PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Aww thanks hopeful we go to see the fertility specialist on Monday so I'm looking forward to seeing him. Just got my formal letter through the post to say the mc was a trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) female. Feeling relieved now and 'lucky' that it was miscarried (and sorry to be depressing) and not carried to term only to die a day later as that is what happens with Edwards syndrome. Chances of it happening again though are 1% and like 99% of these chromo abnormalities are miscarried anyway, you have to be super super unlucky to carry to term. phew! Not sad, relieved!

Oh and I'm getting super fit, I went for a 3 mile run today and was hardly out of breath! It is lovely weather today, last week I was running in remnants of the snow!

Does anyone know how to insert a spoiler? I want to tidy up my journal

Lish – hi! I just joined this group a few days ago, and already I can tell you that this is a very comforting group of girls to talk to. That’s great news that you have already seen a healthy heartbeat

Puppy – Is the horrid taste you describe something along the lines of a dirty penny? A mix of vomit and metal? That was probably one of the WORST symptoms I had with ALL of my pregnancies, successful and not. Around 7-8 weeks I develop the horrible taste and it lasts until a week or two after delivery. It sounds minor enough, “just a bad taste”, but to be honest I thought it was worse than the nausea and vomiting because it was there all the time, 24 hours a day. I hope your bad taste is only temporary!!

Mom2 – congrats on the great numbers! How are you getting your hcg levels taken so regularly this early? I would love for my OB to do that but it was never offered, even with my previous miscarriages. I am right around you, 4 weeks and 6 days, so I’d love to know my levels are that high as well!

Heart – try not to worry too much about your scan tomorrow! Everything seems to be going so smoothly for you! I know we’ll hear wonderful news from you when you get back tomorrow I wonder if we’ll be able to see your scan? That would be fantastic! And finding out boy or girl is so very exciting!!! That little piece of news will rock your world and forever change your life.

So just out of curiosity, when did all of your MS start? I’m in my 5th week and I think with my previous pregnancies mine didn’t start until the 7th or 8th week, but I have heard other women saying theirs started earlier.
Hope everyone had a great day!!

I have an awesome OB. He doesn't like to do HCG more than twice, but when i pushed a bit for weekly draws for awhile he agreed. His philosophy is that if it will help the mother stay calm and won't hurt the baby then go for it. I really appreciate that. With my last miscarriage the only way we knew anything was wrong was because my HCG didn't double at 7 weeks. This was after 3 weeks of great numbers, so it was very unexpected.

Awww Tracey, sucks when they're poorly when so small

Well i went out for lunch today with my best friend who has a 7month old. Laura was good with him and behaved fairly well too. Got her some sweets to reward her good behaviour.

Thanks for all your replies girls. I spoke to her nursery today who said she's usually good and they haven't had any issues before yesterday's biting incident. They told me not to worry about it so i'll try not to!

You're so beautiful and young!

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Okay ladies, I'm letting fear in, but I would like to know if any of you have dealt with this particular symptom.
Since yesterday afternoon my uterus has been hurting. Not agony, but definitely uncomfortable. Its a constant soreness that's tender to touch like a bruise. Doesn't feel like cramps and its right in the middle, under my belly button. I'm in yoga pants today, jeans are too painful.

 

[croydongirl]

mom2 - I had lots of strange pains in the beginning. I know it is such a scary time, but if you are not bleeding and your pain is not severe, you can think positively. I hope the pain goes away soon so you can relax. I remember how tough those first weeks were, please kkep sharing your fears so we can encourage you. I am not sure what I would have done without this thread for support early on.

Fili - You re so pretty, you and your hubs look so happy! Thanks for sharing your pics.

Heart & Embo - Wishing you fab scans. I am totally jealous, but so excited to hear your announcements!!

Davies - We're onions!!!! yay!!

Pup - wishing you an extra dose of strength and patience as you parent today. I hope that your DD will begin to respond positively to your attention soon. 2 is a hard age.


Ladies, have any of you suffered with sciatic nerve pain? I have had so much pain in my left bum cheek the past few days. Has had me in tears when it hits hard and I can't figure out what triggers it. My googling suggests it is sciatic nerve pain - but some of my UKK preggo friends suggested pelvic girdle pain (i had never heard of it before) either way,it makes walking difficult at times and turning over at night is impossible. Its 2 weeks until my Doctor appointment hoping i can wait until then to get medical help but i guess we will have to wait and see.

Hapy thursday ladies!

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Oh, I had sciatica so bad in some of my pregnancies. Ouch! Unfortunately my doc told me that there's nothing to be done about it, but that it will go away when baby comes. Ah, the joys of pregnancy.

I'm an apple seed, I'm an apple seed!

Pups – Bless you it must be so hard having a little one and being pregnant. My friend is going through that stage with her DD and I think its an age where they are testing the limits I think and more about testing your limits too which must be soooo hard.

Bumpy - Good luck with the results

Embo – hurry up 6pm!!!!

Fili – Hope you’re appointment goes well sweetie for Monday - I bet you feel better knowing the results. Well done with the run!
Tracie – sorry Diva is ill – hope she gets better

Mom2 – its really frustrating having all the stretching and pulling but I think its pretty normal hun, just your uterus growing.

Croy – ouch hope its all gets sorted or you manage to hold out to your next appointment

Happy 17 weeks davies!!

Hopeful – not filming the birth but may get some pics when he arrives.

 

[hopeful23456]

croy - i had it, my right butt cheek but i had acupuncture on it (during my regular acu visit) and they stuck a needle or 2 in it and it's totally gone now! amazing....

mom2 - i haven't had that pain but probably just stretching and growing pains?

you are just beautiful fili....

croy - happy 17 weeks! can you believe it?

It's good news!!!!!!



My beta went from 41 to 113 in 48 hrs!!!!

I get to be pregnant for two more days!! I feel a little like I'm on death row and just got a 48 hr reprieve. But I'll take it!

Now to go back and catch up....

 

[heart tree]

Not sure I'm getting a scan today. I might have one to check the health of my cervix since I've had so many D&C's but they might not look at babe and probably won't tell me gender. Damn! I have my 20 week scan in 3 weeks from today. Guess I have to be a little more patient. Still at docs office. Will catch up later.

 

[filipenko32]

aww thanks girls!
HA i replied on your journal so I think you know EXACTLY how I feel about your news but just in case you are unsure:
Heart - damn it! im really feeling your disappointment but m aybe think about it this way - they will spend more time having a thorough look at your cervix and that is obviously so important so probably best they're not distracted?
