Feeling really blue

[handbagqueen]

Hi all, just feel like I need a bit of a moan really...
Its such a nice day today but I can't bring myself to get up and get outside cos I feel really blue. Think its just my hormones playing up again but I just feel so down, i'm sick of waiting for my scan- 9 days to go. Wish we hadn't told the famly now as I'd feel so awful if something does go wrong and we have to tell them all. I stupidly used my doppler again to see if I could hear the hb and no luck again so I think this has just set me up for a really bad day. I'm so scared something is going to go wrong and theres not going to be anything there at the scan. I just can't stop crying and need a hug but dh is at work.

Awwww

Re the doppler, don't fret too much, really. Many don't hear LO's heartbeat for a few more weeks. When you've listened, have you heard the whoosing noise at all? If so, that is your placenta doing its job and working away.

Thanks for the chocs geordielass! I do keep thinking I have got so far and now reaching the 2nd tri... I just never realised that stuff could go wrong without any outward sign-DH keeps telling me to stop looking at the internet as I keep freaking myself out over missed miscarriages.

Sherlock I thought I heard a whooshing noise but I'm not even sure anymore. I'm just going to put it away for now I htink until after the scan. Then I'll at least know if theres anything to look for and what to listen out for.

Thanks Jemz24, i'm going to have some lunch and then venture out to check out the park round the corner. See if that does anything to cheer me up. Just hope it isn't full of nasty hoodies!

Hi Handbagqueen I know just how you feel. That was me a week ago. Fed up that having reached the 12 week milestone there was nothing to show for it. I have to wait til 18th Feb for the dating scan. I tried a doppler without expecting much before but when it got to 12 weeks I was desperate to hear something and I even thought that the whooshing noises were starting to get quieter so I was freaking out. I've got a bit of a bump now so I have had to tell people at about 12 weeks but I could easily have put that down to an out of control fibroid (as I know I have a fibroid that is growing) so that wasn't enough to keep my mind at rest. I was so worried about the idea of a missed miscarraige and having to tell everyone that I was no longer pregnant. I eventually heard a heartbeat at 13 weeks. It was very low down almost right at the pelvic bone....right down in the pubic hair area (sorry TMI). I found it after taking a look on YouTube to see videos of people finding the heart beat at 12-13 weeks and noticed that they were holding the probe really low down. Hang in there....I know it's difficult. I hope you soon have some reassurance

Aww bless you - here's a HUGE hug for you -> (squeeeeeeze!!)

I felt like that too - but really really don't worry, I've had days where I've wanted to crawl into a hole and stay there until scan day! Chances are, everything will be fine

Hope the rest of the 9 days doesn't go too slowly

Don't worry about the heartbeat, at my scan the heartbeat was merely a dot on the screen, had to look hard to see it so the chances of hearing it are low.

I bet baby's having a right ol' field day down there, waving, kicking it's little legs and bouncing around like no-ones business!

Hope you feel better soon xxx

Thanks everyone, feeling a lot better today. DH came home early on Saturday and made me laugh to get over it and yesterday we went out on his bike to visit my sister. Last time I'll be doing that now as jacket just about did up on the way home! Had lots of comedy moments yesterday so feel much better! Just 7 days to go now...

 

[dannii87]

7 days and counting!

You'll have more to see than most women - how exciting!!
