The tests are called Clear blue digitals, they roughly tell you how far past conception you are. Mine says 2-3 which basically means that when I took the test I was 2-3 weeks past conception

Thank you! I'm trying to learn all this stuff on more ? what is mmc i kno what it is i think but what does it stand for?

 

[you&me]

MMC = Missed Miscarriage.

 

[Boothh]

clear blue digitals give you a basic idea of when conception was, 1-2 = 3-4weeks pregnant 2-3 = 4-5 weeks pregnant and 3+ = 5+ weeks pregnant!

a MMC is a missed miscarriage when the baby stops developing but your body doesnt realise so you dont find out normally until your scan xx

 

[bbygurl719]

Thank you all. I kinda feel stupid asking these questions but i guess you got to learn one way!

 

[Boothh]

dont feel stupid it can be really confusing with all the shortenings im sure you will pick them up in no time!

 

[repogirl813]

saysib, andipandi, you & me, jen, welcome and congrats!!

bbgurl, I actually was wondering at first why the US clear blue digis didn't have the numbers, kind of annoying that they don't do the conception indicator in the US.

k8y, good luck on the scan I am sure everything will go well!!

dr g - it also took me a while to figure out that we didn't have those in the US! the US probably wouldn't approve them or something

k8y - good luck on your scan, sorry your post got lost, i think that happens pretty frequently on this thread!!

What does a missed miscarrage mean never heard of it?

What does a missed miscarrage mean never heard of it?

i had one last year and wouldve been due last november, basically the baby stops developing (dies) but your body doesnt realise and carrys on with the pregnancy, so you still get symptoms, dont have pain or bleeding like you would in a normal mc , i found out at my scan at 10weeks that baby stopped growing at 6+5 and had to have an operation to remove everything as it wouldnt come out on its own x

 

[bbygurl719]

OMG WOW thats crazy.

 

[Boothh]

they arnt as common as normal mcs i dont think but it does happen often x

 

[bbygurl719]

I cant wait to go to the doctors but i have to wait for insurance it sucks.

 

[DrGomps]

yeah, its rough. a friend of mine just had one...stopped growing at 5 weeks....which was why I was so nervous at my scans. once they detect a heartbeat that chance of a mmc goes down dramatically, so I feel much better.

my husband got us an ipad, I put some pregnancy books and children's books on there!! they have some nice interactive books.

so I weighed myself and I actually am up to a total gain of 15lbs! I don't know whats happening!! I mean I am working out, not eating that much (no more then pre pregnancy). also, my scale has a fat % calculator and my fat % has actually decreased...so its probably water and muscle right? My breasts are at least a cup size bigger (ugh, none of my bras fit!)

 

[Boothh]

im praying for a hb on my early scan i really am! i do have a good feeling this time though lots of symptoms and nice strong tests
i think your boobies and water weight/ bloat will be alot of it hun! i dread to go on my scales im going to stick to weekly monday weigh ins to monitor my weight gain,

bby - how long do you have to wait?
