Early Pregnancy Scans....

[LynseyH5]

Hi there, I wanted to create this to help people who are going through similar things to me. To outline, I suffered a blighted ovum last year at 11 weeks. I'm now 6+6 and going for an early scan tomorrow to hopefully see my baby and put my mind to rest. With zero pregnancy symptoms and history playing on my mind, I've found it helpful being on here and talking with others... roll on 12pm tomorrow!!

Oh poor you I thought all the worry for you was over. I know what you mean though. Seeing the first heartbeat is just the first of many many hurdles to get through. I'll let you know as soon as I can tomorrow.

In the meantime you take it easy too. As you said to me spotting can mean nothing, plenty of women spot for no reason. Thinking of you 💕💕💕

Thank you ☺ my very best wishes are being sent to you!! 💓

Ah no Lynsey, sorry to hear you've had more spotting, just what you don't need! Keeping fingers crossed for you too Peanut, such a difficult time isn't it?

I have booked in with midwife now, just waiting for 12 week scan. I should be 10 weeks on Thursday if all goes well, so slowly counting down the days.

I've never known stress like it! It's all you can think of. I find myself staring into nothing and my family talking to me and I haven't heard!!

Oh no, I have just been catching up due to disasters of my own with OH at weekend .... Really hope it positive for you peanut thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for you tomoz xx

Hope you're ok Esjaye and managed to sort things with OH. Now's not the time to have pbms there too.

Trying to keep positive but getting harder and harder. Dreading tomorrow. Just had a thought that this is probably my last night being pregnant and that's such a horrible thought

Thinking of you today peanut.
Wishing the day away for you so 2pm will be here before you know it!
Aw no esjaye hope your all sorted now?

Thank you arborea. Seems to have stopped again at moment. I did think last night I would have been due my period so could that be it? I've heard of breakthrough bleeding, is it the same thing?! Gosh 10 wks, so close to that all important 12 wk mark now! Are you keeping busy? How do you feel in yourself?

Thanks guys

I am wishing day away for you too peanut and hope it is positive for you

Hoping bleeding is under control too Lindsey

As for my OH he decided it was a good idea to open a tube of silicone with a standley knife - sliced two fingers and split a tendon so he can't drive and been back and forth to hospital with him, feeding him, dressing him ... Good perpetration I guess :-/

Anyway really thinking of you both today and sending lots of positive thoughts xx

Ouch and urgh! Don't do blood and gore!! My cat gave birth on Saturday and that had me squirming. Hope he has a speedy recovery for both your sakes!

He was being a jerk at the time so I have no sympathy for him I just wish he would stop milking it .... I have a new found respect for those who are pregnant while having toddlers .... Although sadly OH is not kept quiet by a bowl of fruit and peppa pig!!

I'll take that as a compliment lol as I have 2 3 year olds! They were only 10 months apart so whilst one has just turned 3, the other is due to turn 4. Plus a ten yr old who has behavioural issues...can be extremely tiring!
Men are the very worst for milking a bad situation, man flu is the worst!!

Oh give me man flu any day of the week at the moment

Not good news at the scan. It's already started to breakdown. Feel ok. Was sort of resigned anyway. Just got to decide what to do next...

Oh no hunni I am so so sorry - don't know what to say xx

Thinking of you peanut. That is rubbish rubbish news. Be kind to yourself x

I'm so sorry peanut. I really hoped you'd get good news. Take care of yourself and please keep in touch if you want to talk xx

Sorry to hear your news Peanut. Take it easy won't you?

Lynsey thanks for asking about me, I am doing fine. Having a few days of no pregnancy symptoms but also haven't had spotting for about a week, so hopefully it's a good sign. Am on tenterhooks waiting for the 12 week scan appointment, and feeling a bit guilty about not fessing up at work yet. I have a few evening functions to go to in the next few weeks and will have to be skilful at avoiding alcohol (normally I wouldn't hold back from free wine!).

Sorry I can't tell you anything useful about implantation bleeding etc, I have no idea how it all works. I am partly glad that I never discovered the fancy pg tests that give HCG levels or estimate how far along you are because I would find it hard not to repeat test and worry myself even more! My first one was an expired pound shop one from my last pregnancy (3+ years ago) and I then bought some Tesco own brand cheapies as I couldn't bring myself to pay the prices of the fancy ones!

They are very expensive! Must admit, I used a clear blue one but that's all the shop I was at had and didn't want to walk further!
Glad your feeling ok. It's nice not having the nausea so just try to enjoy that. I've still not got it either but had the spotting again. Pretty sure it's breakthrough bleeding so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Midwife tomorrow so going to talk everything through with her x

Sorry I've been quiet since Tuesday, didn't have much to say really. I'm really worried about the way I've reacted to this miscarriage. I've actually been quite jovial and other than a few minutes of tears when I first found out, I've hardly cried. I did cry last night quite unexpectedly last night when I heard a 60s song called Take Good Care of my Baby but my girls were there and I didn't want to be too sad in front of them

I know this probably isn't the right thread to be writing this on but although I know people who've gone through this, none of my close friends have. My OH is very supportive and says he's sure it's normal, but I don't think he can truly understand...

hi peanut - go with it.... there is no "right" way to react. And you may find it hits you later. With one of mine i felt a "phew, i knew it wasn't right and at least now i know for sure" and was ok. .... it did hit me later sadly. Also - when you've been worrying about something for so long the certainty of knowing can i think make you feel a bit better.

I'd not thought of it that way iloveberries. I think you're right. I'd worried so much before that now at least I know and can get on with life again

Peanut, I'm so sorry I hadn't read your update. Big apologies.

Don't worry bill, I can't see what you put!
