DH is looking after DS tomorrow so I can go for a trip into York and a mooch round the shops. First stop will be a child free latte in Betty's!

I was exactly the same before my second scan Saggy - more nervous than before the first one because I hadn't let myself believe that there was actually a baby in there until that first scan. By the second scan I was excited about the fact that I was pregnant, told parents and best friend etc. I'm sure things will be fine for you, what time's the scan on Tue?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 04/08/2013 14:33

9am.

JBrd · 04/08/2013 14:33

Ladies, I saying good-bye again. I has my reassurance scan this morning, and all they could see was an empty sac. No foetal pole, no heartbeat. Measuring 4 weeks, but I'm 7+4, and there is no doubt about my dates.

I am utterly crushed and heartbroken.
This is my third miscarriage in a row, and I don't know where I'll go from here.

All the best of luck to all of you, wishing you sticky pregnancies and healthy, happy babies xxx

shellsocks · 04/08/2013 19:25

I am so sorry for you jbrd, I was upset for you last time and this is even more devastating Hmm

I hope you get offered tests (if that's what you want) and you get the help you need but for now I really hope you are being well cared for and are being kind to yourself. Thinking of you xxx

jbrd so gutted for you. Life is so unfair, what a shit thing. Take lots of care of yourself Flowers

So very sorry for your loss Jbrd, I can only imagine your devestation. I hope you have lots of love and support in real life to help you and your other half through such a shitty time. I sincerely wish you all the very best ttc in the future. Big hugs to you xxx

GaryBuseysTeeth · 04/08/2013 20:09

Jbrd, I'm so sorry, can't put across how gutted for you I am. I hope you're being well looked after by DH, and sending you lots of strength & prayers (if that's alright) for your future, whatever that may be. Flowers

GuffSmuggler · 04/08/2013 20:23

Oh jbrd that's just shit, so shit. Am so Angry and Sad for you.

Sending prayers your way that you will heal quickly and that next time will be your time.

saggy I understand, I feel a bit the the same. After my 7 week scan I have dared to hope and get excited (and even start thinking of names) when I promised myself I would be cool and relaxed until the 12 week mark.

I have 2 long weeks until my 12 week scan and not quite sure how I will get through them, am just trying not to think about it.

Just think though, only one more day to get through and you'll know what's going on. Keep positive as everything is looking good for you so far.

pumpkinsweetie · 04/08/2013 20:28

Oh jbrd i'm so very, very sorry for your lossSad. 3mcs in a row, how devastating. I hope you are resting and give yourself plenty of time to grieveThanks

omri · 04/08/2013 22:32

Jbrd, I'm honestly so upset and so sorry for you. Take very good care of yourself and hope you get all the support you need in RL. Hope you keep up the positivity even though it is a difficult time for you now. All my best wishes.

jmf294 · 05/08/2013 07:28

JBrd- I want to add my voice to the others here to say I'm so very sorry for your loss and that this is happened again.
I hope you are bring looked after, and be kind and gentle to yourself.

I've not been around much- in a very wet Cornwall on holiday but having a very relaxing time.
Love to you all.

Pentagon · 05/08/2013 09:46

Good morning ladies, I've gone AWOL these last few days and so much has happened...

jbrd I'm so so sorry...it is devastating, I hope you have lots of love and support in RL. You should be offered some tests now, I hope you get some answers and have a successful pregnancy in the near future. Thinking of you Flowers

anda you're off work - yay! And what a lovely send-off! Don't nest, just relax (I didn't and regretted it afterwards)

omri it was lovely to read how your DH reacted when you told him the news...so moving!

bod you have nothing to prove to no one, if you're feeling unwell you should stop work early - your well being is more important than anything else. I feel like I've been kicked in the groin lately - it happened last time as well (so not a surprise) but it was later on, definitely after 32 weeks...I hope it doesn't get worse!

saggy good luck tomorrow! I understand the anxiety but in all likelihood, everything will be good! Someone else has a scan this week, right?

fod, lowra and birds congratulations and welcome!

choc enjoy your holiday!

I had a really busy and tiring weekend - shattered today! I have my 28-week midwife appointment on Friday, if I remember well they have to take bloods for some tests. I'm also having my whooping cough vaccination on the same day so something tells me I will feel like hell...and it's DH birthday on Saturday and we may be going away for the weekend...I don't know how i will cope!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 05/08/2013 10:59

Dear God! The nightmares hit last night! Fucking great black spiders everywhere! Aaargh!

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 05/08/2013 15:00

jbrd, thinking of you today x

gary, great to see you, please do stay and tell us about your yummy little guy. hope you are keeping well x

i've to tell work tomorrow when i plan to finish...i've no idea what to do. worried i might be a bit bored if i'm off for more than 2 weeks before (parent will be away and friends all in work). what to do.

maybemyrtle · 05/08/2013 15:16

Jbrd - so very sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself x

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 05/08/2013 16:48

Well, I have just been to my booking appointment. It took ages and the room was sweltering! The midwife was lovely though. She didn't bat an eyelid when I flatly refused to be brethalysed! the new carbon monoxide test
She mentioned consultant lead care, due to my BMI, and I mentioned home birth. She was absolutely fine with it! I need to clarify the details about whether I will need IV antibiotics for GBS, but she seemed to think they only do that if a previous baby has been affected.
I am definitely warming to the idea of a home water birth. If I get that far
I have a scan tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
