PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[Diamonddust]

Just found out my scan is next Wednesday at 9.15, feel so scared. Had to go through speaking with a booker that said they wouldn't usually do it for "just" one miscarriage. How dare she, there is no such thing as just a miscarriage, losing a baby, by finding out at your 12w scan etc is nothing to be minimalised.

Stupid receptionist/booker obviously needs a lesson in bedside manor and a kick up the arse into knowing how we feel after a loss, 1 is enough for any of us and there are some ladies who have to endure it more than that! EPU have a rule of only after 3 are you allowed and early scan stupid rules! Good luck at your scan I'm sure it will be perfect and look forward to seeing the pictures. Xxx

Perpetual, I had a spotting/bleeding dream this morning too. I sure hope some day we can all relax.

Then I wonder if I'll EVER stop being a chronic TP checker... and think... not after a dream like that. Are you guys still doing this? It's like I literally can't stop myself. A very few times since we found out, I made a concerted effort and was able to NOT check, and was so proud of myself... but the next time, I always backslide and check.

And NT, I'm so sorry your booker was like that. You'd think that anyone working in a position like that would KNOW how hard this all is, and show a little compassion.

Diamond, I hope that your meds help with the MS, and it's so nice to hear your boss is being so good about it.

Hi all

i have been silently stalking not even daring to post.

I'm Lucy, 32 and pregnant with my rainbow after two ectopics. i had a scan two weeks ago which identified my bean had made it to the right place this time, but did not have a heartbeat. i've gone back today after the longest two weeks of my life and my baby is there, heartbeat, head and the beginnings of little limbs. I'm soo happy.

I'm still terrified by so far there is no indication of any problems, everything is as it should be. So I'm going to try and embrace and enjoy this pregnancy as i don't want to look back on it and remember only anxiety and worries.

I also have a dd who is five and desperate to become a big sister - little does she know of how long we've being trying to even get this far.

So here I am - 8+1 and due 7th Feb 2013.....

Always checking, but I've managed to not touch a test in well over a week, pointless as I've got the 3+ now so can't really go any higher! I'm always paranoid especially when I get up the middle of the night, that's when my spotting started before so I am super paranoid then! Xxx

So I just received the results (all the measurements) of my us yesterday and I am thrilled! On Monday the babies ctr measurement was 4.17 which = 6w 1d. Yesterday 3 days later the crown to rump measurement was 9.18 which= 7w 1d. My lil peanut is growing so fast! I wonder how much bigger he/she will be at my next us Monday.

Welcome looloobelle congratulations hun. You are a day ahead of me. So glad all.is well with your scans.

Sorry so many of you are feeling ill.

I have been so busy with work and decorating that I have not been on here for a while. 8 weeks today and nausea is easing I just keep letting short of breath now checked my blood presdure at work and its on the high side of normal. That freaked me out as pregnancy hormones are suppose to drop not elevate bp. Feel so tired today.

 

[Diamonddust]

Thanks diamond.
I am so on right now.

Of course you are that's a huge growth spurt! I was measuring 7.2 at 6+5 so your little bean is bundles ahead I truly am so pleased for you, hopefully all of this wonderful news will keep you settled and relaxed

[AllMacsNow]

Wow, so much good news on this thread today! Congrats and welcome, Looloo and Luv!

And BlueEyes... what a growth spurt. Awesome.

I am so so happy for everyone.

Wiggler, I'm sorry about the dreams I've only had 2 so far, and know how badly they threw off my days. I can't imagine having them every night. I hope they ease up for you!

 

[PerpetualMama]

woke up at 3:30 am from a nightmare that I was spotting and starting to mc. Forget going back to sleep after that! This is going to be a long day!

On the brighter side, DH is actually starting to "get used to the idea" that we're expecting again, and has been thinking of names! I ruled out the girls name because it's the same one he mentioned during my last pregnancy after I had already started to bleed (I guess he had beeen trying to comfort me by pretending it would all be ok?) I don't even want that name on the table

Oh what a horrible dream! I hate how vivid dreams have got I thought my OH's shoulder was a yappy dog and I bit him (OH that is) im certain when you start to relax and get to the 12 weeks mark everything will be plain sailing and you will dream about the nursery and what he/she will look like, your buba is going to be perfect just like everyone else's xxx

Yup, you made me cry silly pg hormones
thank you

welcome Looloobelle! I'm glad your little one found a good place to nestle in, and is growing away

Wiggler, I am an habitual TP checker, and I don't think I'll get any better, maybe not even after 12 weeks. Yesterday I was as far along as I was when I got my good scan with the mc. I realized while trying to go to sleep that it was also a Thursday, and Sunday night started the bleeding. Sooo, I expect Sunday I'll be a bundle of nerves. Not that I'll be relaxed after Sunday either. Good scan at 9 + weeks will help signifciantly

NT...doctor's office people suck sometimes. To them it is so commonplace it probably doesn't even register anymore. About a week after my mc they brought me in to see me, and they put me in the one room that has this huge chart of all the stages of prenatal growth. So, I was sitting on the table staring at this chart thinking "this is what my baby would have looked like". I am now complete and utter basket case when the nurse walks in and I'm crying. I asked her to put me in another room and she tells me to look at the chart as something that is to come, not as something that I lost." I felt like slapping her, but instead told her that the baby had been a random chance thing, and DH wasn't going to actively try again, and if she didn't move me I was walking out. I am so sorry you had to deal with insensitive people. Here's praying for a good scan for you next week!

Blue eyes: Yay for growing baby!! I love to hear that!
