Cautiously pregnant after 2 miscarriages

[Gem09]

Hi Ladies

I feel soooo scared, im 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant.

Had 2 miscarriages in 18 months, both losses where about 9 weeks.

Im scared to go for an early scan incase they tell me bad news, im worried that my boobs only sometimes hurt, the only real symptoms i have are feeling really tired and feeling sick.

Any positive stories out there id love to hear.

Just wanted to say congratulations on your bfp - i hope it all goes well for you this time. PAL is such an anxious time but you WILL get through it. i was scared of my early scan because i was terrified they were gonna tell me something horrible but it turned out just fine. Also at 5 weeks i think i only had sore boobs thats it x

 

[Gem09]

Thankyou!

I really hope this one sticks this time.

Going to ring EPAC this week to get an early scan.

Just hope the next few weeks go quick and that i get over that 12 weeks.


Im from North East England too, where abouts are you?

yeah give them a ring that what i did. They made me a routine appt for 12 weeks and when i recieved it i rang them and said can i come in sooner because ive got a lot of questions and im stressing out and they saw me the next day in the clinic. I had my first appointment at 8+4 i think and had a scan that day (didnt know i was having a scan and nearly had a heart attack when they asked me to go for one!!).

im in middlesbrough btw. my hospital is james cook hospital. xx

 

[Gem09]

Thats like me i have soooo many questions haha! I will feel more relaxed i think if i get an early scan and have a chat with EPAC!

I was born in Middlesbrough, live in stockton now!

Is your hospital north tees then? I think you have to be booked in by your midwife first (i had to). So if you see your midwife at 8 weeks then ring the hospital straight away they might see you earlier. fingers crossed for you xxx

 

[Gem09]

Thanks!

Yeah North Tees!
Last time EPAC just told me to ring them when i got to 6 weeks and they would book me in!

I will ring midwife aswell.

How have you been with your pregnancy?

[nicksi27]

aw thats good then at least they are being helpful and you will get your early scan. I think the early scan helped because at first i couldnt believe that there was actually a baby in there lol, i felt like i was kidding myself!!

I must admit this pregnancy has been hard but its understandable really - getting past the next few scans would mean i could relax. Ive got three scans in the next 7 weeks - so im looking at each one like a milestone to reach. Im sure when you get past 9 weeks you will feel better too because you will be past your scary stage. xxx

 

[Gem09]

Yeah it is understandable hun, got to keep thinking positive and your right, each scan will be a milestone.

Ive been feeling really sicky lately, keep needing to drink Orange Juice, lol. Just cant wait till i get booked in for early scan.

When i went for my 9 week scan last time, i was overjoyed, seen the hearbeat, then 2 weeks later no heartbeat, devestated, same with the 1st pregnancy but i found out then at my 12 week scan, its like it cant get past the fetus stage.

Fingers crossed this will be my 3rd time lucky.

Good Luck to ya hun, im sure everything will be fine xxx

Hi,
Just spotted this thread and was wondering how you are getting on. I am five weeks after two mc and also petrified!
Have an early scan at 7 and half weeks but just feel that's too early as both my miscarriages were later than that.
Fingers crossed for us all!

Hiya

Im 6 weeks 2 days now and have an early scan this thursday.

My miscarriages seemed to happen after 9 weeks, so im going to ask for another scan round a bout then.

Do you have any symptoms?

Im feeling sick ever other day, stuffy nose and really sensitive nipples.

Fingers crossed this is 3rd time lucky for us both xxx

 

[twinkletots]

Hi Gem, good to hear all going well for you so far.

I have had almost no symptoms apart from bloating and eating like a horse! Howver today my boobs feel bigger and more sensitive and have mild quease. Hoping the quease will curb my eating or I am going to end up like the side of a house!

Already feel like have been pregnant for months. Think I will ask for another scan too, are they usually quite good about doing that?

 

[Gem09]

Haha yeah some days I could eat a horse other days I'm like eurrghh no food at all!

Yeah they can be quite good at letting you have another scan! I'm going to make sure they let me have a scan at 9-10 weeks!

Really trying to keep positive this time!

Have you booked in with a midwife yet?

Yeah saw midwife last Monday, she was 45 minutes late for my appt and rushed off her feet so didn't get chance to ask all I wanted or request my preferred scan date.
Think I will force the issue for another one too, otherwise will just be thinking about it all the time.

I am trying to keep positive too, sometimes I feel great and sometimes I feel a bit nervy. Are you feeling good on the whole? Did you get any investigations after your m/c's?

Cant believe she was 45 mins late, id be annoyed im very impatient lol!
Think i will book in with midwife after this scan!

Ohhhh im nevry all the time. Think i will be till i get over 12 weeks!
No they wouldnt investigate anything, they said would have to have 3 miscarriges before they would do anything which i think isnt right!
My miscarriage in may i was admitted to hosptial as lost lots of blood, was put on a drip for 6 hours! Couldnt bare to go though that again.

My hubby keeps saying 3rd times a charm, i hope hes right and this one sticks!

[twinkletots]

I agree, third time lucky!
I got a couple of investigations cos I am over 35 so they only wait until you have 2 m/c's but everything came back normal which is good.
Looks like we just had a bit of crappy luck but I feel positive for us.

Think you have a scan today? good luck! I will think of you and send out a ton of sticky

 

[Gem09]

Least everything came back normal hun!

Wasnt much to see on my scan, wasnt unusual they said as only 6 weeks 4 days so they have booked me in for another on the 18th, i'll be 8 weeks 1 day then so hopefully see abit more.

Yeah im feeling positive for us aswell - Tons of sticky.

Hope ypur scan goes well.

[twinkletots]

Great to hear your scan went well gem! Fingers crossed for the next one too. Did they offer you the other one or did you ask for it?
Less than two weeks until my scan but its too long to wait!
Have you told anyone ur pregnant yet? I haven't except one friend. I have such a major bloat on though I look about six months

 

[Gem09]

They offered me another scan. Im starting to worry abit now though incase they dont see anything on the next scan, hubby keeps reasurring me that he seen a little white bit on scan, which i did too but the sonographer was like its to small to measure.

Roll on next tuesday, hopefully the next few weeks will fly for us!

Havent told anyone yet, if all is well, we thought telling people Christmas day would be nice.

Awww i havent had much bloating, but feel sicky now and again.

[twinkletots]

Hey, how's it going?
Hope you're still good and getting ever closer to next scan, woo hoo!
I am having worries re: stickiness of this bean as cramping last night then no symptoms today.
Trying to stay positive but really scared.
