Here's my gummy bear blob!

You can see the edge of my humongous cyst on the left there. And, I guess there's another cyst there on the right, too? She didn't say anything about that.

Awww little love your pic, not great about your cyst though, they said the same to me when I had my scan, mine isn't massive but it's on the bigger side. But I had this with Henry as well and it disappeared on its own. Try not to worry to much, if they were really worried then they would want to check u sooner I would of thought.

Haley, thinking of you hun, hope it bypasses you without to much trauma, please let us know ur ok x x x

Littlespy - beautiful blob xx

Nats - thinking of you today, let us know as soon as poss how you are getting on xx

Linz - i am managing pretty well at the moment with just a number of normal pillows. Previous pregnancies i had a V shaped pillow that helped loads with breastfeeding too. xx

Thanks Leia, I'm a bit more nervous today but I'm still trying to think positive! All my signs are looking good, sore bigger boobs, bloating, nausea on and off and tired. Hardly any pain and no bleeding. So I'm hoping all that means my bean is cooking nicely, appoinent is at 12.30 so will update as soon as I'm home x x x

 

[wishnhoping]

Eeee Nats! Big day! Ill be anxiously waiting your post!

Leia how are you feeling?

Haley- Stay safe! I get so worried about those storms down there! I dont know how you all do it!

Julie- Awww it really DOES look like a gummy bear! Super cute! Im sorry about your cysts..I am prone to them but they dont usually bother me (IE- Send me to the ER) unless I am ovulating while I have one...which has sent me to the ER twice. I hope it goes away soon!

AFM- My appt went well. It was really great to see the staff at my Doctors office...it all just felt more real and relaxed. I guess I was more stressed going to the fertility doctro becasue I felt like we were monitoring the pregnancy for something going wrong, but seeing my normal doctor just gave me a happy peaceful feeling like I had with my first pregnancy. We didnt have to do any bloodwork because I did all that when I went to the specialist in June so they did a ghonorea (sp?) test and I also have to do a GD test because of my weight. That was pretty much it...my next appt is Sept 24...my 1 yr wedding anniversary and Ill be 13 weeks...so hello 2nd tri!!!
I am supposed to schedule the genetics screening somewhere between 11-13 weeks though so Ill have an appt before then where Ill get to see the baby

Is anyone opting out of the genetic screening? I dont know if I would terminate but I know DH would want to...such a hard choice...ugh I dont want to think about it..moving on

ps- I really CAN spell I just get lazy sometimes...sorry for the typos ^^^^^

 

[nats77]

Well ladies I wish I had something good to tell u all but I don't
There was only a small amount of growth and no heart beat, so it looks as though my baby has grown wings and gone to join it's brothers or sisters
I am so upset I'm not quite sure how I'm even functioning, just wanted you all to know x x x

 

[leia37]

Oh Nats, huge hugs hon, i'm so sorry. xxxxx

 

[Haleytivet]

Oh Nats!! I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this again! Are they sure, or are you just expecting the worst? I am sure hopeful that little bean is just taking a slow start and will make its debut soon. When will they scan you again?

Hugs!!!!!!

Wishin,

We did the genetic testing last week. I would never abort if something came back abnormal but my doctor said by doing it, if something were to be wrong they can monitor me a whole lot better and know how to treat me. I think also it gives me a peace of mind also. So for the NT came back normal, just waiting on lab work.

The hurricane should be hitting us tonight sometime so as of now we're all safe. Looks like it will bring lots of flooding... Uggh!! I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best!! Especially since our house is under contract and due to close in a few weeks! Hopefully this doesn't stop us!!

Thanks for all the thoughts!!

 

[Haleytivet]

Oh and lil spy!!! I LOVE little gummy!! The scan is adorable!! I'm gonna have I update y'all on my scan pics! Are y'all on facebook? I have linz, wishin, and giraffes.. Anybody else have facebooks? It's so much easier to post pics there vs here!

 

[wishnhoping]

Nats- Im so sorry....Im just speechless....its not fair

 

[linz143]

Nats, I am so sorry honey. Life can be so unfair to good people who deserve the world. My thoughts are with you and your little beany. If you need to take some time away, we will all understand and be here for you when you're ready. I can't imagine what you must be going through right now, but I do know it isn't easy.

xx

 

[LittleSpy]

Oh no, nats. I'm so sorry.

My really good friend who was due 9 days after me got a really bad report at her appointment yesterday. She was measuring less than 5 weeks (she should've been closer to 6.5). They saw a small sac and what they think was a fetal pole but no heartbeat. She's been bleeding for a couple of weeks and there was blood around the sac. She goes back in 2 weeks to be checked but her doctor pretty much just prepared her for a miscarriage.

I'm really upset for both of you.

Cris -- We're not doing genetic testing. We didn't do it with Maisie, either. We wouldn't abort anyway and I personally think the results are mainly needless worry. Of course I recognize it's a very personal decision and I can see how a different couple would want the screening. It' just not for us.

Haley -- You (and anyone else here) can search for me on fb as [email protected] -- I'm Julie. I'm also already friends with Cris, so you can find me that way, too.

 

[giraffes]

Nats, I don't know what to say, I'm so so sorry.

 

[nats77]

I just don't get it? I was so sure everything was ok! I haven't had pains, no bleeding and my boobs are still sore and bigger, they said the pregnancy sac had doubled in size but the baby just hadn't grown enough and it was to small to see a heart beat.
I keep thinking maybe it's just small? A slow starter? I know this is stupid of me to think like this, it's just that one last tiny bit of hope.
They have said if it doesn't pass naturally in the next two weeks then I have to go for another scan to check there's no change and they will have to do a op to remove it.
The thing is with the other mc's they all caused me pain right from the start and they passed naturally, this is so different to them, so confusing! If its over then I just want it over so I can grieve properly and try and get passed it, I hate this being in limbo and not knowing wtf is going on.
Sorry to rant on to you guys x c

 

[LittleSpy]

I'm sorry, Nats. I don't really know what to say.

I do have hope. I feel like there's always hope this early on unless you're bleeding heavily.

It's so unfair that you have to worry and be stuck in limbo. You said the exact same thing my other friend said -- that she just wants to move on if what she's afraid is happening is really happening. And I think you should rant away if you want.

 

[wishnhoping]

Nats- this is your safe place and you can ALWAYS come on here and share exactly how you feel....vent away. I would hate to be in limbo but I dont think you should give up hope either...

I am so sorry I dont know of anything useful to say that can make this more bearable. Just please know I am here if you need to talk

 

[linz143]

No sorries needed to us, Nats! We can all empathize with you, not knowing what's happening but wishing that either way, you could know exactly what's going on. Big hugs my dear. What is the exact date of the next scan?

 

[leia37]

Nats, we are here to listen to all rants. My first miscarriage was an obvious one due to heavy bleeding but my second was very similar to what sounds like is happening to you. Had early scan due to history and no heartbeat seen. made to wait the two weeks for another scan and told the pregnancy hadnt advanced. Insist on the scan in 2 weeks if you have no obvious signs of miscarriage. I regret now that i accepted it on that 2nd scan and allowed them to give me a suppository and end the pregnancy. I have read since about women waiting and insisting on another scan and getting the miracle heartbeat. ( i dont want to give you any false hope but i really wish i had insisted on another scan just to make sure). Big hugs Nats, we are all here anytime you need us xxxxx
