Bit of a shock!

[Busyfool]

Back in April I miscarried at 6 weeks, confirmed by tests at the time & also 6 weeks later with further tests as my periods hadn't returned.
Doctor & nurse said just to be patient but still 12 weeks after MC still nothing.
Today I have been to the hospital for an ultrasound to check everything is ok after the miscarriage & the sonographer has found a 23 week baby girl! Happy & healthy, looking perfect & gorgeous!
I'm in shock! Can't believe she hung in there all this time & I am so far gone!
Has this happened to anyone else?!!
Does anyone have any advice for finding out late in pregnancy re screenings? Not too sure I am happy to have invasive testing?...
thanks!

I don't have any advice just wanted to say congratulations she must be a little fighter 💓

Aw this is so lovely, massive congratulations to you on your little miracle!!!

No idea about the testing- but what a strong spirited little girl. All the best for a trouble free rest of pregnancy!

Wow! I bet you nearly fell off the bed! No advice re testing ect but huge congrats chat to your midwife about it x

This is amazing ❤️ Congratulations on your little miracle

How amazing! Congratulations and I hope everything goes well for you both !

Wow how amazing!!!!! Congratulations!!! Best start shopping!!!

Wow!! She def needs a feisty name surely??congratulations!!

That’s wonderful news op. Scrappy little thing xx

That is just lovely to hear. Congratulations to you xx

Amazing news! You could consider NIPT for testing? Harmony or Iona or similar. It's non invasive (just a blood test) but you have to pay for it privately (normally around £400-£450). Congratulations!

What a lovely story! She is determined not to go anywhere 😊 Congratulations @Busyfool 🎉 Can you still get your anomaly scan done that's usually around 20 weeks? Personally I would be happy with getting that done. Wish you a continued happy and healthy pregnancy.

Did you have a bump and suspect it?!

This is lovely to read! Congratulations op!

Amazing news!

Congratulations! You can still have some testing and the anomaly scans would be around 20-22 weeks to check Baby development. Hope all is well with Baby. Just curious- We’re you not putting on weight?

Oh my god!!! How?! What do think happened? No miscarriage after all or a pregnancy soon after your loss?

That's amazing! Xxx

Oh this is amazing! Huge huge congratulations to you x

That is amazing, wonderful news! Yes, did you have a bump or notice movement in hindsight?

Wowwwww! Amazing news, congrats xx

Congratulations, what amazing news. No idea about invasive testing, is there any particular risk factors that would make you want/need to? There is no need to have anything other than usual dating scan, blood tests etc

Wow she must have been hiding well, I’m 23 weeks and feel like an absolute whale. Congratulations!

Wow that's amazing! I am guessing you are due in January same as me? I'm 23 +4. Looking at the dates does this mean that it wasn't the original baby? As I conceived the end of April with last period mid April. You must be in so much only 17 weeks left 😁. Ps. There is a thread for January babies called due January 2019 3rd thread.

Thanks everyone for the support! 😊

@Lymphy -haha! Yes so lucky I was laying down!

Anomaly scan completed today- all growing nicely!

@loveisland - as I had been testing with negative results & podded & poked by doc I literally just thought I was badly bloated with haywire hormones due to the MC! 🙈

@Rkay2 - boobs, bum & thighs got so much bigger in the first 6 weeks then I went on holiday & stopped hitting the gym but not too much weight gain since then...

@SleepFreeZone - dates match up as no miscarriage! Strange negative tests in between but we are so happy to know we are growing a little fighter!

@Merename - today now I know what they are I am feeling small wind type bumps but honestly I've had no sickness, or anything- very very lucky aren't I!

@redastherose - I literally haven't had any midwife app's or anything yet! Need to prep some questions for midwife I think!!! I know the time for downs testing & genetic abnormalities has past by now.
My mind is racing trying to play catch up with everything!

@aburrow93 - your dates match mine 100%. 17 weeks left scares me slightly!!! 😳
As long as she is happy in there I'm happy 😍 the rest will just have to fall into place 😜
