[jojo3972]

Most know my history I have 6 children I'm 41 and I have suffered 3 losses last 2 yrs 2 10 week mmcs and 1 4-5 week loss a yr ago, I got my Bfp 6 days ago I'm 4+1 today my tests are all very strong so all gd there but I just can't seem to shake this nervous feeling and I want to enjoy beeing pregnant , how do ya get through the days/weeks ? , I don't know if having bacterial vaginoses caused my other losses as I had this and didnt know and I didn't find out till after my loss last year and when I researched it can cause early and late losses and after having 6 children no bother I'm kinda hoping that's what the problem was and this one will be my rainbow baby , I'm using progesterone cream, taking asprin and vit d and high dose folic acid so I feel I'm doing everything I can to help this bean stick, oh I so wish I could be ignorant like I used to be , pointless thread realy just needed to get it off my chest xx

I have no doubt this is your rainbow baby, as you said you are taking everything you can to give this one a fighting chance. Apart from that try to relax and take it one day at a time and have little things planned to do to help pass the days and weeks, set yourself little milestones to help you get through TRI 1.

It would be a lot easier without the silly cramps ya get low down when does this ease off ? , I'm trying so hard I realy am but every ache pain and cramp is magnifies 100x if it wasn't for that I would be more chilled out xx

I got them for the first couple of weeks. Then they eased off. Totally normal but i know what you mean I still stress about every cake and pain now. But I guess that never stops

I have no real advice as I worried through my whole pregnancy. However I tried to set little mini milestones to get me through.

I also had weekly scans from the epu which really really helped. I was advised to take high dose folic acid and 1000mg fish oil.

Good luck and I'm sure this one will be super sticky xxx

JoJo, I'm 100% with you on that. I'm all of things and then some! I veer between being so positive and then thinking "don't set yourself up for a fall Lozzaste" Everyone keeps telling me to relax and really I'm trying so hard!
I've been visualising the baby in my arms, that's helping! I've also got two scans booked, one at 7+3 and one at 10 plus something (baby died at 10wks last time and we think the time before). Have you seen the midwife or EPU? Mine have been really helpful xx
Ps: I think our due dates are about 5 days apart! x

Hiya so in not crazy then lol I see mw Tuesday gonna have a chat to her n sort a scan out not sure if it's still self referel or not but I'm opting for a scan at 9-10 weeks cos I had an earlier scan last time at 6+4 seen a hb then it was gone at 10 weeks can't go through that again , FC we both get to graduate to tri 2 these next 4 weeks are gonna be torture lol x

 

[Lozzaste]

I know! Impossible to relax! I'm having the early scan (last time I had one at 6.5 and 8.5 but baby died at 10) so this time they are doing 7wks to check its in the right place and then 10 as that takes me further than the previous two and means I *should* be ok at the 12 week.
I never usually wish time away but oh how I wish it was November!
Good luck at your MW appt xxxxx
