PG after MC: sticking with posifrickintivity - today we are pregnant

[ChristineDaae]

Over this way ladies....!

So I finished the last thread by accident apologising for my awful typing skills! Sorry!
If anyone is on a real computer please feel free to add our stats list

I'm so sorry jazzyjenbo I was advised to wait one cycle before trying again. Do take a pregnancy test after a few weeks to be sure it is negative. You sholdd have been told that but I wasn't. Take care.

I was told to wait one cycle too. We did and got lucky second cycle of trying. I think you are supposed to wait one cycle for dating purposes.

I think it depends on were you live but I was allowed an early scan at 6 weeks for reassurance. Having a private scan this week as well as I'm still paranoid (although all appears to be going well so far) am 9+1 now

You ok Fod?

Welcome foxsticks and fabulous to see you back here JBrd! I have my fingers crossed for both of you. Just take it one day at a time for now, be happy with small milestones and try not to think too far in advance.

Sorry to hear about your MMC jazzy, that really sucks. Take heart from the fact that many of us on here have been in similar situations and are now pg again. You might want to join the posifrickingtivity thread on the conception boards for some great support and advice on trying again.

Hope there has not been bloodshed at the in laws fod...

(loving the burns night emoticons )

Oops. DH left half a box of Roses with me half an hour ago and told me not to eat them all. There are now four left. And I want to eat them...

Congratulations fox and welcome

Jazzy, so sorry to hear about you mmc take care of yourself

I had a scan Friday pm as I was in such a panic about loss of symptoms. Everything is fine, heartbeat strong and measuring spot on 7 weeks (although from another angle it was slightly less, but this is normal---right????)

saggy and penguin sorry I was livid it was either scream on here or involve the emergency services FIL has decided to add insult to injury by inviting himself around the house, standing in our living and making comments like "it's like a doss house here!" Then he proceeded to follow DD into to kitchen who was washing the Sunday lunch dishes and question loudly what was in the baking tray, my DD told him that it was what the roast potatoes were cooked in.... He then decided to tell her and DH that it should be lined with foil so that the foil can be discarded after use!!!!

Neither FIL or DH has ever cooked in their sodding life! Regardless of the use of foil or not there would still be herbs and oil in the bloody tray anyway as I season and baste!! Ignorant, set in their ways bastards!

I felt like ripping his head off! It's a Bloody Sunday and after cooking a roast at 32wks with pissing SPD yes I decided to chill out and watch television... Grrrrrr I'm literally at breaking point and can foresee criticism on the increase when LO arrives (it's his first grandchild)

Sorry very self indulgent but it's been one of those weekends ;(

Fod We are about the same stage. Ive been on an even keel until just recently. In the last week or so, Ive become completely irrational at times, incoherent at others. How DP still has his bollocks attached I have no idea! if he mentions that fucking pram one more time he might lose them after all!
You aren't alone, I think this is just where we are at. And the fact that your FIL sounds like an utter dick will just be making it worse! {{{hug}}} Not long now.

Welcome foxsticks & congrats on your bfp. It's hard to get through the early days but just take one day at a time. An early scan before 12 wks helps if you can afford a private one or get one at epu.

Jazzy sorry about your mc. Yes normally the advice is to wait one cycle.

Allsgood congrats on your good scan. Hopefully you can relax a little about the symptoms now.

Fod sorry to hear you're having a nightmare with the inlaws.

fod I am constantly amazed how insensitive inlaws can be. would they say these things to other people? probably not, so why say it to you

I am 21 weeks today and suddenly have a proper recognisable bump. I keep catching myself in the mirror and thinking is that me? also felt first proper kick in the bath on Saturday which was exciting. h
we have gone into speed nesting mode, all sorts of things to do before he arrives!

have a happy Monday all!

Hello fox, and huge welcomes! I had a scan at 8 weeks, and it helped a lot (for about a week), then I had more anxiety until the 12 weeks scan (at 13 weeks I think), then that worked well for about two weeks, then anxiety until the 20 weeker, so it's swings and roundabouts. I'd recommend it as I couldn't have tolerated wondering if I just had a sac, or nothing at all, until 12 weeks, so it did help somewhat.
xxxxxxx

Welcome too, allisgood, and glad the scan went as ok as these things can. Lots of handholding on this thread available x

Hi Fox glad I'm not the only newbie anymore ! I'm due around the same time as you are...
Ask you midwife or GP if they can arrange an early reassurance scan for you - I got that last time at 7 weeks, my midwife was very efficient.

Got my GP appointment later today, to get the progesterone and the heparin. Just wish that there was something more they can do at this stage... It's just waiting, waiting, waiting.
And on top of it all, I have an awful tooth/jaw ache, which is driving me mental. The earliest my dentist could slot me in was tomorrow morning, and I'm already freaking out about the amount of paracetamol that I have been taking over the last couple of days!

Those of you early ladies - have you made your booking in appointment with the midwife yet? I'm hoping to be 7 weeks on Wednesday and I have my first scan on Friday. Last time I had my booking in appointment all ready but I haven't contacted them this time.

Waves slightly nervous hello ... may I join?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant following 3 losses in 1 year (2 x natural losses 6-7 weeks, 1 x ERPC on a suspected partial molar it was a MMC but I was being scanned from week 5 following a GP's over-eager early scan referral so watched it all unfold). I am under the care of St Mary's, who give me 65-70% odds per pregnancy (depending on who you talk to!) with aspirin and clexane daily. I've had 1 good scan so far (last week) with a HB and no obvious causes for concern.

Nevertheless I am very anxious daft and superstitious and have gone through phases of thinking travelling to zone 1 will cause a loss (pretty tricky to avoid it as St Mary's is there), being too positive will cause a loss by tempting fate etc'. Forcing myself to come here and slay that demon!

Today I am fretting because I had a simply terrible weekend with exhaustion, boob pain and nausea ... but today just a whiff of a sicky moment at about 7am and I have to give a good poke to get the same level of sore boob as woke me up when I rolled over 3am! I know these things vary with everything from time of day to water drunk... I know I'm not bleeding etc'

Just thinking this is the board to be on where I wont seem like a rampant loony about baby making, I'll still sound like one generally.

hi squiz Glad you found your way here, too! Happy to help you slay your demons I think your symptoms being all over the place sounds about right for 7 weeks! I remember not being able to get out of bed because of sickness when pg with DS one day, and the next day I'd go to the gym, meet friends, go shopping without any problems at all. Anything is possible!

Cybercat Where I live, you need to put your name down at the GP surgery when you get a BFP, and then the midwife will contact you in due time to arrange the booking appointment. Usually, it's around 8 weeks, give or take.

The problem is that here it's the midwife who arranges all the scans and referrals etc., so even though I would prefer to have the appointment later (when I know it's actually going somewhere), I can't push it back if I want my scan(s) on time.
It doesn't bother me too much, apart from the fact that I now have filled out that massive pack of forms for the booking 3 times, only for it all to then go pear-shaped. Insult to injury...
I'll be picking up the forms from the GP again today, and unless they have changed anything massively, I will be re-using the form I filled in last time, do some crossing-out/re-writing of dates and just add stuff...

4+1 today. This is going to be a looooonnnnggg wait

Thanks ladies your all fab!!

I have a query.. I was at working going through a test paper with a student when I felt whaf cab only be described as constipation like symptoms, it got so bad I had to get up to try and walk it off... Then as I got up my 'under carriage' was in unbearable pain! I struggled to walk ;( there was a tightening around my abdomen and then it died off, I went to the loo thinking it must be constipation but my stools were soft (TMI - sorry) I should have attended a meeting at work but emailed them to say I daren't risk nor going home - I thought if I left it any longer I wouldn't be able to drive home!

Does this sound familiar?

fod I get this all the time - I'm not constipated as such but because the bubba is taking up so much space all my organs (and intestines) are squished up which means my digestive system just isn't functioning as efficiently as it used to and I'm more blocked up than I usually am (how lovely). This causes me to go into spasm every now and then and I usually find that makes the Braxton hicks kick in ( that'll be the tightening around the abdomen). I get BH 4/5 times a day of I over exert myself or if I ignore my full bladder for any length of time. SPD doesn't make the whole experience any easier. In short it's nothing to worry about!

Isn't pregnancy a joy!

Welcome all newbies! Glad to see so many of you :) hope you all have smooth rides. We all worried like crazy in the first few weeks but chatting about it on here does help stop you from going insane...

I've never had BH with my other pregnancies, and I had soft stools ;( also my knickers were very wet... So now I'm googling water breaking crickey

Squiz, I am 7 weeks too and I am feeling the same. It's freaking me out! Earlier today I had resigned myself to another mmc (despite seeing a hb Friday) because I wasn't feeling too bad. Tonight I am doing everything I can to stop myself being sick but I also think "I've felt worse than this" and a fresh wave of panic hits. I have 2 DD so maybe this is a boy??!!
