That's good that you can speak to the midwife Claire, hope she can put your mind at rest.
I'm going to end up with a list of 300 questions/concerns to bring up during my booking in appointment :/ x

Kwarbees scan was like... Three hours ago, if memory serves...

That worries me a little... I'm sure she's fine and just busy. We'll hear from her when she's ready, I'm sure.


Those with discoloured things and worrying niggles etc...
Basically, in pregnancy, both nothing and everything is "normal"

I do NOT mean this to sound insensitive, I swear, just don't really know how to explain it...
When I had my bleeding/crampy last week, I was worried. When the first scan was inconclusive, I was worried. Somewhere though, I just kinda, felt like it was okay.
There was a girl on here recently had a very similar experience. Crampy/bleeds... But she was convinced without a doubt that it was just, wrong. She sadly (eventually, I don't know which region she was in but her docs sounded awful) got her scan around 9 weeks, to find the baby had stopped growing/developing quite a while earlier (around 6 weeks I think it was).
Yet another girl on here had the same again. She wrote of the most terrible bleeding, worse than AF, the crap that poor girl went through in her early weeks was unreal. She now has a healthy 18 month old.

Crazy shit goes down, ladies, and every feeling/emotion is up for grabs now.
Ultimately (you'll probably hear this a bit over the next few months): trust your instincts.
When I had my first, and people told me the same, I was all "but I know NOTHING!" (Not an exaggeration, I knew Jack shit about pregnancy/birth/small children), "how on EARTH can I trust my instincts???".
I promise you, your body will let you know.

A big one to watch for is thrush (common and not due to "dirty" in pregnancy).
If you get itchy, call your midwife. It's very easily fixed.

The other thing I will suggest, if you have any weird stuff (in underwear/toilet/whatever), snap a pic on your phone. If you end up seeing MW/GP about something, you can say "I know it's kinda gross, but I actually took a pic, if you think that would help..." (I done this with one of my sons nappies once). As medical professionals, they're happy to have the visual aid because it takes the difficulty of trying to explain stuff away, and they can clearly see what you mean.
Then as soon as you've seen them, (used pic or not), you can delete it.

 

[LaceyKeo]

Ask your questions here, Crawkey, we may be able to help
(If they're questions you're comfortable asking, of course).
Sometimes internet anoninimity (holy shit, no autocorrect? That's actually a word ) can be easier than face-to-face.

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd post in here to keep you all updated. Scan didn't go well unfortunately. Baby has a heartbeat but is measuring 'less than 5 weeks' at 3.2mm. The amniotic sac is irregular which isn't good and the pain I've been experiencing is from a cyst on my ovary. The cyst shouldn't cause too many problems but the baby size and sac means it's not looking good for us. They couldn't seem to tell us much at all but you know it's bad when they take you to the private room. Being scanned again in 10 days on the 28th but I'm not too hopeful. We're just really sad and worried at the moment. Feel like a failure.

Thanks for all the best wishes, I really appreciate it. Think I'm going to take a break from PF for a while. Wishing all you ladies all the luck in the world xx

Kwarbee
We're all right here, any time you need to talk.

Surely there still being a heartbeat is a good thing? I would think?
Is there any chance at all you're just, not as far along as you thought?

I know you said you were gonna take a breather from here for a bit, which I totally understand, so I don't really know why I'm asking questions...

I am so very sorry for your news, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your next scan will be better for you.

Take care hon

I fel like I've missed so much these past few days. Kwarbee sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's just earlier than you thought!! Sending lotsa hugs to you!!

I've been feeling sick all day long,but seems to be only when I'm hungry,so have got lots of snacky bits around the house and at school. I think I've gone off chicken though,which is frustrating as we eat a lot of it. I just couldn't eat it last night. I only wanted the veg on my plate. My oh (bless him) offered to make some more veg as it couldn't eat the chicken. He then said I read that you may go off some foods,so I was prepared for this. Love him!!! Millie I'm the complete opposite. I'm loving cheese at the minute. I bought some snack packs so it was easy to have some.

I had my booking in appointment on Monday and have already had to make the decision about where we will have the baby. Makes things so much more real. I was spot on with my EDD too. I will be 13 weeks on Christmas Day so the midwife said it'd be quite likely that I'll have my scan before Christmas. Which is great news!! I can't wait. I also told a colleague at work that I was expecting and she's expecting too,she's 2 weeks ahead of me!! At least I'll have someone to talk to!!x
