Fili - I am soo sorry to hear about your last scan. I too have suffered mmc and it doesnt getting any easier. Please know that I am keeping you in my prayers and hope you find some peace. How is your DHhandling it?

 

[feeble]

I am starting to worry now, my scan is on Thursday and i am freaking out that everything isnt okay

that they will find out i am not pregnant at all or something... I have felt really preggers this last wee while but now i am starting to doubt myself, maybe its not okay? maybe i just wanted to be pregnant again so much that i lied to myself?

I keep doing HPTs and OPKs and both are coming back very very positive soon but i am SCARED still... i would love to think the 7 week scan will put me at ease and i suppose it will for a while... but i cannot imagine this pregnancy is going to be easy on my nerves!

 

[filipenko32]

Thanks bizzy, aww dh is being really strong and just wonderful really, I'm lucky that way if not in anyway pregnancy lucky! It's really great that you're doing so well bizzy you give me hope! X x x

Evening ladies - sorry I haven't been on here recently. I've been struggling with ms and haven't really been able to do anything constructive. I just wanted to wish you all a happy new year though so thought I'd pop on.

I'm so sad to come on here and hear your news Fili I'm so sorry honey. I'm thinking of you and your OH x

MrsMoo - I'm hoping that your spotting is nothing. Please let us know how you get on at your scan on Tuesday x

Feeble - bless you honey. I'm sure how you are feeling is completely normal. I'm sure everything is fine - it is completely normal to worry. It is just a few more days and I'm sure your scan will be fine and will reassure you. Keep us posted hon x

 

[feeble]

thanks struth (awesome name btw ) i will keep everyone informed x

 

[Mrskg]

Hey struth happy new yr x sorry to hear you're struggling with ms x I can sympathise I suffered really bad with it in my other pregnancies x today I just managed to stop myself being sick so think my ms is not far away from starting x are you trying anything for it x I bought anti sickness wrist bands from boots an they seemed to help only thing is if people don't know they will if they see you wearing them but maybe you could even just wear them in house x lucozade also helps me it helps raise sugar levels xxx

 

[Mrskg]

Feeble I am now realising this pal is going to be a complete different ballgame x i wish my scan was this week I stupidly booked it for 8wks thinking least then there will be no doubt but now wishing I'd booked it sooner x with my mmc baby stopped growing at 6 but I never found out till 12 I was still being sick and everything x so even my sore boobs tiredness nausea are not putting my mind at rest x got everything crossed for you xxx

 

[feeble]

its hard isnt it we got to 23 weeks before finding out anything was wrong so each scan is tainted. they will give me one at 23 weeks again... and a number before but i dont think any will give me much relief

perhaps getting bigger and feeling baby move will help x

 

[jd83]

So sorry your scan didn't go well, Fili I will keep fingers crossed that things will be okay with your rescan, especially with you having a tilted uterus. Maybe they just couldn't see it well enough.

I have been feeling very sick this weekend. Which is a relief, I suppose. I haven't been feeling sick at all, aside from nerves, since I started spotting 2 weeks ago. This weekend has been nothing but major nausea though! I go from feeling like I'm gonna throw up to being starving, then feeling like I'm gonna throw up as soon as I try to eat. How is everyone else doing? Everyone having a good new years?

 

[struth]

It is so worrying isn't it? I think my ms has meant that I have worried less this week - not because it is reassuring but just because I haven't been able to think of anything else really - it has been all consuming. However, I have my moments when it worries the crap out of me. We are going to book a scan at 8.5 weeks and hopefully that will see me though to 12 weeks.

Mrskg - I had one at 6 weeks and it did reassure but I definitely NEED another one before I can even begin to think of this as a pregnancy (if that makes sense). I'm sure if you can hold out until 8 weeks you will be more reassured than if you had had one earlier. I might try the boots bands - thanks for that. Nothing seems to work so far other than keeping my stomach from being empty and sleep. Everything (smells, thoughts of food, sight of food) makes me feel ill and I have it from waking to going to bed but I have realised that avoiding food just makes it worse. I had my mw appointment a week tomorrow so if I am still bad then I will ask her if there is anything I can have. I might nip to boots tomorrow - I'm happy to try anything!

 

[Mrskg]

I thought once we all passed what are our milestones the worry would stop but from reading others who are now heavily pregnant an they still check the toilet paper I think it might be that worry doesn't leave till ours babies are in our arms x I'm trying to be positive an remind myself whatever happens I can't change it I really want to believe this is my rainbow baby but at the same time I'm too scared to get too attached x oh the joys!

 

[filipenko32]

Yeah I think pal is so hard I wont believe I'm pregnant until they give me my baby! I'm extremely tired all the time, I've never known anything like it, I literally cannot keep my eyes open and have to keep going to bed. I went to bed at 6 and woke up at 9 but only because hubby woke me up as he didn't want me to mess up my sleep patterns bless. hope that's a good sign but doubt it.
Struth so glad you've got strong signs and bad morning sickness! I really hope this is it for you x x x

 

[Mrskg]

Oh yeah I meant to mention eating helps too x shame we don't feel like eating when feeling sick though eh! I have to force myself I find rice crispies easy to eat lol no smell x

Jd83 I saw on another post about leg pain being sign of eptopic I also thought this but my epu would not admit to me it was a symptom x wonder why x

 

[Mrskg]

Fili so glad you're still having symptoms really believe you will get good news at your next scan x when is it again x

 

[filipenko32]

Nxt week, I have to go back to my gp to get her to ring the epu to book me in! So i will ne going for an urgent doctor's appointment next tuesday and take it from there. Just read a story about a lady who saw an empty sac until 7.4 and her baby is 8 months old now. They gave her miscarriage leaflets and everything! I would just be amazed if that happens. Rice crispies sound good to me! X x x

Oh yeah I meant to mention eating helps too x shame we don't feel like eating when feeling sick though eh! I have to force myself I find rice crispies easy to eat lol no smell x

Jd83 I saw on another post about leg pain being sign of eptopic I also thought this but my epu would not admit to me it was a symptom x wonder why x

Leg numbness, moreso than leg pain, is a symptom. That's what I thought was worrisome for her.

Fili, I can't believe the tiredness either! Been falling asleep at around 8-9 every night! I don't think I fell asleep so early with my son, but maybe I'm just that much more tired from having to care for him and being preggo. lol. Fingers crossed for you

 

[Mrskg]

Up here we can book epu without doc x so glad you're reading positive stories an I k ow nothing about tilted uterus but think that could be the cause of your scan too by what other people have posted x lol at rice crispies come this time of I'm starving think I'll be the size of a bus before I know it I. Not normally a big eater think I've ate a months worth of my diet in a week lol xxx

Hey ladies! Just wanted to stop in & wish you all a beautiful & bright 2012! I'm praying hard for all of us...for our rainbow babies to stay with us!

I'm like you all...toggle between denail & fear everyday...don't have ms...wish I would...just extremely tired but don't let myself think that's great or anything! Right now I only have weekly or every 2 week hgc levels to keep me going as my Dr didn't think an early scan was needed! I'm scheduled only on Feb.7th which is my bday & I'll be 11weeks already! God its scary as hell but I figure last time I had a scan at 9weeks & the baby stopped growng at 8.5 so anything before that mark won't help me feel secure...actually anything before my baby is crying in my arms won't so I guess its one day at a time & a whole lotta prayer!

Lots of strength & love u guys
