Pregnancy after miscarriage -support thread- Part 2

[cori]

A new thread for us all to share our mutual anxieties, hopes and fears.

Morning all.
Mygirl- my ds1's scan piccy went totally white (taken back in 91 lol).
It's so exciting to think we'll hear birth announcements soon lol.
How's everyone today?

Hi HK. Am OK today but really pi**ed off about the typical Bank Holiday weather. I must be feeling more confident because I have been looking on ebay for prams, highchairs and other baby stuff!

Is there anyone on here at the early stages of pregnancy? You guys all seem to be nearing the end.

I will be 7 weeks tom. Still paranoid. The furthest I have ever got is 10weeks. Mind you I have always had early bleeds. That particular one I bled at 6weeks it stopped for about 2 weeks then bled small amount again at 9weeks. Scan showed I had m/c at about 5weeks. The others have all been about 6weeks. I have never seen a heartbeat.
DH is quite hopeful about this one. I will be going for a scan on tuesday and hopefully will get some good news.

I have still have mega itchy thigh..... It's horrid.
Have got the SKIDS here at the mo and am going to take the to see Ice Age 2 this afternoon. I am really looking forward to it. I loved the first one.
Who's doing what for easter? How many eggs do you have?

Oinker, I'm 14 weeks today so still in the relatively eary stages. I hope you get good news at your scan next week. I'm very itchy this pregnancy too....don't think I've ever noticed this before.

Very fed up as at work today, tomorrow and Sunday...at least I get Monday off I suppose although DH is working then. Hope everybody else is having fun, although sympathise about the horrendous weather.

Can't wait for the first baby announcement on here.

Bad news I'm afraid......
I had a mega brown discharge during the night. This has happened b 4 and seems to be a sign for a missed m/c. I have no abdo pains and still have pg symptoms but I am expecting the inevitable. The discharge has stopped. Strangely enough I am OK with this. I knew it would happen. I will keep my tuesday appointment and am still carrying on with my treatment. I will let you all know what happens.

I wasn't going to mention anything for fear of upsetting anyone. Please don't worry about me and concentrate on your pregnancies. These things happen for a reason.

Make sure you all have a yummy easter!!!

Oinker, I'm very sorry to hear this. You are right to go ahead with your scan - at least you will know then. Is there any chance it could be implantation bleeding do you think? You are definately not upsetting anyone - if you can't talk on this thread I don;t know where you can.

Oinker- so sorry to hear this. I really hope this is nothing to worry about in the end, thinking of you and sending you positive thoughts.

Hi everyone
oinker- im sorry about your bleeding hun, i have got everything crossed that everythings ok. don't lose hope yet, pg symptoms are a good sign are they scanning you on tuesday? will be thinking of you.

Thanks for the support.....
I really do put on you guys. I have so much support from you lot I feel as though I am taking advantage. I mean it has been endless for nearly 2 years....

Slink, I do have a scan booked on tuesday and hopefully will get a definate result then. In the mean time I have filled out the questionaire which was sent to me by St. Marys. (just incase)

oinker I'm so sorry to hear that, I really am. I do hope it works out. Will be thinking of you this weekend.

will keep everything crossed oinker. I'm so sorry that you have this to worry about. take care and good luck

Am so sorry to hear your news Oinker, I hope everything turns out OK. Take care.

Just caught up with everything.

Oinker, will keep fingers crossed for you hun. Just take it easy til your scan.

Well i'm off til Monday so hope you all have a lovely Easter and not too much chocolate

Oinker, really sorry to hear about your bleed and I hope your scan gives you good news. Please don't feel bad about posting, that's what this thread is for.

Oinker - that's what we're here for. Feel free to have a right old rant! You have my email too if you want to rant that way! Really hope everything goes well Tues.
Well my mam is off home soon so will be able to post a lot more kids permitting.

Morning all.
Wow don't log on for a day or two and so much happens!
Oinker- {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} darling I had this too. It started off exactly the same as the missed mc but then went into full blown mc symptoms. Everyone (including consultants, nurses & mw's) said there was no way a) I could still possibly be pg and b) the pg continue normally. I was bleeding heavily (with massive clots & pain) for 26 days out of 30. Hunny there's always hope. We know what you're going through. Will be sending huge positive vibes for tomorrow. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

How's everyone?
I've been feeling like an invalid all weekend. Can barely move with pain in my back & pelvis. Roll on 28th with the physio. Feel like such a lazy mare aswell. Still totally overcome with tiredness so been indulging myself with shedloads of choc to feel better .
Hope everyone had a fab Easter weekend. love & hugs to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well after being sick the past two mornings I have escaped today (fingers crossed). My mam has gone home so starting to eat healthily again, DH off work so will be doing stuff with kids today.
Oinker - how are you today honey?

Morning ladies.
I am feeling really anxious. I want to beleive everything is OK but deep down feel it s not. The brown almost black discharge has practically vanished. I have no abdo pain at all and my boobs are still very tender. The pg symptoms could be down to the progesterone I am still taking. Who knows... I will have to wait until tom. It's seems a life time away I have prepared myself for the worst. I have to. It has always been the same cycle of events for me...
Thanks for all the support. x

OMG - away for a week and it takes a day to catch up. hello everyone! There's sooo many things I want to respond to but are almost history now so sorry if I drag things up.

Oinker - honey you are what this thread is for. Am crossing everything in hope for you.

Slink - did you get the results back from the "green snot"?

Petunia/Cori - suspect that little one is either in or brimming cos my bones down there feel soooo sore - either of you having the same?

Well done to all those dates.

As for me. Felt lost in the new house with no internet access or phone line. Am now 35 + 1 and ummm no havent packed a thing. Haven't washed a thing either. Come to that the only thing I've done is order a crib mattress (thanks to Cori) and buy a couple of cute outfits. Am now feeling shattered but dread sleeping as not matter what position I try I end up with sciatica. At one point two nights ago I seriously thought I might be in labour given how painful everything was (BH's increase the pain). I shouldn't moan not when i see what's happening to oinker - sorry honey. Cori I completely understand your fear over pnd. I had pnd with dd1 and am nervous of getting it this time round as well. I still haven't relaxed about little one arriving into our life but am also scarred now of the impending house move and of being stuck in a house 100s of miles from anyone we know all day on my own....

sorry for the moan. Had hoped to have a totally blissful week in the new house but ended up feeling a little daunted of our future. Missed not having anyone to talk to as new mobile phone died as well . Could only phone numbers that didn't involve a 0 or a 5 so pretty useless really.

Oinker {{{hugs}}} fingers crossed all is well for you tomorrow. xx

Don't want to tempt fate but have had nothing since that first show. As far as I can tell (unless imagining it) have all my pg symptoms still. I am really dreading tomorrow. I am petrified! I just want to scream but am trying to stay calm and that is driving me mad.

Then go find a pillow and scream into that! I know it sounds stupid but it really does help. It releases tension that needs releasing. Then find a couple of dvd's to watch.

Evening all,
Hope everyone's had a nice Easter, although know that it's not been like that for you, oinker. As wills says, go and scream in to a pillow. Really, really got my fingers crossed for you for tomorrow.

wills- yep, had all that as well. Told the midwife on Thursday that it feels like the baby has a cheesegrater down there at times and she said that it was the baby's head nudging my pelvis. And yes, it is really uncomfortable! She also said that the head isn't far enough down either for me to produce around my due date, so I'll probably be a week late like I was for DDs. Noooooooooo!

Hope everyone else is well.

oinker- its good that you still have symptoms, got everything crossed for you tommorrow. what time is your appointment? hope its in the morning. try and do something to take your mind off it tonight, easier said than done i know, just hope the times goes quicker {{{{{hugs}}}}}

wills- welcome back:) no one has called with results of the snot so i guess i am to assume its not an infection. which to me means its a show. i will ask at my antenatal on friday to be sure though.
quite normal to feel daunted about the future with a huge move and a baby coming. you'll soon make friends when you move, postnatal exercise classes and baby massage groups etc
i am worried about pnd aswell as haven't exactly been a bundle of laughs throughout pg so i can't see that changing after baby comes- god that sounds so ungrateful! im just still grieving for my last baby, this baby is much wanted and loved but is no replacement if you see what i mean.
my magnolia memorial tree is flowering:) its coming up to a year.

Good luck for tomorrow oinker. I really hope all is well.

Arabica, Slink, the meetup is still on for Wednesday? Can we meet at 11.30 at Covent garden tube?( have an antenatal at 3.30) Will CAt yopu my numbers.

Wills, you arent in London any more are you?>
