lovin the scan pics girls! annie, so scary please keep us updated on your friend, i sure hope everything is ok with her bean!!

I was on my death bed yesterday, with either a stomach bug or the flu, idk but i couldnt even function it was awful!! So glad to be in the land of the living today!! Being pregnant AND sick really sucks!

My doc said a low measurement lowers the risk, making a favorable analysis more likely.

Oh thanks, I'll take a look at my notes this evening (no, I don't carry them everywhere I go… naughty me..!)

Ahhh. Cant pee today finally went at 2.30pm. I have tilted uterus which can cause this to happen. Eventually it is suppose to right it self but I cant put up with this until then. I have heard of people ending up with a cafeter. Hope I dont end up there.....eww

I was told at my scan I have a retroverted uterus, is that the same thing? They told me it won't cause me any issues in pregnancy or general life though. Turns out my Mum has one too.

 

[Kylarsmom]

They said my uterus was "slightly" tilted, but didnt seem concerned at all.. so idk! i never even knew it with my son. My friend however had one and said that the risk of miscarriage was high b/c it may not flip on its own.. ?? idk! Maybe it just depends on the degree of tiltedness?

If I'm completely honest, I'd rather not have read that!!!!!!!

 

[Kylarsmom]

sorry! not trying to upset just saying what she told me, im not a dr i have no idea!

 

[Kylarsmom]

and you said you have a retroverted, i dont think its the same thing, especially if u and ur mom have it and they don't seem concerned..

 

[sunshinegirl]

No I have read and have been told that it wont cause many problems. One of them is the peeing problem. Not everyone gets it as it can right itself but it has not righted itself it can cause problems peeing. I have been told to do the chest on the knees thing to help it correct itself.

With my previous mc's I did ask weather the uterus has caused them. They said no it can't cause a mc...thought I would throw that in to ease a few minds xxx

Mark&Annie, how was your friend's scan? Hope she finally got some good news!!

Congrats Sarahbella

Sunshinegirl, I have a tilted uterus too and had the same problem all the way through with my lil girl. Started this time too, but have found rocking back and forth helps a bit

I had my first physio apt today, which went well. She said it was good to see me walking this time lol as by time I got to her last time I needed a zimmer frame and 2wks later was in a wheelchair. She said hopfully we'll avoid it this time

Oh wow, tons of us "tilted uterus gals" I have one too, so does my Mom. Never bothered me much except during my period and when I ovulated - I always had very bad back cramping. But it made it easy to pinpoint ovulation!

 

[AuntBug]

Kylarsmom - did you get hit with more snow?

 

[sequeena]

I'm off for an emergency scan today, I started bleeding and getting pains yesterday. Nothing today and tons of morning sickness... please keep my baby in your thoughts x

 

[xsarahbellax]

Fingers crossed for you today Sequeena Xx

You said you have a retroverted, i dont think its the same thing, especially if u and ur mom have it and they don't seem concerned..

I checked… retroverted & tilted are the same thing!

With my previous mc's I did ask weather the uterus has caused them. They said no it can't cause a mc...thought I would throw that in to ease a few minds xxx

Phew!

Oh wow, tons of us "tilted uterus gals" I have one too, so does my Mom.

The sonographer told me it affects 15% of the population (though she might have meant UK population, not sure)… looks like we're all on this thread!!

My doc said a low measurement lowers the risk, making a favorable analysis more likely.

I checked my notes last night & my NT measurement was 1.20mm. Then, this morning the letter came telling me our baby is in the low risk group, 1 in 34,000 I think it said

 

[Mark&Annie]

Oh Squeena! Hope everything's OK, let us know ASAP!

Sadly my friends baby died, she is having a D&C this morning this is her 4th miscarriage now, so so cruel, they are such a wonderful couple, they deserve their forever baby :'(

 

[xsarahbellax]

Oh that's so sad, it must be heartbreaking

 

[BattyNora]

So sorry to hear about your friend - I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through. Thoughts are with them all x

 

[Tasha]

Hi girls, can I join? Not felt ready to, until now. I am Tasha and 25 years old. I have Morgan his 6, Naomi-Mae is 5, Honey was born sleeping due to medical negligence in May 2007, and her little sister Kaysie Blossom was born 361 days later. Since then I have had seven miscarriages. My pregnancies are really complicated, but wont go into that cos we will be here forever.

My due date is 2nd August, so just over 15 weeks now. I had my 8th scan yesterday, my cervix has shorten from 35mm to 28mm, within normal but need to rest. I have my next scan on the 2nd March (cervical) and then the 22nd (anomaly + section scar), 23rd March (cervical). I also have an appointment with the obstetric medicine team on the 25th Feb.

How are you all?

 

[sequeena]

I'm off for my emergency scan soon and to get my lady garden poked

 

[Tasha]

Good luck

 

[xsarahbellax]

Hi girls, can I join?

Wow, you've had quite a tough time Tasha You're more than welcome here

If you don't mind me asking, was Honey full term? & are you past the stage at which you had your previous miscarriages?

Really hope this pregnancy runs smoothly Xx

 

[Kylarsmom]

Yes we did get hit with snow again! But not near as bad as the last one last week! DH did get in a wreck this morning though and hurt his back, he's ok but at the hospital now getting it checked out! I feel awful and want to be there with him!! =(

So sorry Annie for your friends loss, that would be so horrible, I don't understand why some women have it so much harder than others, doesn't make sense =( Will be keeping them in my prayers though!

Welcome Tasha!
