Cautiously Pregnant After A Loss. PMA, But Not Taking It For Granted.

[pinksmarties]

Erinsmummy - I really hope this is just incidental bleeding that can sometimes happen, are you being seen anywhere? Hope you are okay.

 

[Lozdi]

Hoping very much its implantation, or a grumpy cervix

 

[debzie]

Erinsmummy as the other girls said I hope its just implantation or a clot bleeding out, I had a bleed on my 6 weeks scan but did not bleed out, Its caused by the egg implanting and then coming away from the uterus wall slightly. Keep us posted hun. We are still here no matter what. I did not leave from my last pregnancy to this one. x

I have to share this with everyone. I have just found babys heartbeat on my crappy angelsounds doppler I have had since I was pregnant with Emily, It was hitty miss but there. Words cannot describe how I am feeling.

Also have my dating scan/ NT scan appointment 26th July so not long either.

 

[pinksmarties]

Replied on your journal too Debzie but didn't know you had your next scan date so that's extra good news!!!

I had my community/GP mw appointment this morning. Had my first fundal measurement (23cm so about right) and she had a good feel, said he was trans, which I knew from my scan last week and general area of kicks. I did say I thought he wasn't moving as much the last few days as he had been so I got to hear him again on the doppler, although I had reassured myself on mine last night. She also said he was all legs and arms, how they can tell I'll never know it still feels like one big lump to me!

Still thinking of you Erinsmummy.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Erin's mummy, I hope this bleeding is nothing, like the others have said. Fingers crossed for you.
Debzie that's awesome news!! And not too long till your dating scan! I'm so happy for you.

 

[Lozdi]

Mrs Miggins I was lurking on PAL and saw your bump pic! Its such a lovely bump!

Pink I have no clue how the midwifes tell whats going on lol Lil Fella seems to be all legs and bum lately, with little flutterings really low down- I think he is head down...I hope he is!

Debzie thats amazing! Its so lovely to find it yourself!

Erinsmummy are you ok?

 

[Clobo]

Hee hee thats all I can feel too, bum sticking out under my ribs and chubby legs kicking about!!

Debzie, excellent news on the heartbeat and also good news your scan is only a week away!!!

Erinsmummy,

[too_scared]

debzi, that is wonderful news!!

i have been throwing around the idea of getting a doppler. i'm not sure if i will. i think it will ease my mind.

i can't wait until i can feel baby move. i think it is going to be really strange at first.

i think ms must have started at my house. only it really isn't just in just in the morning. no getting sick (yet ) but feeling pretty sick. blah. hard to get through the day sight seeing yesterday with my parents. we still haven't told them (not telling anyone until 2nd tri) so it has been a tough few days. they are gone now, going back to our home town for a few more days and then going back to Ontario on friday. nice that i can just laze around now and feel blah without having to hide it. hahaha!

i hope everything is ok with you erinsmummy.

i hope you are all well.

Part if my nurse training I spent some time with the community midwives I would be asked to do the bps and measure fundus but after 15 weeks still couldnot get a handle on which way babys were lying I could make out heads from bums but that's it lol. Its definatly an artform.

Pink glad all was well with your appt. He has plenty of time to move.

Loz and clobo I'm started to get excited for you both not long to go now.

Thanks mrsmig will have a peak at your bump.

Ts I was only sick twice but had dry heaving galore and feeling sick. Was worse on an evening for me. Still ocvaisionally get it when I'm hungry but I think I have got off easy. Unless it comes back. The doppler really has gave me hope again. I would recommend then for any pal lady. It can become obsessional though.

Speaking of which I couldn't find hb last night took a few attempts then only heard it for a few seconds. Had to stop myself obsessing. It's not good. My synptoms have began fading and im ferling more human. Im thinking its just the placenta begining to work. Feel like I have been 10 weeks forever so cannot wait to be 11 weeks tomorrow.

 

[Lozdi]

Debzie my morning sickness vanished at 10 weeks with this one, and then returned at 16 weeks! Now I have been ms free for a good few weeks!

It once took me nearly 40 minutes to find the HB, I can't remember exactly how far along I was but It was before my NT scan at 13 weeks. I had just about convinced myself baby had gone when he swam past and gave me a couple pf seconds of HB. It was tense but such a relief when I found it! Tp say they don;t have a ton of room in there they sure can hide!

 

[Twinkie210]

At my Dr. appt this week, little guy was all curled up and my Dr. had to physically push on my belly to find his heart beat and he has limited space! I imagine when they are only an inch or so big that they have plenty of room to hide out

 

[Clobo]

Even now at 33 weeks i cant always find the heartbeat straight away!! Little monkey must be swimming away from it each time!!! I thought i would become obsessed but i forced myself to only do it once or twice a week and sometimes i even forgot I had it for a while!!

I know, scary only 6 and a bit weeks to go (or more or less!!)

[too_scared]

i am not enjoying feeling so blah but i am happy to be feeling like this... haha! i really hope it doesn't last the whole pg. my mom was sick but not throwing up until at least 7 months with me. i can't take it that long! i have to go back to work in september so i hope it eases off by then! 13 weeks the sunday before school starts again

i think i will get a doppler. thanks ladies i really hope i don't become obsessed with it, though. i will try like you did, clobo, and only allow myself to use it once or twice a week.

i finally got a call from the specialist in st. john's. i am going in on the 30th to have a scan. i will be 8+1 then. i have do drive 700 km one way to get to see this dr... :S she is supposed to be really good, though. she is the one my gp wants me to see. one of only 2 fertility specialists in newfoundland.

i hope you are all having a great day

i have a super paranoid, scared question. i went to the bathroom earlier and when i wiped there was a lot of yellowish-greenish egg white like cm. sorry for tmi there is no smell or anything. since the spotting that i had stopped on sunday i have been getting the creamy cm back that i had before but now there was quite bit of this stuff i am scared it is the mucus plug (i don't even know if i have a formed mucus plug yet at 6+4... ) before my first mc i had quite a bit of cm that was more jelly-like and i am scared i am headed on the same path.

dh and i did bd last night for the first time in more than a week. i am trying to tell myself that it is just leftover stuff from that.

please tell me i am crazy.

 

[Lozdi]

Yup, your crazy! But no more crazy than the rest of us were in the early weeks!

It sounds like the cm I used to get early on to be honest, yellowy ewcm! Its because production of cm increases to protect your cervix from infections, its totally normal.

I'm not sure when the mucus plug actually starts to form I have never even seen one! I either simply didn't have any with my boys, or lost it at some point without realizing! Just because you had something similar before your last mc does not mean your going to mc again- it was most likely a total coincidence last time.

I bet the BD contributed too!

I actually woke up the other day with so much runny cm my initial thought was OMG my waters have gone! Don't worry, it was just normal cm- I braced myself for a gush upon sitting up, but there was nothing.

 

[too_scared]

thank you so much

i really am trying to relax and i am doing pretty good, but then i get things like this... haha! with the first mc it wasn't like what i had today, it was different, so i am just going to tell myself that i am still going along just as i should

thanks again!

 

[Lozdi]

Relaxing is not easy, but keep as calm as you can, and don;t forget the one day at a time mantra!

 

[too_scared]

really trying hard not to forget that mantra

 

[Lozdi]

When will you allow yourself to have a ticker?

 

[too_scared]

I think after my scan on the 30th. 8 weeks then.
