Navigating pregnancy after loss thread 2

[Cruz86]

New thread as we all continue our journeys in pregnancy 🌈❤️

Thank you @Raindrops2015 and @arianasky it is so so scary isn't it. Analysing every tiny feeling, pull, cramp or twinge..I'm with you. Can you book an earlier scan? I'm not sure it helps everyone but it might help if somethings causing you a worry? I've taken my first cyclogest today and am already having a crampy belly 😱 x x x

@Tulip1112 @Raindrops2015 lovely news on the scans ladies ❤️🌈 xx

@arianasky sometimes we need a break when anxiety gets high. Sending you a hug! Pregnancy after loss is really hard I thought it would get easier but I'm finding it hard still. It's always in the back of your head. Take it day by day your scan will be here in no time 💕 I'm sure everything will be perfect xx

@Cruz86 we have a rescan from my private one in a week and a half and if that fails then my 20 week scan is on the 17th 🤞 so 2 more tries 🤣🙈 I'm desperate to know now 🙊 so glad u are feeling better 💕 and good luck with your scan was it tomorrow? 🙌🎉 Xx

Oh I'm glad that's reassured you @Artisticpiglet3, it really is a great feeling when you finally find the heartbeat after 5/10 minutes!

That's amazing @Tulip1112, great news all round 🥰

5 days ahead?! Wow @Raindrops2015! That's so good 😊 Sorry you were in such distress before the scan though, it's so tough isn't it 😞 Hopefully the injections will help to bring the cyst down. My scan is tomorrow afternoon!

Sorry your anxiety is bad at the moment @arianasky. I also have pinching pains on my left side and I remember having it with my son too. It should just be everything pulling/stretching!

Oh it's good they're rescanning you @Skl2021! Come on baby, two tries to tell us whether you're a boy or a girl 😂🤞🏻 Yes mine is tomorrow afternoon 😬

Xx

I’ve never really looked into it, I don’t have any signs of a urine infection and haven’t had much discharge, the only discharge I’ve had has been clear. Have you had swabs take or just urine sample? @Cruz86

I’ve just had my dating scan - measuring 11+3 (EDD 12/11) exactly where I thought I was from O! Seeing babe wriggling about is so heartwarming! Xx

I had swabs taken as well @Prayingformyrainbow93 but I found out today that they're all clear! So I've just been having weird discharge 😂 One of those lovely pregnancy things!

Congratulations on your dating scan, amazing that it's exactly where you thought you would be 🥰

@Prayingformyrainbow93 lovely news 💕🌈 so pleased for you! X

@Cruz86 I don't know if 2 tries is enough the way it's behaving 🤣🙈 we will see 🤞 keep everything crossed! Oh how lovely 💗 how u feeling about it xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 fab news! I'm panicking about scans as I don't know my O date..don't want them to date me weeks out and then to have that stress and panic xx

There’s too many things to worry about, especially after what we’ve all been through but if nothing has come back I’d think it’s just one of those weird symptoms like you say! Are you excited for tomorrow? Have you had any early scans? @Cruz86
Thankyou so much @Skl2021 I’m hoping that we can find out the sec of our babe too but each scan we’ve been to they’ve been wriggling around all over the place so I bet we end up like you 🤣 fingers crossed you get to found out at your next scan 🤞🏼
@calimc83 Did you track at all? Or do you have trends to go off in previous months? I had a chemical pregnancy so I knew that the dates wouldn’t be exactly as they say. I have only ever used those clear blue smiley face ones so I did have an idea when O was. I’m sure everything will be absolutely fine, do you have any scans booked yet? Xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 haha I hope so too 🤞🤞 never had an early gender scan so was looking forward to finding out earlier! Haha just my luck hope yours goes easier!! 🤞🙊 Xx

How many weeks are you now? @Skl2021 the place I’ve had my private scans can do them from 14 weeks, I was thinking of waiting until 16. We haven’t told anybody yet, I was going to do the we’re having a baby and it’s a “girl/boy” at the same time but I don’t want to miss it 😬 xx

Amazing news on the scans ❤️❤️ I feel like this is a lucky thread despite all the spotting and bleeding, fingers crossed for everyone 🤞🤞 I am booking another private scan for the 7th, when I'll be 14 weeks, because that's just easier than to be worried all the time

@Tulip1112 @Skl2021 it really is hard isn't it I knew I'd be anxious but it's getting a bit much now

@Cruz86 I think deep down I know it's all ok but it's just the anxiety that makes me be like that

@Prayingformyrainbow93 amazing news 💕🌈

Thankyou lovely @arianasky i hope your anxiety settles down! I was really anxious at first too but kept reminding myself that there’s nothing that I can do to change any outcome, and I’ve tried to stay as relaxed as possible. I always check on here everyday but it can be hard comparing everything to everybody because every pregnancy is so different! I’ve not had bad symptoms really and I questioned if everything was ok because I wasn’t experiencing what somebody else was. I’m sure you’re going to be absolutely fine, positive thinking ♥️♥️🌈 xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 I'm 17 weeks now but my local clinic would only do them from 16 weeks didn't know anywhere that do them that early! Yes we're planning on doing the same the announcement and gender in one go! I have been to scared to believe I'm actually pregnant never mind telling everyone 🙈 xx

@arianasky it does get a bit much at times. Hopefully u will feel better after your scan ❤️ keep positive xx

Wow time is flying for you! Nearly half way already ♥️ @Skl2021 xx

@Skl2021 I’ve felt exactly the same, not quite able to believe I’m pregnant & thinking everything I feel is due to the medication X

@Prayingformyrainbow93 that cycle I caught I decided not to track 😆🙈 I was ovulating roughly around day 15 ish..so that'd put me 2 weeks behind my dates 😩. Booked a scan for a few weeks, when I'll be 10ish weeks. Lost my last pregnancy at 9ish xx

Haha cheeky baby @Skl2021! I'm not feeling too bad but only because I rented a Doppler that I've been using every other day. Otherwise, I'd be a complete and utter mess!

I know, I was really panicking but feel much better knowing it's just one of those things @Prayingformyrainbow93! I am very excited for tomorrow actually. Normally I'm petrified but I feel quite calm. Not sure if that'll be the case tomorrow though 😂

@arianasky anxiety can be really debilitating when it takes over. I wish I had some words of wisdom in terms of ways to control it 😞

@calimc83 sorry remind me, have you had a scan already?

Xx

So I counted the first day of bleeding with the CP as CD1, I had a peak reading CD17. If like the NHS use CD1 as the first day of LMP I’d be 11+5 and I was dated today at 11+3 so I think if you have a rough idea where you think you might be it’s not as worrying if you’re behind what they say you are if you get me 🤣 I just remember going to that first private scan and seeing a heartbeat and automatically relaxing because there’s so many factors that can change the date especially when they’re literally so tiny! Where they do those measurements if they move their line slightly, the date can change by days! Try not to worry I’m sure you’ll be absolutely fine ♥️

Ah I’m excited for you @Cruz86 so magical 🌈 let us all know how you get on xx

@Cruz86 Nope not had one yet! Didn't want to go too early and not see anything 😩 is it your 12 week scan tomorrow? Where did u rent the Doppler? Was it a lot?
@Prayingformyrainbow93 yeah that makes sense, thanks. I just remember when I went for my last early scan and I was around 4/5 days out with my dates and she was like 'oh are u sure of your dates'..at that point everything was fine and I wonder if secretly she knew something was off 🤔 xx

Aww thank you @Prayingformyrainbow93 ☺️ it's been 3 weeks since my last scan! I can't believe we're starting to get to this point and beyond in this thread. It's so lovely 🥰

That's fair enough @calimc83! How far do you think you are now? Yes my scan is tomorrow afternoon! I should be 12+5 going by previous scans so we'll see what they say. I rented it from www.annawiz.com. It's £19.95 a month and then you just return it when you're finished with it. I'll end up spending the same amount as buying one, but it just meant I could split the cost over a couple of months. I'll only keep it until I start feeling regular movements ☺️

Xx

Oh that’s awful I completely understand why you would feel that way with that kind of comment! I’ve got all crossed for you that you and everyone on here are going to be just fine ♥️ So best of luck, and in the meantime whilst you wait for your scan just stay as relaxed as possible! @calimc83

Ah has it! Weirdly I’ve had a scan every 2 weeks on the day since 7 weeks! I was wanting my dating scan a little bit later but it was nevertheless lovely to go again today ♥️ I’m going to book a gender scan I think I will wait until around 16 weeks for that one! Seems like a long time to wait in between but time is also going quite quickly for all of us I think! Hopefully this chat continues until we’ve all got our precious bundles in our arms ♥️ @Cruz86 xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 it would be lovely this chat keeps going & we all go on to have our babies 💙💖💙💖

@Prayingformyrainbow93 ahh thank you, same to you xx I'm ok most of the time. Every now and then the anxiety definitely creeps up, especially when I think about scans!
@Cruz86 ohh interesting! Do u find it reassuring? Was it easy to find the heartbeat? Ahh it seems like you're flying through it, I'm 8 weeks today xx
