Cookie, I’m having similar symptoms without the bleeding. Best of luck with your scan!

Ellie, sorry to hear you had a scare! Glad you got to hear the heart beat! That must have been reassuring!

The nausea has really started to ramp up for me and switched from morning to nights!

 

[Fit_Mama2Be]

I'm so sorry Poppy. I hope your rainbow finds you soon.

Glad everything was okay and you got to hear the heartbeat Ellie.

I'm on my way to miscarrying as well, which will be #3 in a row for me. My HCG is extremely low and not doubling normally (though it continues to increase) so I know it's only a matter of time. I wish it would just start falling so I could get it over with but I'm stuck in limbo hell for now.

 

[laodicean]

Haven’t checked in for a while and just wanted to say so sorry to hear your news, poppiebug and fit_mama. I’ve been where you both are and I promise there is always a light at the end. Be kind to yourselves and fingers crossed for rainbows for both of you!

I’m so sorry FitMama so much bad news on the thread right now I’m thinking of you all!

I’ve felt nauseous for a while, but was actually sick this morning. Hoping it’s a good sign but who knows, I really want an early scan to date me and reassure but I need to see my MW so she can refer me.


Thanks Wobbles

Thank you Wobbles and Thank you LilFooshFoosh for agreeing to take over the thread. I think LilFooshFoosh was going to look into transferring the sig image to her photobucket or something, so once that's sorted I will want to remove it from mine so that'll mean you'll need the new code if you want it to remain in your signature too. I wont be offended should you choose to have something else or not use it at all.

I'm all booked in for the procedure tomorrow morning (I can't even say / type the actual words) I'm scared but also just want it sorted so we can hopefully work towards that rainbow soon. My symptoms have gone which is also a blessing I think. Just want the next 24 hours to be done with.

I also want to wish everyone else all the absolute very best with everything, I'm so sorry that I didn't get to know you all better and share the journey to the end. I will probably poke my head back in to see how you're all doing every now and then.

Fit_mama I'm so sorry it looks as though you are headed the same way as me. Fingers crossed for that rainbow very soon.



Much love and keep that Sparkle going!!

Sorry Cookie, that you aren't feeling confident. I hope you have a scan soon.

Fit_Mama, being in limbo is the worst. I hope things sort themselves out for you shortly.

Big :hugs: for everyone! Mondays are the worst

Poppie- I'm so sorry. for you through tomorrow and as you go through this. There is a lot of support in the bnb community so please reach out if you need to.

Fit_mom- to you too.

I'll be thinking and sending prayers to you both.

AFM: Nausea has really kicked up for me. I haven't actually gotten sick, but have come close quite a few times. Other than that I just get extremely tired at random.

I hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[elliecain]

I’m so sorry for you both Poppie and FitMama. I pray you find your rainbows soon.

My second scan revealed a massive SCH (haematoma), hence the bleeding. They can’t give me a prognosis, have to just take it easy and pray that the baby outgrows the blood clot. I have to go back in 2 weeks. I also have another scan with my ivf clinic this Friday. I’m terrified, especially as I’ve been told to expect more bleeding. However, the baby had a heartbeat and had grown from 5.7mm to 6mm in a day.

Hugs to everyone

Great news baby has grown, take things easy

Advice needed!
5 weeks pregnant with more promising numbers this time. Past three miscarriages never got past 4 weeks and a few days with very low hcg levels. I'm a photographer but work full time at another job. Making pretty good pay. My husband told me I can quit and do Photography as my full time job. But I'm nervous. The job I work at now is stressful and they don't give us the coverage we need. Especially for going to he Dr. So I stress about that.

Would you quit if you husband gave you the go ahead? I plan on putting in my two week notice on the 5th.

We really want to focus on our family...

 

[waiting2c]

I think I would, if we were okay financially for me to do it.

After my last baby my husband got made redundant and it forced me to set out on my own in business. It has been the best thing ever for me. Not to say that it removes all stress but it makes it so much easier to commit to appointments as you just shuffle things around as needed.

 

[BeachBaby655]

Boog, sounds like a good plan if you can do it financially! My husband told me I could quit after the baby if I wanted to but I don’t have anything else that I could do part time which is really what is holding me back! Having your photography business is awesome!

Waiting: Yeah I think I'm most stressed about me not having my own spending cash all the time! I know I'll book sessions, but I know there's see dry months!

Beach: I think I'm set on it. I don't feel appreciated at the company. I love my job, love the ppl but.. I also don't want to ruin chances of coming back later... So I want to make a graceful exit :/ I will def be staying home once the baby gets here anyway.. why not get started early!? We should be buying a house in the next year anyway.. ahhhhhhhhhh so exciting and nerve racking too!

 

[Lightning7]

Go for it Boognishrises! You shouldnt have to deal with an unsupportive job through this stage!

Fit_Mama im so sorry to hear your news and poppybug I will miss you around here, hope you both get your rainbows soon!

 

[amytrisha]

Boog I think that’s completely up to you! Bare in mind it’ll be a big change not going to work, you may end up with a lot of spare time in between photography but if that doesn’t phase you then go for it! The rest may help too
Good luck whatever you decide x

 

[alice1234]

Go for it Boog! Not that I’ve told my job, but my own business will be at the stage that I don’t have to go back after Maternity leave this time - looking forward to taking control of my own time and not having to ask for holidays and days off!

 

[BeachBaby655]

Alice, what type of business do you have? I need ideas lol!

Just found out I had my date wrong for my first drs. appointment. It’s the 9th not the 7th! But I also confirmed that I will have my first ultrasound at that appointment as well! These days need to fly by!

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Good morning everyone.

Boog, if DH is onboard and you want to, why not? If you don't want to just jump right in, could you ask for a leave at work or move to part-time or something?

I don't have my own business but DH and I both have very flexible work environments. DH mostly works from home but has a few local offices he can commute to when he wants and I generally work in the office but can work from home when I want. We also both have very understanding managers. It makes a big difference when dealing with sick kids and various school closures etc.

So... I had some brown tinged CM for a few days, then yesterday I was feeling really lightheaded and generally "off", then had an instance of dark red/brown (still only when I wiped, not enough to even hit the pantyliner). I ended up going in to the dr to see what was going on. I had a SCH with my DD and I usually have 2 endometriomas (one of each ovary) which sometimes burst, so I'm not unused to spotting and weird pains, but I was nervous. They couldn't find the source of the bleeding, but baby measured 6 wks 2 days (1 day ahead of my dates) and had a HR of 117! I got progesterone again, as additional support and have to go back in 2 weeks, so I ended up keeping my appointment on Feb 13th. I've only had brown again since that one instance, so I'm hoping that was the end of it.

Has anyone been high risk and seen a MFM doctor in a previous pregnancy? I was referred to an MFM for the 2nd tri with DD (after my 2nd tri loss) and I'm wondering if I will be automatically referred again.

 

[Jules8]

Boog- If you guys talked and are ok with it than I say go for it. You could use the extra time before baby to take some photography classes, go to events to learn about new things in photography, and events like bridal/baby expos to hand out business cards.
lilfoosh- I'm glad everything looked good. Hopefully the spotting is on it's way out now. I was at a MFM in my last pregnancy. I wasn't high risk, but I got referred to go there due to conceiving through a fertility clinic. I was kind of wondering if I would be referred again or not this time. I didn't go through a fertility clinic this time, but I did use fertility meds so I'm not sure what they'll do yet.
