Pregnancy After Miscarriage Part VII - Gusset Reporters and Knicker Checkers welcome

[SparkyMalarky]

oooh, I do love a new thread

Thanks wheely.

So sorry to hear your sad news VillageMum and Deany. Look after yourselves.

Deany and Villagemum I am so sorry to hear about your sad news. Thinking of you both xx

dbno are you now officially overdue? How exciting! Pineapple curry and sex!!

We had a funny wee scare (in a good way)on Thu/fri as I had a few contractions - came to nothing but made us aware that at some point in the very near future it will happen and we will have to drop everything else...was quite exciting!

Went away for sat night on impulse, just to a local pub in the country, had a lovely evening tho people kept asking me when I was due! Been invited to a 40th birthday in Marcha and we replied to say we would come but then we had a chat about where to stay and what babe will sleep in! Weird...

Still scared tho as can't REALLY believe that it will happen..poor thing never gets a rst as if I don't feel movement then I poke at it til I do!

Er...I still haven't contacted my tutor re not having done my dissertation...I am a bad bad woman.

this thread dosnt make good reading this morning, usualy i look forward to coming on on a monday mornin to read all the weekends post. villagemum im absolutely gutted for you, prayers are with you and hope to see you back soon, such sad news. Deaney 4 mc you must be beside yourself with annoyance, keep trying and hopefully see you back soon. take care both of you.

Just wanted to let you all know my 9 week and 4 day scan went well, I didnt want to say earlier as doesnt seem right that others are suffering.. xx

glad to hear of some good news today ashleigh.
hope everyone else is ok.
Am not at work today as DD was up 3 times last night and woke up this morning with a temperature so no school for her. She seems absolutely fine - lively as usual just roasting hot. I'm sitting next to her and its like hugging a radiator. I'm quite delighted to have the day off but will need to make up my work tomorrow as no-one does it when I'm not there!

ashleigh - easy for me to say in my position, but my experience of this thread so far is that we always have the good news alongside the bad and you shouldn't need to feel awkward about sharing either. This should be a safe place for both: all of us know what it is like to experience loss and hopefully all of us will one day get to trust the pleasure of having some hope again. I once thought my situation was hopeless and now I know it's not. It doesn't mean that I empathise any less keenly with those who are suffering right now.

Hugs to all wherever you are on your journey right now.

I agree with above - it has always really helped me to hear the good news. We all feel for those with fears and bad news, of course, but its also so reassuring to see the good things happen, too.

Pleased for you ash!

Thanks guys, we're over the moon.. going for another scan in a couple of weeks and I hope it will be the last in the first trimester! Hope everyone is having a nice day.. xx

deany and villagemum very sorry for your losses. My thoughts are with you both.

ash this thread is an odd juxtapostion of hope and loss, but the best thing about it is the constant support it gives. Congratulations on your scan.

dbno hope you're surviving the inlaws - it won't be long now - my DH drove me over a lot of speed bumps when I was overdue, it might have had an effect as ds2 was born the next day.

Thanks for congratulations... I am so nervous at the moment as have finally decided to go to the doctors to let them know i am pregnant... Why does this seem like a massive hurdle?!?!

deany and villagemum - so so sorry

ashleigh - great to hear your good news. I waited till I was 10 weeks before I went to the doctor, I think I was nervous that making it official would jinx it, but if you've had a good scan, I'm sure you'll be fine. Congratulations!

Congratulations on your scan ash, it is such a relief. I had a scan on thurs and it showed baby was 9 weeks, which matches up to my dates perfectly, and after my 2 mcs where the dates were way out, it was a relief. I just can't seem to relax properly until 12 weeks though. Roll on the next 2.5 weeks

Hi Rachel - i'll be 10 weeks tomorrow, but my GP isnt in on Tuesdays so i decided to bite the bullet, she was very supportive and reassured me a lot.. pleased i went! Just have to wait for the midwife to call me now.. I think that will make things a lot more 'real'.

VJay Congratulations on your scan also! You must be 2/3 days ahead of me! My EDD is 25th August.. Seems like so far off however i know i only have 2.5 weeks too until the '12 weeks' so feeling a bit more positive than i was at 7 weeks... however hope these next few weeks fly by! x

I'm not 10 weeks until Thursday so am 2 days behind you

oh haha, of course, i am counting in the wrong direction!! You wouldnt believe i work in finance so should be good with numbers! My mind is all over the place! x

It's the hormones ash don't worry about it. I went to work today leaving the bathroom window wide open and I live in a bungalow, so anyone could have come in! Don't think I'll tell dh though.

deaney and vm, so sorry to hear your news, its awful each time I know. Hoping for a good outcome for you both if you decide to try again. Thinking of you.

Still just managing to hold things together here.Should be divorced in about 10 days time! Ex DH has not been to any scans or appointments with me but has told me he will take 2 weeks holiday when baby is born to help with the kids(2 other DS'S 2 and 4).
Have appointement with consultant thursday about whether will need CS after bad 3rd degree tear last time.Am hoping won't need one as will need to be mobile after birth as single parent now) My confidence in this pregnancy has been shattered now after 2 bouts of terrible cramps lasting 24hours and midwife won't check heartbeat as too early!but am 16+3 now and she found it at 14 weeks. Nearly booked a scan at babybond but can't find the cash,hoping consultant will help on Thurs.

P.S Spare a thought for the woman in America, i just heard on news, gave bith to Octuplets 6 boys & 2 girls 9 weeks early!!!!!!wow

mumface gosh you are juggling a lot right now! Am a bit on your behalf that your mw refused to find the hb for you but if you have an appt Thu hopefully they will check for you then. If she found at 14 surely she can find at 16+??

Good luck (if that's the right thing to say) with the dh thing - sending you a hug!

wmmc where are you then - you have missed your Monday slot?! Hope all is ok and you are no doubt just being a swot...

My random dates have now been agreed on as 4th Feb which is the earliest poss one - I am a WEE bit disappopinted as I won't then have as long to go to avoid the induction discussions - 9th would have given me another week. I will still resist induction tho as long as me and babe are okay - but it might put paid to the hb plan. Looked round the hospital this week and it was okay - its not my living room, but it was okay!

mumface hope you manage to get scans sorted. What a lot you're going through at the moment. Hope it all works out for the best.

dan39 I'm surprised they've left it this late to agree on a date for you! Mine varied a bit and they have agreed on 25th of April, but if I do go overdue (as ds2 was 9 days over) then I will be insisting that they don't talk about induction until it's 2 weeks after my latest possible due date. I don't know what I'll do if they start insisting I go into hospital. Had ds1 in hospital and just couldn't relax properly (although it was very basic in its facilities which didn't help), had ds2 at home which was much better - being able to fall into my own bed after a bath in my own bath, bliss

vjay congratulations that's great news.

Hi all - je suis a newbie who doesn't even really belong here yet. I had a 'natural' (it didn't feel natural it felt gross) mmc in December at 11 weeks (measured 6) and really bad treatment at the EPAU. 'Oh yeah looks like a miscarriage, come back next week to make sure it's all gone, ok then Byeee!!'

Anyway. I just wanted to say on behalf perhaps of other lurkers, that this is the loveliest thread. I will certainly join once I'm pregnant again. First I have to get over the fear that if i get preg again it's just going to fall out again...

I do find this thread incredibly heartwarming. It's a place where it's ok to have good news and bad news because everyone is rooting for one another.

That's it. Thanks and good luck to all xx

Hello sifuentes

Welcome to mumsnet. This really is a lovely and supportive thread. Sorry to hear you were so badly treated at your EPAU - some people are just so stupid. Hope to see you here sometime soon. If you do ever need support, then there are also bereavement and miscarriage threads (they helped me through some tough times). Be kind to yourself and let yourself grieve and react however you need to.
