PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

so sorry to hear that titi. wish i could give you a big hug. it won't be too long until you can try again though if you feel up to it.

hi davies - that's funny you are now addicted to doppler ;) just had a veggie sandwich and had a ton of pringels this morning (sour cream and onion) feels strange to be at work, like i shouldn't sit up properly as i'm so used to laying down.
 
SO sorry Titi :cry::cry:

Heart- can't wait to read your update!
 
3 more hours to my scan and I'm terrified. My symptoms of course had to leave today! Nausea went away yesterday and hasn't returned. Have had that small amount of spotting. Had that cramping yesterday. Oh god, please let me have a good scan. Why couldn't my nausea be with me today???
 
Just think though Amanda- this has happened everytime you've had a scan right? And everything has been GREAT! I think it's your subconscious trying to prepare yourself for bad news (like in the past)- when in reality- it's going to be wonderful!! Must see more pics!!!!
 
Heart...I'll have till tomorrow for your news :hissy: all will be good :hugs:

Davies...addicted to doppler already :haha:

Fili...glad you have a scan on Friday, hoping all good news though :hugs: as for MMC, I was measuring on track when I went in at 7+2 :flower:

XxX
 
Titi, big :hug: to you. I am so sorry this time did not end well for you :cry:
If you don't mind me asking, will you be getting this one genetically tested? Xxx

Well done picking up on my defense mechanism Amos! You win a gold star! It's completely unconscious, but you are right, it's definitely what I do. But my body also doesn't seem to cooperate either. If I went into these scans with loads of symptoms and no spotting, I might feel a little more confident. Time will tell either way. I keep reminding myself that I'd rather know than sit in the unknown no matter what the result.

I have been buying oranges like they are going out fashion.. i even now have a orange lolly pop before bed. And recently on third trimester there was a whole bunch of ladies who were having boys that are orange mad. Be interesting to see if you are having a boy. Would you find out?
 
Hearty, my symptoms always left on scan days. I think it's the adrenlin running through your system. I'm sure you'll feel sick right after the scan!

Davies, sounds like you're getting your baby's HB. They're shouldn't be anything else in your stomach with a HB that high! I know it's hard to tell at first. It took me a few days to get good at picking out the difference between my HB and the baby's.
 
thanks round i hope so!!!! really lou? no i wont find out!! I want a surprise!! I have very mixed cravings it seems no meat is girl orange boy sweet things are girl but i like ready salted crisps thats boy!! I wonder what beetroot is!! I like that to!! I liked bread to until today but hate that now! Oh an apples i love them!!

I hope it is round but i just dont no if it sounds fast enough for baby!! I wosh i could upload it!! x
 
I can usually find my heartbeat on both sides and the baby's is central, especially early on. I would start in line with your belly button and go right down to your hairline. Then move either side, but probably not more than half an inch, if that. Then move up a fraction. You can push the wand in a bit and angle it, too.
Try and find the heartbeat by the sound and ignore the display on the doppler if you have one. The baby will be unmistakable due to the speed and sound like a little steam train. But move the wand a tiny bit and you lose it.
If you are unsure, feel your own pulse. The baby's heartbeat is about double as fast.
 
Thanks petit going to give it a go Tom, I don't think I found it today I don't think it was fast enough! I so hope it's still beating away!! Pls pls!! I wish I was going Tom so nervous!! I want a scan!! Xx

Ok I can't find it!! I'm scared got no major symptoms!! Had diarrhoea sorry tmi!! This morn after having bad hard stool!! Now scared my body rejecting it?!! Help!!! Symptoms come back pls!!!!!!!

Heart how u doing we been similar with our symptoms an lack of how's our mini heart doing? Xxx
 
Oh Davies I hate seeing you worry! I hate that any of us worry! I'm sure little Davies is fine in there but who am I to talk? I can't even convince myself of that!

Luckily my scan convinced me that all is ok. Heart rate is 185 and baby is measuring spot on at 9+4. It was very wriggly and kept moving about. So cute!

There is still the old blood clot near my cervix but it is small, it hasn't grown in two weeks and it isn't close to the baby. Since it is right next to the cervix it will probably keep sliding out.

They told me that I graduated from the clinic today. This was the team of specialists who I privately paid. I can now just start seeing a regular OB/gyn. I have my first prenatal appointment on Friday and just found out they do an ultrasound there too! I'm obviously going to do it, but 2 in one week is a bit excessive.

Thanks all for putting up with my craziness. I know it's PAL normal but good lord, I can be such a damn mess!

Pics much later. I'm going back to work now. xoxo
 
Yipeeeeeee Im so pleased heart :) :) can't wait for pics x
