Cece, such a lovely name, there will be quite a few of us lighting a little candle for Hope tonight I imagine and my thoughts are with you and your family. You are being so brave, do look after yourselves. x

It feels wrong to be joining this thread now, after cece's sad, sad news. What a lovely name cece, and do take care of yourself x x

May I join though?
I know some of you from various ttc after mc threads..... I'm 6w5d pg after 2 mcs this year. They were both between 5 and 6 wees, so fingers crossed.
I had a scan yesterday and we saw a heartbeat... And i feel absolutely atrocious. I was dreadfully sick with dd (4.5), so I know this is a good sign, but I also know it feels like my body is having a riot. Bleurgh.

Looking forward to getting involved in Knicher Checkers Anonymous, and finally feel brave enough to be here.....

cece - i think the name hope is so lovely . . . have been thinking of you too and also how amazing this thread is. i can almost feel all our vibes and thoughts to you myself.
please take very good care of yourself now . . .

I guess I should officially de-lurk myself.

I know many names from the MC avengers already - but I had an mc at 9 and a half weeks in august and am now 12 weeks (today according to my scan on tues!). This will be my first child.
Its been a rollercoaster already and I don't expect that will change much but I am determined to be positive, while still checking knickers at any given opportunity.

Welcome alittlebitshy and tjuice.
Congrats on your pgcy and I hope we will all continue to support each other.

welcome to the thread ALBS and Tjuice I've only been here a few weeks myself.

Hey alittlebitshy and tjuice. these ladies are awesome and as you can see there is a lot of love and support in here. How you feeling Tjuice? I'm looking forward to 12 weeks too. (boxing day)

Cece... I'm sending you the biggest most gentle hug that can fit through the network. What a lovely gift from your MW. I'm so touched at how you were treated at hospital.

hey mcchesers if I make it to 12 weeks it could either be day after Boxing day (traditional 28 days LMP cycle) Boxing day (recalculated for my cycle) or Christmas day (what baby measured at scan)

fingers crossed for all of us xxx

Welcome TJuice and Alittlebitshy. You've joined a very supportive thread. Only 4+5 here so I've got a long way to go. Told doc yesterday that I was a member of Knicker Checkers Anonymous and he laughed. He's glad there's support out there for those of us with Post Tramatic Miscarriage Disorder.

At the present moment I'm bummed that the nurse hasn't called with my HCG results from yesterday...guess they're not back from the lab yet. Temps are still high so my bun is still cooking...GREAT! Had MS yesterday but none today . It's really early still so I'm trying to worry. Scan yesterday didn't show a thing. It's really too soon but doc felt good that there wasn't anything abnormal looking in there. Scan and bloods schedule again next Monday...again probably too soon to see any good stuff.

Just checking in before I go to bed.

thank you again for all your kind messages. I agree the staff at the hospital were lovely and I have a bereavement midwife coming to do a home visit on Monday (I think) sorry all a bit of a blur today. The chaplain is also phoning about the funeral...

Cece - just wanted to add my condolences and deepest wishes. My heart goes out to you all

ALBS & TJuice, glad you feel strong enough to join us here now! Are you both past your 'danger points' now? Hope the rest of your pgs goes smoothly, it gets easier as you go along although doubt you will give up the knicker checking - I still do it at 38 weeks!

Sounds like things are going well Twighlight, hopefully scan on Mon will show a bit more for you.

Dear Cece,
May you find strength that strangers from around the world have you, your family, and Hope in their hearts tonight.

Thanks Becklesparkle.

Cece, sounds like you are getting some good support from the MWs around you. Sending you another hug x

havent been around for ages and just finished reading everyones posts and sitting here with tears at hearing cece's news -
my problems seem so insignificant right now

cece - if i'm correct i remember speaking to you on another topic. I'm so sorry to hear your sad news about baby Hope.
all i can say is that i am thinking about you.

Welcome ALBS and Tjuice! Glad you've finally come out of the shadows x

Hey Kitty..fell asleep after my post. Sorry I missed you. How are you doing? 12 weeks on Boxing day is just a guess..but I'm three days behind you so whenever you are then three days after that. Anyway..I'll be home in Texas. I'm going to see a midwife near my mom's place. Just to give myself some confidence. We're going to be fine Kitty..we all are xxx

So now THIS coming Tuesday is my booking in appointment. I've never gotten this far, so am very excited. Still feeling rubbish with MS, and am home today with some kind of chest congestion but at least I can heave in peace.
Roll on holiday!

Cece still thinking of you and releived to hear you are getting suport from a midwife.

I had my scan on wednesday and had a good clear view as I had to have an internal as I couldn't hold my overful bladder any longer, I went for a wee three mins before she called me in. I was amazed that the babies spine was so clear that I didn't really look at much else! My next one is on the 28th and I will take both of my girls with me which they are really looking forward to. Hopefully I can find out the sex of the baby too, if not I have my 20 week scan on the 16th Jan and can find out then.

Great news about your scan G43 I know how worried you have been, hopefully after 20 weeks you will start to relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

mcchesers - do you not have a EDD yet? My LMP was 4th October by conventional counting I am 10+1 weeks today but I think I am 10+3 (hopefully). No bleeding since yesterday morning which was only a little brown gunk so am keeping everything crossed. I am seriously thinking of phoning EPAS up on Monday and saying I have had more bright red bleeding and cramps just to have a scan before Christmas but I don't really like to incase it's tempting fate and also I'm scared in case there is something wrong IYSWIM.

Hello to everyone else especially cece my thoughts are with you x

Hi Kitty, sorry fell asleep again. I went to SG for my early scan. Baby was measuring 6+5 on Nov 23 and that was after testing positive on Nov 2. No one said it was abnormal..I ov late. I guess I am 9+5 today but will have a better idea on Tuesday. Where are you going that they won't help you? Why won't your GP give you a referral?
The first scan when I found out about the mmc was with the Nuffield hospital in Glasgow. They were very very nice and were fine with other people's DCs. I went to my GP first thing to get referred because of last time having to wait 16 weeks. I'll be happy to know the score on Tuesday so I can buy big jeans. Everything feels ok so far, just trying not to get complacent.

I saw Dr Cameron and he's a specialist in fetal medicine. If you go on a Saturday, I can go with you or watch the girls. I really hope you get some answers soon. I can only handle so much being mad on your behalf before I go out and kick someone's ass

thanks for the welcome!

i had my first mw appointment today which turned out to be about three or four weeks too early. but she was quite nice.
she told me that we could try and listen for a heartbeat today but not too worry if we couldn't hear one as its only 12 plus 1 etc etc. i had a scan on tues and saw the heartbeat so wasn't too worried but it was wonderful to hear it beating away really strongly today!

i walked home and suddenly felt really tearful, not sure why, i am very happy but its those little moments that make you realise that it really is happening - know what i mean?

Oh Tjuice that's great! You will carry that feeling with your for a lifetime. I'm really happy for you xx

tjuice

Yey TJuice - it'll be all those lovely hormones making you teary!

I am glad your scan was good.
Went to DS christmas concert this morning, it was lovely
