Staying posifrickentive- Thread 14 for ladies pg after mc

[LynseyH]

This is last time I'll be able to start up a new thread...so here we go ladies!!!

Bleurgh, I feel nauseous.

Is this the start of it for the next godknowshowmany weeks???

Morning beans, I only had mild nauseau on and off over the first trimester which eased off around 10 weeks so you might be lucky. I still get the odd wave now and again but have not actually vomitted once.

Just make sure you keep eating as everyone seems to say an empty stomach makes it worse.

Beans - to echo I'mgonna, eating little savoury snacks between meals helped my nausea a huge amount.

Popcorn great news about the harmony results! We're doing the test on Thursday. How long did it take for the results to come through?

I have finally succumbed to the cold that DD and DH have been toting around for the last two weeks. Feel like shite and have an all day meeting and late finish... I just want a duvet day, I know I could take one but my guilt at taking time off work makes it hardly worth it

Morning all...

Congrats to all who have had positive scans and tests 😊

Say I hope your cold goes quickly.

I'm feeling really nauseous this morning. Willing more symptoms along. I really need to clean my house, I don't know what my dh and dd's did when I was at work yesterday evening but there seems to have been a bread explosion around the dining table. They have all succumbed to blindness as none of them saw it and my poor cats have been giving the blame for it!

My poor SIL is in the hospital too and I'm really worried about her. She's is pg with fraternal twin boys and apparently has a sever uti. She can't keep anything down and is in agony. I'm stuck in Leicester and she's in Lincoln hospital. If I can bare the car movement later on I might venture to see her!

Morning all! How is everyone? I am sick as a dog this morning and just had to swiftly remove my Baby on Board badge when I saw one of the school mums on the platform. I'm just coming up to 10 weeks. Definitley feeling in limbo right now and shit scared of the upcoming scan. Was balling my eyes out about it to DP last night.

Oh dear, hope you all start feeling better soon! I have a cold coming too say, not too bad yet but snuffly and coughing a fair bit.
Feel very fat today, all work folk must knoww and too polite to say anything haha.

Had a very stressful drive in to work today - passed 3 accidents on a 5mile stretch of road, one with a motorcyclist off and being tended to which actually made me cry. Fervently hoping they are ok.

Pregnancy wise feeling fine thankfully just emotional!

Hope your SIL recovers soon amy

Say - I had bloods taken last Saturday and results came in yesterday (so just over a week). They did say they might have been in on the Friday so you might be lucky and get them within a week. Hope you are feeling a bit better!!!

My resolve about not finding out the sex lasted about 4 hours.......I am blaming DH for telling me to just open it!!! Anyway, looks like if all goes well we will be having a wee girl! Unfort I was then awake from 1am - 4am last night worrying about whether I still feel pregnant or not (nausea slightly better yesterday and appetite has returned). Roll on 12 week scan on Monday!!! 11+6 today. Hope everyone is feeling ok and symptoms start to improve soon!

ooh popcorn a little baby girl, how lovely.

i wouldn't worry about symptoms now they are supposed to tail off arent they? when is your nhs scan?

my sickness feels like it is back with a vengence today i feel ill. have eat hoping it would make me feel better but it hasnt so think i will have to resort to lucozade. feel like going home.

Congrats on the girl!!

Ah popcorn - a girl! Lovely news.

I am waiting impatiently for the nt results from my hospital. They said allow up to 2 weeks and it's not even a week yet, yet I am hunting down the postman and willing them to arrive. Still horrifically sick and nauseous at 13+3 here - I hope it goes soon as it's starting to get me down a little bit.

aww pooch thats tough going! hopefully you will pick up soon.

that's good news about the screenig i think, i have been reading up today and nhs are supposed to let you know 3 days after blood test results if high risk so i would take it as a good sign. got mine tomorrow.

Popcorn a wee girl, that's lovely. For me I really felt that finding out the sex allowed me to really "get to know" the baby - I admire the resolve of those who remain team yellow though.

Anyone else's hormones smashed to bits? I'm just really really teary.

Lovely news popcorn

Pooch I only had my scan yesterday and I'm already feeling like that! They didn't have the blood results yet yesterday as they were only taken last Wednesday, otherwise I think they would have given me the results there and then which is a bugger.

I'm willing my phone not to ring as they did say a call within 3 days is usually because there's a problem. So I think having to wait as long as you have is good news..Sonographer said I should get letter with results and 20 week scan date within a week or so...I hate the waiting though!

Beans feeling very teary here too, could cry at the drop of a hat at the moment! Still getting some nausea as well which feels like it's 10 times worse than it was when I had it every day, but I think that's just because I'm not so used to it anymore.

F@ck. I've had my scan moved up to 8.30 tomorrow morning instead of Thursday. My husband is 3 hours away in Wales for work and not back until tomorrow evening. I'm panicking that it's going to be bad news and I'll be on my own.

My parents live nearly 4 hours away and I don't feel close enough to MIL to get much comfort from her coming with me.

It was either tomorrow or wait until next week and that seemed too far away.

I can't rationally ask DH to come home and strand his work colleague there can I?!

im doing all my scans on my own sayit when i got bad news at my 20 week scan with pfb my dp and dm were with me and fell to pieces. i felt like i had to support them.

dp doesnt want to come because he feels he is a bad oman and dm is ay work anyway but i think i will be better alone.

just a shame if its great news they wont get to see it. nm.

That's interesting ginger and oliver about the 3 day thing, they didn't mention that to me, I wonder if it's the same across the board? But yes I guess no news is hopefully good news - I'm going to cling on to that. I just want to get the results and for them to be ok because I've promised myself if they are ok then I need to start trying to enjoy or at least feel positive about this pregnancy. But I'm 36 so worrying that that is going to push the results higher. I just wish I could stop worrying and obsessing about everything!!

say I had some of my early scans this time around on my own as DH was overseas. I actually found it helped In a way as I was focusing on getting myself to the hospital and being brave etc and in a way i felt if it had been bad news I could go into myself a bit and not have to try and put on a brave face. You will be ok and hopefully you will have good news to be able to phone DH with after.

Bouts of crazy emotions here too beans, sobbed on my own in the kitchen for a good 20 mins the other week for no good reason. The slightest even vaguely sad thing makes me weepy.

We won't be finding out sex of baby either, I like a suprise, plus if it's a girl I can't be arsed with all work folk going on about how terrible and hard 2 girls are (as theh did with two recent blokes who had their second girls) and if it's a boy they will say how great it is to have one of each. Personally I just want a healthy baby and I will be happy with whatever sex it is when it gets here. Though there is a teeny bit of me that would like to know!

say do you have a good friend you could take with you instead?

That sounds so tough ginger. At least you can share photos with them afterwards.

imgonnasing thanks for your kind message. Deep down I know it wouldn't be my fault but I can't help feeling that way. I cried across Skype to my husband the other day asking would he still love me of things went wrong... He did look at me as if I was slightly mad in the head and told me to stop being so silly ofc he would. I'm definitely not doing anything mad. Currently I have what I think could be "morning sickness" in the evening, definitely needing more trips to the bathroom despite probably not drinking enough and I think some achy breasts so adding all that with the fact that we did see a heartbeat last Friday at 6weeks 0days I am trying to focus on positive and that hopefully all will be OK when we go this Friday. We found out at put booking appointment St 8weeks in August that our baby had stopped growing at 6w4d so atm that kinda feels like the milestone we need to get past. But that's today so I'm thinking that's maybe partly why I'm so anxious.
I'm so glad things are going well for you at 17 weeks and really thanks for your support :-) sometimes it really helps to hear your not the only one having these thoughts!

No worries at all smurf, that is exactly what this thread is here for.

Both my mcs happened at 6+5 so I was super nervous when I started spotting at 6wks. Went home crying from work in full on panic mode. Thankfully all was well at our scan at 7wks and I cried with relief when I saw the little heartbeat fluttering away.

It's really hard not to feel responsible when you are the one doing the growing so I know where you're coming from there.
Be kind to yourself and remeber "today you are pregnant"

Hello, not posted in a few days but having a bad day today. Had a consultant appointment and she did a scan and saw that the heartrate is irregular, keeps speeding up and then dropping back to normal, so I'm waiting for a fetal medicine referral tomorrow now.

For those who don't no our DD was stillborn at 35 weeks last year, at a routing appointment we discovered an irregular heartrate that was advanced and had caused excess fluid, hydrops and heart failure, but they found it too late to save her. They said it was like being struck by lightening and wouldn't happen again. But it feels like it is, much much earlier this time, but spending that hour sat in a quiet side room brought back so many bad memories sorry for the long woe is me post. Il try and catch up properly after. Congratulations on a girl popcorn

Thank you for the support ladies. I think I'm doing the right thing going tomorrow and my line manager know the situation so if the worst happens, everyone is in the know that needs to be.

DH has been my rock and I'm worried how he will take it if it's bad news and he isnt there. I'm really, really hoping all is well. I have to go back to the antenatal area where I found out about my MMC. I am dreading being in that place again.

Alb I hope the appointment tomorrow can bring some reassurance or at least a plan. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Oh alb, sending massive hugs. I know you are just going to worry but they have picked it up now and you will be in the best possible hands. How many weeks are you? Will be thinking of you tomorrow

So sorry to hear that alb, really hope it goes well tomorrow. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you.

Good luck for you tomorrow too say, I found it tough going back to the epu where I had the scan confirming my last mc too. Hopefully it will be better news for you this time too.

alb everything crossed for some good news for you tomorrow. say hope you see a lovely heart beat, but rubbish that you have to go alone.
