Kirsty ours does a walk in service if you go early. Not sure whether it's the same everywhere. They are good about seeing me because I am recurrent miscarriage.

I hope you get seen today and that everything is ok. Also keeping fingers crossed re me but just have a bad feeling as hardly any MS

Good luck sweetkat. I hope it goes ok.

Hope your ok Kirsty and all goes ok at the epu.

Thinking of you both.

 

[Sweetkat]

Thank you Maryanne - I will update in about an hour and a half. My appointment is at 9.

I wish we had a walk in! Normally got to wait another two days for scan

 

[Sweetkat]

Kirsty, have you got a date for your scan?

 

[xkirstyx]

Not yet no x

 

[Sweetkat]

Kirsty hope you get seen soon. Has the bleeding stopped now?

 

[xkirstyx]

It's brown since I woke up x

 

[Sweetkat]

All seems to be ok so far. Yolk sac gone and now amniotic sac and baby measuring 8&5 (although it measured ahead before and now measuring just under 50th centile). There is always something to worry about with scans. Heart rate 167 so that seems normal.

Now need to decide whether to do panorama this week or wait until I get to 10 weeks (in 9 days).

Also, baby measured 95th centile and 88th centile and now unde 50 . Hope that's not a bad sign. So in short still worried

 

[maryanne1987]

Try not to worry sweetkat. You could go for another scan this afternoon and get a totally different set of measurements. It's so hard to measure accurately under 10 weeks. I'm sure your little one is doing great!

Sounds like baby is doing fab right now sweetkat that's the main thing. I have never been told al that information we just get told if everything is ok or not! I think getting all that info would just stress me out.
I'm still waiting on the nurse phoning me back. She's waiting on the dr coming in to find out if I can get scan today or tomorrow

 

[Sweetkat]

Thanks Kirsty. Don't give me any ideas lol - otherwise I will be running off for another scan

I think the dr was wrong, she even said she doesn't specialise in foetal medicine. She couldn't see yolk sac but it says it's often not seen from 14 weeks. So way too early for it to go???

 

[Sweetkat]

Kirsty fingers crossed you get a scan today

 

[xkirstyx]

I think placenta kicks in around 10 weeks I'm not sure. I wounder if mine will still be there. I'll keep a look out if I get my scan and let you know

 

[xkirstyx]

Sweetkat it makes total sense!!! You went because of lack of ms yeah? Obv that's happened because placenta has took over!!! Stop worrying mrs!

 

[xkirstyx]

So I've no go and see the consultant tomorrow and 10.30 and she wants to hopefully scan me herself and see what's going on. There is a chance I won't get a scan if she's called away for an emergency but fingers crossed I do. She was going to get me in today but there is more chance I get a scan tomorrow than today

 

[Sweetkat]

Kirsty, fab news re scan tomorrow.

Re me, the woman who scanned me just didn't inspire me with confidence. I should have asked her to get a second dr for a second opinion. Never mind. Lives and learns. It's not going to change the outcome anyway - and at least I know the pregnancy is progressing at the moment.

 

[xkirstyx]

We just need to take it a day at a time. Right now your baby has a lovely heartbeat and that's the main thing xxx

 

[maryanne1987]

Kirsty i hope things go ok for you tomorrow. Will be crossing my fingers for you.

Sweetkat I hope your feeling a little less anxious now.

Hope everyone else is ok too?

I'm off to the doctors to get a referral to the antenatal metal health team. They have a great specialist midwife who is also a councillor so she will give me a few coping strategies to help me with this anxiety.

Sweetkat, I'm glad your scan went well! Try not to worry about the measurement. When they scanned me they had several different measurements. They went with the larger one, but it worried me too at first.

Kirsty - I'm glad they could book you in. I hope everything goes well. I'm sorry you had more bleeding.

Maryanne - a midwife/councillor sounds like a great idea. DH suggested I talk to someone about my worries re pregnancy, but I just feel like most wouldn't really understand the specific feelings and why they come up.
