Hi there ladies!!

I am so happy to be able to come over to this thread but I am soooooo nervous now!! I had a mmc in march at 12 weeks and it was the worst day of my life! Today I have been crying tears of joy and hoping this is my rainbow baby. But as my body failed to recognise the mc and I got to the 12 week scan fine I am now worried it will all happen again!! My edd is 9th April, if I managed to get my O day correct. But according to my LMP and what the doctors say is actually 2nd April.

Anyone want to be bump buddies??

TIA and sticky dust to everyone!!

H&H 9 months and good luck!

No-one just a teeny bit pregnant like me?

hey! congrats on your pregnancy! i have had 2 consecutive losses, and am now 10 weeks with my first! i totally understand how you feel, but what helped me through this one and stay mostly positive was focusing on something my sister said - you can't change the outcome....so for as long as you know things are going well, enjoy it! its true - you cant prevent a MC..... its hard to be so positive when all you know are losses, but the end result is so worth it!

i also have kept really busy - its been wedding season, so our weekends have been packed with events.

the chances of this pregnancy going well far outweight it not...so focus on that. its hard at times, and sometimes i got really down, wondering how i would cope it things went sideways, but you have to just pick yourself up and move forward...your pregnant again, that is totally exciting!

wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months....you can msg. me anytime! we are looking forward to telling some more people starting next weekend....super excited to share this news with more people! we had a scan on friday and I fell in love! i want others to know how happy we are!

Bailey - I'm also due in April and also had a MMC at 12 weeks, the baby measured 11+5... so I'm quite nervous about this pregnancy too now.

Did you want to start a April PAL thread? I've been thinking about it, but too scared haha

Thanks thinkpositive, I think we spoke a while ago on another thread! And now look at us!

So happy for you and being 10 weeks now, so exciting! And I agree completely with what you are saying and its true! I don't want to hate this pregnancy all the way through because of worry, I enjoyed the time I spent with my little bean and want to enjoy it with this one too!!

Thanks So much for your words! And have fun telling people!

Ginny - wow, almost the same story as me! Sorry for your loss, I can't wait to get past 11 weeks now but as thinkpositive says, we just have to enjoy it and we will cope if the worst happens! I am so excited to be pregnant again though!

Yeah I might change the name if this to April Rainbow babies but might leave it a couple more days, or might just do it now, may as well!!

What's your edd ginny?

Hey ginny, we're you born in 1983 too? Our stories are soooo similar if you were as I was born May 1983.

Haha pretty freaky - I was born in September 83!

I'm due 3rd April... It's actually kinda comforting to share this experience with someone who also had a latish 1st tri loss. Obviously I wish they had stuck the first time round though!!

Yeah me too, it was really hard to get my head round how I was almost on the 2nd trimester. If it had been a week or two later they probably would have run tests or something to see why, but I just got told miacarriage is a normal part of pregnancy.

I'm just watching One Born Every Minute, I can bring myself to watch it again now I'm pregnancy again!!
Just been to the doctors and been referred to the midwife on Thursday. They didn't even get me to give a urine sample this morning, just did my blood pressure! But I did a frer again this morning and it's darker yay!!

I'm so paranoid that im going to start bleeding! I don't know why I've get it in my head about chemical pregnancy seen as my mmc was 12 weeks! I think it's just coz I tested before AF was due.

Do you keep trying to "feel" pregnant? Like thinking "ooh do my boobs hurt?" or "donut feel queasy?" lol xx

I was also strangely worried about a chemical pregnancy too - but like you I think it's just because I tested early. I'm 4+5 now, so feel slightly more safe about it.

I don't have any MS yet - but I have to keep reminding myself that it didn't start until almost exactly 6 weeks with both of my last pregnancies, so I have another week to go haha. The scarey thing is though I had all my symptoms even after I found out I had lost the baby

I was lucky and did have some testing done - some of my blood tests only recently which I'm waiting on the results and the baby had chromosomal testing which came back all normal.

I'm really scared about getting attached again - but at the same time I'm trying to stay positive! I think I'll have my dating scan at the end of next week/early following week.

Well according to my LMP I am 4 weeks + 6 but if I got my ovulation day right I'm only 3 weeks + 6 coz I was expecting AF tomorrow. I have told the doc that but they have still gone off my LMP anyway.
