Someone's just started a Feb thread, we're real old hands now

BeckyBendyLegs · 23/05/2008 11:58

Hi Guys

Not good news I'm afraid. I've had the scan and they think the baby died about 5 weeks ago given its size. I had to have an internal scan, which I didn't expect. They were lovely to me and want me to go back next week for another scan but I really don't know why. They say they are 99% sure the baby has died but because of that 1% I guess they have to be sure. I know the baby has died though as there is no way I am less than 11 weeks pregnant. I'm starting to get stomach ache now as well as the bleeding and it just feels like something is pulling on my insides. I'm trying to be pragmatic about it, there must have been something wrong with the baby. They gave me photos which was very sweet because the last time it happened to me they didn't and I really regreted not having a picture. Being in the emergency GU clinic was horrible though - full of very sad looking people. I wouldn't want to wish that on anyone. Life really sucks sometimes, doesn't it?

Anyway, enough about me, I'm goinng to really miss you guys and I wish you all the very, very best with your pregnancies. I hope you don't mind if I post a message every now and then and read all your conversations. Can someone please take me off the list, I don't think I can bear to

kayzisexpecting · 23/05/2008 12:01

OH Becky I'm so so so sorry.

Of course we don't mind if you still post in here. We'd like nothing more.

Take care and look after yourself.

Oh Becky I'm so so very very sorry.

I wish I could do something or say something to make things okay and of course I can't.

I can just send you huge huge hugs and hope that you will be okay. I'm so sorry .

rosmerta · 23/05/2008 12:02

Becky, I'm so sorry , take some time for yourself & take care. We'd love to still hear from you to see how you're getting on{{hugs}}

pixsix · 23/05/2008 12:02

Becky I'm so so sorry to hear your news. I know there's nothing I can say that will make you feel better but wanted to answer your message. Take care.

Indith · 23/05/2008 12:03

Becky I'm so sorry, take good care of yourself.

Rosmerta I finish next Thursday! Until then I am still uneducated.

Hope all the rest of the scanners and spotters are ok.

I ate 3 bags of prawn crackers yesterday. I have only a bag of twigletts left and I'm not sure I want them.....

katie3677 · 23/05/2008 12:05

Becky, so, so sorry about your news. Exactly the same happened to me last Summer and while it is devastating, I am a firm believer in fate and that nature knows best. Take good care of yourselves and make sure you take some time out to grieve and put your feet up. Best wishes x

BeckyBendyLegs · 23/05/2008 12:05

You're all very kind and now making me cry big floppy tears again!

hattyyellow · 23/05/2008 12:07

Oh Becky your message made me well up

  • I'm so sorry you've had to go through this experience again.

We'll miss you .

Hope you can get some rest and quiet time over the weekend?

hotmama · 23/05/2008 12:12

Becky - I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself {{{big hug}}}

mibbes · 23/05/2008 13:04

Becky so sorry to hear your news - please stick around for as long as you want, we'd miss you if you disappeared. Look after yourself and maybe we'll see you on another AN thread when you're ready {{big hugs}}

Annagt · 23/05/2008 13:20

I'm crying here too Becky. I'm so so sorry. (hug hug hug)

InspectorGadget · 23/05/2008 13:27

Oh Becky, am so sorry for your loss, have even had a wee bubble for you.

My midwives appoint went really well, they are concerned but not overly so have booked me in for a scan at the EPU on Monday which is a huge relief. I had a terrible nights sleep last night, with horrific nightmares.

Still all clear on the knicker front although have been feeling a bit niggly. Mind you I farted like a goodun all night so may have just been wind.

Right after the midwives left this morning I burped a little sick into my mouth and had to rush to the toilet to spew so I guess thats a good sign.

The best bit about today is that the midwives were totally up for a homebirth, in fact she even said that she was off over christmas last year so would be on this year and would be delighted to come out to me at home over christmas. Which is cool as I thought I might have a fight on my hands what with it being my first.

Anyway thats all way down the line I guess, must stop getting too carried away with self and get Monday out of the way.

I've been having quite a few headaches too, and eating like a horse. After the shame of the wotsitfest have tried to be really good though and eat healthily.

EffiePerine · 23/05/2008 13:39

Becky, I am so sorry . Don't know what esle to say except take care of yourself and keep posting if you want to. We'll miss you.

Verso · 23/05/2008 13:39

becky I'm welling up too - which is highly inconvenient as I'm in an open plan office !!! So very sorry to hear your news. It's so hard and unfair. I will be thinking of you.

inspectorG really glad you are getting seen at the EPU on Monday rather than having to wait. I will have everything crossed for you.

Verso · 23/05/2008 13:40

P.S. That was meant to be a joke re the "inconvenience" but just read it back and it reads badly. Sorry!!!!

toratora · 23/05/2008 13:49

I have only posted a few times on this board, but had to say how sorry I am Becky - I had a mc in February - just make sure that you look after yourself and give yourself time to grieve your loss.

On the positive side I got pregnant 3 weeks after my mc and am now 12 weeks - I had my nuchal scan this morning.

Good luck to anyone else who has scans coming up.

BeckyBendyLegs · 23/05/2008 14:19

Verso don't worry about the inconvenience comment - I knew exactly what you meant...!

Take care all of you and HUGE THANK YOU for all your kind words and understanding. It means a lot to me and has helped me get through today.

Becky xxxx

snowwombat · 23/05/2008 16:40

becky so so so sorry, Lots of tears here for you and your DH. Sending you big hugs and just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.

chutneymary · 23/05/2008 19:25

Oh Becky, I am so very sorry to hear about your baby. Take care and we'll miss you very much. It's been lovely to share these past weeks with you. I hope you'll look in (if you can bear to, of course) and I am sending you best wishes and lots of love. Take care XXXX
