[Luv_My_Bichon]

Struth, just wanted to reiterate what the others have said - I'm keeping everything crossed for you and you baby. You will be in my prayers this evening xxx

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

Twinkie, I'm really really sorry that you are going through this, I know how hard it is. Sending you hugs

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!

I've read that the sleeping on your left side is mainly after 28 weeks xx

Yeah the reason you shouldnt lie on your back is the baby can block the main artery in your tummy, you shouldnt lie on your back for more than 10 mins at a time. This is only really relevant once you have a heavy load in there hehe so anytime after 24 weeks (baby, fluid, placenta, blood all mounts up in weight) Lying on your left side gives the baby the best blood supply but again this is when youre bigger. Just relax and get any sleep you can! xxxx

ps i always used to wake up on my back in later pregnancy with LO and we appear to be alright xx

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

Hi,

So pleased to read that your scan was ok and the heartbeat so strong, especially as your symptoms have been identical to mine. Has your brown stopped yet? Mine is still there on and off, I wish it would stop altogether.

still there! In fact had some this morn that was more than usual but she said to expect it so I'm not worried. Seems more in mornings then dies off thru out day xxx

Exactly the same as me, more in the mornings and then tapers off...although I did have it showing on my knicks last night when I got in from work.

If she told you to expect it did she why or what?

Can I join you ladies, I'm due march 9th from my scan. I have been feeling very sick all day sickness

Struth, I'm really hoping that your scan was mistaken and your baby's heartbeat picks up.
Twinkie, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

It's been a day of some pretty bad news on here, but hopefully we can turn that around.
I went for my second scan today, and got to hear my baby's heartbeat ticking along. It made me tear up, it was so beautiful!! I even saw it moving around in there! Doc said all looks good- no blood pooling in the uterus or anything. He wrote 7 weeks on my chart but told me 7 weeks and 5 days... but then told me my due date is March 23, which is 3 days later than I previously thought (and I thought I was 7 weeks 1 day) so I really have no idea now how that works. I guess I'm both further along and further away from my due date? I'm overseas for now, so it might have just been a language or communication error. Moving back home in just ten days, and we'll see what the docs have to say at home. Just glad to have some really good news after my minor spotting last week!

Lovely news crowned so glad to hear you're making good progress. I have no idea about edd's, all depends on how they calculate your cycle etc! Too confusing.

Just wanted to wish Loolindley good luck with your scan today - let us know how you get on.

Hi Sandy and Widget. Congratulations, and a happy and healthy 9 months to you. x

I've just had my scan, and there IS a heartbeat. She said I measure between 6+2 and 6+4, where as I had worked out that the earliest I could possibly be was 6+5, so that was a bit confusing. However she said that everything looks as it should for what it measures, and there is nothing to worry about. She then asked to see me again for another scan in 2 weeks to check I am progressing properly, and if possible to take more time off work.

Why would she say that if everything is fine? I don't know, but I am definitely taking her advice, so off to the doctors now for another sick note.

I also asked her how fast the heart was beating, as everyone seems to have a bbm count, and she said just brushed me off and said "oof, we can't tell things like that". I'm a bit cynical tbh, and maybe things arent quite as rosey as she is making out.

HOWEVER, I should count my blessings and if she said things are fine, then that should be good enough for me.

My symptoms completely disappeared last night, and are not there this morning. I know everyone says not to worry......but its bloody worrying!!!!!

 

[MsCrow]

Good news loo even if you feel a little doubtful. Go with today, and tomorrow as it comes. Glad you're taking care of you by getting a sick note, so here's hoping for a good scan in a couple of weeks. You couldn't be doing more right at the moment.

 

[xdaniellexpx]

am sure eveything fine hun i would just enjoy the time off work and put ur feet out

well i am just a super bitch oh has gone into work on his day off to get away from me

 

[Tess.ie]

Hi there, im 7w2d, due on 19 march very excited, slightly nervous, and totally delighted. Thinking of going for an early scan at 10 weeks just to make sure the little bean is really there, then I'll tell the world!!!

 

[xdaniellexpx]
