[Sweetkat]

Thank you for your supoort ladies. My MS is gone and paranoia is through the roof, so I am having a scan this morning. Last loss was 10&2 and am 9&5 and just sooooo worried. I will update after. Scan isn't until 9.30 (so in an hour and a half).

Urgh I had another small bleed again last night. Guess it's the rest of the blood that's behind the baby. It's clear now and no cramping and feeling really sick so I'm trying not to worry about it

Good luck sweetkat. Thinking of you.

Sorry about the bleed Kirsty. Hope your ok? I'm just waiting for the spotting to start. They said I should have a bit. Wish it would just hurry up and start. Every day it doesn't happen it gives more more hope for baby 2 and I know I'm gonna end up heartbroken.

 

[Sweetkat]

Kirsty, the spotting must be old blood.

Maryanne, so what happens normally? Do you have bleeding with second baby if sth does turn out to be wrong?? With my DD at 12 weeks they saw a bleed and said it could have been a twin (but I don't know why they said that). This time they also looked for a second pregnancy as I ovulated twice (from both sides I think).

Re me - panic over for now. Baby measuring 10 weeks and all looks normal and heartbeat of 154 (I asked the woman if it's too slow but she said normal). Although the charts online say this heart rate is 5th percentile, but I just can't worry about that now until I get my panorama stuff back.

I have to say that every time I go for a scan sth worries me. Last time yolk S a measured 5.4 (now 5 days later it's 5mm). Now the heart rate measures slow, but at another place they told me heart rate shouldn't be measured trans- vaginally as it's not accurate, and she did measure it transvaginally.

I have no idea why I don't feel sick?! Now I have the heart rate to worry about and about the panorama results. I wish they would hurry up!

It could go a few ways. I could spot for a few days, the body could reabsorb baby 2 or of course it could carry on developing and either become viable or stop developing later on. I just hope baby isn't viable that my body deals with it soon. I don't want it dragging out. Being in limbo is the hardest.

Glad your scan went ok. Could your lack of sickness just because your coming towards the end of first tri? When I was training as a doula we were always taught morning sickness can fade from week 10 onwards. I'm having barely any sickness at the moment at all. Just odd moments here and there. Hoping your results come back quickly and give you some reassurance.

The bleed was watery pink. I'm guessing it's the rest of the blood from behind baby. Was totally cleared up by this morning.


Glad scan went well. I'm not getting a lot of sickness now so I wouldn't worry about it xxx

 

[Sweetkat]

Hello everyone . Hope you are all ok. It's raining here and sooooo miserable.

I go to the EPU and to the private scanning place so much that all the drs and the nurses recognise me in both places.... I said I am so anxious I can't help having extra scans and everyone I have seen so far has been really nice...

I have had 5 scans so far this pregnancy and I might go again in a few days....

The scan today was really weird. I said can you see a heartbeat and she was looking for a whole minute and not saying a word so I thought it was bad news and then she said I will tell you when I can tell.... stressful!

Kirsty I'm sorry about the bleed. I'm glad it cleared up. As worrisome as I'm sure it is, I hope it helps that you know the source.

Sweetkat, I'm glad your scan went well. I wouldn't worry about that heartbeat. I think that sounds like normal range. I'm sorry you are so nervous. I get it though. I am too.

I'm 8 weeks now. My last baby died at 8 weeks, but I didn't find out until my scan at 10 weeks. I'm now dreading these next few weeks and that 10 week scan. I still haven't booked the appointment because I'm dreading going back. I want the scan of course, but I think I'm just scared it will be the same thing all over again. MS is strong again today though so at least there is that reassuring me.

 

[Sweetkat]

I think I will relax a bit after 12 weeks.

Karoolia, yes the weeks around MMC dates are hard. I am now past dates for MMC 1 and 2 but still a few days away from when I found out about the 3rd one. Baby measured 10 weeks and no hb. Today baby also measures 10 weeks with a hb. So I am sort of almost past it, but not quite (as I found out at 10&2 and that's not until Friday).

 

[maryanne1987]

I hope these weeks pass quickly for you karoolia. Dates where previous losses have happened are the hardest times to get through.

Another day close to your results sweetkat!

 

[xkirstyx]

It's tooooo hot here in Scotland today. I've been hiding inside. Not used to this kind of heat here!

 

[karoolia]

We're actually having a cooler day here. Gave me a reason to wear my comfy pants.

I've had some more brown spotting today. It has been off and on since that first day it happened, but more today than usual. I'm trying not to let it worry me since we did see baby a little over a week ago and everything was ok then.

 

[maryanne1987]

It's hot here too. It's weird as it was so cold yesterday so my body is struggling with the changeable weather.

Hope the sporting stops soon for you karoolia.

 

[karoolia]

I'm starting to think it isn't going to stop just carry on off and on. It has never been much. Just when I wipe. Some days I notice it a couple of times, other days not at all. I haven't called the doctor about it though because my scan reassured me and it hasn't been bad. It's just frustrating and every time I wonder if it will lead to more.

 

[xkirstyx]

I've had a lot of spotting like that as well hun. If it's brown I don't worry. I just keep an eye on it turning red x

 

[maryanne1987]

I can imagine it's not the nicest thing to live with. I'm afraid every time I use the bathroom in case I've started spotting. How long will it be to your next scan karoolia?

 

[karoolia]

I actually still need to make the appointment so it will depend on what is available, but should be around Aug. 7th or so. I plan to call tomorrow to get it booked.

 

[maryanne1987]

Very soon then!

Has anyone booked in with the midwife yet, my appointment has come around fast, it's next week.

 

[Myshelsong]

Hi ladies, I recognized a couple names here.
I have been reading along over the last couple weeks afraid to join in just in case this is all in my head, but today we had a dating ultrasound and it is official. We are pregnant.

A bit about me. I have had two losses in the last year. My first was around 22 weeks after a successful IVF cycle. The second was shortly after a positive test after a FET around 5 weeks.

I am terrified, grateful, hungry, tired and nauseous.
Happy and healthy nine months everyone.

 

[maryanne1987]

Welcome myshelsong. Congratulations on your bfp. Glad your ultrasound went well.
