Hi Sofia, I think moods are normal for this experience. I think the experience of pregnancy after MCs is so complex, painful, anxious and confusing as to make it incommunicable, even to people close to you.

Sofiaspaghetti · 30/04/2016 13:03

I love that cabinet. Incommunicable what a brilliant word. There is no way to explain it. Time just ticks on so slowly. And never ever do I squeeze my boobs so many times a day in real life only in this Surreal world of waiting .

I'm having a bit of an anxious day today. I am constantly running to the toilet and knicker checking as I have lots of watery discharge and my cervix feels low, but no m/c indications so far. I think I've just had more time to think today because of the bank holiday and I'll be fine once I crack on with school & work tomorrow. I'm 8+1 today and am finally in the month when I'll hopefully have my booking in (16/1) and 12w scan (30/1). I hate this constant anxiety.

lilydaisyrose · 02/05/2016 21:02

Me again. I think it's worse because I'm waiting for some hung to go wrong and k ow that if/when something does go wrong it's better/easier (IMO) the earlier in the pregnancy it is, so each day I'm more pregnant and the potential consequences of a loss get worse, I'm feeling more scared. Does that make sense?

lilydaisyrose · 02/05/2016 21:03

*something not some hung

*know not k ow

sundayraspberry · 02/05/2016 22:11

Yep that makes sense and I think that's how I felt coming up to my scans. Hang on in there, think you're right that you'll be more distracted tomorrow x

Sofiaspaghetti · 03/05/2016 02:25

Hi lily I feel the same,today not feeling "very" pregnant...in that ,a few days ago felt sick and now feeling normal. Ugh. I hate not knowing how it's going to go down. Yesterday had to go in and book my scan at the same scanning place that things all went pear shaped three mths ago...I nearly had a panic attack just being in there! My scan is on Friday. I feel awful just feeling so negative about it. God the idea of going through a mc again 😢😢

chelle792 · 03/05/2016 13:08

Hi lily, I hope you're doing ok. I know how you feel - I can't believe how scary this time is! I hate that we have so long to even know if it's going ok! The waiting is just awful. Every time I feel damp I have to go to the loo to check it's not blood!

sofia I hope your scan goes ok on Friday. How horrible that you had to go to the same place! You poor thing.

I'm still toying with the idea of an early scan but not really sure if I'm brave enough!

CocklesandMussels · 03/05/2016 18:06

Hi to everyone and sorry I've stayed away for a while. Sickness has been awful and I haven't been at work at all for a fortnight. I lost a lot of sleep before my 12 week scan, but I had it on Friday and all seems well, with both beans doing cartwheels in there. Phew! Hopefully I'll be on here a bit more often from now, but thanks to everyone for your support during my spotting episodes. I'm keeping everything crossed that it's smooth sailing for all of us from now on Smile

chelle792 · 05/05/2016 08:19

Amazing to hear that your scan went well! Rubbish about the sickness though Flowers

I fell down the stairs this morning. Having a proper freak out now - not the best thing to happen to someone who is terrified of miscarriage!

mikesh909 · 05/05/2016 10:54

Had my doctor's appointment this morning. She wasn't very helpful. Referred me to the midwives, where the sweet receptionist went out of her way to get me an appointment soon. I'm seeing someone at the hospital on Sunday.

I hope everyone is doing ok this week. The fact that the sun is (finally!) shining here is helping me feel a little more positive.

Best wishes for your scan tomorrow, Sofia. Understand completely how you must feel going back to the same place. I hope everything goes well for you this time.

economymode · 05/05/2016 11:44

Sorry, been missing in action the last few weeks as I've found it better for my anxiety to stay away from the internet.

Anyway, had 12 week scan yesterday and all was well. Told immediate family but still not telling friends as not 100% convinced something won't go wrong after this and can't face telling people and them having to deal with sad faces.

economymode · 05/05/2016 11:46

cockles great news!

Northernlight22 · 05/05/2016 13:33

Good news economy and cockles! Know what you mean, it's "public" for me now but I'm still pretty apprehensive - 17 weeks now.

chandelierswinging · 06/05/2016 19:05

Another MIA returner checking in!

Congrats on your positive scan news cockles!

Economy, congrats on your scan too! I know exactly what you mean. I'm 24 weeks now and, literally today, found the confidence/ courage/ ability to share the news on FB. Confused I guess that worry was totally embedded and I only really accepted that when 3 different people (Mums at DCs' school) approached me this week to congratulate me. Weird eh? I think denial is a good face-saving thing but, now I'm finally feeling movement and lots of it, perhaps it really IS happening?! (Even the 20 week scan didn't seem to help it sink in!!

Sofia Hope your scan went well today also Flowers

chandelierswinging · 06/05/2016 19:07

Welcome all newcomers too! Hand-holding and positive vibes Flowers

CocklesandMussels · 06/05/2016 20:09

Congratulations economy and good luck sofia. I hope you're ok after your fall chelle . [waves] to everyone

HI EVERYONE!!! Sooooo sorry I've not been on here, these last few weeks of ongoing early labor have wiped me out! 6 sweeps in total, and baby still didn't budge, however I did progress a little more to the point of 3 CMS and 50% effaced...

Anyways.....

Samuel Glen Bennett was born via emergency c section at 01.21am weighing 8pounds 7ounces after a very traumatic 24 hour labor.
They had me in labor for the first 16 hrs saying they had broken my waters, they then broke them properly after a whole day of unproductive labor and I started to labor properly after that! Hormone drip was on MAX and f***g painful, I begged for epidural at the 20 hour mark, epidural failed by which point I was 10 CMS anyway after 22 hours of labor. Then, after two hours of pushing that was doing nothing but him coming down and going back up, I screamed that I couldn't take anymore and demanded an assissted birth! Had to wait an hour for theatre to become free, all the while contracting full on with painful contractions that were continually double peaking, and having to resist the urge to push even though he was half way down the birth canal...Finally got to theatre and tried forceps which failed (of course) Final resort, cesarean section...

Turns out that the cord was stuck round his neck causing him to struggle going up and down....so for just how much bloody longer would they have had me pushing like that???!!! He had problems breathing when born and was rushed away, I didn't see him for twenty minutes, which were the longest most sad 20 minutes of my life! Hubby didn't leave my side, he waited with me while they put me back together...i had lost a lot of blood during the procedure, and was close to passing out...we waited to hear his cry which couldn't have cone soon enough, but when we heard him cry a huge wave of joy and relief rushed over both our faces!

He's a very happy little lad now, SUPER cute (of course) and totally worth it all...cant believe after two losses that my first baby is finally here! Grin

Love him so much its hard to describe, when he looks into my eyes I forget everything...and am so very grateful to be blessed with a happy healthy child...

Best of luck to all you ladies, its a tough long journey, but totally worth it...you will all get your happy ending be it sooner or later. Never give up hope, stay strong...and thank you all so much for your supportive words over this last year and a half! Love to you all.... Flowers
