Staying posifrickentive- Thread 8 for ladies after mc

[keys27]

Hi ladies. I am rubbish at this computer stuff I hope this has worked as we can not add anymore onto our old post.

Oops dobby missed you out - hope things start to feel better soon!

I'm so scared X

Keep busy today. What time is the scan?

Not till 4.30! Sleepless night and I'm honestly on the verge of a panic attack I think. Just keep thinking I don't know what to do if it's bad news.

Hello, can I join you. Only just got my BFP three days ago but I'm already panicking. Having a bit of cramping and spotting already so finding it hard not to think the worst.

I haven't had time to have a good read yet, I will catch up on my train to work.

Good luck today obsesed.

Please can I join you too? I'm 36, have a toddler DD and had been TTC for over a year. One MMC in August, three chemical pregnancies.
Good strong BFPs since Tuesday (11dpo) and getting stronger, so not a chemical, but I'm terrified! Am 3+6 today.

And fx for you Goulash

obsessed I send you a huge hug. Nothing I can say today that will stop you worrying, but I am thinking of you and keeping everything crossed. Something I read a little while ago (on here I think) has stuck in my head and I keep repeating it to myself whenever I have a freak out - it is the norm for pregnancy to be successful, not the exception. There is every hope your scan will be just fine. We know what you are going through and are here if you need us.

Welcome ghoulash hope you are ok and keeping calm. It's so nerve wracking but your cramping and spotting dsnt mean bad news. I think it quite common in those early days due to implantation.

I have my booking appointment with midwife today. Not really looking forward to it for some reason. I think I'm trying to stick my head in the sand until my scan on tues.

Hope everyone else doing ok. X

Welcome cockles sorry I think we crossed posts. Congrats on your BFP (and ghoulash) so pleased they are nice and strong for u this time. I had a chemical last Nov and it's so upsetting seeing the lines fade. Hope this one is a sticky bean for u. X

Thanks lucinda I'll keep my mind on your note - that is true after all!! Thank you xx
Welcome goulash and cockles congratulations and you are in the best place for comfort and reassurance!
I've purposely left myself some taxing tasks at work today which I will dive into when I get there so hopefully my mind will be busy until 4.30! They'll be tears regardless of the outcome today! I've no reason to fear the worse this time, no spotting, still feeling sick and boobs still heavy even if they are less sore so I must just try to be positive.
Good luck with your booking apt lucinda I had mine last week and it did feel strange but it was good to come home with the folder and freebies!! Oooh I love a free pen!!
Have a good day everybody - thank god you are all here - not sure what I'd do without you!!

Lex good luck today, will be thinking of you.

Dobby hope you feel better soon and that baby arrives safely very soon!

Cockles and goulash welcome and congratulations, you are in the best place for support here .

I'm just plodding along, 11 weeks today and my 12 week scan is a week on Monday. I'm actually feeling pretty calm about the whole thing, I have no idea how as until a week ago I was freaking out every day. Sending calming, positive vibes to all those worrying and stressing!!

Good luck today obsessed.

Hello cockles and goulash, congrats :)

Good luck today obsessed. Hope all is well!

Midwife cancelled my booking appointment as covering someone off sick, then on AL so said she will call be back after the 15th to reschedule. Bit of an anticlimax. Wasn't really looking forward to it but was half hoping she might ease my worries a bit. Feeling a bit deflated.

Oh no Lucinda how frustrating! x

Oh god - 2.5 hrs!

Good luck this afternoon lex

Everything crossed lex!

Here's something to make you laugh - I realised yesterday whilst I was having my scan (internal so I'd had to take my jeans off) that I hadn't shaved my legs in about 4 weeks I look like some kind of gorilla!

Obvs the consultant didn't comment on it but I was so paranoid about my hairy legs, not about the fact I had some stranger sticking a wierd wand up there! I've just started randomly giggling about it!

Thinking about you lex, stressing for you is helping me avoid knicker twitching!

Northern I'm sure they've seen it all before but it is so odd what your mind focuses on. I think it is a kind of distraction tactic our mind employes to escape the scary reality of what is happening.

I remember one of my friends who was heavily pregnant asking my midwife friend what the etiquette for muff topiary was going in to giving birth. Midwife friend reassured that so long as ones personal hygiene was ok and things weren't too pungent no one would judge or think anything of it. I thought she was mad to be concerned at the time, however I had booked my own tidy up before the planned section with DS. I didn't make it to the planned section or the tidy up. My anaesthetist turned out to be someone I knew from uni and he was rather gorgeous too. Rather than being conserned about the fact I was haemorrhaging or the premature baby I was about to have, all I could think about was the fact that I was naked on a table having a muff buzz cut in front of this guy I hadn't seen in a decade.

Haha that makes me smile!

Just need to remember to shave my legs before my rescan 🙈

Haha muff buzz cut, love it! Can no longer easily see my fanjo and am only 25 weeks so this is becoming a concern for me too!!

Very best of luck lex.

Hi everyone, love the muff buzz cut Goulash!
Finally got my booking app out of the way this week and got my scan letter today, it's April fools day (sometimes feel like my life is a bad sitcom)!
Feeling quite nervous as will have to go on my own so DH can watch the kids as it's Easter hols, had such a bad sinus cold this week it kinda masked my symptoms and took my mind off things. I've only told one of my closest friends and she asked me today how far along I am, it totally freaked me out as I am trying not to think of it as a reality yet until I know I'm not going to lose it, starting to think I may never reach that point.
