Staying posifrickentive- Thread 15 for ladies pg after mc

[XxBecxX]

Hya ladies, hope you find this!
Xxx

Sorry if my last post was negative about the worry not going away - I have generally been fine as the time has gone on, it's more when I'm getting close to another scan that the scanxiety sets in again! The growing bump definitely helps it feel more real! :)

Princess I'm on pred/aspirin/progesterone I found it rough at the start but ok now my body seems used to it.

Ginger we're almost dating the same, I have my scan thurs at 6 +3 (7weeks on lmp). So stressed out about it the past few days.

Thanks for the well wishes say and pooch all ok in epu. I had to have dildo cam due to them not being able to see over my tummy, which was uncomfortable but not painful. Anyway they found tiny bean, and heartbeat and measure me at 6 weeks which I guess makes sense as I had my mc 7 weeks ago, and stopped bleeding a week later. I just need to get past that 7 week milestone and will feel better about that and concentrate on the 12 week scan. Seems so far away, need to distract myself!

ginger good luck for your scan tomorrow!

NoCats that's great news, you're clearly as fertile as I am - BFP 5 weeks after MC here too Only one week until you're first big milestone and then 12 week scan will come around sooner than you expect it to, promise!

Thanks so much oliversmummy it's a relief to be dated more accurately than my guesswork, and be a little more in control of something I'm definitely not in control of! You're right though, if I can get through this week and that odd looming date I'll be feeling better about the next few weeks. Need to stay busy - feeling a tiny bit excited now though, it's hard not to when you see that tiny heartbeat pumping away!

Thanks Cat and very close Jaffa. What is your due date?

I've got full on 'morning' sickness all day most days now. Treating it as a good thing although it's damned annoying.

Great news cat! I fell pregnant with my DD straight after my second MC - got my bfp 5 weeks later and just couldn't believe it it had happened so quickly. I hope you get through these next few weeks. Seeing a heartbeat is such am amazing feeling isn't it.

Hope you feel a bit more human soon sock

Good luck tomorrow ginger

Cats great news on your scan!

Sock I hope your sickness doesn't get much worse. I just seem to have had a bit of nausea around 7 weeks and heaving a lot still!

Lightgreen I hope you make a speedy recovery!

Hope everyone else is ok too!

After my wobbly couple of days, I feel ok again now. I caved and used the Doppler again today and found the heart beat again, strong and fast. Worked it out to 162 BPM which has made me feel so so happy! Mw is coming to see me on Thursday and have my private scan on Friday. My brother and sil used this clinic and they predicted their twins genders correctly at 10+1 both boys, I might ask what the lady thinks at the scan. Chose this clinic as it's run by ex NHS sonographers, all qualified and between the two sonographers they have 50 years experience!
The next few days are going to drag so badly, I want to see how much my blob has grown since my scan at 7+3
Feeling confident but for how long?!

pooch seems it's quite common to fall pregnant straight after a mc, there's quite a few on this thread that have gone through similar which makes me reassured.

amy how many weeks are you now? Good luck for your scan Friday

Cats I'm 10+2 now. It seems like the weeks are dragging on but actually they've gone pretty fast. Was 4+1 when I found out I was pg again

Good news Cats!

I'm away on a course. Stupid early start and a 9-6 day of learning means I am pretty broken. Hoping for a good nights sleep before more tomorrow and the day after.

I am only 14+1 but my bump is so obvious a couple of the people asked. It's really weird as I don't want to hide being pregnant, talking about it like 'yay so exciting, congratulations' feels overwhelming.

Evening ladies can't sleep!
Had my growth scan Monday and the little fatty is 7lb 13oz @36wks lol
Like I've previously mentioned I have had a 10lb-er before so it's not completely a surprise but this is the first time I've had GD.
Anyway, with his size, my GD and my horrendous SPD/PGP they have bought my IOL forward to Monday!!!!! 37wks.
I've been in yesterday morning for a dose of steroids and will be back up there agin at 9.30 for a second dose as they take approx 4dsus to get the maximum effect.
The consultant has requested them as a help just to make sure the babies lungs are good and ready.
There's a lot of uncertainty as to how it's going to pan out in my head as although I've been induced with all my previous babies, I've started with the pessary, followed by them braking my waters, this time they don't want to use any hormone as I had a PPH last birth and so they are suggesting, if I've room, justvto break my waters, see what happens, or try this new balloon catheter that gets you started then literally falls out when your 3cm dilated lol

I'm excited/nervous/scared, running through all the emotions right now.
Already been nesting and so was cleaning kitchen cupboards and windows today and got my steriliser and prep machine out!
I think I'm all easy for him, just awaiting his cot bedding I had made.
I'm waffling lol
You ladies know yourselves how wanted our babies are, I just want him in my arms healthy and fat, feeling emosh!

Well done on all your positive scans and good news, it's a hard slog in those early days, much strength to all xxxx

Sorry about all the typos lol

Good luck surviving the rest of the course Say, both the studying and the questions.

Bec Wow! How exciting. And nerve wracking. The induction methods sound intriguing but probably only because they're not happening to me! Must be a bit overwhelming to have it all bought forward so quickly.

Good luck Bec I remember the excitement with my two! Hope everything goes well and he's here snuggled into your arms.

The balloon sounds interesting - I had pessaries and the drip for my inductions, amazing what new things they think up.

Good luck Bec; the balloon is used quite a lot in continental hospitals and are a ways of inducing labour for ladies who've had a previous CS.

It's much "nicer" than the pessary/gels etc.

Good luck today Ginger.

Sounds exciting Bec, hope everything goes ok over the next few days and on Monday.

I am struggling to get any work done this morning. Scan isn't until 15:15 (CET) and I have a few short telecom meetings beforehand... almost want the meetings to happen now to distract me.

Instead I'm browsing MN and HuffPost! And trying to figure out new ways to cope with this all day nausea.

Good luck for the scan Ginger, such an agonising wait!

I'm 6 weeks and have lots of discharge. Is this normal?

I've slept for nearly 2 days after been sent home from work feeling very poorly. I'm so paranoid as I had crazy exhaustion leading up to my mmc. I'm such a nervous wreck.

Hand holding for you sock. I suspect increased discharge is a normal effect of changing hormones. Sorry you are feeling so low and anxious.

bec exciting for you to be preparing for birth so soon, hope it all goes the way you want it to.

I've really been struggling the past few days, complete meltdown on DH last night, then awake for hours in the night watching for movements/some sort of sign that there is any life in there. Had decided that my bump was deflating, etc etc etc. Finally cracked this afternoon and hunted down the doppler at work - decided if I couldn't find anything couldn't make myself feel any worse. Anyway, luckily I found a heart beat quickly (once I remembered to put some gel on!) so feeling better for the moment. Maybe I'll sleep tonight.

My mum asked me on the phone the other day if we were going to do NCT this time! We are nowhere near ready to think that far ahead, we don't get to 24 weeks till mid may which seems an age away.

Anyway, today I am pregnant! (16+5). Think I will have to come clean with rest of my colleagues at work next week. Don't think I can bear another week in trousers done up with a bump belt!

Hope the scan went ok Ginger xx

sock it's so easy to convince yourself you have the same symptoms as the ones from a miscarriage, but pregnancy can make you exhausted too, and today you are pregnant (the thread mantra!) Each pregnancy is different and I read someone else say this isn't anything to do with your other pregnancies, this is completely new. It's a good way to look at it. Hope you're ok xx

Thank you for the support @Hazandduck and @grainmum. I don't know where I would be without this forum. I have a booking appointment on 7th and I'm going to be very honest with the midwife about my anxieties.

How is everyone else feeling?

Sock I'm the same - very moist! (Bleugh!) With my other pregnancies I was constantly checking for bleeding but I'm just embracing the pads now! I never bleed with my MCs anyway so I don't know why I kept checking anyway! I got my 3+ finally (I know I know!) on a clear blue digi at 5+6 which has given me reassurance that things have at least progressed this far. I've been here before though! The worst thing for me is the not knowing. I know that I'll still feel pregnant even if I've MCd & the only way to tell will be a scan. Horrible. I don't want to be positive weirdly - I just want this bit over with!
