Staying posifrickentive- Thread 12 for ladies pg after mc

[LynseyH]

New thread.... nice to see it filling up so quickly.

It's so frustrating shine. Feel for you xx

Xxbec, hope your anxiety settles x

Anyone have an experience with Doppler early on?
Mine arrived yesterday and I think I have determined the placenta and myself but I think I have located the baby 2-3 times by the fast wom wom wom noise but it keeps moving I think, as its not been on the monitor long enough to assess the speed, also feels like movements underneath the probe but struggling to get an absolute HB.
The few times I have stumbled across what I think is the baby it's been in a very similar place each time.

Thank god it was just a scare blossom xxx
I'm feeling like shit, I rang and asked could me nuchal be moved forward and got told somebody would call me back which as of now (3.30) no one has, plus I feel a bit sick and my heads hurting, I've took a para and I'm going to try to stay in bed for the rest of the day.
Wishing you luck for tomoz shine xx

Thanks purple, xx

Glad you are ok blossom. Get some rest and take it easy.

Hello, cautiously making a first post here, I was on here back in 2014 when I was pregnant with my son after a MMC at 9 weeks, he was born at 40+15 perfect, we then had a surprise pregnancy last year and I was more relaxed so didn't come here but she was stillborn at 35 weeks in May, we have been desperately TTC since and I got a bfp on Friday, so am hopefully around 4 weeks today, but my tests arnt getting darker so I'm fearing a chemical pregnancy. Went to the doctor for blood tests this morning but he gave me the wrong form so I couldn't get them done and after a lot of hastle with doctors and midwifes this last year I've decided to just wait it out on my own and hope it sticks! So my stay here may be short but I'm trying to have a little faith in my little poppy seed so thought I'd pop in and say hi nice to see some familiar faces here. Sorry for the long first post!

Welcome Alb, your an inspiration, so strong and I'm hoping and wishing you all the positive happy thoughts I can xxx

20 week scan done! It is a healthy... Baby!

We didn't want to find out but happy that all is well. Have the worst tension headache now as was very nervous beforehand.

to everyone having a tough time today. Take it easy and hang on in there.

Hi Alb, lots of positive thoughts coming your way.

Bex, at the risk of sounding like an old hippy have you tried anything like yoga or relaxation exercises? Even a nice soak or a neck rub from your DP? I know it won't make any difference to the result of the pregnancy but I have found doing stuff like that for myself has helped me to cope with the - very understandable - stress of it all. Hoping you start to feel better and get to grips with the Doppler soon.

Best wishes to you shine. So sorry you're going through this and hoping you get some excellent care and good news soon.

Blossom it is so scary. I'm just trying to relax as much as I can as stressing won't change anything (most of the time i am concentrating on not vomiting which helps). On my 3rd type of antisickness mess today to see if they work.

Bec - I got the Doppler out at 9 weeks this weekend as I was so fed up of feeling sick I thought if I managed to hear a heartbeat it would! I found a lovely heartbeat after a couple of days of trying then didn't find it today but I know it's so little it's ok to not find it. So it depends if that will make you more anxious if you can't find it.

I haven't been on this thread for a few days so I'm quite behind! I'm sorry if I miss anyone...

Shine I'm so sorry... how are you doing?? It may not be bad news.

blossom that must have been scary but so glad everything is ok!

bec I know the feeling... I had so much cramping before my scan... how long until your scan?? I'm sure you'll see a teeny wriggly little baby doing perfectly fine!

Alb so great to see you on here! Got everything crossed for you!

Congrats on scan Nasch! You're half way now!!

Got my nuchal/bloods results in the post today, was prettified to open then but I'm low risk which is a relief. Now to wait for the 20 week scan! Seems so so so long away!

Alb - lovely to see you on this thread Fingers crossed for you. My first three days of tests were faint but now I'm 9 weeks so don't give up just yet!

Jpeg - good news on the test results. It must be such a relief.

Sorry to hear some of you have had trying days and fingers crossed for everyone that any niggles and bleeding turn out to be nothing to worry about.

Nash I'm so chuffed for you, can't believe you didn't find out pink or blue tho lol xxxxx

ThNkyou net, there's definetly something to the massage as I had 3 of the kids giving me some motherly love the other day, 1 was massaging my back and the other 2 had a foot each lol it was the best mites sleep I've had in an age!

I'm 12wks in the morning but I'm carrying extra weight so I wouldn't say that's causing an issue with using the doppler but I'm aware that it may pose extra issues.
I think I have found the baby but I think as I find him he swims away lol I think if it was an artery or the placenta it would always be found in that area, god knows!

I think I'll try one more time tomorrow then wait on the scan.

That's great news on the low risk jpeg, your doing so well, great scan and great results, I'm definetly very envious!!

Don't know if you guys remember me telling u about the woman who (if rumour where to be believed)
Was apparently doing cocaine whilst pregnant, well she has apparently gone into labour 14 weeks early and her waters have apparently gone, my friend told me and I just felt sick thinking of that poor little baby.
It really does keep on astounding me how some of us struggle to have a baby doing all the right things and yet these scumbags seem to sail through, well obviously not always, but as disgusting as she is I would never wish that on anybody, especially that poor innocent child😡

for the people in the early days going through the natural anxiety and fear. At 24 weeks today, I can say I've been there, come through the early anxiety and it's got better. Very worth it.

Lynsey sorry to read you've been through the mill, but hopefully if they're clearer now on what the matter is you can get the right care and treatment and mend soon xx

Hope you get seen soon Shine & you find out what's going on.

Welcome Alb I recognise you from the ttc thread, really hope your poppy seed sticks.

Great news on the scan blossom. & good for being low risk Jpeg.

Got 20 week scan a week today & starting to struggle again so been keeping away really. Also DS has a had a massive going to sleep regression so that is a lot of fun. But I've started the reading on hypnobirthing & that is helping. As is the pregnancy yoga videos

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Thank you ladies. EPU said they can't do a scan because I'm only 3-4weeks and they will not be able see anything but they asked me to come in for a blood test tomorrow.

Thanks Jpeg. Half way doesn't seem real! I think I'd better start thinking seriously about things (names, what we need, birth etc) I've been too scared... Congrats on low risk results.

Ha Bec always wanted a surprise. Did wonder if the sonographer knew when he was checking the spine/ legs etc and had a minor (internal) wobble but I'm glad we didn't find out. I'm not going to go all pink or blue anyway so it's okay!

Hi all, I've read a million theads and forums in the last few months. I like Phantom and long suffering had a MC in early Aug at 11 weeks, followed by a D&C in sept when we realised there was still tissue left. I didn't bleed much after which I thought was no great surprise as I'd had an awful few weeks at the time of MC, but did start to bleed a few days later. Which I thought could be a period. I done a few negative pregnancy tests throughout sept which I was actually glad to see and after feeling the all too familiar nausea and breathlessness tested positive last week. I'm now absolutely crapping my pants- what if it's wrong? What if my bodies not ready? Every little twinge keeps me awake with worry- I need to get this under control whatever the outcome! I have a healthy gorgeous 3 year old who took forever to conceive as did the MC bubba so I'm shocked and in disbelief I could fall so quickly again! It's so nice to read that I'm not alone! Xxx

This thread moves fast!

nasch & blossom so pleased you had positive scans, it's such a relief isn't it!

jpeg great news about your results :)

shine I hope you get your bloods done and your mind put at rest for a while.

alb my heart goes out to you, I cannot imagine how painful that must have been. Sending you lots of luck to this little sticky bean :)

bec I'm glad to hear you've had some extra love from your kiddies, bless them. Fingers crossed you can have your nuchal ASAP, it sounds very stressful Hun.

lucky you've been through the mill, are no doubt still grieving and now you've got hormones thrown into the mix! It's hard work :( just try and hang on in there and have faith in your body. Easier said than done though I do understand

Who mentioned a pregnancy yoga DVD? Which one is it please and would you recommend it? Cheers

Wow... So many new updates, new posters and news!

Welcome and congrats newbies...

Congrats on the scans ladies who've just has one. I've got mine on weds and we find out if it's viable. 2 more sleeps...

Sorry for those of you having a shit time with anxiety, cramps and bleeding. Stay strong.... Sending positive vibes.

Badger Tara Lee's DVD is great. She also runs a class in London if you're based near there.

X

Badger I just use YouTube videos.
I've got ones saved on the laptop that are ten minutes.

I had a DVD before but didn't use it enough. Amazon bestsellers/reviews are usually reliable.

It's annoying as there's classes in the next town over but awkward day. Hoping I can go to a regular class though.

The online videos really help with breathing & stiffness so far.

Oh sorry nasch missed your post, great news on the scan!

Hope everyone is doing well, great news on the scans and welcome to the lovely ladies joining us. waves to Alb! All the best of luck this time. It's a really stressful worrying time so feel free to let it out on this thread. Unfortunately we have all been there.

Had my 16 week midwife appt yesterday, all seemed ok. Listened to the heartbeat and measured the 'bump'. She gave me the results to the downs - low risk. 1 in 100,000 apparently. Got my iron levels tested and full blood count as I feel I may be anaemic.

15+4 today.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

Was convinced AF had arrived when I woke up this morning, I often feel like that for a day before it does so it's making me even more nervous! Today's test was identical to yesterday's, no darker, but also no lighter. I no I should stop testing but if it's going to turn into a chemical pregnancy I think I'd rather be prepared.

purple I can't believe your nearly 16 weeks! Feels like just last month you left the TTC thread, so glad everything's going well for you
