I've seen it Ras - congratulations! Very cure bean you've got there.
 
Hi all, been away working in Asia for 2 weeks and it's been impossible to get on and post.

So sorry for eme, marathongirl and babyfeva on the losses :hugs:

AFM, thought that my increasingly mental PAL fears couldn't get any worse but adding in jetlag and fear of unhygienic food preparation left me even more :wacko::haha: barely slept for 2 weeks.

Am grounding myself for the rest of the first tri, statistically I know a bit of travel makes no difference to the outcome of this pregnancy, but if something goes wrong when I'm away it will be that much worse.
 
Hi ladies, can I join in? I'm 6 weeks by dates today (though have a 33-35 day cycle so probably more like 5 weeks) and had a MMC in April at 11 weeks (measured 6 weeks).

I am SO nervous! I haven't any symptoms apart from a bit of nipple tenderness when feeding my 21 month old but never had any when carrying her either so doubt that means anything! I'm probably going to request an early scan before booking in with midwife this time but am so scared of what it will show, I'm driving myself nuts! Doesn't help that the CB digi read 1-2 weeks when I should've been 5 but that could be down to late ovulation and the fact the results can be dodgy! Tempted to use the other one to see if it's gone up but resisting that for now!

Good luck to you all, here's hoping we have sticky ones this time! x
 
I caught up on the last 6 days of posts that I missed while I was out of town.

I am sorry to those who experienced a loss.

Congrats Ras on the beautiful scan!

My ultrasound is tomorrow, I am super excited and a little nervous. I hope everything is okay with my little bean and that I see a heartbeat!
 
Welcome home NorthStar! :hugs:

Welcome MiniBump! :hugs: Congratulations!
 
Welcome newcomers and returnees. I get the uncertainty caused by the digi tests. Mine said 1-2 weeks when I swore I was closer to 5. Funny thing is it was right.

Yay for the return of pregnancy symptoms. I usually have very mild pregnancies and am finding that my symptoms have been waning since I rounded the corner to week 8. Still present some, but not as prevalent. I'd freak if it weren't for the heartbeat at my scan. Still have bouts of nerves over it.

Congrats on the scan Raspberry.
 
Great news Ras.
Happy that you are all feeling "ill". :) It's a good sign.
 
Spoke too soon. Morning sickness is back with a vengeance. Lol.
Good luck tomorrow Saavy.
 
Savvy looking forward to seeing your photos!
Hi minibump congratulations. We weren't allowed a scan other than the 12 week one so I booked 2, one was yesterday and the next is in 3 weeks.

Ras I saw your 7 week scan in the other thread, thanks for posting :flower:

I'm debating paying for a private scan too, I did last time, but sadly mc'd 2 days before the scan, so in the end the scan just confirmed the worst :nope: My partner is working away though so I'd want him to be there if I do it this time.

The consultant in the private hospital was lovely, unlike the real cow I spoke to at the NHS EPAU. The appointment was on time as well. It's a whole different world in the private healthcare system.
 
I had a private scan last time and everything was fine butthe baby died shortly after and I didn't know till 11 weeks. Id really rather know than think I was pregnant for a month without knowing anything was wrong.
Xx

So sorry :hugs:

Whilst a scan doesn't affect the outcome the total lack of care we get in the NHS system is really disgraceful. All these years paying into it and the only time I've ever needed it I got nothing. When I had my MC I learned what to expect from a thread on mumsnet, got absolutely nothing from the doctors:growlmad:

Maybe I'll book a private scan for next weekend, when my partner is home from work.
 
Hi ladies,

congrats to all that are pregnant, baby dust to all.

I too am pregnant, due Feb 14th, I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy on Feb 14th (ironically my new due date), it was so hard but nothing prepared me for what I am going through now! Thought once I was pregnant would be happy and relieved but never been so stressed in my life! I am like a hypochondriac of pregnancies. I believe I have it all. Some days I think I have an ectopic pregnancy, others a molar, others I believe it over. I analyse all the symptoms like a crazy person, I am so not this type of person!

Loved reading this thread, its so reassuring that so many of us go through this.

I too cannot wait, I have booked a private scan for Friday when I will be 7 weeks.

Good luck to all on here, lots of baby dust!
 
You're in good company then. Tends to be what loss does to us. Easy enough to say "Try and relax" quite another thing to find a way to make it happen.
 
Mrslemon - I'm sure all is fine. I've had a few freakouts over breast soreness going away. It always comes back. And even if it doesn't, they will stop hurting at some point so don't worry :hugs:. August 2nd will be here before you know it.

Hi venus! Basically, what anxious mommy said, you are definitely in good company here! PAL brings out the crazy in all of us. There's no avoiding it. If we want our rainbows, we have to go through the hell of it all. It will be worth it.

Can't wait for your update savvy!
 
To the UK ladies who have booked private scans - do you have to take your handheld notes with you? The nearest place to me says that you do but we don't get them here until after the 12 week scan!

I'm hoping EPAU will take pity on me anyway as they were so good when I miscarried, it seems to be such a postcode lottery!! x

Nope the nhs aren't interested in any scans you get privately and the private people won't write in them or anything. Most of the places get you to sign a disclaimer that the scans are for pleasure purposes only unless you register with a private obstetrician and have medical scans that way.
