Congratulations Alb, hoping your girlie grows stronger and stronger!

Happy birthday Amy, glad it's got off to a good start for you. Hope you have a lovely day!

Alb congratulations and so pleased everything went well.

She's a lovely weight.

Corrinax I have a tilted uterus too - so always get the internal scan - yay(!). Great scan picture!

Amy Happy birthday, think that this year will be the year you meet your baby! Squee.

Princess I'm so sorry for your loss, I know it sounds like such a bullshit sentence but I really am. I hope you have plenty of real life support.

Alb congratulations! I hope she is getting stronger every day.

corrinax lovely scan photo! And I also have a tilted uterus lightgreen, but only found this out at my last scan, no one mentioned it before in my other 3 pregnancies?! So i had to have internal, but also because it was early at 6 weeks, will this mean more internals and can your uterus change?!

So i've reached 7 weeks today - yay! one day past when i miscarried last time. Tiny steps, milestones ticked off. Feels good to get that looming date out the way. Fingers crossed I can continue with this little one safe inside!

Happy birthday Amy I've been having weird dreams too! I've had dreams of blood running down my legs which obviously shows what anxieties are in my subconscience! And last night after watching Broadchurch I had a dream that David Tennant claimed to be the father of my baby to my very shocked OH! I'm pretty sure he's not...😂

Feeling utterly devoid of all energy today and with my scan tomorrow I'm hoping it's a good sign.

11+5 and as far as I know, today I am pregnant.
And scared.
More scared than I was at 9w.

Compared to what others on this thread are going through I feel ridiculous talking like this, I'm just so so scared that my brain will snap in two if we see no hb.

just want tomorrow over and done with x

Good luck for tomorrow legend. Today you are pregnant and that's all you can tell yourself 💗

@TheLegendOfBeans good luck for tomo. I know just how you feel. I'm having an early scan at 7-8 weeks and being only 4 weeks now, seems like a lifetime away! Over analysing everything to make myself sick with worry!
Fingers crossed everything will be ok, keep us updated and post up a pic if you can! 😘🦋

Congratulation alb. Rooting for baby alb here and thinking of you.

Amazing scan picture corrinax! Glad all was well.

Welcome ima and good luck. You'll get lots of support here.

Happy birthday amy!

nocats well done for getting past that milestone, I find those little things help to tick them off don't they.

Best of luck for tomorrow legend. Hope you don't have too long tomorrow to wait.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. 18+3 here and anxiety is setting in. Still two weeks until my scan and it's been 2 weeks since I heard the heartbeat at my mw appointment. Just hoping against hope everything is ok. I can feel some fluttering of movement I think, but I almost don't want to get my hopes up that it is movement in case it's bad news at the next scan.

It's really shit isn't it. I wish we didn't feel like we do, but it does help to see others battle through the anxiety and know you're not alone.

Legend I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping it goes well.

I have my 16wk MW appointment in the morning (will be 15+2) and my anxiety is settling in for the evening of what happens if she can't find the HB. I don't think it matters how far we are through, the worry doesn't stop.

Long day in the office for me and just leaving London to head home then PT session at 7.30. At least my energy levels have improved and PT is taking it easy on me. I can see the day I just want to go and stretch though!

I have finally convinced OH to get a private scan (he thinks it will heighten my anxiety like the one I had last time did, but that's because I knew my dates were correct and something was wrong!) but now I am worrying that as soon as I book it I'll jinx myself and start miscarrying.
I don't want to even tell my GP or book in with the midwife. I just can't accept that this is real or happening and I don't want to know if something's wrong I just feel stuck. I'm 8 +3 so if I book a scan for next week I'll be 9 weeks ish.

Thanks for the welcomes! 😊 Anybody else get worried about the cramping etc? It feels like I'm carrying a bowling ball in my uterus sometimes, I get a heavy feeling down there. Cramps come mainly at night, I'm ok through the day. I know it is a good thing etc, but getting pregnant after MC really is terrifying. I'm aware of every feeling/twinge etc.

Gosh its nuts how much we all worry on here. I am so glad for this thread and all the support and all the sharing of worry, bad times, good moments and stories of past. I'm really grateful for you all, and even though i must be one of the lucky ones on here with 2 children already and really a minor miscarry story i am really finding the worry taking over my thoughts. Some of you are so brave to go through what you have/are going through and post such positive things.

Anyway, harriet - i hope your scan helps relieve your anxiety a bit.

Legend - absolute best of luck for tomorrow.

littlepooch thank you, the little milestones crossed off are a good thing.

say hope your mw appointment goes well and you get to listen to your babies heartbeat.

I agree Nocats it's actually quite heartbreaking reading all the stories of struggles and pain and fear on this thread, but at the same time it's immensely comforting to know you aren't alone and your fears are valid and normal. It's hard when your OH just tells you to stop worrying - if only it were that easy! I said to him yesterday that it feels like you are constantly waiting for your body to do something; to fail you, each toilet trip is torture. Yes it is an anxious time for him too, but physically, he is not affected at all. I think it helped him see it from my perspective. They can be the most supportive, amazing spouse in the world but physically they will never know how it actually feels unlike all you lovely girls on here x

Agreed haz. And not to mention the OCD knicker checking, looking for blood. Altho I have calmed that down a lot now, and am trying to enjoy this pregnancy. I was only checking because of the cramping, but Ive had it for a few weeks now so I've accepted that it is normal. One day at a time I think is the best advice. One day at a time!

alb I'm posted congrats on your other thread, but just wanted to say 4lb 4 sounds like a great weight at this stage?

legend everything crossed for you tomorrow and a happy scan, hope you manage to sleep tonight.

say hope the midwife appointment goes well and you get to hear the reassuring heart beat.

And welcome to the newbies. It's really hard in the early days such a mix of emotions. Something i heard at the weekend resonated with me and is helping a little.... choose hope. I try to tell myself that when I start worrying. Maybe others will also find it comforting/useful xx

That's a lovely motto Grain! I'm going to try that one out today

Hope you had a lovely birthday yesterday Amy!

Thanks everyone for the bday messages! Had a lovely day and was well and truly spoiled by my dh and family.

I had to call in work sick today though. I feel terrible 🙁 getting dd's ready for school, dh will take them in then I'm going to go back to bed. First morning I've actually felt like I might throw up.

Hope you all have a better day than I do today ❤

Not good news for me. Started bleeding so guess it's gonna be mc number 9. Might try again.
But good luck to all the other mums out there 🦋

Congratulations Alb!

Sorry you are bleeding Pixie keep strong it might not be over x

I have another scan tonight at 8+1, I'm terrified as the one at 6+4 showed me behind dates which isn't possible really.

It's not until 9.30 tonight, time is passing stupidly slowly.

Sorry you're bleeding Pixie, serving you love and hoping for the best.

Good luck for your scan tonight ptphonehome, I hope it's good for you. My early scan with this pregnancy showed baby behind dates even though I'm absolutely sure when I ovulated. Every scan since has shown expected growth between scans and a strong hb. Little bean was even waving at me yesterday on the scan at 9 weeks. Not in the clear yet and still anxious, but you never know. x

Hey. Bleeding is worse, like a heavy period so yup, it's over for me. I'm not giving up yet tho, made my mind up to try again so hope to see you lot again!

Good luck tonight PT!

Sorry you're bleeding Pixie. Be kind to yourself and I hope things turn out positively.

Had my 16wk check and the MW found baby's heartbeat really quickly! It's a sound that I don't think I could ever get tired of hearing. He was moving around and kicking but I can't feel any of it yet. Looking forward to the day I can feel being booted from the inside! we're another step on the way.

I am so sorry pixie. Look after yourself. Hope to see you back here soon.

Good luck pt hope everything is ok tonight and measuring ok.

say- - great news she found the heartbeat. I love hearing it too. I wish I could have an appointment to hear it once a week!

18+4 - time is going so slowly.
