Hello ladies
I'm 44 and had 4 previous miscarriages..... Found out last wk I'm pregnant and incredibly anxious after so many losses and my age. Lack of symptoms aren't helping besides the stretching twinges.

Is anyone joining me in this journey?

Thanks ladies, it's such a massive support having this group ❤️

Houseelf90 · 06/02/2023 20:45

@Astar21 I’m only 6+5 so I guess there’s plenty of time yet. I’ll check if there’s a community midwife number and if I’ve not heard anything in the next week I’ll give them a call 😊 thank you!

BEL88 · 07/02/2023 09:08

@Passenger87 when's your scan? How have you been?

The days are just dragging here x

CaliGirl47 · 07/02/2023 09:58

I seem to remember a couple of ladies having scans today. But my memory isn’t great. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Do you have one today with EPU? @Tinkerbell098

All the best for your scans ladies. 💐 I’m getting so nervous for mine tomorrow. 🙈

Tinkerbell098 · 07/02/2023 11:49

@CaliGirl47 you remembered right 🙂I'm having mine at EPU at 4 pm. So so nervous. The spotting has reduced, but still getting a hint of brown when wiping, but no where as near as what it was like over the weekend. So hope it's all ok in there. I'll update you girls later X

Houseelf90 · 07/02/2023 11:59

Hope it goes well @Tinkerbell098 and anyone else who has a scan today or this week 🤞🏼

HopefulBee · 07/02/2023 12:16

Good luck @Tinkerbell098 ! Hope you have a great scan and get to see a lovely little baby with a strong heartbeat!

@CaliGirl47 my scan is tomorrow too, starting to get nervous as well. Mine is really late, at 8, so it’s a long wait tomorrow.

Thank you @Houseelf90 .

Blueskies4 · 07/02/2023 13:43

Good luck this afternoon @Tinkerbell098 🤞🏻

CaliGirl47 · 07/02/2023 18:27

@Tinkerbell098 hope your scan went well!

@BEL88 I'm ok, very crampy today and trying not to read into it but it's hard. My next scan is tomorrow. So nervous. How are you feeling, when are you due to be seen?

@HopefulBee I'll keep my fingers crossed for you tomorrow x

HopefulBee · 07/02/2023 19:15

Thank you @Furbabymum15.

@Passenger87 good luck to you as well and thank you!

Tinkerbell098 · 07/02/2023 19:21

Thanks so much everyone ❤️ all went ok with the scan. Baby was dancing about it was so sweet! Nurse didn't really know the cause of spotting, thinks it's possibly due to the cyclogest pessaries I'm on. Nothing was picked up from the scan. I can relax for a bit now. What a rollercoaster this whole journey is!

Houseelf90 · 07/02/2023 19:32

So pleased to hear @Tinkerbell098 💕

Passenger87 · 07/02/2023 19:33

@Tinkerbell098 so pleased to hear! Hopefully you feel some reassurance x

BEL88 · 07/02/2023 20:38

Aww so glad it went well today @Tinkerbell098

Will be thinking of you tomorrow @Passenger87 and all the others who have scans.

I'm struggling today. Have had some stretching or something feelings and sore boobs but don't really trust it. I've been thinking about my past due dates...one of them is coming up in a few weeks and I just kept saying to myself before that I really hope I'm pregnant when it comes but I just don't think I will be.

BEL88 · 07/02/2023 20:39

My scan is not until next Thursday @Passenger87

Astar21 · 07/02/2023 21:08

@Tinkerbell098 that's lovely to hear 💕 so pleased it went well for you

@BEL88 it's so hard not to feel anxious. Could be everything stretching? Ive had a few twinges here and there. And hate it when I sneeze 😂 I tried not to focus too much on my due dates last year, I tried to just let them pass me by so I didn't get too upset. Stay positive x

Hope tomorrow goes okay for everyone having scans ❤️

Blueskies4 · 07/02/2023 21:55

Amazing news @Tinkerbell098

Good luck for tomorrow @Passenger87 @HopefulBee @CaliGirl47 xx

Houseelf90 · 07/02/2023 22:00

@Astar21 interesting that you mention sneezing….I keep meaning to ask if it’s normal to get a sharp pain when I sneeze and sometimes when I cough?! Is that what you’re getting?

00Bubbles00 · 08/02/2023 00:12

Just to say that my scan today also went well (so pleased for you @Tinkerbell098 !). Little tiny tiny bean measuring 6+3 (which is what I expected as I thought I'd ovulated a few days later than usual last cycle due to my MC in December). I was so prepared for bad news (I told the sonographer that I was expecting her to have to break bad news - I felt like I wanted her to know it was ok to tell me there was an issue). It felt genuinely magical to hear that tiny heartbeat after genuinely expecting nothing to be there. Very early days still and so not counting any chickens but at least today was a good day.

Sending lots of support to those with scans coming up.

CaliGirl47 · 08/02/2023 07:41

That’s amazing news! @Tinkerbell098 I’m SO pleased for you. They’re so cute once they reach the jelly baby stage and that can actually move about in screen 😆👶🏼

So pleased your scan went well too @00Bubbles00 Hearing their heartbeat feels like such a miraculous experience 💓

I’ve feel so nervous this morning it’s making me feel nauseous. My scan is quite early at 9:30 so hubby is coming with me for support. I just keep thinking about last time I was at that hospital with my mc in November.😢 I’m really hoping and praying that things will be different this time. 🙏🏻

Will be thinking of you both as well today, and hoping we all see lovely sticky beans on the screens. 🌈✨👶🏼 @HopefulBee @Passenger87

Vwswimmer1 · 08/02/2023 07:56

So lovely to hear how people's scans are going. Good luck for yours today @CaliGirl47.

Mine is on the 14th so I'm trying not to get too stressed out before then.

pinkpirlie · 08/02/2023 08:10

So happy @Tinkerbell098 and @00Bubbles00 you had lovely experiences at your scans.

Good luck today @CaliGirl47 , @Passenger87 & @HopefulBee

I've booked another private scan between now and my 12 week scan to provide some more reassurance. The scan place is good that subsequent assurance scans are only £39 so it makes it much more affordable to slip an extra one in. Still a few weeks to wait though.

@Vwswimmer1 the 14th will come around quickly I hope.

@Houseelf90 /@Astar21 I also get sharp pains when sneezing. I had found if I can manage to hold lightly in the spot it hurts before I sneeze it seems to hold my muscles in place and the pain is lessened. At the beginning (& I know it is completely illogical) I was convinced I was going to sneeze the baby out. It has made that a little less worrisome now I have managed to limit the pain a little.

Houseelf90 · 08/02/2023 08:43

@pinkpirlie ahh thats reassuring that it’s not just me, thank you!! I’ll try holding the area and see if that helps 😊
