Anyone due May 04?

[Azure]

Just found out I'm pregnant with an EDD on May 7th, so though I'ld kick off this thread. I have a DS who was two last week. I am suprised to find myself having very mixed emotions - excitement at the thought of a sibling for DS, but horror at the thought of the pregancy, birth and first few months. Anyone else just found out they're pregnant?

oh linnet, i'm so sorry. sorry to go on and on about mine. i am really hoping that things go well for you when you have the cvs. i understand that you are trying not to get your hopes up in case they are let down, but for your baby, try and keep your chin up and look after yourself the best you can. take care xxxxxxxx lots of hugs to you ((((()))))

Hi Linnet,

Sorry to hear about your scan not going as smoothly as expected. I've my fingers crossed that it is just fluid and nothing to be concerned about, and I'm sure that everyone else here feels the same way. I really hope it all goes well on Thursday, I'll be thinking of you.

Egypt don't worry about talking about your scan. It's fine, of course you're going to be happy and excited and I'm happy and excited for you.
I feel bad for having bad news and spoiling your good scan.

Thanks to everyone for all your good wishes and I'll keep you posted.

Me again, sorry not being back for a bit. Thanks for your quick response, I know DH means darling husband, he is a male he is my husband and he was taking clomid (unsure about the darling bit) but that may be just me!!

I thought, too that it was only females that were prescribed this and that is why I was in bit of state but have read a lot on this subject now and know what i need to know!! but thanks for trying to help.

sorry feline, didnt realise that men could take clomid at all, but having looked up a few links, see that they can. Was very surprised. Didnt mean to sound like was questioning or ridiculing you, was just making sure i was getting my facts right. glad you know what you need to know.

I'm devastated to say that I lost the baby. After a little bleeding last Sunday and Monday the full-on miscarriage started on Tuesday. I had a scan on Thursday - the day I was originally booked for my 12 week scan - to confirm what I already knew. Feel disbelief that it's happened to me (after a problem-free pregnancy last time) and incredibly sad.

Oh Azure I am so sorry to hear that, I can't begin to imagine how you must feel. Anything I type seems inadequate.

Oh Azure I am so very very sorry. I don't know what to say. Please take the very best care of yourself and get plenty of rest. As prufrock says, words seem totally inadequate.

I'm so sorry to hear your news - big big hugs to you

Azure

Really sorry to hear that you've lost your baby. Thinking of you lots and a big hug.

Azure,

I called the hosptial yesterday as I had not had a date through for my scan. The hospital told me it is on Monday morning!! As there's little post due to the strikes I haven't received the letter yet. Anyway, I wanted to change it to nearer 12 weeks as I'll only be 10 weeks, but she said that because of my age (only (!!!)35), they needed to scan early in case of any problems. Anyone heard of this before??

Cheeky bitch - i would've told her she was as well!
Never heard of it before - though it was only women over 40 that needed earlier tests!

Sorry not much help - Good luck for Monday though

Azure, I' so sorry that you've lost your baby. I don't even know why I'm poking around here.....I was due in June and still have a look on that thread......I had a m/c on the weekend too and it's awful isn't it. Hope you're talking with someone and getting through things,

Today I went for my CVS test I'm now 12 weeks pregnant and I apologise in advance for this being so long.
I had a scan first and I asked the Dr doing the scan if the fluid was still there. She said it was and measured it and told us that it was only 2.4mm she did another measurement again a few minutes later and got 2.6mm. She had a good look around and printed out some pictures and said that she'd talk to the other Dr.
They did another scan after she'd spoken to the DR. this time the baby had moved into a not so good position which they weren't very happy with in regards to the CVS. The male Dr then said that in regards to the fluid it was up to me whether or not they do the CVS as the measurement was below 3.5mm which he said was the measurement they start to get concerned about, last week they measured 3.7mm. AT first I was all for them doing the CVS as we had travelled 20 miles to go to this hospital. The male Dr said that as far as he could see it would be ok to wait another couple of weeks and then have another scan at 14 weeks to see how things are and maybe have an amnio if I wanted. WE decided to do this. He's going to get in touch with my hospital and it will all be arranged. In all honesty I probably will have the amnio just to be on the safe side re chromosomes etc.

You may well wonder why I just didn't get the CVS done today then while I was there but it was because of something else that the Dr's both said that made me change my mind.
When I went in last week they told me I was only 11 weeks. This week now that I'm 12 weeks they told me that if I had come in today for my first scan they wouldn't have been worried about the fluid as it's below the cut off point, IYKWIM

I know I don't have any proof yet that the baby is definitely ok but the fact that at 12 weeks these Dr's weren't overly concerned about the fluid level did give me a little bit of a boost. I know I'm not in the clear but I do feel 100 times better than I did last week. My dates were wrong because I don't follow a 28 day cycle I'm 33 days instead. If I'd been 28 days and this is what the Dr's told me today, I'd probably have had a normal first scan.

Oh and it turns out that the hospital I was at today doesn't actually do a Nuchal scan either our nearest hospital to do them is over 60 miles away from where I live.

I'll keep you all posted on the outcome. I hope you are all doing well.

Linnet

I'm really glad that you're feeling better about this. From what you say it does seem that you have less to worry about. Fingers crossed for your next scan.

I have my scan on Monday morning.Excited and nervous at the same time. Guess there's no point worrying as it'a not likely to make any difference to the outcome...will just stress me out more!

Oh Linnet, that is good news - do please keep us posted as to how it goes.

I've been feeling a lot better the last couple of days - tiredness levels are getting manageable (just "had a late night" sort of tired rather than "I want to curl up and sleep for 1000 years so LEAVE ME ALONE!" sort of tired). I can't believe how much more positive I'm feeling about things as a result now.

I'm 11 weeks now - got a doctor's appt next week but my dating scan isn't until 14 weeks which is a bit of a pain, never mind.

Azure - sorry to hear about your baby, it's brought tears to my eyes. I feel so awful now about not really knowing how I feel about having a second! - like others, a mixture of how will I cope, will I feel differently about my first dd, will I have a favourite etc etc. I'm sure I'm just going through the usually hormonal thing and that if and when it arrives I will love it just as much as my first.

I feel more nervous now as well about going for my 12 week scan - booked 12th November, I have been trying to push this to the back of my mind but reading through all the messages that I've missed has reminded me that I really am lucky to be this far on (I bled a lot with my first, but have only spotted occasionally with this one - but it's still quite scarey!)

I still haven't had a midwives appt yet - apparently you have to chase them up in this area, which I don't really find acceptable - do they not class pregnancy as important?!

Thinking of you all

Thank-you to everyone for your kind words - I haven't been on-line for the past week. I truely wish that everyone has a smooth and successful pregnancy - I shall be checking in every now and then to see how you are getting on. Linnet, your news sounds a lot more encouraging. What a worrying time. Fingers crossed that you have the confirmation that everything is ok in a couple of weeks.
