january 2015 rainbow babies

Good luck ladies- that is the worst feeling! I still keep expecting to see blood every time I go 'cause I've had bad cramping but thankfully have not (which could just be my progesterone suppl.). This morning I woke up nauseous, but I can't remember if that's a normal thing for me or not haha. However all other symptoms (usually waking up many times needing to pee, breast tenderness which has always been my telling sign) are gone- which has me nervous. Sure, it could come back in a few hours and have me uncomfortable again, but y'all know how it goes with disappearing symptoms after loss!

I hope your symptoms come back soon sc to let you know that your bean is fine xx

 

[cheezytrish]

I HATE when symptoms vanish - no matter how 'normal' it is. I hope you are all doing well -just preg. enough but not miserably sick.

Welcome to the new ladies - thanks for sharing your stories even though I'm sure it's been a tough go.

I was felling really sick this morning but not much the rest of the day... Only spotted a tiny amount... Tomorrow is likely to be the day which will tell me which way it will go- with my mc day 3 of spotting & it got heavier, whereas this once-a-day gunk carried on with DS for approx 5 days.

I'm praying it's good- & hoping it means the baby is nestling in for the long haul, like DS did. With the mc I didn't bleed until later, so maybe it didn't nestle in properly or there was no baby to do it. That's what I'm thinking anyway- until I know otherwise I'm taking this spotting as a good sign.

Any news from anyone else? Hoping to hear some good news...

Keeping fingers tightly crossed for everyone- what a rollercoaster :/ but we deserve our rainbows ladies

Nothing new here really. Sickness is pretty bad!

I had a spotting scare today, but it turned out to be a scrape on the outside due to vaginal dryness (a sometime symptom of my pregnancies). Still sent my blood pressure through the roof and I've been imagining (?) minor cramping ever since. I can't wait till my first scan on Tuesday.

Hello, everyone....just reading over the posts and the scares. This is a very nerve wracking time for us....I was going back over my previous posts from 2011 when I lost my last one...it's kind of like a diary on here. I go back and compare....I started bleeding off and on starting at 5 weeks. I am getting close to 6 weeks and no bleeding! Plus I have more symptoms! I feel a little more relaxed now...not much but a little. I hope everyone is having a good day!

 

[5_Year_Plan]

I do the same- I use the same app now as I did with both previous pregnancies & go back & compare. This one seems to be hoist the way of my successful first pregnancy so I'm feeling positive on the whole. Just hoping to see a heart beat on a scan soon so I can fully enjoy it rather than half expecting to find out there's no baby...

I've been fairly sick & fairly tired- back at work tomorrow after a week off so that should be interesting!! :/

Hope everyone else is doing well

Xxx

Could someone tell me how to post siggys? I have forgotten how. Nevermind...I got it!

So..my poor family. My worst symptom is that I'm ultra-emotional. We share a water-line with my parents house at the moment (long story) and as a result if someone over there has a shower or flushes to toilet, we have zero water. My sister was visiting them this weekend (family of 4)..so lots of load on our water system.

Anyhow...I started my shower and halfway through (fully soaped up, one leg shaved), the water suddenly goes cold then vanishes completely. I was cold, soapy and miserable when I called over. Typically I'd just laugh at crazy situations like this, but today it felt like a major tragedy. My mum keeps telling me to 'stop being emotional'...which is of course, basically impossible since I didn't choose to be this way.

Anyhow, that's been my worst emo-moment, minus crying over an episode of House where a baby was sick (didn't manage to finish watching that one).

Anyone else had any crazy moments?

 

[SCgirl]

Random nostalgic things will set me off- heard the theme song to reading rainbow and started crying! DH gets lots of laughs! (Any random thing or thought can cause it too... Crazy hormones)

Oh my god, symptoms have well and truly kicked in here a level of dizziness and light headedness that is making it hard to be at work. Added to that my DD woke me up 5 times last night because she was ill. I feel like the walking dead today.

Spoke to te bereavement midwife too to ask about scans etc and I will get a letter in the post from my consultant soon but who knows when. So I just have to sit tight and wait and try to not let it get the better of me. I'm still so terrified and still don't really have a clear testing plan in place (lots of options but I just don't know what to do).

I was 6 weeks on saturday so still very early days for me. I assume the scan will be around 8 weeks anyway, to check viability and dates and we can then discuss the testing. I'm going to give ARC a call around then too and talk it through with them.

God this is stressful. In a way I would like no symptoms so I don't get reminded of it all the time but I quite like how woozy I feel I know the hormones are doing something

Hope nobody minds me jumping in. I'm due on Jan 2nd, I think but dating scan isn't for another 3 weeks which feels a lifetime away right now.
I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks at Christmas 2012 and even though this pregnancy has been very different and I'm now 9 and a bit weeks I'm still terrified especially more so after feeling like I've lost all my symptoms. My nausea was appalling but I think I found it reassuring but since Friday evening it's pretty much disappeared. I still think I'm a hormonal nightmare though which I'm hoping is a good sign. I never thought I'd go to bed wishing I'd wake up feeling sick but I do. Anyway, I feel the need to vent and I hope all you ladies are doing well - or not - if that makes sense?! Hurrah for feeling sick and awful I say!

 

[5_Year_Plan]

I'm not as emotional this pg as I was with my mc- I was like the hormonal botch from hell, snapping at people for no reason & crying at stupid things. Really had to try hard to keep my tongue in check at work! :/

This time I'm much more chilled & not been affected really.

The sickness has massively caught up with me this week- omg I feel nauseous pretty much all the time! Eating helps for like a minute. If I leave it too long, or try to do anything while in that state I wretch. No sick yet but I feel it's only a matter of time!! I think the actual sickness started about 12 weeks last time (just when I thought it would get better!!) :/

Had a major scare this morning....I had some bright orange spotting...very, very slight....only when I wiped tmi, sorry....happened maybe 3 times....but after the m/c it scared me.....I'm calmer now, but still. Trying to just stay calm.

 

[cheezytrish]

If you have MCed before, you have every reasonable right to ask for a reassurance scan - if it would help. I think, since this is try #4 for me, if there's even a teeny drop, I'm going postal and calling the EPU.

 

[mamaxs4]

Could they see anything at 6 weeks? I would rather not have one if they are just going to tell me they can't see it...I went through that with my last pregnancy. They couldn't see the baby till nine weeks. I have had early scans before....I feel ok right now....I think I'm going to take it easy right now.

My pic is from 6w0d. I almost freaked out at first during the u/s, because I thought it was a big sac with nothing in it, but she zoomed in and showed us the baby- which is my pic right now. We also saw and heard the heartbeat!

I've been having some bad cramping off and on today- it has me very worried. thankfully i've seen no blood (although that could just be progesterone). I have a scan on Thursday, and don't know if I want to see what's going on in there....

My profile picture is 6+3.
If your worried I would contact EPAU.

I had a little bit more spotting...I got scared and went the ER...the doc examined me but did not do an ultrasound. He said he didn't see any bleeding....I ran out of minutes on my phone and can't call my dr. I don't think they'll be happy I went. I just don't think they understand just how scared I am of hemorrhaging again. I really hope this baby is sticky...
