Due in October 2012 Part 2

[YompingJo]

Kicking off the second thread as we outgrew the first one.

Hello all, still lurking here...
Big hugs to those having bleeding, hope it all works out and that it's just harmless spotting.
Congrats to the newbies!
I haven't had anymore since the spotting Monday night, and today have felt as sick as a dog so am very very tentatively hopeful. Have a private scan booked tomo pm, so am prepared for both scenarios. I just want to know now...

Beans Sounds fab, I have travelled lots but never been to NY. Kept hoping DH would take me there for our 10th wedding anniversary but as that's next month and he is incapable of organising large-scale surprises (plus funds are tight as we now need a bigger car), I fear the best I can hope for is a meal out (if I organise a babysitter!) Sigh.

Oh X-posted. That's good news that there's been no more bleeding Duke. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Beans! Welcome back [waves]. Thank you for sharing the sad story of your MMC. I have to say it remains my greatest dread. May I ask, why does it take a miscarriage so long to make itself known for some women? Am I making sense? In other words, how can a baby die at, say, 7 weeks, and the mother be in the dark until her scan? What happens to the baby in the meantime? Why no bleeding etc? I'm sorry to push for answers to questions such as this. Maybe I'm being inappropriate. Sorry.

Duke & Fairy, what time are your scans tomorrow? I will be praying for you both xx

I just wrote you all a huge message and it has disappeared!!

I think it went something along the lines of...

Hi everyone, hope you're all feeling okay today and have had a good day. To all those feeling sad, lonely, worried....massive hugs to you.
I have had an annoying day to be honest. First I get a call from the doctors saying that I can't go to the hospital I originally chose so had to faff around at work trying to work out another one to go to and trying to discuss it with DH over text. Then...I get a call from the midwife who wants to book my first midwife appointment (I have already had my booking in appointment but it was with the doc) but can only do it in the day and I don't want to tell work yet, so I'm unsure what to do about that...any ideas?

So glad to be home. Have to do all this on my own with DH being away, that and hormones make all this a lot harder to deal with lol!!!

Eugh I sound really silly, compared to what others are going through...sorry all xx

9am, so not long to go. Pretty much like my period, just not as heavy so I'm thinking it's gone! Will fill you in asap tomorrow. Thank you all for the thoughts & prayers!

Just back from work, struggling a bit to keep up with all the posts! Marie's poo saga does stand out though...

I spoke to my doctor today after my spotting yesterday and she booked me in immediately for a scan - 9.45 on Friday morning. Slightly shocked by how seriously she's taking it, and even more worried. Still, I'm glad she has taken me seriously, and I've not had the experience some of you have had Good luck all with respective scans.

...also, I can really relate to those feeling down. Pregnancy hormones really don't agree with me - I was quite depressed whilst pg with DS, and am feeling similarish this time . It's nice to know I'm not alone this time.

Hey all!

My first ever post here......!

So am pregnant with first little one (early miscarriage last year and nothing since). I am just over 7 weeks and more than a little anxious about it all and have absolutely NO symptoms......should I start worrying????

Had an early internal scan on Friday and they saw a heartbeat and said it was the size of a bean and all fine but I feel no different at all!!! Not tired, no sore boobs, not even remotely sick..... Wish I was!!

Want to celebrate but scared the lack or symptoms is a bad sign.....anyone else the same??

Xxx

Hi everyone, I ve been lurking all week, have nt posted as I have three huge spots on my chin, feel very bloated and generally a bit of a misery guts.

So sorry for all who have lost, fingers crossed for everyone having scans soon, I really really hope everything is ok.xx

I m fine, no more spotting, no morning sickness, no sore boobs. In fact my huge bloated stomach is the only thing reminding me I m pregnant, hope this is a good thing. Elbelle, I know how you feel, it's very worrying not to have any symptoms... But I was like this with first pregnancy and she turned out fine, I keep reminding myself when I start worrying about it.

Seriously though, if stomach gets any bigger I m going to have to wear maternity pants. Anyone else the same ?

6 weeks 4 days with second child

I wish I could stop worrying about it...I know there is nothing I can do to stop anything bad happening anyway.....just waited sooooooo long for it that I can't bear the thought of having to start all over again :(

Anyone know somewhere reasonably priced in London that I can get another early scan done???

Congrats to everyone who has a little bundle cooking!!! X

I m sorry about your previous miscarriage elbelle, and I know it's hard not to worry, I ve spent all week worrying, but if you ve seen the heartbeat and everything's in the right place then it sounds like you re on the right track and hopefully everything will be ok this time.

Thanks turnwest..... Just have to wait and see.....how is it they make you worry before they even arrive!?! ha!

Hope the spots are starting to fade and your tummy behaves itself! X

Lol, and after they arrive the worrying gets even worse, I remember worrying myself stupid over dd s constipation, when she was only a few weeks old, could nt understand how so much was going in but nothing coming out. Needless to say, it did eventually all come out, and I was worrying over nothing.

Wow, I miss so much while I'm at work...

Will definately be checking in advance for the loo-roll now post bathroom fiasco story!

Well, have my first scan booked - April 9th. that seems like soooooooooooooooooo far away! Will be 12+4 I think that is a good time. I really wanted it a week earlier so it was before we went on a trip to see family. But it's a good thing because i hear the closer to the 11 week mark the more false positives you can get.

Still no symptoms - other than the hunger and constant snacking Does anyone know how early you can hear the heart beat on a doppler? Wondering if I could go to my doc before the trip and see if everyting is hunky dory.

Fairy - hang in there! we will all be biting our nails until tomorrow.

turnwest i can totally sympathise about the tummy thing, i can pretty much only stand to wear pjs or jog bottoms around the house, actually went out and bought a couple of new pairs in size 12-14 today. I'm only a size 8 usually!

FC for all those waiting for scans.

29, 5w +5d, #2

Elbelle, congratulations and welcome

Nice to know you're safe and well, Turnwest

Everyone watching One Born Every Minute tonight? (Baby lying sideways) [shudders!]

I wish I could watch OBEM here, but it's restricted viewing in Canada. I did manage to find and download about 5 episodes though.

30/5+5/#1

My scan is 7:30pm tomorrow. Eeek, scared about an internal scan. Are there any risks to the baby? I was externally scanned like 20 times with my first, due to an anomaly at the 20 week scan, so au fait with that, but internal.... At least the man doing it is the one that stitched me up last time, so he'll probably recognise my hoo-hah before he recognises my face. Maybe he can check my piles out whilst he's down there....hmmmm....

Also suffering with the poo-pipes. Last went three days ago, and blocked the toilet. DH shoulder deep in shit is one of the lesser romantic points of pregnancy. Haven't been since, maybe my poo-pipes are still embarrassed. I'm just haing a fibogel, and DH has got the rubber gloves out...

Hello everyone,
Can I join for a while? I'm due around November, please??
Its my first, so Ive been worried like crazy the past days. I've had no symptoms, and I can't wait for my scan, even a date would be great.

It was a big shock, well a huge shock.

Ew

Hi Elbelle I'm into my 9th week tomorrow and only have tiredness, sore boobs and perhaps a few mild headaches! Absolutely no sickness! MW said that ms usually appears in the 8th week so you may get it in the next week or so. What, if any, vitamins/supplements are you taking? I'm on b6 (good for preventing ms, as it can be brought on by b6 deficiency) and folic acid x

Thing is I can't tell if anything I do feel is actually a symptom or me convincing myself I have one.....I'm not crazy I promise!

Slept a lot the first couple of weeks but now not even that. Taking pregnancy multi-vitamin everyday with folic acid.

Did a non digital test tonight to see if the line was strong and it was...Then you hear all about MMC where hormones could still be high anyway.....Feel like a secret psycho! Lol! this pregnancy malarkey is an emotional minefield!

When did your store boobs kick in?..... X
