WTH So glad that everything is fine and cervix is closed. Must be a relief.
Meredith Aw congratulations on a baby girl! It's great that she's growing well. And IKWYM about the further you get, the more there is to lose. But there's a lot more to gain too. I'll be thinking of you and willing Upsy Daisy to hang in there :hug: She's a strong little one (and clever too! from the size of the head).
Megsmum It's wonderful that your baby girl (!!) is doing well and that you can relax and enjoy the rest of your pg.
Deejoy The gastro sounds scary, but glad your all ok. So cute that you Dss are so excited!
A little more relaxed today - my day off p/t with DD today!
Ecstatic to hear about Jenushka's birth and the arrival of Miss Lila - glad to see everything went so well!
Chappas - no consolations here - but having thrown up this morning I can offer a bit of reassurance that it is not necessarily a sign of something wrong - have had feral m/s both pgs now and can remember with first one - still had periodic m/s from time to time everytime there was a surge or shift in hormone levels, if I bent over while eating or too soon after eating (compressing what was already a very short torso with a piano accordian effect going on anyway with bub inside!:D) or if the toothbrush strayed too far back into my throat too soon after eating in that frantic morning rush for work...:rolleyes: I still get really nauseous when I get overtired with the juggling act of modern life - so I don't know - maybe I am just more susceptible to m/s than others??? Most days it is all cool - did get a small return in the last couple of weeks before DD was born but again it was sporadic thankfully! Good news is - I am very efficient at it and have developed a very karmic attitude to the whole process.
Deejoy17 - sorry to hear about such bouts of illness in the last part of your pg when you are just trying to get into the zone - understand about little ones and their love of 'bringing things home' - think I would prefer puppies though... I hope the winter bugs can stave off long enought for you to be able to dismiss them. Good luck with everything...
Megsmum - with all the effort you have put in to manage your condition - I am pleased to see it is paying off for you - the scan of your little girl sounded spot on and I am pleased that all of the indicators are good for you - Congratulations!!!
MeredithD - congratulations on your little girl!!! I have RSI from crossed fingers for you and have no intention of changing that atitude anytime soon. Is it just me or do we seem to have a bounty of girls at the moment on the thread????:p
WTH - I was sorry to see you had a scare sweeting - I am glad your Ob was supportive and able to reassure you. You have such a positive situation of people (yourself included) keeping an eye on things.
Pash, Greenslw - lovely to hear your good news - may it just keep coming!!!
Cherished1 - I hope you can reach a stage soon where you can feel comfortable with your pg
Hope you have a good week erybery! :D
Hope HannahD, Easha, babymiracles, smilanatu, mollycat, Possums, buliej and Teagz that you are all going well!
AFM - theoretically finish up teaching on July 13 - can't bloody come soon enough I think! As this is my final pg given two is enough in our case - I am trying to really scavenge some time to just enjoy time with DD before bub comes and to actually have enough space (sans everything that goes on in a day) to really connect with this pg and appreciate it as in my case, this is it.
Much love
Karen van
Hi Ladies
Meredith - Always thinking of you. So happy your little girl is strong - she will hang on! Take care of yourself.
Congratulations Jenushka - awesome news!!!!!!
WTH - Hope you are feeling better. Take care xxx
Deejoy - Hope you have recovered after your gastro. Thinking of you.
Megsmum and erybery - Hi. Hope you are both keeping well.
I have been in bed the last week with a really bad case of the flu. I was put on antibiotics (which stressed me out) and I am finally on the med. Actually got out of bed today!
Our bub is doing well. Strong heartbeat and very active. It is a relief to feel bub moving! We are only going to go to a max of 37 weeks so not that long to go now. Last day of work on the 7th August and I can't wait!
Anyway - I am going back to bed. Just know I am thinking of you all
Theresa xxxx
Theresa - awwwww, sorry you have been :sick: with the flu! Glad you are getting some zzzzz and that you have been feeling some reassuring kicks.
Karan van - WOW - one month of work to go, and counting. That is great you are going to make the most with DD before your little bubba comes. I am trying to do the same thing, though we have not told our 3-year old yet...
Pash - thanks for your kind words these past few days.
Deejoy - oh no! Sorry to read about the horrible gasto. A similar thing happened to me a few weeks back (though no contractions - just severe dehydration), so can relate. Sorry you are now down and out with a cold :rolleyes:.That is amazing you are counting the final days - such a special time for you, and lovely to be able to share it with your boys. Can't wait to read more in the coming weeks :D
Greenslw - I can totally relate to your post. Ever since my first MC I have been staring mortality and the real gift (often taken for granted) that birth is, in the face. My head rattles with statistics across the whole 40 week plan. I miss the blissful ignorance of my first PG - I don't ever think I will feel confident this time around. BTW - your clinic rocks! It is nice to know they are so cool about you calling, OCD or not!
Megsmum - THRILLED to read your scan went so well. Not long to go now, hun :dance:
Jenushka - have already replied in the birth announcements, but :hooray: again!
Erybery - I have an anterior placenta, too. Some days I barely feel a twinge, and only keep sane because my doppler is picking up the HB. When is your next Ob appointment?
Meredith - :clap: GREAT WORK, UPSY DAISY! Glad to read the scan went to plan! Can understand your concern re: cervix - but just want to let you know it is in "normal" range. What matters is variation. Should you have another scan any time soon, maybe see if they might check it for you so you can compare. Also, after 28 weeks the cervix will automatically shorten, as the final weeks of PG approach. I was very interested to read your thoughts on passing the 20 week mark. I found it quite significant, too. Why do they make it 20 weeks? I wish I had had the option of having more to do with my angels after their (earlier) passing. To have had the option of cremation and to keep them somewhere very special at home might have helped me a little with moving on. I asked at the time, but was not allowed. Of course, I will never have complete closure. IKWYM about the idea of having a real live baby in our arms - I feel exactly the same way.
Cherished - nice ticker ;)
:hello: Easha, Chappas, Tam, Lee, Mollycat and anyone I have missed
AFM - no more freaaakky CM, so pretty chuffed.
HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND LADIES
WTH - Yay for no more freaky CM!!
Jenushka - I know I have already said it too, but big congrats again :hooray:
Theresa - Sorry to hear you have been sick :( Flu while pg is no fun, but glad you are feeling better. Yippee for finishing work soon, I can still remember how excited I was about it when pg with DD LOL
Karen van - I'm feeling similarly to you, even though I don't work. Just want to enjoy the rest of the time with DD before the bub arrives and try to enjoy what little is left of the pregnancy now that I'm a bit more relaxed than I have been. We won't be having any more either, and I have a feeling that DD will be a bit of a handful when she no longer has our undivided attention :doh:
Deejoy - Oh no about the gastro :( I hope they looked after you well at NPH. And those dratted preschool viruses :rolleyes: I have had 3 of the stupid things now! Glad your DS's are so excited - my DD is the same too, she keeps asking me if the baby sister is going to come out yet LOL I hope not for a few more weeks! They are so cute the things they come out with aren't they?
Greenslw - How awful for your colleague's SIL and family :( It is so very sad when the innocence of being pg is shattered like that, I'm like WTH too had the blissfully ignorant first pg too which in hindsight I'm very grateful for. I just had no idea at the time though how lucky I was. Glad everything is going well for you :hug:
A big hi to everyone else, Meredith, pash, erybery, Easha, babymiracles, chappas and Cherished and of course anyone else that I've missed. Hope you all have a lovely long weekend - for those that have a long weekend that is ;)
Home Early YAYAYA
WTH I think IVF clinics have to cater for OCD because the do so many things 'to us' rather than for us. when it works they have to guide us through. Like you said no more ignorant bliss. But I apreciate it more.
Zachary's Mom sorry to hear about your flu :hug: hope you feel better soon. My cold is hanging on for ages I guess it's PG I usually bounce back 4 days tops not two weeks for a silly cold.
Yay for no more teaching Karen. I can totally understand having enough you really need to be switched on when you are the centre of attention. (i'm vague at 6 weeks)
Deejoy glad you're better but that is scary. Dam kindy hay they catch everything at school.
Hi to all YAYA long weekend, I'm off to the farmers market and coffee with old friend. DP is coming but I'll feed him up so he keeps happy.
ATM home early from work. Just putting together a pregnancy friendly nibble plate for a night out (really would prefer night in) but have to keep up with friendships I guess. Up side step son finishes work at 9.30 so that's my escape :D A lady at work asked if I was pregnant due to my emotional outburst and talking a little too much about babies. I lied :redface: but it is too soon. Last night I lay awake for hours planning my exit plan from work. I think it's going to be messy bummer. oh well it's a while off.
WTH - Sorry you had such a scare it must have been awful, really pleased everything ok :hug:
Meredith - CONGRATULATIONS! on having a little girl, glad everything went well with scan.
Megsmum - Glad everything went well with your scan, my DD came at 37 weeks also due to pe docs say this one may be brought early too.
Greenslw - Its awful to hear of such sad news:hug:
Deejoy - Sorry to hear you had nasty gastro bug and were in hospital, not long now.
Karen - Thanks for reassurance, bet you cant wait to finish work.
Theresa - Glad to hear everything is going well
Big :hello: to Easha, Pash,Erybery and anyone else hope you all going well and have super weekend
AFM - Feeling better at moment and feeling lots of little kicks now.
Erybery - its going to be a loooong 2nd half of these pg's but hopefully we all come out the other side vaguely sane!
Megsmum - yay on your little girl being fairly much confirmed and glad she is doing all the right things in there. Really not that long to go for you! Well done on buying something for her. Not sure when i will feel safe to go there.
Jen - congrats on the the arrival of your little bundle. Hope you are loving this time regardless of the lack of sleep
Dee - ewwwww gastro. You poor thing, what a scare. BUT so close now! You could go any day now ... how exciting
Karen - not long to finish work. At least then you will have even more time with DD
zachsmum - sorry about your flu. Evrybody is getting something atm. I hope you feel better very soon
WTH - yaay at CM staying "normal". Thanks for understanding my worries. I never had an "innocent" pg given 2 m/c's prior to DS but this pg is really doing my head ( and body) in. I hate wishing the weeks away. It could be my last pg and I would love to enjoy every moment but guess thats the price some of us have to pay. Here's hoping we both get well into the 30th weeks before the joy of holding healthy babies.
BTW, you are very restrained to have kept it a secret from DD for so long! My DS is only 2.5yrs but no way he could ignore my belly now. He also has to come with me to all my appts/ ultrasounds etc so would well and truly know even if we said nothing. He sadly knows far to much about scans etc!
Greenslw - Don't worry about lying re your pg. Don't tell until you are really ready. Its no one else's business
:crying: I've just been to the loo and when I wiped it was pretty wet but I didn't look at the tissue... On the last wipe I looked down and there was red blood on it :crying: I am so upset and in shock. I know people have bleeding and it is then fine... But again comparing it to last time I didn't have any bleeding, even after the fetus had died at 8 weeks... I didn't have the D&C until 4 weeks later and there was not spotting at all so I didn't expect to see anything this time even if there was something wrong. God I am just so upset I can't stop crying :crying:
Cherished - :hug: I'm sure you know what I'm going to say, but blood doesn't mean the end, several of us here are proof of that. But I know how scary it is :( Have you had any more BT's done at all? Can you have another one done today at all so you don't have to stress for the rest of the weekend?
I know this is not a lot of help :( but make sure you chase up your dr, or go to hospy and get them to see you OK? And take it easy too :hug: Will be :pray: that your little one is OK xo
Thanks Megsmum, I know it doesn't always mean the end but it is very scary :( I have an appointment to have a bt next wed. The blood started at 7:45 (when I saw it anyway) since then I have checked twice and am still wiping what is red/brown blood in more of an amount than spotting :( it's only just hitting my liner though and what I can see on the liner is brown so I guess it is still technically spotting rather than bleeding which is good. I have got ever so slightly cramps which aren't really painful. Can't see my OB (I don't think) and at $300 a pop I don't know if I want to go there just to be told there is a problem... If it's something bad than it's already started so I will know soon enough... Plus it's a public holiday on Monday so I can't even call, I'll just wait until the bt Wed and pray it is all ok :pray: I'm officially doing nothing now! I took my time and vacuumed than unpacked the dishwasher... Than I ducked down the street to pick out some movies and buy some chocie biscuts and now I will be on the couch until work on Tuesday, where I will sit on my bum again. I have at least stopped crying.
Megsmum - They certainly are cute with what they come out with, Matthew said to me on the way to preschool "Mummy we`ll have to buy the baby a birthday cake but he will not know how to blow the candles out so I`ll have to show him" That was just way too cute :D Yes the midwives did look after me well at NPH and Dr Lowe is just fabulous, I`m going into this c/sec knowing exactly what`s happening etc, such a lovely OB he is, wish I had gone to him right in the beginning with #1.
Cherised - hugs hun, I had bleeding with this bub from just under 5 weeks till 11 weeks, I came on a wekly basis and at times it was so heavy I was soaking pads, seeing blood is very scary but I hope all is well and bubs is tucked nicely in there.
Zachary`s mom - Sorry to hear you`ve had a bad case of the flu, rest up hun and I hope your much better really soon.
Karen - not long now till you finish up teaching.
Thank you girls :grouphug:
11 more sleeps to go :dance: I still have this head cold, making it so hard to sleep, now along with Matthew and myself Adrian is getting it, so glad baby boy is where he is atm although I`m getting so uncomfortable he`s in the best place away from these cold viruses we have in the house.
Oh Cherished that must be so scary for you,just wish you could see someone. Megsmum is right hope and :pray: that this is implantation spotting. You are doing the right thing taking it easy:hug:
Deejoy your situation is very reassuring I hope it does go away though, I cant' handle the worrying :rolleyes:
chappas thanks lovely
I have been taking it easy since 11am and when I wiped at 4:45 it was bright red again :( Ohhhhh I just want it to go away!
Hi All,
Well I have just read through all the recent posts but dont have pen or paper and my memory is like a sieve at the moment. What I do remember is a few of you are having girsl - yaya girls clothes are so cute.
I also note a few of you are very close to popping so I pary all goes well for you
There also a few of you that aren't have the greatest of times at the moment - Cherish - Hang there - it will all work out.
Hugs all round
AFM - Saw the doc and all is going well - 25 weeks now. Bub is very active at the moment which is very cool. Still very tired and would love to go to bed now but would be awake in the wee hours of the morning. Took another belly shot this morning and I have certainly grown over the past 4 weeks - belly huge so I had to buy more clothes. Speak to you soon
Cherished :hug: Any bleeding is so scary. I know how you feel about not wanting to go to the ob. It's not like they can change the outcome at this stage anyway. Sounds like you're doing all the right things by taking it easy. I know you know this, but wanted to say it again anyway. Spotting doesn't mean it's all over. I had a really heavy, red bleed for 2 days, with clots as big as my palm, but things are still going ok. :hug: thinking of you and Tiger, and hope you don't have any more bleeding.
Congratulations Jenushka!! Well done and welcome to Lila!
Karen Van Just over 4 weeks till you finish work! How does DD feel about the little brother/sister on the way? How long did you wait till you told her?
Therese That does sound scary. Glad that you're feeling better and that bub is doing well. :hug:
Greenslw So you've had someone guess that you're UTD already! Bet that took you by surprise. Why will your exit from work be messy? I think mine will be messy too. I signed a contract to work there till the end of the year, but I'm due late in Nov, and HAVE to be there till my project finishes in end of Oct. I just hope bubs doesn't come a month early.
WTH Glad that you've had no more scary CM.
Meredith Maybe as you reach the 30s it will be easier to relax and enjoy your pg? Hang in there Upsy Daisy xo
Deejoy Very exciting! Do you think your little man is going to arrive early, late, on time-ish?
Lee Are you out there? I hope you're feeling better. I know your kids are probably keeping you busy too, but hope you can get on here soon and tell us how you're going. xo
AFM I was excited to buy my first maternity item yesterday. Elastic waist jeans! I was dreading this as a start to frumpy-mum-clothing, but elastic waist jeans are brilliant! I can't believe that PG women have been keeping this secret for so long! I don't understand why everyone doesn't wear them. Took all the pain out of jeans shopping, cos the first pair I tried on, fit! Sorry about being so excited about something so frivoulous.
Hello to anyone I missed. HOpe you're all having lovely weekends.
Pash OMG that must have been horrifying with clots that size! Your story is very reassuring for me!
Easha thanks :hug: enjoy your shopping! :bellyrubs:
AFM It's a bit heavier today and red so I'm off to the ER when dh wakes up. I'm not in pain and I think everything is fine however it's a great reason to get a scan and to have my HCG checked today... I've read you can't always see a heartbeat at 6 weeks but gee it'd be so exciting if there was one!!! I have an appointment on wed to see my GP for the HCG levels and I wasn't seeing my OB until June 22nd for an 8 weeks scan... So I'll be jumping the cue today and having a check. I pray it is all ok :pray:
Cherished - aghhh bleeding is so horrid in pg. I am the QUEEN of pg bleeding and i can certainly reassure that it is not always the end. This pg i bled continuously from 5-16wks with bouts of extremely heavy clotting etc.This baby even stuck it out through the m/c of her twin so some of them can be very tough indeed.
I do think a trip to the ER is warranted. At least you will know whats going on. You certainly may see a HB even at 6wks. I have seen 4 of my babies' HB's clearly at 5w6d
Thanks Meredith, I've shed a lot of tears today :crying: it has gotten worse, all red blood now, I would say it's a light flow now. Not too painful, just feels like my period. I'm so upset and worried. I know many woman bleed and things are ok but I just wish it wasn't happening to me. We went to the ER and sat there for 1 and a half hours and than decided to leave. We would have been there for about 7 hours if we had stayed and it's not like they could actually do anything to affect the outcome whether it be positive or negative. I'll go to the dr as planed Wed and maybe they can give me a referral for an ultrasound so that I don't have to wait... I'll be getting a HCG BT anyway.
:hug: cherrished my thoughts are with you.
Pash, Similar reasons to you. I signed on till 30June2010 but we are tendering for our service in July this year (no worries except fog on the brain but I'm ok) but the major one is in January. So I'll either be working from home or be waddling into meetings. I really don't want to work much past the 15th of January not every day. Maternity Leave wont kick in till March so I'm not sure what they'll do. I'll have to make a phone call to the union this week I think, just know my options. They are a really really good company but who knows what companies can be like when they're faced with PG staff.
ATM DP is a pain in the but. I had a huge vent in another forum and can't do it again or I'll hit him with a bat. Just to say that he is yelling at everyone and doing the poor me. He suffers from depression and anxiety, refuses to take medication and 80% is pretty on the ball the other 20% it is like being in a phyc ward I tell ya. (I'm exadurating a little) Just the not knowing what's up his nose and not being able to fix it. I know I could leap at him give him a cuddle and try and make it better but it ****s me having to pander to his stuff. I know I'm a hormonal mess, but common this is temporary and at last conversation he wanted a baby too. :wall:
Oh Cherished, so sorry you have to suffer through this w/e just not knowing. Thats awful!
I am hoping the bleeding stops soon for you and you get some positive answers on Wed ( could you bring this forward to Tues?
If the bleeding gets heavier or you get pain then may be worth heading back to ER. You shouldn't have to suffer on your own
Hey Greenlw it's funny us both being in here and belly buddies :p I'll send your DP a second message from me :angry: hehehehee
Meredith Wed is the next day that I can see the dr... It is getting heavier as the day goes on and more painful but If I end up in bad pain etc I will do something but I think it will be fine :rolleyes: I told DH about your story about bleeding for so long and the other woman who had bleeding especially poor pash with size of those clots! and it helped ease his mind considerably too.
Thanks again girls :grouphug:
Cherished - I am thinking of you, I really hope the bleeding stops soon and that everything will be ok! big hugs xox
ervybery honey thank you :hug: God it must seem so trivial compared to what you have been through... If anything you give me hope that everything will be ok ;) A few of your beautiful October belly buddies have posted me their support in my new belly buddy group and I am just overwhelmed with how cared about I feel from you girls. I will let you know how I am going
Cherished - I am thinking of you and praying that everything works out fine. My thoughts are with you xxxx
Thanks to everyone for the get well wishes. I am well on the road to recovery after 3 weeks and mild pneumonia. I am actually going to work tomorrow with just the remnants of a cold.
I hope you are all keeping well and had a relaxing weekend.
Cherished - :comfort: I have not been online over the weekend and was sorry to read you have been going through such a difficult time. My thoughts are with you :hug: and I hope tomorrow brings you some promising news :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Just quickly... heading out to the movies.
There was nothing there at the scan....
Cherished - OMG - so truly sorry, hun :comfort: That must have been a sad and unwelcome shock for you. I think you have been very brave through all of this and hope to see you back here in the very near future. :hug: Please feel free to PM me any time. OK? Luv WTH xx
Just a quick one to let you know that my hcg is 37,000 and I'm getting my heart beat scan Monday :D :leap:
Cherished - Oh no :hug: Hun I am so very very sorry....I wish that there were more I could say....ditto to what WTH said, if there's anything I can do that might help please LMK? Take care of yourselves, you and DH.
BBL for some persies.
Cherished - I am so sorry. It's just not fair that you have had to go through this again so soon. I wish there was something I could do or say to make you feel better at the moment. Im here for you if you need me. Big hugs xox
Cherished - just wanted to send you a huge hug:comfort: My thoughts are with you
Cherished - very sorry to read your sad news, it's devastating to loose a much wanted bub. Be kind to yourself, and take things easy for a while. There are a number of us in here with multiple losses - and I swear that eventually we will all get that much longed for baby. I hope your next pregnancy is the one. Hope you have someone looking after you :hug:
Pash - hi girl - thanks for checking on me. I'm so happy things are progressing well for you - and good for you buying those maternity jeans. You're a trendsetter!!! I have a confession - I've kept wearing this denim maternity skirt I had with Remy - just cos it's so comfortable. How have you been feeling? It's all good, and by god you deserve it!! By the way - are you finding out if you're carrying a hot dog or a cheeseburger at your next scan!
Meredith - How you doing? Good to see your ticker past the halfway mark. What a ride it's been for you. Not that long now hun. And congrats on having a pink one - just lovely!!
Hi to everyone else - sorry but will try to get to know everyone in here as I go.
AFM - Symptoms still running rampant. So tired, and the nausea has STILL not left the building, but I'm hoping for brighter days ahead. Thank god dd1 still enjoys day sleeps, I've been joining her! Have my nuchal scan this Thursday - and for those of you who know me - it's a bit of a scary one for me - so I'll be very glad to get it out of the way, and praying for a low risk good result.
BB again soon.
Lee xo
Cherished - I am so very sorry, that is such sad news. Sending :comfort: take care.
thanks girls.....
I got very drunk last night... THANK GOD! I have a dr's app today to get another HCG test but it is pointless as the scan showed no signs of pregnancy.... Is it worth having so that I can compare them for my next pregnancy? I kinda think that each pg is different and why bother iykwim? I had a HCG test on Monday (the day I actually miscarried) and if the scan had of been ok the one today would have showed me in the HCG was going up or down.... obviously it is going down! What do you all reckon?
I am off to work now for 3 hours than I have the day off with dh again....
Cherished, I'd be inclined to get it checked just to make sure that it really is going down - you are right though, I wouldn't use it to compare your next pregnancy, they are all different. Certainly my HCG levels were higher in my pregnancy that miscarried at 12 weeks than they have been in this one, so I personally don't think it is helpful to compare.
Big :hug: hun, take it easy today.
Cherished I'm so sorry, that is just devastating :hug: to both you and DH.
About the HCG, I would get the test just in case. Two reasons: 1) I had no heartbeat at my 6wk scan, and I was spotting with (small) clots. I (and my London Ob) thought it was all over, so I drank some wine, ate half a wheel of camembert. The next week, flew back to Aus, saw my Aussie ob, and there was a heartbeat on the scan. I don't want to give you false hope, but it is good to be sure. 2) If it is all over, It's good to know that that your HCG has gone back down to normal and that your body is coping. It's not much fun and you can always POAS later to make sure your HCG is back down I guess.
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this again. It's just not fair. You're such a strong chick to head to work after this. Take care of you both :hug:
Lee Not good that the MS & tiredness is knocking you about, but the midday naps sound lovely. Wish I could have a bit of that too! All the best for your NT scan tomorrow. Will be thinking of you. I totally understand that sweaty-palmed-deer-in-the-headlights feeling just before a scan. Do they do BTs as well for the NT risk?
Oh, and I won't be finding out whether monkey is sporting a cheeseburger/hot dog! I'm not really a pink-for-girl-blue-for-boy kinda girl. And in my culture, we're theoretically not meant to name or buy anything for the baby until it's born anyway. Not that we'll stick to that exactly. But I think we'll love it no matter what, so we'll just wait and see. Are you going to find out?
AFM I had an appt with the MW today, and the HB sounded good to me. Though she didn't do the 2nd of the NT bloods cos I'd been bleeding and apparently that can falsely push up the risk? Don't know why? If I keep bleeding, she said I should come in and see one of the Obs on Friday to try to figure out why I'm still bleeding (and still no exercise, no DTD). Otherwise NT bloods next week.
Thanks Megs mum and pash, I know what you mean about being told it is all over with no heart beat etc and then finding one... but the scan showed no signs of pregnancy, no sack, no fetal pole, no heartbeat etc .... she said if I am still pregnant it is not a normal scan and based on the description of what I passed on Monday I did have a misscarriage. She did an ultrasound on the stomach and an internal one just to make sure but she couldnt' see any signs of pregnancy..... I will ge tthe tests done anyway it's not far out of my way so I will go.
Thanks again
Oh Cherished - so so sorry to hear of your loss. Just so devastating as we all know. Might be worth thinking about asking your Dr for some extra tests given this is your 2nd m/c. A lot will just recc having them after 3 losses but I requested them after my 2nd. I couldn't bear the thought of going through another loss if there was something that maybe could be done.
I hope you can take some time off to recover an grieve for your angel.
