The posifrickintivity continues... another shiny and new posifrickintivity thread for pregnancy after miscarriage

[charlieis30]

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

Sorry to hear that mummy hope that you get a clearer picture next week

Thinking of you mummy I really hope you get good news on Monday

baby really not long for you to wait now- how exciting!!

tori could you be experiencing Brixton hicks? I've never had them but it sounds how they've been described to me.

Dp felt kicks for the first time last night. He nearly died with happiness & panic/the realisation that this might be happening.......

mslad I have a feeling it's going to be the most insane 5 weeks of my life not even nearly ready for her yet but today we are finishing getting the house sorted and monday we are actually going shopping:)

Hi all, is it ok if I hope on?
Had a natural miscarriage in may 2014 and got my bfp yesterday. I am so excited but very nervous as I've been having sharp pains in my left side since last night.

treacle!!! I remember you from other boards. In the first few weeks (and still now occasionally) I got pains on my left, but they seem to coincide with when I am a bit... Ahem.... Windy! Although I haven't had a scan, I am 8+5 and feeling hopeful. This board is great for support, welcome and congrats x

So pleased to see you cross the line over here treacle Huge congrats again hun xxx

Thank you ladies :)
Eek! Hi sunbathing, thank you :)

Thanks Broody for inviting me :)

Hi there - room for another?

I have a DD, born May 2012 by EMCS. I had a miscarriage at 6ish weeks last month and have been feeling exhausted and miserable all week. Thought I was just ill but the blazing two lines on the test I took last night says otherwise.

I keep going between "this is a brand new pregnancy and it is GOING TO BE OK" and "OMG it's all going to go wrong again and I'm going to miscarry after a scan and it will be TERRIBLE WAAAH I DON'T WANT THIS". It does feel really different this time around - a lot like it was with DD - but I'm absolutely terrified. I need to weld my knickers to my bum to stop me checking constantly. I stood up earlier, felt a twinge were I imagine my right ovary to be and my guts went through the floor (when I was scanned, there was something on that ovary that made them worry about an ectopic but they concluded it was the corpus luteum)

GP appointment on Thursday (I could go Monday, in theory, but the only GP available is the one I don't really like and I'd prefer 'my' GP) and hopefully she will refer me to EPAU for reassurance. My beta HCG last time was ludicrously low (57, at 5+1) and I can't get it out of my head.

Mostly though, I woke up at 10am (yay DH) and I'd really like to go back bed now!

Welcome Treacle and Commander ! lovely to have you on board. The next few months will be an anxious time, it's really hard, but hopefully with a lot of hand holding we'll all get there together

Insane but eciting baby does it feel real yet??

Thanks mslad :)
commander I feel the same switching between the two extremes.
Right now I feel sick (all the food I just ate) and tired but at least the cramps aren't as bad as they have been.

Hello newcomers! So I am exactly at the point where I went to the hospital for medical management last time.... I have been having pains but I think they are just a mixture of stretching, trapped wind etc, I hope so anyway. I have had a terrible week, my bf got rushed to hospital with appendicitis on Wednesday, he is now back home and is ok but I am really having to step up, I have pretty much avoided the kitchen since falling preg but now I have to cook, clean, take out the bins.... Makes me realise how slack I had been the past few weeks and also how much my bf actually does around the house. Also he can't drive for 2 weeks so I won't be tempted to go for a private scan as I couldn't trust myself to drive afterwards even if it was good news!

Hi commander and treacle! Lovely to see you over from some of the other boards treacle! Re the pains, I was having them around 4-5 weeks, flipped out and called 111 who recommended I went straight to the self-referral EPU. I was lucky enough to get a scan (I was 5.5) and saw the wee babe in the right place with a tiny flickering HB. We MC-ers have a tendency to think the worst with every pain but they told me that it's pretty normal to have pain on one side, it's the corpus luteum on the side you ov'd.

broody thanks for replying to me on the other thread. Honestly I keep thinking I'll step away from it, they're all a bit far ahead of me as DD is end July, and all the talk about mat leave and shopping for things is doing my head in. At least until next scan!

Oh charlie that's great to hear.
Our epu is based at the hospital and only open Monday to Friday. At the moment I'm only 3+6 so stupidly early.
It's just these pains are so sharp. They are coming and going though and I know my digestion is a bit off.

happy sounds like you've had a rough time recently. Try and take it as easy as you can x

I'm not due til end July either (23 by my dates but who knows what the official line will be!) and I must admit all the mat leave talk and buying frenzy is a bit like another world to me right now I think it's the mc making me worry and get frustrated with it - plus scan anxiety for Wednesday of course when they've all had seven scans before the nhs one, lol. We will stick together on here sweet, I love the ladies on here, they just "get" it xxx

Welcome Treacle - I am absolutely over the moon for you

Thinking of you mummy.

So on Thursday it was the EDD of the pregnancy I MC'd. I bought a big, posh candle from the White Company and lit it in memory of my lost little one. Felt sad and shed a few tears, but feeling hopeful for this pregnancy. 15 + 2.

mslad umm no not really lol at the moment I am trying to get my head around the 2 sweeps they are going to try before induction the idea being if they work then I can labour naturally rather than attached to a monitor which was the only bit I found hard with DS coz it meant staying still.
Anyone had a sweep and it actually worked?

Thank you smallbear :)

Well I'm really feeling sick tonight, coupled with having an hours nap earlier.
Which is reassuring.
The sharp cramps are still coming and going though. Even DH is worried this time. Every time I come back from the toilet he asks if im ok :p

I'm seriously considering moving my appointment to Monday (hurray for online booking) just to stop me worrying a bit. I was officially classified as ectopic last time so I wonder if I really should be seen earlier.

Should I? Or do I just need to be talked down by you lovelies?

Welcome Commander and Treacle! It is indeed a scary time but just think..today you are pregnant! I was on 24 hr knicker watch till I started feeling movements. It definitely does get easier. I'm now 34 weeks and terrified for a whole other reason!!

What a lovely thing to do Smallbear. It's such a hard day that it's difficult to know what to do. I tried to put it to the back of my head on my edd until I broke down in the inlaws at about 10 at night!

Hi Ladies :-)

Am new to the thread after BFP this week. D&C on 31st of October and first AF on 11th of December so the new pregnancy has all happened really quickly!

Wish I could be excited but am just terrified that it will happen again since the first time was MMC without any symptoms.

Its great to know there are forums like this to support ladies going through the same thing.

Kelly, 34, TTC1, MMC October, BFP Jan (currently only 2 - 3 weeks and trying to stay positive!)
