Im nervous history could b repeatin itself!! UPDATE!!!

[BABYCAREY]

please don't let your age depress you! I was 43 when I conceived this little one(am 44/will be 44 when I deliver) and this was after a mc two years ago (August 2009) and two possible chemicals....

I had loads of blood work, pre-IVF (but got pregnant naturally, actually) and took metformin (for PCOS) and thyroid medication when it was realised I had an underactive thyroid the month before I became pregnant with this little fellow....I also lost weight, tried to eat healthily and we saw a fertility specialist (oh, I also quit smoking in January, but didn't smoke when was pregnant before until mc....), so age isn't really a big issue BUT if it is a third mc, then it's time to fight for more tests/all tests, to make sure and find out what it going on....

am really, really sorry....

best wishes

Thank Sabrina
Im hopin they dont fob me off with more nonsense!
All i ever heard the last 2 times was we dont test until its the 3rd MC and it has to be the 3rd in a row!!!
Im worried they will say we wont test a 41 yr old woman!!! I honestly think i wud crack up!!Do you think they cud say "No we dont test ladies over 40"?
I had 3 pregnancies before my 1st MMC,they were never easy pregnancies but i always had a baby in my arms after 9months!! So i think havin 3 in a row means theres a real problem goin on!!
After the 1st MMC in Aug 09 it tuk us ages to conceive! Finally we manager it in Feb this yr but that ended in another MMC
I said to my Hubby then that i thought they musts did sumthing wrong to me when i was knocked out for the 1st MMC(EPRC) and now more than ever i firmily believe it!! Do you think they cud say "No we dont test ladies over 40"?
Suppose only time will tell??

Hi hun, I was 39 when I had Ollie but had 5 losses between 07 and 09 with a 20 week loss many years ago, my first loss was then followed by 2 healthy children but they tested me after my 2nd loss, it wasnt concurrent and they didnt worry about my age.

I spose its all about your local health authority, age doesnt matter sometimes xx

Hello Girls
I said i would keep you all updated with the results frm my scan!
Well my appointment was for 11.30am,didnt get taken in until almost midday!!
By that point i was so nervous i felt sick in my stomach with worry!
The midwife who called me in was the 1 who dealt with me earlier on in yr with last MMC,she was lovely
I explained what had happened over wkd and so she brought me in for a internal exam with The Wand!
I couldnt look at the screen and she said look at what i see!!
I turned around and couldnt believe my eyes!! A flicker!! She said this luks like a viable interuterine pregnancy!! She then measured and the measurements were as she put it perfect!!
She said all luks fine,just what i would expect at this stage!!Dont worry!!
She said i was to obv take things easy and not over do it! I just lay there and cried my eyes out!! I had convinced myself the baby was gone esp after speakin to nurse yesday morning,she didnt hold out much hope!!!
I had brought my mate n with me she was outside the curtain crying!! My Hubby couldnt go as he has appointments at work!And i as sickened to my stomach with worry,thinking i had to go thru that all again!!
OMG! Girls!! I honestly think my little Angels were workin some magic for me!!
I had resigned myself to losing another Baby only to find a heartbeat!!
Im handin in a sicknote to my work!! I feel ive been handed a 2nd chance!!
I am gonna do my best and try do things right frm now on!!
It just goes to ahow that sumtimes there really is hope when you are convinced there isnt!
Thank you so much for all ur lovely messages Ladies,i cant believe im still pregnant!!!!! Woooooo hooooooooo

I kno!!! What a shocker!!! Im still on a high!!
I said i didnt have sore boobs and that sickness had gone,and she laughed and said not everybody has symptons!! And they dont always stay that long!!! Which is funny,becus i had none over wkd and then last nite it felt like somebody was stabbin my boobs!! Plus queasy!! Go figure??Huh??
She never listened or measured heart rate! But said all is as it shud b at this stage.
Just made my day!!

Just be reading your story and I'm so pleased all worked out okay. I had tears in my eyes when you said the midwife said look at what I can see!!!

I'm so pleased for you. Pregnancy after loss is so hard. I'm still anxious at 28 weeks!!!

Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.

Hi
Thank you very much!
Yes pregnancy is very hard after a mc!! I was convinced that this was goin to be my 3rd in a row!!!
Midwife said i was no different to any other woman who was in same position regarding MMC! She said you are askin the same questions! She said i have to try stay positive!! I asked about aspirin and progesterone and she said there was abs no medical evidence to prove they help a pregnancy!! Plus the consultants in my hospital wont entertain them!!!
Im still sick which i kno is a good sign,pain but it means alls good with baby!!
My friend had 1 mc last yr and is now 20wks she said she still checks everytime she wipes at the loo!! She ha had bleeding and pains thru out,but all is well in scans!! Her last 2 were very prem!! 1st was 24 wks and 2nd wa almost 28 so shes panickin incase history repeats!!

I see you've given everyone hope! I'm just so excited and happy for you, plus we're both due on July 2nd!!! Glad your symptoms came back! My nausea went away but I do get these moments that last for about 30 seconds. I also have on and off boob pain, headaches, dizziness and cramping. It's just that I was having all these at once and now they're really spaced out and the nausea is like once every few days. Anyway enough about me, how are you? When's your next appointment? I go in Tuesday for my ultrasound and am so nervous! But I am throwing my baby girl a birthday party this weekend so that'll keep me busy! Come on Tuesday! Love that this turned into a happy story, it just feels so unreal and it's not even happening to me lol! Funny though how we all connect and share these feelings if sadness and joy without even meeting each other! Well, I'll quit rambling now lol!

Yes, lets be buddies!! I usually am throwing up in the hospital by this point, or at least I was with my daughter. I'm just trying to concentrate on the symptoms I do have, so I was dizzy once today, naseaus for about a minute, cramping and headaches...and not to mention I'm starving constantly!

Girl that trip sounds fun! It'll be a nice treat I'm sure! I hope I'm crying with joy too on Tuesday!! Sending happy healthy vibes your way!!

[SabrinaKat]

Oh, fantastic news -- just take it one day at a time, it's hard, but you can do it!

We went to Mamas and Papas today and they said that we could reserve stuff and if anything happened, then get a refund (am 25+wks and still nervous), the salesperson was really lovely and said that lots of ladies feel pressured to buy stuff, but not to worry, etc., so we sorta picked a pram out, but of course, will not buy until much, much later....

best wishes

Thank you SK
My friend is now 21wks after mmc last yr and said she is so nervous,she said shes afraid to even think of her due date!
Its so hard not to buy wee bits n pieces,esp nowadays with money/jobs the way they r!!!
Thats very reassuring that if u did put deposit down you wud get it bk!
I kno my Mum always said it wasnt the done thing,always best to wait!
But thats v old fashioned i think!! I have2 prams frm when Ben was born,still in good nick,also kept the cutest clothe he had(just incase),but we will have to start frm scratch if this is a little lady!lol
Either way i honestly dont mind!!Theres a lot to b said for 10fingers 10toes!

[SabrinaKat]

well...I'm scheduled for a c-section on February 19th, so the three month countdown begins TODAY, so as of tomorrow, I can say 'in less than three months, we'll meet this little fellow!...(it is tomorrow here, so yeah!) --oops, you're NI, so it's tomorrow for both of us....

as for a bed, we have a box that the cat likes -- if we put a pillow in, that should be okay, right? (I am just kidding!)

best wishes (and go to bed!)

Hi Ro! My name is Karista, you can call me kris if you like...my nickname is actually taterbug or tater for short though lol! Well, last couple of nights I've been dryheaving like crazy! Never thought I'd be so happy lol! Course thankfully it only last for a few minutes! My daughter will be 1 on the 30th of this month but shes having her party tomorrow!! Do you have a facebook too? If so karista earnest is me, picture if my little girl in a purple and green outfit is my profile pic!! I'm so jealous you're not in maternity clothes yet, I am but it's mostly bloat lol! Can't believe we'll be 8 weeks on Monday! 3 more days till my ultrasound! Glad your midwife said that, gives me comfort too thanks for sharing! Well, off to bed soooo very tired lol!
