Deb I hope the scan goes well for you, thinking of you

It is so hard isn't it being preggers after a loss? I've been panicking again as my ms seems to have eased off a bit - my head tells me to get a grip and that it doesn't mean anything but it's hard not to worry

I was trying to explain to OH last night that there never seems to be a happy medium, if I've got ms I feel like poo and am miserable and if I don't have ms I'm worrying that something is wrong

Tell them to hurry up and get that bloody bed ready at Millbrook Neen!

its very odd that i feel like this towards being preg now, i have 2 kids and feel preg easily both time and no complication i call it text book pregnancy (apart from server sickness)
but since them iv had 4 MC and now being pregnant just scares life from me daily all day its odd coz my last 2 full term pregnancy's i dont even think MC crossed my mind....i so wish i could be like that again, although as the days pass from my af date im feeling more relaxed and now quite sick argh lol but yay for beans sticking girls

 

[Swanny]

Can I join please? Think I'm due around the 25th April. Newly pregnant after 3 previous m/c's and absolutely terrified!!!

It doesnt get any easier the further you get, you get past 12 weeks and this "phew im safer now" then the mind goes into overdrive into all the screening tests etc at 20weeks, im dreading my 20week scan more than the first one where we were desperate to see a HB. Ive bonded with him now and wouldnt know what do do with myself.

Does that make sense ???

 

[petitpas]

to Deb!!!!!!!

There really must have been something in the air, but then again it was full moon and that is known to cause loss of sleep. As for me, I sat bold upright in the middle of the night and ran to the bathroom only to figure out that I only DREAMED that ms had set in
Got woken way too early by my room neighbour's repetitive country music alarm sound (which he/she did not switch off for a good twenty minutes I have you know!). The joys of travelling!

Big hugs and kisses to everyone else who needs them today xxxx

totally makes sense hunny

thing is with my fear is not the scans as realistically iv had 1 scan that iv not seen a heart beat on but with my 2 kids i had loads of scans and everything was great, so i had more great scans that bad in past so i dont fear them at all BUT its the actual MC itself that scares me because realistically iv had more MC now than live babies so the MC out weighs the live babies hence giving me the FEAR, now does that make sense?? probs not but it so hard to explain i just think its crazy how everyone of us has experienced a loss or multiple losses yet we all fear the same thing but differently

Jenny hunny back to u huns i know the feeling about wanting hug everyone today, why are we all so far apart in the living world

 

[Beadette]

Yes it makes sense! We all have different fears. Before I started spotting last Thursday the thought of bleeding or having a normal mc did not enter my mind at all. My fear was that like the last two times I would consider myself happily pregnant with no cause for concern until my world crashed down at the first scans. I've had 5 scans in the past 6-7 months and not one has been good news! I'm hoping my luck has changed!! X

 

[babysimpson]

The bleeding has started up again for me and it's fresh. Now needing to wear a pad ( Called EPAU as GP never got back yesterday and they said it's too early for a scan and they wouldn't be able to tell if it was good or bad. They are going by my past as I didn't lose until at least 7wks (1st time) so she's saying it's probably implantation bleeding and to try and relax as much as I can. She said it was up to me whether to stay on at work or not but I'm sitting at a desk 99% of the time so can relax any more than that.

I've not had a successful pregnancy so this just seems the norm to me. Sorry for moaning about it. There are many of you who have gone through a lot worse. Eight days to wait to find out if it's another MC on the way (if it hasn't happened before then)

 

[debgreasby]

Ok, i'm back.

Scan was perfect .. bubs is now measuring spot on 8+6 .. am so relieved. Obviously not out of the woods yet, but the fact that my dates match now make me feel a bit better.

Still going to see the doc later .. i need to sort myself out, i'm no use to DH or the kids while i'm so down and scared all the time.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Hugs to those who need them x

 

[lovehearts]

so so glad the scan went well deb. Had you already had one? I have major worries about my date being out by 2 days even though i know when i ovulated. iv tried to book a private scan for next week but everywhere is full!

babyattempt3 - i hope the bleeding stops soon and it is just implantation.

[debgreasby]

Lovehearts - i had a scan at 7 weeks and they said i was 6+1, so 6 days out which was a worry for me as the same happend in my last pregnancy. 2 days out i wouldn't be too worried x

 

[Tulip]

Oh girls we are having a combined wobble today aren't we? for each and every one of you. Glad bubs is measuring correctly Deb, I totally freaked out when I saw Patsy's status and couldn't get on BnB thinking you'd had bad news. Hope the doc helps xx

Patsy - you impatient young minx! I'll update everyone now.

Babyattempt, best of luck to you, hope all turns out to be IB xx

Love all round xxx

 

[Beadette]

I'm worried aout measurig out too. I'm going to be 6+6 by LMP but probably only 6+2 by O - am worried that they'll say there is nothing to see. Will be so stressful x

Can I join please? Think I'm due around the 25th April.

Welcome!

My fear was that like the last two times I would consider myself happily pregnant with no cause for concern until my world crashed down at the first scans.

See I've had both experiences - bleeding out of the blue and miscarrying and thinking everything was fine (symptoms etc) and finding out at an early scan it was over. At the moment I'm quite zen about it all, no matter how much I test, prod my boobs, think I'm feeling sick, worry whenever I go to the loo they'll be blood, it's not going to make a blind bit of difference to the end result. All i've got to do is have faith that it's my time and everything will be fine.

The bleeding has started up again for me and it's fresh. Now needing to wear a pad ( Called EPAU as GP never got back yesterday and they said it's too early for a scan and they wouldn't be able to tell if it was good or bad.

I hope the bleeding eases and its just a false alarm.

Scan was perfect .. bubs is now measuring spot on 8+6 .. am so relieved. Obviously not out of the woods yet, but the fact that my dates match now make me feel a bit better.

Brilliant news! I'm sure everything will be fine, please just try and chill out a bit. I know it's easier said than done but it'll help in the long run

 

[Beadette]

Deb, did you go back to EPU? Was that a referral through your doc? Can I ask i you had an internal or abdominal scan both times? Sorry for all the questions Deb x

 

[debgreasby]

Deb, did you go back to EPU? Was that a referral through your doc? Can I ask i you had an internal or abdominal scan both times? Sorry for all the questions Deb x

It was a referral from MW to EPU. My normal MW is off, so i phoned the other one to see when she'd be back and had a total breakdown over the phone. She got me the scan to reassure me bless her. Poor woman was in the middle of a meeting too!

Just done battle with the receptionist at my doctors' to get put on the duty list for this afternoon. Apparently they can fit me in on the 6th ... erm NO! i was told i need to be seen TODAY stupid bint!!!!

It was a tummy scan both times... the girl doing the scans now has just trained, so she's really thorough. (she can't find ovaries very well though lol) and she has another person in with her double checking, so you get 2 people for the price of one!

 

[Beadette]

I'm thinking they may need to do an internal scan because they did both other times. Part of me is thinking its not such a good idea to have this scan tomorrow as it may cause more worry than reassurance if they measure me out. I'm working myself up again! Argh! x

 

[debgreasby]

I know what u mean hunni .. but look at it this way, if u are measuring small u get another scan in a week or 2 and hopefully bubs will have caught up

 

[lovehearts]

Prgirl - this quote from you is so true 'it's not going to make a blind bit of difference to the end result. All i've got to do is have faith that it's my time and everything will be fine.' i am going to repeat this to myself several times a day!

thanx deb. Im glad you measured right now. The lady that scanned me did say that its hard to measure when they are so small and that it could be 5 days either side of that. Im tempted to call my midwife and try and get reassurance scan but worried they will take my 12 week one away
