Hi, can I join in. I had a blighted ovum which passed in October. I'm now 5.5wks pregnant again. I have a scan booked for the 29th which will hopefully put my mind at ease. I am so pretrofied that I am going to have another BO. I just hope I see a a little Jellybean with a beating heart.I found out at 4 weeks so I have been stressing since then. My hcg levels very early on in the piece were 7 and then 33 just 3 days later. My Doctor said this was normal. I've never monitored Hcg but that sounded low to me and freaked me out. I have spoken to other ladies and they say its fine to have those levels. I have a referral sitting there for another BT if I like, but I'm scared that if I do have it done and my levels are low I will just break down. Some days I have been distracted and seem to GWTF but others like today I become obsessed and google everything I possibly can to try and make myself feel better....I think I have realised it does not work!In some cases it makes me feel worse when I read some peoples stories. I don't know how I am going to last until the 29th- I feel like throwing up when I think about it because it will be D day. Sorry for having such a massive rant. I will read up on your current posts and hopefully get to know some of you
Indi - sorry for you previous loss. I can understand you stressing. Re: hcg levels, it's the doubling time that counts. Go to betabase.info and enter that data there. Your doubling time is about 32 hours, which is very good for early on.
Thanks Tash, I have already stalked the Betabase. I guess I will just have to wait until the 29th. I do feel much better after writting down all my worries!
Welcome Indi1, I reckon go get the BT done for the interrim between now and the U/S. Will help to put your mind at rest and give you a more enjoyable time over Christmas! As Tash said, your levels were rising well early on, I have no idea what mine have been cos docs have never done them, they always told me it wasn't necessary :P go figure!
Wow Tash that's really early! Are you peeing heaps? That's something I had for most of the first trimester, it drove me incredibly insane as I didn't remember that happening with the other two. Died down after around 10 weeks or so but has started up again of course!
Take care all, I'm heading off on holidays tomorrow so will be away til Christmas! Stay safe and happy and keep all those beautiful babies growing!
Smallfryplus it's a surprise, but when I look at my baby pic I think it looks like a girl but others thing boy so who knows, only a few weeks till I do... Well done on the low weight gain, I haven't weighed but I don't think I've put on much either. Sorry to hear your buba is not were she should be but 6 weeks is a long time to change Turn bubba turn.
Tanya I hope you enjoyed the concert
Twinsister enjoy your time away and relax
Welcome tashybabe,
Welcome Indi1
Nice to see some happy vibes before Christmas.
Well my scan was great! plecenta has moved and is now on the back wall well away from the exit! bubs is the right weight size and there is plenty of fluid. Wonderful. I've done so well my OB said I can now go a week over if bubs needs it not exit on EDD. so very very happy that we've exceded all expectations. As if there was any doubt!
4 weeks of work to go but only (durm roll) 12 days. I feel the need to stop but I need to clean my office and do a propper handover. Then I need to let it go. This is the hard bit, It will be fine but being the control freek I am I worry, but at the end of the day it's not up to me all the time is it......
Hi everyone - just thought I would pop in to wish everyone a very merry christmas. To those who have had babies this year - enjoy your first christmas with your beautiful miracles. For those who are pregnant and due in 2010 - I wish you all the very very best.
Welcome to all the new people in this thread too - hope you have very happy and healthy pregnancies.
AFM: Looking forward to my first christmas as a mummy. Little Molly is an absolute delight and seems to change every day. We have had some challenges along the way so far - Molly seems to have silent reflux plus a very weak suck so feeding has been a big problem (and as a result she has had sleep issues too) - my time is taken up with lots of expressing and feeding molly with a bottle (which is sometimes a battle). Anyway think she has turned a corner and is sleeping better and looks to be gaining weight again - thank goodness. Am soooo grateful to have this precious miracle in my life though and am loving being a mummy at last. I would like to thank everyone in this forum for your support this year - pregnancy after miscarriage is very stressful as you would all know but soo worth it in the end, and being able to vent in this forum is a godsend.
Wow.. I can't beleive I'm actually posting in here again!! I've been reading for a week or so but haven't built up the courage to actually post!! By my unreliable calculations (I have a crazy cycle), I'm only 5w 1d and am already starting to... hmmmm, what are the right words... crap myself!! LOL. My last loss was in August, so I'm extremely happy to be pg again already but the pain of it all is far too fresh in my mind. Both my losses were missed m/c.. so no signs at all until the u/s.. which really sucks. I'm constantly wondering if my little jellybean is still with us. Thankfully, for the first time ever.. I've got a few symptoms.. which is just BRILLIANT!! I want to be as sick as possible.. just to be reasurred even a tiny bit! I didn't have any m/s with DS or any of my other pg. It's so strange and makes me worry even more. So I'm one of those crazy, obsessive people who just desperately wants to hurl!! LOL.
Anyway, I hope everyone is ready for Christmas... even though we can't enjoy lots of the good food that comes with it!! I'm looking forward to somehow getting through the next 8 months with you all. At the moment, I'm just hanging out for the next 7 weeks to be over.
Crazy lady!
so very very happy that we've exceded all expectations. As if there was any doubt!
