[honey08]

aww fab pic SJK and loopylew fab all went great for u aswell

as for me, well i got doppler today,and i know it says from 12wk,but lots hear it earlier and lots heat HB late aswell, i was trying for ages, and i "think" i heard a few fast,loud,thuding beats,but then it went, so if it was maybe baby went somewhere eles ! but tell u wot didnt think it wud be this hard ! surley gets easier as time goes on cos the heart b bigger !!
i was feeling ok till i came on ere and started readin bout mmc, i know that horror only2well,my first pregnancy ended this way in march this yr and im terrified ladies uknow, reading bout dissapearing syptoms and thought,,,omg my boobs aint been as sore as usuall, and bout 15min ago feel a little cramping, unless it with worry or strecthing so scared of going to 12wk scan now unkow, does it happen after seeing HB at 8wk? aww ladies, if this happened to us again there wuddnt b no more ttc for us uknow, i just cudnt risk the chance of mmc/mc again dont know wot to do,will i feel reassured after 12wk even ? yes i will got doppler !! sry for going on like this ladies but its all cum bk to me,reading it happen to someone eles

 

[wishingonastar]

lovely scan sjk so lucky for you to get one in before crimbo too!

honey - seriously i understand what you're going through...i haven't had a mmc myself but having read how it can happen it has scared the life out of me cos i haven't wanted to get too excited til scan done and all i kept thinking was 'we're gonna announce it to everyone christmas day then get scan done next tue and find baby hasn't got heartbeat' it's my absolute worst nightmare at the mo hence me getting doppler! i now feel reassured to announce it safely thank god!

from what i understand with mmc from the reading i've done, the baby seems to die very early (4-6 weeks) but body carries on thinking its pregnant and the only way its picked up is at first scan which tends to happen between 12-16 weeks. if these ladies had a scan earlier their miscarriage would be picked up earlier. the fact that you had a scan at 8 weeks and baby had heartbeat should mean baby is ok. And i know you had problems initially finding beat on doppler but you gotta remember your baby is teeny tiny and they often hide behind your pubic bone at this stage which makes it even harder!

just make sure you do it when you haven't been to toilet for at least hour and half if not longer cos then if bladders full it pushes uterus up and makes baby easier to find and lay flat on your back

[honey08]

yeah, thanks hun, i understand ur fears aswell uknow, i never knew bout mmc till i had one, it b as scary for u cos uv read bout them aswell....really feel for susan,lyns and others uknow, brings it all bk like yday


OMG....... ITS XMAS EVE! ! ! !

 

[wishingonastar]

i know i really feel for them... i explained what it was to OH cos he didn't understand why i was so scared but now he does...might sound strange but if i were to miscarry with bleeding i could cope with that but getting to your first scan and finding out that way is too cruel

but enough feeling sad...we have to be positive - especially as it's CRIMBO TOMORROW!!!!!!!!

i'm now cooking dinner for 10 peeps (as my dad was gonna do it but isn't well). i've now gotta spend today tidying my whole house, hiding baby stuff thats randomly around, putting tree up and starting the mass cooking! scary but fun

 

[Elliebank]

I know what you mean about missed miscarriage ladies, I am so scared that it will happen to me, especially cos I haven't had an earlier scan. I am trying to think positively though, and keep talking to my tummy cos I'm sure there's an ickle baby swimming around in there!!

Wishingonastar sounds like you have a lot to do today!! I'm working today (but at home so not too bad) & we're going my Aunty's tomorrow for Christmas dinner. We've also got ingredients in for a fry up in the morning, yum!

 

[shelleylu]

Morning lovelies!!

ITS CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting???!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im excited anyway

Oh Honey, dont be scared sweetie. I have had a MMC too at 10weeks, and finding out late with no symptoms was awful. It does bring back horrible memories listening to others go through the same ordeal. I feel for them and thier partners so much. And it is worse if you havent bled or had any problems because you feel so cheated. BUT. Its not going to happen to us again - OK?! We have healthy happy babies swimming quite contently around (even if you cant quite hear them!) - BTW I have decided to not buy the doppler as Id be on it 24-7 lol. We nee some PMA back in the room!!!

Lets all enjoy the fact we cant drink over the festive period by eating lots of chocolates, triffle, sauasage rolls and anything else you can get your hands on!!!

BRING ON SANTA AND KEEP SMILING!!!!!!!!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
