its been such a long time, I cant remember whats normal and what isnt. I have had the most godawful diarrhoea all fecking night, no stomach cramps but backache and I have had pregnancy sickness at the evening and just feel nauseous in the morning. 5+4 is my usual mc stage, but I have no bleeding or cramping, just this D&V. am calling gp after 11 but please reassure me until then.

Why are you waiting till after 11?

But it could be the hormones really kicking in. I was Certain! Stonach cramps and period like pains with dizzyness ment i was losing my baby at the same stage. My baby is now a 2 year old who currently has nanna smeered all over fer face!

I've had the same last week I'm about 7+4 I've had a scan and everything was fine I've never had it with my others so I was assuming it was just a bug. MS is perfectly normal for me.

Lissie - be calm and breathe, how is your temp? Ring the doc earlier and ask about the D&V you can always ring a second time for your results.

Fab, now go and sit down with a Brew and relax until then. Fingers crossed it is just part of being pregnant and nothing horrid. With DD I had horrible lower backache, I spent the first 8 weeks leaning on a radiator or hot water bottle!

I understand exactly where you are coming from, after many m/c you get too scared to believe it may ever happen again especially with only one tube.

MigratingCoconuts · 18/04/2011 09:15

I was following your other thread...I have nothing I can add except that I have been thinking of you since yesterday and am sending all the best vibes your way I can.

thank you migrating.

malva, I keep thinking that its my own fault for hoping. Im worried that my bloods will show a non-viable pg. then I have to decide if I want a scan (which I wont) Im even more worried that I will lose this tube, we have been refused IVF, so a miracle is our only hope.

OP posts:
Malvapoeding · 18/04/2011 09:25

Lissie, I never stopped hoping with all of mine and DD1 ended up with a baby sister. Never stop hoping, it's what will keep you going.

prolificwillybreeder · 18/04/2011 09:29

Oh Lissie hope you're ok. Don't have any useful advice other than make sure if you can, try and get hydrated.
Hope the doc's go well.

ok, back from doctors. blood test not back yet, got told off for not calling OOH last night. he was actually lovely and v understanding. he is calling me as soon as the results come in and we can go from there. scan weds still stands and tummy feels ok, temp is a little raised but not too bad.

drink water (try to keep it down) and rest, rest, rest.

v had d&v at about 6 weeks - now 17w with id twins. MW reassured me that babies are well protected despite my wretching being really strong. Try to keep fluids up with cola - the sugar and caffiene are actually good for sickness and energy (they give it to babies flat when they are getting dehydrated).

Good luck x

prolificwillybreeder · 18/04/2011 11:52

Fingers crossed for you Lissie. Hope he calls with good results asap!
Thank you for the kind comment about one's new shiny name.

prolificwillybreeder · 19/04/2011 09:17
