Freak Out Room For Those Newly Updiffed After M/C Part VII

[Blackkat]

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.

aMuminwaiting it's definitely good that you have something else to think about over the next few weeks - moving house is very exciting!! And at least it will get you away from the screaming kids and car alarm so your sleep should improve! Personally, for this pregnancy and the last one, I waited until I had a scan at around 7 weeks before booking in with my GP. They were totally fine about that - I think loads of people don't even realise they are pregnant until around that time (lucky them!) I would say do what you feel most comfortable with, but sounds like your existing surgery isn't great... Hope the next few weeks go really quickly for you :)

lily hope you're doing ok. What an arse about the exams as well - such a stressful week! Defo good idea to move them to later in the year though. One stress at a time. Will be thinking of you this week...

amuminwaiting congratulations on new pregnancy but crikey you've been through an awful time! Really hope everything goes smoothly for you this pregnancy. I have weird hot at night thing as well, v annoying!

Hope everyone else has had a good weekend.

I had a couple of days of calm but back to mentalling as have horrid tummy pains tonight but not sure if that is constipation related/stretching pains/something to actually worry about. Will default to panic of course!

Hi all, well I'm back after getting a BFP this am so am officially 4+2, eek! Feeling really down about it, just waiting for it to all go wrong. Is this normal?

amuminwaiting my mmc and erpc were 8 weeks ago so our dates etc are similar. Hope it all goes well for you this time.

Also, sorry if tmi, have any of you been off dtd with DH/DP? I'm totally convinced it will bring on another miscarriage. Anyone else have this?

Off to mental with head in sand, nice to meet you all ...

Oh yay congratulations marathon! Great news!

Evening ladies

Sorry to hear of the stresses people are having. lily hope your ok. Your dh sounds lovely and supportive. Def good idea to move the exams till you can think about them properly.

congrats to amuminwaiting and marathon lovely news-here's to a sticky nine months.

marathon i completely understand the worry of dtd. We've not done it properly since I found out 13 weeks ago! I know it's really stupid but can't help worrying about it causing another mc. DP is really good about it but I do feel a bit guilty

cep glad you had a fun birthday

I've been having weird pains all day especially when I stand up. A couple so bad I was doubled over for a couple of mins. They do wear off though but obviously I'm back to mentalling. Anyone else had this? Is it normal?

sorry to everyone I've missed and leaves homemade key lime pie and ice-cream for everyone x

Morning everyone,
MarathonMama I have been BANNED from sex when pregnant. As in my midwife has told me in no uncertain terms in all of my pregnancies! I know the blood flow increases and that's why you bleed sometimes after sex when pregnant but I didn't think it would actually do any harm other than make an already paranoid woman yet more paranoid...hmm maybe I should stay off it then! Great that we're the same stage. We can do "do you feel this? Is it normal?!" Since my one bout of vomit at implantation I've had nothing else. Who would have thought I would ever actually want to be sick?!

Thanks for the advice ladybird33. I was going to fight through the crowds this morning to try and get an appointment but I think I'll wait for the new place now. The results from the bloods and baby would be sent to me anyway wouldn't they? Or is it crazy to think the medical world see us personally as important in all this? I think I know the answer to that actually.

This is one I bet a lot of you get. The bitch from hell sister in law gave birth two nights ago. We hoped foolishly the rest of the family would give her all the attention she craves and leave us alone but no, the phone calls started at 8.30am Sunday. My husband works long hours all week, how selfish of him to want a lay in on Sunday. They didn't stop there. MORE calls throughout the day and despite her child only being several hours old she was on facebook telling the world (luckily I don't see that because unlike DH I didn't feel obliged to make someone I hate a facebook friend). Phew, all done. Time for breakfast.

Morning peeps.

marathon we dtd last week at 14-ish weeks pg. We hadn't done it before then, and I was starting to feel a bit guilty. As I had no early scans I was too nervy to do it before the 12 week scan, and tbh had been feeling really shit with tiredness and nausea. I had been putting it off, but obviously it was enjoyable in the end! No blood, all good.

lily I am so sorry that you're having the extra stress here. It sounds like a horrible ordeal. Best of luck for Thursday, and hang on to that 95% figure. I'll have everything crossed for you both xx

amumin best of luck for this pg. Presumably you have enough progesterone to be going on with until you find a new surgery? I don't really see the problem with waiting then until you find a new surgery. Will your records be instantly accesible to the new surgery or will they have to apply for them? That may be worth asking.

cep glad you had a good birthday.

Waves to all, hope you're all well. I've been having lots of back and bum pain. Not loving it, and thinking about a referral to a physio when I go to see my midwife in a couple of weeks.

Morning everyone

Welcome amuminwaiting and marathon

lily I am so sorry you had to go through all of that on thursday will keep fingers crossed for this week. ((hugs))

I had a fairly uneventful weekend slept loads the nausea seems to be wearing off trying to see that as a good sign! Still here but bearable!

Spent Sunday at the in laws got around the no drinking by saying I was on call( working in the nhs has a few advantages) although not sure if they were convinced as I kept disappearing to the toilet after dinner no throwing up but my stomach has been dodgy throughout! Sorry if TMI . I was wondering if anyone else has had this as I thought your bowels were supposed to lean towards constipation during pregnancy?

Hope everyone else had a good weekend and good luck to anyone having scans this week. I have midwives appointment on Wednesday!

On phone so will catch up properly later.

Hello everyone! Can I come and hang out on your thread for a bit. I did hang out on the post-mc thread for a while before taking a break from mn and then returning to the brooking no arguement thread. Now I have my BFP I am spending soooo much time on mn trying to pass the time and not go crazy that I thought it would be good to have somewhere I can come and rant in a mad and irrational fashion.

purpletoes I am 4+3 and somehow manage to get both constipation and diarrhea (sorry for the tmi!) almost at the same time! How this is even possible I just don't know. I am figuring that the dodgy stomach is part of morning sickness for me as I don't really get sick and haven't thrown up at all.

I was going to go see the gp today to book my first midwife appointment but I am getting cramping today so have decided to put it off for a bit longer. I am also playing with the idea of getting a scan at 7 weeks. I am supposed to be going up to scotland to visit a friend at the start of august and this is exactly when I had my mc last time so I am rather freaking out about it and thought a scan before I go might make me feel better.

Have others had one at 7 weeks? did you find it worth it?

Hey ladies

Sorry I haven't been around for a while - things have been very very busy, plus I've been suffering from pretty bad insomnia and I've also been feeling a bit 'inbetweeny'. Not ready to move over to grads yet but kind of needed a break from worrying about pregancy things every minute of every day! That's not to say I haven't been thinking about your all though!

Anyway, it could be my sleep deprived brain but I couldn't find a list since Weds, so I decided to update it. Forgive me, the maths is a bit harder when its been a few days!

I can't really catch up with everyone individually but I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about your experience last week lily, I have everything crossed for you. Congrats collie on the big 20, that's a great milestone. Sorry for everyone else having a troubling time and hello and congrats to the newbies - feel free to add yourself to the list when you're ready!

oh hiding i had a scan this time at 7 weeks - was certainly worth it in that it showed a little heart beat and everything appeared to be ok. I've had one before at 8 weeks though and that led to a painful 2 weeks wait to find out things weren't working out. It's tricky, could be just that little bit too soon, especially if you ovulated late or have a different shaped uterus and then it can create a lot of worry. If you can get it on the nhs then maybe go for it, if it's private maybe try and hold out until 8 to be more sure of seeing things?

Good point Youremindmeofthebean. I tried calling the surgery just to talk things through with my GP and hopefully get the test results but the snappy receptionist told me I can't get an appointment, I can sit and wait but might not get my own GP and anyway she might be on holiday today (your desk is a few yards from her office can you not check you useless cow?). I also wasn't allowed to know if my results were in because I rang before 11am (trying to get through after 11am is like paddling upstream with no paddle and holes in your boat). My mother is furious and is frogmarching me there tomorrow morning (I am 30 years old and can only imagine this will be humiliating, however if it gets me seen I'm not so bothered I won't let her...plus I'm moving anyway!). I've put in for a repeat prescription for the cyclogest so that will give me another month. Why does everything take so long?!

HidingInTheUndergrowth I love having scans because we are in the same position that we don't know how many times we'll get to see our little ones. However if you are prone to bleeding then I'd say wait it out until there's no chance they'll do an internal. I had that last time and it was painful and I started bleeding afterwards. I don't think it does any favours. But if you know you're seven weeks you'll be ok with a regular one. They never give me comfort, especially as they ALWAYS say to me "you know this doesn't mean you won't lose your baby?" but seeing a heartbeat does wonders for easing the worry for a little while.

I totally get what you mean about worrying about doing things you have planned because they fall on when you lost a baby, or when you're baby was due etc. The thing is we've ll been there before and as horrendous as it is we all got through. I've lost mine in hospital, at home and at my parents and each time was incredibly tough to deal with. It was a family gathering last time and we were all about to go to the pub for lunch when I said to my Aunt I think the baby is going to die today. Until that point I'd only had a small amount of spotting and the cramping had just kicked in, but I knew. So they all made themselves scarce and she and my DH stayed with me until it was over. It was actually really good to have people around who I knew cared about me and were keeping things as normal as possible when I got back from taking the baby to the hospital. You'll know what to do nearer the time. If everything feels ok and you are happy to go then do. If you don't feel up to it for whatever reason you're friend will understand. You and the baby are the most important people right now.

On a more gross note...does anyone else use cyclogest anally? I used it last time vaginally but it caused inflamation and a huge amount of discharge. It seems so much more efficient this way but was worried that not enough gets in my system that way (no one eating their lunch right now right?!)

I've been up to my eyes in it so haven't had a chance to catch up on everything for a while. dooscooby I'm very much like you on the inbetweeny front - its a funny time.

I'm in full mental mode as it's my 20wk scan this afternoon. Yesterday I didn't stop all day to keep myself busy and made myself so tired that I then burst into tears at 8. Idiot girl. Anyway, trying to tell myself that all will be OK and fx that my stupid placenta has moved up.

marathon - we haven't DtD since March 18th . I felt too rough the first three-four months and then as soon as I felt a bit racy, I had a bit of a scare and was told not to until the outcome of today's scan. The pressure!! Whatever feels right for you is OK - just make sure that you and MrMarathon are talking about it so that you are on the same page.

Ladybird How are you? I've been thinking about you

Hello to all the newly diffed people and sorry not to namecheck you all. Hiding I had a scan at 6+3 and again at 9 (I'm a bleeder :)) and it did help me.

Big hugs to you all. Hopefully I'll be back on with positive news in the near future

Thanks lily and stark thought there was nothing to worry about just have to be a bit careful.

lily good luck for thurs, hope you are coping ok till then

amuminwaiting congrats on the new pregnancy, what an awful time you have had, really hope everything goes smoothly for you

marathon great news and yeah no DTD for us either, far too worried so I know I wouldn't relax - maybe if we get to the 12 weeks scan

I have had my scan dates through, going for reassurance scan at 8+4 on 24 July and got my 12 week scan on 19 August, just hoping everything goes ok and we get to these dates

good luck this afternoon bigmac - hope to hear good news from you soon. 20 weeks seems like an eternity away for me, but I'm trying very hard not to wish my whole life away and 'enjoy' things a bit more - much easier said than done!

Hope the 20week scan is going ok for you bigmac! :)

aMum your surgery sound horrendous but I have no doubt that the power of the angry mother will sort them out!

Thanks for the thoughts on early scans guys. Lots ot think about. I was lucky enough to have a scan just before I had my mc last time and that showed that the fetus was a slightly odd shape and the heart hadn't started beating. When the mc was confirmed they said that it was almost certainly because of this lack of development and my body had rejected it. So I know if I have a scan and get a heart beat I will feel soooo much better, but on the other hand if I don't get a heart beat I will be devestated even though it might just be because it is a bit early. Gosh! I think I'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks and have a think about it.

Hi all, wow this thread has moved quickly today! I am fine thanks bigmac.

Stupid bleeding started up again this morning and cramps have been really bad yesterday and today, so I went for another scan and everything is ok!!! Babies jumping around everywhere! I am 12 weeks today and honestly can't believe I have made it this far. Have my nuchal test on Thurs so fx all ok with that. DH really busy at work so not sure if he can make it, so may be just me and DS!!

Mamarara and Minnie I completely understand how scary all the cramping pains can be. Mine are more or less constant when I am moving around or even sitting down. They only go away if I actually lie horizontally. Do yours go away/get better if you rest or go to the loo? Mine definitely worse if I need wee or poo (sorry TMI) but get dramatically worse if I walk around - v irritating. I think it is everything getting bigger (technically round ligament pain I think) although my uterus is being irritated by the bleeding as well so it's even worse. Definitely almost doubled over in pain sometimes and certainly difficult to move around a lot of the time, so you're not alone. Try not to worry but def get scanned if you think something is not right or if they don't come and go.

Marathonmama congrats on your BFP! Lots of sticky dust to you. I'm afraid to say we have not dtd for about 8 weeks, I'm just too worried with everything going on down there. I honestly don't know when I'll feel happy about it. I think dh is ok with it but I do feel bad for him.

AMuminwaiting I sympathise about the bitch SIL. Hopefully things will calm down a bit once she gets home from hospital. Also sympathy for NHS receptionist - they are a scary breed.... Great news that your Mum is going with you for support tomorrow!

Hiding welcome to the thread and congrats on your BFP. I have had a 7 week scan this time and last time - they can usually find a heartbeat at that stage and I personally found it reassuring, at least to know that so far so good. However, it is a very personal thing, so I can understand people wanting to wait a while. I had it done for free at the EPU - maybe call and see if you could get one done there if you decide to go for it?

Lovely to hear from you scooby, sorry about the insomnia - hope things improve soon. x

Bigmac hope the scan goes really, really well this afternoon and that the placenta has started it's journey upwards. Waiting to hear from you later. Will be thinking of you! x

Lily so sorry you are having to go through all this worry, thinking very positive thoughts for your and fx for a good outcome on Thursday. Good idea on delaying the exams as you really don?t need the extra pressure right now.

waitingso sorry about what you have been through but welcome ? may your stay here be lovely and boring.

marathon congrats also on the BFP, we also haven?t done the deed since my BFP but we have had very open discussion about why I feel this way which I think has helped dh understanding. Not ideal but I just don?t need any extra stress and as I said to him if i had a mc after the internal scan then imagine what dtd might do :)

purple I am also with the spectrum of everything at the same time ? way TMI I know, not fun at all and also have the dry retching as well going on almost constantly ? was up til 2am last night hunched over a bowl. Would love to actually throw up something

dooscooby thanks for doing the list and nice to see you

hiding welcome to you also

bigmac hope the scan goes well today

ladybird hope everything has settled down for you now

shellshock you are making me feel very unorganised as I haven?t even been to GP yet :o

cep glad you had a lovely birthday

Not much to tell here, going on holiday Thursday and trying to get through the days as best I can without going completely mental before then. Booked the GP for the 25th and still trying to work out when I?ll get a scan done. Lots of stretchy pains that are driving me insane but keep telling myself that is normal (plus am sure lots of them are caused by the bloating)

One distraction is I am the throes of planning for my parents coming to visit in September, can?t wait to see them although it will be a little sad as they were originally due to come then as that is when my dd was :( Planning lots of lovely trips for us so that we can have a happy holiday instead and I am just praying this bean sticks around for it.

afternoon ladies.

welcome newbies and congratulations and good luck.

can't remember who it was worrying about rare steak, the advice now is it's fine as long as both sides have been sealed properl

I seem to have lost a week somewhere so have changed my weeks.

Delighted to say that the scan went really well today. We have a healthy, wriggly one and my daft placenta has bucked it's ideas up and headed north. Complete relief. We decided not to find out what flavour it is yet, but instead got the sonographer to write it down in an envelope which is now going to torture us. In other good (and topical) news, it means I can now DtD if I am brave enough. We'll see :)

lady delighted to hear about the beans and sympathise with the cramps. Had these too (although imagine having double trouble miniladybirds will make them worse) and that heavy feeling that I was going to come on right up until week 13ish. Which apparently can be completely normal. It turns out :) . FX for good NT results. Have you had your cervix checked for erosion by the way? If not might be worth it as this can cause bleeding (and is nothing to panic about).

stitch completely agree with activities that were planned preMC. Very hard and sounds like you are doing stirling work there.

Hello to everyone else and i'm sending lots of postive energy your way. As well as Waggon Wheels. Chilled ones.

OK my saga continues! Please don't read if you are worried about m/c yourself. So 10days ago I hd a scan at 7w abdominally and tranvaginally, but doc's could not see anything in uterus, so sent for proper scan - immediately sac seen but only measuring 5w1d. Following day spotting starts then leads into full blown heavy red bleeding with big clots for 5 days and then settles to nothing but very slight spotting. Today (8w3d but LMP), I have scan on same useless machine, by docs, and again they can see nothing. However despite the bleeding my uterine wall is still 10mm, so obviously I have more bleeding to come. Going for proper scan on thursday to see if the sac has passed or not. I am not for one minute thinking this is anything but a m/c, but I did on a previous m/c reabsorb the sac rather than pass it, I really really hope I am not doing that again. I had hoped today I was going to get confirmation that it is all over, but instead I am left in not knowing what is going on, is the bleeding going to start up again etc. I am fed up with it all. Was not helped with sitting in waiting room with pregnant women for 2 hours after my appointment time, waiting to be seen. Stressed un-necessarily.

Sorry I am not writing personal notes to others here, I am not in a good state of mind to be helpful to anyone else unfortunately. Please forgive my selfish posting here.

willitbe that is heartbreaking, so sorry. I have complained so many times about having to sit with pregnant women when I'm waiting to see if the miscarriage is complete or not. I was in tears with my second and covered in blood. People were staring at me and mumbling. I know hospitals are stretched but putting us in a separate room until ready to scan isn't unreasonable. When you know the pregnancies over you just want it all over asap don't you. And things move stupidly slowly with the hospitals. I hope they pull their fingers out and help you.

willitbe so sorry to hear what you're going through, it's terrible waiting in those rooms isn't it, just seems unnecessarily cruel. I hope you get much more sensitive care from now on-thinking of you.

Katherine sorry I dropped a week off your dates, oops!

bigmac totally fantastic news about your scan. I'm so pleased that all went well and that your placenta has moved!! I am incredibly impressed by your willpower to leave the "flavour" envelope sealed for the time being... Did the doctors actually tell you that it was ok to dtd?!

willitbe you poor love. I'm so very sorry that you are still going through such a horrible time and that it has all been prolonged by a useless machine in the hospital. Well done for getting through the past 10 days. I really hope that they can give you the answers you need on Thursday. It is horrible not knowing when you just want it all to be over and waiting with pg women is the worst. Take care of yourself and big ((hugs)). x
