Freak out room for those newly updiffed after mc - Part V

[MummyAbroad]

Just found out you are pregnant after a previous miscarriage? There is plenty of support, hand holding and problem-shared-problem-halved going on over here. All welcome to join in.

tunnocks that doppler is worth it's weight in gold already then eh? I keep having bad dreams too - wish they'd bugger off!

As for coincidences with dates etc my EDD is 17/11/11 which is the date of my first MC - strange or what?

I've been away in London for a while and haven't checked this thread for ages. Just got Knitter's news. Knitter, I'm so sorry. I hope you and your DH are alright, loads of hugs coming your way.

It's my nuchal scan on Monday, i've been counting down the weeks. I was at a family funeral thingy in London on Wednesday and told my brothers and SILs that I was pg. Not great timing but I wanted to tell them to their faces and I won't see them for ages now I live in Scotland. I've been really looking forward to the scan but as the time gets nearer I'm getting really anxious. I'd be really surprised if I've lost the baby, my bump is growing and my symptoms are strong but after Knitter's news you never know what might happen.

I'm totally exhausted after my few days in London on my own with DS. I guess it wasn't so difficult when we lived there and when DS was in his buggy. Walking with a small-un is hard work and slow.

Wave to everyone.

collie I've managed to surpass last times mc date since I was only 6 or 7 weeks last time. I'm 8+5 today. I don't think any of the epu's open on Saturday pm and Sunday in my area. Will try and go on Monday if things don't disappear. I started to panic since I got some tummy cramps, but it turned out to be a bowel movement (tmi)

Morning ladies and I'm pleased to start Sunday off with some good news. First scan this morning and I'm measuring exactly 8w3d which is spot on with my dates and HB at 175bpm! It's the furthest we've got so all seems a bit surreal! My stomach was flipping somersaults on the way there and I practically slid to the floor with relief once I'd clambered out of the stirrups (or maybe that was too much lube on the dildocam! ) Bean did a little wiggle - not much but could just see the arm and leg buds. There was a big blobby bit at the end of bean's feet which I asked what it was and apparently it's the yolk sac - thought I knew lots about early pg - clearly not! Ob/gyn was so lovely and reassuring and I really got the feeling genuinely thrilled for us! I know we still have a few hurdles to go but I'm so relieved to have got this far.

Sorry to hear about your brown cm ninunina - fingers crossed there is no more today.

Good luck for your scan tomorrow irene - do you know how quickly you'll get the results?

Glad to hear your scan went well wiw
It must be a huge relief.

I had some more pinkish cm with smears of brown this morning. I'm really freaking out that its all over. I really hope not. Thinking about taking tomorrow off and camping out at an epu. I need to know either way. It is just too similar to last time.

Fab news wiw !!!

ninu as you know, it's probably nothing, but we all know how terrifying this is. If your epu is not open today (ours isn't) then take tomorrow off and go to set your mind at rest. ((hugs))

tt I used to take mine with me if I was going away for a while just for peace of mind. Never needed them but it stopped me worrying in case I did iykwim!

Two days to my first scan so I'm starting to really panic about seeing nothing - which is illogical because I've never had any problems in the first trimester but I guess there's nothing logical about it. Roll on Tuesday!

tip off some of you may want to check out the common room :) < leaves innocently whistling>

ninu hoping all has calmed down for you, and that you get reassuring news tomorrow if you head to EPU, thinking of you xx

Sorry and WIW so pleased that you had such a good scan today!

tunnocks probably worth just photocopying the relevant bits to take - that's what I am doing next week when I go to Belgium. Like the page that has blood group and other stuff on it.

WIW thats great news! I am really pleased for you. I bet it will take you a few days for the info to really sink in! Enjoy!

nina sorry to hear about the cm is worrying you. I agree with the others, anything that will bring you reassurance is worth doing. Hope the EPU can help. xxx

teacake I would take them, its better to have them and not need them than vice versa, and I believe its what midwives recommend. I had to cart mine half way around the world a few times, I dont remember them being really bulky though? Are they?

Irene best of luck for the nuchal tomorrow xxx

congrats!

Ooh yay new differs! Preparing mocktails for a welcome party.

No news here. Feeling tired but still nothing in the way of sickness and boobs less hurty but it comes and goes. Had no repeat of the tiny weeny spotting of last weekend thankfully. Scan in six days. The wait is dragging.

Nina hope a trip to epu tomorrow will reassure you. Fingers crossed for good news for you. It's horrible when something happens to worry you and all you can do is wait.

Morning all. Thanks for all the good wishes yesterday - you're right mummya - it is still sinking in but feeling good

In newly confident mood and with a new EDD, I thought I would do today's stats (first time doing this so hope I've done it rght - apols for anything I've missed!)

Lots of scans coming up this week - irene today, izzy and cep tomorrow (hope you're hanging in there cep) and then onions, tunocks and orange all on wednesday. Thinking of ninunina and hoping you can get one today.

Hello all! I haven't been around much lately, sorry about that! ninu hope you manage to get a scan today and that you get reassuring news.

irene good luck for today's scan!

wiw fab news on your scan! Hehehe yep dildo cam is messy eh??

V. exciting news about an impending new arrival! I was just thinking that it must be time for some lovely new people to join the list.

I went to my first aquanatal class yesterday, it was fab! I'm still off work as I'm still completely exhausted, but fingers crossed, the breathlessness seems to have passed which is a huge relief.

Thanks wiw, I'm hoping to have one today. Not sure if I should just go straight to walk-in epu at st george or if I should try and try and get a referral from my gp and go to Kingston which is where I'm registered. I'm a bit scared that gp will brush me off again.

Not too much more spotting yesterday, and none this morning, but I still need to know that my baby is alive. We're going to France on Friday, so definitely need to know before that.

Good luck to all the scanners!

Well done for putting yourself down on the list wiw

Irene and ninu - good luck for today!! x

ninu I think I'd go straight to the walk-in, if you go to the GP and they're not sympathetic it will just cause you even more stress. Also when my GP did refer me, it was for an appointment at the EPU several days in advance which wasn't very helpful.

Thanks all for the good luck messages. The scan is at 1.40pm so am biting my nails until then. I've managed to get this far without any scans or checks except for my booking in. I've been trying not to think about pregnancy and miscarriage etc but today my mind is in overdrive. Felt a bit sick this morning but I don't know if it is just the worry, morning sickness has faded over the last couple of weeks for me thankfully.

Wiw good news on the scan. I'm quite glad I've managed without dildocam this time.

Ninu good luck for you today too!

Just updating with my new EDD.

Great news wiw
Good luck scanners today.
Ninu I hope you get some reassurance today!
I had terrible mc dreams last night all based on my worrying over having flown yesterday.

Also, would just like to say, HUGE respect to onions and irene for not having any scans before their 12 weeker!!! I have no idea how you've done it, but I am so impressed!

Ditto to what pink says - serious zen points to onions and irene!
