Man i am so tired! Pain seems to have eased off now, so gonna carry on blobbing on the sofa. No one is dressed but the kids don't seem to care!

Ok I am coming out of hiding now.

Had been keeping myself under wraps until we'd had a private scan to check if everything was progressing ok.

Everything went well, am measuring at 9w 2d so only 1 day less than I had worked out. The lady said everything looks perfect for that gestation, she showed us the hearbeat a lovely strong 178bpm tadpole even did a couple of somersaults and waved to us We got 6 pictures - not got a scanner so have taken a photo using my camera for you all, it isn't amazingly clear but you can get the idea.

Hopefully I can start relaxiing now and start actually believe that this is a real pregnancy and start enjoying it.

Aww that looks great xxx

amos, got my fx for you xx

Afm morning sickness is getting worse, thrown up twice this morning

Grrr. Still I suppose it's a good sign.

AFM - feeling really negative this morning ... got an achy stabbing pain right where the baby is It's bothering me. No spotting, but a HUGE blob of EWCM last night .... honestly it was massive!!

I've had that several times in this pregnancy and been convinced it was bad news. So far it hasn't been

Well, maybe I did have a bit of premature panic. I only spotted a few times before I went to bed. I woke up thinking for sure I would have more, and heavier, but SO FAR, nothing. I've just never had spotting that didn't lead to bad news. But this pregnancy has already been so different than the others so maybe that's a good thing

Really hoping it was nothing.

I've managed to make my first appointment with the midwife but it's not until 1st September and I was really hoping she'd be able to get me an early scan about a week after that which seems very unlikely now.

I was disappointed when I rang the EPU to book the early scan they promised me when I was last there on 11th June - their criteria for reassurance scans have 'changed quite a bit' - previously it was anyone who had suffered a miscarriage but it's now changed to three or more consecutive miscarriages

I think I'll end up having to go for a private scan like I did last time (when I just thought things didn't feel right) and was found to have a blighted ovum at 7 weeks, because until I've seen the heartbeat it will always be there at the back of my mind....

 

[debgreasby]

hope 1st Sept comes round quickly x

 

[jenny25]

i know the feeling we had a blighted ovum last year too i dont have my first scan till 2nd september not heard anything yet in regards to the midwife and i cant get ahold of my consultant at the hospital too to make an appointment so i can get started on my blood thinning stuff x

 

[Lianne1986]

is tht 4 scans now on the 2nd september?

 

[jenny25]

i think so xx

 

[Chimpette]

I have midwife on friday... for booking in appointment... woohoo! Roll on friday so they can book my 12 week scan...

[debgreasby]

Ok, i've managed to convince myself that i am no longer pregnant! I've had this feeling all day. Hardly slept last night coz i was sure it was all over.

I felt sick earlier, but nowhere near as much as previous days, and to be fair it was probably the frazzles i had for lunch rather than MS. Usually by this time of day i can barely keep my eyes open, but i feel ok today.

I'm losing the plot.

 

[Beadette]

Deb, I know what you are saying hun. I have that thought at least once a day. I swing from thinking that everythig is going to be good this time to sheer panic where I think "of course i'm going to have another MMC - it's me!"

We are mentalists! Take us to Milbrook! lol x

 

[debgreasby]

I'll save u a bed next to me Neens x

 

[Mrmojo1971]

Deb, thinking of you - I'm sure everything is ok and you'll feel fine again tomorrow.

 

[Beadette]

I know I just need to keep telling myself it's my turn! Please god may it be my turn!! I want to be a mummy so much! And I want Bead to be a daddy!

I honestly don't know how i'll cope if its bad news again - i will survive but I'll just break into a million pieces!

PMA does help but i'm worried it will make things harder if it is bad news! I suppose we can't think like this though can we!

THIS BABY WILL BE MY FOREVER BABY! X

 

[debgreasby]

Will be glad when today is over.

 

[jenny25]

you and me both i think we all have had bad days xx

 

[Mummy2Angel.]

Well MW went great got another appointment on 20/8/10 and got scan next week 26/8/10

 

[Lianne1986]

I'll save u a bed next to me Neens x

can u save me a bed to

im exactly the same! even tho i have symptoms im still sure things have gone wrong in there.
even tho i had scan at 8w4d and heard heartbeat at 10w1d im still not cnvinced!

 

[SmileyShazza]

to Deb and Neen and anyone else who needs one. It is so hard not to think the worst, I am bloody terrible for it and I don't think that you truly relax wheen pregnant after a loss until you have your baby in your arms.

This is why it's great we have each other as it would be a long, hard slog without the support from others who have been through the same thing.

I frigging hope they have a maternity ward in Millbrook as we might all need it!

Oh can someone please add my dating scan to the front page? It is Friday 3rd September - ta muchly
