PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[heart tree]

Grapey, if you are newly pregnant, 5 weeks is far too early to see a fetal pole. You should definitely see a fetal pole by the next scan if this is a new pregnancy. I really hope it is for you

 

[Grapey]

Thank you everyone for all your support and kind words i really appreciate them. Hopeful2345 this was my 2nd mc and i only had light bleeding for 2 weeks. The first one was much worse as i was rushed into hospital and very narrowly avoided blood transfusions due to how much and how fast i lost the blood. I think that is why i thought everything was ok this time especially after seeing the heart beat. I keep my fingers crossed that the new sac is a new pregnancy.

 

[Grapey]

Thank you for your words of encouragement heart tree i have my fingers crossed and will inform everyone of the outcome of the scan on monday

 

[jenny25]

Wow I've started feeling super rubbish blah xx

 

[bumpyplease]

good luck to everyone that has scans today - i hope they all go wonderfully!

heart - i noticed you put my NT scan down as 15th April, its 5th

 

[petitpas]

Oooh, heart, I can't wait to hear how your facebook announcement goes!
I got fed up with waiting three weeks ago and just posted a picture of my fuller figure.

Grapey, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you and am sending you much strength to get through the next week

The image of dogs with snoring strips made me laugh out loud!!!

Lou, thinking of you and thinking speedy eviction thoughts for your baby

 

[petitpas]

Oh, and hugs to all the ladies on the lurgy. I'm just about getting over mine

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Lou- I hope those contractions pick up and get stronger! Come on baby!

Heart- Have a great scan today! I never scheduled mine, I'm trying to put it off until Thursday when I'm 9 weeks. I should just call and make it for Thurs morning, but then I won't have the option of getting it earlier if I get nervous. I guess I just like having the control.

Grapey- Would be lovely if its a new pregnancy, hun. So sorry for your losses.

AFM- I feel like garbage today, very nauseous. I felt great last night, we went to a card party in town, but at about 4am I woke up feeling so sick! Also I'm very angry! Hubby decided to make a facebook announcement of our pregnancy this morning, without even telling me! I feel like he's stolen this pregnancy right out from under me. He told the kids the moment I told him without talking to me first, now he tells the whole world without my involvement!
I'm glad he'd excited and thinks everything will be fine, but I really wanted to do something cute and clever. Now he's ruined it!

Morning ladies - just popping in to see what's going on with Lou...still praying that little man decides to make a quick appearance.

We made our announcement on FB after our 13 week mark and scan went well. I had been very open about our losses so I didn't make a point to mention them, but I knew that people knew. The only thing I said was that we are expecting a baby rather that we were going to have a baby. I just felt it sounded too presumptuous considering our history. I know that however the announcement is made, your friends and family will be thrilled for you. I hated keeping it a secret so I was really glad to have other people praying for us and our little bean.

But I understand why you would be frustrated with your hubs Mom. I guess I should be more appreciative that my hubs doesn't have facebook so he couldn't do that!

[Mon_n_john]

Jen I love your lovely bump, so pretty!

 

[heart tree]

Well it was a pretty good scan but not perfect. The baby is perfect thank god. Still a girl. She's measuring spot on at 20+3. No problems at all. I didn't get great photos as she was very active. The not so perfect part is my cervix. It only measured 2.6. Anything under 2.5 they start to worry. I have to go back in two weeks to get it measured. It could mean preterm birth. I'm really shaken by this. The treatment options are progesterone and bedrest. I'd happily do both but I'd rather my cervix stay stable. I wish I didn't have to wait two weeks. I'm seeing my doctor on Friday and will see what she says. I'm guessing sex and exercise are a no go. Feeling somewhat deflated and drained by worry.

Heart - I am so sorry you have something like that to worry about. I am glad that baby girl is doing well though. I hope that having your mum here can mean that you have someone to take care of you for a bit in the waiting time. That does seem like a long time to make you wait. Did they start you on progesterone in the mean time? I am so sorry you have to worry, but I have a couple of friends who have had this issue but both babies were born at almost term and a week LATE. They were both on bed rest for months, but it worked and their little ones are just perfect. I think the key is early detection, so I am sure that the doctors will move swiftly if anything changes.

Thinking of you friend x
