RE: 16 week scan

The weird part of being pg this time is im afraid to tell ppl because somehow I keep imagining its going to end soon and it will be bad luck. Only told my partner at 12 weeks and his family yesterday, I keep thinking I will tell ppl next week. I havent even told my sisters or friends yet, I just avoid people. Think thats why I come on here cos its easier to talk to strangers. xx

Conceived again after 1 cycle and went on to have a blighted ovum. Took a 3 month break and conceived on first try with this little on and I had a booking scan at 10wk1d and due another scan at 16wk1d. I bought a doppler and been checking but still a bit anxious. The loss in may was an unplanned pg and I was giving it much thought so you can imagine the guilt I felt when I had to deliver my sleeping baby boy. I just want to deliver this little one safely.

Sounds absolutely brutal.

Can't imagine holding out from the partner that long, but otherwise I know what you mean. I haven't called my mother in weeks, because I might want to tell her if I talk to her, though I really don't want to tell her. So I don't call her.

I even avoid some of these threads like "Nov Due Dates" because I feel like I might jinx it.

Hi ladies, i am just 5 weeks and petrified as I had a mmc in Dec last year. I'm 41. I've been doing acupuncture for the past 2 months, taking Chinese herbs, coQ10, omega 3 fish oil capsules and Elevit (prenatal vitamin). I had my first beta last Tuesday at 16dpet (ivf) which was 150 and then 2 days later (316). Going in again tomorrow for a 3rd blood - 4 days after the second. Trying to be positive but have gone a little (lot) google crazy trying to work out whether my beta levels are acceptable and trying to find some reassurance.
Congrats to all you who have achieved pregnancy, and sympathy to anyone who has lost a little one. Let's keep going - it can be done!!!

Hi Ladies,

Glad someone on here to talk to. Im due my 16wk1d scan this friday and totally bricking it!!! I still get scared and keep thinking its too good to be true. I think in our cases too much info is not good cos we know what can go wrong and how quickly things can happen!! Once I get past this date if I do, then Im worried about my 20wk anomalily scan cos I know 2 ppl who had to terminate at this stage although I couldnt personally imagine having to make that decision. Fingers and toes crossed for us all xx

Hi All,

Quick update!! Went for scan on friday and all progressing well..may it continue! They have booked me in for an additional scan to check blood flow to the uterus, says its just a precaution but it has me worryin a bit. I was offered tests cos of my age but I declined cos I wouldnt do anything with the results. Had the private nuchal translucency with last and got all clear but baby died anyway so not going to bother. My sis and cousin both had babies in their 40s and both do heavy lifting with work and both had the babies so i will take my chances. xx

Glad things are going well Makeawish! I, too, elected not to do any testing. It wouldn't matter to me, if baby has Down's or anything else. The Lord will help me deal with it, if that is the case. So why worry myself or take the chance of hurting baby with the tests?!

Kiseki · Mar 24th, 2012, 19:29 PM

Have my 6 week scan tomorrow, and this is where I bombed out last time, so needless to say there are a few nerves! I really considered putting it off, but now I just want to know where we're at!

makeawishx · Mar 24th, 2012, 19:55 PM

Hi Dorian, Bet ur excited!!! So I expect in 2-3 weeks time when we dont see you on here that often we will know all went well with the birth and you are too busy feeding, winding, washing, dressing, feeding, winding...your little one and catching up on some well deserved sleep!
