PG after MC - posifrickentivity, hand holding, and smelly gush.

[IBelieveInPink]

Thread for ladies who are freaking out panicking slightly when preggy after miscarriage.
Plenty of oldies. Newbies always welcome.

Thank you gardenworm xxx

Good luck to all of you having scans today!

So sorry stars and alice

Good luck to those of you having scans today!!

5 weeks today, every day is one day closer to (hopefully) meeting my baby :) tries for posifrickintivity

Happy scan day everyone. My next one is two weeks today - scan doom hasn't quite set in yet, but getting there!

But all being well, next month I'll have two babies. Next month...!

Happy scan day ladies! Thinking of you lots and looong forward to some much happier news today. (posifrickentivity :) )

Diet - next month?! Eeeeeeek! Wow that seems soon, it's so lovely, feel like we have been with you all the way on this one- yay!!!

Looong = looking

Heehee ibip I know. It's a bit of a tenuous claim in that I'm not due until September, but my hospital induce two weeks early for twins, so that will be the end of August.

Know what you mean about the whole journey! The (ex) friend that sent me into a proper post-mc meltdown when she announced her pregnancy just before Christmas had her baby on Sunday. My EDD for my mc is this week too - feels such a long time ago now

So what time are people's scan? Can't wait to hear all about them :)

How exciting Anda, not long to go now and you will have two baba's in your arms

Can't wait to hear how people got on at their scans today

Black holes- please please don't worry.
I'm a psychiatrist so know about these medications.
The sertraline would have left your body very quickly, well before implantation there would have been none around so when your babies heart was forming there would be certainly nothing there.
There is a very small increased risk of miscarriage so it could have contributed to your miscarriage in the past but impossible to tell.
Programmes like panorama give a very one- sided view on anything, I don't bother watching them!!

Good luck to all the ladies having scans.

Jmf - psychiatrist sounds like such a cool job! I always wished I had gone down that route instead of the one I did. :)

It's certainly interesting Pink!! However with an increasing bump I sometimes feel a bit nervous and won't be doing emergency work as its an easy target.
What do you do??

On way home from work....ready for scan at 2pm. Eeeek!

Jmf - I ended up working in HR. I did my degree in psychology, specialising in crime psychology, counselling, and mental health, which was so much more interesting! However my intentions to go back to it never really materialised. Keep thinking its not to late for a change of career, but it is kinda getting that way now!
Can definitely see why you would want to protect the bump - very important!

Garden - eek!

All good here, flavour still unknown but didn't spot any dangly bits so I am continuing with my girl instinct...I will be in for a surprise if they come out a boy! Lol!

Good luck everyone else x

Woohoo garden!!!! Glad all well now where's my time machine to fast forward me to next Monday!

Thinking of you today star x

Lucky are you still feeling sicky? I seem much better today so maybe it was just a wee bug I had. When is your scan? Must be soon? Xx

Yay Garden so pleased for you! Time to relax now and wait for all the lovely kicking and wriggling

Fab news garden! That's brilliant! Did you get good pics?

Thank you!

Funny you should say that Pink the first thing I said to DH when we came out was 'its a good job she's not a photographer!' Ha Ha! One pic's ok, the others are blurred. Don't mind though; healthy is what matters

Haha, that's what I thought about ours too! Our 12 week pics are much clearer! Still, like you say, healthy is what matters.how lovely, good to have some good news around here :)

Great news garden!!

And jmf- thank you so, so much for that, it's made me feel so much better! I had all sorts of horrible feelings last night about letting my babies down and being weak for taking them in the first place I needed them though and they got me out of a hole (a blackhole? Haha!)

Determined to try and remain medication free now; I know the triggers from last time and will try hard not to get there again. I'm so happy at the moment.

Thanks again xx

Thinking of stars, Alice and stitch

Ps Anda- sooooooooo exciting about your babies coming NEXT MONTH!! December can't come quickly enough for me

For all those still worrying about their precious bean...just wanted to help you stay positive. I had a mmc last year and am currently 37 weeks with a healthy bubba on the way soon. In fact, I almost went into labour this week! Hold on ladies...stay strong and positive (I know it's hard)...you will be holding your precious babies soon enough! X

So sad to lose stitch, alice and stars in such a short time, thinking of you all. It's horrible to have bad news on here.

But congratulations garden, so happy for you, you're on the home strait...! How's everyone else with scans today got on?

Feeling a bit peeved not to have my scan date to count down to yet, should be about 3 weeks, too early to chase the hospital but I've been waiting since the 12 week scan for my appointment!

Sorry all, very behind on this today!

Alice - not sure if you'll see this now but if you do I'm so so sorry and hope you're getting lots of support at home.

Garden - great news, yay!

DIY - know what you mean, they are so slow to send out the scan date letter aren't they, grrrr! I phoned up and nagged them in the end for my 12 wk one cos was getting so frustrated!

So growth scan today and good result, I think! I say 'I think' cos the consultant isn't coming round to the ward to talk to me about it till tomorrow but the sonographer passed the baby's measurements to her after the scan and came back to DH and I saying 'the consultant is happy but will talk to you properly about it tomorrow' - so I'm tentatively taking that as a good sign.

DH is still really worried about size (he's worried they'll be abnormally small, got himself worked up looking at the screen when the measurements were displayed and it kept saying 33 weeks when I'm 37) but with me being 4ft11, him 5ft3, I don't think we were ever going to have a giant so I'm not surprised by this. I was only 5lb1 and I was a week late for my Mum and our little bean measured 5lb today and I'm only 37 weeks so I think it must be ok. Really hate seeing him so worried and stressed though :-(

Reebok - same stage as me (after my MMC last year) Good luck with the birth :-)
