Tilly it's great when they sleep all night and wake so happy x

Kim it was so frightening... I thought it was so busy there, I mean around 7 families waiting and some had more than 4 people with them and one person doing the scan (complications with family had her running late) so I thought what will I do if its not a good scan? I have to walk past all these people and the pay after bad news.. I started working myself up... felt like I wanted to vomit.. then I was about to call it a day when they called me in.. I was shaking... the sound was amazing! still don't seem real... just hope Baba is still doing well when I see him/her Monday

I got speaking to 2 couples there.. one was a young girl(18) a traveller.. she has 1 baby already and one on way.. I asked how far gone she said I dont know..its moving.. they wanted a boy..I said what if you have 11 girls...she said we will keep trying.. they already had a girl.. I said you dont know how far you are? no she said..(unlike us to the day) well they went in..few mins later walked out.. she put her head down filled up saying.. "a Girl" very upset.. and he was just glaring looking straight ahead...not happy..

Another couple in 30's do not know how far they were gone.. I didnt find out as I went in first.. but she was estimating 8 weeks approx..they were going to see how far gone they were..

I just can't imagine now not knowing...

I came out beaming obviously.. happy with my sticky bean no matter if it's a girl or boy x

Gosh the different lives we all lead !!! I remember thinking at my 20 week scan that if he only had one leg it wouldn't dampend my pure joy , the love I felt even at that stage for him was overwhelming !!!

Beautiful scan T!!!

I can imagine SJ, I am so happy it went well! No comment about the couple that was disappointed about having a girl, I would probably have a hard time not wanting to punch someone that ungrateful. Especially not right now, my tolerance span for annoying people has lessened considerably when pregnant ��

I am absolutely fine with girl or boy too, but for the moment I have a hunch it is a girl, no idea why.

 

[Serenjay]

I have no idea what mine will be.. to be honest I find it hard to think there is a baby inside me growing..lol

haha@punching her.. Know exactly what you mean.. it flipped my stomach to see their reactions.

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi gosh its all gone quiet !!! Don't everyone leave me on my own lol

 

[Serenjay]

Hi Regina.. how are you doing? how are you feeling?

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina yes gone quiet on here. How is everyone? Had a great time at the show in London. Oh and I bumped into Gok Wan. I was so chuffed lol

T- how are you feeling?

 

[Serenjay]

Thats a lovely photo Jo.. so nice to bump into him.. did you get a pic? lol

I am so ill. Had to take a day off work yesterday the MS is so bad.. can't believe I am 8 weeks today.. I have another Scan 9am monday with EPAU.

Im wearing sea bands and trying lots of ginger and lemon things and giving in and trying medication. Dr gave me Maxalon yesterday but I felt it done nothing so I have not taken it today. I am really weak and not left the house since Thursday morning. I sound down.. I am a bit.. im not ungrateful I just feel so tired and sick. xx

Hi Ladies

Ok, I didn't see that one coming, which is a bit ironic given my history I guess, but the baby no longer had a heartbeat at today's ultrasound, which should have been 8w1d or 2. It has stopped around 7w2d. Again. Same day as my previous m/mc. I am baffled and not really sure what to think or even what to feel at this point.

Now what is confusing is that the sac itself measured ok at the scan at 6w5d, but today the sac was under 6 weeks, I didn't even know how this would be possible. Not that it matters now anyway.

Dr did ask me to come in for a repeat scan over the next days to check again, but today's US was obvious, I could tell from the second it was up on the screen.

 

[josie1234]

Oh kim I am so sorry hun. Big hugs. This news gave me the awful sinking feeling. I hope you get some answers. Xxxxxxxxx

 

[Alien73]

Thanks Jo. I am not sure yet if I want the baby to be tested. Given that I was on all possible medication for recurrent miscarriages, from steroids to blood thinners and Intralipis IVs, should the baby be chromosomically normal, I would probably not dare to ever try again as nothing seems to work.

I guess I prefer to go with the Dr best guess of the baby having a chromosome issue as it leaves me with a 'maybe' possibility further down the road. I will give it a couple of days to decide on a D&C or miscarrying naturally

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh gosh Kim I'm so sad to read your update . I hope your doing ok , you must be devastated . I was sure this was your sticky beanie you must be in shock right now . I am thinking about you and am here to hold your hand through this xxxx

 

[Serenjay]

Oh kim that was not something I expected to see when I popped in here.. I am so upset for you I am so sorry sweetheart xxx

 

[crysshae]

I'm so sorry Kim.

 

[garfie]

So sorry Kim -BIG hugs
