Baby, I panicked a few weeks ago and paid for a private scan. I was 7+5. We could see the little shape like a kidney bean with the heart beating. The heart is nearly like a flickering white colour. FX you'll have the same!

Seasalt, fantastic scan news! It's so exciting and amazing to see it all happen!

Happilymarried155 · 18/07/2014 16:28

I had a scan at 7+2 and saw a little kidney bean shape with a big heartbeat :) we got to hear the heartbeat too. It was amazing!

That's fab sea I hope my scan is such as good news tommorow!!! It's such a relief to see them isn't it!

TeaRex · 18/07/2014 16:47

Nice to hear more good scan news :)

cake got an extra seat on that jan time machine? Also I've just hit the 16 week mark and it's only the last week I've really had no bleeding (and don't forget there are ladies that bleed the whole way through) I know it's poor comfort when the panic gets hold of you but keep strong x

psmith if you're reading hope all a okay x

Psmith83 · 18/07/2014 16:56

Happily and sea, congrats on your scans! Gail, congrats on the 12 week milestone! Thanks for sharing your positive news, it's very hopeful.

I'm afraid the scan revealed what I'd thought: I miscarried. I'm a mixed bag of emotions, but luckily have loads of support in RL and a very understanding husband who is good at listening, cuddling and making me g&ts. The EPU nurse was really helpful and reassuring, so feeling optimistic. Thanks for all the support, I'm sure I'll be back again in a few months.

Babytinx11 · 18/07/2014 17:07

So sorry psmith big hugs

Thanx happily and blank seriously freaking out at the moment DH says no chance are we paying for a private scan 4 days before my epu scan so I am going to have to
try and keep calm and stuff till Wednesday

TeaRex · 18/07/2014 17:07

Oh psmith I'm so sorry Thanks I hope you're as okay as you can be and I have everything crossed you'll be back here very soon xxx

amicablemoomin · 18/07/2014 18:06

Cakebaker35 · 18/07/2014 18:07

So sorry to hear that psmith Flowers

MrsGiraffe12 · 18/07/2014 18:26

Sorry to hear your sad news psmith I'm glad you have lots of support in RL xx

GandTnow · 18/07/2014 18:56

So sorry to hear your news psmith. Thanks

EffinIneffable · 18/07/2014 19:17

psmith I'm so sorry. glad you have some good support though.

and glad to hear that there's been some good news round these parts too.

I've just had my early private scan at 7+5. Not good news unfortunately. All they could see was a 5mm gestational sac. no embryo, no yolk sac. doc wouldn't confirm a mmc but I have to have another scan in a couple of weeks. don't know how to cope til then Sad

also not sure how to get referred back into nhs. hoping they will maybe scan me sooner - surely they can at least tell if its grown in a week. and then have this over and done with.

sorry for the all about me post. just got the here we go again feeling.

Happilymarried155 · 18/07/2014 19:50

effin I'm so sorry to hear that. That happened to me with my first pregnancy and the wait was awful. Sending you lots of hugs x

Fergie11 · 18/07/2014 19:52

Sorry to hear your news pssmith

effin I would either contact your gp or your local early pregnancy unit as it's awful having to wait. Fingers crossed it might be that you ovulated later then you thought xx

Babytinx11 · 18/07/2014 20:24

effin so sorry about your scan hope everything works out hopefully like fergie said your just not as far along as you thought sending hugs

BlueStarsAtNight · 18/07/2014 20:29

psmith I'm so sorry, take care of yourself and when you're ready I hope to see you back here with a super sticky one.

effin keeping everything crossed for you. I would t want to wait 2 weeks either, can you talk to your GP or midwife and try to get referred to epu next week instead? A week should definitely be long enough xx

EffinIneffable · 18/07/2014 20:39

thanks guys. I'm pretty sure of my dates as I've been tracking ov with a clear blue monitor so I'm not holding out any hope.
going to phone gp on Monday and see if they'll refer me sooner.
it's just the waiting and possible surgery now that's such a f*er.

Cakebaker35 · 18/07/2014 20:57

I'm so sorry effin, I echo what others have said that you shouldn't need to wait 2 wks - when I had my mmc I was told a week between scans is standard to confirm an mc. Hope you are getting lots of love and support in rl x

Babytinx11 · 18/07/2014 21:24

When I had my mmc I had my 2nd scan the day after and the surgery 2 days after my scan it seems like a ridiculously long time to wait 2 weeks

Happilymarried155 · 18/07/2014 21:31

I had to wait two weeks when I was in the same situation. It was a horrible week and by the end I was having abit if a breakdown. If it happened again I would definitely only wait a week. I think it was about 5 days after my second scan that I miscarried naturally. Sending you lots of love x

Davidtennantmistress · 19/07/2014 08:08

Psmith, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Baby, I was 7+1 and saw a heartbeat little blob and got a picture. Was ready to have an internal scan as well as I'd literally only just had a huge wee and downed a bottle of water but they managed to do it all externally so I took that as a really good sign as well.

Mrsg so glad the consultant was better this time. And you are going to have the birth you would like. What was the outcome with the m.w given the previous consultants behaviour it would not surprise me in huge slightest if she over looked pre eclampsia to continue on her path of vbac regardless!

Happy good luck today.

Sea so happy for you.

Gail, fingers firmly crossed for you.

Cake fingers crossed for your scan next week.

As for us, another day 8+4 I think? It's 9 Tuesday, my boobs are heavy, my nipples feels so sore, and I feel like I'm about to be sick pretty much all day but it's worse in the morning and evening (read that as unless I'm stuffing my face with carbs and drinking ginger ale) not so good. None of my clothes fit me, my maternity wear is 12-14 (good luck with that!) so I need to buy some more as I'm 16/18 I'd say. For someone who didn't want to get rid of the maternity clothes in case they'll prob be no good lol.

I know this is terrible but given how shitty I feel I've been looking at new prams, I have my heart set on a coach build is that odd? It's the third and final baby we can walk everywhere and I have ds2's old jane for the car/car seat. Baht it's such a large amount of money given I've just moved and the house needs a lot spending on it.

Midwife on the 29 th so hopefully will have some more scan news then but so far fingers crossed all is good.

Davidtennantmistress · 19/07/2014 08:12

Effin, how far have they out you along? Is it possible this is a second ovulation during the month? With mine I had a private scan tues and NHS the weds then in for do thurs.

Also what is your thoughts on sex? I know it's personal but I'm to wanting to risk anything so thinking to ahem yes, until 12 weeks, I know they say it's safe but I guess it depends on your vigorous ness?

CorporeSarnie · 19/07/2014 08:29

mrsg, really good news about your visit, and that you're getting more attention given the weight and protein. Did they give you a date for elcs or is it too early yet?
No news is good news here, baby is flipping between transverse and footling breech based on kicks but plenty of movement. As the days go by, I am slowly growing more convinced that this baby will be born (by elcs I think).
25 weeks today, so a week away from third tri.
Will be a year ago on Monday since the MC, am torn between my gratitude that I am pg again and past the point of viability, and sadness for the baby that never was.
Sorry to see the sad news from psmith and the limbo effin is in, hope your gp can refer you to epu.

CorporeSarnie · 19/07/2014 08:36

dtm, I have found sex emotionally difficult. This will vary for different people, but I find getting lost in the moment when I think about the pregnancy so often tough. Which in practice makes it physically difficult for me as I almost seize up.
Have yet to attempt since the 22week bleed, and nervous that it could cause another one.
Is annoying, as apart from the psychological ishoos, pregnancy makes my hormones all overexcited and I have lots of filthy dreams Grin.
Right, time for breakfast and DD's swimming class.

Davidtennantmistress · 19/07/2014 08:47

Lol corp, I was looking forward to those again, with ds1 it was sting, I had them about, ds2 was anyone and everyone, but the same by 8 weeks vivid dreams very erotic but this time nada, although I did have vivid dream the baby's heart wasn't found on the. Next scan.

BlueStarsAtNight · 19/07/2014 08:49

Davidt we actually haven't ventured to try it yet ((I'm 6+6) and to be honest I have absolutely no inclination to. Pregnancy seems to zap my libido completely! Poor DH. Hopefully it will return soon!

Corpore I'm glad you're feeling more confident
