Due in June after miscarriage?

After several miscarriages I just got several BFP's plus dizziness and sickness :) ... But I am terrified!! Not sure I have the confidence yet in this pregnancy to join an antenatal thread.

Anyone else? Want to wait it out together?

curious I understand how you feel, due in May having conceived straight after a mc in Aug.

Hoping to relax a little more after next scan on 6th Nov (and get a due date!)

I can't even find the antenatal threads for each month.....

I lost a baby at 18 weeks in April and just found out I'm pregnant again; due end of June. I'm happy to wait it out with you.
How are you feeling today?

I have period like pains... But no sporting. Every miscarriage started with spotting and then pain a bit later so hoping that its just normal.

I think I might ask for an early scan.

How are you feeling?

I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks in July last year too. That started with bleeding and progressed to cramping.
I have 2 healthy children and I remember the cramping and twinges with them early on. I think period like pains are normal. It's everything stretching and getting ready. You could ask for an early scan. How far along do you think you are?

Miz100 · 21/10/2012 10:46

Hope you all are 100% successful and go on to have healthy babies, im sure you will! Good luck!

Its 42 days since my last period started. I am pregnant - I did ny PT on Friday was over the moon! Went to work Saturday and bleeding started early afternoon and is continuing, stomach cramping. Had an ultra sound at my own expense saturday evening. The doctor found : an OVAL SAC, chromosome abnormality stated. I am so worried.

Monday morning will go to the hospital once again. I have been told that a miscarriage will occur. Anyone out there offer anything please?

3rdtimelucky73 · 21/10/2012 10:52

Thanks curious

I have had twinges and also v mild cramping, but have seen heartbeat and am trying to take reassurance from mw saying this is normal stretching etc....

You could ask for an early scan (I had one automatically) but just bear in mind a heart beat isn't always seen early on anyway.

Cross-post.

Sorry to hear your news Miz

spottyock · 21/10/2012 11:08

Sorry to hear your news Miz. Your experience is different to mine so don't have much to offer I'm afraid.

Sorry for everyone else's losses to Sad

Littlemissimpatient · 21/10/2012 18:52

Yes I'm getting some strange pains, not as bad as period cramps more like an ache but terrified every time I go for a pee in case there is any blood when I wipe. No blood yet thankfully. I'm just trying not to get stressed, rest when I can and avoid lifting anything too heavy.

Littlemissimpatient · 21/10/2012 18:53

Never thought I'd say this but I'm jealous of your sickness, I want symptoms!!

TheLastJammyDodger · 21/10/2012 19:38

Can I join the thread too? I have had 2 mmc, one EP and one lovely ds. So this is pregnancy number 5 and I will be 5 weeks tomorrow. I have had quite a lot of low down achy pain, but I think this is normal as I've had it will all pregnancies except EP. Also beginning to feel a bit nauseous in the evenings. After 2 mmc the thought of scans makes me very scared. Not sure when to contact dr or mw. Best of luck to everyone.

Littlemissimpatient · 21/10/2012 20:07

jammy I've been to gp she wants to refer me to midwife but I've asked to wait til I get passed 9 wks. I know the feeling about scans 2 of my 3 were mmc.

3rdtimelucky73 · 21/10/2012 21:29

Sorry to hear of so many painful losses.

I automatically had a scan at 6-7 weeks, but don't know how normal this is.

Fingers crossed we all have different outcomes this time.

Isthisnormall · 22/10/2012 19:29

Hello ladies, can I join too? I am 5 weeks pregnant after 2 MCs, one at 10 wks and the other at 7 wks. Feeling terrified specially as I started spotting this morning, just a small brown amount but is enough to make me think it is happening again. My GP told me to calm down and it is not necessarily another MC. At this point he said is also too early to know. I wish things were a bit easier!

TheLastJammyDodger · 23/10/2012 07:32

I'm feeling a bit down this morning. Boobs no longer sore and some sharp twinges low down. Feels like I'm just waiting for the inevitable Sad

Littlemissimpatient · 23/10/2012 07:50

jammy so sorry it is scary but try to think positive for now. Can you get a scan?
normal sorry to hear your spotting but they do say it can happen and go full term
So far nothing to report so far.

Hi Ladies,

Hope you dont mind me saying hello....I was reading this thread with interest, I had a mmc in August, totally devastating....myself and Dh decided we would wait until the new year to try again as we were both just so heartbroken, but ended up trying once more in October.....so now I'm about a 3 days late (cant even face a pregnancy test I'm sooo terrifed it'll either say BFP or BFN, I dont know which I will be more disappointed/nervous with)thing is I have a few symptoms, well I think they're symptoms, I cant remember how I was with my two previous pregnancies, as I didnt find out I was pregnant with my first DD until I was about 8 weeks, such a good pregnancy, would love to ahve that ignorant bliss again - my boobs are a bit sore and have lots of cramping but no sign of AF, nothing hectic I know, boobs were untouchable with my miscarried pregnancy from about 3 weeks on, so I dont know what to think......really just anxious and nervous and think if I am pregnant it will just all go wrong again....hate this feeling so much.....congrats on all your bfps by the way, really hope you all have happy and healthy pregnancys..suppose I really need to find out whats going on for a start....wish me luck......

Frankly

3rdtimelucky73 · 23/10/2012 14:04

Good luck frankly Please share the result if you can. Lots of support for you here.

I also mc in August, but we decided not to wait due to us being oldies.....

MrFranklyShankly · 23/10/2012 15:16

Thanks 3rdtimelucky, sorry to hear about your mc, its just such a horrible thing to go through, glad to hear ye have decided not to wait.....felt a bit silly trying again so soon, thought it might be the wrong thing to do, read so much about waiting for 3 months..we're no spring chickens either so was a bit anxious about waiting until next year (which sounds sooooo far away!) although even the thought of ttcing again was a bit depressing, trying for our DD2 put such a strain on our relationship that the subject of trying for no 3 was a really delicate one, and then we did finally take the plunge to have the mc was just like a sign not to....Dh is really hesitant, I havent even mentioned to him my Af is late.....dont want any more pressure on us....going to give it till Thursday (If I can!!) and test then....the auld wagon could show up yet, feeling very crampy this afternoon....
