Staying posifrickentive- Thread 15 for ladies pg after mc

[XxBecxX]

Hya ladies, hope you find this!
Xxx

I also have a tilted uterus and it basically means nothing lol
My doctor said picture a balloon slightly inflated sitting on its own stalk, if it stands straight when it falls it will take its own position, front back etc, by the time your 12wks its back standing straight and popped out of your pelvis.
Sometimes mines been forward sometime back, it just has played at bit of havoc with my scans at times as it can make viewing a little harder xx

Thanks xxbec!

You need to pop over to Facebook purple, we've just had s conversation about swollen lady bits 😂😂

Lol!! Unfortunately I'm not on Facebook..

OH you should come over to the dark side!
You can keep me posted with all your labour updates!!
Come on my pretty lol

Had my booking in appointment today, midwife was a sweetie, had a great time, even when she was taking my blood!

So now I feel like weeping as I had a fab time at my last booking in and we all know how that ended.

Ffs, I wish wish wish WISH that I could be happy and confident and I'm just wretched teary that it's all going to go to shit again. I can feel myself investing, thinking about if it's a boy or a girl, what it will look like, will I get a VBAC, what names, etc and I feel like Icarus, flying close to the sun and at risk of crashing to the floor and burning if it goes to the wall again.

There's a PP on this thread who absolutely nailed it - a mc really does smash the innocence of pregnancy, doesn't it?

[weeps, eats even more prawn crackers]

In other news, watching Harry Hill's cat throw up on the ad for his new show has brought me dangerously close to hurling too 😂

Urgh feeling rough today. Headache all day which paracetamol can't shift. Saw dr this morning re breathlessness and pounding heart and basically got told nothing wrong just pregnancy so lump it. Mentioned about being concerned about prolapse getting worse as bump grows and she just kept saying how unusual it was for someone my age to have one. Gave no advice. Told me to book a blood test for diabetes as I said I'm really thirsty all the time.
Then I had to go to endocrinologist appointment at the hospital about my prolactinoma which was a complete waste of time as he just said he didn't know I was pregnant, I should be seen in the antenatal clinic (but then didn't mention that again) and told me to book to see them in 6 months after have had baby.

Then we got stuck in all the traffic coming home. Annoying.
So now I'm going to eat some pasties and go to bed and hope I wake up without a headache tomorrow.

Aw sorry to hear about rubbish day I'mgonna. Hopefully tomorrow will be better

So i decided today i couldnt wait any longer and gave in to an early scan at just over 8 weeks i have good and bad news and still worrying lol

They found twins in seperate sacs however 1 hasnt made it and stopped at 7 weeks and the other is just fine meassuring 8+3 with a heartbeat etc but also said there is an area of haemorrhage adjacent to the sacs now im so worried about the other baby what happens to him and the bleeding is this gonna be bad news for both babies???

Hi all hope you're all ok...

Doom sorry you've had a bad day.

Corina the same thing happened to me with my second twin pregnancy. Dd's twin was miscarried at 8 weeks, don't know when it had stopped growing though. I did have a big bleed and a scan at 9 weeks. Dd stayed put she'll be 9 next Friday. There is hope, sometimes the area of blood plus the baby re-absorb. Maybe best if you get yourself an appointment with epau to keep an eye on it.

Legend I could write that same paragraph as you every day. Too scared to invest. After our good news yesterday it just feels like more to lose. We will get there though.

Sorry your day is rubbish ImGonna. I have had some horrible headaches. Don't remember them from being pregnant with DD but they are so hard to shift. Pasties and bed sounds like a good idea. I have been thinking about pasties a lot, I'm sure I read somewhere that Iceland do Greggs ones...

Corrinax congratulations, and I'm sorry too. That must be a whole bag of mixed emotions. Are you going to go for more scans? A heartbeat at 8 weeks is very positive.

Hugs for you legend, hang on in there. I forget, have you had a scan? doom sorry you have had a bad day and unsatisfactory appointments. I think for prolapse the best thing at this point is lots of pelvic floor exercises. Any news from alb? Hope the new medicine is doing the trick.

Hi ladies,

I'm really happy to have found this thread.

I'm 6w today after 2mcs last year. One at 7 weeks, but baby was way behind and had spotting and low HCG. The other was a complete shock as early 8 week scan showed baby measuring perfectly with a brilliant heart rate only for it to stop growing 5 days later. Didn't find out till 12w when I started bleeding.

So now, after all mc tests which found nothing, I'm under consultant care, on 75mg aspirin and been offered weekly scans. I'm trying to go every fortnight instead.
I'm really scared. Had a break down yesterday thinking it had all gone wrong cuz I'm not really nauseous. But consultant says progesterone levels are good, early scans good, so we wait to see if there is a fetal pole and hb next Tuesday.

Really lovely seeing your progress ladies. Very encouraging.

Thanks purple and amy. In bed now so hoepfully will be a better day tomorrow.

Oh Corrin that must've been tough, so much happyness and sadness all at once.

Can you speak to midwife or someone about it? Did they tell you anything to expect?

Take care of yourself.

Thanks amy that gives me hope im not sure if the lady didnt want to scare me by saying too much so just told me to tell my midwife tomo and im guessing they will want to send me for another scan soon to check up on me i havnt had any bleeding except a tiny pinkish colour when i wiped last week but that was all!

It was a lot to take in but just need to concentrate on this little one 💪xx

Hello, sorry not made it on in a few days. The medication is working and baby's heartbeat is back in a normal rhythm so I'm back home now just with lots of hospital appointments, I'm glad they're keeping a close eye on everything tho. The same problem can reoccur so there may be more hospital stays but for today everything is good! Will go back and read how everyone else is getting on soon

Hi July. Sorry to hear about our losses and congratulations on your pregnancy. You're in the right place here.

Alb that is great news! Really pleased to hear you're ok.

Oh corrinax sorry to hear about the twin but as someone said a heartbeat on the other twin at 8 weeks is very positive. Mixed Emotions ofcourse. I also think it's a good idea to get in touch with EPU.

Hi July lady, I've also sufferered two mcs similar to you. 12 weeks discovered on scan (heartbeat stopped at 8-9 weeks) and then 6+3. I'm now 36+6

Oh alb great news! Been thinking about you

Morning all. Thanks for kind words.
Headache still here this morning so having day off work again. DD in school and nursery so just going to have a very quiet day as just getting her out the house this morning was exhausting.

So glad meds are working alb.

legend it's so hard isn't it, I find myself getting all excited, especially as lots of movement now and OH even felt it yesterday. But then I panic and think that's not normal so early (18+6 today). Also scanxiety about 20wk scan is picking up now as convinced there is going to be something wrong with it and we will have to make a heartbreaking decision.

OH is being very kind and supportive of my pathetic state though, which is nice! And is being fab at picking up the slack regards housework as have nowhere near being pulling my weight.

Welcome to the thread july, sorry for your losses but you are in the right place for support here. And congrats.

Thank you all, I hope this pregnancy sticks.

That's really reassuring purple! You've not got long to go now. Very happy for you. At this point, it's hard to imagine being out of the first trimester.
I have sore breasts, peeing all the time, gagging when brushing teeth, and stretching pains. I'm worried that because I haven't got full on nausea, it's a bad sign, but I'll give it time I guess!

Legend I was exactly the same. But found that getting past the date of my MC was a big milestone and made me feel lots better and then the 12 week scan and good screening results have made me feel much more positive. I hesitate to say it, but I feel like some of the innocence is back now, almost like inside (very quietly so no one else, least of all the baby hears!) I'm thinking "great, we've made it this far so that means that everything will now be fine, because why wouldn't it be?"...It's like the detachment has switched from being detached from the baby, to being detached from the idea of something going wrong. Which I'm going to roll with!

Obviously I know that something could go wrong at any stage, and we are by no means out of the woods until we have a healthy baby in our arms, but for now, I'm feeling positive.

My doppler arrived yesterday and it took several tries and lots of youtube videos, but I found baby which was lovely. Very quiet and the doppler couldn't pick up the heartbeat but it was definitely baby and not me.

Corin hope the midwife gives you some reassurance today, I expect as PP has said a trip to the EPU could be on the cards? They will hopefully be able to give you more information about what will happen next.

Welcome July and congratulations

Welcome new gals and good luck!
So glad your doing ok alb, keep up the good work!!!
Olivers give it a few more days then try the Doppler again except go really low, right to your public bone and try tilting it also, I found the baby was far lower than I expected and even as I grew bigger he has been detectable in his early on position xx
Yes Icelands do greggs frozen pasties of all varieties lol
I nip In from time to time to stock the freezer with them lol

Got my 34wk growth scan Monday, baby was 4lb 9oz @ 31wks so I'm nervously awaiting seeing how much bigger the little beastie is now 😂😂
Anything in the 5lbs I'll be happy with!
Been trying to guestimate how much he can pile on from now until the 10th of April and I'm panicking lol
What's your official elcs date purple, around the 24th of march ish?

Hi ladies,

Literally just for the letter this minute xxbec. 24th march indeed when I'll be exactly 39weeks!

37 weeks today. Still getting the period cramps on and off. They ramp up like regularly for a few hours and then just die away and I have a couple of hours with nothing. I hope they either ramp up properly (and they do emcs) or just stop as it's quite exhausting. It makes me feel better that there is maximum 2 weeks left now.

Alb - great news I'm so pleased for you that everything is under control. I'm being monitored quite closely (every four weeks) which does help keep me reassured that baby is doing ok.

Bec - I have no idea how much they're supposed to grow in the last few weeks? It sounds as though you'll be lucky if he stops at 5lb!?

I'm starting to think about getting my hospital bag packed. I just don't have an awful lot to put in it! Finally found some maternity nighties I'm happy with so I've got those and I'm about to head off to Boots armed with vouchers to buy some bits & bobs. Its starting to seem real - I waiver between excitement and pure fear!
