Thank you for your replies. I did ph the midwives at the hospital and then at my OB rooms and they all said it is normal. But this afternoon I got crippling pains and my daughter sent me to bed then when I got up a few hours later the light loss started so I think I may have had a blockage after all which worked its way loose.
Layney it's good to see you have rising betas doing well... how far will you be for your scan?
mind blank here.. late night but just wanted a quick check in before bed.
Hi everyone
Absolutely stuffed with DH away...just wanted to say hi...and thinking of you all...off to bed at 8.15pm....only 8 weeks more...I think I can I think I can....

AD, I hope that after a rest the pains settle for you. I know that it must be hard for you to find time to relax, it sounds like you have a full house.
I will be about 7 weeks when I have my scan. I really think bub will measure a few days smaller than that because I have a long cycle and I ovulate late.
klee, so glad to read that you are getting more movements. They really do help keep the crazy lady away. Sorry that you are suffering with pelvic pain. It really is horrible, I remember it very well. I think when Grayson started to get bigger and he moved up the pains started to get a bit better.
dory, so glad that your scan went well. I really love the 12 week scans. AngelLukesmum had a cerclage. She might be able to offer some advice.
Michelle, I know that there is nothing that anyone can say to take away the worry. Take it one day at a time, you will get there. Take advantage of working near HB dopplars We are here for you if/when you need us.
Ellie, I know you can! One more week crossed off.
Katiegirl, I hope your crazy lady didn't follow you while you were away. I know that you sounded worried about missing OB appts.
beata, thinking of you.
AFM, I am just crossing off one day at a time and trying not to worry too much. It is hard when I feel like I have so much to worry about. I really have a love/hate relationship with scans. I want to know everything is growing as it should but I am so afraid that it wont be. It helps that my OB only has one ultrasound tech and I know her well. If I am going to get bad news I want it to come from someone I kind of know and feel comfortable with.
just saying a quick hello, not going too bad, bub is moving well most of the time but when she has a quiet day i freak out a little, how the hell am i going to do this for another 16-18 weeks
Klee - glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Banish the crazy lady for an hour or so and go and pamper yourself! Or send her my way so she can expend all her energy doing my housework!
JLK - you can do it. Look how far you've come! One moment, one day at a time. You can do it.
Laney - thank you. 7 weeks is a good time for a scan. I hope that you're not too anxious during the scan and can enjoy a little bit of it. For me that early scan was very reassuring, more confirmation that I wasn't imagining things and I actually was pregnant and also that there only appeared to be one little one. I used to pour over the picture of the scan, just some indistinguishable blobs on the screen, but blobs that meant so much. I know what you mean too about feeling comfortable with someone, it somehow makes any news, good or sad, much easier to bear.
Michelle - how you doing today?
Mummabec - How are you doing? A bit quiet...
Angelic - it seems you are a bit more content ( well less worried) with your lochia now? I am glad it seems to have stopped worrying you as much.
AFM.... there was one thing I was disappointed about the scan. I see a maternal fetal medicine specialist ( an obstetrician who has further specialised) for the scans and he is an absolute riot. I adore him but I forgot he doesn't usually do the nuchal scans unless there are multiples. Instead I had a heavily pregnant sonographer asking me questions about my pregnancy losses and it actually made me a bit uncomfortable. She was quite good really, it was just my reaction to her. I would have preferred the Dr, just because he is so zany and he offers so much support and information. I will see him for the next scan, so that is something else to look forward to in addition to that scan. Take care lovelies.
Just a quick one to say that I had a beautiful little boy on Tuesday night at 10:40pm,his name is Liam. Had a waterbirth, quite a difficult 2nd stage but no tearing and he arrived safely which is the main thing. He has jaundice and is in a humidity crib but hoping that won't be for too long. DH & I are so over the moon with him, his just a gorgeous little thing!
Beata, I have been thinking of you, I hope you are your little man are well, did you have him on the same day as me the 16th, I couldn't remember.
Hi all, just wanted to make myself known to you lovely amazingly strong ladies. i've been reading this thread for a few days and was unsure whether to post.
We lost our son on new years eve at 39 weeks. As of yesterday we were shocked to discover that we are pregnant again. I'm not sure how i feel about it yet.....we had no intentions of trying again for a few months and did our best to avoid getting pregnant, yet here we are again. I feel scared, guilty and a little embarrased....but there is some happiness in there which i'm grateful for, i would hate to deny our next baby any of the excitement and joy that it should get from us.
We were lucky to get some answers on what happend to our son Ethan, they found that some of the placenta had died most likely from a blood clot. They also found that he had some development problems with his brain so if he had survived he would have had 'significant learning disabilities'. Finding answers has made it easier to cope with the loss of him but it doesn't seem to be calming my fears too much right now. The blood tests i had done at the time showed that my blood clotting was fine but i have to get further tests done in april to completely rule it out.
So thats my story. We haven't yet told anyone....i'm pretty sure that we are only four weeks along....off to the docs next week for confirmation. So i guess i just needed to tell someone....thanks for listening xx
