BFP by Oct 2015 TTC & BFP Group. (was the BFP by Oct 13 thread but the bubs are here)

[twinmummy06]

Driving myself crazy comparing this pregnancy to my last one. It's right around the same time I became very sick, nauseous and vomiting with our triploidy baby. Now I'm starting to spend each morning vomiting up the bile from my empty stomach, exactly like last time. Yummy. I know its probably these shitty metformin tablets but it's not helping my paranoia at all

 

[xxDreamxx]

Twinmummy - I had a baby with triploidy and had no nausea, sickness or vomiting....so please try not to worry.

I had zero pregnancy symptoms besides cramping and tiredness. This pregnancy has been completely different.....so don't look at sickness & nausea having anything to do with the triploidy. {hugs}

 

[twinmummy06]

For me Susan I really don't get sickness, not even with my twins. My triploidy pregnancy was horrid and the complete opposite of any I've ever experienced - high blood pressure (again not normal for me) and the vomiting/nausea. Both are actually common in triploidy pregnancy because of the odd hormones.

I'm 99% sure its the metformin. But still worries me.

Edited to add:
found this which makes a little sense: In our series of pregnancies complicated by triploidy, the risk of developing preeclampsia or hypertension in the second trimester was 35%. It appears that elevated serum hCG levels and placentomegaly are associated with a higher risk of preeclampsia but low hCG levels are not.

Mine were high(ish) so probably explains the differences

 

[xxDreamxx]

My HCG and PappA were very very low....so maybe different triploidy that what you had. They said low HCG and PappA is caused by double chromosomes from the egg and the other way is by double chromosomes from the sperm.

 

[twinmummy06]

Who knows - mine was maternal (egg) too, but I had high hcg and low Papp-a. But I guess nothing is ever textbook perfect.

Morning ladies!

Twin I am sure it is such a worry, as you say it prob is the metformin. I think every pregnancy can be different.

I still have this stitch it won't go away. I won't see my Dr to next Monday! I think il have a panic attack before then. I just can't stop worrying and I know it's not good.

I know you girls will understand.... When did you start to believe it was going to be ok this time? Or are you still a bit like me?

 

[twinmummy06]

I still don't believe it cmc. Too scared to get excited and have it all ripped from under me. Will be a while I think before I can let my guard down.

With my daughter after my first loss I think I finally started feeling good at 12 weeks after the scan. Then a few days later I began bleeding and freaked out again lol. I stopped bleeding at 14+4 and I think by the 20 week scan I was back into 'I'm bringing this baby home' mode.

Me I'm still taking it one day at a time and think I will be for some time yet . It really helps me not thinking about tommrow or into the future and concentrating on today , the only thing that has really stopped me going bonkers !!! Next Monday 12th have a scan and I'm still petrified !!!!!

 

[xxDreamxx]

I am still petrified too. Had a scan from my Ob today as had some pinkish discharge on Friday night when I wiped. I saw heart beat again today and Ob saw pinky stuff on internal probe so it's most likely my cervix is irritated.

I probably won't relax completely until I have a healthy bub in my arms. Definitely the 12 week screening is a big thing, then getting past the timeframe I got to last time, 16 weeks, then getting past 24 weeks etc

 

[Left wonderin]

I might and only might relax a little after 24 weeks ........... But I'm with ya not until the pink squirming screaming bundle is safely in my arms

 

[c.m.c]

Dream sooooo glad all is well with your baby. I'm sure you were scared fri night when u saw that!

I guess we are all terrified.....

Lw....I bet you cannot wait to next Monday.

Il be back at work next mon so FX I can get in touch with my Dr fir some reassurance HCG checks...FX...

 

[xxDreamxx]

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry had to let that out! I am 8+1 today & it's taking ages to get to 12 weeks!

The beige discharge scares me - I hate peeing

someone lost their little one in my march due date group on fb. I was half waiting for someone to announce that, but really crushed for her It's all so scary

 

[xxDreamxx]

Helena - I am not able at the moment to read the loss posts....It's just making everything super raw now that my hormones are all over the place. I need to find a group to join on facebook. I live on there

 

[Helena_]

the group I'm in is lovely, if you'd like to join

 

[c.m.c]

O god girls I know the feeling. I joined January jellybeans and it killed me having to be the one to go!!

I agree dream it's so hard to read....Helena....if statistics are right then like you said you knew someone had to announce it.

It's just too scary!!

Dream try not to worry. Was your dr concerned about it?

 

[Helena_]

8 weeks!!!!

 

[Left wonderin]

Wow the weeks do seem to be flying by for you girls

 

[hilslo]

Being pregnant isn't like it's shown in the movies is it? I feel like I'm in limbo just waiting for bad news. I'm too nervous to get a ticker or change my status to "expecting" as I'm scared it will jinx it! So far so good though so trying to push the scary thoughts out of my head.

Susan - sooo glad your spotting didn't turn out to be anything worrying. It must be an enormous relief!

I have another scan next Thrusday (the day before I go on holiday so fingers crossed I don't have to cancel another holiday this year due to losing a baby!). I'm starting to worry that I have no symptoms whatsoever. No increased appetite, no sore boobs, no ms, no anything. I know some women don't get any symptoms but from reading through old posts it seems like a lot of women that have no symptoms end up losing it somewhere along the way

Sorry - just having a panicky moment so need to get it off my chest! When did you ladies start to get symptoms?

 

[hilslo]

Almost forgot - Helena hurray for 8 weeks. Starting to sound good!
