I haven't been here for ages but had first scan today (9 weeks yesterday) and baby is measuring small and no heartbeat detected :( I have to go back next week for another scan but am suspecting MMC at the moment :(

I'm so sorry Polly. Fingers crossed that you'll get better news at the next scan. It must be so stressful to wait.

The GP called and got me in at 11am when there was a cancellation! They've redeemed themselves slightly. Anyway ive been referred to the hospital I work at and will be sent for a dating scan.

Phew!

Sorry to hear that Polly

So sorry to hear that polly. I also have my fingers crossed for you for next week

So sorry to hear that Polly

Oh Polly, poor love. Sending hugs your way

Thanks. Feeling very sad and bleak right now :(

So so sorry Polly. I really hope there's better news for you

Sorry to hear that polly 💐 Are there any chances or is this the final word?

It's hard to tell really as I live in China and I don't have as much confidence in the system (see my other thread in Pregnancy for details if you're interested) but the doctor didn't seem very hopeful :(

Socially great to hear of scan, at least it's reassurance, I had my booking in appointment today midwife was lovely - she couldnt do my bloods, apparently I have small veins, which means I needs to go back next week

Oh Polly; what a difficult time for you. Sending love.

I'm so sorry, Polly. Sending hugs x

Thinking of you Polly

Sorry to hear your update Polly, fingers crossed for you that it isn't what you think

Sorry to hear that, Polly.

So sorry polly, be kind to yourself

Hi guys can i join also ? I am on the september group as well but EDD 29/09/17 as it stands and all going well. This will be our first so excited and cautious. Got a scan on friday when i am7 weeks so i am just praying all is well so far and wee see wee beans heartbeat and yolk sac xx

sorry i meant 29/08 !

Sorry to hear that polly. It's so hard when you're living abroad to be sure you're getting the right info isn't it. Sending hope your way...

I'm currently stuck in bed with tonsillitis Been this way for 4 days with no sign of getting better. And I know that little bean is taking all of the goodness I eat (rightly so) which will mean recovering will take even longer!
I'm moving back to the uk in two weeks when I'll be 9 weeks. Do you think I should phone ahead to try to get a midwife app booked in?

Rocco I hope you feel better soon! It's much harder to get over things when your pregnant so get lots of rest and fluids. It wouldn't hurt to try to get things moving with midwives as soon as possible. If they don't want to register you now they can at least tell you what the process is so you can do it asap when you arrive in the uk.

Thanks sociallyacceptablecookie that's useful advice. I really never knew the first trimester was so hard. How people have been pregnant around me in the past without me guessing I'll never know! Hats off to all of you who already have DCs

rocco sorry to hear you are unwell. I totally agree I didn't know how hard the first tri is and have no idea have other women can a) keep the pregnancy a secret and b) do it whilst they have other dc!

I keep saying never again and everyone says you won't remember all this once the little one is here!

My symptoms aren't even the worst compared to some. I have nausea most the day and sickness as soon as my stomach feels remotely empty.

I read that your immune system is weakened to allow your body to accept the baby which is why it's harder to shake the bugs or illnesses you may pick up. Multi vitamins and fruit helped me overcome a recent dreadful cold. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope everyone else is well. polly very sorry to hear of the sad news and am maintaining a bit of hope until you say otherwise
