So sorry to hear your sad news lauren

want2bmamma - great news about your scan honey! Did the dates match with what you were thinking? You must be relieved that all went well

Croydongirl - how are you feeling today? These symptoms can be so worrying can't they? I too have had losses and these first few weeks are so difficult. We just have to take one day at a time. Two more sleeps until your appointment...

AFM - I'm good. Just counting the days until my GP appointment next Tuesday and hoping she will book me in at the EPU. I would love a scan before NY if possible. We are supposed to be spending it with two other couples - one of which we are very good friends with and know we are TTC and that we have had losses. The other couple are expecting too about 16 weeks). It is going to be so obvious that I'm pregnant as I won't be drinking. I would love to have had a scan by then as I will be asked and I would just feel much more confident admitting that we are pregnant if I had seen a heartbeat. FX'd I can get in before then.

If not, I'm considering a private scan but I'm not sure if OH will go with it....!

Lauren- really sorry for your loss hun. xx

Well I had first doc appointment today ad she said that you dont always get a 12 week scan it depends on the hospital and midwives etc......I am gutted!! Anyone know if you can get private scans etc??? What if I am having twins it seems mad not to scan before 20 weeks in my opinion!!! xx

 

[Funkifairy]

I've got my first proper scan tomorrow Can't wait!

 

[muddles]

Where are you based hon? Are you in the UK? If so, surely that is not right?! If they won't scan you, you can go private. There are a number of places that do it. Babybond for example have places up and down the country and they offer a dating scan at 10-16 weeks. If you google them they have all the information on their website and you can even book on there. It seems odd that they would not scan you though. Do they not check nuchal measurements and things?

I've got my first proper scan tomorrow Can't wait!

Be sure to let us know how you get on!

Lauren: So sorry for your loss. Sending you a virtual hug!

Well, I just got back from my scan. We saw the bean's heartbeat and the MD said everything looked very good. She put me at 6 weeks 3 days with a due date of Aug. 3rd! I feel a little better now, but I know I am still not out of the woods yet, but am much more positive now. Thanks for the kind words ladies.

How's everyone else been feeling?

aww so exciting!!! Glad baby looks good and healthy.
What was your EDD before you went to the doctor? just curious because i am 7 weeks 3 days and i have calculated my EDD to be july 27... i have my scan in a week so we will see if that changes.

Thanks! My EDD changed by two days, from Aug 5th to Aug 3rd. THey did measurements of the gestational sac and crown to rump length, these measures indicated that the bean was at the development of a 7w to 6w 5 day bean.

I am feeling very sick, soo tired, its not like me. I feel very nauseous, dizzy and just really crappy. I can barely make it through the grocery store or do housework. I am worried I never had this with my other 2 kids. It is causing me to have anxiety attacts.

I also have no energy. I have been trying to clean the house for 4 days and I keep getting sidetracked or sitting down. Maybe it is because I also have had no caffiene since BFP. I am so tempted to have a cup of coffee because I know one cup is ok...but if anything happened I would blame it on that and regret it. I sent my DH to grocery because I was too lazy and didn't want to smell all of those foods. Of course he came home with a million different sweets and nothing with substance...men

I am the one that has to do the shopping because my dh is clueless when it comes to domestic things. I just hope I can get back to myself soon.

 

[TTCinBC]

Well, I know it's a bit silly, BUT since everyone else has been doing digital tests and I haven't done one at all, I went and got one!

 

[TTCinBC]

Shopping? Oh god, I was out for a total of an hour this morning between dropping my DD off and going to the store and I'm pooped! Going to relax for a few hours before I have to go back out again!

 

[struth]

Great to see the digi TTCinBC!!

Hi ladies! Sorry I haven't been on lately. I've actually been having some problems and it's just been crazy. I started spotting on wednesday then I had a full, heavy red blood flow on sunday with one large clot & cramps like af but still not as intense. It was the scariest moment of my life and I'm still very scared. BUT u/s on sunday showed a little yolk sac and that wasn't there on wednesday so it shows baby is growing. Levels were still good too. Went to the dr yesterday and he said I'm no longer actively bleeding he could just see old blood and my cervix is still closed so this is all good news. I have an u/s set up for next week but that is SO far away and as of now it's all just prayers and good thoughts. I was unbelievably nauseous and slept from 7pm to 11am today so I'm really hoping those are good news!! My bb's don't hurt as much though and that's got me worried. I hope everyone is doing good

Oh hun, that is scary! So glad that baby seems to be okay though! I know that some women who don't actually know they are pregnant(or ever ones who do) can get what they assume is a period. Wonder if that's what you experienced? Think I saw someone call it breakthrough bleeding.

My breasts don't hurt as much either, but it's normal for symptoms to come and go the first trimester. I wouldn't worry too much about the breasts. Just get lots of rest and keep your feet up and don't do too much.

I'm so sorry to hear peoples sad news, i know how hard it is going through a mc and wish the best of luck in their future whatever it may be.

Lots of people are getting early scans, they can be so re-assuring especially if you have lack of symptoms or spotting.
personally i was thinking of going begging for one but i havent had any cause for concern and feel a bit like i would be wasting time?
i have got uba sore boobs now and feeling sick and tired especially in the pm.
sounds about right!
just told my sister she is going to be an autie- she is very shocked but happy aswell as she doesnt plan to have kids but will spoil mine rotten!

How is everyone? have you felt ready to share your news to soon to be auntes/ uncles?

 

[buttons1]

I am finding it harder to keep it a secret this time I'd like to tell my mum might do it at Christmas

 

[TTCinBC]

We've already told our family and a few select friends as well. Someone had said it pretty well on here. The people we told we are pregnant are the same people we would tell if something went wrong.

 

[MrsMoo72]

Im the same, I wanted support if it all goes horribly wng again and I didnt want to be telling my folks only the bad news. Ive also had to tell work coz of the nature of my job but they are fantastic girls and also...I can't keep a secret hehe!!
