Staying posifrickentive- Thread 17 for ladies pg after mc

[SayItIsntSo1]

I couldn't see a new thread.

Hope you all find this one ok!

Thanks so much Brenna - still symptom free and feeling v. anxious so have bought my private scan forward to Friday. Keeping occupied in the meantime with DS Dniece and Dnephew for the day. Hope your scan is all good, mogul

Tea its good you have so much information, but must be very difficult when you know it doesn't change anything... thinking of you and hope the time isn't dragging too much.

All the very best for your 20w scans Tootsy and JCleRoux - they're just the best!

Best wishes to everyone else, hope you're all doing good today

Good luck Dancing

Good luck @dancingunicorn, will be thinking of you.

I'm still debating whether to have an early scan or not. We have family coming the weekend I'll hit eight weeks and I know they'll guess, so I'd like to know everything's okay in there and we've got past the six weeks that it stopped last time. But I'm not 100% sure of my dates - I think I know when my lmp was but I've had quite weird periods since my MMC and it was an odd one - and have an idea of when I ovulated - so don't know if I'll rock up, find my dates are slightly out and end up more worried than anything else.

Sorry, mind vomit there! It would be just over 2 weeks away if I did book anything, which still seems an age but stupidly, I'm already getting nervous and I don't even have anything booked yet!

Good luck Mogul and Dancing. Let us know how it goes. Good luck on Friday Pies.

Scan went well, I'm so so relieved! Measuring 9 weeks 6 days, so I did ovulate really late. Saw it's little heartbeat I know I'm not out of the woods but I know at least my chances have gone up. Well worth the £40! Good luck dancing

Such good news mogul

Will be thinking of you DancingUnicorn

I'm considering an early scan whyhastherum but I hate them so much (purely because I have always been told I have miscarried when I have an early scan, rather than anything else). I might just see how things go.

Great news Mogul!

I'll be thinking of you Dancing and hoping you get good news later too.

Great newsMogul. You are only a week behind me.

Great news on your scan @mogulfield
Good luck @DancingUnicorn with your scan later

28 weeks tomorrow and I swear this baby is trying to claw her way out of my uterus! Feels more like I have a bag of kittens in there!

Have caught up and missed loads. I'm so sorry to read all the sad news of losses on the thread since I last came on here :(

@Halloumisandwich, I am so confused as to why the EPU were dismissive to you. I know it is horrible any way, but if you don't miscarry completely, or they even give you a scan to confirm that has definitely happened, you could have any risk of infection or complications. I sincerely hope you don't, but it is dangerous of them to just tell you to stay home without any kind of follow-up! I am so sorry this has happened.

I had two quite late miscarriages in a row last year, I actually think a lot of the time they don't test after that because it is still so common to happen twice, so we have to just deal with all the internal torture of "what is wrong with me, why can't my body hold a child past this stage, why can't I just have every test and know definitely why this happened to me!" I did all of that, and then I let my body recover as I was so run down and ill, and from October to February let my body just get back in cycle.

In February I did get pregnant once I had routine cycles again, and I am 24 weeks now. I know this doesn't happen for everyone and I hate those stories that try to make you feel better but actually just hurt, but I do remember thinking I could never, ever face going through that pain of loss again and almost didn't want to try for a baby again. But over time, I started to think, well me and OH got through it twice before, and all the indignity and pain that accompanies it, and I just thought OK I'll get my third miscarriage out of the way quickly now and then I'll get tested for everything. I have been a nightmare, my midwife calls me Miss Worry Pants because I do contact her so often worrying about everything. I think that is just pregnancy now for me. I just tell you this story in the hope you don't let miscarriage defeat you, it is such an unimaginable pain to suffer, and it is so common to have miscarriages and then have healthy pregnancies. I really, really hope to see you on here again soon xxx

Really pleased it went well mogul.

Hello! Can I join please? I'm currently 4+4 after three back to back early MC.

Unsurprisingly I'm feeling a bit stressed that this one isn't going to work out but my test lines have been darker than the last three pregnancies so I'm clinging to that hope. I know it's bad but I've been doing lots of tests. I would really like to see a 2-3 weeks on a digi.

I've got my first appointment at the RMC tomorrow (they bumped my appointment up when I called and said I was pregnant) so hopefully even if this doesn't stick they might see something useful in tests?

I'm currently self-medicating 75mg aspirin a day on the basis that it seems more likely to help than harm.

I have a daughter who is 27 months.

I'll try and read back a bit now!

Hello MegsMog and I hope tomorrow's appointment is useful.

Hi @MegsMog poor you, that sounds like a horrible experience but it sounds like you've been dealing with it admirably. Really hope this one works out for you, and hope you read appointment goes well tomorrow.

Hi and welcome MegsMog. I hope this is a sticky one for you.

How did your scan go Dancing?

Hope things went well for you this evening @dancingunicorn

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies!

I hope those of you awaiting scans get good news; thinking of those who haven't been so lucky.

Hi megs! Tentative congratulations, I really hope this is one sticky bean for you! I hope everything goes ok tomorrow.

I'm very relieved this evening. Scan showed a heartbeat, and everything measuring exactly to my dates. I know things can still go wrong from here, and in my last pregnancy it did. But this is a new pregnancy, and there's no reason for me to think this one shouldn't end well. The stats are stacked in my corner from this point!

Brilliant news DancingUnicorn I have been thinking if you and really pleased everything is fine. How far along are you?

Fantastic dancing and thanks everybody. I finally feel like I'm starting to allow myself a small amount of excitement and to bond a bit, whilst also still remaining a bit distant for the next 2 weeks.
Welcome megs you have a daughter so your body can do it my midwife kept telling me that today.

Great news dancing

Lovely news Dancing! I hope the rest of the weeks to 12 fly past!

Welcome megsmog

Great news on the scans ladies :)

Great news mogul and Dancing - so pleased you're begining to feel excited / optimistic

Welcome, mogs - hope today goes well and these early weeks whizz by
