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.

Thanks all, I've managed to stay strong even when the spotting returned this morning. Literally driving me insane!
I know what you are saying sophia as altho I'm earlier than you, I feel like if I were to buy anything, I'd be attached and then it's going to hurt even more if anything goes wrong.
Appreciate your advice positivity, I've not been in pain but spotting has definitely made a reappearance. So over this!

Oh mate. You must be so up and down. When is your next scan/check? Xx

Hi all,

Can i join? Im 7+2 (ish) and absolutely worried sick :( hoping to plead my case at gp tomorrow to get an early scan and should be able to get one. Just seeing a heartbeat will Make me feel so much better

Positivity its ridiculous! My head can't keep up with my emotions!
I'm trying to keep calm with the thoughts that I've seen a heartbeat, I'm not in pain (had mild cramping at the start of the pregnancy but not recently) and spotting is ment to be common at least!
Midwife couldn't swing me another epu appt so unless anything major happens, I've literally just got to wait til my 12 wk scan. Midwife also off all next week!
Hi Beth. Congratulations... share your concerns and we'll try help

Looks like I'm gonna have to call the stand in midwife, gone from the stringy red spotting to full on smears of blood now. This is really unfair :-(

Oh Lynsey I'm so sorry, I'm really hoping for a positive outcome for you xxx

Thank you eastend. Feel very detached from this pregnancy, not allowed myself to plan ahead based on this as I know if i get excited and it all goes wrong again, it's going to be worse than ever. I really wouldn't wish this on anyone, it's a form of mental torture.

Lynsey I'm so sorry you are going through this. I really hope everything works out for you. Sending you strength and positive vibes x

So sorry to hear this lynsey such a horrible rollercoaster you have been on. You have been so positive & so strong and I know you must be exhausted with it all. Thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for u. X

Thank you jay and lucinda.
Made me abit tearful reading your words. I've always hated roller coasters! Honestly don't know what I'd do without all of you. This smears have gone abit orange now so it's constantly changing at moment. I'm exhausted but that also comes with having 3 boys to look after aswel! Off to bed for me.
Thank you again, I can't express enough how much it means to me to have you all here right now xxx

Lynsey like everyone else i'm sending positivie thoughts for you and hoping for the best. There are so many stories on here, including mine, of severe bleeding and what seems like the end of hope that have so far turned out ok.
Whatever happens though we're here for you so let us know if we can do anything or help in some way

Awwww so sorry lynsey so wrapped up in my own worries I've missed your posts. I am ever so sorry your going through this. Not long until your scan now anyway is it Hun? even though to you must seem a lifetime away.i know it's hard and I'm even finding it hard to follow my own advice at the moment but stay strong these little ones will give us worry until the day we got the two lines until the day were no longer here. I think it's say to say as soon as them two lines appear we amediatly fall in love then worry it's natural. I'm so scared for today if she can't pick up a heartbeat I just know it's not good my infection has been the worst I've ever had and I have had MRSA before. Whenever I go into my hospital for surgery I come out with infections. Hand holding together lovely. If you went to your local hospital and said you are nearly 12 weeks pregnant and are bleeding I'm sure they will send you down for a scan? More than the gp would.

Congratulations to everyone new good luck on your pregnancies and your journeys. This is such a fantastic thread to be on share any concerns lovely bunch on here couldn't of got through it without them all.

sophia wow 19 weeks i remember you posting at 9 weeks not so long ago lol. I completely agree I can't walk past things and pick them up that I like because I just can't get excited. My brothers friend put on Facebook him and his wife are expecting and then a few hours later they put a picture up of loads of baby grows and vests teddies and I like I wish I could get this excited. Once I've had my 23 week scan and please God everything is ok that will be the day I go out on a big spend after. I can't see there being any harm in buying a car seat though Hun as long as they put it away for you until your mentally strong enough to start collecting baby things. As long as you feel comfortable Hun.

Thanks for lovely well wishes guys it means a lot. Very nervous for today will let you know when I get back. Also got a scan this week of baby's heart such an anxious week. Thinking of everyone else going through a worrying time xxx

lynsey sending positive vibes and keeping fingers crossed for you. Hope midwife can sort an appointment or scan out for you soon. For some reason I have a good feeling this will work out ok for you x

Hugs lyndsey xxx

Oh and good luck today keys xxx

lyndsey not sure this will help but when I mc I knew it was the sac - very different from a blood clot. Sending you lots of good wishes. I'm so sorry this has started again.

Take care keys that sounds awful.

Huge congratulations dobby he is gorgeous. Hope your both doing well. -

I've been avoiding MN as nothing to add really and then my AN thread had a couple of bat shit posters and it all kicked off! None of the other AN threads I've been on have gone like this. ATM most people seem to have decamped to FB so guess it might be the end of the thread.

Car engine has literally disintegrated and is going to cost a fortune and we've already agreed a part ex price on it and signed the paperwork for a new one so got to sort that today as well as finally going for my 12 week scan.
No good stressing about it. By this evening we'll know either way about both!!

Thanks lex Hun I've also started bleeding heavy this morning :(. Trying to stay calm.

I agree with sunday I really feel so positive your going to be fine lynsey. Hang in there Hun and make sure you call the stand in midwife or taken yourself to hospital either way you need to get this sorted otherwise your drive yourself crazy big hugs huni xxx

Ahhhh lilliana is it your 12 week scan today? Xx

Good luck for scans today keys and lilliana (have also agreed a part ex for my car so I've just got to keep it going until the weekend!)

Thankyou all for your congratulations. Edward was 8lb14oz, born at 40+2, 6 hours after booking in with my consultant for indution at 41 weeks! Back home yesterday evening after a couple of nights in hospital and just catching up on everyone's new during the early morning feed.

keys sorry to hear you're having such a rubish and worrying time. Really hope your midwife was able to/is able to find heart beat and reassure you. A cut in that area is painful, (very happy to have the good painkillers), hope you're getting lots of rest.

lynsey fingers crossed for you. It's so hard being on the rollercoster!

Sorry can't scroll back to see who said it but talking about 'enjoying' pregnancy and struggling to get excited about buying things or wanting to buy anything at all. Something that really resinated with me at some point during pregnancy on this thread was someone saying although we're not planning for that baby in our arms in 9 months time and trying hard not to get attached. Because we know how paainful it is to loose a baby/babies we do find it hard to think about that picture and see ourself and the baby we just so desperatly want to be pregnant with in the next hour/day/week/month it is something that is okay not to feel like you can be excited about. I didn't believe Edaward was alright until he was in my arms and crying. It doesn't make any of our babies less important or less wanted than those of mums to be bouncing off the wall with excitment before the line on their bfp is dry.

We were lucky to have stuff from dd so although certain things needed replacing and none pink clothes buying for 0-3 months it's alll been just ready to go. But despite that was only that when I reached 36 weeks I was happy to buy bits after checking the returns policy, I still wanted to keep it out of sight. So have lots of bags with 0-3 month clothes with recipts carefully tucked into the packets that will now need washing in preperation for up to 1 month bits being out grown. Last night I had to unwrap the mossess basket matress and find the sheets our before I could put him down. We also spent half and hour in the hospital car park once discharged trying the work out how the harnis worked on the car seat as we'd just got halfords to install it and left it in grandparent's car!

Thinking of you Lynsey

I'm on an AN thread but a lot have de-camped to facebook and I'm rarely posting as I find myself being the voice of doom!

9 weeks this week, although I'm feeling a bit crappy as tomorrow is my due date from my last pregnancy. I keep looking at my scan pics from this time and find myself wishing that everything is going ok, especially with this unexplained "matter" they have found. However, tomorrow morning I'm flying off to Iceland for a few days so that's something to look forward to!

Good luck for your scans today ladies.
I finally plucked up the courage to ring the stand in midwife and it went to voicemail! Grrrrrr!!!!

I got through and she has booked me in for tomorrow to have a scan... initial excitement has already turned to nerves! Feel better knowing I'm going in to be checked tho!

Hi lynsey I think u have done the right thing - so glad they could fit u in for a scan without too much delay. I hope ur doing ok and send a hug. You have really fought hard to stay positive and I'm keeping everything crossed. Thinking of u.

My 8 week scan is tomorrow. feeling nervous as any extremely mild symptoms I had have now disappeared. Come what may!

Pleased you have got in Lynsey, everything crossed!

Lucinda, my symptoms are really mild too and pretty much non existent some days. Best of luck for tomorrow!
