Phew! It?s taken me hours to catch up.
Firstly - Emmsy ? I am so so sorry I was willing the ending to be different the whole way through my read. It won?t be conciliation to you now but I had a complete MC at 10 weeks in March and was pg again 10 weeks later. I personally think that the fact that your body did all the work itself has got to mean it recovers faster. I have a blood clotting disorder and that may or may not have been the cause of my MC, I took 70mg of aspirin after OV this cycle and am so glad I did because it was after the MC that I got diagnosed and I think the aspirin helped with this pregnancy before I started taking my heparin along with it. Might be worth you looking into along with the folic acid. Many of us came across from the TTC after a MC thread on the conception boards, there are some lovely ladies on there who will take great care of you once you are ready to get back on the roundabout again. I am so sorry hon
Goodcatholicgirl ? I hope the little bit of nausea was enough to reassure you and that it hasn?t turned into the rolling in the waves type! Hope all goes well today at the GPs, in my experience, the scans pre the dating scan are in addition to it bet those muffins were lovely!
EllieG ? that?s good, I?ll be thinking of you in your scan on Thurs. I?m belly rubbing and sending you vibes (actually, think I should say ?may the force be with you? much to Daddy?s excitement, Beanie went mental to the Star Wars theme at the weekend ? a young Jedi in the making!) hope you got past would should have been your EDD without too much pain. Can?t help with the thrush but have heard that it is very common in pregnancy ? so another good sign for you.
MOM hello! That?s sad about the March thread, doesn?t sound like much support from those losing their Los I?m good thanks
Spugs ? sorry to hear that about you?re AN thread touch wood, we have lost very few on the January thread but then again on the October thread, many of us had to leave I?ve noticed that lots have people have now joined my AN thread after the 20 week scan. I was 14+3 at my dating scan. I wish I had that innocence you talk about too but once it?s gone, it?s gone. I?ve had more of the other than the traditional pregnancy constipation I have to say, especially early on. I have 3 cats and even though I used to do the litter with gloves, it has now become DH?s job. If you have any worries about toxoplasmosis, it is worth getting peace of mind from your GP. That said, if your cats are kittens (so cute, all ears and tails!) and don?t go out then the risk is decreased ? my cats are house cats so don?t do all the things that outdoor ones do to contract the disease. Hope you feel better soon glad you got your scan date but can totally understand why you want a private one before then. We paid for a private nuchal at 13+2.
Welcome Positive good name and fits well with our motto of ?healthy and well? on this thread ? and congratulations, really pleased that you got good news at your scan you always expect the worst after a MC (and I am so sorry, yours was so late on too ? awful circumstances too) I do think I?ve relaxed a bit more after my 20 week scan (now 22 weeks) but the caution and fear remains I think. You?ll find plenty of support here
Hey Bouncing how are things? How?s work? Nursery all painted?
Toastaddict ? welcome sorry to hear about your MC I?ve not heard of circumstances like yours but thank god your tubes are ok. Congratulations on your new pregnancy and all the best for Friday ? so far I have had 5 scans this pregnancy and I have been terrified before them all ? its all part if the experience ? hope it all works out well for you.
Hey Beckle no such thing as TMI what a memory you have re me temping and that terrible dip day
Full term Fettle just a hello from me as we?ve caught up Good point about Rubles
Wow Cazzybabs ? 28 weeks!!!! I remember my MC so well, too well but then again it was honestly the worst thing that has ever happened to me, I?m not sure I?ll ever forget but I do feel ok about what would have been my EDD fast approaching on 6/10 ? I feel that I?ll be more ready in January than I am now and whilst this baby is no replacement for the one I lost, I feel that my heart has expanded and swelled for this one ? I was actually scared to death this morning when I realised how central to my universe this tiny kicking Bean has become ? I don?t know how I?d stay sane if anything happened now ? which it wont? cos we are both healthy and well
Gingercat ? hope you are ok, my boobs stopped growing and hurting a while back then started growing again but not hurting. I?m like you on the sense of smell, its incredible (a very mild superpower!) I can smell the rubbish truck from the top of the road!
Hey Feedmenow how are you? I?ve been watching those programmes too ? I was looking at a new born hat the other day and thought ?hey, that?s not that big? ? yeah right! so glad the scan went well I remember checking the nuchal stuff after my scan, they told me at the time that for my age (33) the statistical risk was 1:519 and I remember that the measurement was 2.5mm which was fine for the stage I was at which was 13+2. I think I found the measurement stats on the internet but they did have a range within which the measurement was fine and I think it was 4mm. My risk then came back 1:7851. We don?t get nuchal?s on the NHS up here, just the double test so we went private. Sorry I worried you with my absence
Hello Ejt glad the wedding was good, I find it?s the noise of these things that drives me home before the tiredness does, I am so sensitive to noise since pg! The army is behind you hon
Hey Mumpbump sorry to hear about Friday, how are you now? Keep us posted on the liver results. Bet you can?t wait to finish work! Well done finding the poem before I did made me cry again though I feel better now about my different child then I did when I first read it. Sorry you had to hear that conversation on the train
Ladies ? the poem was from an amazing book called ?Trying Again? it helped me no end when I was
Hello Glimmer LOL at the wedding ring and being obviously taken!
