PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[shocker]

Sorry I've not been on the thread much, had a really rough day yesterday, i was having really bad cramps and hadnt had them in a while and then I couldnt find the heartbeat on my doppler and I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that something had happened like a really strong feeling and I just thought thats it, its over! So this morning i went for an emergency scan, still feeling a bit of pain and baby was perfectly fine, measuring exactly on dates with a good strong heartbeat. Im so unbelievably grateful to the nurses who calmed me down and gave me a chat and a hug, the sonographer told me at this point i have a 95% chance of not miscarrying, this sounds a little bit over generous if you ask me but im not gonna complain because it was good to hear!

Great news, Shocker, and I have actually read that statistic too, in several places... that by this far along, if you've seen a heartbeat and all is well, miscarriages only happen around 5% of the time.

I've read those statistics too, I'm sure it's right! Baby is perfect! I've been reading your journal and your awful MS I've been going through the same sounds like we're both on med's to settle it! Xx

Hi ladies! Glad I found this section, as I can relate to so many of you! Great to feel not so alone!

A little intro about me! I'm 31, was on BCP, so definitely wasn't trying, when I missed my period, and things just wasn't right, I took a HPT at 6+4, and got my very first ever BFP and literally cried for two whole days, as I wasn't ready...

After the shock wore off, I became super excited and wanted nothing more in life then my baby...

It was rocky from the start though, but after my first scan at 8+ week where I got to see my baby and his heartbeat, I rested easy....

Until the following week, where i had a follow up scan...and I will never forget looking at the black hole....Never in my life had someone merely uttered two words to me, "I'm sorry" that I completely broke down.

I miscarried naturally April 2.

My period came April 30...

And you betcha, I TTC right away. I knew I was pregnant 3 DPO and started to get symptoms...and yeap, I was pregnant.

This pregnancy too, had a rocky start, as I was told from the get go my HCG levels were too low, and then my baby's HB was too low.

However, My last hcg at 29 dpo, or 5+6, was 15,781, and my last scan at 6+6 my baby had a heart rate of 125!

Now.. The waiting game, as my next scan won't be until 7/27!!

Here's to sticky beans for us all!

Glad everything is ok . and I heard similar statistics (I actually read it drops to like only 2%, but I'm not sure if that takes into account previous history). I will be happy to see a HB at 9 weeks, and while I won't feel COMPLETELY at ease, I will be awfully relieved!

 

[LilyLee]

Glad to hear everything is going well Shocker! I was told the 5% statistic too when I saw bub with a HB at 7+3 - I have heard the chances are even lower if you see a HB after 8 weeks. Will try and dig up where I saw this and post it for you.

Welcome Looloobelle, LuvMy3Babies and BabyDragon - I have added your names to the front page. BabyDragon if you can please confirm your EDD I can update that too.

AFM 8 weeks today! Seems like quite a milestone. I don't know why but my ticker seems to tick over sometime in the middle of the day. I'm hanging out to see that raspberry! I didn't get that far with my last pregnancy.

Feeling pretty good. MS is very mild compared to my MC and most days I feel fine. I had my bookin in appt with the midwife yesterday which was kinda fun - I enjoyed being able to just talk about my pregnancy the whole time lol. Apparently my OB converted 'What to Expect when you're Expecting' for the Australian market, and wrote the foreword etc. He must definitely know what he's doing lol!

 

[Looloobelle]

Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm so pleased to be here after my scan yesterday. I'm still buzzing!!

My MS is the worst during the night - if I wake up I feel ill. And first thing until I've eaten - so not really enjoying a lie in at the moment, not that I get many with a five year old lol!!

Lily - your ticker is now a raspberry yay!!

 

[LilyLee]

Woohoo! ( to raspberry, not MS. Boo to MS)

Lol I thought I was "billy no mates" with no stalkers, I will have to take a look and try and fix it! I never expected it this bad either it's awful my neighbours listened to me puke till 1am I guess they think I'm an alcoholic that can't hold her drink LOL! I managed to sleep till 5 and then the MS started again, I've managed a burger this afternoon I was starving and it's stayed put so far xxx

 

[Diamonddust]

Woohoo! ( to raspberry, not MS. Boo to MS)

Wooooohooooooo! Xxxxx

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Waiting to be released from the er. Had a bit of a freak out....... Went to the washroom and discovered I was spotting. Thank god everything is ok though. Beta at 29000 & heart rate at 139. Can I please just fast forward to my second trimester.

 

[AllMacsNow]

Glad everything is ok, Blue. I'm right there with you on the fast-forward!

 

[PerpetualMama]

Woohoo! ( to raspberry, not MS. Boo to MS)

yay to a bigger fruit I think I'm a blueberry at 7+1?

Yes, MS does stink. I hate waking up in the middle of the night. I (finally) got to enjoy some serious dry heaves this morning, which brought me back to April of 1997 when I was pg with my last DD. I was so happy to feel that normally pregnant! Although it took all day stufffing my face to keep them at bay. Just like a newborn, eating every 2 hours...haha

Hope evryone is having a wonderful weekend!

lucky you! I'm glad you were able to get out there and do something enjoyable (I love camping)
I am currently "enjoying" some down time before DH returns home from clamming with his brother-in-law. I have accomplished church and a pan full of dishes, oh, and eating some food. Little else though. I am thoroughly exhausted, and have not felt so useless in a long time. I know there are things to get done, I just don't have an ounce of energy to deal with any of it. I think losing 2 hours of sleep in the middle of the night has really done me in. still grateful to feel so dreadful

I'm 7 + 2 and have had that wonderful experience 2 days in a row . I get up in the am and get ready while I wait for it to happen, then start the eating. (I learned that trickwiafter my first one- that way I don't loose breakfast and have to start all over ) I need more food here, but can't seem to bring myself to go food shopping. The thought of all that food and the smells makes me want to wretch
