Hi everyone

Just need to get my thoughts out there. At this stage in my last pg, 10wk and 3 days, I went for an emergency scan and they discovered the baby had stopped growing at what they thought was 5/6 weeks (in fact it was 8 weeks after the D&C).

I guess I feel a bit low and wondering whether the baby now is alive and well or also mmc. Positives are that I am still feeling like crap (and was sick this morning after a coughing fit) and I am a bit nonplussed as to my sudden belly growth - is it the start of a bump, is it bloating, how does one know?! :wacko: Negatives are you just don't know whether it has mmc or not and you have to go with the flow. Can't sleep at night due to anxiety and doesn't help that I have a week off work (I'm a workaholic and distract myself). :blush:

Going to see my sis in London on Thurs who's 5 months preggers and will tell her my incredible news for the first time. She has been amazing and inspired me with confidence and positivity in myself - so I can't wait to see her reaction :kiss:...and get her advice!

Hugs to everyone! xx:hugs:
 
HI
Havent been on for a while- so tired and sick plus I was obsessing too much. I know exactly how u feel and we r exactly the same stage! I just keep thinking that I feel so rough it must be ok. I had a scan at 6 weeks and 7 weeks and there was growth and a heartbeat both times but i am soo worried- not much help to you but thought it might help not to be the omly one- I am also off work too!! I have a scan on thurs so I guess i will know then. we will both be fine I am sure hang on in there xxx
 
Aw i know exactly how you feel...:hugs: in 8 days time i have a follow up scan, it was at that scan in my last pregnancy that we were told there wasn't a heartbeat and not enough growth :cry:.

You will be fine, fantastic to hear that your symptoms are so strong! Also, try to enjoy your week off, you lucky thing! Enjoy the trip to your sisters xxx
 
Just sending you all positive thoughts and:hugs:
Pregnancy is a worrying enough time without having to endure a MMC. I do feel the innocence of it all had been tarnished and I'm sure I'll feel the same way too. Keep strong and enjoy seeing your sister :flower:
Hugs and sticky :dust: to ALL of you
XxX
 
i am 2 days past my last mmc date and feeling great about things, i am soo sick, have such strong symptoms but i also feel so positive about things. a part of me is tempted to request another early scan, but i also had a mmc at 11 weeks, so where would it end.

you have a great attitude and hopefully your visit will help pass the time sooner. that is what i have a problem with at the minute, i can't put my days in and i am so distracted in work, can't wait to tell people so they will excuse my behaviour.
 
I know exactly what you mean! In my first pregnancy I had a scan at 6 weeks 5 days and saw a heart beat then found out about the MMC at 11 weeks. This time I went in at 6 weeks 4 days and everything was perfect and now I have a scan on Thursday which is just over 11 weeks. Way too similar! It is truly scary not knowing what is going on. I also have pretty bad morning sickness still and last time I did not when I went for my scan. I sincerely hope both of us will have some relief soon. Also, I know what you mean about the baby bump! I would swear I have one but I also have some chub on account of the two pregnancies back to back! How can I tell? It is not like my tummy is hard and round. Just pouchy and getting too big too fast for fat I think. How DO you tell?!!
 
Hi, I've been there before. You're having all good symptoms and even if it's bloating, it's still good. I only had the smallest podge at 10 weeks, but just found that I couldn't suck it all the way in like I could before.
 
I just wanted to send you some :hugs: as i could have written a very similar post myself.

I'm having a hard time believing this pregnancy is "for real" at the minute too. Our mmc was finally 'diagnosed' at 8+6 last time and i had an ERPC the next day so already i am beyond that stage but i can't help worrying that the next time i go for a scan it will be bad news. It's such a strange place to be, excited and positive one minute, anxious and depressed the next.

I hope your visit with your sister will help you feel better about things :thumbup:
 
Hi everyone!
Thanks for all your amazing replies!! I had my letter from the hospital this morning, my NT screening and dating scan is on the 11th April when I will be 12w+2 :thumbup:

However - it made me feel incredibly nervous and sick...I am terrified of going in and having the news that our baby had not developed. Anyway - my OH is so positive and good - he tells me not to worry, he thinks it will all be fine. I do love him for being like that :blush:

Leaving for London in 2 hrs and it will be such a relief to tell my sister, maybe she can give me an insight as to what it feels like to reach 12wks? I am still massively bloated and my boobs are so incredibly sore. MS has now properly cleared up (hoping this is not a bad sign) although the constant hunger pangs make me feel nauseous. I have a bag packed with snacks for the 3 hr train journey in- fruit, nuts and rice cakes! :haha:

Have a great weekend everyone and stay positive, I will try my best! :kiss:

Hi Quirk
I think you're right. The day before my emergency scan my stomach was totally flat (not like washboard or anything, lol!) but not like it is now. Also all my symptons were gone including the sore boobs. If they still feel that way next friday, and I still got my podge - then I think I can be positive!

:hugs:
 
Congrats on making this far hun! I know you are worried. I just had my 12 week scan and was so afraid I'd go in there and get bad news, that something had gone wrong. But things were perfect! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Have a great time with your sister!
