[charlieis30]

Here is to us all having uneventful and smooth pregnancies, with healthy and happy babies!

Glad you're home, baby. Hope you stay pain free and out if hospital for a while x

Woohoo, great news sunbathing!!

Great news sunbathing! Congratulations on your little girl.

Hugs baby. That sounds rough. X

Great news sunbathing and contacts thegirl - until either of us are told otherwise we share a due date! I'm the most sick I've felt today at 11+6 - although I feel awful I'm not complaining as ahead of my second scan any lessening of symptoms just causes panic

*congrats

Fab news sunbathing

Awwww congrats sunbathing!! Bring on the Pink Xx

Hi ladies.

I have to leave this thread - had follow up scan this morning at 8+5 after my first one 2 weeks ago when we saw a heartbeat. The baby has died. Sac still intact but now no heartbeat.

After seeing a hb only 2 weeks ago we are beyond devastated. 3rd mc in a row. Can't believe it.

ERPC scheduled for Friday morning.

Our hearts are broken.

Wishing you ladies all the best and happy healthy uneventful pregnancies. I hope one day I will be back on this thread - but at the moment I don't have much positivity

Oh brummie as another multiple MC-sufferer I really really feel for you. Can you get them to test the baby after your ERPC? I paid to have the test done privately at mine (MC2) which I didn't know was an option, it cost about 250 but give it found a problem (trisomy) it was very reassuring in a screwed up way. You have to ask a lot, really push for it but they will do it! xx

Brummie I am so sorry. What awful news.

I agree with charlie. You should be entitled to testing on the NHS after 3 and testing on the foetus will tell you if it is a chromosomal abnormality, which will likely not recur, or some other cause, which should be investigated and treated.

When you feel able you'd be more than welcome over on the recurrent miscarriage support thread. There are some lovely ladies over there who understand what you're going through, as well as positive stories of hope after the pain and lots of good advice. It's been a lifesaver for me.

Oh Brummy I am so sorry. Life really is so unfair and shit at times. Will you be getting any tests this time? Take care of yourself

Thanks ladies. Worcester Hospital have been great, they started the referral process this morning for me to see the Consultant Gynaecologist and he specialises in early pregnancy and recurrent mc. I was actually going to pay to see him privately after number 2 but fell pregnant again.

The sad irony is I still get to see him but won't have to pay

I still feel pregnant but it was explained that I actually am as everything is still intact just no heartbeat.

I saw it on DP's face before Sonographer said anything. And her silence spoke volumes. My DP's hand started shaking when he was holding my hand - and I knew. The panic and fear rose up through me and she said "those words"

Just feel broken, a feeling I know you all know. Thank you for your kind words

Brummie I'm so very sorry. I'm glad to hear that you'll see a specialist now and I hope get some answers. X

brummie really really sorry to hear that... sending you massive hugs! Do get them to do all the tests necessary and to prescribe you all the 'just in case' stuff, even if they don't find anything. That was the case with me but I took vit D, double folic acid, aspirin and progesterone (also has acupuncture) - not sure exactly which part of those it was, but it worked. Best wishes for much better news for you in 2015! X

Brummie so sorry to hear your news :( x

oh brummie I really feel for you. After baby #2's HB stopped I still had morning sickness until a few day after the ERPC. It's just awful, I honestly thought I was going to lose my sh*t completely. If you're not already I recommend finding a counsellor, mine did an amazing job getting me through the period and is still very helpful now I'm pregnant again. As ours was a trisomy we decided just to try again but I did a lot of the things others mentioned: the expensive pregnacare plus extra folic, coQ-10, and lots of acupuncture and massage.
We're all feeling for you. xx

brummie, I am so so sorry to hear your sad news. You must be beyond devastated. Such a cruel life. Look after yourself and take time to grieve xx

Just as an aside, I didn't have to ask for testing after my mva, they took the tissue and sent a letter a few weeks later to say it was normal. Maybe that's just my hospital being unusually good...

Brummie I'm so very very sorry. I'm really pleased the hospital have started the process of investigating but so sad you've had to go down that route. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your partner. I hope you both get the support you need for the next part of the journey and that 2015 ends in a much more positive way than 2014

So sorry brummie sending big hugs hope you are getting lots of rl cuddles and support and that you get answers quickly
