March Mama's! 2012 :) - 33 pink , 24 blue and 17 yellow bumps! 33 Babies!!

[Luv_My_Bichon]

I'm just back from the out of hours doctors. I had a nap earlier this evening but when I got up I was spotting. Not a lot but more than I was at 5 weeks-brown and clots, like the start of a period. So I called the out of hours service and they advised that I go and see the dr at the hospital.

Anyway he checked me over and booked me in for a scan on Tuesday. Told me to rest, drink fluids and if the bleeding got worse to head to A&E. It's going to be a long wait until Tuesday

Sorry not been around on this thread for a couple of days for one reason and another but just seen this Struth and wanted to wish you luck with your scan. Let me know how you get on, I really appreciate all the help you've been giving me on the other threads

 

[Babydance]

All the best today Struth, will be thinking of you! xxx

NEWFIELADY - I'm chuft to bits for you. I bet it was such a relief to see a little flutter. YEA!!!!!!!

STRUTH - Good luck with your scan this morning. I'm thinking of you, and keeping everything crossed.

LUV MY BICHON - How are you feeling? Anything to report? I hope you are ok. x

Well, my midwife called last night finally, and she seemed lovely. She wanted to book me in for my dating scan at the end of August, but I have asked her not to do anything at least until after I have had my scan tomorrow. I would hate to get a letter through in a couple of days for a scan if I find out there is nothing there. I feel a bit panicked, because although I have symptoms, I know that firsttimer had symptoms with her last pregnancy, but it didn't work out. I think I will relax a whole lot more after tomorrow.

We also talked about me joing slimming world too to try and keep my weight gain under control. Trouble is the class is tonight, and I don't know if I'm ready or not. If I don't go though, I know I will keep making excuses until it is too late to do anything about it.

Struth - HUGE good luck for todays scan, can't wait to hear ur news

luv-my-bichon isn't ur scan tomo? I'm delivering training all day tomo so if so a good luck to u as well Hun xx

I wud be literally covered in sweat ALL the time. I had no nausea though. My boobs were so painful that I was nearly crying. So it just wasn't normal. Xx try not to panic xx

Being a bit naughty and logging in from work -

firsttimer, my scan is now back to Monday 8th @ 9.30am

I was originally to be scanned on Monday but after quite a lot of brown gunk on Sunday and some stuff coming out in the bath (also brown) I panicked and phoned the EPU yesterday. The usual lady was off and the one I got was less than sympathetic and told me...

"Well if you're going to miscarry, you're going to miscarry and there's nothing you can do"

I know that !! But she could have put it a bit more pleasant esp as I've already had a mmc which is making this so much worse.

She booked me for a scan tomorrow at 11am but after getting off the phone I thought, I know me, I'll still worry cos last time I had a scan at 6 and a half weeks and the baby was fine but a couple of days later it died and I didn't know.

So I thought I'm better waiting until Monday for a more definative result and get me psat the point where I lost last time. If they scan me tomorrow I'll spend until my dating my scan worrying (assuming of curse everything was fine).

Left 3 messages yesterday and she never came back to me but Hallelujah the nice one phoned me this morning and explained that when our vagina's clear out the old blood is mixed with CM to make a "mucky gunk", lol! Which is what I would describe this to be.

So I'm going on Monday again - hopefully all will be well.

Loolindley don't panic too much about symptoms/no symptoms - we're all different and each pg is different. So far this one is very different to my last one as the discharge is brown not pink and I have no sickness yet whatsoever. Sending you hugs

Hope Struth is ok

x

 

[firsttimer1]

Ur brown gunk sounds just like mine so we can worry together I think you've made the right decision about waiting for ur scan Hun xx wish I had another scan before the 12 week one! Getting greedy lol

Hellooo ladies! I am now 8+2 weeks pregnant I've caught a cold, which really doesn't help this queasiness! I've hardly slept as I can no longer get comfy i'm so used to lying on my stomach and now when I do, I just get really bad stomach cramps! my stomach keeps churning even when i've eaten loads! I'm registering with a midwife on saturday!!!! I'm super excited! although I wish i could go one day without being sick and having a stuffy nose and not being so tired I feel like i'm getting bigger by the day but it's just bloat! But I keep getting worried thinking it's twins!!! I feel as if I can feel something moving in my belly but I know it's just me wishing time to go faster! for all those first times!

 

[firsttimer1]

Congrats on being in the 8th week! : Wow two months pregnant

 

[loolindley]

Congratulations Kafalaf. Happy and healthy 9 months. x

I keep worrying about how I am sleeping. I read that you are best on your left hand side, but either side is ok. Trouble is I keep waking up on my back, or my tummy, and then I start panicing because I don't know if I am doing any damage!

I know I am probably worrying far too much, but it's so hard to know whats ok!

 

[firsttimer1]

I'm a tummy sleeper, I dont think it will do harm. At some pointbour tummies will physically stop us tummy sleeping anyway

 

[MsCrow]

Hellooo ladies! I am now 8+2 weeks pregnant I've caught a cold, which really doesn't help this queasiness!

Welcome I have a constant cold atm and today a sore throat, don't know what to do!

I sneaked on from work, wondering if there is news of Struth.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Luv_My_Bichon, I hope the discharge stops. What an unsympathetic nurse.

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I think they just suggest you sleep on your side once your belly gets big. This is because when you lie on your back your baby is pushing on your organs and can get pretty painful... so they suggest sleeping on your side to relieve the pressure. I think at our stages sleeping on your back on stomach is prefect fine. But I am not a doctor so don't quote me on it haha.

On another note... morning sickness has officially hit me! I been feeling pretty crappy for the last few days. Nausea can hit me at anytime and is mostly bad in the morning and then starts again by late afternoon. I am trying to find foods to eat but nothing is appealing to me, as I can't handle most smells. I am eating bland foods and just snacking on plain soda crackers, which seems to help a bit. I haven't thrown up yet but at times I feel like I might, yuck. How is everyone else dealing with this?

 

[struth]

I have just logged on and am so touched by all your ladies wishing me luck and thinking about me.

I'm afraid, however, that it is not good news from me. I wish I could tell you otherwise (and I hate posting bad news on here - so sorry). Basically, the foetal pole measured 6w0d (when it should be 7w5d) and the heart beat was so so slow (they didn''t give me a figure but it looked like about one beat per second or so). I am to go again for a follow up scan next Tuesday but both the sonographer and the nurse I spoke with said it is not looking good and I should expect the worst.

Luv_My_Bichon - please don't let this add to your worries. I know we were going through something similar. However, everyone I spoke to about it (Dr, GP, nurse, sonographer) said that it was most likely nothing to worry about. I think we were all surprised by the scan results. I'm not going to say not to worry (as I know that is impossible) but the chances are that everything will work out for you x x

I hope that I have not worried anyone too much with this outcome - I wouldn't have posted it but there were lots of you asking and I didn't want to leave you hanging.

I would love to remain hopeful and will of course spend the week hoping for a positive outcome but I have to accept that the likely outcome is not good. I will keep you all posted though x

 

[redsox]

Struth,

I am so sorry to hear you didn't get unequivocally great news. I will remain very hopeful though that things pick up and they just realize later on you are just earlier than they had originally thought and it all works out.

You are very considerate to be so thoughtful of worrying others when you have this situation on your plate.

I'll be praying for a positive outcome - I hope you can remain calm as you wait it out.

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I'm sorry Struth... keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for a good outcome x.

 

[MsCrow]

Oh Struth, I'm so sorry the news was not great. I truly hope things turn around over the next week but understand the need to be realistic too. You're in my thoughts.

 

[charm232]

Struth, I'm so sorry to hear your news isn't as positive as we all wanted for you but it seems there is a glimmer of hope.

Thank you for letting us know as we are thinking of you.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX BIG HUGS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

[firsttimer1]

Sruth im so sorry that it was mixed news is there ANY way you could be 6 weeks? have you tried to work it out?

I just looked up the heart bpm for 6 weeks and it says 90bpm, so if your JUST 6 weeks then 60bpm could be okay...?

Or do you think its literally really unlikely?

Im sooooo anxious for you - i really hope it turns out to be one of those stories people post on here saying 'thought it was over - but its not!'

 

[struth]

Thanks for all your lovely comments x

Firsttimer - I'm pretty sure about dates. I could from 7w2d to 7w5d but nothing less than that (I used opks and temped - the link to my chart is below). There is no way I could be any less than 7w1d as I had a positive opk and my temp rised quite obviously post O. Plus If I was only six weeks then I would have got my bfp at about 2/3 dpo which is just impossible.

I have been doing similar research online and there is the smallest chink of hope (I have found a couple of stories where low heartbeats have sped up) but it seems the odds are heavily against this bean sticking.

I will take all the crossed fingers, prayers, and positive thoughts that you can all send my way though x

 

[BlessingBaby3]

Struth- I am so sorry to hear your news! You are in my prayers!

I went to my first docs appt yesterday and all they did was blood work and asked questions!! So disappointing!! I thought I would at least get to see my bean! I didn't even get a edd!!! so now I gotta wait till next wed to see anything so I guess I'll have to worry until then!!! Sorry just venting!!
