Due date today and feeling confused......

It is my due date today, I had mc no 3 in july last year, got a scan at 7.5 weeks and saw the heartbeat then lost it all a few hours later. I had another mc in October. I have been suffering with a throat infection for a couple of weeks and have been feeling really tired, I have a doctors appt tomorrow and thought, just to rule it out I would do a pg test, so I picked up one on my way to collect my son (4) from nursery. As soon as I got in I did the test fully expecting it to be negative but it was positive. I know by now not to get my hopes up, I had a slight bleed yesterday but only when I wiped (sorry for tmi), but that made me think something was amiss. I have spoken to DH who feels the same as I do, daren't get hopes up etc, but also feeling the loss greatly. I don't know how to feel. I will speak to the doctor in the morning and ring the EPU. Not looking forward to going into the waiting game again. I know there isn't much I can do and I can't even get excited, not even if I get a scan with a hb. I will only be happy if I get to a due date! Has anyone else been in the same boat?

I'm so sorry about your losses but...

Congratulations on the positive result. Try to think positive, i know its hard but, I think we programme our brains to think negative so you can prepare for the worst but there is always hope and maybe this is it, i do hope so for you.

Like you said you were expecting a negative result and you were wrong.

It's so hard to be happy when you're still mourning your other babies.

Try to keep occupied and relaxed til your first scan. Big cuddles to you x

Thanks Catzy. It is hard to know how to feel, I don't want my mind to get carried away with positive thoughts but I don't really want to think the worst. I hate the waiting and not beeing in control. You are right we do programme ourselves based on previous experiences but hopefully things will work out. I had two mc before I had my son, and even when I got pg with DS i bled alot up until about 16 weeks, but he held on, lets hope I have a sticky one!

Thanks for the hug!

My DH is away tonight and it is so nice to not feel on my own.
