I'm so sorry to hear that, sweet. Crossing my fingers for you!

Haven't been in this thread fr a while, I've been in a bit of a tailspin since my scan on Friday, did not go well.

At first I was elated when I saw a little flickering blob on he screen and a good yolk sac, but then she told me the baby was measuring two weeks behind and the fetal heart rate was slow, 99 and then 94! She said for 8 weeks she likes to see a heart rate in the 140s and as I was measuring behind, for 6 weeks in the 110-130 range. I've never had an early scan before so I have nothing to compare it to. IM convinced my dates are not off and she said to go back in a weeks time to see what's happening, she said its a 50/50 chance either way and to hold tight. So, yeah, that's where I'm at right now. Then she gave me the whole miscarriage shpeel...and told me if I start soaking through pads before my scan, to go to the ER. Hubby and I left in a daze with a picture of what I assume will be an angel baby by next Friday.

Sorry to hear this. Sending you good vibes and hoping all is good at your next scan . xx

Don't give up hope yet! Things can turn around and have done for many people on this forum. I hope you're feeling okay and that things improve. Please let us know how you go. I'll be thinking of you

Oh sweet dot...how aweful! I don't know why they can't tell you the cases that have turned round for the better as well as the sad ones...there is always cases that have come good...at our first scan the heart beat was only 107 and that was at least 4 weeks ago and everything as far as I am aware is ok down there.
On a brighter note, I got a phone call today from the hospital... they've booked me in for my first appointment in a couple of weeks! The lady on the phone was super friendly so it made my day!

So sorry praying your little bean is a sticky one!! Try not to give up hope yet

 

[SLCMommy]

sweetdot - I'm so sorry for the scary news! But remember...stranger things have happened! Until there is no heartbeat or cramping/heavy bleeding... You still have a viable pregnancy. Keep us updated hun. xx

 

[AmyB1978]

Sweetdot,
I am so sorry you are going through this. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[anna1986]

So sorry sweetdot. Hoping all works out for the best and baby has a nice strong hb next time x

 

[sharnw]

sweetdot, I hope your little one is nice and strong in there xxx

 

[Ocean breeze]

Scan was great, such a relief
Saw bubba and the yolk sack and a nice strong flickering heart

Congratulations Kraftykoala, so pleased it went well for you

thats great! i see your in devon. im in cornwall. can i ask how you got your scan early? Im desperate for one after a mc last year. symptoms are strong but impatient to see bean

Hi, I booked a private scan as I'd had some bleeding which freaked me out & I didn't feel I could stay strong enough to wait til 12wks. I also had a mc last year so it's been pretty agonising. I thought when I called the midwife that they may offer an early nhs scan but she was not concerned at all & said to wait til 12wks. I was on leave from work last week & had spending money saved but because I wasn't up for doing much else I spent it on the scan. It was £50 & the best I've ever spent! I found the ultrasound place by searching online. Good luck with whatever you decide, great sign that your symptoms are strong


SWEEDOT - sending LOTS of positive thoughts your way!! I hope you're able to rest up a bit & have someone supporting you xxx

 

[Ocean breeze]

Just to update, I called the Doctor's office just now and they want to make sure I don't have a UTI so they are going to have me come in this afternoon and be seen. I am just hoping my little bean is okay.

Hi Amy, I hope your doctor's appointment went ok & you're feeling better x

My appointment went really well. They aren't sure if I have a UTI but definitely think it is bladder related. The dipstick they did in the office was negative for bacteria but they are sending it off for a 48 hour culture to be sure. It is either the start of a UTI or just an irritated bladder. When she did an internal and put some pressure on my bladder I did feel some discomfort.

She felt my uterus and it felt a good size, my cervix was closed and showed no signs of bleeding/etc, and everything checked out well.

Baby was doing great... I got to hear it's heartbeat for the first time! It was a strong/healthy 172. Hearing that heartbeat was just amazing... I got to see it on an ultrasound at 7 weeks but had yet to hear it.

Thanks for asking!

ladies i'm so worried, i've had a headache for 3 days and all of those days i took tylenol, today i had dark urine wich i know can be a sign of too much medication, i'm so worried i've harmed LO, my breasts are no longer sore either

 

[wanting2010]

Have you been drinking plenty of water? You may be getting dehydrated which would make your urine darker. Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy, so I really don't think you've done anything to hurt your baby hon. As for the sore breasts, mine have come and gone the entire first trimester. You're getting to the point where your placenta may be starting to take over, so that might explain it too.

 

[skeet9924]

Heaven- Tylenol is supposed to be perfectly safe.. As long as u don't go over recommended dose.. Dark urine could mean you are dehydrated.. Try adding more liquids to your diet.

Afm: I had ob appt today.. Got to hear hb at 166!! Dr had a hard time finding it. She had to use us machine to find baby..she said baby is very active and moves away from the machine every time she gets it

 

[heaveneats]

I doubt I went over the recommended dose I don't think I took more than 4 pills in one day, I may be dehydrated as I was puking all day yesterday, just hoping baby is ok

 

[skeet9924]

Well puking unfortunately is a good sign.. I'm sure the baby is okay.. If it gets to the point that you can't keep water down I'd go to the hospital, it's very dangerous to get dehydrated.. My ob told me if I wasn't keeping water down to go in right away.
