Thanks firststar. I am a bit nervous as I haven't felt any movement since Sunday, but it's sporadic at best. The scan is late afternoon, so will probably post on Thursday. Will try and post tomorrow if I can get my home computer to work!!

Have a good evening everyone!

Mumpbump · 20/03/2007 17:03

X-post - thanks to you too, Glimmer for your good wishes...

Herby, I know exactly what you mean. I'd advise you to take a book or something as the worst bit for me was sitting in the waiting room, remembering the last time - a book might take your mind off it, even if its just for 5 or 10 mins...? I know its hard but just try to imagine yourself walking out of there with a picture of your beanie and a smile on your face!

I was off work again today, getting really worried about how we're going to make ends meet now, let alone when baby comes! Hopefully going back tomorrow... (I hope so as my Mum is getting annoyed with me now!)

Does anybody know if vimto is any good in pg? I've just tried the new orange one but didn't realise that its packed with 'herbs and spices' which could be a good thing or a bad thing!?

Thank you again for all your words of encouragement, this place is excellent!

Hope the scans go well tomorrow xx

I've actually got a meeting in Peterborough all morning, and won't get back to London until five mins before my appointment! The ensuing rush from Kings Cross to Harley Street should keep my mind off it... though wont be much fun with the requisite full bladder!

Hillbilly · 20/03/2007 19:49

Good luck Herba and Mumpbump on your scans tomorrow. Herba do you mind me asking which clinic you are using in Harley St? I had my early scan at the Fetal Medicine Centre, Harley St and thought they were great there. Now have a choice of having my integrated nuchal scan at Queeen Charlottes or at FMC.......

PLP - Vimto - yummy - no idea if it's good or bad but haven't had it in years and really fancy some now!

Good Luck for today Herby, sending you many positive vibes. I had my scan last tuesday and am overjoyed to say, that this time round I saw a heartbeat and waving arms and legs, was so relieved, I am sure you will be fine today.

Good vibes being sent to anyone else having scans today or this week

Great news MrsFish -- congrats!
Mumpbump and herba I second PurpleLostrincess suggestion to bring something to read although I personally think the situation calls for some trashy magazine on stars etc :-) Books can't keep my attention in these situtaions.

Mumpbump · 21/03/2007 11:22

Morning all! Feeling less tired today, but still can't concentrate on work as I'm too preoccupied with this afternoon. Roll on 13:00 when I shall be heading for the door...

herbaceous · 21/03/2007 17:55

Sad news girls. The scan showed the baby had died a few days after my last scan. Nightmare scenario. I can't really believe it. So much for Dr Shehata's magic tablets.

I've got the ERPC tomorrow. Might all begin to sink in more then.

Hope everyone else is OK...

ejt1764 · 21/03/2007 18:01

oh herb - thinking of you and yours. Hope you heal well.

gemmamc · 21/03/2007 18:29

oh, herb....I'm so sorry. That's just so unfair. I struggle to find the right words, and I hope I say the right thing. I really, really feel sad, and hope that you'll recover as soon as possible from the shock. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Take care of yourself and get lots of cuddles from your dp.

fettle · 21/03/2007 18:46

Oh Herby - i'm so sorry. Words can't express the sorrow of another mc. Look after yourself.

take care
xx

PurpleLostPrincess · 21/03/2007 19:24

Oh no, how awful, you poor thing. Hope the ERPC goes as well as can be expected and that you recover quickly. (((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

Glimmer · 21/03/2007 19:51

Oh herba -- I am so so sorry. Your previous posts sounded so strong and optimistic. Will they investigate what went wrong? I really don't know what to say only that I am very, very sorry. Let us know how you do. You could also join us on the limbo thread (under pregnancy) where a few of us have recently misscarried (after bleeding) and will go through similar emotions and you might. I wish you much much strenth.

rubles · 21/03/2007 21:02

Herbalicious that's awful. As you said, it is the nightmare scenario. I'm so sorry.
xxxxxxxx

Mumpbump · 22/03/2007 09:14

Herby - I am so, so sorry to hear your news. I was really hoping that everyone would have good scan results from yesterday. I cannot imagine how you are feeling, but hope to see you on this thread again with more success next time. I know this is a stupid question at a time like this, but what are overactive NK cells? Is it something that they can sort out for you? Thinking of you with great sadness today...

Mumpbump · 22/03/2007 09:16

Didn't want to put this in the last post, but my scan was okay and my dad and I could see the baby waving its arms and legs and see the heartbeat. Will post a bit more later...

Glimmer · 22/03/2007 09:23

Mumbump -- that's great news. Nobody knows better than us how fine the line between life and death is. As sad as we are for herba as happy we are for you!!!! This is fantastic news and we need those to keep our spirirts up and not give up!

Too right - he kept on muttering about how they didn't have scans when my mum was pg and how amazing it all was. It was nice because I think it made me appreciate just how amazing it is to be able to see what's going on inside...

rubles · 22/03/2007 10:12

Mumpbump that's wonderful news. How big was he/she? Mine was 5.5cm and I often stare at a ruler and am amazed at how small that is and yet how perfectly formed they are then.

Fettle - one day to go lovey.

A weird thing happened to me last night. Dp is under stress, and sometimes when stressed he sleep walks/talks/fights. Well last night he jumped up and leaned on my lower belly with one hand with all his weight and with the other hand was reaching up in the air to a man or something like that. I tried with all I could to lift him off shouting 'you're leaning on my tummy!' but he could not hear me as he was still in his dream so was talking rubbish about getting the man and carried on reaching. I managed to take the worst of the pressure off me but I still felt worried this morning. He was mortified and couldn't remember anything this morning when I told him, but I still felt so angry at him. It's tricky because he is not to blame so I don't really have anyone to be angry at.
