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

[CollieandPup]

Just found out you are pregnant after a previous miscarriage and too nervous to move over the to pregnancy boards? Freaking out about spotting, cramping, symptoms (or lack there of) and nervously awaiting your first scan? Here is a lovely place for lot's of support, hand holding and problem sharing.

Courtesy of owlbooty here are the Ten Commandments of the Freak Out Room.

1. Thou shalt check thy knickers to the point of insanity until the baby actually arrives.
2. Thou shalt also check the loo roll post-wipeage (sorry, gross, I know)
3. Thou shalt bore thy physician and midwife to tears with the mentalling.
4. And thy husband/boyfriend/family/neighbour's cat.
5. Thou shalt obsess over the absence of symptoms.
6. And the presence of symptoms.
7. And the fluctuation of symptoms.
8. Thou shalt pee on a vast number of sticks and keep ClearBlue and First Response in business.
9. The day before any scan extreme mentalling is permitted without recourse to the Haddock.

10. Self-diagnosis with Dr Google is Forbidden.

The Haddock will be applied liberally to all transgressors.

See here for the old thread.

velvet I know!!

I'm still trying to puzzle out updiffed (and now also mummya's hints - I'm stuck on the motivated one... updiffed was your previous incarnation weather-related?

Thanks for the good wishes, am fretting a bit although I did manage to pick up the hb straight away with Doppler on Saturday so trying to remain optimistic.

Hope you all had a good weekend x

Hello, just pulling up a bean bag in the new thread and - very nervously - adding myself to the list.

A massive congrats to lily and for scooby - I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed too, lots of tears yesterday for DH to cope with. Hope everything's OK with you.

And welcome to the mysterious updiffed!

congrats hadrian

Tmi coming up. Had brown discharge yesterday. V worried. This morning got up and loads literally gushed out. Trickled down my legs. So am completely beside myself now. Have no hope that it's all fine.

Hey dachs didn't want to read and run. Have you phoned the hospital? Surely they'll offer to scan you when you tell them what's happened.

Thinking of you. Hope everything is fine. Ring someone now if you haven't already xx

dachs sorry you're so worried, that must be scary. Remember brown is usually ok, but I know that doesn't help much when it's happening to you. Have you called mw/ante natal ward to get a scan to set your mind at rest? Try to stay calm, call them asap and get some reassurance. Big (((hugs))) x

dachs hope you get some reassurance soon, thinking of you x x

good luck today izzy hope the scan goes well. Lovely to see you here lily and great to see hadrian on the list. Hope you all have good days

Oh Dachs, echoing Izzy, try your very hardest to not think negatively, Brown is usually ok, but I really hope you've spoken to someone now and are getting a scan... (((Hugs))) Much love to you too... Keep us posted!

LoL you girls are funny with your questions..... Izzy gets the prize, I think! :) yes I was once a young human of good summer weather, but I was never a huge poster so you might not remember me. Hope that helps!! Hope to get to know you all soon too.

Scan today izzy? how exciting, good luck to you dolly :) !!

MummyA I remember you too :o

Changed my name for the time being to updiffed cos Im pretty sure I am :o

it's now red...

Have you phoned? Can you get your gp to get you a scan? You must be worried sick. I wish there was something I could do dachs xx

Oh no bloody hell dachs you must be so worried. Ring epu or get yourself to a&e. I have everything crossed for you, hoping all will be ok. Thinking of you today.

izzy great news finding the hb. It's so reassuring isn't it. I was freaking out on Saturday, but found a hb, and feel Ive got a bit of new strength to get me through weds scan.

Welcome updiffed and congrats.

Well done Hadrian for adding yourself to the list

soooo lovely to have you on here!!! Count from the first day of your last AF.

Shattered today. Worked Saturday so feeling sorry for myself after a one day weekend. But to cheer myself up yesterday I bought a pair of I love mummy and I love daddy grows from gap!!!! Sooooo cute!!!

Oh Dachs you must be beside yourself. Have you phoned anyone? Go to A&E if you get nowhere soon. Thinking of you x

Good luck for today Izzy! How does 12 weeks feel?

Welcome to the newbies, sorry you have to be here and hope your stay is boring and uneventful.

Not much from me, lots of pre-scan (Wed) mentalling going on. Worried there won't be a hb etc.... Still got lots of symptoms, but I thought everything was ok with the mmc. Hate feeling like this, want to enjoy my pregnancy.

dacha can your ob see you today? Really hope all is well. I am keeping everything tightly crossed for you xx

Quick thought dacha where's your placenta? If it's low lying that could be the cause?

dachs I'm hoping you've spoken to someone by now? If not please ring/go to hospital daycare asap. I still think it's hopeful - I had a gush of red once and it was fine - but terrifying - and I know others have had varying types of bleeding and it's been ok. However you need a scan before you go mad. Thinking of you, lovely xxx

Oh no bloody he'll dachs you must be so worried. Ring epu or get yourself to a&e. I have everything crossed for you, hoping all will be ok. Thinking of you today.

izzy great news finding the hb. It's so reassuring isn't it. Iveas freaking out on Saturday, but found a hb, and feel Ive got a vit of new strength to get me through weds scan.

Welcome updiffed and congrats.

Just seen your last post updiffed - oh yay, congrats!!! . Am so pleased to see you here! I know this has been a long time coming for you and it's been a rocky road at times, so it's just lovely to see you with a bfp xx

harassed thanks - 12 weeks doesn't feel much different tbh, but that might be because I got to 16 last time so haven't quite passed my psychological danger point yet. However, I know that the further I get the more hopeful it is and I think if today goes ok it will feel like we're over the next (but not the last!) hurdle.

I think there's a few of you scanning on weds...will be keeping fx for lots of good news.

Welcome also to anyone else I've missed whilst at MILs this weekend - great to see new people joining the list too, keep 'em coming!

Sorry for double post, phone crashed!

Btw dachs just a though but it could be cervical erosion? Apparently that can cause extra sensitivity/bleeding but you might not be aware of it. Apparently I've had it for a while but would never have known if the nurse hadn't mentioned it at my last smear.

Hello ladies,

May I join you on this thread? I'm over on the Ibiza thread on the m/c board but recognise some of you ladies (and congratulations to you all!).

I m/c 8 weeks ago after a suspected ectopic which turned out to be in the right place after all but not growing properly. Am now updiffed without an AF so my gynaecologist doesn't know for sure how far gone I am. I went for a private scan on Tuesday and the radiographer freaked the hell out of me and told me it was another blighted ovum. She doesn't usually do pregnancy scans so was referring to a photocopied chart [hmmm].

It turned out, after consulting Dr Google, that she had got her measurements wrong and I had another scan on Friday with a different clinic. They think I'm 5/6 weeks and they saw a heartbeat . Am so relieved but am still freaking out like crazy. Am so pissed off about the initial radiographer telling me it wasn't viable .

It feels really surreal as I only stopped bleeding 6 weeks ago, so to be 6 weeks pregnant feels particularly bizarre.

Would you mind if I stayed and bit my nails in the corner?

Dachs Am thinking of you, I hope you can get this checked out today.

Welcome Really.....I'm in the same boat as you 7+5 weeks prg 7+5 after mc. Also had a mmc in Jan but had an af that one. It makes it doubly worrying if you ask me as you haven't got over your loss yet. Much mentalling here!! Sounds like you've had a rough ride already, how on earth can they let someone so incompetent scan you.....unbelieveable!

Just a quick msg from phone to send a massive hug to dachs, I really hope that youre getting scanned and reassured right now and that the little ones are just fine x
