I though I was done with pregnancy and childbirth, but it appears not!

Hey, have started this thread after nearly hijacking someones elses, sorry!

Okay, so on the 18th feb i had a bit of afternoon delight with an old friend. We are not in a relationship, and never will be but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Unusually for me i got a little carried away and forgot to use a condom, silly thing to do, i know. So fast forward to the 24th feb... While out with my 17 year old daughter i took a serious tumble on a display in M&S... I managed to break my arm and a couple of ribs... When i was falling i was very aware the i could have conceived ( because a few days after we got jiggy i did an ovulation calculator and we were bang on the time i was ovulating) and panicked a bit because i though that the fall would harm it. So at the hospital they did xrays, but covered me up just in case and only gave simply painkillers... However when they got the results back the dr told me to take anti-inflammatories... I think she'd forgotten i might be pregnant. Anyway, over the first week after the fall i just assumed that the fall would have put pay to any baby action. On tuesday i had a fracture clinic appointment... While there i was feeling hideous, sick and hot... I thought it was because i had been shaken about a bit in the car, but something told me to do a test, just to rule it out. When i got home i did it, and nearly had a heart attack when i saw a faint positive result.. Infact i still cant believe it and i have had 4 more faint lines and one obvious positive... Its been a crazy three weeks... The friend is now missing in action, not returned the call and email to inform him of the situation, something i could do without! I am still fragile from my fall, and feel like my life has just gone nuts. HELP!

That said, i very much want this child and although i am terrified i am happy to be having it.

Sorry about crappy typing, i am doing this left handed as its my right arm thats broken.

Discuss :);)

From what you said on floosie's thread, I'd say you wanted this to happen. I think you'll be fine, just as soon as the arm mends...

I defo could have taken the morning after pill, but chose not to, so yeah, you are probably right! The reality is something else though... Im sure when I'm feeling better i'll be able to enjoy the situation better. Having said that if you'd told me two days before i hooked up with him that all this was about to happen i'd have laughed in disbelief it wasn't even on the cards. Its the first time i have had sex since 2010, i had accepted that there were no more babies for me, and I'm not usually silly about contraception.

Quick update... BFP on the clearblue digital, so any doubt has now gone... I'm defo pregnant.

congratulations!

Your really lucky falling pregnant after just 1 shag.... I'm jealous and sure most of the other ladies on here are too! You don't seem too annoyed so you must want this wee baby and have no doubt you will love it!

Congratulations!

Well im cant quite believe it myself... I have PCOS too so god knows how it happened. Thanks though, even thought i am feeling very sick this evening im very happy as i didnt think id have another. :)

Update time- on tuesday morning, i woke bleeding and cramping very badly... Iwent straight to A+E and they tested my wee, which was still positive. The Dr had a feel of my tummy just to check it wasnt an ectopic pregnancy. He explained that as the test was positive there was still hope for the pregnancy and sent me to the EPU... Here's the major headf*uck... In the time it took to walk the long corridor from casualty to the EPU i began having what felt like fullon contractions. When i got there they tested my wee again, this time it was negative... The nurse was pretty awful and told me that in the middle of a corridor... She told me into a room and said 'well you look like you have had a miscarriage'. There was no eye contact, she didnt even look up from what she was writing. She prepared a blood form to check my levels, but told mr i needed to go back to the other end of the hospital to have them taken. I was feeling utterly horrendous. After an hour of sitting in the reception, they called me a porter to take me for my bloods, i was in the full throws of the miscarraige by this point... My legs were like jelly, i was bleeding very heavily and the cramps/contractions were coming thick and fast... Walking seemed impossible. The people that took my blood were so good... I told the receptionist what was going on and they took me straight in and did it immediately... There would have been an hours waitin at least, and there were no seats, so i was very grateful... After that i went home and waited... And at 4. 15 they called to confirm that i had lost the baby. The miscarriage continued for about 48 hours, though it slowed down considerably after about 24 hours. Ims still crampy, but the bleeding has stopped... Im just numb, and shell shocked. I have anintrusive thought that my baby shouldnt be down the toilet, it seems so wrong.

My baby ws not planned, but i feel its loss deeply... Its really sad, and on top of my fall, it is a little overwhelming... The scary thing is i knew something wasnt right, i think its why i had such trouble accepting i was pregnant. Womens intuition huh!

So very sorry vickitoriana. Hope you are ok. Even if your baby was not planned you were clearly very happy to be pregnant and will grieve that loss.

Take care.

Thanks Greenlizard... The physical side of the mc seems to have settled down, still have a dull ache, but thats pretty much it... Emotionally, im still numb. I really dont know how to feel... I went from finding out i was pregnant to losing it in 7 days... Its crazy how attached you become, so fast. My daughter is doing it tough too... She was with me while it was happening, saw the whole thing.
