5 vials schmoo!!!!....do we all have to have that????

Poshie, i feel rough too...like a hangover as i mentioned! still not been sick since the last week spew!! xx

 

[faylou]

Thanks BL.
I think my GP is really caring but doesn't want me to get my hopes up. We saw him after 2nd MC and he said when I get my 3rd just relax and don't rush to see him, so I haven't. I suppose its a waiting game now. How did you manage to pass the days?! I am so busy at work but my mind wanders all the time. Maybe I should try relaxation

Hiya Faylou

welcome to the 3rd time lucky club some of us have had early scans but it just depends on your care provider really

im high risk & under consultant care but he told me to go & see him at 8wks the same as your GP said (think thats coz most mc's would have happened by this point so if you get to 8wks there is a better chance of a positive outcome)

best of luck sweetheart xx

 

[Poshie]

Welcome faylou

Your previous mc happened at very similar times to mine and BL's. I'm about 7+3 today and feeling pretty bad.

I went to see doc two weeks ago, who referred me to midwife, who I saw a week ago. She has put in for an early scan and I am desparately waiting for the appt to come through! They say 7-8 weeks is best.

Best of luck to you with this pregnancy. May you be 3rd time lucky

Once I got my 3rd BFP I just kind of blanked it out for a few weeks. Tried not to think about it. I obviously ate well, took vits etc but didnt get attached or hung up on it. I told no one, not even DH...told him at 6 weeks.

I go for accupuncture and have been put on 5mg of folic acid per DAY!! by the specialist I saw for Recurrent Mc. He said sit back and relax, take each day at a time. I didnt even tell my GP yet!!!! I did speak to MW whom arranged the scan, but this time I have been hardened to the sadness i think and very "what will be will be"...now I have seen a HB i am more than attached though!!!

The one thing i have done differently is THINK POSITIVE!!!!

you will be fine, we are here to listen if you need to chat. x

I am sorry to hear some of you are still feeling crappy and sick. Let's hope it goes for you all sooner rather than later.

beachlover1: Congrats on the scan results!

faylou: I did not get an early scan, my GP said I should but when the midwife called the hospital would not allow it. I did similar to Beachlover, I took my folic acid and ate as right as I could with bad morning sickness and although I tried to stay positive I mostly tried not to think about it. I only came on this site and started thinking about baby related things after my 12 week scan! I know the waiting part is hard though.

Well, I started to leak milk a few days ago! A while back I had dots of thick white stuff but now it is liquid and comes out when any pressure is applied (including some more fitted tops). I am thinking about calling my GP to get referred to physio because of my SPD tomorrow since if I call then I may stand (a small) chance of getting an appointment before Christmas. Also, I am starting to get excited about my 20 week scan on the 23rd and buying the nursery things and some other bits in January!

 

[beachlover1]

Morning all! Another day girls, another day!!

Well, Bean greated me this morning with a lovely wave of nausea and I promptly threw up! nice.

Omi...leaking milk!!! my sis told me about this yesterday! what a joy to look forward too eh!! Whats SPD? i have seen you mention it a few times but never hard of it!

Hope you all feel good today...another day closer to Chrimbo, and for me a day closer to the sunny shores of Barbados, a week tomorrow!!

seeing the MW today so kinda looking forward to that.

Have a good day xxx

 

[OmiOmen]

Good luck at the midwife Beachlover! Are you packed and ready for your holiday or do you leave it last minute?

SPD stands for Symphysis pubis dysfunction and basically makes your pelvis hurt an awful lot and makes you less mobile. It generally gets worse the bigger the baby grows and most people end up with a support belt round their hips and crutches and some end up in a wheelchair. It does go between after giving birth up to 6 months after and generally starts at the beginning of the second trimester (don't worry not too many people get it, although it is not as rare as you may thing). I am just glad that I am working part-time this year or I would not manage at all but I have decided to go on maternity leave as soon as I can so 11 weeks before the due date.

 

[beachlover1]

Oh gosh Omi!! as if pregnancy isnt enough to contend with...that sounds painful.

MW appt went fine, she booking my dating scan for 11/12 weeks and they will post out to me. Ill see her again at 15 weeks. Im going to have the NT scan and blods done privately as she said NHS dont do it all. not sure what she meant.

Thats about it really.....still pushing on with the PMA (its pretty hard)!!! xxx

 

[OmiOmen]

It is not nice, but resting really does help so I am just doing as little as I can.

I got an NT scan and bloods done at 12 weeks but not all hospitals do both, some just offer one. I hated waiting for the 12 week scan, it seemed to take forever to arrive but it was so fantastic to see small but formed baby!

 

[Poshie]

Hello girls sounds like your mw appt went well BL. Did she take lots of blood and ask lots of questions? I assume you have some green pregnancy notes started now?

Spd can be very nasty. Poor Nicky is on crutches because of it! Must be awful

Well I have an update. Dh said to chase scan appt so I rung my mw and left a msg. She rang me back to say she's spoken to scan dept who were just about to send me a letter. BUT she said I can ring tomorrow morning and book it over the phone, so I'm pretty happy with that. So I will have my scan date in the morning

I will get NT on the nhs (scan and bloods). Mw said I'll still get that at 12 weeks despite this early scan.

 

[samzi]

ooh nice one

 

[beachlover1]

Ace Poshie!!! you will know in the am!! hope its before xmas...sure it will be.

My NHS hosp doesnt do the NT and bloods, just the bloods! poo.....the upside is I will get my results on the same day...negative is its £170!!!!

I have a load of blood sheets to get done this week, my surgery is linked to a shite hospital where i wouldnt let my dog give birth (other than he is a boy), so I have to go to the local health centre for them. HIV, syphillis, sickle cell...the list goes on!! ;-)

OK, todays ailment.....TRAPPED WIND! its bad. if it wasnt something i always had before Id think i was trouble ;-). Its the one that means you cant hold yr tummy in!! grrrrr defo trapped wind, as it eases every so often....any remedies????

Good luck tomorrow Poshie, let us know how you go!!!
xxxxxx

 

[Mrs Doddy]

sending you all sticky bean vibes

Poshie - yay for the early scan I hope its soon for you

Beachlover - am jealous of your holiday !!! even though I have just come back from the Dominican Republic !!!!

OmiOmen - I hope that the SPD isn't too bad - make your H do everything ha ha !!

 

[Poshie]

Hello girls. Just rang the scan dept and have a date of next Wed 23 Dec at 2.10pm. I could have had the Monday, but I chose the Weds because it's DH's day off and he can go with me. So, it's not this week as I wanted, but at least it's not too long to wait. I'll be about 81/2 weeks by then. So, at least that's done God it had better be good news just before Xmas....

 

[lil_angel]

Hi Poshie....How are you? Great news about you scan Least you got it in before xmas....

 

[Poshie]

I have the odd bout of trapped wind too. Not sure on remedies though!
I have a new symptom and that's itchy skin. Mainly by bottom and legs, weird!

Yesterday started off okay, I actually felt ok til lunchtime. Then suddenly after lunch, I started to feel ill and tired. I'm having trouble drinking water (strange because I like water). It is somehow making me feel ill

 

[lil_angel]

Yeah i have trouble drinking water too! I always drink lots of water at work, but it just makes me feel really sick now. It so weird! xx

 

[Poshie]

Ah so I'm not the only one then lil angel It is so weird isn't it? I'm feeling okay at the moment. I tend to feel iller as the day goes on tbh. I have noticed that my boobs aren't hurting much since the sickness started. How's things with you?

 

[NickyT75]

Morning girls

Poshie thats great news about your scan!

Omi - my SPD started at 14wks and got progressively worse so I got the Serola belt & crutches last week which help but im finding it very hard to do anything with them & not looking forward to the prospect of needing them for the next 4 months

Im seeing the physio again tomorrow so hopefully i'll be able to get a little respite & not make things any worse xx
