Due in October 2012 Part 2

[YompingJo]

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

Thanks missbone. Yes that's right the 12 week scan shows the baby stopped growing weeks ago. Last time I had a scan at 11 weeks which showed baby had stopped developing at 6+6.

Oh bloody hell, Claire, how horrible. Can i ask you another question please? After your 12 week scan, in hindsight could you remember any worrying signs around week 6?

Bubble i'm so glad you're still lurking, darling. This consultant on Wednesday...what is he/she going to do for you? 28th March for your scan?! I thought you said it was 28th. Feb! xx

Glad I am not alone about being terrified of another mmc - in Sept at 12 week scan we found out baby had passed at 9 weeks. Now I am pregnant again I can't decide if this is worse than not being pregnant. Am terrified even though logically I know it's down to fate. That said trying to be positive, this baby due on DH 40th birthday!!

38; 6 weeks; DC2

Missbone I did start to get some brown spotting in week 6 which stopped quite quickly also noticed my boobs hurt less. Don't want this to scare anyone who experiences spotting as a lot of the time it can be fine.

Twobuttonsaway you are definitely not alone in being scared of another mmc fingers crossed this time round will work out well for us all.

Thanks mrsclairemarie, fingers crossed xx

Thanks for answering my question, Claire. Please let us know how you get on tomorrow...will be thinking of you at 10am xx

Two buttons, congratulations and welcome I'm sorry to hear about your loss last year. Do you think you'll opt for an early scan, too? Did you have any worrying signs at week nine? (Sorry if this is too personal a question. If it is, just ignore it).

Hi missbone Am still dithering about early scans, one half iof me wants one, the other half isn't sure it will help! I had no pain or bleeding at or any other sign at 9 weeks, slight lessening of symptoms but I had very few (eg no sickness) with DS1. That said remember more little ones make it than don't!

Thanks, Twobuttons, for answering. I wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy

Thinking of you missclaire and hope you'll be back here soon with some happy news of your little bean!

Morning having a bit of a panic as when I wiped this morning I had brownish discharge (sorry for TMI). No pain or anything but as this is my first & waited so long I'm worried. Read that as long as it doesn't turn red or have pain then it should be ok! Trying not to worry!

missbone it's to check everything. I'm high risk apparently so they want to see me.
I will be nearly 13 weeks at the time of my next scan. Unless I tell consultant that I'm Still spotting maybe he will scan me again.

fairy try not to worry impossible I know. Try to think. Did u have sex? Large bowel movement? How many weeks are you? Could it be implantation bleeding?

mrsclaire good luck with your early scan today.

fairy try not to panic, hope everything is okay.

For everyone else who is worrying, big hugs and love to all. Know it is silly as I saw my little bean yesterday but its still a scary prospect a miscarriage. We all just need to stay positive and strong.

I'm so tired today, I could happily sleep all day but no such luck, washing and cleaning calls. Have a good Sunday!

26 years old, 7+1, first child

8abyDust screw the washing and cleaning! get some sleep! If I didn't have DS to look after I would spend all day in bed today, washing and cleaning be damned!!

Hope everyone is doing ok, hugs to all those having spotting etc, hopefully will just be implantation bleeding. These few weeks are scary

Hi All, just back from my private early scan - good but slightly confusing results! Good news baby (or tiny blob!) showed up straight away and heartbeat was detected :) I'm slightly confused/worried as the scan showed I'm 6 weeks baby measured 0.4mm yet I was certain of my dates and was expecting to be almost 8 weeks (by my dates I'm7+6 today) so now I'm a mixture of happy but worried bean is not as far along as it should be? I'm going back in 2 weeks for another scan after my concerns about the difference in dates.

Hi MrsClaire - a heartbeat is great news! I've often heard people having completely different dates to the scan. I hope all is sorted for you.
Isn't the heart beat so thrilling to see? There really is an independent life there.

Duke - I agree about the scary bit. I joined this thread because when the BFP arrives you are FULL of the news but, for me I did not want to share in RL. It was great to come on here and meet others with the same news and drama in their lives. I am sad for all the ladies we have lost on the journey so far but as some of us joined within minutes of the BFP, that was inevitable. I've been there (twice) and the fact of getting pregnant indicates that you CAN get pregnant, which is a positive. I really hope that as the weeks go by we'll be talking about clothes and sales and weight and the idea of a loss will be off the radar.

Claire, what wonderful news! Strange how dates can be wrong though, eh?

lisbeth, I share your thoughts exactly: I cannot enjoy these first trimester weeks, not just because of the sad losses we've had on this thread but also, on my other TTC over-40 thread, the thwarted dreams and MCs are seemingly so frequent and inevitable. Of course I try to stay positive, and I've handed my baby's destiny over to the Lord, in whom I trust, but my human spirit seems so weak and afraid. In fact, I'm sure this is why my postings yesterday re. extreme sports and pregnancy came across as so dogmatic...and for this i would like to apologise - particularly to Bettybat and Squidkid. I think it's my extreme fear of miscarriage which is evoking this irrational sense of (resentment?) towards others who appear to be far less fearless and far more positive about their pregnancies. So, I am truly sorry to all those I aggravated yesterday with my posts

Fairy, my thoughts are with you at this time. Take much care of yourself x

Zoeplankton! MarvellousMarie! & Turnwest! Where are you....? xxx

Hello lovely pregnant ladies

I've had a nice day in the Peaks, wandered round a nature reserve, tea and sandwiches in a cute deli, lots of sun and frost. Was pleased I actually managed to eat the sandwich as last few days I have literally been eating yoghurt and fruit for every single meal, not massively nutritious... Was nice being outside but I'm so TIRED! Boyfriend is being lovely and hugging me and telling me I'm the love of his life and he loves the tiny baby too. I am 8 weeks today. Yay!

I have felt so much less nauseous at the weekend though it hasn't gone completely... obviously WORK is making me feel truly sick! Not looking forward to going back tomorrow! My current job is a lot easier than previous ones I've worked (no nights) but the days are long... clinics run from 8am-6pm with an hour commuting each way. I have to eat my breakfast at 6.30am and I don't usually get a snatched lunch till 2.45pm... I think that's what makes me feel so sick :( I find if I eat regularly it's not so bad... anyway I'm rambling. Hope everyone is well! My thoughts are with all of us and our different worries xxx

missbone no apologies please, the way you feel is totally understandable. I am a bit younger than you (32) and I know the odds are worse when you are a little older - however I hope in the weeks to come you start to feel more and more secure - hugs to you.

I do also have a lot of doubts and fears - I refused to come online until I was 7 weeks, for example, even though I was itching to chat - and when the nausea fades even temporarily I worry it's because something is wrong! But I try to stay positive - I am a lucky, generally healthy person, and I'm doing all the right things. I can do no more.

Hi all, long time no speak! After reading up on the posts over the last few days I had a wobble thinking I had done too much on the bike this morning! Well this coupled with the fact that I'm not really having any symptoms big enough to satisfy me that the little bean is ok! I've not had sickness nor any awkwardness in lower abdomen since a week or so ago, so hoping all is ok!

Well this afternoon proved that I was still hormonal as I flipped right out at dp over the most stupid thing and what's worse I could still cry about it now lol! Unrashional pregnant lady here! Just the ticket to tell me all was ok!

Hope your all doing well too x

29, 8+3, 1st baby x

I'm back. Some of you may remember me hovering on the old thread, too scared to test... Well, now I'm 7+2! We've had a tough week as I was having bad period-like pain so my GP warned me to expect to miscarry and sent me for a scan. As of Thursday all is fine - it lives, its heart is beating and it's the right length...

Now DH has left on a three-day business trip (which he postponed to be at the scan). We had a row at lunchtime and didn't say goodbye properly. I am exhausted and nauseous and DD (2.9) is napping next to me. But not for much longer. At work Mon-Thu next week and childcare every other minute of the day - and I have GONE OFF COFFEE.

Can I have some of the euphoria back, please?

I just spent a lovely hour cuddling my cousin's newborn (3 days old). Bliss.

23 years old, 7days, 2nd baby.
