Sleep I read something similar - basically that you have a slightly higher chance of it happening again. I took that though to be mainly because of people who have recurrent miscarriages, so if you simply lose a baby for no apparent reason you wouldn't necessarily have an increased risk hope that makes sense

sleepcrisis · 20/08/2013 20:52

Sorry I think I explained that wrong. It said you have LESS of a chance of it happening again, not more.

jmf294 · 20/08/2013 20:54

Yeah- good news Guff, really pleased to hear that.

Good luck with the scans rock and sleep.

I'm watching GBBO- yummy cake!!

sleepcrisis · 20/08/2013 20:54

Here it is:

"The vast majority of women who miscarry go on to have a successful pregnancy next time."

"Investigations into the cause of a miscarriage are not usually carried out unless you have three or more miscarriages in a row. This is because most women who miscarry will not miscarry again."

sleepcrisis · 20/08/2013 21:00

I suppose that just means your odds stay the same, but I guess the odds are always in your favour so its unlikely to happen again. I read a bit too much into that, sorry. Boring.

kjh5 · 20/08/2013 21:08

sleep that is great news! So your scan is tomo and the rock on Thurs... I bet we have lots of posifrickintivity this week!
When I saw my GP last Friday she told me the chances of you having another MC in the six months following the first one drop significantly - so the stats are on our side - for anyone whose MC was in the 6 months prior to falling pg again.

IBelieveInPink · 20/08/2013 21:10

Bump - 27 days of work left? Jealous! I have 44.5. Not that I am counting or anything!!

BumpKitty · 20/08/2013 21:14

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 20/08/2013 21:35

anyone else watching the midwives on bbc2? oh my xx

IBelieveInPink · 20/08/2013 21:40

Janie - have you done it properly and taken off all time for midwife appointments etc? That doesn't count as work time remember!

Yep, watching midwives. Love these programmes.

I watched it janie very sad, was in tears

LuckySocks13 · 20/08/2013 22:06

Wished I didn't watch the programme! Made me sad :( I only have 16 days left at work as only work a 4 day week and have leave before maternity and am taking one day a weeks leave too to make shorter weeks. Amazing :) loving all the baby kicks and twirls now.

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 20/08/2013 22:25

Oh wow lucky what date do you finish?

andadietcoke · 21/08/2013 00:00

guff yay! Hope you can relax a bit now.

sleep well done you - good luck for tomorrow

Sorry for going quiet. Unfortunately it's not due to anything exciting. I was discharged at 5pm tonight with an increased dose of labetalol to try and control my BP. I have home visits booked for tomorrow and Monday, and an appointment at the ante natal day unit on Friday, so they're keeping a close eye on me. Still working towards the 29th - 9 more sleeps.

However, I really, really, shouldn't have watched The Midwives. Complicated twins, the bereavement rooms, the lady who'd terminated due to the incompatibility with life diagnosis - really should have listened to DH when he asked whether it was a good idea to watch it.

Chocolateteabag · 21/08/2013 00:17

Ooh Bod and Birds we went to L'Enclume for our wedding anniversary when I was 30 weeks pg with DS. I tried all the food! (No liver but I hate that anyway) and probably had a las and a half of wine through sharing DH's glass (vv classy!) it was lovely but not as lovely as the stickly toffee pudding from the shop in the village which we got the next day

Great to hear good scan news Guff

Another boobage growth spurt - the 32GG bra which fit on Sunday now feels too tight FGS!

ChristineDaae · 21/08/2013 07:36

Good luck today sleep! What time is your scan?

BirdsDoIt · 21/08/2013 07:40

sleep good luck for your scan today!

What were people doing up so late yesterday night?! Tsk tsk.

chocolate I shared DH's wine too. V little sips so I reckon only half a glass! Couldn't face the STP shop the next morning though - we'll have to go back...

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 21/08/2013 07:57

you're all making me want sticky toffee pudding and a 10 course meal with wine!

anda, as saggy said, they all had healthy babies. you're girls will be with you so so soon, they will :) but i know what you mean about the programme...but i just put it down to them keeping viewers watching. how 'boring' to show text a book birth, you know? every baby that was born made be gasp and cry, even DH was getting emotional. sending you big hugs xxxx

sleep god luck today, hope you don't have to wait too long x

i've decided to call in sick today. i am so exhausted. i can't get to sleep when i go to bed, then do finally get to sleep at about 1am, i wake at 4 or 5am and can't go back over. i'm so exhausted. so i think i need a day in bed with my eyemask and ea plugs to try try try to catch up on sleep. i ever ring in sick, i've only called in sick 3 times in 11 years, so i think i deserve this one day. i just don't know how i can get a full night's sleep anymore maybe i should have a glass of red wine :( i guess it's my body preparing itself for times ahead eh?!

Rockchick1984 · 21/08/2013 08:04

Good luck for the scan today Sleep I've got everything crossed for you!

Janie there's nothing wrong with a duvet day once in a while - one of he perks of pregnancy unless you're a SAHM then it's a Cbeebies day :)

LuckySocks13 · 21/08/2013 08:17

Good luck for your scan sleep.
Anda, not long left now. I'm sure it will fly by and as the others said that programmes was just for good tv! My HypnoBirthing lady told us not to watch anything like that! I was a bit naughty and did!
Janie, I've been getting insomnia and cramps in LEDs at night. So horrid :( hope you manage some rest today. I finish on the 11th October. That's 2 weeks maternity and 4 holiday. Also working some shorter weeks before then and discounted the maternity visits! To be honest the travelling , stress and long days are getting to me already! Be nice to have a bit of time with DS before DD arrives too.
