PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[croydongirl]

ha ha sara that little icon is like looking in a mirror!! ha ha Except I am not brave enough to jump up and down like that! Wishing you peace as you wait, the final hours before scan can be so nerve-wracking. I am sure you are fine, but we all understand what you are going through!

Hopeful - I know with our hospital, you have to be registered with a pediatrician before they will discharge your baby. I had forgotten until you mentioned it. I need to get on that! It seems funny to go and interview doctors but I hope its not a new thing for them to experience. I just want to make sure that I feel a connection with him or her so I can trust them to care for our bubba.

Hiya Lee! I want you here so bad. I think about you all the time my lovely.

Sara it's totally normal to feel this nervous. I hated every second of the anticipation leading up to the scans in the early days. We're holding your hand.

Hopeful now I have cervix envy! Did you take it easy this week? What an improvement. I hope I'll be in the 3's on Monday. Glad the scan went well. I have a bit of a block finding a pediatrician. My step-father was my pediatrician before my mom married him. He raised me since I was 4 but I've known him all my life. He died in 2006 and I still get sad that I won't be able to call him and ask him questions about the baby.

Pip I'm loving the kitty photo! Very color coordinated too.

I'm fine today. Just took a nice shower and even allowed myself to shave. I feel hairfree and clean! Feeling emotional for no good reason. Well I think the reason is that if bed rest becomes my daily routine for the rest of the pregnancy I'm going to miss out on a lot. I won't be able to take birthing classes. How will I find a daycare? How will I tour the hospital? Will I ever get to have a babymoon with hubby before the baby is born? Just lots going through my brain. I'm also scared if my cervix is 3.0 and then I go back to work, what if it shortens again? It's all so damn scary.

Lol, what's a paediatrician? Here, you have to have a car seat. As far as I know that is the only rule before leaving hospital

Sara, pick yourself some really looooong threads to catch up on and your scan will be here before you know it

 

[petitpas]

Heart, I think that if your cervix is 3cm on Monday that will just confirm what the last internal scan said and I wouldn't worry. You'd be far off from the danger zone.
So get in there, book your classes and your tour and go back to yoga. Enjoy yourself! You have certainly deserved to enjoy this pregnancy as much as possible

 

[sara1]

Thanks everybody... hubby's away and I'm so scared. All the support from you guys just turned me into a puddle

[heart tree]

How much longer Sara? I went to my early scans alone too. It's no fun. Wish I could be there with you.

What's wrong Jen?

 

[sara1]

45 minutes

 

[heart tree]

I want to see a boob competition! LOL! mine wouldn't win. They're bigger but only a C cup I think. I'd be happy if they stayed like this.

 

[heart tree]

Sara did they tell you what they are hoping to see in the scan? Just keep remembering that it's early and there is still plenty of time for growth if they don't see much today.

 

[LeeC]

Thank you Heart and I'm dying to join you all. I'm 4dpo this cycle and really hoping this gonna be my month.
I miss you all so will be popping by more regular now I'm feeling a bit better x.

 

[heart tree]

Lee I saw that you tried soy. I did soy for one cycle and actually did get pregnant that cycle. Obviously it wasn't my keeper, but seeing that Just got her BFP from soy too is encouraging. As always, I'm constantly rooting for you. xo

 

[LeeC]

Yeah. Just got her BFP on soy, not going to get carried yet though. It's re-assuring to know it can help though. Thanks x.

Sara- I hope the scan went well.

I love seeing all the papayas, I guess we'll be seeing those for awhile though.

AFM- I'm spotting. I have a call into my doc's office, I'm going to ask if I can get my scan tonight or tomorrow instead of waiting until Monday. Last baby we lost at 10 weeks, so this feels like deja vu. I have to keep telling myself that this pregnancy is different. My numbers were way better, my two scans showed healthy heartrates, not slow ones. But with the spotting and mild cramping I can't help but feel like my baby might be dying. What to do?

 

[heart tree]

Mom2, it's most likely one of the clots. They either need to bleed out or get reabsorbed. In my experience, I've noticed that most women experience them bleeding out. Hang in there. I agree though, you should try to get your scan sooner if at all possible. I never was offered this, but I think sometimes they give an injection of Clexane to help break up the clot.

When I had my bleed, I also had cramping. It was in my back and my hip. It was VERY uncomfortable. I was told it was caused by the blood. Blood is an irritant. It doesn't mean you are losing the baby. xoxo

 

[daviess3]

Mom2 heart had blood I had spotting an we're still here I no its hard stay positive! Hope u get a scan soon to put ur mind at rest xx
Lee how u doing my lovely hope to see u soon it's Def ur turn! X
Sara hope all good waiting ur update x

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Thanks, Amanda. Why can't I just have a normal pregnancy with no complications?
I just can't stand the thought of losing another baby, not after everything has been going so well. To top it off my Sister is moving out to Nebraska from California. She bought the house next door to us and we're very excited. But she and my dad are driving right now and should be here tonight. Not good timing.

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Thanks, Davies. I really want to check on my little one. I wish I had ordered my doppler sooner, but I had to wait to until payday which is tomorrow. I just wish my doc would call back already!

 

[croydongirl]

Mom - I am sorry this is scary, but I am sure you will be ok. Don't beat yourself up too much about the doppler. I know some people can hear heartbeats earlier but I couldn't find our little one until 10 and half weeks and some until much later so you might not have got peace of mind. But by the time you order it and get it, I bet it will be a good time to hear that precious beating.
Hope that you get in for your scan today so you don't have to wait. Thinking of you xx
