PAL Summer 2011 Babies - From 1st tri to MC and back again in one go.

[LittleGriffin]

Hi all

It's lovely to see some familiar names from the mc support forum.

My story: have a gorgeous son born sept 2008 and started trying June and was preg in aug 2010 but by end of month had spotting and had mc end of aug and bled for 4-5 weeks or so. It was torture and seemed never-ending. Hosp think my period started as my mc bleeding ended so not sure if had a cycle or not. But got my BFP on nov 1st!

Had private scan at 7 weeks all fine then had scan on NHS at 11w 2d but I worry every single day. I'm 13 wks today and due 12 July. I thought I'd relax after 12 wks but I can't! But started using Doppler which I'd helping and started exercising and going gym again last week which is lifting my spirits.

But its so nice having this group cos my husband is getting fed up of me being so negative and constantly thinking something is wrong. Don't think I'll relax for a long while yet!

Welcome!

Your in good hands here.....we all understand and have the same worries!

Congratulations on hitting 12 weeks....my 12 week scan is 2 weeks tomorrow and it cant come fast enough!!!!

Ladies,

I'm so bloody tired! I can't get comfy in bed, tossing and turning, backache, headache, too hot, need a wee .....AND WOKE UP AT 4:40AM STARVING!!!!!!!
What is going on???
I'm so glad i don't have to go to work, i can't imagine what its like for those of you who do or those of you who have other children to look after.....i'm a wreck!!

On the plus side, Jimmy and i have started to make plans for what we are going to buy, i'm the queen of lists and being organised and i love looking at prams and cots etc and deciding what we are going to get.
So far we have decided on the Stokke Explory in red and the Stokke round cot, i think its called isleep or something......soooooooooooo cute!!!!

Hey ladies just wanted to stop and in and say good by looks like im headed back over to ttc after a loss.

The er said they have never seen a positive as low as mine before and said that they were as confused by everything i've been through as hubby and i are. They told me to make an OB appt to see if they will do tests to find out if its raised or lowered but OB wont see me because according to them my level isn't high enough to be considered a positive... and since i didn't have a positive test done by them before i started bleeding they consider me never to be pregnant and can't help me until i have 3 miscarriages in a row. I hate military healthcare for this reason. Nice that its free but its horrible care because the military wants everything cheaply done.
I just feel extremely hopeless and depressed. I made an appt with my regular dr and am going to beg for a referral to a specialist and if she won't give me one i'm going to call my insurance directly and see if they will allow me to go to a specialist.

So sorry to hear this hun. Take care and hope to see you here soon. Sending big

Oh no, honey! I'm so sorry! Its shameful the way people get treated sometimes. So unfair! I hope you're back with a sticky BFP very soon!

Thinking of you EMBO, roll on 3:30 eh?!?

^^ See that girls! She "says" she's not trying to rub it in but what do we really think??

S'ok Pip, I know how rare it is - less than 1% of pregnant women suffer HG. I never knew how debilitating it was. Morning sickness has NOTHING on this shit! I'm so fed up. I was reading a HG support forum and got freaked out by how many women terminate their pregnancy because they literally can't cope with it.... terrifying. Women getting depression because they can't leave the house, even for me to go to the GP's today I had to take my sick bowl with me and sit with it on my knee in the car and still had to pull the car over 4 times for a 10min journey... it's unreal. I mean there's NO WAY I could even walk round a garage to get milk let alone go to a grocery store right now.

I'm so glad none of you girls have to go through this, I truly mean that. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I wish with all my heart I could make you better, I saw a couple of friends go through it and I know how horrid it is. Did you get the tablets in time tonight? Hope you did If it's any help a friend of mine had it like you but once she hit 13 weeks it went away almost every night, my other friend was a bit later at 14/15 weeks but they both didn't get it back

Have you had your official 12 week scan yet Eve?

I won't get an official 12w because my booking in was early [probably because of Christmas etc so my next scan isn't until my 20w but when I spoke to my MW she said she'd try and get me one in between. I'm really looking forward to seeing her on 17th, we get on so well.
I got my tablets - I swear it's so funny what they use for HG because they use a lot of antihistamines to control it so my tablet which I got yesterday [yes he made it in time!] is SOMINEX! So basically invisible sheep... if you've seen that ad lol It knocked me out, found it REALLY hard to get up this morning even now my eyes are half shut and it's nearly 11:30... And so far it's had no effect on the nausea. Weirdly ever since the HG kicked in I've had quite loose stools too [nice huh?] and I swear I went to the toilet just now and the smell made me sick... eugh. I know a lot of people's stops at 16w, the majority is gone by 20w but some continue through to full term... it's scary when you just don't know when it will end. My mum had it the full 9mo with me and my sis and because it runs in families it scares me to think that might influence it! Weirdly I don't know of any of my aunties that have it.

Now I'm supposed to find some energy to drive to Comber [about 15min drive] to get a freaking sidelight for my car so Patricia's OH can fit it for me on his way home - I have my MOT booked for 6pm tomorrow... that's a 25min drive EEK SICK BOWL AT THE READY.

LMS - I am so sorry honey I truly hope we see you back here soon. I'm sorry they treated you that way. They've obviously never had it happen to them. I'm hoping you'll be third time lucky and won't need to see the nasty doctor. Massive to you. Xxxxx

 

[Pippin]

Embo good luck for today honey.

 

[Pippin]

Ohhh spamming the thread sorry but wanted to share I felt movement too I'm sure so pretty sure I have another posteria placenta more movement felt that way. It was in bed when I was nice and quiet so will be doing it again tonight Went onto dream about it too so even better

 

[Embo78]

Thanks for your thoughts girls.

Nothing to report here. I'm just quite nervous but not as bad as what I thought I'd be. No symptoms to report but I've pulled a muscle in my chest (of all places!) I'm in absolute agony. If it's not better by end of the day I'll have to go docs. I'm struggling to even get dressed.

I don't know whether I've shared this here but when I had my mmc I honestly feel like my body was trying to tell me there was something wrong with the pregnancy. For example - spotting, bad dreams (that actually happened), just a feeling deep down something was wrong, intuition so to speak.
Last night I had a lovely dream that everything went well at my scan, baby had caught up a little bit, I've had no spotting and even though I went through a really negative couple days, my general feeling is that I'm ok. I just hope this means that my body is telling me we're ok this time.

Ah well I'll soon find out. Only 3 hours til we set off.

Think sticky thoughts for me ladies

 

[Megg33k]

Thinking of you, Em! I do believe our bodies give us cues. I had a feeling of dread the other 2 times, and (even with the pink discharge and stuff yesterday) I don't have it this time. Almost all of my dreams of scans have been good ones... except for one night. Listen to your body. You'll be seeing your baby soon!

 

[Embo78]

Thanks Megg

 

[Aaisrie]

So excited for you Em!!! Cant wait for you to get back with good news!!

 

[Embo78]

Everythings ok. Saw healthy beanie with strong heartbeat. Dated 6+5 so a little earlier than I thought but I'm not worrying bout that. Next time Im scanned will be at 12 weeks in middle of Feb. So happy xx

I'll update more when I get home xx

LuvMySoldier -

Eve - I really hope this sickness stops soon, it must be awful

Embo - Congratulations.

We took George to the hospital again yesterday. We saw the registrar first, who we've seen for last few weeks as consultant has been away. He's got no personality, doesn't explain to George what he's going to do just starts touching his eyes!!! Anyway turns out his names Moodie, couldn't be more apt. I was really pushy that we weren't happy with the left eye that he ended up getting consultant. She's really nice and really good with George. She agreed its still inflamed, decided to remove the stitches to see if that helped (bless him he was really brave), she's prescribed more drops and ointment to see if that helps and we go back in three weeks.

On a selfish level can I ask a couple of questions. Has anyones breasts stopped hurting as much? I know they do get better at 12 weeks but they seem to have got better over night.
To those of you've who've felt the flutterings of baby moving do you have days where you don't feel it?

Well I still feel like I've been so busy I'm really out of touch with you all.

Love Sarah xxx
