I feel I am just on the count down...

[secretbaby]

I am now 20 weeks pregnant - my problems last time happened at 20.6 weeks - I feel like i am now just counting down the days waiting for it to happen again.

I can't sleep -I have my 20 week scan tuesday it was just after my last one that things went wrong - plus I am high risk for down syndrome so they are looking for the markers - AND I have to have a fetal med scan due to my oldest son having IUGR when he was born. I don't feel like I will ever be able to sleep again - I just can't switch off from this feeling I am on a countdown to the end. (I have put the downs risk to the back of my mind its the PPROM that is the main worry with the - if we get past the pprom stage what about IUGR as we very very nearly lost my oldest son to that - they didn't know if he would make it through the EMCS)

I have tried to be positive and mostly I can but the last week has been hell on earth.

Sending hugs Hun. You've been through so much.

I have no advice or experience but I did not want to read and run without sending love to you xxx

You really are going through it.

I was like this in the run up to my 12 week scan.. the only advice i can give you is to try and take care of yourself, and lean on those around you.

We're all here for you x

Hi hun - how are you at risk for Downs is that from testing etc.

Im classed as high risk due to blood clotting disorder and have a uterine artery scan on 28th September, I have been told to prepare for birth any time from 25 weeks not that they have found anything wrong upto now. Baby measures fine and bang on date, fluid is fine and bloods etc have all been good.

Im praying that the scan shows no notching but its such a worry.

Ive never experienced late loss like you so I cant comment on that but just wish you all the very best xxxx

I was not as far along as you when I had my two mcs, secretbaby, but I am having that same feeling. First was mmc, discovered at my 8 week u/s and second was at 5 weeks. I am around 5 weeks now and all I can do is think that this is when it happened before, so it's going to again. My first u/s isn't until Oct. 13, and I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the stress until then!
