The best shit place to be grads - Early pregnancy after miscarriage - hopes and fears

[Gr33dyeggs]

So heres a thread. Hope you all find it!

Congrats we've made it this far

My worry at 5 weeks is I just feel apathetic and numb. Not excited, not looking forward. Not even fear. Just.... nothing. Constant knicker watch.

Plus wondering whether to push for an early scan and if so when? Losses were 9 and 11 weeks.

Oh jupiter. I'm so sorry to hear your sister is in hospital. What an awful time for you all.

Gr33dy are you feeling ok this morning?

Aww MsJ im so sorry for your sister :(

My phone is playing up so cant read any previous pages it just wont let me go back!! So i hope you are all well!

Ive had another sleepless night, our dog is very poorly im hoping its just gastroenteritis!

MS is definitely starting i remember this feeling all too well before the bad sickness kicked in a week later!

I will probably be a bit quiet today as busy at work and then off to the vets but will try catch up when i can. Hope you have a good day ladies x

MrsJ that sounds terrible for your sister, but at least she has you who knows what she is going through.

Morning all

mrsj your poor sister.

greedy how are the cramps today.

I've woken up feeling so sick. I've felt mild nausea for a week now but today was the worst it's been. I was breaking out in a cold sweat on the tube in terrified I might be sick. I made it into work, still feel awful buy at least I'm near the ladies here. I can smell things really strongly too - the smell of people on the tube was making me heave. I didn't have any of this last time so hoping it's a good sign. But I know it doesn't really mean anything.

I remember that from dd pregnancy genni. Fortunately I don't live in London anymore but you might need a lavender nose bag over the next few weeks. Also make sure you've got some extra strong mints with you- sugar hit plus strong fresh smell helps.

I'm feeling nauseous too but still no worse than with my mc pregnancy . I think nausea usually starts properly between 6 and 7 weeks. That was true for my first pregnancy I think.

That's a really good idea guy I will try the lavender and mints. I think the lavender would really helpn DH also suggested travel sickness bands too. I'm only 5+4 so a bit early to be feeling so sick - perhaps I'm further along than I thought?

I'm 5+4 too. Quite a few of us within a day or two of each other.

5+2 here any nausea is strong. Everything smells and tastes wrong wrong wrong. Bought a smoothie from my fave juice bar, and could only taste the banana in it am just sat in spud u like. . And the beans on my spud taste wrong. The perfume lady in boots made me heave and I'm so tired and lightheaded after only walking about the mall for an hour. And im hot. And grumpy.

No more cramps. Perhaps its the antibiotics, although I don't recall anything last time. Thanks for the concern girls . Im feeling quite sick today but fighting it - got to keep the antibiotics in!

So sorry your sister is going through that MsJ.

Glad to hear no more cramps Gr33dy, hope you don't feel too sick.

Hi all,

Had my booking in appt yesterday. we really tryed to push for an early scan or atleast try hear for a heart beat....but no luck even though we have lost 3 in 2 1/2 yrs :( Im 10 weeks today so have my 12 wk scan on the 1st April so 2 weeks to wait in anticipation!! Just realllllly want to feel excited already now!

mrs3009 I really think its a postcode lottery regarding scans. For my local hospital I've been told no reassurance scan unless 4 miscarriages. I've transferred to a teaching hospital and only have booking in at 10 weeks (nearly 11) and no mention of a scan yet. I hope the next fortnight flies by for you.

So achey and sicky and knackered this morning. I know it's a good thing but bloody hell. I had shooting pains earlier which worried me for a while but I think it's just muscular. Had to drag a double buggy with 2 children in it up some really steep stairs yesterday which I did worry about but was no other option at the time.

Also getting that slightly bloated feeling in my upper tummy that I've had in my previous pregnancies. Which is good, even if it's not very comfortable.

Ooh MrsJ hope you can take it a bit easier than those stairs sound. I haven't actually been sick myself, and yesterday only had very mild nausea but this morning was back to thinking I might need to rush to the loo and a panicky feeling I only get when I'm about to be sick. I'm taking comfort that this is more extreme than last time.

mrsthoree Hope all goes well with your scan. I don't know how it all goes where I am genni you're in London as well, so maybe a bit similar? Though I suppose it depends on what area. I haven't mentioned anything to my gp yet as last time they didn't seem to be that interested early on. If anything goes wrong I know to go straight to the epu, rather than ring the gp, wait for four hours and then have the gp tell me I can go to the walk in epu

Hope the antibiotics are treating you alright Gr33dy

Sorry to those feeling sick , I am feeling sick again today and it's horrible.

girlsailor yes I'm in London. my GP was amazing good I was surprised as last time I was pg they weren't interested and referred me straight to the epu for an early scan which I've got next week (fx). Most of the big hospitals in central london let you self refer to the epu don't they like guys and St Georges so I kind of agree with just going straight there if it was needed. my local hospital won't however, you have to go through your gp or a&e. The whole thing is a ridiculous lottery in england. I was lucky and saw a very sympathetic gp, last time I saw a different one at the same practice who was just plain mean!

genni Great that you had a positive experience with your gp, and of course I'm crossing everything for your scan!

Scan is a week today. Finding things difficult today. Have a thread elsewhere on this board.

My nausea us awful and yesterday had a headache which was so painful behind my left eye!

Feeling anxious today

chasing and Guy, seems you're both having a bit of a day. Wishing you the best. I'm sure you will both be able to enjoy your pregnancy soon.

Hello ladies! Sorry to those having a crappy day

We had to take pooch to the vets yesterday but luckily she is in the mend! Shes had us worried sick so been a distraction from baby thinking. 5+5 and still not feeling pregnant! Wave of nausea when i pulled up at work but was gone after an hour or two..

Good luck to those with scans coming up! Dont know how others feel but when i think of mine it just doesnt feel real.. like its more of a daydream than something that really is going to happen in a couple of weeks!!

Just checking also... when are you ladies dating yourself from? Using O day/cycle length or last period? All my pregnancy notes only have lmp but i know i ovulated 4 days later than 'average'. If i used lmp like last time i would be 6+2..

Amy I 'amended' my lmp to fit with when I ovulated.

Hi everyone, I have been awol for a few days. I have a bad feeling that this pregnancy isn't progressing - I have no symptoms at all and I have been spotting brown for the last three days. I just wish it would hurry up and decide one way or the other! I feel very disconnected at the moment and like I am just marking time waiting for the inevitable. Still haven't told anyone I am pregnant so you lot are my only sounding board.
Sorry for the negativity. I need to give myself a kick up the bum I think.

Sorry you're experiencing anxiety chasing & guy I have no clue to find other threads coz always view from phone, but I hope you found support.

I've been busy today so hardly thought of pg past throwing up pre antibiotics this morning.

Im massively bloated and tired but on the up side, I seem to have my chest under control.

Sorry to hear about the spotting officelady do you have an early scan arranged? My gp said to go to epu with any bleeding with or without pain this time.

amyyy I'm going with mw lmp calculation but think I ovulated early so will see what scan says if when i get there.

Sorry to hear that officelady, hope you get an early scan arranged.

I think it is very hard to gauge exactly how pregnant we feel when we are analysing so much and aware of everything. We worry about twinges and we worry about lack of symptoms even though we know logically that each pregnancy is different. I certainly feel a kind of pressure in both directions - to think positive but not get too excited or let myself believe it could happen. I totally believed in my mc pregnancy so I don't think it's possible to tell from a feeling how it will go.

Sorry I feel like it's pointless saying this as you all know that but it doesn't stop the worry. Just to say, we are all in it together.

officelady How are you today? Sorry you are having all this uncertainty. MrsJ you're completely right, Every time I feel a twinge I'm wondering if it's a bad sign, and then when I don't feel anything for a bit it's the exact same.

I just used a the second digi that came in
