Staying posifrickentive- Thread 16 for ladies pg after mc

[oliversmummy26]

Starting a new thread for us ladies...

Wow Ants that's amazing, big congrats!

Hand holding to all those in the early phases, we all know how daunting it is, you're in my thoughts!

Thanks for the pm Mojitos

Had my 32 week scan today...placenta has moved up so hopefully that means I can avoid a csec but still won't know for sure until 36 week scan. Otherwise he's all growing well - head is low which explains aches and pains!

Congratulations Ants! Lovely news.

I have taken this week off work. I've been feeling rough since Saturday evening and decided to try something different and look after myself for a change. If I can't put myself first when pregnant, when am I ever going to?! The upset stomach has made me worry about baby being ok though, I had lots of stomach troubles with my MMC so probably quite natural to have a bit of a freak out.

Only a week to go and it will be my 20wk scan next Weds!

Yes Ants!

Nice one Tootsy

Congrats tootsy how many weeks scan was it?? Im 6 weeks & i got an early scan tom very scared

Missed your post tootsy- great news on the scan!

I track me to be 7+3 but she measured at 7+5. This is an abdominal scan too so not the best picture.
Good luck with yours tomorrow Sweety. Sending so many positive vibes!
I was sick with nerves this morning and when I spotted the sac I just seen a big black hole and thought 'here we go again' but she zoomed in and said "do you see the heartbeat?!" 😍 didn't realise how emotional it would be!

Great news Tootsy - I thought the same with my scan and just thought it was a black blob of nothing

Good on you Say - take the time to relax, one of my best friends said to me at the start of my pregnancy to relax and remember this was my priority now and I've remembered that throughout (well tried to!)

Good luck for tomorrow sweets.

I mean sweety!

Thank you every1, i hope i come home happy too but last time i was ok till heart beat stoped at 8weeks😢

Sweetyboo it is hard to remember when you are anxious, but this is a different pregnancy, a different baby, and it is not always going to be the same. Just keep telling yourself "today I am pregnant" the thread mantra. Hope everything goes ok at the scan xx

Hazan thanks

Wonderful to hear the good news Ant and Tootsy!

Donna and Sweety I understand that anxiety, I know I won't rest until after my scan in the 8th week. That's when my last baby stopped growing, as we found out when I MC 2 weeks later. It's not booked yet; I'm waiting another week until I ring them but it should be anytime after the 18th. Part of me is like "just ring them now" but another part of me is so pessimistic and just expects it to go wrong before then! I'm not normally like that and I'm trying so hard to be positive that it's exhausting me. You ladies on here help so much though! X

Can't remember if I said enough but now have early scan and booking in on the same day. Of the four times I've been pregnant, I've only made it to booking in once! There's nothing exciting to report here, but having had a MMC, I know that no news isn't always good news.

Hi ladies, thanks for the welcomes. I can't say how reassuring it is to hear others' stories of progressing safely through their pregnancies (congrats to tootsy, sayitisntso, ants, knorrig and anyone else I've missed). I am so sorry for all those struggling right now. I am right there with you and wishing you the best. Sweety good luck today, please give us an update if you feel you can.

I see the thread mantra is "I am pregnant today" but how do you know and how do you stay positive? I tested quite early as I was going to start IVF treatment and was unexpectedly pregnant...my second HCG has gone up (doctor didn't tell me what but said it was "good news") but now my breast and nipple soreness has gone. I am still not yet to my missed period day so perhaps I shouldn't expect much...but I'm really struggling to stay positive and hopeful although I know this baby deserves better. Have you found anything to help with this? I barely made it to five weeks last year so nothing to make me think I'm not on that road again...

Sorry for the whinge but losing the plot again today...

xx

I feel the same meadow lark.
My period was supposed to start today. Had a clear positive on a FR two days ago then had a two lighter ones yesterday so I'm convinced it's doomed to fail. Still got sore boobs. Got phone appointment with GP tomorrow

Bless you meadow it is so tough in the beginning to stay positive and not worry about baby. "Today I am pregnant" basically means that as far as you are aware and until something to tell you different happens, you ARE pregnant.

Your HCG levels are good so that's a positive sign. You have to just take each day as it comes, and perhaps having mini milestones to reach will help? So your first is getting to your missed period day, then past 5 weeks if that's when you lost your last little one...then there's booking in followed by 12 week scan.

Try not to look at it the whole 40 weeks, because that is so daunting, but breaking it up into smaller chunks helped me..

Totally agree, olivers, it is just so much less daunting taking baby steps past each milestone. X

Hope you got on ok sweety.

Thank say. there is a yolk but as im only 5 week she cudnt see much or hear heart so going next wed again

I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and have had a burst of energy today. I feel like a new woman! I'm glad to be feeling human again but have the underlying unease that something has gone wrong!

Good news sweety.

When is your 12wk scan sock?

I popped in to see my lovely MW today for some reassurance after feeling rubbish since the weekend. Heard bubs heartbeat again and felt some more movements this afternoon. Hopefully that keeps me ticking over until next Weds and my 20wk scan!

@SayItIsntSo1 my scan is next Tuesday morning. I had a private reassurance scan 2 weeks ago which showed a healthy baby. I just want to be over the danger zone!

I'm guessing that my jeggings becoming snug is a good sign?!

Sock ditto on 12w tomorrow and scan next Tuesday. I just want it over with also and am kinda preparing myself for bad news. Shitty really as you just want to be happy and joyful and excited.

Appointment on Tuesday isn't until 15:00 so filling the morning with meetings to keep busy and distracted.

@GingerHanna let's help each other over the next few days! My appointment is at 9am on Tuesday and I bet I don't sleep the night before!
