PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[PerpetualMama]

It is so scary isn't it? I had my first loss (first pregnancy) in January. I was thought to be 12 weeks but the baby only measured 7.5 weeks.

I am 6 + 1 today and I am so worried. I don't have any morning sickness, no nausea or tender breasts and that makes me worry even more.

were you sick with your first pregnancy? I remember my firts pregnancy (22 years ago ) and I don't remember tender breasts at all. I didn't feel pregnant until I started throwing up at 6 or 7 weeks, then I was in constant contact with a bathroom. I had to be sick in the moring then eat virtually non-stop til bed time. Big as a house when I finally had her hahahahah.
My son (5) I threw up once or twice maybe, but had the hunger and nausea if I didn't eat enough. I think each pregnancy is different. Maybe you're one of the lucky 30% who doesn't get sick? Praying here you have a sticky bean sweetheart
Aside from hunger and brief nauseous moments I haven't been sick, but I'm a week behind. We're still pretty early on.

Hope everyone is having a great saturday!
As far as my nausea today-seems to have eased up a lot! As far as sore (*)(*)s, mine arent sore axtually, not like they were.. I can not let myself stress about it or the fact that I have this occasional pinchibg around my c/section scar...

I apologize for mt bad typos-on my phone . Lol

Welcome flutterbaby!
I know where you're coming from, I carried 5 just fine before I lost number 6, and now I am also on edge. It's all consuming . Once you experience what can happen it is no longer the "unknown" or "it'll never happen to me" because it has. Hang in there friend. I don't how long this anxiety about it will last, but here's hoping we all make it through our 9 month journey . Day by day, one step at a time right?

Welcome Flutter!
Many prayers hun
Loss is as stressful as ttc I think.. You wait and wait for 2 lines and then when hyou see them you are left fear and anxiety.. I too worry hun as do all the ladies hete.. Remember to try and not worry easier said than done, and I ought to follow my own advice..lol

I had an early scan at a walk in nhs epu, there are a few that do scans for maternal reassurance if you've had a mc in the past, I got mine in london, not sure where you are but worth looking into, you can also ask your gp to refer you for an early scan just be honest and tell her how anxious you are

 

[flutterbaby]

i've got the number for the epu from last time so i'll call them direct first i have a crap doctors i think i'll feel better when i've done 8 weeks and f=reached the 12 weeks scan well i hope i will im more scared about bleeding tho i bled with all my boys then nothing untill mc with the last one nothing so far should i be worried or not

 

[debzie]

Flutterbaby welcome and sorry for your loss. After each of my mmcs I was not referred for an early scan it I was only after a period of spotting. In our area we dont have a walk in your GP has to refer.

I got my scan this time through the recurrent miscarriage consultant. Its tomorrow morning at 6+3 I know for a fact that the midwives are going to question me being there as they wont scan before 7 weeks I got a mouthful the last time I went at 6+4 like it was my fault.

 

[Lucky4]

Goodluck debzie with your scan tomorrow, hope you're not too anxious.
I have a scan on Thursday at 7+4. so scared I'll fall apart if not a good result. I feel sick all day if I don't eat enough and tired.....but I know that doesn't mean all is well.

 

[LilyLee]

Good luck for your scan Debzie! Let us know how you go.

I have my early scan on Saturday. Can't wait!

 

[debzie]

Morning ladies, I feel one step closer to my rainbow...........

Scan this morning, I am measuring 6 weeks (-3 days but thats fine) and heartbeat seen. Only concern is a small area of bleeding around sac. Consultant not too concerned about this though.

 

[Storm7]

Lovely news Debzie. Knowing there is a heartbeat must be slightly reassuring. I have booked a private scan when I will be over 7 weeks as I don't qualify for an NHS one.

On a side note it looks like you and I live quite close - I live near Bishop Auckland.

 

[Diamonddust]

Hi ladies, hope you've had a lovely weekend, just reading through and a notice people are getting 3+ on their tests at 5 weeks and a few days, I took a digi yesterday and I'm still showing 2-3 should I be worried? Progestorone at day 21 was nice and high 84 and I've got an early scan for Wednesday next week but it's ages away! Maybe I am being silly it maybe I am out on my dates because of the clomid?

 

[hope88]

Thats great debzie so happy for you, i hope we all get our rainbow babys. Wish i could get a early scan. Are you allowed another scan to check on baby or is your next one 12 weeks?

 

[flutterbaby]

great news debzie
diamond i wouldn't worry about the 2-3 or 3 plus the tests are out anyway if its twins it and say 3 plus when your only 1 week it's how concentrated your wee was in that tinkle lol so try not to drive yourself crazy i know it can be hard

i was gonna phone the epu today but my mom showed up and i dont want her to know yet i dont think cope with me bleeding again

 

[debzie]

Storm I'm from Shildon so yeah we are very close. X

Hope i have another scan in three weeks to keep an eye on the bleed and my first and second mmc I saw hearbeats at 6 weeks then they stopped. Furthest I have got was 8 weeks. So if the next scan at 9 weeks is good then this could be my rainbow.

Flutter those tests atw notorious for being wrong. Try not to worry too much hun.

YAY! I am so happy for you Debzie

 

[Lucky4]

Great news debzie- this is a BIG step closer to your dream

 

[hope88]

Debzie. Same here ive never got further than 8 weeks after seeing heartbeat. I got my fingers crossed for you i really hope this is your rainbow baby.

 

[PerpetualMama]

I have to wait almost 3 1/2 weeks for my first OB appt, and won't get a scan til some time after that. I guess how soon will depend on how booked they are. I will be 9 + weeks by then. I'm absolutely terrified because I lost the last one somewhere between 7 and 8 weeks after an early scan at 7 weeks showed all was good. I guess having the later scan is good, that much closer to 13 weeks. I do remember being scared with each and every early scan I had with ALL of my kids. You're so afraid there won't be a baby there, or that it won't have a h/b...and I try not to obsess over it. I'm actually letting myself be happy about it a little. I know I would be crushed if it ends badly, but I can't spend the next 7 weeks trying to stay distant. I have so much that will have to be dealt with if the baby is ok, school may not be possible, we have no sitter, and we'll have to figure out where we'll eventually PUT the baby (the house is quite full with 7 of us living here). But I refuse to wrack my brains about any of it and worry until I know all is well. I WANT to have to wrack my brains and figure it all out. I'm sure it will all come into place when the time comes.
On a semi-good note, I almost passed out at work this morning (yes I WAS on a ladder and had to get down!) That actually made me feel more pregnant than just the constant desire to and the sour stomach.

I hope you all are well, and good luck on your scans ladies! Praying for all of you daily, and that these scans come out perfect!
