M/C chances after 12 weeks

[Novella]

sounds like normal second trimester improvement of all those nasty first trimester side effects of pregnancy. I would call your ob's office and discuss your worries, hopefully if they know your history of a loss and LTTTC they may be able to squeeze you in for a quick check to reassure you. Your ob should have a back up partner you could seexxx

Could u pop into the emergency room at ur local hospital?

I've had 2 scans there already. Once for early bleeding at 6 weeks and then a dating scan at 8 weeks. Plus the wait would be at least 2 hours and I don't think they have a sonographer(sp?) after hours. Just feel so uneasy

It would be unlikely you would be given an ultrasound in an emergency department, particularly after hours unless you had bleeding or abdominal tenderness. Unfortunately it would not be considered an emergency and you would wait a long time only to be referred for a private scan at a later date.

I hope you find the confidence to enjoy your pregnancy soon, part if being a mummy is always having the worry of the well being of your child, unborn or in your arms. If you are feeling particularly anxious please call your ob's office tomorrow and let them know how much it's impacting on you. Xx

Sorry Novella, I didn't see your first post! I will call my OB tomorrow then, but I don't want to seem like a crazy person. Plus it's hard to swap appointments around work because I don't have people to cover my shifts.

I know symptoms start to fade once you enter the second trimester, but it still makes me worry. And I hate not showing yet, it's like it's not real and there's nothing in there.

Thank you ladies for your reassurance xx

Your OB will be able to check HB for you. If you ring them concerned, they will find a spot for you. Most OB's are very accommodating if you are worried. I know when I had a huge panic attack, my OB saw me within the hour when I called.

Thanks Lilima, I hope they can fit me in around work because I can't really move shifts around once they are concrete. It just stuffs everything up. I guess i will just wait and see...

In the 2nd Tri symptoms do tend to settle for most women, and like Novella suggested, seek further appt(s) to acknowledge these worries that you are holding onto. After TTC &/or m/c it's hard to have faith that Mother Nature will allow things to be perfect for us, but you have to have hope, or you've really got little else. I remember feeling the same anxiety about the 2nd trimester, and then my baby kicked me from the inside, and I nearly drowned in the wave of relief.
Enjoy your growing baby, who can hear your heartbeating inside of you. Celebrate everyday, and seek the positivity.
