Hi Bellissima. You sound like you're in a similar situation to me. I'm 38 too, trying for my first baby. Am 6w1d today. Had a mc at 10 weeks in May and was devastated so have got everything crossed that this one has a happy ending. I'm getting a bit more confident about it as the days pass though. Counting down to 12 week scan! Good luck with your pregnancy too!! xx

Jollyb · 30/11/2012 18:20

bellissima welcome. An sure you'll find this thread really helpful.

Unfortunately knicker checking is an obligatory part of pregnancy post MC. As is panicking every time you have a bit of trapped wind.

There are a few of us with recent BFPs. I'm 5+4 today.

So good to hear updates from state and mumtum

Oh crumbs Jolly don't call him Lord, you'll give him ideas above his station! Grin

How are you doing?

BelissimaLol · 30/11/2012 21:10

Hi girls
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and lovely messages.
Yikes nice to see I'm not he only old one!
I'm feeling a bit less anxious now. Will try to go to bed early and get some sleep.
5 weeks tomorrow. Onwards and upwards!

cogitosum · 30/11/2012 22:18

Congrats belissima!
I had scan today. All good - in right place with HB. It measured at 6 and 5. I thought I was 6 and 6 so pretty accurate it seems!

backwardpossom · 30/11/2012 23:41

Yay cog! [bgrin]

HJBeans · 01/12/2012 00:08

Great news, cog! [bsmile]

Jollyb · 01/12/2012 08:31

Fantastic news cog . A great start to the weekend.

A little up and down here. Feeling a bit more positive. Still spotting but needing to forensically examine the loo roll to detect it . I suppose it's encouraging it hasn't got worse since Wed.

Looking forward to the big night out - but don't think it will be very wild. 3 pregnant ladies and 1 breast feeder. There's even a chance the other friend could be pregnant too (she had a MC a few months ago). How times change!!

Have a good weekend everyone - wrap up warm Smile

Daring to feel more positive today. No twinges and no pain. Only knicker checked peed twice during the night and manage a bit of sleep early morning.
Great news on scans!!! I'm so jealous. This 8ww is a killer. Only gone through one week and am already exhausted.
Have a good weekend lovelies
Lol Grin

YikesHereWeGo · 01/12/2012 12:56

Great news ergo cogito. I bet it was lovely seeing the HB Smile
belissima - old?! Nah!! Wink
All sounding v promising jolly. Enjoy your night out! Smile

Dorita75 · 01/12/2012 21:02

Great news cogito hearing the HB must've been so wonderful! Hope you enjoy your night jolly and welcome belisima!

Jollyb · 02/12/2012 11:45

Morning all. Had a lovely night out with my girlfriends. I told them my news almost immediately (well as soon as the wine list arrived!). I'm glad I did - there's going to be an extra 4 sets of fingers and toes crossed for my scan tomorrow.

HJBeans · 02/12/2012 12:24

Some poas reassurance for me this morning - my CBD came back with a quick 3+ two weeks to the day when I first got a 1-2. And I'm also still feeling much sicker than I did with my previous two m/c pgs. Just sent dh, who's far away for the next three weeks, a msg saying I thought this one might stick around. And then I instantly thought that I shouldn't jinx it. But, hell, there are so few confident feeling days, perhaps I should enjoy them when they come along.

Hope you're all having nice wkends and that you've enjoyed your night out, jolly.

HJBeans · 02/12/2012 12:26

Whoops - missed you above, jolly. Glad you had a good time and the additional RL support. Will be thinking of you and keeping fx here, too.

Jollyb · 02/12/2012 12:44

beans - yay for the 3+ on the digi. I'm feeling a little nauseous too and hoping it's a good sign. Positive thinking rules!

OP posts:
cogitosum · 02/12/2012 13:17

beans that's great. I love these positive days and it's good hcg is rising the way it should. I feel more pregnant this time too. Let's hope it's good for all of us.

Jolly glad you had a good night

Thanks everyone. It was great but saw a HB last time and then found the mmc a week later so not as exciting as it could be.

Having said that it was bigger than last time and the size it's meant to be and I feel completely different from last time - so much more positive!

Mrsd77 · 02/12/2012 19:52

Hi there. Can I join you all please? I've been lurking for many weeks and have found this thread to be a real help. I have one DS aged three and had a missed MC in May that turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy. We started TTC once my monitoring levels were consistently low and last week I got my BFP! I'm thrilled and totally terrified. This will be my fourth pregnancy and I feel I'm a bit rubbish at it all! My BFP coincided with a consultant appointment and I've got a scan at 6+0. I feel quite pregnant; boobs, nausea and tiredness but still quite scared. DH has encouraged me to post as he thinks it might make me feel more positive and hopeful. I'd like that! Here goes...! Smile

cogitosum · 02/12/2012 20:21

Hi mrsd sorry it sounds like you've had a tough time of it. Congrats on the bfp.

And mrd good advice! I've found this board very helpful

lurcherlover · 02/12/2012 20:45

Welcome mrsd - this is a great thread for sharing all your pg worries. Not too long until your scan then?

jolly will be thinking of you tomorrow - fingers and toes crossed for a good scan xx

cogitosum · 02/12/2012 20:59

jolly just realised I missed that you have a scan tomorrow. Good luck will be thinking of you

BelissimaLol · 02/12/2012 22:41

Congrats on 3+ beans. I'm planning to do the same this week. So scared!
I've got doctors app tomorrow. Not sure what to expect but not expecting much tbh. Any idea how long until you see the mw after this first app?

backwardpossom · 02/12/2012 22:47

Welcome mrsd Xmas Smile

Jolly I hope all is well tomorrow.

Yay to 3+, Beans

pebspop · 03/12/2012 09:46

welcome mrsd

good luck for today jolly

i am driving myself mad worrying about feeling movement. i am 22 weeks and have anterior placenta which doesn't help with feeling the movements. i was feeling a little tapping now and again everyday last week but didn't think i felt much over the weekend. i felt a bit of movement in the middle of the night last night and this morning but now i am talking myself out of that being movement. arrrrggghhhh! got a scan on thursday so think i am starting the panic early.

Jollyb · 03/12/2012 10:55

Scan was ok. 1 baby with heartbeat.

I've never got this far with any of my miscarriages.

Feeling so relieved but strangely flat. I think I've realised how scary the next few weeks/months are going to be. I went to bed at 8pm last night to stop myself from thinking and googling!

pebs anterior placentas are a pain. As I've said before I wasn't convinced I'd felt movements with DD til 24 weeks. I think you just have to establish what's normal for you and take it from there.

Is it worth giving your midwife a ring?
