    DD is in bed, earlier than usual but she didnt have a nap all day so was overtired, i dont care what time she wakes up tomorrow i just need peace atm.

    So my scan, well i'm not sure how my scan went, i'm rather confused and more scared and worried than i was before.

    It took several attempts to get pictures & measurements and i had to completely empty my bladder.

    She said the yolk sac is of a early pregnancy between 4-6weeks and intact and she couldnt find a fetal pole but that might be because it's too early.

    The report will be sent to my Dr overnight and i'll ring tomorrow after 2pm to make sure they got it and see what the doctor wants to do from here.

    I just want to bloody cry, i dont know what to think it certainly wasnt what i was expecting.

    Sorry for the selfish post

    Jo - big big sweetie. So they didn't say how far along they thought you were? Is there any chance you could be not as far along as you thought? You poor thing, sounds very very confusing. Did they suggest another scan at a later date or do you have to wait until you speak to your dr tomorrow to know where you go from here? Try not to stress hun, as hard as I know it is, there is every chance that all is ok and you just need to wait and see what the dr says tomorrow. Hun, I wish it had gone perfectly for you today and I hate to think of you worrying and stressing about it. I wish I was closer and could give you a real hug! Will be thinking of you and I will check in after 2 tomorrow to see what your dr says.

    Oh Jo Please dont lose hope; I had almost the exact same situation with Stellan. I prepared myself for a miscarriage, I was so devestated. Turns out he was just a slow grower and 2wks after my initial ultrasound there he was, a little bean with a heartbeat! He measured super behind until 20wks when he was measuring exactly to the dates I thought I should have been; and then arrived on my original EDD! So please just hang in there til its 200% certain you should give up hope ok? We're all here for you no matter what, remember that!

    Oh Jo... massive hugs. As the other girls have said, please don't loose hope yet. I was the same with Luke, I thought I was 8 weeks and when we went for the scan, he only measured just on 6 weeks, so of course after already having a missed m/c before that, I was shattered and thought we were going to loose another one. Two weeks of hell later, we arrived for the scan that I thought was going to tell us we'd lost another one and low and behold.. he was fine!! So don't give up.. just wait and see what the dr says. I hope they organise another scan for you soon. It's such a scary and horrible time and I wish there was more that we could do to make it easier for you. Just know that we're all here for you, so vent as much as you like.. you certainly deserve to be selfish right now. Take care and try to rest up and as hard as it is, try not to analyse everything. Massive hugs.

    Jo - Like the other girls have said, these sorts of scans happen all the time and more often than not end in healthy pregnancies. My DS2 was the same. I must admit I didn't worry all that much because we had no idea of dates but waiting for the repeat scan was haaaard.

    Sorry I'm not around much atm guys, just a bit 'meh' and not much to say. Thinking of you all though.

    Sorry about the funky spacing, on my iPhone.


    Sorry ladies but I've only just skimmed through the posts because there are so many.

    Jo: I agree with the wonderful
    advice given. Try to hold on to some hope babe. I hope the dr can put your mind at ease tomorrow. (hug)

    Lee: hun I'm not going to pretend that I know
    what losing a DH is like, it hurts to even contemplate. What I
    do know is that you are a one of the most beautiful, compassionate and gorgeous people I've had the pleasure of getting to know. You should be so proud that despite
    you tragic losses, you have not only survived
    but become such a wonderful soul. Your older
    kids may not have their biological father here on earth buy they have a bloddy amazing Mum.

    Michelle: only two sleeps Hun. Thinking of you.

    Freya: O needed to have a skin ***** test whilst we lived
    in Sydney. We saw a brilliant pead and paediatric
    dermatoligist, PM if you want their details. Hope
    DS is feeling better.

    Janie: hope you're doing ok today.

    Sorry for the lack of persies, both boys in bed and so should I. O is fine, some bactial cream and whatever the spots are is almost gone. I hope
    this isn't inappropriate but I just had to share that B gave me a big gummy smile today complete with gorgeous gooing noises. Makes my heart sing. oh and he was 5.6kgs when I got him weighed yesterday which means he has gained 1.64kg's since birth.

    Jo I'm sorry your scan wasn't as good as you'd hoped but you do have some positives to hang onto and that's what counts right now Hopefully your Dr will have some more info for you tomorrow and will get you to have another scan in a week or so. I know its hard but please try to rest up now too

    Spring WOOHOO on B's weight gain and how cute are those 1st smiles and goo's. Never ever apologise for telling us these things. It these happy moments that make us all smile You're doing an amazing job hun. Oh and I'm happy that O's rash seems to be easing too.

    Willow Are you ok? Know I'm here if you want to chat

    Janie and Michelle to you both.

    Deb. All the best for Immy's appointment tomorrow and GRRRRR to FOTY. I hope your new solicitor gives him a good kick up the butt!!

    Do you realise Spring that Imogen is only 4.4kgs heavier at 28 months than your gorgeous newborn!

    Jo, I too am hoping that all is well. I can only imagine how hard this news is - please remember that there are some very wonderful & positive stories in here with similar beginnings to you. Big big cuddles. xxxx

    Michelle: 2 more sleeps left my love... I am thinking, hoping and praying for you & Omar and G....xxx

    Me: Well it's been a crappolla day here. The FOTY is being a twat again - withdrawn his agreement to the offer that was accepted in January... Anyways it's being handled by my new Solicitor who is a director of the firm - and is about as feisty as a pit bull...

    I have a feeling that it's going to be fine.

    Tomorrow is Imogen's appointment to get her chromosome fancy schmancy test result... Feeling apprehensive but accepting whatever is...

    So I won't be around until tomorrow evening. Janie big cuddles and thinking of you always.

    Jo, I was so worried that we were going to mc Grayson. At my 7 week scan he was a week behind. At 9 weeks he was right on track. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will have the same story. Make sure that you ask for another scan next week.

    Deb, for Immy's appt. tomorrow.

    Lee, He is there with your children on all of their important life events because you remember him and keep him in your heart.
