Commander hoping for a good scan tomorrow I know it's such a worrying time.
Broody I feel the same about the AN thread and gave up months ago because I felt so negative and paranoid compared to everyone else, I wonder if it doesn't help that we're due end of July and feel a bit out of synch - I may well end up being August even. I have resolved to buy something baby related even if just a little babygro after my 20wk scan, all being well! Smile

Can I stick my toe into the water please?

I'm 3w5d today and I need a metaphorical slap. My last two pregnancies both ended very early, just before 4 weeks, and I had the losses two months in a row. I was pregnant for 4 days in the first one, and 5 in the second. Today is the 5th day of this pregnancy and I can't shake the feeling that it's all going to go tits up tomorrow. Sad

I have a DS already, but I had cancer and chemotherapy after having him, so it's pretty amazing that I can conceive at all. I have hypochondriac tendencies, so I've convinced myself that I have hyper fertility and am doomed to have poor quality embryos implant (I seem to get pregnant every month that we try) that have no chance of survival, whilst also convincing myself that I might have a problem with implantation.

It's exhausting being in my head right now. I need a fish slap, pronto.

(Also, hi everyone. I'm quite nice to be around when I'm not driving myself mental, I promise.)

Somesort, i am going to send you a massive hug.

A fellow hypochondriac here - but you have been through the mill!

We're all here for lots of hand holding.

Haha of course!!!
I need some tonight. This wind pain is so bad I even said to DH that I must be ectopic and they missed it at my early scan...
Crazy.

Oh, wind. Lovely, lovely wind. I feel for you. I'll fart in solidarity with you.

I am going every so slightly mad and poking my boobs every half hour or so to see if they're still sore. They weren't as sore this morning as they were yesterday. Now they feel sore again. Waaaaaaaaaaaah!

I wish I could! I even poked them with a sandwich earlier, I forgot I had it in my hand.

Thank you. I'm hoping I might feel slightly better once I've got through tomorrow. If I make it to Saturday, I'm doing another ClearBlue and hoping it goes to 2-3 weeks. Little steps. Trying not to think ahead of that.

Thepurplegiraffe · 18/02/2015 08:54

Hi Somesort and congratulations! I remember you from when we both mc at the same time in September and I am so pleased to see you here! I will be keeping everything crossed for you.

thesmallbear · 18/02/2015 09:01

Had my 20 week scan this morning and all is well. We're having a girl. At least I think we are. The sonographer said 'I think it's a girl.'

Good luck to everyone else with upcoming scans and FX to you all.

Littlelady33 · 18/02/2015 09:13

Welcome some sort and small bear how exciting! I have to say gender curiosity is killing me for some reason - and I'm convinced it's a boy, for no apparent reason. I found myself googling skull shape theory at one point and I don't believe in that at all...

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 18/02/2015 10:24

Eeeeeeeeee! PurpleGiraffe! I remember you too. Wow, we're both technically famous on Mumsnet now, being spotted and remembered by other posters. Wink How are you getting on?

SmallBear, congratulations on your scan going well and finding out it's a girl. Did you get to see baby much? I love the 20 week scan, my DS stuck his middle finger up at me during it.

SomeSortOfDeliciousBiscuit · 18/02/2015 10:34

I'd better add my stats:

30 yrs old. TOP at 14 wks due to Down Syndrome and severe heart problems. We were told I likely wouldn't make it full term. (I hope that's not upsetting for anyone, but it's part of my story, so to speak.)
1 DS, then cancer treatment. 2 very early mc around 4wks. EDD 29/10/2015.

longestlurkerever · 18/02/2015 11:22

Welcome somesort and all the fours - may your beans be sticky.

Great news small - welcome to team pink - it's ace!

Good luck to commander and maverick. Rooting for you here.

Well, I have a builder here doing some jobs - including (eek) painting the nursery and dd's new room. Scared I am jinxing things but quite excited too. Didn't have much time to choose the paint though and dd's one is a bit of a shocking pink! I let her choose within reason but "forgot" to get the purple and yellow she wanted to go with it.

Anyone doing anything fun for half term? I have mostly been working but off today and it's gorgeously sunny - going to take dd to the park, will maybe even have lunch in the cafe there, and then the South Bank Centre to see Charlie and Lola, which she adores!

CommanderShepard · 18/02/2015 11:59

Oh yay smallbear! maverick I really hope you're ok.

All is well here. I love research studies. Foetus was sucking its thumb! The research team got very excited at how clearly they could see fingers Grin I'm now completely in love which means the stakes are now that much higher.

Measuring 9+2 which worried me a bit as last scan put me at 9+3 today but they said it wasn't cause for concern. Back to see them at 15 weeks and that reminds me - still haven't had my 12 week scan date through. Bad JR.

So glad all was well commander :)
I'm excited and nervous for my private scan friday.
I have this feeling that it's my last week being pregnant. Probably just my negativity as always.

I'm doing ok Somesort, still have morning sickness at 20 weeks, and seem to be catching every other bug under the sun (which I am blaming on winter) but I am very glad to be here.

Great news on the scan Smallbear, it must be such a relief when everything is ok.

Hope all is going well Maverick.

Hi, its sad news im afraid. My pregnancy is not destined to continue. It ceased about a week ago, I feel fortunate that as I am in the early stage of m/c I got to see the scan, which turned out to show twins. We have no family history but strangely enough I'd predicted before today that it was twins, so my husband was shocked to see that my intuition was right. The staff were great and gave us a lovely scan pic, it means a lot to have the evidence of this pregnancy. I have also pushed for a chat with a consultant to potentially have some assessments rather than wait for m/c 3 given that im 35. All i have to do now is wait for nature to take its course. I will linger a little longer as ive taken benefit from this thread but at some point shall head to the thread for m/c with the hope to return here again eventually. Good luck to all you lovely ladies and thanks for the supportive messages.
