Staying posifrickentive- Thread 17 for ladies pg after mc

[SayItIsntSo1]

I couldn't see a new thread.

Hope you all find this one ok!

A free week would be awesome

Hi @inthemystery and @ anxiouscrazycatlady and welcome to the thread. I am so sorry about your losses

@Brenna24 I've only just read your note from the doctor this morning. I also panicked a bit at the beginning but I think that there was a pregnancy and a heart beat can be a good thing and something to pin your hopes on. It feels like ages away but I hope the next few weeks go fast so you can our 12 week scan in.

@AnUtteridiot, I feel exactly the same way. I had my 12 week scan about three weeks ago and I just feel like I’m left to my own devices until the next one at the end of July. I have my 16 week appointment next week Tuesday and so many times I've wanted to call the EPU for a reassurance scan and had to stop myself.

@mogufield I say these women have stars in their eyes and I wish I had a little bit of that naivety to just enjoy. Sadly not…

So sorry @beanhunter. Is acupuncture an option maybe if you are feeling really awful? I have never tried it myself but hear it can help…

@peachgreen I am glad you called the midwife and everything is ok. Hope you are a little more relieved.

@DancingUnicorn please rant away. I reckon we all feel a little like that at some point.

I was saying to my DH that while to most people I am 16 weeks along, to me, it has been many many days and countless hours of fear and stress and anxiety. I can’t even bring myself to buy some maternity clothes or even bigger sized clothes because I keep thinking that what if I go shopping only for it all to end the next day. I am running out of comfortable and loose clothes to wear. I just feel like crying not knowing if I am coming or going...

I gave birth to a baby boy yesterday evening at 19.50, 30+3, weighing 1.06kg. He is beautiful and we are hoping for a quiet night to recover from his rather rapid birth. The next chapter has started...

Congratulations grain. I hope all goes well and he is out of SCBU quickly.

Congratulations @grainmum, wishing you a speedy, peaceful recovery

Congratulations @grainmum. Wonderful news and I hope the journey from here is smooth for you all.
My lovely niece was born at 30+2, she is now a beautiful lively 7 year old with no health issues associated with coming early. She was a wee champ while in hospital and I am sure your wee boy will be too.

Congratulations grainmum. Wishing you all the best for the next chapter!

@grainmum Congratulations! So happy for you.

Ah congratulations @grainmum, so happy to hear you've delivered your baby boy safely after the journey you've been on. To the next step 🥂 x

Congratulations @grainmum!

Congratulations @grainmum
Wishing you both a speedy recovery xx

Congratulations grainmum I hope everything is going well and continues to do so.

I know exactly how you feel JCleRoux, the anxiety of it all is killing me. You've got to 16 weeks and that's brilliant, fingers crossed the rest of it goes smoothly for you.

I was in hospital again this morning and they're dating me at 6+6. They could see a heartbeat but the image wasn't very good so don't know if it was strong or not. They could see an area of uterine bleed as well, so not sure if that has anything to do with my bleed last week but this worries me. Booked in again for 3 weeks time so that's going to be an agonising wait.

Sending lots of love to you all xxx

@grainmum Congratulations!!! How wonderful!

@peachgreen I hope your best friend also has her babe in arms and is doing well! My friend/ former colleague welcomed her first granddaughter yesterday, a surprise at 3 weeks early. It's raining babies!

Meanwhile I have gone from shitty hay fever straight into a shitty summer coldgaaaah! I usually have acute symptoms but recover very quickly, so here's hoping it's gone before our holiday next week. Salt water gargle is keeping me talking and that's all I can really do...First group antenatal appointment / parentcraft thingy in 12 days! Looking forward to hearing baby's heartbeat for the first time (if MW doesn't intend to do it I'm going to beg!) I'll not ask if there are any other mums from NI here (I know there are but still)our mums will know our husband's cousin or have worked with our best friend or something, that's what it's like here!

Congratulations grain on your lovely little boy. Wishing you both a speedy recovery x

bean I feel your pain on the sickness front and hope your meds help. What have you been given?
Still taking mine at 17 weeks but they work so I will just take them for as long as I need x

Congratulations @grainmum sending you lots of positive and happy thoughts

@WLMcI Thank you! It seems to have been a false alarm - she's 3cm dilated but still at home on the sofa, haha! Also, I'm in NI! waves But originally from England, so no risk of my mum knowing your gran, etc. Is your Parentcraft class at the hospital? I'm going to book the Daisy Baby and Daisy Parent ones as well I think, at a later stage.

@anxiouscrazycatlady Sounds really good that things have developed and that they saw a heartbeat. I hope this three weeks goes fast for you, it's such a horrible wait!

I don't know if it's because I had an internal scan earlier but I've just noticed I've got quite a bit of brown blood/discharge when I wipe. Stressing right out now :(

Stick your feet up and try and remind yourself that this baby has already survived a bleed CatLady. I know the fear though as that is what happened to me first time round - had a heartbeat and lost it. Getting to past that point is horrendous. Just rest and tell yourself you are doing everything you can to help it.

Tootsy - cyclizine for now. Still can't eat though. Feel crap.

Hello all. Haven't posted in a while but wanted to pop in and say congratulations to grainmum and while lurking I saw her news. Congratulations !!

Oh my god @graimmum that's insane!

Congrats!!!!!

Hello all can I join? I think I'm around 4+3 so very early days. I have an almost 5 year old dd. In the past two years I've had an ectopic and two mc. Feeling unbearably anxious. Had some spotting at the weekend which has sent me into a blind panic as all the pregnancies I've lost have started like that. I have a scan next week when I should be around 5+4 to check its not ectopic.

somethingfromnothing you poor thing, sounds like you've really been through it. But congratulations on your pregnancy. My heart literally stops when I wipe and there's some spotting. I've done a lot of reading online and I think the majority of the time it's normal, but there's still the few times it does lead to a miscarriage. Fingers crossed for us both.

Thank you Brenna. Honestly, the support on here is so reassuring.

peach and idiot I hope the sickness isn't getting you down too much. I'm really struggling with just nausea so really feeling for you.

I'm going away for a week at the end of next week and I am terrified something's going to happen while I'm away from home and the hospital with all my notes in. I know there's nothing that can be done if something does happen, it just scares me so much

anxious I went abroad last week without my DH so know how you feel, I made sure I found out where the local Dr was as soon as I arrived! I enjoyed it though and felt good having got away, I'm sure you'll have a lovely time.
