Wow you girls have been busy chatting today!
Hey anne in answer to your question re MMC yes I knew. The first time I was soooooo excited to be preggers then about 2 weeks in I felt like I had lost connection (yes I'm a hippy), I was almost grieving, it was so strange. Went for private scan, should have been 8 wks and it showed baby had stopped growing at 5.5, devastated. Cue phone calls to EPU who told me I prob had dates wrong etc, 2 more scans with 2 week wait in between. I knew my dates weren't wrong. Took 11 weeks to get period back after d and e then got pregnant again. I felt something was wrong, EPU wouldn't listen, private scan then the same rigmarole as before
I even had midwife cross with me for wasting their time as there was obviously nothing wrong with me! Anyway here I am now, 9 weeks preggers with 1 good scan behind me and hopefully a healthy baby in my future.
Had loads of tests done and they just put it down to bad luck and dodgy eggs coz I'm older (39 this wknd).
I wasn't going to post as didn't want to scare people but after some of you said it helped I thought I would :)
adventure, mcbaby and sonnet my heart goes out to you and all the other women who've been through it and other pregnancy issues.
For people out there worrying about it happening to you, try not to, there is nothing you can do, it is still quite rare and the most normal thing is to get pregnant and have a healthy baby.
Just remember we are women and we are built strong!!
