so happy, but so scared

[GlitterySkulls]

i had a early miscarriage in august, & i've still not really came to terms with it ( i posted here at the time, & got some fab support, thanks everyone)

i got a bfp yesterday (no idea how many weeks, my periods are quite erratic, but maybe 4-6 weeks? very strong line considering it was done at 5 pm, anyway) and while i'm over the moon, i'm terrified incase i lose this baby too.
i know logically i either will or won't, and there's probably not anything i can do to prevent it happening if it's going to, but it keeps gnawing away at me.

i have also been up all night throwing up, to the extent i've woke up DS ( not quite 15 months) so i am now up for the day ( i dont function well without my full quota of sleep ) but on the plus side, DS is being very sooky & affectionate with me just now

i don't really know why i'm posting, i'm just looking for reassurance i guess.

Congratulations! It's completely natural for you to be worried, just try not to stress yourself out. Maybe if you book an early appointment with your GP you can have a couple of early scans for reassurance. I know not all areas do this but my friend who had MC prior to her current pregnancy has had a couple of extra scans, including one at eight weeks to try and put her mind at ease a bit more. Good luck with everything!

thanks very much, louby.

that's useful to know re: scans, although i have a feeling i might end up with a couple anyway (severe hyperemesis, which i had last time & looks all set to be repeated this time ( joy )

i'll be phoning the gp first thing monday morning, i can't wait, sooooooooooooo excited

Come and join the hyperemesis support thread too! It saved me from going insane (am 29 weeks pregnant) There's a few people on there who have just got pregnant with their next DC too!

i might just do that, if i can drag myself away from the loo long enough to post - i am sooooooo sick today it's unreal !

Congratulations!

thank you :)

i feel a bit daft- my hyperemesis turned out to be a virus, dh had it & now my mum's got it- haha, talk about jumping the gun

i have my doctors appt later, i'm so so excited !!!

Huge congrats on the BFP!!! - it is normal after your loss - day by day is all you can do! and speak to your support to address your feelings and fears!
all the best remember each day is one step that your baby grows strong!

thank you :)

GP said i've to phone epu tomorrow morning to arrange an early scan to put my mind at rest- i'm just hoping they're more helpful than they were in august

i hope the scan will help you - enjoy and look forwards there are so many women on these thread all sharing your fears after a loss, but expecting again! maybe pop head in and read before posting for added support!

EPU are refusing to do a scan

tried to phone my GP, but she's off today. going to call her tomorrow & hopefully she can sort this out.

Hello,
Just though id let you know that you can pay for an early scan private, price is about £99. They scan from 5 weeks plus.
I know how u feel, Ive had 4 m/c's now found out im pregnant again! I have booked a scan this weekend and also get a scan through my hospital on the 20th but i just cant help but worry!!! Cant go to the loo without stressing!!!
I have been to 3 different EPU unit's and each one has different policys so maybe its worth trying 1 in another local hospital if you dont have the funds to pay private, not many of us do :( Im lucky i had some spare funds this month!!
I know its so easy to say but try not to worry and look positive!!
Take care
xx

unfortunately i couldn't afford to go private, but thanks for letting me know.

congratulations, & i hope everything goes well at your scan :)

my GP phoned this morning, she's going to phone the EPU & try to get them to change their mind, so here's hoping :)

i have my scan next friday

i'm starting to get a bit panicky now, i hope everything's all right.

Glittery if you go over to the conception board there are some threads with people who are pregnant after mc. I found them really supportive. Congratulations!!!
