[zephyr]

Im 1983 and dh is 1986

dh was actually friends with my younger brothers as kids and dhs mum and my mum were besties for many years however 10 or so years had passed since we saw each other last so we never knew who each other was till we were already dating. Was freaky when we found out.

Hey lovely mamas. I sadly lost the baby. During my ultrasound there wasn't much of a baby there at all. Pretty much just a sac. So nothing ever developed. Just waiting to MC. I'll be ok it's really hard and pretty much the worst day of my life but I have a wonderful family and friends here for me. We will heal and try again. Thank you all. You all have been the most amazing women. I'm going to miss u all. I'll come back to check on u. I'll just need someone to take over October bumpkins. Yo yo I'd like to nominate you. If not that's ok just let me know. I'm not sure
Who to contact to get this all switched. Love u all and I wish u all happy healthy pregnancies. Pls do not stress or worry because of what happened to me. I have a beautiful daughter and I'm thankful for her everyday.

I'm so sorry jm, so so sorry.

Can't I get a show of hands of who is over 8weeks and hasn't had a scan yet? I'm thinking more of the earlier people esp in the us have had a scan already?

I'm 9 weeks and no scan yet. First one will be 27th March at 12+2 - it'll be a 'viability' scan done by my obstetrician, and I don't know when my actual 12-week NT scan will be. I'm hoping I can arrange it to be the same day, as I've taken that day off work.

Quite anxious not having seen anything yet, hoping tiny bean is ok in there. Trying to resist going for a private scan...

I was offered one for 12 week NT and the 20 week that is required. Unless I had issues they would not have done it until 20 weeks if I say no to NT.

I had a scan at 5w4d, but only because I was spotting. I will have another one on Friday at 7w, but that is just a follow up to make sure baby is still progressing. Otherwise, my first would've been at 12 weeks. (That was the time of my first one with DS.)

I'm not 8 weeks yet, but my first ultrasound isn't until 12+1. I asked if I could get one earlier and the doctor said that you only get an early ultrasound if they have to check on the baby for any reason.

Oh wow ok wasn't expecting so many to not have had scans yet. Is that a uk thing?
I'm feeling incredibly blessed to have had so many scans right now, I've probably had wayyy too many tho.

I'm just so devastated for you lovely.

Yes I can take over-how do I do that? Anyone know?

Such sad news. Heartbroken for you x

 

[ljo1984]

I think you just email admin, should be n problem changing over.

JM I am so so sorry to hear you sad news sending hugs. Xx

 

[Jcliff]

I had one at 6w and 7w.. Next Thursday which will be 9 weeks. My dr said I can come whenever I want my anxiety would me threw the roof if I had to wait

 

[Kittycat155]

Well I am on State insurance for low income so that most likely is the reason. But notice UK does a lot less.

One place I looked at did 1 at first appointment and then at 2nd appointment and then again at 20 weeks with the 12 NT optional testing! They are in a REALLY good area so sure they get hardly any state insurance.

 

[GeralynB]

So sorry jm

 

[jmandrews]

Anyone know how I can email Admin?

 

[cntrygrl]

jm-- I am so sorry for your loss sending you hugs and lots of healing thoughts.

As for contacting an Admin. If you go to the Pregnancy First Trimester, Wobbles is the Admin. You can click on her name and send her a private message.

I'm in Canada. Apparently if I had told the doctor I wasn't sure on my dates then I could have had a dating scan earlier. That's what happened with my daughter because I had no idea when I conceived and we were WAY off when I went for my dating scan. We thought about 11-12 weeks, I was 23+6.

My daughter is 18 months today. My hormones are making me a little sad that my little girl is a year and a half old already. I got a really nice cuddle with her last night which also made me sad and I was almost crying. She fell asleep on me with her head on my shoulder. She isn't cuddly so it was really nice and I didn't want to ever put her down (but unfortunately I was falling asleep).

I completely understand!!! There have been several times in the past few weeks that my 4 year old has said or done something so sweet and grown up that I've almost cried. And he is just so helpful and tries to go out of his way to do things for us, and sometimes that will hit me that he is going to be such a great big brother. Lol but I cry at just about anything these days!
