Wading into spring with the all new shiny Posifrickentivity thread. PG after MC? Dive right in!

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

All comers welcome, we're a rolling thread. Newbies, middles and oldies alike, join here for hand holding, knicker checking and general batshit craziness!

Welcome red!!! Has your GP offered you any help or referred you to a consultant?

thankyoy fod - I haven't rang the GP or midwives yet but with my last pregnancy they monitored me fairly regularly I had 3 early scans

Ah!!! Well done Total!! Such a great name - was a front runner for us for ages :)

Just woken up to the news that one of my friends has had a beautiful baby boy!!! So thrilled for her, she lives half way around the world and I was just chatting to her yesterday afternoon. Must have been a quick labour! Her baby was due on exactly the same day as mine would have been if I hadn't MC'd (1 March). I thought I might feel a little sad when I heard their bubba had arrived but I just feel exceedingly happy!

Gosh this is such a chatty thread!

Thank you for the welcomes, and congrats to anda for 6 months!! Are you loving being mummy to twins? The time has flown for me too, and the weeks seem to be speeding up too, I don't have time to have a baby at the moment, too much to do first!

fod do you know which way up your baby is? Maybe it's sticking a toe or bum into the inside of your belly button? Mine hurts too, but only when I prod it, so I stopped doing that.

Welcome red and congratulations. One day at a time...

And congrats to kjh friend!

Oops- brew not cuppa!

Morning ladies

Had a day without internet yesterday, took some time out. Worked a treat, feeling very upbeat on this sunny day today and happy to belt out a rendition of Elton John's I'm Stil Standing for anyone who needs some positivity!

Welcome to the newbies. Congrats Total, gorgeous name! And good luck with the scans today x

Hi all, just checking in to say a big congrats to you Total! Hope you're all doing ok, the top of the list is pretty busy the next few weeks isn't it?
Sawyer is 3 weeks old today and its totally flown!!

thunder she's head dibs and 4/5 engaged so it could be baby bottom! Lol

christine awwwww 3 weeks! How lovely
london I bloody love that song! Excellent break up tune

Just catching up on the thread - good luck for everyone with scans today!

Hi Thunder, Christine and Anda nice to see you all! So lovely to hear the bubbas are doing well

Not too much longer for you now Thunder - ooh maybe we'll have three more babies this thread?!

And welcome red!!

Welcome red Good that you have found us!

Re early scans - I guess it depends how you feel and if you think that it will reassure you.
I also had 3 MCs last year, and even though I initially thought that I'd like to wait until the 12-week scan (because I thought I wouldn't be very reassured by anything before), I immediately caved in when my midwife offered to get me a reassurance scan at 8 weeks. Which I had last Saturday, and it has made such a difference! I was so anxious and stressed since I've had my BFP, and now that I have seen that this time, there is a heartbeat and it's all measuring right, I feel so much better. I know that I'm not out of the woods yet, but apparently, if a heartbeat is seen at 8 weeks, you have a 98% chance of a positive outcome. And it's a milestone that I did not reach with any of my MCs, so for me, it has been very reassuring. Can you discuss this with your GP or the midwife?

Saw the haematology consultant today - all good, I will continue with the heparin injections, and at 20 weeks, I will have to increase the dose. Which means I will have to do injections twice daily, oh joy. I don't even want to think about what bruises this will give me, I'm already black and blue everywhere!

Jbird I asked about increasing my dose (forewarned is forearmed and all that) but doc and mw both said no need in my case. I had that odd feeling of wanting ALL THE TREATMENT but also not wanting to inject myself x2.

Hi Red I had 6,8 and 10 week scans due to my history and on the one hand they gave relief afterwards, but the week running up to them was uber stress!

Hi all

Back from my scan - am bang on the 12+3 I dated myself as :-) baby is happy and healthy and was wriggling loads.

Can finally be added to the due dates list - 7th September. Which happens to be the due date I had for DS when I was pregnant x

MrsG Ooh if all goes well at my next scan we might be the Sept phase of "who'll drop first"! ;) I'm 12th Sep EDD.

Congratulations MrsG you must be thrilled!

Welcome red I had scans at 5,8,9,10,12 and 13 weeks this time at RMC clinic. They temporarily reassured me each time.... but it was only really once I'd got to 12 weeks that I actually believed this one was going to be ok. My 4 previous losses were between 8 and 10 weeks, often after positive scans. It depends on your previous pattern of loss what is going to be reassuring for you personally.

Hi all,

Giraffe congratulations!!!
Red I had scans at 7 and 8 weeks. Very stressful but also very mind easing when they were both fine.

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow am. I am totally bricking it, have no idea what to expect. I haven't been scanned since 8+3 and anything could have happened doesnt help that I stalk the mc board. At least its first thing but I have a busy weekend so please please pray its all ok...

FX for you Allis. :)

I am thrilled yes. Due to complication in DS pregnancy I'm having elective c section so will be between 25th August and 1st September :-) xx

Yey! Lovely lovely news Mrs G

Good luck All will be thinking of you

Not ignoring your questions new peeps, just never had an early scan so can't really advise. I've noticed others here seem to find them helpful at 8 weeks

Great news MrsG, I'm due 30th august so we cud have a race there :-)

And congrats total! Must be amazing to finally have him here.

Good luck tomorrow All
