July 2014 rainbows :)

I hope everything's fine. You may of ovulated late, bodies are a strange thing.

I've heard some people measuring behind and then at next scan the baby is where they should be.

When's your next appointment?

I've been feeling really anxious the past few days. I'm trying not to get attached to baby yet. I just don't have good feelings about this pregnancy. Maybe it's my subconscious trying to not get my hopes up.
I just don't think it will end well.

I've just been feeling a bit down really, kind of like I've accepted what I think the outcome will be.

I'll be making a docs appointment on Monday, so I really hope I'll get an 8 week scan. I'd rather know now if something's not right.

All my symptoms are still going strong though.

Im sorry your feeling so down, why do you have such a negative feeling?

Im sorry your feeling so down, why do you have such a negative feeling?

I honestly don't know. I think it's just because last time I didn't think I'd have a mc. It was one of those things where you hear it happens to others, but don't expect it to happen to you.
So this time I'm very aware it could happen to me, and to save the heartbreak I had last time, I just convince myself this pregnancy won't last.

I know it's awful to be so negative, maybe it's my hormones messing with me as I've been very emotional the past few days

I just can't help it.

Loup, i agree with wannanewbaby-- the fact you got a HB is fantastic and liklihood of mc drops drastically if you get a HB so congrats!!

sedgeez-- I completely understand where you are coming from, I too don't want to allow myself to accept the reality that i may have a baby in about 8 months. mc is such an awful blow to confidence. and whether we mc or not, the hormones are still flowing strong which doesnt help the mental state.. at least for me

hope you feel better, i can't wait til we're all into our 2nd trimesters and can finally relax a bit

I understand what you mean i constanly think that my symptoms arent strong enough so there must be something wrong but everyone says relax and believe me i know its gard but we got to try and i know what you mean about emotions i snapped today

 

[LaughOutLoud]

Definitely cant wait till in second tri - just want to be out of the woods already.

Loup89 - im sure everything will be well with baby. Ive also read that they tend to catch up later for next scans but a good heartbeat is brilliant

 

[sedgeez]

Sorry to keep bombarding you ladies with test photos.

I was going to by a digi test but the shop sold out

So I saw these dip tests for £1 for a twin pack. I thought, I might aswell, a test is a test after all

This is the pic. It says to read after 5 mins but the line came up instantly! (Line on the left). It's also darker than the control line.

I'm happy with this as it was such a dark line.

Still trying not to get my hopes up too much but this has cheered me up a bit

 

[Munchkin30]

Sedgeez that line can't get much stronger . For heavens sake STOP TESTING (says me who has now done 11 )

 

[wannanewbaby]

I only did 4 im dying to test more thinking of buying some dollar ones i really want a clearblue with week estimator might just have to get some

That def looks great though it would cheere up as well

 

[dairymomma]

Sedgeeze-I was feeling much like you are yesterday. Just hang in there. Can you schedule an early ultrasound?

Munchkin-I've got you beat...I did 16 hpts-5 FRERs, 8 cheapies, and 3 digis...And that doesn't even count the 4 I did the week before I got my BFP...

Loup-The fact that there was a hb is amazing! And really those early measurements can be SO off. My sis measures a week (or more) off her entire pregnancies but still goes to term and hasn't gone over her lmp due date. I've measured small for both my full-term pregnancies. It depends on implantation, where the baby is in the uterus, how precise the ultrasound machine is, and even who is doing the scan. I've had techs say if I came back later that day, they'd probably get a whole new set of measurements and not to trust early measurements until after (at least) 7 weeks.

As for me, I went in thinking Bad news Bad news...Instead I got (drumroll please) "Baby measures 6+1 and hb 146".

 

[wannanewbaby]

Thats great!! 2 promising ultrasoumds in 1 day we are onto a great start fpr the july rainbows!!

 

[swampmaiden]

Thats great dairymomma!!

I've still got 12 agonizing days to go before my 8 week scan, argh lol

 

[dairymomma]

Come tomorrow, I'll probably be in the same boat Swampmaiden. When my reg dr calls, I'm going to tell her that I'm switching to another primary care doctor because it's too hard to drive the 60 miles one way to see her and that I'm going to see the OB specialist for this pregnancy. Don't need a negative doctor when I'm already worried. (I'm actually considered high risk now anyway.) And then when I call the OB for my first appt, I'm requesting scans at 8-9 weeks and again at 14 weeks (if he won't schedule every other week u/s). I feel like I'll be better able to relax if I get those. I typically miscarry between 7-9+4 so an ultrasound then would make me feel better knowing everything is alright. And my 2nd tri loss was at 14 weeks so I have a feeling I'm going to NEED that one...

But for today I'm floating. Bubs is okay and has a nice strong hb...Whew...

 

[wannanewbaby]

My bloating tonight is INSANE i have got to look several months pregnant!!

 

[celine]

Dairy thats great news! Urgh 6 more days til my scan

 

[Elephant13]

Me! I had an ectopic in July and another loss on 29th sept at 5wks. I've just had my 6 week reassuarance scan today. Squishy was in the right place, measured bang on 6+1 and had a lovely strong heartbeat

I'm due 6th July

Hi Ladies,
I hope you are all well. I posted on here a while ago and have been a bit quiet on here since, I now feel the time is right to re join you. Lady Luck your post stood out to me as I am also due same day as you!
I hope you all don't mind me joining your thread! A little bit about me, I had an ectopic in Nov last year, resulted in a ruptured tube and then removal of that tube. I waited the 3 months and decided to try again and fell pregnant in March this year. I had a scan at 7 weeks where we saw baby with hheartbeat in the right place so was relieved that there were no problems with that remaining tube. I was told then at the scan that the baby was not measuring the right size for 7 weeks it was in fact measuring 4-5 and that I most probably got my dates wrong. I knew full well that I had not got my dates wrong. There was no way I could be 4 weeks pregnant when 3 weeks previous I had missed my period. I knew then that something may not be quite right and sure enough it wasn't. I had a natural mc 2 weeks after but had symptoms of a miscarriage literally the evening of my scan. I was told then that I could be having a threatened mc and so those 2 weeks were an awful wait. I decided i would then wait to try again and get myself in good health which i had not done after the ectopic. I relaxed a little took a holiday and we had agreed to try again in the new year. Some how though without even discussing it we had a few nights were we wasn't particularly careful and a few weeks ago i found out i was pregnant! This was a really happy moment for me as i had not been watching monthly or doing early tests ive just gone with it and thought what will be will be. I'm hoping this relaxed attitude has helped me outa bit! I've had aches and pains and sickness which only seemed to last a week or 2 and I've got incredibly sore chest but all of these things were missing from previous pregnancies. I am now 7 weeks +4 by my own calculations and i still haven't seen my gp. I have decided i wont be going for an early scan and will wait till my 12 week. I know all the symptoms should anything go wrong and the hospital ere not much help to me at all in my previous exp and so i am just waiting it out. Only me & my partner know and i'm hoping when i book an app with my gp next week i may get a scan before xmas so am hoping to tell people xmas day. Sorry for the esaay ladies I've not had anyone to share anything with (the oh is great but theres only so much he can take in an evening lol) I hope you are all keeping well and i will keep everything crossed for you all for healthy bambinos!!!!!! Lots of love xxx

 

[wannanewbaby]

Elephant congratulations thats great you got your bfp when relaxed i hope your scan at 12 weeks is perfect!!

 

[Elephant13]

Thank you very much! I hope everyone else is feeling ok right now & are enjoying their bumps as much as they can at these early stages! Its a long old wait that's for sure! Does anyone else sometimes envy others who get pregnant without complications and just tell the world the minute they know?! I kind of feel that the excitement edge is taken off a bit because you're worried it may all be too good to be true! x

 

[Munchkin30]

Congrats Elephant, so pleased you seem quite relaxed and aren't going for the early scans. It must be a weight off your mind. You deserve some fabulous news at your 12 week scan x

 

[wannanewbaby]

I def agree its hard for me to really enjoy it cause im so terrified the second i do it will be over i am enjoying my baby bump the best i can since theres no bump yet lol but i cant seem to keep my hands off my belly anyway lol we are guilty of telling everyone as soon as we foumd out but it took is 20 cycles to get another bfp so i couldnt help but scream it out loud
