PAL Fall 2011 ***26 Healthy Babies***

Great news fides!! Pip I'm sorry they won't give u a reassurance scan, that's crap. Is paying for an early scan an option? I had an early scan for reassurance but also paid for a private babybond one before my dating scan. Best£100 ever spent!!xxx

I have been considering it Aquarius. The only thing stopping me is that I had a scan at 8w 2d with my first and saw the heartbeat. The day after I miscarried. Part of me thinks that if I get a scan around 12 weeks and see a heartbeat then there's a pretty good chance I'll make it to term.

There are a couple of places that do scans near me - Babybond for £100 and another place (whose name escapes me for £65).

Aww pip well I can see how difficult the decision is. I see Yr around that time now. I've had 2 mc but all the scans I had showed nothing in there so to see a bubba n heartbeat one day n then lose the next must have been heartbreaking. If u could hold out till Yr dating scan it may be best or maybe books pte scan around 10 weeks?? The first 12 weeks of this pregnancy was the hardest but getting past that point it got easier xxxx

Thanks Aquarius. Tbh I'm taking this pregnancy a day at a time. If I feel an overwhelming need for a scan I'll try and book one privately. Patience is not something I'm known for!!

Pip the same thing happened to me last time, two days after a scan and it all looking ok, there was no heartbeat. I waited until 12 weeks for my scan this time as I decided what would be would be and I couldn't face seeing the baby and then something happening. My scan at 12 weeks went well, baby was three days behind where I thought but happily kicking away. It was a long 12 weeks but my midwife said that their should be no reason to miscarry this time and that it was good to wait until 12 weeks as normally if their was going to be a problem it would come to light prior to this.

I found the last two weeks of waiting the hardest. Good luck with it all. xx

Thanks hippy. I understand where you are coming from. I think I just want to hold out for as long as possible. I'm having really bad nausea 24/7, bloat, constipation and extreme fatigue so at the moment I'm focusing on all that as being positive and trying not to worry about what if. Today I feel very pregnant. Hopefully tomorrow I will too. As each tomorrow comes and goes I'm a day closer to holding a live baby in my arms and not a dead baby in my hand.

And good luck with the announcement fides, i hope everyone will be very happy for you.

We have made our announcements now. There may be the odd person who doesn't know yet but i'm sure that won't be the case for long with my growing belly!

In fact i'm in work tonight and having to wear scrubs as my regular tunic just won't fit

So excited to be in 2nd trimester now though

 

[bluejoyx]

Hello ladies, I hope you are all well and 'glowing' now you are starting to enter the second trimester. I have not posted for quite a while as i have been so ill i have hardly been able to get out of bed and have been off work for a month with morning sickness and tiredness. I have my dateing scan last Thursday and my dates were exactly right. The baby was moving so much the sonographer struggled to get measurements, it was very cute and sucking its fingers. We have now told our 4 year old who is very excited but is a bit worried that when i eat the food will land on the babys head lol. I hope you ladies are all well and those who still have their dateing scans to come i hope all goes smoothly. x x x

 

[shelleney]

Sorry to hear you have been so unwell Bluejoy. But glad to hear that your scan went so well. Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself
xx

 

[hippylittlej]

glad you are feeling a little better blue. I love the ways kids visualise things, because as far as your 4 year old is concerned the food has to hit the baby, bless
