Somersetsinger that's exactly what we have done. DS started his funded hours this month, but we are still saving the maximum child care vouchers so we have a stash once this one needs to start nursery. There is always a way of getting by.

Lovely scan picture babydreaming

@babydreaming: that’s a lovely little picture

@kathrynalicem : I’m so sorry that you’re having to go through this :(

Welcome to all the newbies :)

Touching wood, everything is looking a little brighter and I’ve stopped bleeding but just have a little cramp. Please keep thinking sticky thoughts

Lovely scan phone babydreaming and very reassuring on the symptoms front too!

I'm still feeling sick and DH says I'm pretty pale at times but I've not been sick since last Friday which has been worrying me a lot. Mostly I've just aversions to things though, can't hack the idea of tea or coffee at present!

My maternity package is not bad, I get full pay and benefits for 5 months and then 4 months at statutory - plus I keep my car allowance for the full 9 months which is £450 a month. We had been saving towards IVF when we fell pregnant though so happily we've got savings to use.
My work does childcare vouchers too so will have to find out how that works!

Early scan on Saturday - really hope everything is OK!

Was sent to EPAC today as a precaution... was told my baby has stopped growing and there's no heartbeat...

Im devastated but a small part of me holds out hope for next week when I return to check. This happened to a friend and she was later told they got it wrong.

💔

@Lphil93 oh Hun, so so sorry to hear this. Sending you positive vibes and hand holding 🤝

Oh @Lphil93 I'm so sorry. Thinking of you. xx

@Lphil93 so sorry to hear that

@Lphil93 how devastating, so sorry to hear this. Hand holding 🤝

@Lphil93 so sorry. Thinking of you x

@Lphil93 so sorry to hear that. Hope you are ok and things turn out ok.

@Lphil93 so sorry to hear that :( am holding out for hope they have it wrong x

Got dominoes for tea... treating myself for putting up with this nausea lol don’t worry have eaten relatively healthy!

Oh no lphil
You are in my thoughts

@Lphil93 I am so sorry to hear your sad news. We are all here for you if you need to talk

Does anyone think it would be worth going private to check? Xx

@Lphil93 I would do whatever makes you feel somewhat better and if that's another opinion we'll then that's what you should do. Such a shit situation

@Lphil93 I agree, I think you have to do whatever your heart tells you. But either way, it sounds like they want to see you again next week so you'll get a follow up

@WaitingforToto I'm worrying about nursery fees too. I'll just be getting maternity allowance as I'm doing back to back mat leaves, plus I want my 7mth old to go to nursery a couple of days a week from about June/July so will have to pay for that whilst on mat allowance. Not quite how sure we will manage but I'm sure we will. Somehow.

@Babydreaming I'm so jealous of your early scan! I've got my early one in 2 weeks

@Lphil93 so sorry to hear that. 🤞🏻for your next scan.

I've also got my 12w scan date through for 6th Feb when I think I'll be 12w +2

Lphil Sorry you’re facing uncertainty. I can’t see your stats on the list. Do you know when your LMP was? How long your cycles were? When you ovulated? Where they thought the baby was measuring? Was there a sac? A fetal pole?
Was the scan internal? I think scans can be as much as 5 days out early on. I’m glad they’re getting you back for another check.
In terms of a private scan, I guess that would depend how certain you were of your dates and whether or not you feel you can hang on for another week.
Sending you lots of strength.

@Whichoneisit I'm nearly 100% sure on dates. I went for a scan private at 7 weeks... everything was progressing normal with a strong heartbeat. I had both US and transvaginal scans on NHS today and at first they couldn't even find the baby...

@Whichoneisit they confirmed there was a baby but couldn't hear heartbeat. I've read stories of people who said their placenta was blocking the heartbeat....

That must have been worrying for you. Was the person a trainee? Did they do any measurements?

@lphil93: I’m so sorry. I really hope they’re wrong. If they’re going to scan anyway, Id be tempted to wait but personally I’m not sure I could wait and would possibly pay for a private scan. Have your pregnancy symptoms abated or are they still there? That’s what I was told as an indication for miscarriage.

I’ve had no bleeding today but the nausea has been insane 🤢🤢

Lphil93: where was the baby? The placenta blocking is only really if the baby is planted on the back wall (so not front facing). They struggle to size mine every time as little bean is stuck at the back

@Lphil93 I think I recall you saying a little while back you were 9 weeks, did they tell you how close the baby was to where you thought? What led you to go to the EPU?

Thinking of you @Lphil93 I hope you get some more positive news soon. Have the extra scan if it will help your peace of mind, the stress of not knowing will do you no good at all xx
