Hi everyone,
I have been really slack with posting lately as it has been crazy busy at Chez Peanut. I have been so desperately tired that my usual MN times when Ds is napping have been given over to sleep. I haven?t been able to keep my eyes open. We have also had an offer accepted on a house and sold ours so fingers crossed no more house hunting.
And.......I had another scan yesterday at 10+2 and all is well with the little peanut. Measuring 4cm and had a heartbeat of 168bpm. It looked so peaceful, just snoozing in its womb. I managed to wake it up by laughing and it gave a few little wiggles, rubbed its forehead and settled back down to sleep! So cute.
mynameis I?m so sorry that your scan was inconclusive. Try to hold on to the fact that 50/50 isn?t actually a bad set of odds. There are lots of stories on MN where this was the scenario early on and all proved to be well. x
Welcome Ilovebeingamummy and congrats! You have had a horrid time of it and I really hope that this little bean turns out to be a keeper. It seems that so far the omens are good although I think all of us on this thread can sympathise with the intense feelings of worry, distress and general paranoia. I am now 10+3 and still knicker check every time I go to the loo.
BTW, as the recipient of a botched induction which led to an emergency c section after 18 pretty agonizing hours I whole heartedly agree with your views on induction. One thing is for sure ? nobody is coming near me with a synto drip ever again.
West London Oh you poor thing you sound like you are having a nightmare. The misery of ms truly knows no bounds. I?m afraid that if it doesn?t ease then you will have to take some time off work. I know the timing sucks but there isn?t much alternative unless you can be prescribed an anti emetic that you can keep down. Try not to worry too much about dates and what have you ? there seem to be lots of explanations for dates coming in later than thought and it would be unusual to be this sick if nothing was cooking in there! There is a margin of error in scans of around a week which in t he early days can make a hell of a difference.
Thandeka that is great news about your scan and that you are starting to relax. Seeing little emby?s is just the best feeling isn?t it? Actually, isn?t it now a foetus? I also second that these draggy feelings are all quite normal. I am sure when I was pg with ds that I would know when he had a growth spurt as the same thing would occur and I would get really painful stitches when walking to work. Then it would go away for a couple of weeks, reappear etc. All good and a sign of a growing bambino!
Caitni Welcome and good luck with the scan!
Hi to everyone else I have missed x
