PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[rosebud111]

hi all! congrats on all the recent positive scans! i am starting to get really nervous, my scan is in 2 days and i am freaking out! one minute i feel everything is ok and this time it's meant to be and the next i'm thinking omg she isn't going to find anything and it will be another mc. i am praying and praying for a positive outcome.

the past few days my nausea has been bad. so far this morning it is ok though. i feel the same as some of you like you ladies and would rather have the nausea so i have an indicator that all is well!

i love that some of you have been able to find your baby's hb on home dopplers. i am thinking of renting one now! that would be so reassuring!

Rose - I feel your anxiety, I was petrified leading up to my early scan. I hope you have a positive experience. The anxiety was worth the constant smile I've had since!

Shocker - that's great finding the ehartbeat. I think I'm going to rent one too as I don't get a scan now until I'm 20weeks. No way I can wait until then to find out all is well. So think that I need a doppler until I can start feeling movement.

If I have the NT testing I get a scan at 12 weeks, but I think having a scan is the wrong reason for having it. What do you all think? One minute I think that I'll have a it done, get to see bubs again and also (hopefully) put my mind at rest. But then the other part of me is worried that I will be high risk, there's no way I'd have the amnio after getting this far with a healthy pregnancy, so will just be even more anxious than I already am about this pregnancy.... Any thoughts anyone?

Just leaving for my early scan, I know it's probably the wrong approach but my head tells me I'm getting a negative result and anything beyond that can only be a shock

Good luck hun x x x

Woooooooohoooooo You better have a huge smile planted on that face! I'm so pleased for you! Xxx

Almost 8 weeks!!! Wish I could keep my food down though! Any one got any cravings yet? I'm loving meat somosas but I like them anyway so not sure they are a craving as such! I think I'm going to book a private scan for the week after next, I'm not sure I can wait another 4 1/2 weeks to see the baby again!

 

[shocker]

I am loving all the good news on this thread right now! Congrats NT on your scan that is fab!

Diamonddust i had a craving for mcdonalds the other day but it turned out to be a trick! lol was sick nearly as soon as i ate it! Other than that its mostly been croissants with jam or yoghurt, they stay down and theyre yummy! 4 1/2 weeks can feel like an absoloute lifetime in first tri i'd say go for it! I had my midwife appointments and scan date posted to my old house so going to pick up my mail tomorrow and hoping i havnt missed anything!

Had a really negative dream last night, wont go into it as it was upsetting but when i woke I was really upset, got out the doppler and 2 minutes later im lying there listening to baby tell me loud and clear to stop being so silly! I have to admit that thing is the best £20 ive ever spent, its been so reassuring!

Congrats on the great scans x

I seem to be the opposite of all you ladies I'm having really bad as (all day sickness) I dont really find this reassuring I had bad ms with my first loss right up past 11 weeks an baby had stopped growing at 6! x

MrsKG can your doctor not give you an early scan to keep and eye on things and put your mind at ease? I have really bad all day sickness too, I've been signed off work this week, ive not worked since Royal Ascot week, 18-23 my boss has been pretty nice to me about it, I'd like to go back on Monday but who knows

 

[Looloobelle]

Congrats on the scan NT! It really is the best feeling seeing that heartbeat.

I haven't had any cravings as such, I just feel ill on a morning until I eat. If I wake early in bed I could wretch, but so far have managed not to be sick. I think if I went to the toilet and "gave in" to the feeling, I'd probably be sick!

Hey ladies its great to see lots of great scans have been happening.

I got alittle problem my scans on friday and i dont want my partner to come in with me i no that sounds so selfish but when i had a early scan booked last pregnancy i just had this feeling that i needed to go in alone because i thought its going to be bad news so i made him wait outside and turned out baby had weak heartbeat i went bk a week later and made him wait outside again bcoz i knew it would be bad news and it was he later told me he was pissed off that i wouldnt let him in. Now im pg and im facing another early scan i really want to go in alone incase its bad news i no how selfish that sounds because its our baby and not just mine but im so used to facing bad things by myself. i keep thinking that if i dont let him come in then he doesnt have to stand there and see his baby with no heartbeat but if the babys healthy and alive il feel even worst that i didnt let him come in.
Im quite a private person and like to let my emotions out in private and im thinking if he comes in with me and its bad news im gonna break down

God i feel like such a bitch should i just tell him to come in and just deal with it
Because if it was the other way round id be really upset if i couldnt go to my babys scan

sweets your privicy goes out the window when your pregnant, your going to have all sorts go on, and trust me its better to have someone with you, to be honest they wont let you see the screen till they know whats going on, my other half held my hand so tightly when we went for a scan and it was so important he was there with me, he saw the baby before the tech did and it was wonderful his face lit up, I could never take that away fom him!

Also it's hard for the men, they dont get to bond as we do, taking this away from him may not be a good idea, you need to think it through before you make a proper decision.

Diamond I have an early scan on 16th they wont do it any earlier because we saw a hb in jan at 8+5 baby was fine but sac wasn't growing x on the other side of things I was sick the whole way through with my youngest had to take meds right up till day I had her so think I'll call doc an ask about meds x

My epu have a separate screen an ask if you want to look straight away I've always said yes then im prepared before they even say anything x

Hope I know how you feel my hubby been with me a coup,e of times an watching his pain an anger is so hard I had my friends with me some times too an that was easier then I called hubby x this time hes on holiday so he'll be there I'm dreading bad news more for him x I really think you should have you hubby with you though esp if he wants to be there you have to go through this good and bad together

Thats a bit posh, 2 screens, we only have one here so maybe thats why, the tech turned it right towards her, I couldnt see a thing, OH could see the screen, I was watching his face for a sign! The doctor has put me on meds, truthfully i've been petrified to take them, i know that there is hadly any risk of the meds hurting the baby, otherwise they woudnt give them to me, but I am like what If so i've been going through hell from choice really as I dare not run the risk, I know the doctor wont be happy with me, but I am managing to keep most fluids down and I am keeping an eye making sure I am hydrated!
