PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[lishmin]

Hi All,

I would love to join this group if ok as I have had 1 mmc at 10 weeks last April and 1 ectopic last July. I am now 8 weeks 3 days pregnant and needing all the support I can get to stay calm.

I have had confirmation the baby is in the right place and had a scan confirming heartbeat etc. I just keep worrying, 24 hours a day that something is going to go wrong. I am going crazy and I know all of you understand this.

Room for me in the group???

Hey and welcome... I just posted on your thread. I am worrying as well... I get a scan on friday, and I hope all is well with me too. The ladies on this thread are really nice. And they will welcome you as well. Good Luck to you, and all of us.

Welcome lishmin

 

[lishmin]

I had not noticed this group berfore (I must be blind) but it seems like such a good idea. We are all in similar situations and its reassuring to know we are not alone.

I hope that each and every one of us has good luck this time and that we can get through our pregnancies together and share the ups and downs.

Thank you again

Welcome lishmin. My last pregnancy before this one was ectopic. I had to have my right tube removed. It makes any future pregnancies even more stressful, because not only are we worried about another mc, we're also doubly worried it might be another ectopic. I'm so glad to hear yours is in the right place this time with a hb. Congrats! I hope you find the support you are looking for here. xoxo

Oooooh a few newbies, it's always good to have new blood in here!

Never i'm ok thanks. Had a burst of energy this morning so made the most of it and cleaned like it was going out of fashion! Had a nap when Laura did and woke up with no energy! Haha.

Got a horrid taste in my mouth tonight. Yuk. Trying to think about what to eat for dinner but nothing looking good atm. DH doing nachos for him and Laura but can't face spicy salsa etc. Bleurgh

lishmin, Congrats on the great scans and welcome.

I'm on right now! Got my HCG level done today. 2424!

Doubling every 40.9 hours, so I'm very happy with that! Looking great so far!

Fab news sweetie!!!

 

[heart tree]

That's great news Mom! Your numbers look spot on!

Puppy, glad you got a little energy. Nachos sound delicious to me. Can I come over?

Lou, how are you feeling?

Girls, I'm getting nervous for my appointment tomorrow. I keep thinking the baby hasn't grown appropriately. I have no basis for that. The last time the baby was measured was at 12+3. I know the baby is alive thank god for the doppler. But now I'm just getting the pre-scan jitters.

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Heart, jitters are to be expected, but I'm sure baby is growing beautifully. If the heart is beating the baby is growing, that can be assumed. God bless. Can't wait to hear how great baby is doing tomorrow.

 

[puppycat]

Heart i'm afraid you're a bit late! I had a cheese toastie in the end, twas yum.

 

[heart tree]

Thanks Mom, that's a reassuring thought about the hb and growth.

Puppy, I might have to go home and make nachos. Maybe the spice will make the baby grow even more by tomorrow!

 

[Embo78]

Hey hearty, my scan buddy!! Don't worry about the scan. You hear bubs heartbeat, your test results were fab. This is your forever babe. Tomorrow will be just fine. I can't wait to see pics and whether you're having or
Big big hugs

 

[hopeful23456]

congrats mom2! good beta number

heart- i totally understand, i think the same thing but I include heartbeats too as i don't even get to hear them at home. but, you hear the heartbeat and we know your little one is fine. i can't wait to hear if it's a girl! if you are like me, you get the most nervous the day before and then when you get there, it's like "ok, let's see the baby now" and feel pretty good about it.
they didn't even measure me last thurs, they just assume it's fine and next time i get measured it will be the more accurate way (so the say), which i've read online is the femur, circumference of head and something else I think? then they can determine how much they weigh!
not sure if that's exactly what they measure but i know it takes more time to do it rather than a crown to rump length.

 

[heart tree]

Thanks girls. The closer I get, the more excited and anxious I get. I also am not 100% sure I'm getting a scan, since it's a new doctor. I'll be gutted if I don't get one. My appointment is at 8:45 in the morning so I'll hopefully be able to post news around 9:30 or so. I have heard that this doctor often runs really late though.

I went to Old Navy and bought a pair of maternity leggings and yoga pants. I can't fit into maternity tops yet. Even the smalls are too big for me. so I'm just buying regular tops for now. I can't wait to look like a full fledged preggo.

 

[heart tree]

Em, what time is your scan?

Hopeful, I can't even imagine going in without even hearing the heart beats. I'd be so much more anxious if that were the case. You are a strong woman.

 

[Embo78]

6pm heart. I think that's about 10 in the morning your time?? Not sure!!

 

[ttclou25]

Hun your scan will go fine, I still have scan nerves everytime, I hope they do get you a scan tho so it puts your mind at ease. Agggghhh tho that's the evening for us to wait for in uk.
