Oh I have been bawling my eyes out over silly things for the past couple of days! And I don't mean little cries either!!

I used my last hpt earlier. Just so I don't have anymore in the house. The line is awesome!! That had me bouncing off the walls for most of the day. Lol.

 

[Dreamer2013]

Well-done Girly! I have gone cold turkey and not done a test in ages! I think I had done about 20 before that though lol.

 

[Girly922]

I knew I had to do it just so I didn't ave anymore to tempt me. Now I just have to refrain from buying anymore while also stopping myself from buying anything baby. Although I've seen a really cute baby blanket I know I'm going to cave and buy soon. I got a blue one the other day for my friend. She's 32weeks now. And they have a lovely white one that I just have to have. We're team yellow all the way so will have a lot of neutrals to start with.

I'm trying to stop myself buying anything until we see a heartbeat. It's hard. Lol.

Fife- Welcome! My husband's birthday and our anniversary is in October, so it will be a busy month for us too.

Pat- You are right we all need to focus on the positive. It is just hard at times when there is so many unknowns. But like you said we are getting closer and closer to the second trimester.

Hi ladies, I have to be rescanned tomorrow as after my mw app today I had some beige discharge, it seems to have stopped for now but I'm obviously very concerned. I was only sitting in the mw's office just before saying I've had no spotting whatsoever, although I couldn't call this spotting as it wasn't enough its enough to worry us and I guess I'm lucky they told me to come in for a scan tomorrow, my mw seems to think it's because my period would have been due tomorrow but with two losses I just can't take any chances xxx

 

[goddess25]

I am sure its nothing Oasis but i am glad that they are going to scan you tomorrow, just some reassurance.

 

[goddess25]

Welcome Fife, I am from Paisley and lived in Edinburgh for 10 years before moving out here.

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Glad you're having another scan hun! Sure it's nothing. xxx

Afm: it's the other way, I'm still waiting for someone to call me and give that appt for the scan. Doc told me to call back today if I hadn't heard from the mw or the receptionist by then. Well, I called and the lady went home at 2pm. Something that the doc kindly forgot to tell me!!! Argh! I'm starting to hate them!
In the meantime, I decided to stay hopeful, I may have a miracle after all!

How are you all?

 

[Mummymelie]

Hi ladies I'm due October 25th (ish) no doubt that will change at some point! Lol I have 3 older children so this is like my first all over again! I had 2 mc last year early on so am excited that everything seems ok this time! No spotting etc hope everyone is doing well and we can get through this 1st tri with ease!

 

[Dreamer2013]

Oasis - I'm sorry to hear you have that worry. It's excellent that you have got a scan so quickly, let us know how you get on. Easier said than done but try and stay calm, it's hopefully nothing and remember you saw a strong heart beat only a few days ago. Thinking of you xxx

Ummi I'm glad you are staying hopeful and that they get their act together to sort you out a scan as soon as possible. Thoughts are with you and keep us posted xxx

 

[Dreamer2013]

Think I am getting dh's cold.....and feeling a bit rubbish cos of it. But making the most of it and in my pjs in bed already lol. With my two cats lol. Xxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks ummi and dreamer, there's nothing now, it was quite odd, couldn't even say it was enough to spot and wasn't the colour I had with my mc, I don't know, am still really bothered but I guess I'll know more tomorrow, I'm also being seen on the 8th March by a specialist as my doc referred me for extra care and I believe I'll be scanned again then. Hope everyone is ok xxxx

 

[fifemum85]

Hiya Pat, Jaymelynn, Dreamer, Oasis and congratulations!!! Def all have to think positive I know it's hard. I'm the worst for checking TP all the time and retesting. Have run out for now so gonna be strong and not test til scan. Had call other day from epu. They're trying to talk me into waiting until 8 wks for scan, sticking to the 6+4 though. Even if I see a heartbeat I will be happy. Lost 2 at 6wks so it's milestone I wanna pass. Roll on the 8th, just hoping its nice and clear with hb and in right place. Anyone else had one this early? Can you see anything?
Anyone sneaked out shopping yet? Early days but its hard not to lol! x

 

[PatTabs]

Oasis - am sure it will be fine ..PMA hun its great your docs are taking such care.

Can you believe am actually only seeing my GP properly for the first time tomorrow? When I went in just after BFP she referred me straight to EPAU so two scans later I finally have appt to see her again and fingers crossed get the paperwork going again, I couldn't face the thought of all the midwife bumpf and a 12 week scan date earlier again and having to cancel it all.

Can I ask you guys if you are putting on weight? I have been slim all my life and as this is my first I have really noticed the gain, I've already put on 4 lbs..it really just feels like bloat mind you and big boobs but is that right?!

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you all Pat I've lost two lbs but I am about a stone and a half overweight so I can def do with not putting too much on early, it's only cause I've been right off most foods and drinks, choc etc, I've struggled to eat three times a day, I have done but it's been hard! I have to go on vitamin d tablets cause with a BMI of 31 I'm classed as obese which is utter rubbish, I walk about 2 hours a day as we don't drive and I'm only a size 14 hardly huge! My doctor said BMI is outdated as it doesn't count muscle mass, even so it's not nice being classed as obese! Xxx

 

[Jaymelynn]

Oasis- I am glad that your doctors are taking what you say seriously and getting you a scan asap. It is frustrating when they brush you off. Another scan will be great reassurance that all is ok.
Fife- I had a transvaginal ultrasound at 6w1d and they could see the little bean with the heartbeat flickering and the yolk sac. From what I understand they cannot see much on a regular ultrasound at that time.

I just got back from my 8w1d ultrasound and I saw my gummy bear with a strong heartbeat (167)! In October I found out I had a mmc at 8w3d, so I have been a nervous wreak. I feel much better now, but I know in a day or two I will be back to worrying about every change, checking the TP, etc. I have to focus on enjoying the moment.

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks jaymelynn, I'm so pleased your scan went so well, hope mine does tomorrow too, I know what you mean I felt huge relief Monday at my scan then the worries creep back in, all we can do is take one day at a time xxxx

 

[Jaymelynn]

I will be thinking of you tomorrow! It is crazy that we look forward to the scans for relief, but the relief is short lived. I am kinda glad I am not the only one like that. My husband thinks I am crazy, haha.

 

[Oasis717]

Lol we are all crazy then! Xxx
