Staying posifrickentive- Thread 16 for ladies pg after mc

[oliversmummy26]

Starting a new thread for us ladies...

@Hazandduck hey hun no its my 5th. I have 1 boy he is 5 & then 3 mc. It was like bubbles but strong. Maybe it was a belly twitch as it does seems VERY early

It's a pink sock! Scan confirmed this morning that we are expecting a baby girl 💗

Yay for the pink sock! Congratulations!

Congrats sock! 😊

Oh wow Sweety then you know what it feels like! I just didn't know what it felt like as with my other 2 pregnancies I miscarried and never felt movement, so when I first felt the popping I thought there was something wrong! Maybe you are further than you think? Sorry about your 3 losses.

Sock ah congratulations :) x

Amazing! Congrats sock!

Congratulations sock! And to others with good news scans.
I'm 9+2 now. Had my booking in appt last week which was a milestone for me as never made it that far. My 2 previous MCs don't qualify me for an early scan here, but midwife called sorting my appointment and booked my 12 week scan for 12 weeks exactly so I get it before I go on holiday. My symptoms are coming and going which is making me anxious but I'm consistently starving all the time and exhausted so I've got no reason to assume the worst. Happy Sunday everyone!

Congratulations Sock!

I have an early dating scan tomorrow to determine how far along I am & I am sick with nerves.
I am getting some nausea (not as much as last time), sore boobs and cramps & twinges.
I'm trying to stay positive but I don't think I can go through a mc again. Looking for a virtual hand hold

Sockportal Congratulations, great news! (as an aside, "Window to the Womb" is a slightly creepy/weird brand name imho! )

LisaSimpson welcome to the thread! You just missed me having a meltdown a couple days ago because I was missing a few symptoms and it was the same time I had lost my first baby, so absolutely do NOT feel like you're dragging anything down! That's what this particular thread is here for--sympathy and letting you vent your worry and restore a bit of balance (temporary as that may be). Incidentally CharlieWeasley, I'm feeling exactly the same (although I'm a week further on than you now, my sickness and digestive problems disappeared at 9 weeks) and I'm clinging to that exhaustion and the very-hungry-caterpillar syndrome! Also the boobs, which have been sore again the last few days, although they are by no means massive. At least I'm properly filling out a B cup like a big girl lol ! 12 days until the scan now...we can make it! X

yellow we all know that dread, and yet that feeling that you just have to know what's going on in there. Holding your hand and crossing everything that you get a positive result tomorrow! X

Holding your hand @yellowfrontdoor. Hoping for some good news for you tomorrow morning

Thank you everyone! Everything feels so much more real now!

Welcome to the gang @LisaSimpsonsbff I understand how you feel, even though I have had a happy reassuring weekend I am still a bag of nerves.

And offering a handhold to @yellowfrontdoor

I'm now going to read through all the other posts properly to catch up on everyone's news

Morning ladies. I had some brown spotting (just a tiny bit) overnight which is how my last MMC started (although it was a bit earlier than this). Absolutely gutted. I know it could be totally normal and everything could be fine but I really wanted everything to go smoothly this time. I dreamt I miscarried last night as well which doesn't help. Feeling quite low and just not sure what to do as I swore I wouldn't get a scan before 8 weeks this time around, the uncertainty last time was just too awful.

Yellow, hand-hold - hope it goes well today.

peach I know how you feel. It absolutely terrified me too when I saw the brown spotting I had. I spent ages saying exactly what you just have- I just wanted this one to be ok. For this one to be uneventful but clearly this isn't allowed! Because apparently we haven't been through enough .
I would say do what I did- go to your docs and get them to do an hcg blood test and explain your feelings about scans. I think they are very appreciative of people who don't just turn up at the surgery demanding early scans when it may not give any reassurance. At least an hcg test would give you that reassurance that things are progressing as normal, and hopefully tide you over past 8 weeks until you should definitely see a heartbeat. I'm hoping that's what happens when I speak to the doctor tomorrow anyway!! Then I might dare to book a midwife appointment.

Hand holds for you and yellow.

@sock congratulations!

Good luck for those with scans today.

@peachgreen sorry you are having a tough time, here's hoping the bleeding settles and you can hold out to 8 weeks like you planned. How long is that for you?

@grainmum @NoParticularPattern Thank you ladies. I'm 6+2 today so not too long to wait but every day feels so long! I think I'm going to see how it goes today and then if I'm still spotting get an hcg test later on in the week. Just so wanted this one to be worry-free!

5+0 today. Need to keep repeating "today, I am pregnant". I'm just so worried it's all going to go to shit again.

Thanks so much for the advice and support. I called the GP and they'll call me back at midday - hoping they'll then refer me to EPU for blood tests. Feeling so scared today.

So sorry to hear about the spotting, peach. Hopefully it'll settle soon, and I know that spotting is really common in healthy pregnancies (and I also know that'll make you feel no better). This is just all so horrible, isn't it? I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality - I think maybe my breasts are tender again today, but I can't work out if that's just wishful thinking. I woke up feeling a bit nauseous - good sign, or have I literally worried myself sick?!

Also it's amazing what you can find to freak out about... I just read that thread about cats behaving differently with pregnant women and got upset because my two are acting exactly the same as normal...

Lisa me too. Mine are being their usual little furry asshat selves.

Admittedly, when I was having the MC I had two little furry lovelies who didn't leave my side. Much. I mean, they still had cat shit to do, but there was always a cat to snuggle next to me on the sofa when I needed it. They're not People cats, they're very much Cat cats, so to have snuggles was lovely.

@peach hoping the spotting stops and the GP is able to do some blood tests for you. Hang in there. Today you are pregnant

When I was in floods of tears thinking I would lose it last week, one of the cats came up and was all cuddly and lovely and purry. DH said 'do you think he's comforting you or do you think he enjoys human tears?', which at least made me laugh.

My scan showed I'm around the 5 week mark & the sonographer is sure she saw a tiny flickering heartbeat, which was amazing.
I have to go back in 2 weeks to confirm the heartbeat & check growth but all in all, a hopefully positive scan. Stopped me feeling quite so terrified for a few minutes anyway!
