Spark27 · 10/03/2020 12:42

Great news @BntTowers

MrsD1990 · 10/03/2020 13:05

Yay good news @bnttowers! Glad you've got to see your little bean.

@quiffy so much better today thank you, don't know how I'd keep working if it was the same as yesterday. Glad you're also feeling better and you've found food you can eat - my taste had gone super basic, cheese and tomatoes sandwiches for lunch today but it was exactly what I needed!!

BntTowers · 10/03/2020 13:20

@Glitterbug86 I hope you get sorted soon!

Thanks everyone. I'm so happy, it feels so real now. I'm also glad I've got the afternoon to relax and nap.

I called up my doctors today because I have lost all symptoms and my symptoms were bad - they said it could be a missed miscarriage nothing I can do but wait for my scan which is on the 25th. I can’t even take time off work to go in for a early scan as we are so under staffed .

SkyBlue20 · 10/03/2020 15:07

Sorry to hear that @zaalfruit - a lot of people say their symptoms tail off as they get towards 10/12 weeks so hopefully it’s just that. Can you get an evening private scan? They do them until quite late here. Sending you positive vibes 💕

MsSian93 · 10/03/2020 15:15

So pleased for you @BntTowers !

@Zaalfruit i stopped feeling any symptoms last weekend but a few came back a few days later. I think things are calming down since it's getting closer to the second trimester

bluemoon2468 · 10/03/2020 19:53

@Zaalfruit after weeks of really strong symptoms over the past week 9-10 weeks my symptoms have started fluctuating a lot more. There are days that are still bad and others where I almost feel fine. I think at this stage it's normal for symptoms to start disappearing!

Glitterbug86 · 10/03/2020 20:28

Thanks @bnttowers, me too 🙂

@zaalfruit just to mirror what the other girls have said, supposedly symptoms usually start to ease off around now. I know it's unnerving and you have to prepare yourself for the worst, but I would still be hopeful that that's what may be happening here. The 25th sounds like an awful long wait though - could you possibly get in somewhere for a scan on an evening or a Saturday before then?

LostinAusten2 · 10/03/2020 21:54

@BntTowers - so happy for you, what a relief! I did the same thing last weekend: went for a private scan and so relieved to see there was a little heartbeat in there 😊

@Glitterbug86 - sending you best wishes. And @Zaalfruit - it’s entirely up to you, but I think some of the private scans can do next day appointments and are flexible on times, so do have a think (best £70 I think I’ve spent just for peace of mind)

Hey everyone - last night I just came home and just wanted to leave my phone aside I just slipped into bed .My husbands currently On a Business trip and I don’t think I can face being alone in place and finding out everything is lost . I am just going to try and be positive and if it’s meant to be it’s meant to be. I haven’t told my family yet - I feel so awful disappointing my dad - he was so excited . I didn’t think I could get pregnant the doctors said the chances were not that high and that I should wait - but in the midst of not trying it happened. I can’t even share it with my husband yet because his work place asked them all just before he left for Stockport if they want to take voluntary redundancy as their team will be hit with involuntary redundancies And he was so sad and I just didn’t have the heart to mention it . I looked for scans in my area - my areas not that great it doesn’t have much and I don’t have a car currently so can’t even venture out . My husband is back next week so will discuss with him then.

Sorry I wrote a lot probably because it’s 5:19 am.

On another note - sending positive vibes to everyone 🥰

bluemoon2468 · 11/03/2020 06:15

@Zaalfruit so sorry you're feeling so down and you're alone. Is it just that your symptoms have gone or have you had bleeding or anything? If it's just symptoms then I honestly wouldn't assume the worst. MMC are really rare compared to regular MC with spontaneous bleeding. I hope you feel better soon ❤

Daisythesnail · 11/03/2020 07:20

Zealftuit, please don’t give up until you know it’s over.

My story isn’t going to help you though- sorry.

I went to my (rescheduled due to toddler hosp visit) booking appt yest morn. Got a scan date of Match 25th.
My bump really popped out during 27 hours in hosp. Still nauseous, breathless needing wee every 5 mins etc.
Panicked that by scan date whole country could be in lockdown and with a snotty toddler I might not be allowed out for weeks. On the spur of the moment, without pre thought I booked a private scan for the aft.

Just me and toddler there (I’m a single Mum used a sperm donor)
Was totally expecting to see a wriggling bean, had no reason to be worried, no pain no bleeding feel mega pregnant.
Bean was there.. but still... no heartbeat. Massive horrendous shock. It had stopped growing at 7 weeks but I haven’t miscarried. It’s called a silent miscarriage apparently.

So many emotions. Obviously haven’t slept. Hadn’t realised how much I’d subconsciously planned this baby into our lives. Terrified of miscarriage stating but having researched, if it hasn’t started by now it will prob need medication or an opp. Managed to get through to midwife before they closed last night, she said to phone GP in morn. Phone lines open at 8.
Couldn’t face ringing my sister or mum to tell them last night, so no one knows yet, except my boss, had to ring to say I’m not in today.

Hope and pray no one else goes through similar

SkyBlue20 · 11/03/2020 07:43

Oh @daisythesnail I am so, so sorry. I’m sending you all of the love and strength, please do speak to your mum or sister and let them be there for you - and we’re here, too. Lots and lots of love xxx

MsSian93 · 11/03/2020 07:45

@Daisythesnail I am so sorry to hear that, sending lots of love and comfort your way xx

SkyBlue20 · 11/03/2020 07:45

@Zaalfruit I’m so sorry you’re feeling so low. Like @bluemoon2468 said, please try not to assume the worst - I know a lot of us are going through reduced symptoms now and it’s really quite normal as you hear towards 12 weeks. Completely understand how you must be feeling though - it’s the unknown, isn’t it? Please do confide in someone so you’re not shouldering the worry alone and I’m sending lots of positive thoughts your way. Xxx

Glitterbug86 · 11/03/2020 07:59

@Daisythesnail I'm so sorry for your loss and that you're going through this. You poor thing, I can only imagine the shock you must've got. Thinking of you and sending you hugs ❤️

@zaalfruit that's a tough situation you're in. Please don't worry about disappointing your dad though - if he's disappointed I'm sure it will be disappointment for you. I would tell your husband if I were you also - you don't know anything for sure yet but there's no reason for you to be going through this alone either. I'm sure he'd want to know and you'd try to support each other during this wait. In the meantime it's prob best you try rest up. And do try to remain hopeful until you do have an answer. It may all work out ok yet x

Glitterbug86 · 11/03/2020 08:46

I've just had a call from the EPU and they've had a cancellation this morning so I've been offered the appointment. Will update ye after. Praying everything is ok

SkyBlue20 · 11/03/2020 09:01

That’s good, @Glitterbug86 - not too long to wait! Good luck and do let us know how it goes. Sending positive vibes over to you xx

Quiffy · 11/03/2020 09:08

@Daisythesnail I'm so very sorry, take care of yourself and get some IRL support. Very cruel

Zaalfruit · 11/03/2020 09:13

Thank you everyone and @Daisythesnail I’m so sorry to hear that. Are you alright , I can’t imagine what you are going through x did you manage to speak to your doctors ?

I’m trying my best to stay positive - I booked a scan for Sunday just waiting for the confirmation email - my husband will be back on Saturday so will tell him then . I am just hoping and praying everything is alright - if it isn’t I’m gearing myself to tell my parents and in laws . I’m just going to throw myself in to work as it’s a good distraction.

@Glitterbug86 good luck and lots of positive vibes 💐

Zaalfruit · 11/03/2020 09:14

@Quiffy I hope you feel better , drink lots of fluids do you don’t become dehydrated xxx

Quiffy · 11/03/2020 09:21

@Zaalfruit That sounds like a really good plan - hopefully the week goes quickly and you'll be able to see in no time

Glitterbug86 · 11/03/2020 10:31

Thanks all for the messages. So relieved so say that everything looks ok. She couldn't see where the bleeding would've come from but baby is healthy. Arms were moving around and could see the heart beating away. Such a massive relief and feeling very happy
