Hi Ladies, its ashame that we're all so anxious after having losses. I feel an anxious wreck constantly trying to check whether my boobs are still sore cos they come and go. I havent had morning sickness so to speak in the mornings. Just the past couple of days Ive felt quite nauseaus throughout the day and particularly whilst trying to eat my dinner. Its only just started after 6 weeks x

I have read morning sickness usually dont come until week 6 or 7... and Some women dont have it at all...

Hey ladies! The last few days I have decided to be really positive about everything. So far it has worked. I realized that it is not fair to little bean to doom it from the beginning due to past experiences. And the best thing that I can do for my baby is be positive and healthy. That being said I finally have some nausea today. I also got a call from the doctors today and my ultrasound will be May 4th. (18 days away)

 

[love1623]

Good for you Nitengale My first ultrasound is April 30th. Ill be 7 weeks.. Im counting down the days

I'm trying really really hard to be positive but it's not easy. On a positive note, I got my hcg result back. 587 at 4+3 is not bad with a doubling time of 31hours. More brown spotting today but less than yesterday. Now just got to rest. 2 weeks until I can ask for a scan.

Yay, that's great! At least you have some reassurance while you wait now. Hope that's the end of the spotting for you and the time flies

 

[grenouille]

Thanks for the warm welcome

That's great news Lala!

I can't wait until wednesday morning. It will be my first dr. appointment that I ever make it to! (well, regarding a pregnancy!)

It's hard to stay positive, because in a way I don't want to get my hopes up too much just in case... but so far everything seems to be going well and I'm very glad.

How is everyone doing?

OMG...the little boy I take care is 7.5 months old and he just ate container of advocados and then proceeded to projectile vomit all of it back up! Everyone was covered with green goo, even the dogs! So gross but kind of funny too! Everyone needed a bath and the dogs helped clean up! LOL

Other than that I am biding my time until the 23rd to get the first look at my bubs!

Eww!! Super gross! Nice of the dogs to help with clean up though. haha

I've decided not to have a private scan now, as much as it will reassure me on that one day I know I'll still be panicking after, I'm going to put the £90 toward my dream pram instead

I've been wondering recently how to tell the kids, obviously Bethany won't understand with her being so young, but Dylan is 3 1/2 now... We won't be telling them until after the 12 week scan, but I just don't know what to say to them, Dylan was too young to understand last time...

Hey ladies,

Had some brown spotting yesterday morning, not too much just a bit when I wiped. So went straight to the Early Pregnancy Unit at St Marys in Manchester who scanned me. All is fine, baby has grown since Saturday and is measuring 8+1, got to see the HB again which si magical!!! So for anyone that is spotting, please try and not panic like I did, most of the time it is fairly normal. Just get yourselve to the nearest EPU, they are fantastic snd so helpful

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Hi Katestar, I know how worrying the brown spotting can be but generally it is fine. Im glad all is well and you got scanned to see the heartbeat again. It is more common that we all realise I reckon. I find teh staff at EPAS are really nice aswell.
Im having it on and off too but my situation is different, I actually have uterus didelphys..two seperate wombs each with their own cervix. So the baby is in my right side fine but the left non pregnant womb seems to have a dark patch in it which looks like a haematoma or area where the bleed is coming from. Im not freaking out as I know that its in a completely seperate womb, its obviously confused as its not pregnant. Its bizarre.
Last year in May when I got to 8 weeks pregnant and my period would've been due I started heavy red bleeding with clots and cried my eyes out. Was told at the hospital that Id miscarried but then got several scans over the next few days and the baby was always fine heart beating away! Was very distressing but now that I know about my double womb it makes sense. We didnt know about it back then!
Its still annoying all the same, this is the type of anxiety that all of us girls have to go through after a miscarriage, constantly wary about going to the toilet for fear of blood.

They say when you get to 6 weeks with a heartbeat your chance of miscarriage decreases but especially when you get to 8 weeks and see the heart beating away your chances go right down again. so thats brilliant news for you x

Hi Lala, that is really good HCG numbers and a great doubling time. Please try not to think the worst about the brown spotting, its def. old blood and so common. They really should tell us that more often. Last week at my scan appointment I told teh nurse about the brown and she said you've no idea the amount of girls that come in with that. Sure enough everything was fine at my scan.
Your baby has def. implanted well with those HCG numbers. Just try and rest up, I hope teh next two weeks fly by so you can get a scan xx

 

[asibling4gi04]

katestar, that is wonderful news about your bean!

lala, great numbers! I cannot wait for your next update!

How is everyone??

AFM, Yes, nausea arrived.. And I could not eat or drink last night. Itgives me hope for a sticky bean..we will see soon enough...

 

[LalaR]

Thanks Justkeeptryin,
Spotting gone today and trying to rest as much as I can. Not easy with a full time job though! I agree with you that it is awful what we need to go through after a loss. We should all be enjoying this time without all the worry.

Asibling - glad you have had some symptoms as I know it will settle your anxieties a bit. Not long to go before your appointment now!!

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Asibling, glad the nausea has kicked in. My stomachs is churning at lots of smells. My dog is making me feel quite sick as she needs a bath and even my deodorant this morning made me feel quite sick..the joys! As you say hopefully its a good sign for a sticky bean x

 

[asibling4gi04]

OMG justkeep I know! Smells really bother me too! Peoples breath, my daughters new sandals, everything!

Hi ladies, have any of you experience with progesterone levels? I just got mine back from bloods at 4+3 weeks. The level is 27.7 (UK) or 8.71 (USA). It seems a bit low to me although I have been told it is probably ok but to just wait and see. Is anyone on progesterone supplements?
