Thanks. I'm not going to get bloods done, it wouldn't have changed anything last time anyway because my body still thought I was pregnant with a growing bubba until the 12 week scan showed otherwise. And I'd completely obsess over them. I am getting an earlier scan though but we're going to wait until 8 weeks so there should def be a heartbeat or not. I couldn't stand 'waiting and seeing' so don't want to go earlier. Also bubs stopped growing last time around 6-7 weeks so want to wait until we are over that age. I'll wait and see how I feel about a 10 week scan but think I might stick out the 4 weeks in between so I can get a 14 wk scan just before we tell everyone. I'm still nervous that after the 12wk scan something could go wrong and then it'll be like last time where we'll tell the fam at Xmas only to have to untell them a couple of weeks later. So scans at 8, 12 and 14/15 weeks. Is that ott?
I'm also worried for my friends that they've announced before their 12 week scan. Even though they've seen the heartbeat etc. Given my experience I'm still worried. As if I didn't worry enough before all this TTC and getting pg guff. Holey moley, only going to get worse though isn't it, being a mum.
Well I went to my follow up appt at the hospital this morning to the early pregnancy assessment service and wasted 1 hr 45 mins of my time, I had told the dr at emergency it would be too soon after my u/s on Tuesday but I went along anyway, only to be told it's too early for another u/s, it was like they had to justify their existence, so glad I'm going through a private obstetrician and not the midwife service at my local hospital, I'm off to the GP at lunch to have so bloods taken though to make sure hcg is rising. I know they could still be rising even if I have miscarried but it will be nice for some short term reassurance before yet another 2WW til my next u/s. At least all the symptoms are still there, I am so hungry all the time, if I don't have food in my mouth I feel sick, so tired, sore boobs, hurt myself at work the other day pulling my chair it is got caught on the floor mat and I have strained my sacroiliac joint - not fun!
I'm hoping you are all well and gearing up for all our scans soon xxoo
Dantri- Thats how I was after my second miscarriage...with this bub I refused hcg bloods as I knew if it was to happen..it would happen. This time around I am feeling things will go so much better for you! Are you going to get more ultrasounds though in the beginning?
Well I got the bloods back from yesterday and they seem to be rising well - 55300 from 27384 on Monday, crossing everything this means it is going really well, have now booked another u/s for Tuesday morning so I will be 6 wks 6 days and hoping for that heartbeat!
