Can you stock up on some non alcoholic bottles (but hide them)?! I hear Aldi do some really nice ones? I really hope this time around we have less dramas- particularly now we're a bit better informed! Are you being scanned at 8 and 10 weeks too? Xx

We have an Aldi quite near may have to go and suss it out!! I'm having another scan at 9 weeks, eeeek! When I can see more at that scan and everything is okay I will be happy! Are you having repeat scans? x

 

[Lulu90]

I've requested to join the Facebook group xx

 

[emma241179]

Yay! Nice to have you join us Lulu!

Yeh we're having extra scans at 8 and 10 weeks and possibly more after the 12 week mark depending on growth.. I think I'll feel a lot more relaxed after the 8 week one.. hopefully!! X

How's everyone today? I had the weirdest dream last night that I went for my scan and the baby was like a really angry man with an afro. Looked like Mario from Mario kart. I've had lots of crazy dreams recently but that takes the biscuit!

Got the doc tomorrow for my blood test results to see if there was any reason for my first 2 miscarriages so feeling quite nervous about that but as they didn't phone when the results came back it's hopefully good news.

 

[JoeyClare]

Baby Mario! Haha. Well we told my parents today!

It was funny. It took a few minutes and then my mum read the tshirt and she was so excited. My dad couldn't work out why we were squealing, so we had to tell him to look at the tshirt. Also sent a message to my two brothers and asked them to keep it quiet for now. I'm glad I told them though, they were so chuffed!

Really not looking forward to work tomorrow!

 

[Joeypops]

Aww that's lovely JoeyClare!

 

[Lulu90]

So cute JoeyClare. I'm glad everyone's chuffed. None of our family are getting excited until they see the 12 weeks scan haha xx

Great news Mumbear, that's awesome and happy birthday!

Joeyclare, love the t-shirt!

Joeypops I'm def with you on the weird dream front although that is funny!

Glad you're all doing well, apart from all the sickness!!

So has anyone ever had an experience with a subchorionic hematoma? I had the most terrifying experience of my life on Friday - (advance warning of the tmi I in this post btw!) so I'm driving home Friday night and feel this gush of blood through my jeans, so when I get home I run into the house and it just pours out of me, then within less than a minute a huge (the size of my fist, no exaggeration) clot comes out - I immediately go into panic mode thinking I've just miscarried while the hubs is trying to calm me down. I went in for an emergency scan on Saturday morning to find my little beans heart beating away... however the sonographer has told me there is still another hematoma, now at the same level as the baby and measuring not much smaller. So they've said that experience could happen again and it could bring the baby with it, or it will re-absorb into my body. So we're back on tenterhooks again - there was me thinking it was the getting pregnant that was the hard bit... I think this is not destined to be a smooth process for me Apparently I have a retroverted and heart shaped uterus too what ever that means... I'm back on monitoring with another scan in 10 days...I had no idea this could be soooo emotionally exhausting.

 

[Mumbear]

oh god 1sttimer that is so scary, I'm so sorry, are you on bedrest?

Joey that tshirt is adorable, we're thinking of something similar to put on facebook. Thank you for all the birthday wishes to be honest I had a bad day just emotionally, I was snappy and miserable and know one really remembered, just a few close friends ho hum I did get a lovely red velvet cupcake and an ice cream by the sea.

 

[1sttimer]

Hi Mumbear,

No I'm at work but I work in an office so I'm just sat behind my desk and any time I have to get up I take it very slowly...I pretty much just sat on the sofa all weekend, so hopefully I'm 'still' enough! They didn't put me on bedrest though I think it varies from doc to doc.

 

[Belfa]

Wow othat's scary 1sttimer, what a worry . Can you work from home? I would want to be on bed rest too to give it more chance of being reasorbed x

 

[Joeypops]

I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through that 1sttimer, it sounds horrendous. You must be really struggling just now too but at least they are keeping a close eye on you. Keeping everything crossed for you x

 

[Lulu90]

1sttimer, I'm so sorry to hear that, sound terrifying. I really hope it doesn't happen again xx

 

[MrsS15]

Oh Helen, that sounds absolutely terrifying you poor thing. Can you get signed off for a couple of weeks to take it easy? Sounds like that would be much better for you, your mind must be in overdrive being at work! I hope it reabsorbs quickly so you can start to enjoy your miracle baby xxx

 

[1sttimer]

Hey girls, thanks you... I'm trying not to take any time off at the moment to be honest, I think I'd go mad if I was just stuck at home all the time worrying, working does take my mind of it a little bit and sitting in my chair can't be any worse than sitting at home can it? Plus it's fairly quiet at work at the moment so I'm not stressed with it.

If the clot hasn't reduced by next Tuesday's scan they'll prob sign me off anyway. It'll be ok...it has to be, just need to keep thinking positively.

I'm more worried about if it happens at work! I've got spare clothes with me just in case as there is no warning and no time to get anywhere!

 

[Joeypops]

Yeah I'd be worried about that too but totally understand why you want to keep busy. Have you told anyone at work in case you need to suddenly rush off?

 

[1sttimer]

Hi joeypops, fortunately I work for my Dad - family business so I can disappear at any time within reason if there's a problem. If worst came to the worst I could work from home too so I'm quite lucky really compared to some. I did think what on earth would I do if I was a busy nurse or something! I'd have to stay at home!

How are you all doing?

 

[Joeypops]

That's good. You take care of yourself and hopefully you'll get good news next week.

I feel crampy today, my back hurts and I've got my appetite back so am trying not to but am thinking the worst. Need to try to stay positive! Scan on Thursday so not too much longer to wait.
