*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[Laelani]

Hi ladies,

My scan yesterday didn't go well. I lost the baby. I was supposed to be 11 weeks 4 days but baby only measured at 9 weeks with no heartbeat. I now understand how it feels to lose a little one. I don't ever wish this upon anyone. I have a scheduled D & C on Friday.

So sorry to hear

Hey ladies may I please join?
My due date for now is October 13th but not sure if the doctor will move me forward since I measured one week ahead last week, will find out Tuesday. I couldn't sleep last night so read I think 150+ pages ands I love hearing all the success stories and sorry for those that have lost their little beans.

I had a miscarriage back in September so this little one is truly my rainbow. I also had the fetal chromosome test last week and heard back tonight that I am pretty much the lowest risk for Downs and about 20 other abnormalities. Plus she knows the sex and they are sending in an envelope tomorrow. Eeeckkkk. We hope to have a small family reveal party this weekend or next to find what we are having.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to introduce myself and wish you ladies all the best!

Congrats and welcome! :wave:

Good luck! Hope it's nothing to worry about!

Good luck, I hope it's not bad news. Xx

Hope it is nothing to worry about Thinking of you!

Praying all went well, mommy!!!!!

Mommyberry-- Hoping it's nothing a little relaxation and rest can't take care of.

Hope everything is ok!

Thanks all you lovely ladies. Baby is doing fine thankfully. I can just say that baby wanted me to see her early on and not wait until after 12 weeks She was actively beating her hands and legs and had a wonderful heartbeat.

Doc was talking about some marginal discharge of blood and asked me to rest up properly for the next 10 days.

Glad to hear that the baby is doing well!

Yo-yo-- Sending hopeful thoughts your way. I would call the Dr. also. People can be so uncaring just because they are used to it.

My bleeding came back yesterday. Bright red pouring and heavy! I've had a scan and the doctor wasn't too hopeful. She was a cold uncaring woman who was really blunt and told me I may or may not have a second trimester miscarriage!
On bed rest now as have a new bigger blood clot please send me good luck ladies

Newlywed-sure you will be ok-take it easy lovely

Welcome ashaz

Sorry of I've missed anything. Been pretty distracted

Oh, yo yo, how dreadful and scary!! I'm so sorry you are dealing with this, and I'm so sorry that it sounds like you had a horrible doctor for the scan. I'm praying for you that all is ok, and that your little one stays safely tucked away and growing healthily!! I hope you can get some rest and peace of mind. You are a sweetheart to continue to be so supportive to everyone else on this thread even while you are dealing with this.

Just the one instance of spotting so far! Nothing since I posted last night

Yo_yo - I totally understand since I'm going through the same thing from the last 2 days. Luckily my doc isn't so indifferent.

She explained to me about something called Marginal bleeding where the placenta attached to our uterus moves up a bit and the blood beneath it flows out. As long as the baby has a heartbeat, there are high chances that the placenta will attach right back and everything will fall in place. For that to happen you need to rest up properly and take good care of yourself. Avoid running around or lifting heavy loads. Unless placenta rips completely off from the uterus, your baby will have his blood supply and will do just fine.

Try not to worry and take care of yourself through this hard time. We are all thinking of you.

AFM - Though my doc assured me everything is alright, my bleeding hasn't completely stopped. I'm worried as hell too... but just trying to stay calm.

Still thinking of you, mommyb...I can't imagine how hard it is to try to relax right now. I'm so glad you have a supportive doctor!! This sounds like great info, and I'm praying this is the case for you and yo yo, and that both of your little ones stay safe and healthy.

Newlywed- Try to take it easy, I am sure it will be okay and glad to hear there has not been anymore spotting.

ashaz- I know how you feel. I didn't have a group with my first but the group I had/have from being pregnant with my son was and is amazing. We are still in touch daily, share pics of our kids and share pretty much anything and are always there to support each other!

Yo_Yo - Oh, no, lovey!! I am sorry to hear your bleeding has returned!! I am praying so hard for you and your little one. I wish you had a more sensitive doctor, it's so harsh to leave a mom in limbo like that. I hope you get some rest and answers soon!!

Mommyberry- Still thinking of you. Hope the bleeding completely stops soon.

Yup it's official maternity pants coming out of the closet ugh I didn't need them with my DD until like 16 weeks!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Mommyberry-just seem you had a scare. hope your putting your feet up and resting. So glad your doctors are more caring.
How are you feeling? Drink plenty of water.
Hope everyone else is doing well. I'm sick of being in bed lol never thought I'd say that!

Yo-yo, I hope the bleeding stops soon, that sounds very scary

I'm doing good, though utterly wiped out. I had my obstetrician appointment and two scans today! They'd booked me in for two appointments (ob/viability scan and NT scan) simultaneously and hadn't sent me the second appointment letter because they had it in someone else's records - someone with almost the same name as me Good job the appointments were at the same time or I'd never have known :/

All sorted out now, and baby is absolutely perfect Measuring 12w4d (or 12w6d by the NT scan, but I thiink I'm going with 12w4d as it's the middle date - going by ov, I'm 12+2), and NT is 1.6mm, so really couldn't have asked for any better.

Bean was lying quite calm and well-behaved for the first scan, just waving its arms and legs about a bit, and then for the NT scan it started rolling about and doing full-body hiccup-type movements. Incredible to see. Up til now, even with hearing the HB on the doppler, I was doubtful about whether there was actually a real baby in there!

Hubby was quite contained and quiet in the hospital, he was quite annoyed at all the messing about and how disorganised it was, but he was obviously really happy in the car when I was taking him in to work afterwards, and his best friend just texted me to say congratulations and said he looked really chuffed

Scan pic to come, when hubby gets home and takes a photo of it with the good camera

Babyfeva - I'm so sorry Hun saying prayers for you

Yo-yo & mommyberry - yikes! So scary and I can't believe that doc you got yoyo! How awful! Hope the bed ret does the trick and that both your little beans are just fine!

Newlywed - that's good about the job but sorry about the distance. Hopefully the other job pans out for you guys! As for the pink spotting don't worry too much. Let your doc or midwife know but as it has stopped you're probably fine. I've noticed I get a bit of brown spotting sometimes within about 24 hrs of DH and I dtd. It only happens once or twice when I wipe and then it's gone. Think that type of spotting is normal. As long as it's not red blood and there's no pain associated with it you're probably okay. Fx for you!

Can't remember who posted about the relish lunch but that cracked me up haha I've been craving cheese sandwiches and pickles lately myself.

Finally had a good pregnancy dream last night. Dreamt we were almost done with the pregnancy and that we could take our babies out one at a time to check on them for a few minutes then put them back in (weird huh? Lol) so we had taken one out (a girl) and my DH was holding her. So neat I can't wait to be holding them for real! I usually know in my dreams that I have twins but I never see them both, I only ever see one and the other is either not born yet or just isn't in the room or in view. So weird. And the one I see is always a girl.

Anyway, 9 weeks today! Babies have officially graduated from embryo status to fetus!

Midwife and second doc apt coming up soon!

Yoyo I hate this stress for you! I would hate being in bed all the time but please take it easy!

 

[Loopy Laura]

Yo yo I'm so sorry you're going through this. I get so angry at heartless doctors - they should remember how traumatic this can be for individuals. I agree you should let someone know. I really hope all is ok and the bed rest helps.

Mommyberry - likewise i hope the bleeding stops soon. I'm sure all is ok and it sounds like your doc gave you a reasonable explanation.

Newlywed - glad the spotting stopped.

 

[staceymxxx]

yo-yo are you ok ?x

 

[staceymxxx]

Had my scan today i'm 12 week 6 days so 1 day ahead of what i thought, had nuchal done and its 4.4 thick so baby may have downs syndrome, underlying heart problem or nothing wrong at all, i've had bloods done and get results next week then see consultant week after, baby was been a little bugger and wouldn't move then when he did i don't think they got an accurate measurement as he wasn't very happy been prodded and poked!

We had our scan today. Measuring 12 weeks 5 days which is a few days ahead of what we first thought. I am due 4th October. Everything looked good so we can relax a little now and start to enjoy the pregnancy.

I haven't read the last few pages, I hope everyone is doing alright.
