I've just had a quick read through. Sorry to hear about all those with bad news.

LoobyLou36 · 16/12/2008 21:38

ladyhelen2 I'm so glad to still see you on here. I'm feeling movement too, felt quite a few kicks today at least I think thats what they are.

sausagemcgrah · 16/12/2008 21:50

Evening all,

joyfuleyes I can imagine it must be very difficult being at the same point as when you had problems in the past. Not long until your scan, then hopefully you might be able to relax a little.

lastboxoftampons - so glad the scan went well for you. Brilliant news just before Christmas and the time will fly until your next scan.

cece - I hope the baby's been jigging about a bit since your post.

glimmer - sorry to hear that. How are you feeling?

bluesatinsash thanks for the kind thoughts. It's tough about the early scan isn't it? have you had nothing at all yet? It was a decision I was trying to make before the bleeding took away the need to make it.

dan - thanks for the sticky thoughts.

loubylou - Hi nice to meet you. Glad to hear your scan went well.

As for me, I started to bleed again quite a bit this eve, with strong back pains and mild cramping. It's funny, but I'm not as panicked and sad about the bleeding now as I was. I think in my heart of hearts I know it's a miscarriage, and the best ending to all this now would be for it to pass natuarally. I was so traumatised by medical management that went wrong last time. If it just happened now I could almost just view it as a late period and try and deal with it better than if it all turns into another big medical process. I hope that doesn't sound heartless, I just dread having medical management over the Christmas hols, or taking it all into the new year with me.

Anyway - have a lovely evening all,
x

Oh Sausagemcgraph - I am so sorry, but know exactly what you say - for me the mismanaged intervention was a lot worse then coming to terms with the grieving. I don't know what to wish you besides a lot of strength either way.

I am not too disappointed, although admittedly mildly obsessed - I just assume it will be a normal of late AF. At least I know I bded at the right time...

It helps me a lot to have had a DS after the mmc, so I know it can work out. ..

LoobyLou36 · 17/12/2008 07:31

sausage I am sorry

aquababe · 17/12/2008 09:23

sausage I'm sorry, hope you can avoid the medical management this time.

Glimmer sorry too hope to see you back here soon

lizzie hope you get good news

my scan showed a perfectly healthy little boy.
Think i'm in shock as I was so preparing myself for the worst. Am now trying to accept that this little one might actually happen. still 20 more weeks to go first mind.
dh is over the moon as we have a little girl already and he wanted one of each.

LoobyLou36 · 17/12/2008 10:26

aquababe glad your scan went well. When are you due? I'm due 3rd May.

ladyhelen2 · 17/12/2008 12:24

Hi Looby. Nice to see you again. We're due the same day!
We're not finding out the flavour either. If we can tell, fair enough but I don't want to know know, IYKWIM.

Here's a question for you all. Is this a normal symptom or am I a freak?? On monday morning, as I was drinking a cuppa, I felt a warm sensation running down the inside of my left knee. I thought I'd spilt my drink, thats what it felt like. Its been happening intermittently since then. Its bizarre. There is no fluid, it must be something circulatory. I may mention it to the doctor tomorrow at my scan, but has anyone else had this???

LoobyLou36 · 17/12/2008 12:28

ladthelen that's really odd. Altho PG brings all sorts of weird symptoms.

youknownothingofthecrunch · 17/12/2008 12:42

Hello all. Not checked in for a while. Looby and Ladyhelen, you're due only a week after me - and if ds2 is anything to go by that probably means you'll have yours before me.

Sausage, I'm so sorry. Look after yourself.

Glad to hear there have been some positive scans on here.

My SPD is now here with a vengance. Pretty much housebound at the moment - mostly due to the fear of getting myself stuck somewhere on my own unable to move. I'm hoping to get out lots over the Christmas holidays - even if it means wearing the very unladylike support that I've got myself and taking a walking stick.

I just wish I could get one full night's sleep without waking up in agony.

I see an osteopath for my back (very loose joints mean everything pops in and out at will when I'm not pregnant!) but I'm incredibly cautious about seeing her while pregnant in case it's made worse. But if it gets any worse I'm going to have to do something more than my physio's exercies.

ladyhelen2 · 17/12/2008 12:50

crunch you poor thing with your SPD. I think , along with my wierd warm sensation thing, I have sciatica so I can sympathise with you. Some mornings the pain is so bad, I too can barely walk when I get out of bed. It comes and goes during the day. I'm hoping that it will disappear shortly as it did with DS's pregnancy. This pregnancy lark ain't easy, is it?? What with all these physical symptoms, we're also dealing with the worry all the time too.

Meant to say to sausage, so sorry to hear your latest. How are you today?

youknownothingofthecrunch · 17/12/2008 12:56

If you have sciatica ladyhelen that can send odd nerve sensations down your legs and might be giving you the warm feeling. Very odd. You poor thing, I hope you're right and it improves soon.

Something's definitely not right at the base of my spine, you can stick needles in the skin and I can't feel it. I'm putting it down to the whole area being a right off My osteo has said before that I have impacted vertebrae there, and possible an old break which surprised me to say the least, imagine breaking your spine and not noticing! But it is possible with all the horse riding and bumps and bruises when I was younger.

I am officially a physical wreck and I'm not even 30 yet. Although funnily enough I would prefer more pain and less worry - it's make this whole pregnancy thing much easier.

Wheelybug · 17/12/2008 13:12

Sausage - so sorry things weren't more positive and that you are bleeding again. Understand though where you coming from with the not wanting it 'dragging on'. Take care of yourself.

Cece - Hope MW appointment goes well and that she gives you some reassurance, however short lived.

Lizzie - hope your scan went ok.

Glimmer - sorry your stay here was so short. Hope to see you back soon.

Congrats on the good scans gals.

I have my 28 week scan on friday. Starting to get apprehensive. Although if size looks ok and so I can hope for attempting a natural delivery then I am booking onto an active birth class for January. Beginning to feel like things are getting close. Yikes (yet, phew....).

lastboxoftampons · 17/12/2008 13:12

Sausage I'm so sorry Hoping it's all quick and painless. I know what you mean about just wanting it to be over.

Looby and aquababe Congrats on your scans!

aquababe · 17/12/2008 13:23

Glimmer and sausage - I'm so sorry. I'm still keeping everything crossed, this isn't the end of the line for you, sausage, stranger things have happened.

Will be back for a longer post when I've caought up with the thread.

lastboxoftampons · 17/12/2008 14:03

Downbutnotout - I'm contemplating adding myself to the list (but wary of doing so before 12 week scan), but if I choose to, where the heck am I supposed to put myself!?!? Am I a Gusset Patrol Graduate (probably not) or a Current Conceived Air-Passenger (seems more likely...maybe?) Am afraid I don't understand!

herbaceous · 17/12/2008 15:05

Hello ladies

Had my 12-week scan today (in the same room as I found out MC-before-last had died). DP and I saw him/her moving about, scratching his head, lying with his arms behind his head, jumping about, all sorts. It was great. DP got all teary-eyed.

The nuchal fold measurement was higher than I'd want it to be, at 2.6, but not outside normal range, and he had a nasal bone, which is apparently a v good sign, as most DS babies don't.

So, a tentative hurrah!

dan39 · 17/12/2008 16:35

Oh herby thats brilliant!! The room memories are so horrid aren't they though. You have SUCH a good statistcal chance now - finegrs crossed!

younknownothing I can't begin to tell you how much osteopathy helped my spd...give it a try, honest - I can now walk, before I couldn't!

lastbox the graduates are the people who have had their babies so slot yourself in with the current passesgers. In fact I am thinking of making an execuitve decision and removing the top lot but don't want to upset anyone. Also on that note, dbno you are next if we don't count the ple on there who don't hang out here!! (...and I am after you!!...) Mind you supersteph pops in every now and then.

louby and acqua good to see you and good news on positive scans!

lastboxoftampons · 17/12/2008 16:47

Dan That is so obvious now that you pointed it out!

but, alas, I'm just not ready. Think I will wait until after my 12 week scan.

Herby I've posted on another thread, but you can't have too many congratulations! Really, very pleased for you!

Wheelybug · 17/12/2008 17:16

Oh Herby fantastic news ! I really think 2.6 is ok. Did you get a 1:x risk or are you having the combined test ? Do you have to wait until 20 weeks now for next scan or will they scan you in between ??

scotlass · 17/12/2008 17:35

Hi everyone, it's so nice to see so many ladies are getting further on and it's inspiring to see there is hope after mc.

sausage I'm so sorry if it is another mc. I know exactly what you mean about being relieved if it happens naturally, my 2nd was medical management and I found it really hard. I was going to reassure you that you could easily be a week behind your LMP date (I am - 6 days behind on early scans) but I know it can be irritating when you have in your head and heart it is a mc. I still hope your scan next week brings good news. Don't give up hope, I honestly thought there was no way we'd ever have another baby but fingers crossed there's a 4th time lucky.

herby a big fat hurrah for you!! That's lovely news, it feels like an outer body experience seeing a jumping bean on the screen when you've had bad news previously.

dbno and dan you two are soooooo close!!

looby and aqua great news about your scans. Aqua we need some boys on here to balance things out - I wish my consultant had been more certain that mine is a boy, secretly I too would be overjoyed at having one of each (so would DH I'm sure when there's 1 less set of hormones flying around)

ladyhelen not sure about your funny sensation - could be related to circulation I reckon.

Well I saw the community MW this morning for the first time and got my mat B1 form (22+1wks today, hurrah) - it's strange, it makes it feel really official that I am having a baby . Heard a lovely strong HB and baby has been bouncing around like a maddy last couple of days. Can't wait to have next week off though - have been feeling rough the last couple of weeks. I need some long lies and breakfast in bed!

lizzie9442 · 17/12/2008 17:56

my scan didnt go well unfortunately and baby dies at about 8 and a half weeks so have to have erpc on friday. good luck with all your pregnancies !!
