June 2010? Goodness am I the first!

[ScaredOfEverything]

Hello everyone...

Had a positive test this morning, suspect due on 3rd June. Gulp! Very surprised as DD is only 9 months and it took me 2 years to conceive the first time around.

Anyone here to join teh long wait?

XX scared

Hello Everyone, Thank you for all your messages.

I've just got back from the hospital. I was kept in overnight because they are concerned that Im having an eptopic pregnancy. It took them 14 attempts to draw blood, they ended up getting the anethatist to do it, and it still took him 3 attempts. Anyhow they got blood in the end. The results came back this morning that my HCG levels are lower than they should be, they think that Im either not as far gone as I should be for my dates or that the pregnancy is failing again. They've let me out, but if the pain increases or I get some more bleeding then I have to go back. They still havent ruled out eptopic, but said it would be too early to tell, as possibly to early for a scan. I have to go back 2moro morning for more blood tests and possibly a scan next week. DH couldnt get a flight back from Spain last night, but is coming back tonight so I'll have his hand to squeeze.

Dont really know what to think or do, just hopeful that 2moro brings some positive news..

Ladyem,

so sorry you are having such an awful time, and not having DH with you must be very hard. In the meantime, we're all here for you, if talking helps.

I haven't been here for quite a while and just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear your news, scrappy, and Ladyem I do hope you get better news after the blood tests and scan. It must be such a diffcult time.

I'm not really getting much in the way of symptoms at the moment - don't know whether to be grateful or worried. I suppose all we can do is wait and see.

I also had a completely unhelpful conversation with my GP this morning about whether or not I should be having the swine flu vaccination - I feel none the wiser as a result. Anyone else had any useful guidance?

LadyEm I'm so sorry you had such a rough time at the hospital and that you're left not knowing. Glad your DH is on the way home and I hope things work out and you're just a little way behind on your dates. Thinking of you.

Ladyem you poor thing - how awful being in hospital and people prodding you for blood and just not knowing what's going on. So pleased to hear your dh is on his way home - at least you won't be dealing with it alone. I really really hope all is okay & you do get a scan tomorrow. Big hugs xxx

Sorry to hear your news scrappy take care of yourself.
Ladyemmalou hope you get better news with your next blood test and glad DH is coming back to be with you. Thinking of you.

Hope you get better news soon, LadyEm. I'm crossing everything for you.

I don't really have many symptoms either, beonit. Only sore breasts, but it was the same for me last time. What did your GP have to say re the vaccine? I am not sure what I think about having it.

LadyEm, I know that some of the MN regulars don't approve, but sending some at you anyway....

LittleRobbo, weird dreams - check. pumpkins - check. waking up at 3am - check. what's going on???

Off to the GP tomorrow morning for my initial 'yes, you're pregnant, which hospital would you like to go to, see you in 3 months' conversation. oddly, even though I know what to expect, i suspect that I will still feel totally let down by how mundane, boring and short the initial checkup is. I feel that something should happen to make it more real, even though I know deep down that 6+3 is far too early for anything at all.

Frustrating though, especially as time seems to be going even more slowly than the last two! I have told my mum and sister now, but since they are sworn to secrecy until the 12-ish week mark it doesn't really 'feel real' yet.

Last time my GP 'forgot' to refer me to the hospital and I only found out when I phoned to ask for my scan date when I was already 11 weeks ! 'Twas all quite stressful at the time, and I didn't get a scan until 13.5 weeks....I shall be reminding her of this tomorrow...

We're off on holiday on Friday morning for half term for 10 days, so I'm going to be offline until November. So I'm going to wish you all good vibes, non-queasy mornings and un-weird dreams without exes or pumpkins and will try to catch up when I get back (although that could be hard given how much we seem to post on here every day already!!!)

beonit I was going to ask the same thing about swine flu. I really can't make my mind up as no one seems to have a good enough for/against argument. It seems that the government/press are for all pregnant women getting it yet whenever I have spoken to anyone who works in the healthcare industry they have been against it...

I was totally against until i heard today that other european countries (with a more organized health care service - no offense to NHS ) are advising that all pregnant woman should have the jab.

What's everyone else's view? We can't have it until we're in the 2nd trimester anyway, right?

hello Lady em and scrappy so sorry to hear your news

I have not been posting as not feeling positive

went to epau this morning and saw my little baby who although growing is sadly fated not to be...

pregnancy sac was still small and was 'moving down' the uterus...

was told to go home buy big pads co codamol and get a hot water bottle

she advised me to tell my big children i am having a bad period

awful!!

very sad but being pragmatic...the care was really really good i am really confident they are doing all they can for me

not nice but hey ho i have been here before

all the best ...am nervously waiting for pain!

wish i dared 'come out'!!

i thought this bit poignant - the u/sonographer started scanning and then stopped and said - i have a lot more to do but i will tell you what i see ' its quite sad really' it was an odd thing to say but very 'human' and it made all the difference

she then showed me - my little baby with its heart still beating...

Oh dontdare I'm so sorry - is there any hope that it will be OK?

dontdare, I'm so sorry to hear your news, how very sad

oh dontdare what made you go to epu today? How did you get an early scan? I am so sorry.

Oh dear, really really sorry, dontdare. But glad that you had a human and kind technician for your scan.

dontdare - so very sorry to hear about your scan.

emmalou - hope your dh has arrived to give some support and really hope that the news tomorrow is good.

It's v sad on this thread atm

Re swine flu - don't know what to think. I spend my working days going to people's houses and working with 3-5-year-old children, and I know a couple of families i work with have recently had swine flu, so i'm high risk for catching it. I would imagine that mrsC is right though and we wouldn't be allowed it til after 12 weeks. Hmmm.

Dontdare Im sorry to hear about your scan. I hope your as ok as you can be in these sad times.

DH just rung, he has landed so should be home within the hour, thank goodness. He can see how much of a pin cushion I am.

Thanks again for your support, with hubby away I'd have been lost if I didnt have you guys around x

dontdare - feel so sad for you. Really hope that you've got some good support at home.
ladyem - heaps of good luck.

so so sorry for all the ladies going through bad times right now. I found the mc thread on here a real help when i went through my own ordeal. i hope you all can look to the future with hope.sending lots of love to you all.

No sleep for me at the mo,not due to giant killer pumpkins this time,but heart palpitations which appear around bedtime,horrible,i had them with ds2,pretty common in pg apparently. but for someone who has previously suffered with anxiety,i can think of better symptoms

So sorry to hear your news dontdare, that must be so hard to hear. How are you doing today?

Ladyemma how are you doing? Hope you'll be feeling better now your DH is home.

When you hear all these stories it just makes you think how lucky you are if you make it to full term and thats what I'll keep reminding myself of when I'm feeling sick and tired.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Its such a weird, worrying time but also cautiously exciting.

Palpitations are vile, LittleRobbo, poor you. I had them last time and it was one of the most unpleasant things I have ever experienced. Did you know they can be connected to anaemia? Might be worth asking about iron at booking in or making a doctor's appointment.

Everything seems very sad on here just now. I really hope everything goes well today Ladyem
and I am feeling so sad for you dontdare.

Hope everyone else is doing well. I really did not have any idea how difficult pregnancy would be emotionally and mentally before.

I have had hardly any pregnancy symptoms since Saturday (am 8 weeks + 1) and am trying not to worry about it too much but sometimes its hard to think about anything else.

Am so sorry for all those going through difficult or worry times.

I find this first trimester absolute torture waiting to see if all will come good. The days seem to be dragging by so slowly. I'm still only 6+5 but if feels like ages since I got the bfp. I keep nipple tweaking to check they are still sore (my only symptom) - sad isn't it!

Got a date for my Booking in Appointment. I will be 9 weeks by then. At least it won't be long after that before the first scan.

Ho hum, just have to try and keep busy in the meantime.

Take care all

Oh dear it's all so sad on here

Sending my best wishes to all those who have sadly lost their pregnancies and all those who are concerned

Sorry to hear all the sad news

ladyem thinking of you - keep us posted

I'm just having a cuppa tea before I go to drs for first visit - hoping all is going to be ok
