Friday turned out to be quiet a busy day for snuggles and I. We had a midwife appointment in the morning and the scan booked for the afternoon. I ended up having to head up to the hospital for an anti D shot on the way to my scan. The midwife was a bit worried after I told her I banged my belly on the kitchen bench Wednesday. I was running for the phone and forgot how much I have popped. It hurt a bit and left a mark but no spotting or anything so I wasn’t too worried. Being O neg they decided me an anti D shot to be on the safe side. Apparently the bump could have caused a minor internal bleed and if the snuggles happens to be positive it could be bad news. I was surprised how much it hurt and won’t be looking forward to the next shot!
Welcome back Mrs Slyder and congratulations on 2 beautiful little girls.
Mindhugs – congratulations! That’s fantastic news. Welcome to the thread.
BOC – sorry to hear you haven’t been well. I hope you have been resting up and that BP has come down now so you can head home soon.
Lise – sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well. I hope you are feeling better soon. I wish I could feel snuggles a bit more and can’t wait till I can share it with DH.
EmeraldStar – I have a friend due in 3 weeks and she had bleeding on and off for the first 12 weeks or so. It must be scary but lots of ladies experience it. Hope you follow up BT’s went well today.
Wantababy – glad to hear you are ok after your fainting spell. I have never fainted either, but can imagine it would be horrible. I hope it was just a one off and your bloods don’t show up any anaemia or anything.
BOC - thinking of you in hospital. Rest and take it easy. I hope the nurses are being nice to you - it can be hit and miss at hospital's. Fingers crossed that you're out soon
Emerald Star/Loula - My mum and sister both bled profusely in all of their pregnancies, but each time they made it through. I can only imagine how scary it is and what goes through your head. Every step of the way seems to be something else to worry about.
BDT - You are a gorgeous woman! Can't believe you gave birth to twins under 3 weeks ago and you're in here supporting us girls. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support. I'd love to meet the girls one day. Would also love to know your thoughts on hospitals and OB's on the GC when you have a moment.
Lise - I have to say I don't feel much like going to work right now. Feeling pretty off some days. My brain is mush!!! I just know I'm going to do something wrong - or say something wrong .
Wantababy - I hope the car dealers took pity on you and gave you an amazing deal on a car!!! Hope that was your only faint this pregnancy. One is too many - right?
Mitf - hope everything is ok hun with that bump of yours. Let us know how you get on.
AFM - had my 2nd Beta and it's onwards and upwards. All systems go. Levels have risen considerably!!! Yay!!! Next step - scan with IVF doctor in 2 weeks and then referral to OB.
And anyone I have missed - xxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooo
Again i apologise that i have no personals..but as you all know this rollercoaster nver ends...first your happy to see that BFP and youv'e gotten over that first hurdle..but now theres just a alot of new stuff to agonise over and i am getting so sick and frustrated...
These are the latest results....what do you guys think...keep in mind i have had ectopics and chemical pregnancies before...
Could this be another chem or ectopic?? More bloods on Friday with a 2nd ultrasound next Monday! All the googling i hace done says i should be seeing a gestational sac by now! What do you guys think?
Emerald Star~ I have been thinking of you these past few days.I really dont know too much to be honest.Your levels are great but if there is no sac on an u/s then it could be either of the 2 you said. Im soooo very sorry.This must be so hard to deal with.All the questions that must be in your thoughts!! Do let us know how you go.
Hopefully someone else on the forum might know more.Dont google too much either.You usually only ever hear the bad...trust me,i was on googling all the time and it caused me so much more worry than ease. xx
That's a very early scan EmStar - it's not so strange to see no sac. What did they say about it? I'd wait till at least 6.5 weeks or so before panicking Your numbers look really good!
ETA - or wait, am I thinking about heartbeat...? Sorry. I'm no good to you.
Quick reply, will do a proper one later when at work but just a quick one. EmeraldStar - how distressing for you, I'm sorry to hear that. I agree though, stop googling immediately! No one ever shares good news on the internet in the same degree as bad news and you will read only scary things. It's very very early for a scan. I know it is entirely pointless for us to tell you to relax/ not to worry, as of course you will, but please remember how early your scan was. Some babies just develop at different speeds. Know that we are all thinking of you and praying for a good Monday scan.
Would also love to know your thoughts on hospitals and OB's on the GC when you have a moment.
