PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

[mislaww]

Yay Beadette! So happy for you - I know it's been a tough ride.

Amos - still thinking about you. Glad you're being positive - I'm sure you'll be fine! PMA all the way.

I had some light spotting over the weekend - I'm with babyattempt - SO sick of this spotting. Fortunately, it went away after a couple hours. And, a couple days later, after just a few minutes of searching, we heard a little heartbeat on the doppler last night! WOOOO!

Our next ultrasound is September 14. Now that I've heard that heartbeat, I'm not nearly as nervous!

Hope you're all well, ladies!

I'm miserable. I have been feeling crap all day.

The midwife said they won't scan for spotting. She was very nice and said she has been through exactly the same as me (I knew that as she was the one who brought round the photos they took of Isabella in the mortuary and she mentioned it then) and that she wouldn't have relaxed in her next pg from being told brown spotting is normal.

She said just please try to relax. I have been going mental though - must have tried to find the heartbeat about 5 times, I have only managed once and that was the day before the scan.

I can't bear another 12 days waiting to see if things are wrong. Yet if I go for another private one everyone is going to think I am a dick.

[jenny25]

hun if you want a private scan go for it no one will think that of you hun

ive been feelin crappy all day too and i think i had 2 pink spots from wippin when i went to the loo now its got me para xx

 

[EpdTTC]

Yay Beadette! Awesome news on your scan.

Great news on the bloodwork prgirl.

Vickie, I am sending you hugs. Chances are that things are fine but I also know that me saying that isn't going to make you feel better. If you can and want to get a private scan, go for it. I don't think anyone will care and if they do, so what. This is about you and your sanity and you have to do what will put your mind at ease. I just had an awesome scan on Monday and after a good scan, I feel excited and happy for a few days but the further away I get from the good scan, I start to worry again and I will not be okay until I have my next scan and know that things are okay. I'm really beginning to think that spotting is so so normal throughout pregnancy. I know it doesn't seem normal for any of us who have had losses but it really is amazing how the majority of us have had or are having spotting. I always think of the show "I didn't know I was pregnant" on TLC here in the states. Many of the women say they didn't know they were pregnant because they had their period every month the whole time they were pregnant. Well obviously it wasn't their period but they must have had enough spotting/bleeding every month to think it was their period. I don't know if any of this helps, just know, you are not alone in all of your worry. I'm thinking of you hun.

Thinking of you too Charlie, Babyattempt, Jenny, and Amos-hope any signs of spotting have subsided.

 

[Vickieh1981]

Thanks hun. I don't think anyone here would think I was being stupid because everyone has had a loss but those who haven't must just think I am a paranoid wreck (which I am I guess)

 

[Beadette]

No one would think that Vickie - if your booking a provate scan you are paying for the service anyway - It's nothing to do with anyone else why you are having another. Think of yourself darling, not others x x x x x x

 

[jenny25]

It's not happened again so far maybe I was seeing things cause I didn't have my glasses on I'm blind as a bat i've taken myself too bed just sitting watching " I didn't know I was pregnant" on discovery home and health it amazes me xx

 

[Vickieh1981]

I'm not impressed with how many of us have had bleeding/spotting. It all needs to bugger off so we can chill.

I think I am going to book a scan for next week - maybe just not tell anyone though

 

[roonsma]

Sorry to hear you're going through a shitty time Vickie, i'm sure your scan will help you feel better x

I've got my private NT scan next tues, i was looking forward to it but as it gets nearer i'm starting to get myself worked up, i just can't ever see this getting easier?

Hi to all the other ladies x

 

[EpdTTC]

I concur...the spotting/bleeding needs to bugger off! It totally amplifies our already existing fear and panic.

 

[petitpas]

So PLEASED for Beadette
Going off to check out your journal, too

 

[Amos2009]

Babyattempt- I am more than SICK of bleeding. I am doing it every morning. And I don't mean just spotting. A full blown bleed. And every morning I say the same thing- well, here it comes I am mc. But by every afternoon it has stopped. Soooo......I will put up with bleeding every freaking day if it means in the end I will have a baby! I just wish emotionally and mentally I could convince myself things just might be ok ya know?

Vickie- girl- go get you a scan. You will be paying for it, so who cares what anyone else thinks? Plus- I am sure the people that do the scans are used to women being scared. You know they have to see it all the time from women who have had losses.
To everyone!

 

[mislaww]

Vickie - we're all paranoid wrecks too! Go for the scan - if it helps you and you can afford it - who cares what others think!?

Stupid spotting. It's not fair. My cousin - a somewhat recovered drug addict, waiting to go to prison for drug dealing (not joking!), a full 5 years older than me and way unhealthier drugs aside - is also pregnant. We went to dinner the other night and she's eating all the things we're all avoiding. Hers has been an uncomplicated, worry free pregnancy. Not fair.

 

[jenny25]

everything seems fine today i think it may have been my imagination oh dear im such worrier though my hormones are really whack right now i think last night they were the worst that they have ever been omg i feel so bad i totally snapped at paul and chewed his head off he was really bugging me x

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

[Tulip]

Jenny, no more examining the toilet paper please! A quick glance is enough to tell you if something is wrong

Think we're all updated - best of luck to Minimin for her babybond scan today and to Susan for her 'proper' MW appointment! xxx

 

[Beadette]

Good luck minimin!!! Thinking of you hunny xxxx
