I'm so sorry about your losses. I pray this is your miracle rainbow baby... My anniversary is May 17! So we both may have our babies on our wedding days. That would be very rewarding

Hi lovely ladies and good morning,

Quick question, for those who are pregnant, are your doctors/midwives wanting you to come in sooner than later because of the past losses? I am asking because I delivered July 5th, and now am pregnant 2 months later. I didn't have sex until I was cleared at my post partum appt, but considering I delivered at 18 + 5 weeks, and am pregnant soon after, I wonder if the doctor will want me to come in before 8 weeks... I called this morning to confirm my referral to OB (takes 48 hrs to process).
When I spoke to the referral lady, she said I may have to come in earlier, and that she would talk to a nurse and doctor to see what I should do. I am not worried about complications because I know that it was meant to be, but I am just anxious to hear back from them to know if I have to come in sooner or later.

Also, no one in my family knows I am preggos because we are still healing from our angel, and we just want to wait until maybe 5 months (when I delivered before). Is that selfish of us? We live in a different state 7 hours away from most famlily because of being in the military, so no one will see us until Thanksgiving...
My mom will see us at the end of October (I'll be 10 or 11 weeks) because I am going dress shopping for her wedding!!! Get this, she gets married June 28th 2013, and my due date is May 21, 2013!! When she finds out, hopefully she will be okay with it because I will have the baby before her wedding, so we can still make it. She really needs me to be there for her on that day, so I just keep thinking I was so blessed to have this baby now and the due date be before her wedding. So she told me I couldn't get pregnant in October or November lol But she doesn't know I'm preggos because I don't want to overwhelm her, and just because I want to let my baby cook a while before we share this news. We're not ready to hear anyone's opinion if it is negative right now...

Okay I ramble when I anxious, so sorry for switching subjects, but the first one was asking if anyone has had to go in earlier this pregnancy? I know I got pregnant only 2 months after, so I assume that will play a factor. My doctor did say that we could start trying right away so.....
Second question, am I being selfish for not wanting to tell anyone about this pregnancy? It's happened so quickly you know.

MizzPodd, I am so so sorry. What a terribly sad story.
You seem very positive though, I do hope that this one sticks properly for you xx

Thank you I figured that the only way I can get through this pregnancy is to be positive, and enjoy it. NO BAD THOUGHTS!! Of course they creep in every now and then, but I try to distract my thoughts to something else.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Mizz I am so sorry for your losses but I love your positive attitude! Well done you, I know it can't be easy to keep a PMA x

Hey ladies! Sorry that I've been away I've been so tired and sick at times that I haven't felt like moving haha! My midwife's scheduler said they don't typically do scans until 20 weeks do I'm going to be a bad girl and go to the emergency room for one haha I just can't possibly wait that long without going completely crazy!

That's crazy!!!! I would totally go to ER! It has crossed my mind as well quite a few times, I have to wait til the 24th and I am going nuts, I couldn't imagine waiting til 20 weeks. Did they explain why they wait that long?

 

[Tasha]

Oh wow, here we have a 12 week one as standard.

I will probably have weekly from 6 weeks ish, until 13 weeks then growth scans begin at 16 weeks and continue fortnightly, and possibly reassurance scans in the middle of those. Thats if I get that far.

 

[MightyMom]

I went in for my first appointment this morning and my doctor wanted me to get a scan straight away. I wasn't expecting that. I hope they give you an early scan, if only for your peace of mind.

Also, we are not telling anyone about this pregnancy until Christmas. I plan to go home for Christmas this year (I don't usually) and will give my mom a poem for her present. Then we'll tell the rest of the family. I think when you are PAL you feel differently about when to break the news, it is a totally personal decision. Some ladies tell right away, some wait until the third tri. Good luck in what you decide MizzPodd.

Lee: What a cool coincidence! Somehow it just seems like everything is in place for you. I believe when that happens in life it is because we are where we are supposed to be.

Amanda: I'm not sure I could wait until 12 weeks! Although, ironically, that was my plan with this pregnancy so I wouldn't go crazy with worry. So much for plans!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I'm getting quite bad pains at the moment not sure if they're wind or cramps bur also got watery red blood when wiping. I am so so scared x

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Hope it all stops soon and is nothing sweetie.

I'm awake with poop/gas pains and nausea. I know I won't be able to get back to sleep for ages now.

 

[MightyMom]

Aw MissMM, I hope it's just a small bleed. I've been feeling lots of aches and cramping too. Take it easy and stay off your feet tomorrow.

 

[Storm7]

Keeping everything crossed for you MMM. Can you spend the day resting with feet up? Maybe head down to urgent care - they arranged a scan for me last preg when I started spotting.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I managed to get back to sleep. Still had the pains this morning but just brown blood again. Dunno if it was constipation so going to see what I can take for it x

 

[BklynChick74]

MMM please take it easy and relax. I hope it really is nothing and you have a H and H 9 months.

 

[manuiti]

Hope you're managed to rest MMM. Got my fingers crossed for you.

 

[padbrat]

It is great I feel like all my friends are here! Lee, Manu, Tash, Mighty... and so many more to get to know! Ladies.. is it coincidence we are all here together? I think not!

MM I have had spotting on and off for about a week and a half. How far along are you? Could it be implantation?

Miz I salute your bravery. You have truly been through it lady. x

And of course... thank you so much ladies for the pinkness!!

Not sure if I am on front page.. but I am padbrat... I am on my 7th pregnancy (none survived so far)... and I am due around ish... 6th May 2013... please please please!!!

 

[Tasha]

Mighty I wont tell until at least Christmas but probably 24 weeks + if I get that far.

MMM, I hope you're okay and everything has settled.

Pad, It is sooooo nice that so many of the recurrent pregnancy loss girls are pregnant at the same time. I love your way of thinking, that we are meant to go through PARL together. And hopefully Hope will be joining us in here too

We have everything crossed for you hun, and I am thinking pink for you too.

 

[padbrat]

Aww Tash... it does mean so much to me xxx
