Hi there, Im Vicki.
I am currently 11 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby, although I only have 1 lc here with me.
My first baby, a little girl, was stillborn at 20 weeks gestation. We had no idea anything was wrong, we went along to a scan hoping to find out the sex of our baby, but instead we were told she had died. After a pm was done, we found out Erin had died of Turners syndrome, a chromasome abnormality that only affects girls. People can live with Turners, but Erin had it so severely that she never would have survived.
Just 6 1/2 weeks after Erin was born, I got pregnant again. It was a real shock - it was the first month of trying and I was very lucky to ge pregnant straight away. My pregnancy was very difficult, both emotionally and physically. I had bleeding 4-5 times during the pregnancy and I was convinced that my baby wasn't going to make it
However, Harrison was born on 23rd March 2007, I never thought the day would come!
Last Summer, I sadly had a missed misscariage at 9 weeks, again, I had no idea that anything was wrong. I should have been 9 weeks by my scan, but baby was only measuring 6 weeks and had no heartbeat. I chose to have a d and c and had surgery the next day. Having the misscariage really knocked me for six, it affected me an awful lot more than I thought it would. Even now I think about how pregnant I should be and when the baby is due (should have been 16th March, a week before my sons birthday).
I am now pregnant again, which came as a bit of a shock! I'd been using a clearblue fertility monitor and according to that I hadn't ovulated, but I obviously had as I got a bfp when I tested a week after af was late! Im currently 11 weeks today, and ive already had 2 scans, one at 8 weeks and one last week at 10 weeks. Ive got my nuchal fold scan and blood test next Monday which im terrified about, im so frightened they are going to tell me they think theres something wrong with my baby. Im desperatly trying to be positive, but its soooo hard!
Thanks for reading, its turned into a bit of an essay!
With Love,
Vicki
