Pregnancy After Stillbirth/Recurrent Miscarriage/Late Loss September 2009

Kat Your question about worry.. it never goes away. As for baby's h/b it can range quite healthily from 120 thru to 180 depends on whether bub is asleep or moving and the moment the Dr takes the reading. I have a doppler here and would listen for a few minutes with Daniel and it would vary so wildly but the experts reckon that a wide range is healthy whereas staying constant is not quite so good.
Congratulations .. I think I posted on FB as well?

Ellie you have another blessing on board I was so happy when I saw that the other week when I came back to lurk.

Laney you have been thru such a lot too and I hope this next BFP you get will be sticky and not disappear within a few weeks. That is so heartbreaking when you get your hopes up and reams reawakened only to have to say goodbye yet again.

ETA Klee hey hun, it's nice to be able to join you as well in the pg thread. Gosh has it been that long since I met you on the forum? Time seems to go so fast the older we get. And yeah I am now classified as a geriatric mum-to-be, forget the corect term but it is supposed to make you feel ancient. I still feel 18 in my mind though so who cares what my birth certificate says lol. My Drs have confirmed a few times though what a miracle it is for me to be pg this time esp as I was still breastfeeding Daniel ( who weaned himself 3 days after I got my BFP) and I had acute gastro followed by a week of acute mastitis and still got pg!

Dory I am so sorry for the loss of your baby boy Cash. Post mortems do often give an unknown result. We had clear reasons for Annabelle as my OB saw the cord wrapped twice around her neck with her arm thru a loop of it and the hypercoils in it causing it to kink and twist. But when she got to the autopsy of course she had no cord around her neck and the placenta and cord had straightened out once it was unlooped from her. Hopefully this time around your medical team will be more supportive and listen to your concerns.



I am joining here again too but not sure for how log.
Some of you know me from before so would know about my stillborn baby girl due cord entanglement and then the recurrent m/c ( over 8 in 3 yrs) before we finally had Daniel in our arms. He is now 10 1/2 mths old.
I turned 46 on Feb 3 and on Feb 2 I got 2 clear lines at 9dpo. I eventually summoned up the courage to go to the Dr at 19dpo and the beta was 1396. The 2nd one at 22dpo was 3158 and 25 dpo was 5332. So it isn't doubling but is still rising.
I had a scan at 25 dpo too as there was a concern that with spotting and pain I may have ectopic pg but the scan showed a clear corpus luteum on the left ovary, right ovary was fine, no other lumps or bumps or free fluid........ and 2 sacs in the uterus !
One she was able to measure at 5w3d with what looked like a forming fetal pole. The other was smaller with no discernible ring around it like the first one but as she said if it is twins it is 2-3 days behind the bigger sac so could still be forming.
I have another beta on Monday and a second progesterone draw. the first one was 35 at 22dpo.
So we either have twins or a vanishing twin or what the Dr doing the scan report said could be a pseudo ectopic sac although the sonographer said there was absolutely no sign of ectopic.

I have no morning sickness whereas even with chem pgs I have had I have had bad m/s by 4 1/2 weeks.
So I don't know.
The betas are sort of hopeful? the 2 sacs could be hopeful? or it could fall flat ...
I know you ladies would understand my concerns and worries better than others who have never experienced anything like this.

hugs and hope to you all and hopefully I'll catch up better with personals once I get reading more foten
