Another shiny and new posifrickintivity thread for pregnancy after miscarriage

[PurplePest]

The new thread for mummy-to-be madness, mushiness and mayhem!

Hugs pocket. Hope the midwife is kind to you and you feel better afterwards. I get you tori. I had the flu jabs at my first antenatal appointments with my two last pgs and it turned out later that is about when they stopped progressing but must get over brain trying to create a link. Am all for vaccinations usually.

Yes, sorry, to clarify, first antenatal appointment was with gp not midwife.

Thanks longest

I am finding it a bit of a cycle to be honest, I work myself up into a state in the days/hours before appointments/scans, then I have a few hours of numbness when the fact that everything is ok sinks in (having 'prepared' myself for the worst) then a day or so of feeling happy and confident before starting the anxious slide back to major panic before the next appointment - it's exhausting!

pocket I had an early scan 10 days or so ago, with another booked for next monday due to them putting me back a week to 5w so no fetal pole/hb etc to see. What you've written there sums up exactly how I was and expect to be around the next one.

I hope you're feeling ok about later and it all goes well.

I seem to have disappeared off the stats list ??

Hi All,

Back from my appointment and flu jab. Thanks for your handholding earlier. All was well, heard heartbeat (and the midwife even humoured my fears that it was just my heartbeat I could hear by getting me to check mine at the same time - definitely to different beats!) The midwife was also really supportive, I sort of thought they might just be dismissive and tell me not to be so silly but they were actually really understanding and have offered to see me more frequently to help reduce my anxiety.

All in all a very positive visit.

Hi all, got my definite bfp this morning. I've had two awful losses so far so going to be very, very anxious these next few weeks.

Congratulations MrsKrios I hope it all goes well for you.

Yikes, threat almost full! have taken note of all stats updates and will post at beginning of new thread.

20 week scan dread tomorrow...

Silver was there yesterday and have had wonderful reassurance. Sure you will too. Thinking of you tomorrow.

Thanks tanny, glad all is well at your end. Just wish all teh paranoia could go away...

Was just thinking the same thing sunbathing, but go for it if you're offering :)

Glad to hear good scan news today tanny, and positive appointments tori and pocket

Best wishes for tomorrow silver

Welcome mrsk, congrats on BFP

Limping along here, feeling achy and broken. Bump will not stop dancing, which reassuring, but not helping the heartburn...
I have made appointments with doulas to try to help with my anxiety issues around the birth, and might even consider buying some bits / painting the spare room ( cannot bring myself to say nursery or baby's room yet) , this weekend, but I guess some kind of hospital bag may be first order, given all of the recent scares! Thanks again for all the support, ladies :) x

Thanks cuppa and sunbathing!
