Hi, I know exactly how you feel, I think once you've had a mmc it's very easy to convince yourself it's happened again - I keep thinking that it's all over due to lack of symptoms etc.

If you're really worried than speak to your doc or epu and see if you can get a scan to put your mind at ease. If they won't do it then maybe you could look into having a private scan.

Ellabear i know exactly what you mean I too have no symptoms still and am.convinced that i too have had another mmc. I am going to see my gp wed and belueve me it cannot come soon enough.

 

[Tweak0605]

Ella, I agree with cb1. If you're really worried, I would definitely talk to your doctor or someone, and see if you can get a scan. Don't push those feelings away; I know over in the US is different, but the u/s tech at my last scan said if I had any "gut feelings", to give them a call and they would squeeze me in. Give them a call and see what they say

Okay ladies, today is the big day for me. I'm off to get my HCG checked again. I'm praying its over 35,000. If not, I'll know something's wrong.
So nervous, this check feels so incredibly important. Like its going to tell me what to expect at my ultrasound on Friday. I pray my little bean is growing strong and healthy! Come on HCG!

 

[cazi77]

Hi all hope everyone is well.
Mom2 fingers crossed for your HCG results.

AFM I had my scan today. Everything perfect - baby 14mm which is bang on for 7+5 with a lovely strong HB. I'm on at the moment x

 

[cb1]

Fantastic news Cazi! And good luck Mom2 with your results.

Anyone else got a scan or appt booked for this week? I have a scan on Wednesday morning, which I'm feeling very nervous about.

Cazi - congrats to you for a wonderfull scan!!

ellabear - I've only had really mild symptoms and they keep disappearing and I keep thinking the worst as well...it's just really hard to be pregnant again after mmc and it's an everyday struggle but hopefully we'll all get through it and get our rainbow babies!

Hello to everyone else!!

AFM - still have Okay, since there are a few of us with fears about our symptoms, I am going to start a symptom spotter thread, I know that I am having more symptoms than I think but am brushing them off...like the dizziness, I just keep pushing through it and later I'm thinking "did I have any dizziness today?" and I can't remember so please join me there too so we post our symptoms as we have them throughout the day!

Hello to everybody else, hope yall are having a good day today!

AFM - I still have sore boobs and I did throw up this am but don't know if it was m/s or b/c I was so stressed and worried about not having m/s (I have thrown up when I got nervous several times)! Sigh, come on 35 weeks lol!!

 

[sharonfruit]

I had my scan this morning, according to dates I should be 6w2 but was measuring less than 5 weeks. Have got another scan a week on Friday to see if bean has grown, will be a long couple of weeks but am not really clinging on to any hope x

 

[beth30]

Sharon, if you O'd late then your dates may be correct... just a few days will make a difference..

And ladies who are missing symptoms... go with your gut, but try to keep the hope alive.

 

[debzie]

Cazzi so glad your scan went well.

Sharonfruit when they are measuring something that small they can be off with the measurements a mm can make the difference of a week.

Afm unfortunatly my gut is saying therevis something wrong. I still have glimpses of hope but am trying at the moment to push them to oneside for fear of another mmc and. it hurts all the more when you have allowed yourself to.hope abd dream of the would have been baby.

Sorry for the doom and gloom.

Hi ladies,
Welcome to all the newbies

Sharon, sorry for all the worry you are going through. Two weeks to wait is a very long time. In my experience, they usually like to have a gap of 1 week between scans. Keeping my fx'd for you.

Very pleased for you Cazi

Beth, how are you now?

AFM, I haven't been on here for a while. Been very down in the dumps thinking this pregnancy is doomed. Last week I'd been vomiting for England, had massive boobs with poking out veins all over, huge bloating etc etc, then it just stopped over the weekend. Not even hungry anymore but for those of you who are worried for the same reasons...I brought my private scan forward a week to today and I saw my bean again!
I'm measuring spot on with my dates 7 + 6 with a heartbeat of 150bpm and she's grown 11mm in 12 days and now measures 13mm which is also exactly right. I'm on
I still don't feel pregnant - Meaggers, yes all my symptoms have disappeared and I'm 8 weeks tomorrow. Bloating gone down, nowhere near as sick. I am very tired though. I've been an absolute nervous wreck. Now it's another 2 week wait until my next scan so I'll be just as bad again in a few days but I'm further along than I was last time and right now I'm just trying to enjoy it. Keep faith everyone and look after yourselves xxx

 

[sharonfruit]

Thank you ladies for all of your reassuring words, I really hope it is that I ovulated late.

Sharon, sorry for all the worry you are going through. Two weeks to wait is a very long time. In my experience, they usually like to have a gap of 1 week between scans. Keeping my fx'd for you.

The sonographer suggested 10-14 days so the nurse made the appointment for 12days so its in the middle. I think because I was measuring less than 5 weeks they suggested to wait up to 2 weeks so I will be definately at least 6 to 6 and a half weeks and there will be hope of seeing a heartbeat.

Sharonfruit - sorry for all the trouble hon, I hope next scan shows a healthy baby with a healthy HB and measuring right on track!!

Just want to say (and someone remind me of this when I freak out again) with Olivia, I felt like she wasn't going to make it despite serious morning sickness and at 9 weeks, convinced I lost her, I went to the ER only to see she was measuring ahead with an HD of 171!!! I thought all hope was lost but it wasn't! On the other hand I choose to think the worst so I won't get myself all excited b/c it hurts more when I start thinking about a baby that I never get to have. I really hope that these are our forever babies, I just don't know if I can handle another miscarriage...Really wish my doppler would work early!

 

[Meaggers]

Cazi great news!

Im with everyone else on this. Symptoms seem to come and go. Like I've said before oh and i have never made it this far in our pregnancy. Needless to say every little thing scares me in to thinking it'll be another mmc again. The only thing I keep telling myself is "fluctuating symptoms are normal and I have no reason to fear the worst!" I think we're so used to being let down or having our hearts broken that we only look for the negatives as if we're just waiting for the ball to drop again. We have to think positive ladies! Hugs!

I have a scan Wednesday afternoon. Let's keep bringing in the good news!!

 

[beth30]

Wilfbown- I am doing good today... I've taken it a bit easy today... now just sitting around watching tv with my little family. It is cold out, but the weather is supposed be mild this week, so I will get to spend some much needed time outside... I get depressed all cooped up. We are going to start adding some rooms onto our house soon..I will be supervising while everyone else does the hard labor.. but that is normally what I do even when I am not pregnant! LoL! I do have to admit, I am a member of the lazy club....

As for the symptoms, I am 7+1 today, I do feel my symptoms fading a bit... my boobs are still sore, and I am having cravings... but other than that, I am normal... little sore in the abdomen area...but my bump is already growing, probably because of the pregnancies before stretched me out. I had to get a belly band to hold my jeans up because I can't button them... I have had the bloat, and this isn't it... the doctor said that he could tell I had grown a bit in just a week... wonder what I'll look like when I go back on the 19th?

Just ordered me a doppler from ebay. I had one last year, it was brand new, I ordered it and it arrived the day of my m/c.... I swore I wouldn't do that again. But I think I'm okay this time. I loaned out the one from last year, and since then many people have used it, and I'd like to start with a new one, new pregnancy, new doppler, and I will not loan this one, and this pregnancy is going to make it! I am determined!

 

[Meaggers]

Glad you're feeling a bit better Beth. Good thinking on the Doppler. This one WILL make it! Which one did you get? I think I have the 3 MHz Sonoline B

 

[beth30]

That is the one I got! I chose it both times... it has pretty good reviews...

 

[Meaggers]

Yeah it really does. Seems a lot of people get hbs early with it. Im not sure when to start trying.

 

[beth30]

I'll probably start trying as soon as I recieve it... that way I can document how early I detect it for the ladies on here to used as info...I know everyone is different, but we can know what the doppler is capable of if it is early at picking up the HB.
