Early scan today - petrified!

I am sitting here waiting to go for an early scan at lunchtime, I had really light spotting last night (am 10 wks) and a little this morning. Went to the docs who got me booked in straight away to get checked out. This has all happened so quickly I am not coping very well...

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I know you must be very worried, but hopefully all will be well.
Sending you positive vibes, mandler.
Is anyone going to the scan with you?

KezzaG · 21/03/2007 10:36

Oh poor you, I have a dating scan Friday and no bleeding yet I am so scared I almost dont want Friday to come, so I cannot imagine how you must feel, especially as it has happened quite quickly.

Good luck, I really hope all is ok

Good luck, mandler! Glad you have someone to go with you...

Hopeitwontbebig · 21/03/2007 11:02

Good luck mandler. I too had light spotting at 9 and a half weeks, had a scan and all was well. Hope it goes well for you.

Edmond · 21/03/2007 11:04

good luck

BetsyBoop · 21/03/2007 12:56

I hope everything goes well for you at the scan.

I know how you are feeling. I'm 8wks & have had light brown spotting for the past 3 days & my community m/w has just arranged for me to have a scan at our EPU tomorrow morning.

Part of me is terrified to go, but then it's better knowing now if there's a problem I guess rather than worrying for potentially 4 more weeks until my dating scan....

Just back and now looking at a pic of our baby! The right size, heartbeat present so all seems well. I do though have almost like a 'bruise' from implantation which is apparently common and goes away. This prob caused the bleeding so hopefully is the same for you tomorrow. How unpredicatble is pregnancy - last night fine, today went through doctor, much crying, hospital and saw our baby all in the space of a few hours!

KezzaG · 21/03/2007 15:29

Well done Mandler, really good news.

Saturn74 · 21/03/2007 18:24

So pleased for you, Mandler.
Wishing you the best of luck, BetsyBoop.

Congratulations Mandler!! Weren't you on the October antenatal thread at one point? Haven't seen you on it for a while...

I've been lurking Mumpbump - the thread was moving too quick for me to keep up! How are you?

OP posts:

Mumpbump · 22/03/2007 11:09

Doing well - just had a good 12 week scan yesterday so very pleased! It's hard to keep up with the antenatal thread, isn't it? Only managing it 'cos I'm quiet at work at the moment!

mandler · 22/03/2007 11:13

Oh congratulations! I am managing to work from home today, thankfully, as have horrible stomach upset. I think yesterday's rollercoaster was too much for me!

MrsMcJnr · 22/03/2007 12:02

I have only just seen this thread but wanted to say how pleased I am that things went well I know how nerve wracking bleeds and early scans can be. Take good care of yourself!

giulia68 · 22/03/2007 12:51

mandler, i had bleeding from 10 weeks to around 14 weeks ( a month - on and off) with my DS,now aged 21 months. The most awful rollercoaster experience I have ever been through, but mumsnets was and is wonderfully comforting, because unfortunately, so many people on here have been through it. Keep calm, keep still and look after yourself, so glad you have seen a heartbeart and had a good scan. Giulia.

BetsyBoop · 22/03/2007 13:30

back from my scan

All is well & we have a heartbeat. I'm measuring a couple of days behind but they say that's nothing to worry about.

Phew

Glad you got good news too mandler, it's such a relief isn't it?

KezzaG · 22/03/2007 13:36

Well done Betsy, I was checking this to see if you had any news. you must be so relived.

MrsMcJnr · 22/03/2007 14:39

Great news Betsy

Hello Kezza - I miss chatting to you! how are you hon?

KezzaG · 22/03/2007 14:41

Hi Mrs, Im good thanks. Scan tomorrow so worried sick, just the usual!

How are you? I sometimes have a look on the limbo thread you started but feel a bit stalkerish posting

MrsMcJnr · 22/03/2007 15:00

Really hope the scan goes well there must be quite a few scans on the October thread as most people must be hitting the 12 week mark (that would have been me today ) fingers crossed for the rest of the golden piglets x

KezzaG · 22/03/2007 15:20

Oh Mrs, its such a crap time for you right now I really feel for you. My gp who I saw after 2nd mc said the only thing that would make me feel better would be a positive 12 week scan and I think she is right.

I will do a little dance of joy when I see you post that you are pg again

MrsMcJnr · 22/03/2007 15:38

Thanks hon, we are trying our hardest to score again!
