.

Dd1 has a raging temperature and is feeling generally rubbish. Really worried she has something nasty that might effect the baby like scarlet fever. And feeling sorry for dd1 of course.

I'm exactly 11w today and finally got my scan date. It's in the easter holidays so no time off work boo but it does mean I don't have to tell anyone at work until after the scan.

Oh Bananafish, I'm so very, very sorry. Thinking of you xx

Bananafish I don't know if you'll come on this thread but I am so so very sorry for your loss. I really hope you have a lot of support. So sorry.

So sorry banana. Hope you have lots of RL support for the coming days and weeks. Be kind to yourself.

I crashed my car this morning. After an age say in A&E they confirmed that I was okay. Can't bring scan forward before when it's booked in tomorrow anyway but they also can't see any reason to be worried. I am stressing like mad about it though and dreading something being wrong. Although unlikely to be caused by the crash I'll never forgive myself.

That should say after staying ages in A&E!

Similie oh gosh, sorry to hear about your crash!! I think the baby is pretty well protected so I'm sure it will be ok. Totally understand why you'd be worried though, I worry about everything at the moment! I hope everything goes well with your scan tomorrow.

Hey everyone.

So so sorry banana.

Sorry ladies been rubbish at posting. Will try and keep up. Xxx

Banana I'm so so so sorry. Xxxxx

Thanks ladies hadn't seen the new thread and thought it was quiet because you'd all decamped to FB.

Many thanks for all your messages of support. It means a lot.

10w scan this morning showed our baby had gone. Missed miscarriage

Saw a beautiful heartbeat at 7+1 and 8+5 but at 10w scan today baby only measured 9+3 so it died mid/late last week. Utterly heartbroken.

Dr got me booked in as an emergency day case and did the ERPC early evening. Got his anaesthetist in specially. It's done. I'm home now.

Having the tissue testing done on the 'products of conception' to see if that will give us any answers, find out results and next steps in a few weeks when I see consultant for follow up

Thanks all. Will leave you ladies and wishing you godspeed for happy and healthy pregnancies. Xxx

So sorry banana, I'm not sure I have the right words. So sad. Take care.
It sounds like the hospital took good care of you. Hope you have lots of RL support at home.

Thanks to those who reassured me about my scan appointment at 13+3 not being too late for screenings. I've got everything crossed my DH will be able to come with me. Banana's news really brings home the fact that anything can happen.

I'm trying to stay positive and eating mounds of salt and vinegar crisps.

simile hope your scan goes ok today.

banana not sure I have words either, other than to say I'm very sorry.

Kent NHS seem to be extraordinarily efficient: I had my booking in on Thursday and got my scan letter in the post yesterday. 7 April: I'll be 13+2 (hopefully!).

banana lots of love. mc is the pits. So glad to read though that the hospital have taken good care of you. Buckle up for the most mixed emotion ride over the next week/month and beyond....I recommend lots of chocolate, wine and Netflix

in the last 24hrs I have lost my cash card and my buss pass...think my sanity is next. Debating on whether I'm actually safe to be at work!!
