I've got one and can't find heartbeat yet (10 weeks) but I loved listening in on my son during my last pregnancy but only listened once midwife had found him so I knew exactly what he sounded like x

Evening,

Another day nearly done and I am due to hit the 11 week point tomorrow (on paper anyway, expecting it to go back after scan as my cycle went pretty irregular the last few months). I say nearly done as I'll probably be asleep between 2100 & 2200, before this it was closer to midnight.

Got my maternity exemption certificate today, yay. Going to make going to the dentist next month a bit better.

Still feeling a bit sick but it feels a bit more manageable. Getting a bit of a breakout on my face though which makes me feel like a teenager again! I've had a few headaches, but fortunately not too many.
I've looked into the Doppler's but I am sure I'll just panic if I can't hear anything, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use it right if I tried!

Yip my face has broken out with spots also.
I was meant to get my chipped tooth fixed at the dentist last week but as I am pregnant the dentist said cause I am not getting any pain it's best to leave it until baby here as can't do fillings etc just now. If I get pain then I have to call and they can do a temporary fix but would mean going into the tooth twice.

Morning ,

I have been a bit absent for last couple of days but I am back
I am struggling as well with evening headaches now, which make be feel very miserable. Looks like I am 10 weeks today, still hard to believe.
Yesterday I have been to doctors, because of some palpitations in the past , checked my heart and everything seems to be all right which is a big relieve. Anyway, doctor told me not to stress and I might get then because of stress.

About Doppler's I really don't know what to do, if to get one or not in the future. I know I will panic if I won't be able to find the heartbeat so will see what's best to do.

A very busy period for me ahead, will be moving in the next couple of months in our first house and We basically haven't got anything, so I will have to buy all furniture etc.

I am still waiting for my letter with scan dates for 12 weeks . Hope will come soon as I want to start the countdown

Morning all,

I have booked my reassurance scan...... 11.30 Thursday morning, don't think I am going to sleep a wink till then! Found out yesterday my friend is pregnant, I was dying to tell her I was too but I just can't in case anything goes wrong. I feel less and less pregnant, my boobs ache but not like they did, I have no nausea but then I never did, I am exhausted all the time but I always am anyway, am just really starting to panic now, what if it is going to be another medically managed miscarriage, what if there is no heart beat again, feel sick with nerves

 

[Heather1981]

Ally's a what a busy few months u are going to have bit please try take things easy!
Glad all is good from doctors visit..
Flick u will need to keep us up to date with ur scan ��
My nausea comes and goes and when I feel fine I start to worry but then get hit again with feeling sick and I wish I didn't feel rubbish. You can't win lol
My little boy is properly today with a bad cold and I am working this afternoon, I don't want to leave him!

 

[Allysa151]

Flick try to be positive , just 2 days and you will know for sure . My boobs are not sore either now and sometimes I don't even feel pregnant . When cramps or headaches kicks in they remind me.

Heather, sorry for your little one , must be hard to leave him but we will be fine with someone from your family until you come back .

I just received my dating scan letter! Finally.... it is on 4th April and I will be 13 weeks...hoping to be earlier but well 3 more weeks to wait.

I know and am really trying to stay positive, isn't it strange how if I hadn't had a miscarriage before I prob wouldn't even be worrying about it?! 3 weeks isn't far away now, shame it wasn't the week before as then you could go into mothers day showing off your scan Am glad I have you all to talk to, sometimes feels a very lonely experience with all the mad thoughts that go through your head, you don't really want to say them out loud at times ha ha x

Flick, I've already had one reassurance scan and am talking myself out of another this week - my 12 week one is only next Friday, lol! I can't really afford it, it's £99 where I live, if it was cheaper I prob would have gone for it.
If it hadn't been next Friday, I would have had to book one - I've got a family party on the Saturday and there is no way I would not be drinking normally, plus I can now tell my mum on Mother's Day!

I'm still feeling ok, boobs now ok, bloat still there, and nausea now gone. Just so tired, I'm sleeping like I'm in a coma! I done a food shop earlier, came home, and slept for 2 hours - oops!

I keep seeing things about people losing their baby and miscarrying this late. I know it can happen to anyone, and I know it can happen past 12 weeks, but I suppose I'm more sensitive to it now. Someone at work miscarried st 21 weeks, and another has just had to go through a stillbirth...it just makes me so sad, and hard to stay positive...

 

[Allysa151]

Lea, I feel the same... I am seeing a lot of misscariages, a collegue of my OH gave birth and the baby died one day after because was born with one kidney (they did not pick this up on scan). I am so scared sometimes, but I know it is not helping and trying to stay positive even if is hard. My OH told me not to read anymore and stay as little as posible online.. because he sees how much is affecting me..

I am praying everyday to end all well..

 

[Heather1981]

I have my scan on the 27th I hinted to my husband he would need to get me a card from my little boy and o seen one that says from bump and I thought after scan on the Monday I could then tell everyone with the photo of my cards ��

 

[Vickilou25]

I'm waiting for mine still hope Mr postman brings it tomorrow

 

[Heather1981]

When I had my booking in appointment the midwife did mention I could get the flu jab. Have any of u been and got it or are u getting it?
I have cold like symptoms and my little boy has a bad cough/ snotty nose so I am thinking I am best to wait.
How's everyone been today ?
I have eaten or picked at things all day then I made dinner and couldn't eat it

 

[Flick9670]

So today I have my reassurance scan and I have hardly slept a wink worrying about it, will it be like last time and there is no heart beat, bricking it!!

 

[Allysa151]

Morning everyone,
Flick already scan day !! Fingers crossed for u x waiting for updates after your scan.
19 more days till my dating scan ..seems like a lifetime till then.. I am thinking to tell my boss earlier as I am so so tired at work ..I am so sensitive and little things make me want to cry. I thought is ok to wait as I work in an office and it is not affecting my health in any way . I seem to get cramps in the evening after work and I am very moody

How is everyone today?

How is everyone today?

Thank you, it is a reassurance scan rather than my dating scan, just need to know all is ok as I don't have my midwife appointment till Tuesday which means god knows how long I will have to wait for my '12' week scan, am 10 weeks 5 days today, I forgot how worrying the first trimester was to be honest! I have told my boss but under strict instructions not to tell anyone, that is more just in case anything happens?

 

[Allysa151]

I had my reassurance scan at 7 weeks as I couldn't believe I was pregnant. In my office everyone is suspecting that I am, however I never confirmed and I won't until next scan to be sure all is well.
Wow 10 weeks 5 days, will be exciting today to see your little one
I am tempted to take another private scan but my OH gave me clear instruction not to spend any more money in my area the cheapest scan is £ 89

Am quite lucky I found one that is £45, am excited but nervous, I just really dont want there to be no noise, no heartbeat again

 

[Heather1981]

Flick fingers crossed all will be ok and we will be waiting for the update.
I told my boss but told them to keep it quiet just now as I have had mc in past. Once I have had my scan I will go on to tell the rest of my work.

 

[Vickilou25]

Still no scan date for me grrr!! Have my booking in appointment for tomorrow tho so guess she will tell me if she's sorted a scan or not!
Hope your scan goes well flick xx
