Staying posifrickentive- Thread 15 for ladies pg after mc

[XxBecxX]

Hya ladies, hope you find this!
Xxx

Hi Jaffa hope you don't mind me asking but did your gp prescribe the pred/aspirin/progesterone? Did you have tests for this or?

princessconsuela I totally get you, I've used pads every day for the last 3 weeks now! And I agree, I keep saying to my OH I either want to know Baby is fine or just want it over with and if I'm going to miscarry again I want it to just happen now rather than this painful waiting and wondering if this one will stick..! I think how you feel is totally normal.

sock I am the same, these forums are a lifesaver especially when you can't talk to anyone in real life about it x

So the scan went really well. Heartbeat lound and strong - visible even on the scan!

They think I might be closer to 6+3 rather than 6+6 but not sure as too small to get accurate measurement.

Going back on 8 May for proper scan and tests etc. They would have discharged me to the midwife if I wanted but decided to at least get through this next phase with them before totally moving over.

Feeling very relived and may have shed a tear or two during the scan.

@princessconsuelobananahammock I too am refusing to feel positive, I just want to get to 12 weeks, hopefully feel more human and have a scan that shows everything being ok. I feel a bit better after having a chat to my mom on the phone, she phoned me as she had seen my car on the drive during the day when I should have been at work.

@GingerHanna your scan news is exciting! I bet you are feeling happy this evening.

Sock as happy as one can be when trying not to be sick and discovering any strong smelling savoury food makes my stomach tie itself it knots!

But yes, very happy.

Great news Ginger! Really pleased for you.

Hello chaps; so I am going to use this thread for the purpose it was built for as I'm convinced it's going to be bad news on Weds at the 12w scan.

I have gone from dog tired with strong food aversions to basically normal over the past 48 hours and I'm so so so so scared.

If it was any of you I'd be saying "every day is different", but I just feel my blood running cold, like my brains caught up with what's going on in there or something.

I'm really, really scared.

Ps: this is even though we saw a hb at 9w. To be scanned at 12w and for no hb to be found would be my final emotional straw.

@TheLegendOfBeans I completely understand your anxiety and I'm sending you the mist positive of thoughts. I guess you are nearly 12 weeks? From what i understand symptoms normally let up around then as you enter the 2nd trimester

Thanks sock, im presently 10+4.

I dunno, my heads a mess, torn between "you just know" and general paranoia. Something has changed, i feel different, boobs less pumped up, less bloaty.

legend I too was convinced the 12 week scan would be bad news due to lack of symptoms. It doesn't mean anything and like others have said I think a common time for symptoms to lessen. Keeping everything crossed for you and sending lots of positive vibes your way xx

legend I had exactly that at the same time when pregnant with my daughter. I was at a conference, had oodles of energy all of a sudden, appetite back, sore boobs gone. Was so convinced it was all over I even considered getting pissed. 3 days later, nausea back, boobs on fire and asleep by 8. I have also had the opposite, feeling like crap, tits like torpedoes, scan and no baby, mmc of probably a few weeks.
It is a total head fuck for women like us, that being pregnant and not being pregnant can feel exactly the same. So, you really can't 'just know' with any certainty, that's what scans are for.
Maybe try and take one day at a time and today, as far as you know, you are pregnant.

Legend one of the things I have really struggled with post MC is whether I 'knew' something was wrong. I didn't (and still don't really) trust my body. It's completely normal to feel as you do. My only advice is to do whatever will make this time easier for you.

Oh legend I'm so sorry you are going through this. I have sod all wise words to offer but lots of virtual hugs winging their way over to you.

I hope it works out and quickly.

legend I'm sorry you feel like this, but yes you absolutely need to use this thread for what it's there for. Come and offload every day if it helps before Wednesday. Nothing I can say will make it better, but echo the others in that you can never really be sure I think of what your body is up to. Really hope you can relax a bit, stressing won't help. Lot S of hand holding here. Do you have anything nice planned for the weekend to take your mind off it?

Thanks all. I don't really feel much different today; my boob zits are fading, and I'm starting to mentally "brace" for Wednesday.

We have an inordinate amount of stuff going on; we are planning an international move in the next few weeks, DH needs to get a job before we go, I'm refreshing my driving skills with lessons, im learning to ride a bike plus I'm dealing with estate agents to sell our house and fix it up before it hits the market. So yeah; plenty on. I just feel paralysed by fear and super scared.

Thank you for the hand holds; I really value this thread. I know it's more likely than not that things are ok and that I need to give my head a wobble but until I see what's what the unease will remain.

Bless you Legend it's so tough, that wait for the 12 week scan seems interminable. Thinking of you and hope you manage to keep yourself busy until next Wednesday.

Beans you sound flat out! 6 days to go till Wednesday.

I got released from hospital yesterday so at home with my boys today - I had to turn on the waterworks to be discharged but I don't regret it.

Standing up makes me feel sick and I keep needing to eat to fend it off - I'm going to be a whale come 12 weeks!

Good you're out -Greenglass, hope this is the end of scary stuff for you and you glide on for now x

Bellende; your words really spoke to me - the fact you were SO convinced it was all over you nearly got pissed. That was me until about 2pm.

Gonna literally switch off my brain. I can disassociate for the next few days. I have nothing overt to concern me; no streaking and no heavy cramps. So I'm shutting off that part of my brain. Just not gonna give it mental airtime until something presents itself to prove that something's gone wrong.

Because without proof, it's not a donecdeal is it? So shut up brain. X

I usually come on here to talk about my anxieties. Today I want to share something positive, I found something that makes me happy - sausage, bean and cheese melts from Greggs. Will be going back for another one tomorrow lunch time. What is everybody else's go to pregnancy food?

Hello, just checking in and trying to catch up. Who is due next on here? I'm sure there's a few coming up in the next couple of weeks!

Sorry your having such a tough time legend I remember that before my 12 week scan all too well, I hope time passes quickly for you.

light glad your back home, hospital is misrable, hope your feeling better

Things aren't going great here, the baby isn't responding to medication like it should be and is getting more sick, there talking about early delivery now, I'm 28+4, they really want me to get to 32 weeks but that's looking very unlikely at the minute. I no 28 weeks is generally a good milestone for premature babies I'm just worried the added complication of the heart problem will make things too difficult for the baby. We're just taking things day by day at the minute though.

Sorry I've not caught up properly, stuck in hospital now though so I'm sure il get time too

Oh no Alb it must be such a scary time for you - I saw 26 weekers in SCBU when DS2 was in there and I read story of a baby who was 800 grams who now plays county hockey. What they can do now for premies is amazing.

Alb, not only do I wish you strength and love but (excuse me if I have got baby's condition wrong) I have had SVT all my life, I know it's not much help to you but if you ever want to ask me about it then just holler - I'm no expert and can only speak personally but am here if you need.

Thanks the baby is now in sustained SVT so they can't bring her out of it, the one medication that works lowers the heart dangerously low as the baby is too sensitive to it which is just as bad. We have another scan tomorrow to see were we go from there. They're reluctant to take the baby out so soon as the long term outlook is much better at 32 weeks, but my last baby was stillborn, I'd give anything to have her here even with a disability, so I'd rather they didn't drag it out too long for a future that might not even exist if they time it badly. I'm glad it's not my job to make that call though!

Oh my love x
