Excellent news What a huge relief for you

anniecam38 · 23/01/2009 16:33

So pleased for you 4ever.

Heebeejeebee · 23/01/2009 16:49

4ever that's great news and a wonderful way to start the weekend

bluesatinsash · 23/01/2009 17:00

Great news 4ever - have a fab weekend and start rubbing oil on that tummy!

Anniecam - good to see you've settled in. re: bleeding I would get yourself to your hospital gynae ward if your bleeding become heavy and/or you start passing clots. You will be admitted and scanned and should get an emergency ERPC if the bleeding is gaining momentum. I can only go on my experiences but once I started bleeding heavily there was no stopping it but I know some ladies can bleed moderately for days and not have to go in beforetheir scheduled ERPC.

Its a horrible 'limbo' time and my thoughts are with you.

wasabi I had a low afternoon yesterday, was with my 'Mum' friends and three of them have new babies so all talk was of how cute they are and such and I just felt myself getting really sad (as I sat there cuddling them) and wondering will I ever hold a newborn again BUT I do feel I will one day. Positivity rules!

Anyway, 'tis Friday night - DS early to bed, DH and me on couch with wine, pizza watching ER, Gray's Anat and B&S - bliss!

Have a great weekend all x

lobeov · 23/01/2009 17:29

4ever I'm so happy for the news!!!

Again ladies 2009 is our lucky year!!! be positive!!!

Love you all

Curlywurlee · 23/01/2009 17:33

Wasabi don't put too much pressure on yourself. I was so up and down until a couple of months ago. It does get better but please give yourself time honey.

Jools lol at your legs crossed comment, just make sure you don't get overexcited and confuse the gasman with DP

I had a very similar experience Anniecam . I had a scan at 11 weeks and discovered a MMC. They booked me in for a second scan a week later and then in the meantime I started bleeding, a bit like a heavy period. A few days later the period pains got worse and were almost like contractions for a couple of hours (I don't mean to panic you, it just got very intense every few minutes) then I passed lots of clots, and the pain stopped. The next day they scanned me and found the MC wasn't complete so they booked me in for an ERPC. I was told that I would potentially have bled for three weeks otherwise. I think the only way you will know is to get scanned again before the ERPC so its worth giving the epu a call to let them know you are bleeding.

Fingers crossed Gingermumi and I hope ds feels better soon so you can get some sleep

Blue, You did fantastic getting through that yesterday. You will hold a lovely little one honey, just hang in there okay.

Scamper I skipped off work early and I'm in the PJs already. I have no excuse either

Fantastic news 4ever

Hope Lobeov heebee and everyone has a fantastic weekend xxxx

Molliemooma · 23/01/2009 19:49

MM Hope you are having fun with your relatives Oh my starmaker was my favourite one!
HeeBeeSo glad you having some investigations done, really hope you can get some answers/solutions
Lionstar Congratulations Of course you are going to be terrified, hopefully an early scan will give you some reassurance, but as you can see from the others on here, it's not an easy ride when you have been through what we all have, keep your chin up and look at it as a new beginning
Blue I so loved Fame, aren't they doing a film again of it? Very of your night on the sofa with some of the best programmes on TV!
Jools I'm loving your opitimism, bring on the your valenines BFP, what a way to celebrate!
anniecam So sorry to hear of your loss, I can empathise like many of us about seeing a heartbeat and really thinking everything is OK, and then the awful feeling when it's not. With regard to the bleeding, first time round it was just 3/4 days (8wks) but 2nd time (10 wks) I bled for about 2 weeks so it does vary a lot.
Vjay Fantastic news on your scan, I just knew everything would be OK
Scamper Sorry to hear about your scare, but so pleased you had a good scan too! Keep yourself busy and I will wish away the time for you
mermaid How are you my lovely?
Curly Come on join the world of Facebook! Especially as you don't have pics on your profile
wasabi How are you feeling? Can't believe you're back at work already, take it easy. gingermumi Thanks for finding me on FB. Sorry to hear your ds is poorly, hope you get a better night tonight
4ever Hurray I am so pleased that your scan went well, one hurdle over and done with!

Mollie waves to VM & Lobeov and anyone not mentioned, Mollie wanders off humming starmaker

gingermumi · 23/01/2009 19:51

Exellent news 4eva

Thanks curley! Ds has been ok this aftrnoon but I can hear him coughing already, that's the way with croup, crap nights but ok (ish) days.

wasabi and annie, you have to be kind to yourselves at the mo. IME you go through all sorts of emotions as your hormones fluctuate and settle. For me, I had two scans where, despite bleeding, there was a heart beat, then the bleeding got heavier and was told that if i passed big clots i had to go to hospital, which i did- twice. I knew in my heart i'd lost the lo but they couldn't scan me for two days (it was the weekend). Each time the emotional turmoil was awful because I had to keep explaining things to different people whilst coping with how i felt. In the end i had a complete mc and didnt need intervention but even so the bleeding lasted about two weeks afterwards. Its different for everyone I think. The emotions really mess you about and hit when you least expect them too, so be prepared for that. Abpve all take care of yourselves.

gingermumi · 23/01/2009 19:53

waves to mollie and everyone else

VJay · 24/01/2009 09:28

4ever congratulations on your fab scan
vm I'm thinking of you today xxxxx
scamper you are right about the mc 'language', a lot of it is so medical and cold, we should come up with something better.
Thanks mollie and to all you other lovelies, this is going to be our year
Hey barbie how are you? We are missing you xx

lobeov · 24/01/2009 13:31

Hello LAdies!! I have a question.. I had a DC done 01/16 it has been 8 days I'm still bleeding very heavily , is this normal?
They told I will be bleeding for 2 weeks but thta will be less and less, In my case I got a little bit havier after 5 days.

Thanks

bluesatinsash · 24/01/2009 14:18

lobeov - I wouldn't have thought you should still be bleeding heavily after 8 days . I would phone your OBGYN. My bleeding was gone after a week but only heavy (and even then not really) the day after ERPC.

We're off to Sea Life Centre this afternoon to try and 'find nemo' with DS

VM - I'm sending lots of good scan thoughts, hope you have nice socks on today

VillageMum · 24/01/2009 15:23

Bad news I'm afraid, ladies. We had our second scan at 9 weeks today and there is no heartbeat now. I will be having an ERPC next week, not sure what day yet, will be speaking to the consultant about it tomorrow. Please think of us. I may not be on here for a while as I just need to be able to come to terms with this second mmc on my own. Thank you all for having been there for me. xx

Molliemooma · 24/01/2009 15:32

VM Oh sweetheart I just don't know what to type, I can't believe you have to go through this again, life has been so unfair to so many of us. Please look after yourself, the worst thing is you know what to expect, so take care and sending you a very non-mumsnet hug. We will be waiting for you when you are ready.

Joolsiam · 24/01/2009 15:33

Oh VM

I am SO, SO sorry. Not sure anything I say will make you feel better right now, so have a hug ((()))

lobeov · 24/01/2009 16:53

villagemum, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Sending you a biggggggg hug.
Lots of love

lobeov · 24/01/2009 17:08

Hello ladies I have questions about the meaning of:
ERPC
When you refer you your children as DS DD DC , what is DC?

Thank you

anniecam38 · 24/01/2009 18:02

VM So sorry to hear your sad news, life is just so shit sometimes.

anniecam38 · 24/01/2009 18:06

lobeov-DC means darling child/children.

ERPC is short for Evacuation to Remove the Products of Conception, not a very nice term when it is to do with our much loved, wanted little angels.

VJay · 24/01/2009 18:25

vm I am so so sorry, I've had a little cry for you, and want you to know I am thinking of you. This is just so cruel.

lobeov · 24/01/2009 19:04

Thank you anniecam, here in the states we call it D&C, that is a hursh term.

bluesatinsash · 24/01/2009 20:14

VM my heart is breaking for you . We are all here for you when you feel up to talking, this thread would not be the same without your wise word and warm heart.

Blue xxx

gingermumi · 24/01/2009 21:38

Oh VM so sorry for you. Take care XX

mm1509 · 25/01/2009 03:00

vm just checked to see how you got on and so, so, sorry. Words don't describe what I feel for you just now. You know what I feel for you so much right now. Wish I could say something better right now. I'm here anytime you need me hun.
