due 4th jan. need a friend

[Butterflygirl]

Can I join?

I'm due on December the 29th and have previously had two miscarriages at 9 and 13 weeks. Both were devastating ESP the one at 13 weeks where we even had the nuchal scan and seen the baby alive and kicking three separate times on ultrasound.

I am very glad I am pregnant again but absolutely terrified of miscarrying for the third time. I have no early scan booked as of yet.

I am feeling tired and a bit nauseas so far. And VERY gassy and bloated (tmi lol).

Hi everyone and welcome butterflygirl
I've booked a scan for just over 8 weeks. I'm excited and terrified at the same time! Really tired today, no ms........stressing me out its gone!!
Can't remember if I've told you but I'm a vet and I do a lot of ultrasound! Last time I was too scared to scan myself because I didn't want to see any problems- then after my mmc I promised myself that if I ever got pregnant agin I'd scan myself once a week to check on things! Now I'm too scared to do it again lol. I've decided to get a doctor to do it at 8 weeks and if everything is ok I'll do it once a week after until 12 weeks!
It's a bit of a curse and a blessing having an ultrasound machine in my grasp every day!!

Hi everyone how are you all doing?
I'm ok, 6 weeks today!
Symptoms coming and going- stresses me out when they go away!!
Hope you are all ok xxx

Hey, hope you don't mind me joining in on the conversation.
I had a MC at 6 weeks in Nov too, and have recently found out I am expecting again, with my due date around Jan 8th.
I'm absolutely terrified because I don't want to go through that experience again.
I am only 18, and feel like I don't have anyone to talk too that knows how i'm feeling.
I really wish all of you a happy and VERY healthy 9 months, and i'm glad I've finally found the support i've been looking for!

Hello! I'm 8 weeks today with twins after two early m/c in 2009. At first, everything scared me, but after two ultrasounds a week apart I've seen two very strong heartbeats and seen them double in size. I know I'm not in the clear, but my anxiety has lessened recently. I've never made it past 6 weeks, so I'm happy for now. I feel for all of us, worry during a very happy time just stinks. I have a feeling I will worry the whole time lol

 

[dairymomma]

Can I hop in on this convo too? I've had two kids and six early miscarriages (all between 6 and 9wk4d). I'm now 9wk5d and have had some light spotting the last few days. I am absolutely TERRIFIED of miscarrying again and don't really have anyone I can talk to right now as most of my family and friends would freak out more than I already am. Hoping things hold steady this weekend and I can get in to the drs on Monday. Wish I could see my own dr but she's out of the office til Tuesday and I don't know if I can wait that long. I had an ultrasound at 7wk4d and everything looked okay. My jellybean's heartbeat was in the 150s so that was encouraging. Now, I'm spotting and I don't know what to think. I've been on progesterone since my positive home test and I've been reading it can cause spotting but I've never had this before with my other pregnancies (while taking progesterone). No cramping or anything (yet) just nerves and anxiety causing me to run to the bathroom every time I imagine a twinge.

I'm the same. This is my first baby and last time I was really sick for 12 weeks then told at my scan baby didn't develop past 8 weeks but my body didn't register it. So now I m more nervous coz last time I had so many symptoms and it still went wrong!
Hope I'm gonna chill out after a few weeks!!
I'm scared of going to the bathroom too lol think its gonna take some time to get used too.
My fingers are crossed so tightly for us!!

I am so scared I'm not the only one who is scared to go to the bathroom

 

[Wyldemomma]

Hi ladies! I would love to join the group! I am currently 5w2d +/- 2d and this is my fourth pregnancy in the last 14 months. I had a MMC at 10 weeks and 2 early MC back to back earlier this year. I am scared out of my mind, but trying to take it a day at a time. It is nice to read everyone's post and know that i am not alone in all this.

 

[quirkyms]

I just wanna wish everyone the very *bessssstttt* of luck! Fighting!

Its been 40+ days since my 2nd trimester loss and Im still waiting for my period to come. So I cant even try to conceive. As terrified as I am at the thought of going through a similar loss, the moment I saw this thread, my first thought is "YOU LADIES ARE SO LUCKY!!"

So yes, my very best wishes to y'all, getting pregnant is already a GREAT positive step forward. I look forward to the day i can join this thread. Fighting!!

 

[dairymomma]

quirkyms-I typically don't get my period for 6-8 weeks after a m/c. I know what it's like to wait, and wait, and wait some more... Sorry to hear about your loss. Miscarriages are never easy. Sending you hope and hugs!

Wyldemomma-no, you aren't alone. It's even harder to take it one day at a time when you have a history of miscarriage but keep it up. If one day at a time seems like it's too much to do, take it one breath at a time instead.

 

[dairymomma]

Update-went in yesterday to get checked out. Spotting off and on for about a week and cramps/aches in lower back yesterday am had me VERY nervous. Dr. was encouraging and ordered labs and an ultrasound. Lab and us results should be in today or tomorrow but the dr told me my cervix looks good-nice and closed! yay!-and the us tech let me see the baby and hb. Strong steady hb in the 170s and even got a little wave from my jellybean! S/he couldn't wait to say Hi Mom. Result-feeling alot better and a little more hopeful now.

 

[Wyldemomma]

Keep us posted!

 

[JohnsonGirl]

Hi everyone how u all doing? I'm good- scan yesterday showed baby measuring on track. Nausea starting to fade- think I'd be nervous if I'd not just had a scan!!
Good news on your scan dairymomma

 

[dairymomma]

Sorry I'm out of the loop here. It's been crazy busy on the farm (if you didn't guess from my name, I'm married to a dairy farmer) lately and to top it off, our computer is acting up. Hard for me to get online regularly for a bit here and when I do, the stupid machine locks up...Grrr...Anyway, the doctor called with my results. Definitely still a good pregnancy-hCG, progesterone, and hemoglobin were all where they should be. Ultrasound showed a 10wk4d baby (2 days bigger than my lmp) and a small uterine bleed behind the placenta. Whew! Now that I know what's causing my spotting, I'm so much more relieved. Also not as worried since I had two of these kinds of bleeds with my dd and still made it to term with her.

 

[dairymomma]

Johnson, my nausea was TERRIBLE at the very start of my pregnancy but as I've gotten further out, it's faded more and more. I still get horrendously sick when I do have morning sickness but I'm only getting it like once or twice a week. Yes, it does make you nervous but, like you said, you had a scan that showed your baby is measuring just right. Glad to hear that!
