This is the 1st time I've had a chance to write about my experience. Well I went for my appointment on 24th March thinking I was just going for a "booking in" appointment at the local clinic with my midwife. As soon as I told her that I believed I was roughly 15 wks along and hadn't been scanned, she couldn't believe it & arranged for me to go straight to the hospital for a scan! I was sooo petrified the whole way there & was crying - luckily my DP was with me & had to practically force me into the scan room - I refused to get money for scan pics coz I thought there would be nothing there again!
Well we were absolutely delighted to be told that our baby is absolutely fine & was jumping around like mad!!! As soon as the sonographer put the doppler thing on my tummy, she announced right away that I could relax because the babys heartbeat was going strong - I actually squealed with joy - she could hardly scan me I was laughing & crying all at the same time!!! She also told us to our surprise that the baby was measuring 16 wks - couldn't believe it
I am now 18.5 wks and feel the baby moving about all the time - I am sooo delighted and so is my DP - I was convinced I was going to be told it was just another miscarriage but I am delighted & have been walking on a cloud ever since that day! I pray for good news like this for every single woman on this forum - there is nothing in the world quite like the relief and sheer joy of a viable pregnancy after miscarriage - I will never forget my experience!!!
Congratulations! It too was very hard for me to be calm when I saw my baby and the hearbeat on my first ultrasound! It is so scary to have the ultrasound but I know you felt soooo much better after seeing your baby!
yay im so glad for everyone! i have my scan in 2 weeks the first one! im very nervous as im not showing and feel no movement at 18 weeks i have no pain or bleeding though and heard the heartbeat at 15 weeks and still vomit often so i have to stay positive! im sooooooo scared!
I had my 16 week checkup. Heard the baby's heartbeat again and my daughter got to hear it too. She told my husband he needed to bring baby food home. She is so excited! A few more weeks and I get to have an ultrasound and see if the baby is a boy or girl! Hope everyone else is doing well, too!!
mom0f2.5- YAY! im so happy for you! i had to postpone my scan and am booked for the 18th so just over a week away im so scared but get kicks everyday now so i think all should be ok. keep us updated!
I just have to say, I am so glad to have found this thread!!
I was diagnosed with a Blighted Ovum in November last year and ended up having a D&C in December... I have only just found out about a week ago that I am pregnant again and while we are very excited we are extremely nervious and can't wait to have our first scan! I wondered if I should of been feeling the way I was but my thoughts are exactly what everyone has desricbed in this thread.
hayles - hi there and welcome to what seems to have a become pregnancy after blighted ovum thread! haha almost like a belly buddies group! i hope all goes well with you and the nerves never stop trust me! im over halfway and still am scared everyday! its sad how that stupid little sac takes away all the excitement of getting a BFP isnt it.
