Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss June 2010

[ferrals5]

Hi ladies,

Just popping in as i am lurking now since i got my BFP i know a lot of you ladies from the ttc thread and most of you are nearly ready to have your babies or some have already had them i don't know if i should join this thread just yet as i have to get past a 12 week cvs i have a 1 in 4 chance this baby wont be healthy so i am scared to join and talk all baby stuff only to have to leave and start again in 8 weeks time.
But in the ttc threads i feel i should not discuss my fears as there are ladies still ttc.

I am 4 weeks and 2 days today i got my BFP last sunday/monday 6 days after my day 3 embryo TF equivilent to 9dpo which is a good sign the babys hormones are nice and strong as my little girls hormone were really low and hpt were really faint from the day AF was due so i am a little excited this baby might be ok but not allowing myself to get my hopes up just yet.

I have to ring our Genetics professor as soon as i have my BT to make an appointment for an early dating scan then i go back to the professors at the fetal medicine unit at royal north shore as i am classed as very high risk of a sick bub until we get the all clear so i have many appiontments and scans ahead of me and it is going to be a very scarey wait to see if this baby has smith lemli opitz syndrome or not.

So i hope you dont mind me lurking and popping in from time to time until i get the all clear then i will be a regular.

Sounds like you have a lot to talk about and this is the right place. please dont lurk! This is the place we all talk about our fears, probably more so than the bubbas. i wish you all the best and hope the next few weeks go very quickly so you can be happy knowig you have gotten the all clear! congrats on you BFP.

Thanks Luna!

Congrats on 11weeks Angelfish!

well i am so hoping bubs is ok, had brown blood in my cm, got a scan today so we will find out for sure what is happening. my last m/c starting off the same so im having a cry right now i am praying so hard bub is getting snuggly in their thats all

[Tegam]

Oh ashie, hugs huni! Its very scary time for you but im sure bubs will be ok! Let us know how the scan goes!

[dory]

Ferals - OMG.. sweetie I am crying tears of happiness for you. Congratluations. Dear sweet Abbi is watching over you. I can only guess the fear and dread you're likely to be feeling - but my sweet - believe in this pregnancy and this baby, even if you can only beleive for today and can't envision the future. One moment, one day at a time. I didn't think it would, but the dread does lift.. and sometimes it's replaced by new fears. For me it wasn't until at least 24 weeks that I started to feel less dread. I still can't actually imagine having this bubs at home but I beleive and am thankful for the pregnancy every day. I do know what it's like to have lots of appointments and be classifed as high risk. I found I was anxious before EVERY appointment and scan to the point of feeling ill ( not m/s ). Only recently has that anxiety started to dimish and I actually "enjoy" the appointments.

Make sure you get a good ob and maternal fetal medicine specialist/perinatologist - as you will need all the suport you can get.

I am so so happy for you and wish you the confidence to beleive in the pregnancy, right at this moment.

[dory]

Ashie - hope those results come through ok.... it's hard not to think that history is repeating itself. I have been there. Big hugs and hoping for some reassuring news for you.

[ric]

ASHIE - I am praying and hoping that everything comes out OK and normal for you. Hope ur scan gives you good news and reassurance that Bub is fine. Do let us know and try to relax. Sending Hugs to you.

Thanks ladies.

It makes me feel welcome and more comfortable knowing a lot of you ladies know about the up hill battle we have had to get this far and the terrible anguish of knowing we have a 1 in 4 chance of having another baby with SLO i am just so happy at the moment to actually be pregnant again i didnt think it was going to happen i still run to the loo and check for blood and i keep poas and the lines on my FR are as dark as the control line and that is with night wee not FMU so that has to be a good sign.

Ashie-I hope everything is ok that is my biggest fear at the moment seeing blood or brown cm.

Dory-I have to go through royal north shore fetal medicine unit because that is where our geneticist is and the professor that oversaw my pregnancy with Abbi so they know our history and they have all the genetic info to test this babies DHC7 gene which is where the mutation is it is pretty full on and they are fantasic down there they did everything they could for us so i will put my trust in them again.

Ric-MWAHHHH! thankyou so much nice to see i have not been forgotten.

Hey ferrals, hunny, so good to see you in here! I was born at royal north shore, and I'm awesome, so I'm sure they'll do a great job with you It's a 3 in 4 of not having SLO, mate. The majority of pregnancies will be OK, keep on repeating that to yourself.

ashie - could be nothing my love. Hoping your scan reveals some good news.

dory - probably time to start imagining taking your baby home! It's getting closer and closer! So excited for you.

Had a hospy appointment yesterday, and it went so so so well. They'r still happy for me to be in the midwifery program, same midwife every visit for the rest of the pg, even with the placenta praevia. Yay. DH is feeling more and more kicks, which is awesome. Tomorrow is my baby shower at work, since I finish on Friday next week

Thanks for all the support it reassured me alot!
