bundle, missed this thread last night. Good luck, thinking of you too.

ScummyMummy · 30/10/2002 08:53

bundle, I do hope everything's ok. Will think of you today also. xx

Enid · 30/10/2002 09:23

Thinking of you bundle and Katherine, hope everything resolves itself happily for you x E

bundle · 30/10/2002 10:31

thanks everyone, feeling a bit better today, and talked to my mum about it on the phone last night - I sounded so matter of fact! she make me calmer and I hope I can take some of that with me tomorrow. Ghosty - hope to have some indication of results on Mon/Tues but the full chromosome thing takes 10 days/2 weeks because they have to grow them!

Marina · 30/10/2002 11:58

Very glad indeed to hear you are feeling better today, Bundle.

bundle · 30/10/2002 12:02

thanks Marina, I just got myself into a panic yesterday but fish n chips, Eastenders, dh being particularly nice all helped!
how are you by the way?

Katherine · 30/10/2002 13:24

Hi everyone. Still not sure where I am with this baby. Spotting has reduced but felt so crampy last night. OK this morning though. MW couldn't find HB but said this was nothing to worry about at this stage as its still early (11.5wks). She has booked me a scan but they couldn't see me till next Wednesday. She suggested I phone the EPU instead which I will do later today and hopefully they will see me tomorrow. Feeling pretty low as this is exactly the same point I got to when I had my first MC. How I wish I was one of these women who have such irregular periods they get to 4 months before discovering they are pg. Not sure I could ever face going throught the first trimester again. Better go make this phonecall now. Really trying to stay positive but.......

Bundle, that is such a horribly long time to wait. Thinking of you.

Hi everyone. I posted a few wks back about not feeling ill enough to believe this is a healthy pregnancy. Things looked up soon after when I started feeling like death! But at 8 wks I started spotting and over the w/e the bleeding was so heavy I was sure it was all over. Went for a scan on mon just to be sure and to my amazement was presented with one large peanut with a very strong heartbeat!! I've had to readjust to being pregnant all over again as I'd pretty much said goodbye. So Katherine I know how you feel and i really hope the same thing happens to you. And good luck to Melly and Bundle with the amnio - I'm thinking of having one myself because of my age (40)but am very fearful as i didn't have one last time.

bundle · 30/10/2002 17:22

Jodiesmum, that's great news, and I'll keep you informed about the amnio. I seem to recall last time I felt it was definitely worth doing.

TigerFeet · 31/10/2002 16:03

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this bizarre feeling. I'm 17 weeks and on Tuesday and today I have felt what I can only describe as an odd 'pressure', like if I stand for too long I feel like everything is going to fall out. On Tuesday it felt better after I went to the loo. Do you think it is constipation + pelvic floor weakening or something else. I saw my MW this morning for routine check and heard the heartbeat for the first time which made me feel better but have just spent the last hour going round Ikea clenching my pelvic floor to keep everything in! My MW told me as long as there was no discharge it was prob. ok and asked me if I'd had any problems going to the loo? Any ideas, comments?

MiriamW · 31/10/2002 20:20

Bundle and Katharine,

Thinking of you both, and hoping that you both get good news, and soon.

Miriam

OuiOui · 01/11/2002 08:48

Tigerfeet - is this your first baby? No panic at all, but I felt that as well but at about 25 weeks and I was convinved that I had an "incompetemt cervix" - if that's the case then I believe you can stitches to hold it all in. Horrible medical terms - I would call NHS Direct to discuss unless your midwives are very receptive to us very anxious monthers.

OuiOui · 01/11/2002 09:06

Really bad backache today - not even 8 weeks - is that normal? it's my second and the first time I was fine for months and months - are my back muscles weaker or something? - not that bb's very heavy yet.

TigerFeet · 01/11/2002 09:17

No, its my second pg and I've also thought about the incompetent cervix possibility but as I have no strange discharge I'm not too concerned. As for backache, like you I had nothing with no. 1 but between 8-11 weeks with no.2 I had terrible backache on and off. I think its related to weakening stomach muscles as this can result in backache. It did go though.

jessi · 01/11/2002 11:30

Hello, please may I join you pregnant ladies? I am only 5 1/2 weeks but have an insatiable desire to talk pregnancy things! This is our second and ds is 3. My only symptoms are really sore boobs and odd cramps which I had with ds and convinced myself I was having an ectopic pregnancy, only to be told it was completely normal! Anyway, hello!

Katherine · 01/11/2002 13:00

I lost the baby yesterday. I won't go into all the horrible details here as its not the place.
Thank-you all for your support. I wish you all the very best and hopefully I will be posting happier news again in a few months time.

Enid · 01/11/2002 13:08

Katherine, so sorry to hear your sad news. Lots of virtual hugs, x E

jessi · 01/11/2002 13:17

Oh Katherine, I am so sorry. I hope you are being looked after well. Sending you lots of love, Jessi x

OuiOui · 01/11/2002 13:33

Katherine - really sorry to hear your news. Nothing we can say can take your pain away. take care of yourself!

Rosy · 01/11/2002 14:29

WideWebWitch · 01/11/2002 16:59

Katherine I'm sorry. Try to take care of yourself.

Oh Katherine - I'm so sorry. I know this must be such a hard time for you, especially as this is the same timing as your last miscarriage. Just to say that I am (and I'm sure all of us are) thinking of you.

Ghosty · 01/11/2002 20:39

Katherine, I am so so so sorry about your news ... don't really know whaat to say ... except that I am sending you loads of love and cyber hugs ...
