Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September - October 2011

[CruisingTurkey]

Hey Embo

So happy for your BFP !! I put my cycle details into then EDD calculator and I am due 23rd June as well (I think?!). I am trying not to think about it too much.

I know how you feel about not being as excited. I am so pleased to be pregnant again cause it means the first one in July wasnt a fluke, but I just cant seem to let myself believe that it is actually going to 'stick'. I have been given some medication to take until the next scan (14th Nov) but the wait is killing me!! I keep doing pregnancy tests every 2 or 3 days to check if its still there. I cant wait another 2 weeks and go ion blind for the scan and then be guttered in the doctors clinic and have to walk out in tears in front of everyone. Is that weird to keep testing???

I really want to get excited but I really need to see a heart beat before I believe its real.

HPL - i am so sorry this is happening to you. My heart breaks every time I hear of a precious baby leaving.

Fingers crossed for everyone.

CT its common after you've experienced a loss to feel the way you currently do. Big hugs. I'm hoping the wait isn't long and you see a beautiful heartbeat on the screen flickering away. It's the worst waiting isn't it.

Hey everyone else. Sorry for the lack of persies its 3.30am and I've been up with reflux and heartburn type symptoms. That'll teach me for eating a pack of salt and vinegar chips before bed. It's been so bad tonight I've actually been vomiting. It hasn't been this bad for a while. Usually a hot shower on my back and the zantac help but I had a 24hr zantac at 6pm last night. Oh well if I have to have another one I will but I'm trying to hold off as the pain isn't so bad now after being sick....

Gahhh 3 in the morning, the only good feeling about being awake this early is feeling bubba having a party in my belly. I just want to be over 26 weeks... One milestone I'm hoping to reach to bring home a live baby... One more week to go... And I've got a 3d scan to celebrate the milestone on Monday night. Nervous.

I'm back again! Sorry, I've finished work now, but life just seems to be getting busier, not quieter! I think I've finished buying the things I need for hospital and to bring baby home (not that we needed much), but again, it still doesn't seem quite real!

So many new "faces" in here - how fantastic These babies are all so lucky to have Mummies who want them soooo much that we're willing to brave the heartache to bring them home. Just remember that. Not all babies are this lucky, that's for sure. No way will we ever take our kids for granted.

Congratulations to Dantri, CT, Embo and JJ - HPL, very sorry for your bad news, I hope things turn around quickly for you, sending lots of your way.

To all of you wondering if it's normal to feel worried - um, yeah! I had a couple of extra scans, and my Ob said "there is no harm to the baby to have a scan every week if it makes you feel better and less stressed". A stressed out Mummy is worse than an extra scan. So have them if you need them! After 12 weeks I didn't have any extras.

LnD - I hope the heartburn settles! Have you tried lots of things? TUMS, Mylanta umm, there are lots of other over the counters (thankfully) it's not a problem I've had, but certainly worth getting on top of, especially if it's stopping you sleeping! Good luck for the 3D scan on Monday

Jess - glad things are just trucking along, boring is best you know!

AFM, this has been a pretty boring pregnancy, except for my head that is. This is a very good thing. Baby's still quite happy sitting in there, lots of braxton hicks, still lots of movement. I'm off to the Ob today to see if any descent has happened, and this time I will be asking him about the size of this big 'un! FWIW, I didn't go into labour with DS and was induced at term (because of complications), so I doubt I'll go early boo, I'm ready to get this bubba out! I've read Birth Skills, which I really loved, don't read it at night or you dream about labour, I've been sitting in positions to encourage an anterior lie... just wait and see now!

WB- Oh yay..so excited that in another couple weeks we will have a new little bundle of joy within our group!! Now your bubs a suprise right?

[WannabeMum]

Not to me, DH or the list here We're keeping it quiet to the rest of the world though. I would have liked a surprise, and next time it WILL be a surprise! I don't even like saying it, in case either they're wrong or somehow I make it real by putting it out there in the world

[JennaJayen]

4.5 hours until I get my bHCG results... getting very antsy here lol

[Khaleesi]

FX for fantastic results JJ

[WannabeMum]

JJ - not long now! Only an hour to go, for you

Went to the Ob - baby still high and mobile don't think this one's coming early! But everything else is good. Feet swelling is normal end of pg stuff without being able to rest, BP is normal etc. I am not completely over it yet, but ready to meet this little bubba. Or big bubba. That's the only thing I forgot to ask!

[embo]

Goodluck jj - thinking of you!

[*The_Mrs.*]

JJ- Good luck!! Let us know

WB- HAHA...maybe I should pay attention to the list a bit better. Do you have her name picked out yet?

Cheshire- How are you!! How is little one

AFM- DH introduced me to EBay today and man oh man Im addicted...Ive already won 2 cloth diapers, a wetbag, 2 halo sleepsacks, a nursing cover

[JennaJayen]

Thanks for your thoughts and positive vibes everyone!

Levels were only 68, so still low. They've only been doubling every 48 hours the last 4 days, I had more bloods done today to get an idea of what is happening in a 48 hour period and I see my doctor again on saturday.
I have to say it's really nice to actually have a doctor who is genuinely concerned about my previous losses, all the other doctors I've seen have just said it's bad luck and I'm young and have plenty of time to have kids. I've always had to force them to do any tests

[LysnDan]

Just to let you all know I'm taking a break to get my head around a few things. So I'm not ignoring at all. I'll still be stalking just not posting as much ...if at all for the time being. Sorry. Look after yourselves and your bumps and ill be back....

the mrs ~ yes ebay is very addictive so is craigslist

[*The_Mrs.*]

I had a special ultrasound today to discover why Im measuring 5 weeks ahead. We discovered a few things:

1.) Babies weight is perfect..measuring spot on
2.) Baby is footling breech
3.) My cervical length went from 4.9 (4 days ago)..to 3.1
4.) they checked my amniotic fluid and mine and babies kidneys and refused tot ell me what it was, they said to wait until my dr.'s appt on monday.

Something is definitely up with my amniotic levels and my cervical length is not good at all..

[Khaleesi]

Jess hope it's nothing serious & your both fine.

LD hope your ok.

JJ i hope your levels double & you get good news at next appt.

All well here Bambi is almost 6wks old & getting so big.

[*The_Mrs.*]

Called my doctor and they said my amniotic fluid levels were perfect along with babies weight
So they are chopping up my measuring 5 weeks ahead to my rare uterus type
Preterm labor is still possible ut Im not as worried about that...so HAPPY she is ok in there
