Oh lyns i am so sorry. theres nothing i can say having been there i just locked my self away from the worls for 2 weeks and cried. Anything you need just ask xxx

 

[godivalocks]

Not a good day for me. My scan has shown my baby died about 4 or 5 weeks ago, and I have to go for a D&C tomorrow.

I'm sorry ladies, I have to leave you.

 

[NikiJJones]

Oh Lyns! I am so, so sorry to hear your news! Devastated for you completely.
Here for you anytime.


I am now feeling very humbled. I have been really suffering with sickness, but have just realised that this is nothing, providing my beanie is going to be OK, compared with what Lyns is going through.

 

[eeyoresbird]

Totally with you Nikki, I have been such a moan recently and this whole thing puts it into perspective. So sorry to Lyns' news, infact really devestated. can not begin to imagine what she is going through. If you still reading Lyns we are all thinking of u and here for you hun. PLease take care

 

[Lyns]

Thank you everyone. I am back from hospital, after having had an ERPC, which went OK. Apparently everything about my body had carried on being pregnant apart from my baby....so I did lose a fair bit of blood, but, I have to say, I do feel surprisngly OK....a bit empty and lost, but the human body and spirit is an amazingly resilient thing.

I am lucky that I have such a wonderful husband and daughter to focus upon, and such amazing friends here to share my happy and sad times with.

I can't thank you enough for you messages, both on this thread and the pm's....which I shall answer as soon as I can, but I just wanted to let you all know I am OK.....I hope I'm back to share journies with you all again soon xxxx

Lyns you're just such a great spirit and a great person. You've got such an amazing attitude, and I think you really have helped a lot of girls on here. So thank you. I know that has nothing to do with how you're feeling right now, but I just wanted to let you know that. Otherwise, and much much love to you right now. I'm sure, for me at least last time it didn't hit me for a few weeks later, so we're all here for you when you want to talk. Either way

 

[Always&4ever]

I'm sorry Lyns

 

[godivalocks]

Hubby is gone. It so hard being in an empty house, in an empty bed. This is going to be a hard year. Hope he comes back home to me, safe.

Thankfully, I already have a loving dog. It does help, but it's still not the same.
I keep thinking OH is going to walk in at any moment and have to remind myself that he's not going to.

On the bright side, the OB did an impromptu ultrasound for him a few days before he left, since she couldn't order a professional one until around 20 wks. She wasn't an expert with the machinery like a technician would be, so she couldn't zoom in, but he got to see it moving around and take a couple small prints of it with him.

She also proscribed me a motion sickness medicine for my morning sickness. It makes me less sick, but it also makes me fall asleep.

 

[wishingonastar]

i'm glad he had some pics to take and that he got to see a scan cos it helps them bond i think x

 

[csmummu]

Im so glad you managed to get the scan! Your doggy is going to be a great comfort!

 

[godivalocks]

Did this thread die? Everyone in a different thread?

 

[scrubgrub]

Busy with the holiday season. . . mostly. I rarely get on anymore...
So I had my Nuchal scan today. I'm 11 weeks 3 days. They had to do the scan vaginally- bah- the baby wasn't moving in the right way, and they kept moving it. They said they saw the nasal bone, though the doctor said he wasn't sure because of the angle. Mostly though they saw fluid and they said the fluid around the neck was 4+ inches, and anything above three makes you worry. Still trying to figure it all out.

 

[csmummu]

Have they told you you need any more scans?

Im here, nothing to report though still having terrible nausia 24/7 roll on the 30th scan makes it all worth while!

 

[scrubgrub]

Well the ultrasound tech makes me worried (thus why she's not a doc right?!). She's all, well there's no need for her to do the blood work because it'll just come back negative. i.e. she's pretty sure everything looks bad! The neck skin is over 4mm and then she showed me water edema under the skin in other areas. She said there was a nasal bone she thought, but then the doc said there wasn't. He wants me to go in for a CVS. Either way, I've just gone through the whole range of emotions. Sadness, hope, confusion. I still don't know if I want the CVS, as it carries a chance for miscarriage. I will keep and love the baby no matter what, but I want to know to the best of my ability exactly what I'm in for if I am. the MIL says it could mean nothing... but still, they seemed pretty sure today.

 

[godivalocks]

I've seen the term Nuchal Scan, but not quite sure what it is. Guess I'll have to look it up.

My next appt. won't be until the 15th of next month, and I really don't know what they want to do there. Didn't say, just called me and set and appt. Maybe some testing?

I'll be in 2nd Tri then.

They have a booklet they gave me, but I misplaced it. I'll have to find it and see if it has a time line they follow.

 

[wishingonastar]

oh chick i'm sorry you're having to worry... sounds like the baby was making it difficult for them to measure so perhaps another scan would be different? or if you had the blood test and it said 'low risk' that might be more reassurance for you, or if it said high risk it could prepare you more...?

i know what you mean about the cvs test...i read about it in the big purple pregnancy book produced by the nhs which you can get from your GP receptionists, if not your midwife and it did say the risk of miscarriage from it is incredibly low (like really really low) if you want i can dig up the info and either try and scan it in or summarise it???
