Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss #6

150 beats pm..... Yayyyyyyy least now for my scan tomorrow I won't be so stressed because at least I know it's little hearts beating..

V21 hope you feel better

Me4 was the acupuncture for fertility? Enjoy yoga they have one here I'm thinking just need to fit it in. Hope you get lots of time relaxing.

Mel good luck for tomorrow how do you know hb? I keep getting told ultrasound can't tell getting annoyed

V21 glad you're past the mc marks I'm sure that is so encouraging.

Me DS has gastro. He's been so good really proud he even waited for me to pull over in the car. Work is hard at the moment I'm taking things way harder than normal and feel like crying. I did cry this morning when my mother said no to coming to my scan cos she wanted to see the 20 week one, I was so sad I didn't even say anything she really missed the point it is to support ME! DF will chuck a sick day. Grrr parents :wall:

Greenslw - Yes, I did acupuncture for the last 2 years (I just realised I spent a fortune there...) for fertility reasons. Especially when doing the IUI/IVF/FET cycles... Yoga was nice - very relaxing. Not as full on as normal yoga. Nice to meet some other pregnant women. If you can't fit it in, try your local public library - they may have some books and or dvds on pregnancy yoga! I'm getting some from my library... You poor thing with poor DS with gastro... And your mum not wanting to accompany you to the scan :( My hubby took a sicky as well when we had the scan. It'll be nice for you to have him there!

Melster - Good luck for the scan tomorrow! All will be well! Let us know how you went! Do you have a doppler, that you know the heartrate?

Sorry just a short message - hi to everyone else! Just too exhausted at the moment. Had a busy day at work. Had a sore back when I finished :( Just relaxing now!

Just a quick one as I am feeling very sorry for myself. MS is very bad and having trouble hydrating and I'm getting nasty cramps that have been getting worse over the past few days. Health Direct advised me to go to ED last night but I didn't. Kinda regretting it now as I haven't been able to detect a hb, placental beat or kicks this morning. On the other hand, the ED near me just sends you home with no scan and no checking the hb till 20weeks. They just tell you to go home and wait it out. I have my ob appointment on Tuesday (if that's the 23rd) but am terrified of having a scan then and finding out I've had a mmc, although I know there is nothing that would change it if I had a scan now and it shows a bub that has passed. Trying to have positive thoughts but it is hard with how bub has been growing :(

dampyre I hope everything is Ok with bubs and you xxx

Thinking of you Damp, if your that dehydrated bub might just sleeping more.
You really should go in for the drip at least xxx

Had my scan. Yesterday & everything was great Boo was moving all around & everything looks good. Get my results back next Wed or earlier if I'm high risk

Cheshire- Yays for bouncing bub :D

Kb- Thanks, we went to see an ob near me

Me4- So happy you are in our group now :)

Greenslw- Sorry your mum is being so selfish


Melster- how are you?
Sorry everyone, I have read but can't see the last page and memory is bad
AFM- Reason I had so much trouble finding bub was because it has moved up into my tummy lol, that's also the cause of the pain, uterus having a nice big stretching session. Feeling calmer now and bubs hb on the docs doppler was 162bpm only baby of mine to be up that high. Really starting to think girl. Still trying to work on hydration but do not want to go on drip yet so just home remedies for now. If it gets worse by my next appt or if I need it sooner, ai will go in to ED

Hugs Dampyre. Glad all is ok. Hope you can get re hydrated soon.

Mel??? Hope it went great today
Cherished so happy for you.
Damprye glad bubs is just rising its so easy to panic isn't it my bubs is up already too fingers crossed for a pink one
Me4 no point looking at money re health if I tallied up physio chiro and massage I'd freak hope you have a relaxing weekend.

ATM not a good day at work actually burst into tears, need to put a lid on that or someone will catch on. DS is well but so sooky and two mass tantrums today. Tomorrow a big park visit to hopefully shift both our moods. Wonder how DS will go with bubs he still wants his cot back even though he doesn't fit in it. Hmm off to the library me thinks

Scan went well. Think hb was 159.. She said everything was looking good and measurement on neck was good. I asked about sex but she wasn't very experienced i don't think. She was lovely and she tried a few times. There was a bright light around area. Think it was umbilical cord... One minute she thought she could be make parts then the white lines... Me and hubby agree we saw 1 kinda long white line and maybe half a line so I dunno?????? Apparently there is 3 identical same size lines for a girl do I dunno????

Greenslw hope you feel better ....

Me4ever.. I was at the obs yesterday and he checked the hb for me

Damprye are you ok now ????

Hey! Lots going on in here today! Had a long day at work, now relaxing on the lounge chair...

Damprye - so happy you were able to locate baby's heart rate! Hope you feel better soon! I had been considering getting a doppler, but I think for this reason I don't want to... Just in case I wouldn't be able to hear bub's heart rate.

Melster and Cheshire - so happy scans went well for both of you, with happy bubs!! Melster - don't really know how to tell if boy or girl at this point..

Kbudgie - how are you doing? When's your next blood test? How are the pregnancy symptoms going?

Lyra - how are you? Hope you're feeling well!

Greenslw - hugs honey, for feeling so teary. You still sure you're going to wait with telling people at work? It probably would be a huge relief! Good luck with your DS - is there anyway you could make his new bed more interesting with like a doona cover specially chosen by him or something?? Hope you're feeling better over the weekend!

my bbs are really sore and feeling tired and queasy but no throwing up yet. don't know if fs is planning another .bt but scan will be early may

Good Morning Ladies (or afternoon depending on what side of Aus you live on)

Sorry to have been AWOL but had heaps going on and just haven't had the time or energy to post. Sorry slack I know:redface:

I'm still ticking along, 10wks 3 days at the moment, last scan was 9wks and all was going nicely, bub was kicking around and had a good strong HB and was growing as it should.

My DD had gastro last weekend the DH had it Monday so I've gone nuts with washing, disinfecting and the Glen20. Thankfully it missed me but I do enough vomiting each morning to make up for it lol. Talking of vomiting, I woke up this morning, felt offish and it passed and NO vomits today so far! Even ate weetbix for brekkie, something I haven't been able to stomach for a few weeks! Part of me is thankful that my MS may be fading but another part of me is paranoid that something has happened although have had no cramps, bleeding etc. Was only sick with DD till approx 14wks so maybe it's easing earlier this time??

Big news is DH is getting a transfer across to Melb and we are now playing the waiting game to see if they can hold off till Sept so I can take Mat leave... Although am scared of moving at about 32wks, going to a new city where I have NO idea where to give birth or who'd I'd see :o

How's everyone else going?

All going well here (apart from ms) I can find bubs hb in seconds now that we know s/he has moved up lol. I really need to post an audio file at some stage but it is really hard to hear as recorded on my phone off a pair off a pair of earphones (which DS2 broke today and am so angry about as DS1 had already eaten the padding from off the ear pieces). Had a good day at work yesterday.,Well really yesterday was good, today I am going insane... Kids been driving me bonkers since I woke. DS1- I don't want to, I don't want to listen to you all he is saying pretty much :/

Hi all,

Glad the scans are going well ladies. :)

Sorry we all seem to be having bad MS. it sucks...

AFM: I'm freaking out about having 3 kids tbh..... I just really don't know how I'm going to cope... I think it's all hormones, cos DH isn't home with the kids this weekend, and I hate that, and I've been having freak out sessions over the weekend about different things, I am sitting here in tears as I type this. I'm now on ondansetron for the sickness, as nothing else was working, so will get another script for that this week. I have to head off to work now, hopefully it wont be as bad as Fri evening was.... I finished work at 11pm, normally finish at 9.30pm, had not dinner break, drink breaks, or pee breaks. So hopefully wont happen tonight. Anyway, I best get off of here and go and compose myself ready for work......

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx

Hugs V21 - hope work wasn't too horrid. No breaks at all?! That doesn't sound right! And working late as well :( Hope you'll be able to have breaks and finish normal time... You'll be right with 3 kids! I always think of people that have more than that and think, if they're alright I should be alright... (Although we're just having nr 1 and I'm freaking out and thinking it will be a lot of work!) My sister in law had 3 kids, in 3 years time. Now has the fourth one, luckily a little bit more time in between this time. Do you have family or friends close by who can look after the older 2 for a couple of hours when bub is there?

Damprye - nice to be able to locate bub with no problem! Interesting to see how much they move already!

Kbudgie - promising pregnancy symptoms! Now counting down days to scan! Not long before the beginning of May!

Greenslw - feeling better, hun?

Hi to VV, Lyra, Melster and anyone else I've missed... Sorry there are so many of us in here now!

AFM Having a cold :( Started off with sore throat, now also stuffy nose. Hope that keeping calm today and tomorrow and eating very healthy will help. Will also pop another vitamin c tablet. I just want to sleep all day. Thought I was getting past the first trimester tiredness, what's going on?

Mel so happy for you
V21 my brother has 3 kids and said #2 was the biggest shock 3 no probs.
Me4 sleep as much as you can will help heaps with cold. Also think about a humidifier I LOVE mine for DS and me. Nope work will have to wait I want to go for a job and not sure if pg will effect my chances don't want to risk it.
Damprye :hug: I hope ms goes quickly. Is school back?
VV exciting for a move and well done keeping the gastro at bay.

Me omg last night DS had a nightmare then a tantrum or 10. I got the worst ms at about 4 am and it hasn't left no puking but swollen tummy and very sick, so tired kept trying to sleep on the couch but DS wouldn't leave me alone and DS was being VERY unhelpful. Lucky this is the only off day I've had, can ms get worse at 12 weeks? Maybe it's placenta and IVF meds which I will stop Tuesday and scan Tuesday too so excited DF told his parents and brother nice to start sharing.

Hmm more blood what's going on bubs. 3 am freak out, this time dark brown not enough to hit the liner but enough. Rang health direct and spoke with a dr who said it was ok to wait till scan tomorrow. I wonder if bloated tummy had an impact yesterday. Still feel pg soar bbs ms and smell everything. So sick of this, scan tomorrow then off to GP I think. DS was climbing on me a bit yesterday but no DTD. Any thoughts? :pray:
