Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss August 2009

[starangelk]

Mrs Hendo - I think you are 4W3D and I got an HCG level of 70 at 4W1D so yours are higher than mine were From my calcs I am due June 1st......I saw you joined the BB thread but I am going to wait until after my scan in a couple of weeks and if they confirm the dates I have I'll come and say hi then

Sorry to hear you aren't well you poor thing. Rest up and take care of yourself.

[Mrs McAwesome]

oh thanks starangel.... I am feeling pretty rotten but still so happy because of the reason why.... i just pray that this little embryo grows into a big beautiful bubba.

I am so glad your tests went so well. I got a massive sleep of 3 hours this afternoon. No idea how I am going to continue at work. soooo tired. How are you going with tiredness? My dr told me to take some B6 vitamins so now every morning I take a pregnancy vitamin, pregnancy folate and now b6 vitamin... jeez...

I was really apprehensive joining that thread but I figured i am just going to be positive.. There only seems to be a couple in there so far so I prob will spend more time on this thread till then. Everyone here understands the apprehension after going through a miscarriage..

Mrs Hendo, another thing which will also help with the nausea is the blackmores morning sickness tablets, they contain B6 and ginger and really help. If you take several of these a day (as noted on the bottle) they should help with tiredness and nausea. Stay positive, stay happy, stay pregnant! (great BT results too!)

Limited brain function at this hour so hope everyone is enjoying themselves and I'll be back tomorrow to report on baby colour! (I'm so jinxing myself by talking about it so much!)

Morning everyone - I realised that yesterday was my first real day in this thread and I may have slightly hijacked it talking with Mrs Hendo

AFM with my dating scan - I am stuck in that wanting to have it asap and wanting to wait long enough to see a heartbeat if possible. Can anyone please give me some ideas about when I should be able to see a heartbeat? With my last pregnancy, I had a scan but the sac was small and they couldn't see anything inside - at that stage they said it was just too early.

Greenslw - have fun in the country, sounds like a great opportunity for some R & R

Megsmum - what you wrote is so lovely, I can't wait to feel like that about a baby of my own.

Hi to everyone else, like I said I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone better

[Mrs McAwesome]

Good morning everyone...

I'm sorry for the hijacking yesterday... I guess It's easy to get excited talking to someone who is going through what you are especially if your not really sharing with the outside world yet.

smallfrypus - good luck with the scan... can't wait to hear about it
starangel - I have the same question as you. I have never made it to a scan before, i have always miscarried before i have been far along enough to do one.

hope everyone else has an awesome Friday.....!!! I am hoping that my energies increase a bit. Thanks for the advice about the morning sickness tablets. i will definately try anything at this point.

Morning starangelk, I believe the heartbeat isn't visible until around 7 weeks. Unfortunately that means you've got a couple weeks to wait before you can hear it. Kinda in that TWW again huh? And probably just about as frustrating too!

Megsmum - what you wrote is so lovely, I can't wait to feel like that about a baby of my own.

starangel - You will have a baby of your own that you feel like this about, stay confident! I had a HCG of 84 at the same stage as you, so your levels are good too. And as for the dating scan, I had mine at 6w6d and we could clearly see E's HB on an external scan. Internal can pick it up earlier again. Good luck the waiting is awful I know....

starangelk & mrs hendo - my first pregnancy i saw the heart beat at 5wks 3 days so they can pick it up pretty early. this pregnancy we say the heartbeat at 6 weeks and we got to hear the heartbeat at 8wks. amazing. that is sound that will stay with you forever. i am so excited for you both. don't worry about the hijacking! stay positive and talk to your bubbas everyday. sticky sticky vibes all around.

afm - dh left this morning with 15 mates to head down the the rugby league grand final in sydney. he goes every year and has the time of his life. always rings up drunk telling me how much he loves me and the dog. too funny. i fly to kangaroo island on sunday for 10 days to a buddhist retreat/study course which i am excited about. i won't have any internet or phone contact with anyone so that is spinning me out a bit. not talking to dh and my mum and no bellybelly will be very strange. i fly back in very late 14th oct then wake up and head into the city for my amnio fist thing on the 15th. dh will then be in perth for work so i won't see him till 17th. mum is coming with me to amnio. i have to be brave and strong - for me, dh and our bubba. its all getting a bit overwhelming today now dh has gone. anyway, everything has a reason behind it and maybe this is preparing me to be a brave strong mother! josh's mum - i will be saying lots of mantras for you and i hope everything goes well with your amnio on 13th. everything crossed for you. to all the new girls - i know your journey, stay positive and i look forward to seeing you all here when i get back. to everyone that is close to 'popping' - i wish you all a safe and speedy delivery and can't wait to hear the lovely news that all your bubbas are here when i return. to everyone else on the road....stay healthy and happy. i will miss this thread but i look forward to jumping back on with my great news that the amnio showed up no problems!!!!! love and hugs to you all. xxx Zoe

Evening all I was disappointed to have missed Masterchef earlier in the week and now they are showing it as an encore

Smallfryplus - Thanks for letting me know, I am thinking I am going to have my scan right on when I think I am 7 weeks. I really really want to see a heartbeat this time.

Megsmum - I am trying so hard to stay confident, I really want to be a gushing mum. Someone asked me directly today when I was going to have kids and my response "As soon as possible!" - I think they were surprised at how direct I was - hahahhaha.

Zstar - WOW. Have an excellent excellent time. Sometimes I wonder how I would go without technology for a while, I have to admit I am a technology addict.........my iphone and my laptop would absolutely be on the 5 things I would take with me if my house was burning down. Can't wait to hear how your trip away goes and of course your good news amnio results.

Mrs Hendo - you poor thing having MS.........though I must admit I am a bit jealous. Now that my BT have finished I am looking for any sort of continuous pregnancy sign. I tried to PM you but I couldn't - I am not sure why?

AFM - I woke up feeling a bit strange today, I think I might be getting the flu. Tonight I was really tired and really hot and my temperature was up a bit. Have been a bit headachy as well. Trying to stay positive
